Huang Can's experience, for most candidates, is actually not even a warning. The general psychology of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is: Oh, it turns out that this person is so unlucky, and then there is nothing then. There are many people who gloat or accuse Huang Can of deserving, most people have no concept of this Shunde ghost, and most of those who know him are happy that he has one less opponent in the imperial examination, and few people are really sad for him.

Fan Jin was very sorry for the departure of such an open-minded person, in his opinion, if there were a few more Huang Can in the Ming Imperial Examination, maybe he could have more vitality. It's just that he currently lacks the strength to change this, let alone the direction, except for regret, all he can do is to work hard.

The celebration of the Chen family only lasted one day and then stopped, and for the remaining two days, Chen Shaodian locked himself at home to study the table topic and judgment, and asked Fan Jin about the situation of the Luoshan War. The title of this subject in Guangdong must be inseparable from Luoshan, but there is no need to say more. The content of the second exam is actually richer than the first one, and the candidates should make an essay according to the topic, judge five questions, and choose one question from the edict, edict, and table.

If you take an analogy, the first day of the exam and the primary three levels complement each other, it is still a matter of world view, the test is the student's ability to learn the mind, from the second session, is the real civil service assessment, the test of the ability of the student to be an official and the level of applied writing.

As for why these contents are not tested in the junior level, the reason is also very simple, Xiucai is not qualified to hold public office in the imperial court according to the regulations. For them, these things are not what they should know, so they do not need to be assessed. And lifting people is qualified to confer officials, such as Hai Rui, who has recently returned strongly, he himself is a person from a raised background to confer teachings, and he has been the governor and the imperial history all the way.

If they cannot effectively grasp it, they may not be able to perform their work in public office, and even normal duty behavior may not be carried out. Judging from the establishment of the imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty and the arrangement of examination content, it was actually a gradual process, and the right talents were selected and placed in the right positions through the way of examination selection. From this point of view, this system is the most appropriate method of selecting officials, at least at the current level of productivity in the Ming Dynasty.

The only problem is that the system was not designed to take into account the experience gap. An ordinary scholar, if he has never experienced real politics, whether it is a judgment or a written argument, it is difficult for a strong person. Most Xiucai may not have read the law of Da Ming, let such a person write a judgment, and what can be written is self-evident.

Moreover, from the examiner's point of view, the energy is not up to it. The curtain officials should drink the curtain wine, the curtain wine, the reward wine, the hard wine, and the regular banquet for three days and five days. People are dizzy when they drink, most of their time is taken up, and they have to publish the list at the specified time, so it is difficult to have a systematic time to read the article and judge the topic. Not to mention that the academic officers in charge of marking the papers themselves may not really understand the practice, and they often fail to meet the quality of this kind of application essay when they are asked to comment on it.

With the development of the imperial examination, candidates also have a way to cope with the two examinations, that is, to find the officials of the Ming Dynasty or the household law to memorize the five articles, and when it comes to the examination, whether it is suitable or not, they will be rigidly copied, and even in the papers of one session, most of the content is the same. Anyway, there is still a long time before being an official, and the examiner will not delve into this, compromising and fooling each other up and down, and this is also the reason why the second exam is not taken seriously.

It seems unfair to only look at the first of the three games, and only look at the first three articles in the first one, and even disrespect the national talent ceremony, but in fact, it can only be so helpless because of the actual situation.

Compared with ordinary candidates, Fan Jin took advantage of the second exam. His simulated Zhizhou training in Luoshan was not in vain, in addition to his daily work, including writing judgments and tables, it was all part of his work. Even Ling Yunyi's report to the imperial court for his worksheet work is inseparable from Fan Jin's pen, so he has been in contact with these applied styles for a long time, and it is not difficult to write.

From Xiao Fan Zhuang to helping Yang Liu's lawsuit, Da Ming Law Fan has read it more than once, and with the blessing of the system, the law can be remembered clearly. The learning from later generations has made his logical thinking ability stronger than that of most candidates in this era, and doing this kind of application question is actually more suitable for him to play than doing that kind of eight-strand question.

The strategy of the third session is similar to the topic of discussion in later generations. The examiner will give five questions about governance, and the candidate will choose one of them to answer. Don't write the title of the question on the answer (because the question is too long). Write only the first few questions, and then fill in the answers below. In the third session, the government gave five questions, and the candidates chose one of them to make a strategy, requiring 1,000 words, which was the only exam in which the questioner wrote more words than the candidates, and the test was the easiest.

If there were other time-travelers in this era who also wanted to take the road of the imperial examination to advance, they could not fantasize about writing shocking content by relying on the strategy link, or simply using some future insight to convince the ancients to obtain their origins, which was not possible in the Ming Dynasty.

