Chapter 741: The Wave Triggered by the Imperial Examination of the State of Wu
In the sixth year of the Warring States Period, the two hegemons of Wu and Wei ceased to fight, and the east was safe, but in the western part of the Central Plains, it was hot.
June was like a fire, the war in the west was fierce, and the western region of Bingzhou, Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Xishu, and the entire western region of the Central Plains, whether it was open or secret, was a beacon of fire.
Wei and Wu were eyeing each other, and Huang Zhong and Cao Hong were already in front of the formation, waiting to carve up and annex the state.
Guanzhong, the battles of Liangguo and Jin were tragic, Chang'an City.
In Hanzhong, Cao Ren has already started a battle, and Lu Bu, who is stationed beside him, is also ready to move.
In Shu, Liu Zhang didn't listen to the things outside the window, and entertained himself in the deep palace, but Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were plotting Chengdu, and the Jinyi guard behind Huang Que was also eyeing him.
The situation in the west has changed drastically, but for Wu State, it is not too tense, and Jinling City, the capital of Wu State, is still noisy and lively.
The annual Keju Tournament has begun, and it is one of the busiest times in Jinling Castle.
Wu attaches great importance to the sport of Keju, and since the first Keju began, the royal family participated in the war, and the world held together, and it has never stopped.
It is held once a year, and even when Sun Quan first ascended the throne, Wu was obviously still in dire straits, and he did not stop holding it.
This is a hot spot in Wu today, and it is also a prosperous season in Jinling City.
However, this year's Keju competition was held somewhat inferiorly, and the event that originally gathered the attention of the whole country was overshadowed by the limelight of the upcoming imperial examination.
Since the Department of Education spread the news of the imperial examination in the world, the whole country of Wu has been in turmoil.
Scholars have always been the mainstream class in today's era, and even if Wu Guo has obviously reformed a lot of things now, it can't change the facts.
The official selection system, which has been maintained for hundreds of years, is actually unfair to many scholars. There are many talented people who are not recommended and who do nothing all their lives.
There are so many people who read books in the world, and I am afraid that there is definitely more than one Zhuge Kongming who is almost demonic.
However, Zhuge Kongming was very lucky, he had people to visit the thatched house and invite him out of the mountain.
But if there is no Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched house. Should he, a wise and almost demonic schemer, die of old age in the mountains and forests?
Not all Maximas can meet Bole.
Therefore, as soon as the news of the imperial examination in the court of Wu State was announced, the entire scholars of Wu State began to get excited, grinding their fists and clapping their palms one by one, full of interest, and screaming.
With the news of the imperial examination being circulated through the official newspaper, conveyed layer by layer, and the hype of newspapers such as Jiangdong Daily, Wu Guo has been boiling.
Sun Quan proposed that the imperial examination system was actually a transitional period, in which the township examination and the meeting examination were replaced by the promotion of filial piety and honesty. Finally, the top talents were selected and the palace examination was held with Jinling City.
Of course, in addition to the recommendation system, he also made a holy decree in Jinling City later, as long as students who are willing to participate in the imperial examination, even if no one is willing to recommend, they can sign up before August.
In August, there will be an independent preliminary examination for these applicants, after which the initial examination will be held. Those with outstanding grades will take the big test together with those who have been recommended from all over the world in September.
This is the real imperial examination this year.
"Imperial Imperial Examination. It is a great opportunity for poor scholars, we have been waiting for ten years of cold windows, and we will become famous in one fell swoop! β
"Cai Xijiu personally presided over the imperial examination, it must be fair and just, and I should show my strengths!"
"There are many disciples under the teacher, and there is definitely no recommended place. When you go to the capital, how can you miss the imperial examination! β
"This is an opportunity to compete with the world's readers, I should participate!"
ββ¦β¦β
Many people who have been reading all their lives are moved, and many people rush to the capital. Take the preliminary exam.
Reading is for the sake of entering the world, who does not want to dominate the world, who does not want to become famous in one fell swoop, and who does not want to enter the court as an official and live in a temple.
Therefore, the enthusiastic people almost exceeded the expectations of the court.
I'm afraid that even Sun Quan, Cai Yong and others would never have imagined that it would be such a wave, and the imperial examination policy would resonate with so many scholars, and it would also cause a sigh in the court.
After Sun Quan received the news, he felt that it seemed that he had thought a little too much before, and now this trend, not to mention a few respected Confucians to oppose it, even if all the Confucians oppose it, I am afraid they will not be able to stop the trend of this imperial examination.
The imperial examination not only caused restlessness among the people, but also aroused the minds of many people in the court.
In the hearts of the readers, this is an opportunity to get ahead, but in the eyes of the forces under the court, this is a contest, a contest of talents.
Especially now, several major academies in Wu are full of energy, and they want their students to perform well in the imperial examination.
ββββββββββββββ
Lumen Mountain Academy.
Sacrificial wine Sima Wei and Pang Degong summoned the most outstanding students of the academy at present.
"Gongyan, Wu Guo's imperial examination this time is very important, who can take the lead, and can fly to the sky casually, you can have confidence!" Sima asked in a deep voice.
Lumenshan Academy has produced many talents, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Shi Tao, Meng Jian...... They are all talents, but for Wu Guo, the weight of Jiangdong Academy and Jinling Academy is always a little higher than them.
