Chapter 212-3: How dare you search me?

In ancient times, the handling of cheating in the imperial examination has always been very harsh, and if a candidate is caught cheating, he will generally be removed from his reputation and sent to the frontier to fill the army. As for those who collude with the examiner, they usually cut off their heads directly. If you are lucky, or if the Son of Heaven is extrajudicial and gracious, you will be sentenced to a prison sentence at the lightest, which is what later generations call a suspended death, and then exiled to the land of smoke and miasma and never be hired.

The imperial examination is related to the future of scholars, and even to the rise and fall of a family, and it is most necessary to be fair, open and just. In the interest of justice, the imperial court was also very strict with the search of candidates before entering the venue.

Like in the Yuan Dynasty, candidates had to strip off their clothes for the officials to watch when they entered the examination room, and then changed into specially prepared examination clothes before entering the venue. Areas that are easy to carry, such as hair, are usually the target of a search.

Supposedly, there is nothing wrong with this provision.

However, because of their humble status, future generations cannot participate in the imperial examination, and their psychology is inevitably a little distorted, and it is particularly unpleasant to look at scholars. The attitude is also very rude when searching candidates, and sometimes it is very perverted.

In the Yuan Dynasty, there were even filthy incidents in which the officials put their fingers into the examinee's valley road to explore, which caused the examinee's valley road to bleed.

The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with scholars and respected scholars very much. After the opening of the imperial examination, Taizu also eliminated many of the shortcomings in the field of the previous dynasty, and abolished the insulting "sexual" regulations such as "naked" body searches.

Of course, this is not a hard and fast "sex" rule. Similar action may be taken against candidates at the discretion of the examiner at the time of the examination.

After Sun Dan made a big splash at the gate of the Gongyuan just now, he had already committed the anger of the officials of the Gongyuan. No matter how this official looks at Sun Dan, he has the heart to please Sun Henian, the deputy chief examiner, and definitely gives Sun Dan a little bit of quiet.

This official decided to wait for Sun Dan to strip naked, and carefully searched his valley road, mouth and nostrils, but he couldn't let go of any holes: Aren't you a great celebrity, wait to see you sweep the floor, and see how much celebrity you can keep when you scream under my fingers?

Although Sun Dan didn't know what this official wanted to do next, when he saw his ill-intentioned gaze, he felt bad in his heart. Besides, for today's action, he can't carry anything with him, and these objects naturally refuse to be searched, so he said the above paragraph.

Hearing Sun Dan's words, the official sneered and shouted rudely: "What nonsense are you talking about, let you take it off." Who do you think you are, falling into my hands, wanting to enter this examination room. I'm sorry, if you don't search and search, you won't be able to enter the exam room. Unless you don't want to take this Jinshi exam anymore? ”

Sun Dan didn't back down: "I'm a talented person with a lot of merit, what kind of dirty character do you dare to let me take off my clothes?" ”

The official snorted coldly: "I think something is wrong with you kid, you refuse to take off your clothes, do you have an entrainment on your body?" ”

Sun Dan: "What kind of character is my Sun Dan, how can I do such a thing?" According to the regulations of my Daming Imperial Examination, scholars don't need to take off their clothes before entering the venue? ”

"The regulations are the regulations, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and it falls into my hands, so naturally I have the final say?" The official became impatient, and stretched out his hand to grab Sun Dan's neckline: "Don't rub it in, do you want to enter the examination room?" ”

Sun Dan flashed and let go, and he was also annoyed in his heart, and shouted in a low voice: "You really want me to take off my clothes?" ”

"Nonsense."

"Okay, I'll open your eyes today." Sun Dan untied his belt with a cold face, "Whew!" He took off his coat with a bang.

Seeing that Sun Dan was submissive, the official was proud in his heart, and sneered: "If you want to go in, you have to follow grandpa's rules, yes, it's better to listen to the serious ...... obediently" Before he finished speaking, his smile froze on his face.

I saw that Sun Dan was wearing a moon-blue "color" cotton shirt, and four small blue "color" flags were "inserted" on the waist of that shirt. There are also four palm-sized gold lacquered wooden plaques hanging on the belt, and a large order is written on the flag and the plaque.

"This is ......" the official opened his mouth wide, his face distorted, his eyes widened, and his eyeballs were about to fall out of them.

Sun Dan nodded quietly: "You can take it and see what this is." A certain is a messenger sent by the Son of Heaven, who you dare to search for me. Be careful, I'll behead you with the Banner of Command. ”

"Yes." Hearing Sun Dan's words, the official reached out and took a sign as if he had been hit by a nightmare.

After just one glance, he knelt on the ground like an electric shock, held the sign high above his head, and wailed loudly: "My lord, the villain is confused and blinded, capital crime, capital crime!" ”

Sun Dan sneered and grabbed the sign back, didn't speak, just stared coldly at the official on the ground: "Do you know what you are doing wrong?" ”

The officer slammed his head on the stone floor, "Fluffy!" sounded, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain should die, he shouldn't search for the body of the old man." ”

"Wrong, the field has its own legal system, and it is understandable that you should act according to the law." Sun Dan stood in front of the official and said: "However, there is a provision in the Daming Law that no candidates must be 'naked' for physical examination, and there is no such example of insulting 'sexuality'. ”

"Yes, yes, the villain shouldn't let the big man take off his clothes." There was sweat and dust on the forehead of the servant, and his face lost his blood color. The Banner of the King's Order is given by the 'government' to local dignitaries such as governors, governors, or ministers, as a sign of the privilege of acting cheaply, which is equivalent to the sword of Shang Fang. With the king's order banner in hand, you can directly correct the law on the spot without going through the division.