The judgment must be lawful, and the strategy must be ancient. The written policy must be based on the words of the sages, the Five Classics and the Four Books, point out what the ancient sages and sages did, and write allusions to prove that they are not made up by themselves. In fact, it is to solve new problems in old ways.

Candidates have not gone through practice, and no matter whether they use new or old methods, it is difficult to solve problems in practice. What's more, for this kind of restriction, for the candidates, most of the cases are just making up nonsense and talking about the words of saints. And after the three exams, it is very close to the time for the release of the list, and the examiner has to be busy reading the essay, writing the list, and even more busy drinking and enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, how can there be so much time to watch white-faced scholars write strategies.

So when it comes to this scene, the overall pattern is that the candidates write casually, the examiners read casually, the four books determine whether they are admitted or not, and the five classics determine the ranking. The judgment of the second scene is the icing on the cake, and the article of the third scene is of little use even if it is written in a flashy manner. Therefore, no matter how talented a person is, he will not be able to reflect it in the township test and policy theory, and if he has the ability to do so, he can only wait until the time of the examination.

Even if Fan entered the three games, that is, he dealt with one article indiscriminately, and found a problem of Luo Ding Jianzhou and wrote a policy theory, but in fact, there was no content, and Ling Yunyi would probably flip the table after reading it. Anyway, no one cares about this thing, just write it.

After the three exams, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the candidates can't eat good things in the exam room, so they will naturally make up for it when the exam is over. Although there is food for sale in the tribute courtyard, the quality and price are very touching, and the only requirement for it is that it is enough to eat the undead, and nothing else can be extravagant.

After taking the autumn exam, those who are on the list will be on the same list in the future, and they have the obligation to help each other. Helping to fight before the exam, being an official and helping to fight a lawsuit are all due righteousness, so it is the right time to seize the time to contact feelings, engage in a fellow villagers' association, or a banquet for talented people.

The banquet order in Yipinxiangli has been lined up for seven days, and the well-dressed and handsome people are crowded with restaurants early to fight with all kinds of delicacies, and Ah Qiao and other blind girls are singing on the stage the story of the talented high school champion marrying the daughter of the prime minister's house, boosting the morale of the future pillars. Sister Hu dressed herself up ugly, served food back and forth, and even brought the women of the Lin fleet, so that the talented people couldn't think of anything else.

On the second floor, in the middle of the elegant seat, Fan Jin, Sa Shizhong, Chen Lan, and Fu Liang sat together. As soon as the exam ended, the task of the field guards was most relaxed, considering that there were basically no mentally ill people attacking the Gongyuan to snatch the exam papers in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the soldiers had been on vacation to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fu Liang naturally gave himself a holiday.

In August, the crab was fat, and Fan Jin specially prepared a chrysanthemum pot, ten pairs of good crabs, a few jars of cinnamon wine, and a few people pushing cups to change the lamps were very hot. Although the four of them contain the civil and military and the brocade system, but after a number of events with each other, they naturally intersect, if Fan Jin wins the Jinshi in the future, several people can be taken care of, so he is also very enthusiastic about his fame.

Sa Shizhong said: "The examiners and supervisors in each room are their own people, and Brother Fan must be famous on the list of dragons and tigers." What is missing now is a ranking. Yang Wenzhongting and twelve-year-old township test in this dynasty, Yang Wenxiang Yiqing was fourteen years old, Brother Fan is eighteen years old this year, slightly late, only the same age as Xie Yuan, I hope that Brother Fan will be a Xie Yuan, everyone will wrap up the red sleeves when the time comes, and give you a good congratulations. ”

Chen Ling smiled and said: "Brother Sa's method is good, but it's a pity that Brother Fan is not suitable." If he really dared to go on such a journey, he was afraid that his ears would suffer, his knees would suffer, and he would have to put a basin on his head. ”

The four of them laughed for a while, and Fan Jin said: "Brother Chengsa, it's okay for our brothers to talk about this, if those students outside hear it, most of them will say that I don't know what to do." Although Brother Huang was accidentally dealt with for a while, but Chaozhou Lin Mengchu's knowledge is amazing, and from the bottom of my heart, my knowledge is probably inferior to his. ”

Fu Liang also said: "This Lin Mengchu is very evil, I put a fox in his room, originally hoping to bite him or scare him." I don't know what the means are, but this guy actually lowered the beast. I heard that when he appeared, he walked with a fox, and the beast obediently coiled in his box, neither barking nor making trouble, do you think it is an evil door? People say that scholars have a heroic and righteous spirit, and a hundred spirits are not invaded, and it seems that this is true. ”

Sa Shizhong snorted, "I'm not very convinced by this, if he really doesn't invade the spirits, he will go to Luoshan for a while." There are still a few mass graves over there, and the night is windy, and the ghost cries wolf, and if he can stop it, I will write a letter to him. There is no paper in the field, and the level of his knowledge has nothing to do with whether he is recorded or not, it mainly depends on the person. Now, the biggest variable is the two examiners. ”

