Forbidden city

Bohol Temple

Before dawn, the sky was not yet bright, the crooked crescent moon was still hanging in the sky above the Forbidden City, and the faint starlight had not faded, and a large group of tributes were waiting for the palace to try. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The weather was slightly cool, and the rising white air slowly rose from the bodies of the Gongsheng.

The palace examination only examines policy questions, and candidates enter from dawn, and go through the rituals such as roll call, scattering papers, praising and worshipping, saluting, and then issuing policy questions.

There is no limit to the length of the essay, generally about 2000 words, the beginning and end and the middle of the writing have a certain format and word limit, especially emphasizing the writing, must be written in the right style, that is, the so-called "courtyard style", "pavilion body", the word to be square, light garden, jet black, large.

From a certain point of view, calligraphy is often more important than writing.

The palace examination is only one day, and the papers are handed in at dusk, and they are accepted by the officials, such as the rolls, the palm scrolls, and the seals.

The expressions of the three hundred elites of the Ming Dynasty outside the Baohe Hall were all excited, and the previous examination was completely two feelings, as long as the tributes were not stupid, they would not fall off the list, because the palace examination was to rearrange the ranking of the examination, just to select a better examination process, since the test was worse, you can also mix a ready-to-use Tongjinshi under the list, and give a seven-grade petty official a prestige, so the pressure on this group of candidates is not too great.

It didn't take long for the pale red sun to rise in the east, the sky was already bright, and the officials began to enter the palace, and the tributes watched the bachelor in python robe and jade belt pass by in front of them with a kind of envy and longing on the side.

After the officials entered the Baohe Palace, the tributes who had been waiting outside the Baohe Palace also followed.

The tributes who entered the Baohe Hall stood behind the officials left and right, and after the officials and the tributes stood still, the music also became loud, the chimes and bronze chimes, Huang Zhong Dalu, Xiao Sheng's reed flute, the music resounded throughout the palace, so that the faces of the officials and the tributes of the Baohe Hall also became solemn.

In this music, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao appeared on the main hall.

"The ministers knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live......"

Everyone bowed to this Emperor Zhu, and after the emperor's speech, it was followed by a rush, and the next procedure was to name names, scatter scrolls, praise and bow.

In the end, the emperor picked up the cutter, opened the test questions, and authorized Yang Tinghe, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, Yan Tinghe took the test paper and said loudly: "In the ninth year of Zhengde, the Jiawu Branch Palace Examination begins!" ”

Then Yang Tinghe handed over the test paper to the Minister of Rites.

After shouting long live, Emperor Zhengde withdrew, and the ministers who rushed to the façade also left the Baohe Palace, leaving only the first and auxiliary ministers of the cabinet Yang Tinghe and the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites, and eighteen invigilators of the palace examination.

The strategy question of the temple examination is the "three-essay format".

Lewen opened the test paper and saw the main argument: I only have three generations and go down, and the king of Shoucheng must be headed by Emperor Wen of Han. I taste it, I don't know how Emperor Wen cultivated and can get this, at the time, or give the people half of the land rent, or remove the effect of wealth, cover for this, but the method of tribute and help, although three generations are also often practiced, and the situation is in Hanhu.

Commentary: If the rent of the field is removed, the sacrifices of the temples at that time, the payment of hundreds of officials, and the conquest of the four yis are all unavoidable, and how can they be used. Yang Wei Huang Zhao Zhao made the district of Xia, did not surrender for more than 120 years, the teeth are multiplied and the territory is wide, not the previous generations, this year the county is registered in the household department, its number is preserved, it can be said that it is a concubine, recuperation, it is appropriate to be rich and teachable.

However, between the alleys and fields, I can't help but sigh of boredom, and there are many troubles due to the drought and the river, and the unemployed people who have migrated are safe, and they are rich.

