Zhang Kang took the letter sent back by his son from the northwest, sighing and being in a daze. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Mrs. Li gently pushed open the door of the study and came in, closed the door with her backhand, and hurriedly walked to Zhang Kang's side.

Seeing his wife's expression, Zhang Kang must have something important, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Jie'er sent someone from the house, saying that it was his daughter-in-law's illness, hey, there are some difficulties, I'm afraid I have to do it in a hurry," Li's lips moved, slightly unbearable, but he continued:

"Those who say it will become a joke scandal, saying that they want to do needles in the lower body, it is really, it really can't work, so please ask the master, write a letter of resignation on behalf of Jie'er."

Zhang Kang looked at Li's eager face, and continued to ask: "But is it so anxious now?" I think that the girl of the Wang family, who is knowledgeable and reasonable, should not have such a strange disease, and it is also a poor creation,

I thought that when Jie'er came back, she would be fine, and no matter how good she was, she would persuade them, but now, is this a person who can't stand it? ”

"Send someone over there, saying that it was Dr. Xu Xizhen's own broken pulse, if you don't immediately perform the needle on the lower body, I'm afraid that there are only people-" As he spoke, Li stretched out three fingers and sighed.

"Hey, unjust," Zhang Jie waved the sleeves of his robe, slowly walked to the side of the bookcase, prepared the letter of resignation, and wrote a letter to Zhang Jie to explain, "It's important to save people, and let's talk about other things." ”

Lee nodded. took the page of the letter of resignation written by Zhang Kang, and was about to walk out the door, but heard Zhang Kang say again:

"You also go and see your daughter-in-law, the Wang family married us a good girl, and it has only been a few months since we were married, and people have become like this...... I will explain the situation to the Wang family about the resignation. But after all, when entering the door as a family, at this time, I always avoided not visiting, and it was too cold after all. ”

Li Shi stood still, turned his head, nodded at Zhang Kang, and asked Zhang Kang again: "Master, in Jie'er's letter, can you say that he is in the army in the northwest, is everything okay?" ”

"Hmm." Zhang Kang was reluctant to mention the many changes in the letter to his wife, just to calm her heart, and nodded at her.

……

On the day of the palace test, the fragrance of chrysanthemums floated for ten miles.

It is said that the rules of this palace test also began in the Great Song Dynasty.

In the sixth year of Song Taizu's opening of the treasure, Li Fangzhigongju, a bachelor of Hanlin, presided over the national examination conducted by the Bianjing Gongyuan Academy. After various examinations, a total of 38 students were admitted.

However, when two of them were called, they were dethroned because of "the ugliest material and the wrong question", that is, the interview was closed.

After ten years of hard study, he was shot by the examiner in one sentence, which is a big deal. As the saying goes, "Kill the bold, starve the cowardly", "The people don't sue, the officials don't investigate", Xu Shilian, the first jinshi, angrily beat the drum, accusing Li Fang of "choosing with affection" and asking for a palace test in order to seek justice.

It was very successful, and the social impact at that time was also very great.

So Song Taizu personally issued an edict to select one hundred and ninety-five people from the first place, and together with the thirty-six people who were selected, they conducted a re-examination in the lecture hall, which was presided over by Song Taizu himself.

As a result of the first palace examination, 127 people passed the first, but among the originally admitted candidates, 10 people were unsuccessful.

After the list, there was an uproar in the government and the opposition, and Li Fang was demoted. This imperial examination case not only became the beginning of the palace examination, but also officially established the classic three-level examination system of "township examination-meeting examination-palace examination" that has ruled Chinese history for thousands of years.

Therefore, when some people tell you how the imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty is different from that of the Ming Dynasty, you can ask him to turn around and go out, find a brick at the door, hold the brick, face the head, self-strengthen the brain hole collision system, and then tell him:

The systematization, standardization, and institutionalization of the imperial examination system were established in the Song Dynasty, and later generations never deviated from their ancestors.

(When using the above two sentences to pretend to coerce people, it is recommended to only target the kind of serious people who spit on you, what he says is the official history, and use hearsay historical knowledge to make trouble there and stir up trolls.)

