Chapter 207: The temple test is coming

Only then did the students follow Yuan Wei's gaze to find this Li Weiguo. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's not tall, his face is black and red, and he always seems to have a silly smile on his face.

But just such a student who is not good-looking, and most students don't know or even disdain to know on weekdays, has now become a huiyuan, and this has been praised in public by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites?

Yuan Wei is the "Prime Minister of Qingzi", and he was born in the right era, because Jiajing is mediocre, this person is like riding a rocket, and he is promoted as if he is in his own office!

It can also be seen that this person's talent is indeed outstanding, otherwise Jiajing, such an emperor who is not easy to serve, how can you let you do things without waiting for you to do things, which is like your desire to be promoted?

But it is rare for such a talented official, who is admired by both the government and the opposition, to praise Huiyuan Li Weiguo in public in the palace.

After saying this, Yuan Wei nodded with satisfaction at Li Weiguo, looking at it a little bit of finding the heir of the mantle, and the students were even more jealous of Li Weiguo, this son is simply a unique favor!

As usual, after the official lecture, the students will conduct a re-examination.

Speaking of the location of this temple test, in fact, there have been many changes in history, at first it was outside Tiananmen Square, and then it was changed to the steps in front of the temple of prudence, and then moved to the wing room of the temple of the body in case of wind and rain, and changed back and forth, and finally changed directly to the hall of the body.

The room is very large, and each student is far away from each other, and now to the emperor's place, you want to cheat again is naturally a calf, a group of students find their seat number and sit down, which raises the pen to answer, this re-examination exam is the same as the palace test, limited to one day, Chen in and out.

The question of the test paper is a current policy, generally three questions, one or two things to ask, and an essay of several hundred words.

Examination writing, as usual, to use the "Taige style", this style is also because of the imperial examination this flourished, so that gradually formed the examination room of the common font, the handwriting black, square, light swamp, and so large.

The founder of this font is Shen Du, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy during the Yongle period, his handwriting is very good, and he is deeply appreciated by Zhu Di, so the name is important to the government and the opposition, and Luoyang paper is expensive for a while, and the students have imitated it, and then slowly become customized.

As a result, the imperial examination has developed to this day, and the beautiful Taige style calligraphy has actually become an introductory skill for the examination.

Fortunately, Li Weiguo has been practicing calligraphy for many years, so this is also a mellow and good handwriting, otherwise it is really not easy to stand out in this palace exam.

……

After a day of examination, all the tributes were dazed, and the invigilator shouted: Collect the papers.

The re-examination is also the same as the palace examination, there is no need to transcribe, and the candidate's paper will be sealed after the name is closed, and there will naturally be a reader to mark the paper.

After a tired day, the students have come out of the examination room of this temple one after another, and the re-examination of this day is finally over, but now is not the time to relax, because tomorrow will usher in the serious palace examination of eight hundred!

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the re-examination was generally before the palace examination, in fact, the main task of the re-examination was to familiarize the candidates with the environment, as long as the candidates did not make some low-level mistakes, they would generally not be removed.

The so-called low-level mistakes generally refer to taboos, such as the mistake that the oracle is not written at the top, and in addition to this, it is generally not removed, that is to say, these students who are re-examined today are basically fortunate to be able to participate in the temple exam tomorrow.

The palace examination is the highest level of the imperial examination in the feudal era, presided over by the emperor Lao'er himself, not brushing people, but re-ranking and first-class.

The reason can be traced back to the time of the Song Dynasty, it is said that when the Gongshi Zhang Yuan fell because of the palace test, he had no choice but to leave the Western Xia, but unexpectedly, this person blossomed inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall, this person was unknown in the Great Song Dynasty, but in the Western Xia was like a fish in water, and it fluttered up! Later, he returned to the prime minister, repeatedly committed side crimes, and became a big problem for the Northern Song Dynasty!

Therefore, during the time of Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, the imperial court changed the last elimination method of this palace test, the purpose was also to prevent the literati from rebelling for the imperial court, and later this rule was passed down and used in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The students went back to rest and didn't have a long time, so they got up early again, and today ushered in the most important exam in their lives - the palace exam.

The palace examination was also in this palace of worship, presided over by the emperor himself.

The intention of the emperor Lao'er to personally preside over the palace examination is obvious, firstly, to highlight the emperor's status as the "grandmaster of the world", and secondly, to highlight the identity of the Chinese as the "protégé of the Son of Heaven".

As a result, students who have won the Jinshi can proudly declare to the world that Lao Tzu will be a serious 800 born in the two rankings and a protégé of the Son of Heaven from now on! Therefore, the imperial examination has attracted generations of scholars to go forward and succeed each other, and they have died.

The city of Beijing is not warm in April.

As a result, it was still dark at this time, and it was still quite cold on the road, and the students were almost shivering in the cold wind, so they came to this hall again.

Because I just came here once yesterday, the students are also familiar with the road, and they are no longer so nervous or ugly, but just follow the footsteps of the officials.

Looking at the scenery of this palace today, it is naturally different from yesterday, probably because today you can see the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so the students are also happy and nervous, and many people even whisper in their mouths what to say when they see the emperor for a while, how to be generous, not humble and not arrogant.

But it's actually, in fact, most of the students are nervous when they take the exam in this temple, and you can't have too much to say during the temple exam, just keep your head down and finish talking and wait for the saint to decide.

Thinking about this, the students gradually became more nervous, and their hearts became more uneasy.

Holding the lantern, three hundred people lined up in a long line, and then went to the temple of the body, this fashion was early in the morning, and the five fingers were not seen, and a group of students walked around like this, which also became a special scenery.

Today's exam, it can be said that to a large extent, this determines the fate of students' lives.

This is by no means alarmist.

In ancient times, there was no emphasis on personality, and there were not so many opportunities to try your luck, you are an ordinary person, and if you want to be admired by thousands of people and get ahead, it can be said that almost the only way is the imperial examination.

And the group of people walking in the imperial city today are all leaders on the road of the imperial examination, but their fate is also not in your own hands.

The emperor may change your rank at will because your name sounds rude, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Chinese history, there were many times in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di was because he was wrong, and the ministers originally proposed the first "Sun Rigong" to see Sun Storm and feel disliked, which changed the "criminal leniency" of the ninth place in the second class to the champion.

There are many such examples, and it is also a kind of arbitrariness and irresponsibility of the emperor.

The ranking of the palace examination has too much impact on the candidate's life!

If you can get a first-class jinshi background, you can directly give an official position!

The second and third grades will be examined, so they will be given some positions as appropriate, and it can be said that the ranking of the imperial examination is the first ticket for this group of students to enter the officialdom, which is very important.

In the future, whether the students' careers are smooth or not, half or even more than half depends on whether you have a good start at the beginning of this imperial examination! (To be continued.) )
