Chapter Forty-Six: The Imperial Examination (I)
Bai Mo originally wanted to say, what answer is correct, can it be transferred by your will? But he opened his mouth and didn't say anything. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info may think that Xun Wufei's aura and conversation are most in line with the positioning of Confucianism in his mind, just like what Xun Wufei said before, to say it, I'm afraid it's not beautiful.
Bai Mo read until midnight in Dajiang Building, and then like other students, he curled up in the aisle under the bookshelf and fell asleep.
He had a dream, in which he wore sunglasses and smoked a cigarette, like a cook in "Party A and Party B", wearing a military uniform, and impassionedly telling his ambitious battle plan on the map, the dense tank cluster destroyed the enemy's primitive cavalry units in one look, the infantry screamed and fled at the first sight of the tank, and in the primitive town, a dusty local nobleman had already made a pennant, waiting for him and his troops to settle in.
When he got up in the morning, recalling this dream, Bai Mo smiled dumbly, he was a liberal arts student in his last life, and he arrived at an ancient and legendary world in this life, and nine times out of ten he could not lead a technological revolution, many scholars' views are very novel, and there are schools of thought that focus on equipment, but the precipitation of basic technologies such as smelting and chemical industry here is simply not enough to break out some kind of technological revolution.
Du Xipo's workshop specializing in the manufacture of Liuyun chairs has found an address, and is now searching for more famous craftsmen near the capital.
Bai Mo stretched his waist, touched his rumbling belly, and decided to go for breakfast, the downstairs of Dajiang was already crowded with servants who came to deliver food to the old masters and young masters at home, and the celebrities who could go to Dajiang Tower, there were not a few poor people, Xun Wupeng's kind of person was on Dajiang Tower, and he was also an outlier among the outliers.
Bai Mo found a breakfast stall, asked for a small plate of pickles and a bowl of millet porridge, and returned to Dajianglou after eating and drinking.
And so on day after day.
Outside the Dajiang Tower, there is often a big man with tattered clothes and scars on his face but always smirking around, and the people nearby say that he is a master sent by the government to protect the students studying in the Dajiang Tower, but he is just deliberately pretending to be stupid.
One day in mid-June, it was a little different from the morning.
Some students, who always get up at three poles in the sunshine on weekdays, begin to recite a large number of books early in the morning.
Bai Mo is on the eighth floor, the books in the eighth floor are all about the "Tao", those sages with different ideas in the book are very eager to expound a kind of not become backward due to time, can explain the ultimate truth of everything that happens in the universe from the root, because most of them have no basis in reality, they are pulling logic or making up some kind of concept by themselves, so the eighth floor is also called "Religious Books" by Bai Mo, most of the authors of these books are regarded as gods by Bai Mo, he came here to read purely to relieve boredom, Really nutritious books are too boring after all.
This leisure and boring reading lasted until noon, Bai Mo went downstairs, but found that the Dajiang Building, which was originally crowded with many students, no matter the height of the floor, there were no more people left, when he walked to the first floor, he found that the first floor with the most people was already empty, and asked a "wise servant" who was sorting out the bookshelf to know that today was the day when the imperial court opened the imperial court, because there was never a precedent for the imperial examination, most of the older students with higher qualifications scoffed at this matter, compared to the ranking of a paper in an examination, They are more willing to believe in Pei Xingjian's compilation and ranking of the 12 romantic products based on comprehensive information such as works, character, and reputation.
Speaking of which, the court of this world is really strange.
Obviously, a few decades ago, the Central Plains countries still practiced the Shiqing Shilu system, although Pei Xingjian began to compile the three books of Merry, Killing, and Chenyun very early, but the influence at that time was not great, until the Jin State unified the United States, only to find that the biggest problem they faced was not how to reward merit, but that there were not so many reliable and high-level reserve bureaucrats, so the remnants of the old country who were waiting to be beheaded and cleansed were rescued from the execution ground by the envoys of the Khan, however, to govern such a large country, plus them, it was still not enough, Moreover, the imperial court did not trust the remnants of these old princes, and did not want to follow the old path of the previous dynasty.
So Pei Xingjian and his three books became popular, and the imperial court selected a large number of grassroots and local bureaucrats from the amorous products, and the military general faction headed by Xiao Yan also recommended many talents among the killing products to enrich the ranks.
It can be calculated that this initial formation of the "nine-product Zhongzheng system" has only been implemented for less than ten years.
Imperial examination?
And the name is exactly the same as in another world.
Is this a coincidence?
The "wise servant" who was sorting out the bookshelves glanced at Bai Mo who was in a daze, and couldn't help but wonder: "Do you also want to participate in that imperial examination?" However, now that the exam has almost started, why are you still stunned? ”
This reminder gave Bai Mo a cold sweat, Bai Mo hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked him, and then ran out of Dajianglou at the fastest speed, stopped a carriage on the road, and said in a hurry: "Go to the Spring and Autumn Pavilion!" ”
That's right, for the first imperial examination in this world, due to the lack of preparation time and the fact that there were many scholars who came to Beijing after hearing the news, the imperial court did not have time to build a special examination venue, so it temporarily requisitioned the Spring and Autumn Pavilion of Wei Wuji's house.
