Chapter 10: A Thousand Autumns and a New Tone (12)
"Isn't that right?"
Han Gang smiled slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
The questions he formulated couldn't be regarded as policy questions at all, and Han Jiang looked at these questions with the eyes of a policy question, of course, it didn't feel right.
"When Han Gang formulated these questions, he did have some ideas in them." Han Gang admitted it calmly.
Han Gang's answer was expected by Han Jiang.
When Han Gang was asked to formulate the exam questions, Han Jiang had already had a certain degree of psychological preparation for him to integrate qi views into the questions.
With the current situation of Qi science and new science contending, it is impossible for Han Gang not to take advantage of this. Therefore, he and Zhang Qicai did not have the opportunity to compete with Han Gang for the preparation of exam questions.
The examination questions of the provincial examination and the palace examination are the vane in the Shilin.
Among them, the provincial examination that determines whether Gongsheng can be named on the gold list is more important, and it is also that in the next three years, all the scholars in the world need to figure out the direction of intensive research.
The questions of the palace examination are of greater significance to the courtiers, which represents the focus of the Son of Heaven at present, and also indicates the recent political trend.
Han Gang wants to embody the characteristics of qi science and promote the influence of qi science to the world, and the palace examination questions of Jinshi are the best opportunities he can get in the near future.
However, Han Jiang didn't expect Han Gang to come up with such questions, seeing these questions, would Jian Zhoufu be willing to go to Luoyang?
"But these questions are really not suitable for policymaking." Han Jiang sighed.
It is the Son of Heaven who asks about politics. It is for the candidates to look at the problem from the perspective of the imperial court, and then advise the Son of Heaven on how to deal with the questions raised in the question.
Xining discussed the law in three years, Xining asked Que Zheng in six years, and in the ninth year, the content of the palace test was related to the enemies in the north and northwest.
It is about the overall situation, and it is about the world.
However, the question given by Han Gang was specific to the local government affairs and the government affairs in the 100 divisions in Beijing, and he took it out and asked the tribute students to analyze it. It touches on practice, but it is completely different from the past policy.
Even if this is just a preliminary attempt to formulate new questions, the questions in the real temple examination will definitely not be the same as now, but it is too unimaginable.
When the Empress Dowager was unable to formulate the questions herself, the examination questions submitted by the courtiers should not be too ingenious, and even should be mediocre in order to avoid becoming the focus of scholars' arguments and being attacked by others. Han Gang seemed to ignore these at all.
"Xianggong, the role of the examination is to promote talents. The reason why Han Gang had criticized the exam questions given to Huang Sheng by Jian Zhoufu and the other four was because it was impossible to select a candidate as a border minister with such a question. β
"Yukun, what you said is indeed not wrong, but you should also pay attention to the style."
Han Gang turned his head and swept the back with his afterglow, and the other Zaifu were very sensibly far away, so that Han Gang and Han Jiang could talk without too many scruples.
After taking a few steps, he asked softly, "The palace exam doesn't have to be just one question, right?" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Han Jiang and Han Gang seemed to be discussing something.
After staring at the back for a few times, Zhang Dian could more or less guess some.
In addition to the questions of the temple exam, there should be no other issues that need to be discussed on the road.
What's more, when the wind was blowing, Zhang Dian heard the first few intermittent words, although they were vague, but they were enough to confirm.
Han Gang wanted to use it to carry forward Qi Learning, his goal could not be just the palace test, and he would definitely not let go of the subsequent imperial test.
I don't know what the questions of the temple examination will become under his proposition.
If Han Gang's test questions can't convince the public, it will be the biggest irony for Han Gang, who insisted on driving Jian Zhoufu and others out of the capital two days ago, and it will also be a blow to Qi Xue.
Of course, if the Queen Mother has insisted on letting Han Gang answer the questions since then, I am afraid that no one will be willing to sacrifice their future and collide with Han Gang's exam questions to the end.
Zhang Dian raised his eyebrows, and he found that after taking a few more steps, Han Gang and Han Jiang's expressions became more serious.
What exactly is being said?
Regarding the conversation between Han Jiang and Han Gang, Zhang Dian wanted to know more or less, but this time, no matter how the wind blew, there was no oncoming wind direction, and Zhang Dian could not hear the discussion between the two in front of him again.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦ Of course. β
After stopping to watch, Han Jiang nodded, understanding Han Gang's intentions.
Three years before Xining, the Jinshi Palace had to be a poem, a fu, and a treatise, and a little earlier, there was only one poem, but no theory. Xining's three-year palace examination has become a pure question. Nowadays, going from one question to two questions is not a big deal at all - maybe it is a big deal for the candidates, but in terms of style, there is no problem.