He offended Sun Dan ruthlessly just now, if Sun Dan was about to kill someone, he was powerless to resist.

The official was very bitter in his heart: I was very unlucky today, I thought he was just an ordinary sour ding, but I never expected that he was a messenger sent by the Son of Heaven.

As soon as he thought of the consequences of offending the eldest master, the official trembled all over, only to feel the heat under his crotch, and a stream of hot "urine" and "liquid" squirted out.

Sun Dan smelled a fishy smell, frowned slightly, and shouted in a low voice: "I have the emperor's order, there are many people here, it is not a place to speak, you stand up and talk back to me." ”

"There's a big man, where is there a place for villains to stand and talk?" The officials were still kowtowing.

"Let you get up, and you will get up."

"Yes, yes, the villain will get up." The official hurriedly stood up, bowed his head, and looked at Sun Dan pitifully.

Sun Dan: "Let me ask you, wait for the exam to start, are you on duty in the examination room?" ”

"If you go back to the master, of course the villain must be inside."

"Okay, wait a minute, you will stand in front of my examination room, and as soon as you hear my order, you will open the room and let me out."

"This ...... This ......"

"What's this? I have the imperial mandate, do I need to explain it to you? Sun Dan was greatly displeased, and his face sank.

"Yes, yes, the villain just listens to the old man." The officer's heart moved, since this person named Sun Dan is a Qincha, he must have received the holy decree, it seems that this autumn season must have happened. We're just eating in the yamen, and we can't get involved, and when the time comes, he will do what he wants.

Sun Dan: "Okay, that's it, the time is gone, let me enter the examination room as soon as possible." As he spoke, he spread out his hands and motioned for the official to come and search him.

The official was shocked: "The old man spares his life, the villain is guilty, how dare you search your old man's house again?" ”

Sun snorted coldly; "The state has its own system, let you search, you will search."

Only then did the official reach out tremblingly, carefully "touched" Sun Dan's neckline under the armpit, and quickly retracted his hand: "The search is over, sir, please." ”

"Okay, lead the way."

At this time, the official found that his body was already soaked with sweat, and he couldn't lift his strength softly.

Soon, Sun Dan found his own house under the leadership of that officer.

The examination room of the Gongyuan in Shuntianfu is amazingly large, full of low sheds, and you can't see the end at a glance, and it is estimated that there are six or seven thousand rooms, which is the size of an ordinary small town.

The Gongyuan examination room is a large enclosed courtyard, just like our current prison, of course, not as terrifying as a prison, but its architectural structure is a bit similar. Except for the examiners' office houses, the rest are rows and rows of houses. The examiner's office is located at the north and south ends of the Gongyuan, and an avenue runs through the middle of the Gongyuan, connecting the two office buildings. On the left and right sides of the avenue, there are rows of houses.

The avenue in the middle of the examination room is the backbone, and the buildings on both sides are like ribs, arranged one by one. Each row is twenty or thirty meters long, divided into dozens of small compartments, without doors or windows, and there are two wooden planks on the inside. The house is arranged according to the "Thousand Character Text", "Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate and ???".

If there is no one to lead the way in a large examination room of this size, it will really take some work to find the room where you belong.

Fortunately, Sun Dan's test house is not difficult to find, and it is the sixth room of the "land" number house in the second column closest to the dragon gate.

On the wall facing the avenue, there is a big "earth" character written on it, and Sun Dan is now in the "sixth number of the word land".

When I entered the dormitory, I had to close the fence and lock the door as usual. Looking at the wooden fence as thick as an arm, Sun Danxin said: It's good to talk to this official in advance, let him open the door and let me go out at that time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to break through with such a thick wooden fence.

The rules of the examination room, once the candidate enters the examination room, the door is locked, and no one can go out until the end of the exam, even if he dies, he must die inside. Because of this regulation, during the Chenghua period, there was a fire in Nanjing Gongyuan, and the examiner did not dare to open the door, so that more than 200 Xiucai were burned alive in the fire.

The room is very small, and it is hot and stuffy to allow one person to sit alone. The sky has been hazy and bright, and candidates are entering the venue one after another, and it will really take some time for six or seven people to find their places.

Sun Dan is not in a hurry, he sits upright, looks at his nose with his eyes, and looks at his heart to nourish his qi.

I waited for more than an hour.

The hustle and bustle in the examination room finally quieted down, and the sky was completely bright. I roughly estimated that it should be 8 o'clock in the morning Beijing time.

From five o'clock in the roll call to open the gates, now three hours have passed, and everything is finally ready.

I only heard a long voice shouting in the distance: "Put the rolls!" ”

Sun Dan opened his eyes abruptly and muttered, "It's finally begun!" ”