The problem is that it is an exhortation, although it is earnest and reasonable, there is still little forgiveness, although the more frequent the offender is, the more he is in it, and he is also teachable. If the husband is not enough food and clothing, then the etiquette and righteousness are not prosperous, and the people are guilty of minor offenses, and the punishment is also bound to come, how will it be good, and those who rule the world in ancient times must have the art of being rich, and there must be a way to teach if they are rich. Special problems can not be held, I inherit the ancestors of the great industry, try to govern the Tao, every aspiration to the prosperity of the ancient emperor, not only Emperor Wen Er, all living beings come to the Tao, will be seen in the use of its wealth, teach the three successive ends, where the ancients of the effect, today's urgent affairs, carefully to Chen, I will personally see Yan.

Lewen looked at the questions of this palace exam, and couldn't even write for a while.

And look at the other tributes are also no one to put pen to paper, everyone knows the power of this test question, naturally to think carefully, in the heart of the draft, before the pen can be written.

Le Wen hesitated for a long time before he picked up the ink in the inkstone, dipped the pen in the ink and began to write.

Sprinkled with 2,000 words, Lewen wrote while thinking repeatedly, but also strive for a gorgeous font, and wrote it until the time came.

Looking at the other tributes, most of them are still bowing their heads and writing, the examination time of the palace examination is only one day, and the papers will be handed in at dusk, that is, in another hour, the papers will be handed in.

In fact, the palace test is also a passing formality, and the tributes who are used to the test will be re-opened.

Lewen has already won the first place in the Huiyuan in the examination, as long as there are no accidents, the top three in the palace examination must not have run, as long as this strategy makes the emperor and Yang Tinghe take a fancy to it, the champion is also in the bag.

What is the champion, that is the dream of every scholar in ancient times, and it only has a very special meaning.

Ten years of hard study, even a lifetime, the dream of this champion is not in the fate of most readers, a dynasty wants to get the champion of the number of readers, but really can get the title of the champion is so twenty or thirty, if this dynasty is too short, such as the five dynasties and ten kingdoms after the Tang Dynasty, it is really difficult for this dynasty to want to have several champions.

"Tom......"

When the time for the temple test was about to come, one of the tribute students fell on the ground of the main hall.

"Come on, isn't this tribute dead?"

Yang Tinghe saw that someone had fallen to the ground, so he hurriedly asked the two invigilators to come forward to check.

The invigilator put his finger on the snort of the Gongsheng, and when he saw that there was still breathing, he shouted, "...... It's okay, my lord, this man is still alive, but he fainted. ”

"Wake him up, the exam is almost over, let him lie here and become a system!" Yang Tinghe saw that this tribute student was fine, so he asked the invigilator to pinch and medicate this tribute student, so he woke him up.

This Gongsheng turned out to be too tired, and in broad daylight, he had been dreaming of champions in his head, and when he was excited, he fainted on the ground.

It turned out to be just a false alarm, and after the tribute students all handed in the test papers, the tribute students who dreamed of being the champion also handed in the test papers in a daze.

To the day of marking, 8 people are handed over to the reading officer, each person has a table, and they are circulated in turn, each with "○", "△", "\", "1", "×" five kinds of marks, and the one who gets the most "○" is a good volume, and then in all the volumes, select the most ten copies of the ten books to submit to the emperor, and the first, second and third places of the first and second and third are the champions, the eyes of the list, and the flowers, and the first three people are called "Jinshi and the first", also known as "the three tripods".

A number of people in the second class, accounting for one-third of the admitted, are called "Jinshi origin", and the first name of the second class is passed on. There are a number of top three, accounting for two-thirds of the admitted. Finally, the list is filled in by the list filling officer. The first three people were immediately conferred, and the champion was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing. Second, if the top three jinshi want to be appointed to the official, they must also go through the court examination in the Baohe Palace, and the results of the examination before and after the comprehensive selection of the best will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy as a Jishi. It is commonly known as "Dianhanlin".