"But since there are two questions, they will be prioritized." Han Jiang said as he walked, "In the past, the palace examination needed to give one to each poem, among which Fu was the most important, followed by the second, and the poem was the last. As long as the Fu is well written, even if the poems and treatises are only in the middle level, they can also win the champion. On the other hand, there have been in the Fuzhong, even if the poems and theories are good, it will not help. Yukun, your father-in-law, wrote 'son and friend' in Fu, so he lost the champion. The treatises and poems written by your father-in-law at that time were circulated afterwards, and Yang Xianxian, who was the champion, couldn't compare, but it was useless. β
Han Jiang said and smiled, "This example is actually not appropriate, before Emperor Renzong read the papers, Ling Yue was still ranked first. However, how many champions in this dynasty are won by Fu, far away there are Wang Wenzhengzeng's "There are things mixed into Fu", and a little closer there is also Zhang Heng's "Minjian Fu", I'm afraid you have also heard and read Yukun, and won the championship with poetry and theory, Yukun, remember how many? β
As he spoke, he looked back at Han Gang, who was walking half a step behind the side, and saw Han Gang shaking his head silently.
Han Jiang smiled, there were really not many times when he could teach Han Gang a lesson, "Yukun, if you want to add one more question, although this idea is good, I am afraid that it will become a copy of the poetry theory, the examiner and the candidate, they only pay attention to one question, and the other question will not be too careful." β
"Han Gang has another superficial opinion, and I want to provide it for the public's reference." Han Gang is confident, it is too easy for him to solve this problem, "In Han Gang's opinion, it is better to get a full score of 100 points, two test questions or 64, or 73, or half of each, after judging the paper, the scores of the two questions will be added up, and the one with the highest total score wins." In this way, it is also easy to sort the jinshi. β
In the exams of later generations, Han Gang has experienced too much, and a 100-point system can solve Han Jiang's problem. As long as the questions he gave are converted into the total score, which candidate dares to give up one of the questions?
Even if it is a three-seven opening, Han Gang's exam questions only account for thirty points, but for the candidates, no matter how well they do another question, they can only get seventy points, and if they don't have these thirty points, or only get more than ten points, it is impossible to compete for an opponent who has scored ninety percent on both questions.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Su Song was a few steps away from Zhang Duan in front of him.
All along, Su Song had no intention of shortening this distance.
For him, it was an accident to become a member of the Privy Council. However, Su Song didn't know if this was an accident for Han Gang.
The Queen Mother's letter to Han Gang can be seen with long eyes. However, it is difficult to say that Han Gang recommended himself to become a privy councillor in front of the Queen Mother.
This promotion, nominally, has changed, and he is one of the two chief officers of the Privy Council, but in reality, it is no different from when he was a privy deputy before, and it is still a little lower than Zhangton.
From this point of view, Han Gang should not do such a thing. Except for Yu Lu and other matters, Su Song's authority and treatment are no different from before, and with Han Gang's character, he will definitely not do this. Han Gang doesn't have much time now, to discuss with the Queen Mother for a false title. It is not worth it to spend the Queen Mother's trust for this.
And Han Gang now has more important things to consider. Although he hadn't discussed it with Han Gang recently, before Han Gang took the opportunity to send Zhou Fu and the other four people, Su Song had already seen a little sign from it.
Since Jian Zhoufu was driven away on the grounds that the exam questions were unsatisfactory, it was logical to intervene in the exam questions of the imperial examination and the palace examination for similar reasons.
With the help of exam questions to promote qi, what Han Gang will do, Su Song can also think of it.
However, he just didn't know whether Han Gang wanted to reflect Zhang Zai's views in the exam questions or Han Gang's own opinions.
Su Song does not completely agree with Zhang Zai's views. As for Han Gang's thoughts, Su Song felt that it was very reasonable. Compared with Zhang Zai's series of works, Han Gang's study of nature is more in line with his appetite.
Looking ahead, Han Jiang and Han Gang were slightly separated from the front and back, Su Song felt that Han Gang should not make a mistake.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦ Or Yukun is thoughtful. After walking in silence for a while, Han Jiang nodded, he had already figured out Han Gang's proposal, and it did have its effect, "But Yukun, what other questions do you plan to come up with?" β
Han Gang has already come up with a question that doesn't look like a question, can there be another one? It's really not impossible, Han Jiang thought.
There are also interpretations of the scriptures and meanings in Qi science, and it is a very thoughtful idea to disseminate and carry forward these interpretations through the treatise.
γ2nd Updateγ
It's just that if Han Gang really did this, he would probably be able to see his father-in-law and his old friend furious.
Such a change can provoke Wang Anshi's temper even more than cleaning up the four examiners including Jian Zhoufu before.
Han Jiang can imagine the scene at that time, as long as Han Gang really does this, the result will most likely be like this.
But Han Gang shook his head, "The topic that Han Gang wants to come up with is this kind of topic." As for the question, please bother with it. β
When Han Jiang heard this, he paused and looked at Han Gang in surprise, "Yukun? β¦β¦β
"Of course, the question has to be done separately. Han Gang thought so from the beginning. Han Gang whispered to Han Jiang, "Xianggong Fang also said that these questions can't be regarded as strategic questions. β
"It's not a question, but what?" Han Jiang asked puzzled.
"Zi said, Shen is talking about it...... Deuteronomy! β