Fu Liang also said: "Yes, although Mei Zhushi is powerful, but Hengwen is also powerless and unable to intervene in this kind of matter." If Pang and Wu have intentions, I am afraid that there will still be twists and turns. After all, Hai Rui has now returned to his hometown, who knows if they will be jealous of his fame and deliberately depose those students who are related to the government. ”

Fan Jin smiled: "Depose, they won't." As for my ranking, it's useless for us to guess the riddle. The two Beijing officials have the ideas of the Beijing officials and have their own plans, so let's not guess the riddle. Anyway, in five days it will be the day, and it is the time to release the list, and when the time comes, you will know at a glance, now you don't have to worry about yourself, come, I will toast a few glasses! ”

In the Gongyuan, a banquet has also been set up at this time, Pang Feng and Wu Lian are the two Hanlins, led by a group of examiners to enjoy the moon and drink, Fan fish, drunken crabs and even lotus paste cakes, etc., are not lacking, and the table is full. After three rounds of drinking, Pang Feng cut from idle talk to the main topic. Since entering the examination room, he and Wu Lian have locked up and not negotiated with the outside world, which is of course a way to ask for favors, but also makes a group of colleagues feel that they are unfathomable, and they can't figure out what kind of road they are.

When the exams begin, the examiners have regular banquets that they will definitely attend, but they also listen more and talk less, and rarely express their opinions. It wasn't until now that it was almost time to see the difference, and when it was really time to set the tone, Pang Feng said:

"Rank, when the lower officials went out of Beijing, Yuan Weng had something to say."

Several scholars put down their chopsticks, their eyes fell on Pang Feng, and they only heard Pang Feng say: "The imperial court set up the imperial examination to select the handsome show, and its intention is nothing more than to select talents for the country. The setting of the three fields is used to peek at its talent and learning in the self-volume, in order to see whether it can contribute to the country, which is the intention of the establishment of the science field. However, in recent years, the style of study in the country has deteriorated, and the scholars have been looking for more opportunities and tricks, drilling with their hearts, and being flashy in their studies, only seeking to be lucky for a while, and no one is serious about making a fuss, let alone doing things. Yuan Weng is deeply worried about this, for the sake of the correct style of study, the discipline of the discipline, and the rules of the undergraduate autumn season, we must change it! ”

The examiner has absolute authority on such occasions, and the yardstick for admission to the exam is given by the examiner, and no matter whether it is right or wrong, everyone else has to obey. If something goes wrong, it will naturally be the main examiner. The eyes of all the house officials looked over, and Pang Feng continued:

"Yuan Weng said, in recent years, my students have talked more about their hearts and minds, and less about practical affairs, and the pro-people officials are often coerced by the officials, and they can't do anything themselves. Once the new law of the imperial court contradicts the officials, it will be corrupted, and the officials will be deceived by others, and they will act as tigers without knowing it. Officials must be able to do anything, or they will be deposed! If you want to do anything, you must first be familiar with the laws and regulations and know the practice, so the undergraduate admission is a bachelor's degree, and the admission is determined by the four books of the comprehensive examination and the scriptures, and the ranking is determined by judgment and judgment. It seems that those who only know two or three laws and apply them casually, no matter how high they learn, they cannot be listed as the five leaders! ”

A fellow examiner couldn't help but say: "But the five kui are the five classics, and it seems that it is inconsistent with etiquette to judge instead of taking the scriptures." ”

Pang Feng smiled, "What's so difficult about this?" The first decision is made of those who are excellent in judgment, and then those who are superior in scripture and righteousness are selected from among them, and it is not against the system. Besides, this is the meaning of Yuan Weng, we just need to do it, and we don't need to beak. Please hurry up and hand in the excellent papers of the second session of this room, so as not to delay the release of the list. ”

Several examiners were speechless. Zhang Juzheng's domineering is better than the original high arch, and a few small house officials naturally do not have the qualifications and courage to compete with the first assistant, except for accepting, there is actually nothing to think about. Cui Shan secretly said in his heart: That Fan Jin doesn't know what means, he can go straight to the sky, this immortal actually used it twice to open his eyes, and even this god from the capital helped him? The so-called scholars who can be practical, in addition to Fan Jin, there is a second one in this subject?

After returning to the room, Wu Lian came to Pang Feng's room and said in a low voice: "I look at these same exams, and there seems to be uncertainty on my face......

Pang Feng sneered, "What does it matter if they are happy or not?" We are going back to Beijing, except for Yuan Weng's meaning, other people's thoughts...... Don't bother. Come with me and look into the rooms, and if there is any good book that you have missed, you can search for it. If this person is missed, we will wait to marry Dan in Hanlin Academy for a lifetime, and we will not think about Dan becoming a soarer. The future is important, and it should not be neglected. ”