Now Jingzhou is the world of Wu State, and Lumen Mountain Academy is also under this roof, if you can't achieve results in Wu State, you will inevitably lose your honor, and even let the two academies compare.
Confucianism is not desireless, not good for interests, but fame cannot be lost, there is no first in literature, no second in martial arts, let Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong and others press their heads, Sima Wei Pang Degong is naturally unwilling.
"Tell the sake of the priest, the students should go all out!"
The young Jiang Wan, only seventeen years old, dressed in green clothes, wearing a scarf, stood in front of the two major sacrificial wines with a straight body, his eyes were resolute and hot, and his expression was confident and awe-inspiring.
After Shi Tao and the others left Lumen Mountain, he was the most outstanding student in Lumen Mountain today.
β¦β¦
Jinling Academy.
As a large academy at the foot of the emperor of Wu Guo, it is also the largest academy in Wu Guo today, and the academy with the most subjects, the sacrificial wine of the academy is Zheng Xuan, but Zheng Xuan has been in a state of semi-retirement, and most of the affairs of the academy have been handed over to his protΓ©gΓ© Cheng Bing.
Cheng Bing is Runan. In his early years, he studied with Zheng Xuan, and later in the war, he was exiled in Jiaozhou, and the most was Shixie, who returned to Jiangdong after Shixie surrendered to Jiangdong. Spend your days at Koto Academy.
Zheng Xuan established Jinling Academy, he followed his teacher, did his best, managed the academy, and had a little experience.
Sacrificial wine study.
Cheng Bing held the imperial examination regulations promulgated by the court in his hand, his eyes were deep, and he raised his head after half a ring, looked at his teacher Zheng Xuan, and said in a low voice: "Teacher." In this imperial examination held by the king, we have to show it well. β
"You want to win the championship?"
Zheng Xuan squinted slightly.
"Ji Changzu can take the lead!" Cheng Bing's eyes were bright, he nodded, and said proudly.
"Maleonn?"
Zheng Xuan gently stroked the white hair under his chin, and said lightly: "This son is fifteen years old, but he is a good talent who can be cultivated, but he can pull out seedlings to help grow!" β
"Teacher, the current academy. There are a lot of talents, but they can compete with the world's scholars. It has to be him! β
Cheng Bing has begun to take over the academy, compared to Zheng Xuan, he is much more energetic, and his competitiveness is also more, and he wholeheartedly wants to develop the academy beyond the influence of Jiangdong Academy, this time the imperial examination. It's an opportunity.
Ma Liang, a native of Jingzhou, had already come east to Jinling at the age of twelve before Jingzhou was taken. Entered Jinling Academy.
"Okay, you let Ji Chang come to serve for a certain period of time, this son is talented, but he is too rebellious, the old man should suppress his heart, otherwise how to face the son of the world!"
Zheng Xuan groaned for a while and nodded, over the years, there have been many talents in Jinling Academy, but there are few leaders, and it is indeed necessary to establish some leaders.
Jiangdong Academy has a great influence in the Wu Dynasty because Jiangdong Academy has the leading troika, Lu Xun, Buqi, and Sumen.
"Thank you, teacher!" Cheng Bing looked overjoyed when he heard this.
β¦β¦
Koto Academy.
After Cai Yong left the academy, the new sacrificial wine was Sheng Xian, and the transition period between the two sacrificial wines was not difficult, after all, the first sacrificial wine of Jiangdong Academy was Sheng Xian.
At that time, Jiangdong Academy was first established by Sheng Xian, and later Cai Yong came, and Sheng Xian willingly gave up the position of sacrificial wine.
Now that it is reset, it is natural to take it for granted.
Sheng Xian faced Wu Guo's imperial examination, and naturally he would not let go of this plan, but what he summoned was not a student in the ranks, but a young man who had already graduated from Jiangdong Academy and stayed in the academy as a teacher.
Yan Zhen, the word mancai.
He used to be the second outstanding student of Jiangdong Academy, and he was admiring the fame of Buqi Sumen and others, but now Buqi and others have stepped into the court and risen step by step, but he has been obscure, and finally chose to stay in Jiangdong Academy and be a teacher.
"Mancai, the reputation of Jiangdong Academy cannot be lost!" Sheng Xian looked at this calm young man and said in a deep voice: "This time, you need to win the championship!" β
"Sacrificial wine, I understand!"
Yan Jian is only in his early twenties, he has been in the academy for five years, he is not a person with little fame and fortune, but he has always felt that he is not as good as a few people before.
The personality is a bit of a late bloomer.,Seems steady and not impatient.,So I've been enriching myself in the academy.γ
He watched Buqi Sumen and others rise step by step, and his heart was a little low, but he was rebellious, one step behind, and he was unwilling to recommend him.
Now that the opportunity has come, he naturally wants to seize it.
β¦β¦
Jiaozhou Academy.
β¦β¦
Liaodong Academy.
β¦β¦
The academies of Wu began to boil, and all the arrogant students were preparing for this imperial examination.
Not only the academy, but also the family gate valve patented by the former scholars has also begun to be a little unlucky.
The Jiangdong family and the Jingzhou family naturally have to exert their residual heat, as the leader of the family, the Kuai family, the Gu family, and the Lu family...... Naturally, they will not let go of this opportunity for the family to make a name for themselves.
Before the imperial examination began, it had already triggered one wave after another in the state of Wu. (To be continued......)