And if there is a special artistic treatment in a literary work, what the plot needs is not among the undershoots. History is serious, literature is brilliant, respect for history and not limited to history, is the cool point of historical literature, genuine readers have a great IQ, and they must know how to grasp the proportions~~~)

Back to the theme, in this classic historical story of the first palace test, in fact, there is a great deal of consideration and position of the emperor himself.

Song Taizu is an ordinary political trick to take the opportunity to make trouble and achieve his own goals.

Prior to this, there was a very strong factional nepotism between the examiner and the admitted candidate.

And for the reason for this incident, the emperor regarded all the people as "protégés of the Son of Heaven", and consciously cut off the opportunity for others to intervene in it and take the credit of the Son of Heaven.

After severing the connection between candidates and examiners, all the friendship between teachers and students, and the grace of promotion, all went to the emperor.

At the same time, from the perspective of modern management, this matter also has the significance of management reform of "flat management of organizational structure" to improve management efficiency.

In fact, before the palace examination, because of taking care of Wang Ziyue, Fang Zhongyong did not prepare very carefully, and he did not have the mood to win the palace examination.

However, Ma Erya didn't think so. On the day of the palace test, the second and third watches got up in the middle of the night, and used a charcoal bucket to dress the white shirt and black hat, and spread it out one by one in the morning, and there was a sense of well-dressed when it was hung up.

When Fang Zhongyong came together, Ma Erya began to dress Fang Zhongyong like a clear soup noodles with fresh and tender fresh meat.

Fang Zhongyong smelled the prescribed Gongsheng clothes on his body, there was a very light fragrance of green tea and bamboo leaves, and then looked at the two lavender cages that had been set up next to him and had not been removed, and said in his heart, Erya, this must be, even the clothes have been deliberately smoked with a faint gentleman's fragrance.

Thinking of how troublesome this was, and how much thought he had to use, Fang Zhong couldn't help but look at Ma Erya:

"Erya, I'm going to the palace test, not to the beauty pageant. You don't have to work so hard to get these, and the palace test doesn't depend on your face and clothes. ”

"You don't understand this Brother Zhongyong," Ma Erya said with a look of anger: "Erya's book fans, many of them are relatives of first-class masters, I heard that the palace can judge people by trying this thing,

Although they are all dressed in the same way, and Brother Zhongyong is like this, what if a beautiful man like Pan An comes and steals the limelight from Brother Zhongyong.

Erya specifically asked those ladies, the scholars and doctors all like this bamboo fragrance, tea fragrance, only a little bit of light smoke if there is no fragrance, it is very good"

Fang Zhongyong took the bowl of white porridge with duck egg yolk handed over in her hand, and began to drink the porridge while listening to Ma Erya's chatter. It feels like returning to a previous life, and my mother is by her side, which is very kind.

After eating and drinking, Fang Zhongyong followed a group of candidates step by step, checked the examination cards and Gongshi costumes as the first in the examination, and lined up outside the Donghua Gate.

The morning light is refreshing, the bells and drums sound, the Donghua Gate is opened, the civil and military officials are dressed in official uniforms, inside and outside the Chongzheng Palace, Renzong Zhao Zhen wears a chapter uniform and ascends to the palace.

The firecrackers crackled with the sound of the firecrackles, the teaching workshop played the music "Qi Tianle", and the entrance ceremony of the palace test tribute students was like entering a cave room.

Sure enough, "the night of the candles in the cave room, when the gold list is inscribed", the Chinese people's routine of joy has been inseparable from music, salutes and new clothes since ancient times.

The deacon of this year's palace test, Lord Fu Bifu, held the sealed secret scroll, walked into the hall step by step, opened the test paper in public, and the tributes saluted the official.

Then the chief examiner Yin Su made a speech on presiding over the exam, and the deputy examiner Ouyang Xiu expressed the precautions and expectations for the tributes.

The hundred officials withdrew, and on the small tables more than two feet high in the venue, the test questions were distributed, and Gongsheng began to answer the questions.

The palace examination is different from the township examination, and the candidates do not need to carry the pen and ink to eat, drink, pen and ink, the protégé of the Son of Heaven, all the items provided by the Son of Heaven, and the ink treasure can also be taken after the test, as a souvenir of the one-day examination of the palace.