Find someone to squeeze my living space, and I have to provide you with a venue, Wei Wuji's mood at this time can be imagined.
The imperial court didn't expect that so many people would come to the imperial examination in the literary world, which was originally not highly rated this time, so there was no link for the township examination at all, it was directly the examination, and the Spring and Autumn Pavilion was emptied three days in advance, and the diners who were raised by the prime minister's mansion all returned to their hometowns to be used, of course, there were many people who were too lazy to return to their hometowns, and temporarily took advantage of the beggars or jugglers on the street, and they didn't feel that there was anything to lose, and many of them simply regained their old jobs.
After a long absence, Bai Mo returned to the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, but at this time, the Spring and Autumn Pavilion was very different from the charity shelter that was not taken care of by a few people before, and there were many officers and soldiers standing at each entrance.
A shed was temporarily erected outside the main entrance of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, and when Bai Mo arrived, the officials in the shed were lazily basking in the sun, and when he saw Bai Mo, he waved his hand and said: "The exam has already started, you can come back next time, well, as for whether there is a next time, then who knows." ”
This guy must have been very unhappy that he was temporarily arrested as a registrar.
Bai Mo didn't say a word, he directly took out a gold ingot from his clothes, threw it on the ground, picked it up again, and said with a slightly playful smile: "My lord, your gold ingot has fallen." ”
"Eh! I didn't even find out, thank you, it's all open, why haven't you gone in? ”
"Xiaosheng, let's go in."
The inside of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion is more heavily guarded, and the door of each courtyard and each wing room is equipped with two soldiers to guard it, and the one who led him into the door was actually a military general, and the military general did not criticize Bai Mo for coming late, but just instructed: "Patience, the house in front is full of people, let's go inside." ”
Bai Mo couldn't deny it, this attitude was already very unexpected to him.
The two walked for a long time, but there was still no sign of stopping, only to hear the military general who did not know his name and rank: "You are a scholar in a civilian family, right?" ”
Bai Mo raised his eyebrows, am I dressed poorly and sourly?
The military general said: "Don't worry, the son is a talent, except for being a little too delicate, everything else is very good, just look at you in white, I remember that Wang Qiushui wrote a song from time to time, saying that the young man returned to the horse, and the white silk changed into a green shirt." It means that as soon as the young man who traveled far away returned, he changed from a civilian to an official. ”
Bai Mo smiled: "Bai is indeed not an official, and his parents are also clothed. The general still knows poetry? ”
"Hey, Lao Tzu was also a scholar when he was at home, and then he felt that there was no way out of studying, so he joined the army, and now he is temporarily serving as a 500 general, and he can be called a military master when he goes home. Those of us who were born in cloth clothes, except for today's Shangzhu Kingdom, which one can afford to look at in our hearts? The imperial court's opening of the department this time is also due to our Shangzhu country. ”
Bai Mo laughed and said, "Do you have to say that when a scholar enters the door?" ”
"How dare you, it's very dark on it, if it is known, it can't be said that we want to buy people's hearts? I told you this because you were pleasing to the eye, and you can't talk nonsense to the outside. ”
"Yes."
"It's here, it's ahead."
Looking at the fingers of this "five hundred generals", it is a small courtyard with only three wings, according to the unspoken rules of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, it is generally lived by newcomers who have no foundation, which is much worse than the other courtyard where he lived before.
"The first one on the left, let the brothers at the door search the body first when you enter the door, you are not allowed to bring books, pen and ink, and there are all in the pen and paper."
Bai Mo nodded, he didn't bring the tap water brush that could be used anywhere, and Dajianglou was not allowed to bring a pen, for fear of people scribbling.
The soldier searched behind him and entered the chamber.
Not only are there pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, but even spittoons, urinals, and toilets are prepared, and it is estimated that they are not allowed to go out for three days.
There was a large stack of paper on the table that had been printed with words, and I guess this was the test question.
First sentence.
Zi said micro tubule Zhong.
There is no more in the back.
Bai Mo picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and added very sloppily: "I was sent to the left." ”
This kind of question is probably similar to the fill-in-the-blank questions of later generations, which tests the amount of memorization.
In fact, Bai Mo still agrees with this form, and the fairness of writing poetry and strategy, which has a great subjective impact on judgment, can be much higher.
The first article is all Confucian, and it is not difficult.
Later, there were hundreds of schools of thought, among which the number of Legalists was more than that of Confucianism.
In this way, Bai Mo vigorously devoted himself to the cause of brushing questions.
But he didn't know that early this morning, his brother-in-law named He Tie ordered someone to carry five large boxes of gold, silver, beads and silks to the examiner's house.
