Chapter 50: The title of the gold list

The three-day spring festival is a torment for the candidates and for Lu Chengqi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but this is another form that has to be taken, the country must have rules, and this rule is to pass a series of imperial examinations.

For nearly 10,000 people, it is also difficult to mark the papers. In ancient times, the efficiency was not so high, Lu Chengqi appointed nearly 100 examiners to participate in the marking of the papers, and the form and method of the final results obtained by synthesizing the opinions of the three people, although it brought fairness, it also brought the difficulty of marking the papers, and hindered the release time. In addition, Lu Chengqi asked all the volumes to be copied again, and nearly 200 officials from the Ministry of Rites were mobilized, and a lot of time was wasted.

Although Feng Chengping is greedy for money and lustful, he is still very talented in learning, he found a strange article from thousands of Jinshi policy treatises, shocked by the heavens, and immediately said: "I look at this volume, but I can get the leader!" ”

More than ten days later, after the night battle of the sky lantern and the hard work of nearly 100 people, nearly 200 papers were finally picked out and sent to Lu Chengqi to try the provincial test yuan. If it is in the Ming Dynasty in the official history, the first provincial test should be called Huiyuan. The Dashun Dynasty corresponds to the Song Dynasty in history, and most of the names used conform to the naming method of the Song Dynasty.

At the front, it was Su Shi's "Treatise on Punishment and Loyalty", which Lu Chengqi, who had read this article, recognized it at a glance. After he quietly read all the volumes, he did not change the top three that the Ministry of Rites had pre-launched, after all, Lu Chengqi was not very proficient in ancient texts, so he should not mess with what he didn't understand. But what he cared about was whether Su Shi was the first, and he tried to ask Feng Chengping, who came to deliver the exam papers: "Feng Qing thinks which article deserves to be the first?" ”

Feng Chengping was stunned, he was afraid that this was Lu Chengqi testing whether he had received the money. The conscience of heaven and earth, although he Feng Chengping is greedy for money and lustful, but when it comes to his own life, how dare he accept money and deceive? He said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Meizhou should be the first to raise Su Shi." This article is fresh and free, thorough, rigorous in structure, concise and easy to understand, a change from the past superficial and difficult wind, in all fairness, it should be the first. But in the case of Yao and Gaotao in the text, the minister doesn't know the source, thinking that Su Ju is a great talent, and the minister can't do it. ”

Lu Chengqi smiled and did not speak. He had read this anecdote and knew that the example of Yao and Gaotao that Su Shi said in the article was fabricated to deceive the examiner. In fact, the real source is "The Book of Rites: King Wen's Son", which is the case of Zhou Gong, and Su Shi mistakenly recorded it as Yao when he took the exam.

Lu Chengqi didn't care, quoting scriptures and classics is really boring, if everything has an example, where is the innovation? Lu Chengqi, who was informal, immediately said: "Since all the secretaries are the first in this article, I can't change it indiscriminately. According to the judgment of Zhu Qing, the list will be released! "After that, cover the jade seal of the country, and let people go out to make a list.

And twenty days have passed since the start of the spring exam. The scholars who participated in the Spring Festival were a little impatient, in the past, the Spring Festival had been posted in less than ten days, but they didn't expect that after so long in this section, there was still no news. In addition, the Ministry of Rites is heavily guarded, and there are often inspectors and forbidden soldiers patrolling, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach, which adds to the mysterious atmosphere of this Spring Festival.

At this moment, Su Shi, who was drinking and relaxing in the guest building, was chatting with friends in the academy, and everyone was reluctant to mention this Spring Festival. After all, this Chunyu has created many firsts, such as the first time to use the name system, the first time to use a third person to copy, the first time three examiners to mark the paper together, and it still needs to be reviewed by the main examiner...... More importantly, arithmetic also entered the imperial examinations. What's inside is really a little confusing.

"Zizhan, I heard that you have recently composed a new lyric, can you sing it to help the wine?" A scholar who looked like a child smiled with a wine glass.

Su Shi also drank a lot at the moment, and the wine was a little upsurged, and when he was about to recite the poems, the golden gong on the street struck eighteen times in a row, and Su Shi was interrupted by this and was stunned. The same table raised the child and exclaimed: "The list is released!" Zizhan, look at the list, don't chant poems! ”

Only then did Su Shi understand what was happening, and took advantage of the wine to say: "Go together, go together!" After getting up and settling the bill, he was about to move forward, but a person rushed in, and he asked, "Which one is Master Su Shisu?" ”

Su Shi was a little drunk and said, "I am, this little brother, is there something wrong?" ”

The man said loudly: "Congratulations to Master Su Shi Su for the provincial test of the provincial yuan, and soon an official from the Ministry of Etiquette came, and the villain copied the path and came to report the news." ”

Su Shi couldn't turn the corner for a while, and it took a long time before he said, "I won the provincial yuan?" ”

With the same child, the guests in the welcome building all congratulated: "Congratulations, once the carp crossed the dragon gate!" ”

"Zizhan, we know that you are a literary hero in this world, and sure enough!"

……

Su Shi was so happy by this sudden surprise that he was confused, and gave the happy money to the little brother who came to report the news, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites rushed in with the holy decree, and the welcome building was silent for a while.

The official of the Ministry of Rites announced: "Constraints: Those who are named on the gold list, regardless of their ranking, will enter the palace to participate in the palace examination with the number after three days, and those who do not arrive will be disqualified." Please go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites and the Arrangement Office to pick it up. ”

After announcing the decree, the officials of the Ministry of Rites immediately left and went elsewhere to announce the decree. The owner of the welcome building is also clever, and immediately announced: "Provincial Yuanlang is free of charge in January in this store!" Everyone said hello again, Su Shi's wine had already been awakened by the excitement, and he replied: "Zizhan has today, thanks to your support!" Immediately, a lot of happy money was sent, and those who saw it had a share.

It is said that the poor are rich and martial, but in fact, it is not. If the family is not rich and wants to have a noble son, unless it is a genius, it is really difficult. Therefore, the average scholar family is very wealthy and does not lack money. If not, you won't be able to pay the money to invite Mr. Mengxue to study at a private school. The poor and rich martial arts are talking about modern things, that is, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China in the official history.

In the same Pingshan Academy, there are also high school students, and some people are not in high school. That night, both the mid and the unsuccessful enjoyed the night. At that time, there were still two days before the palace test, and it was still too late to prepare, after all, the palace test was only one day, which was not as good as the provincial test.

Su Shi was really "talking about juvenile madness", and after getting drunk all night, he was urged by the scholar to review again the next day. After all, the provincial test only determines that you have a good chance of becoming an official, but the palace test is to determine whether you are the champion or the leader, Tanhua, or the bottom. During the period of the first emperor, there was a precedent of being the first in the provincial examination and being deposed in the palace examination, even if Su Shi was so rich and rich, he could not ignore it.

The palace examination is written by the emperor, and the main test is current affairs. However, you can't be careless about Jingzhou, otherwise you will fall to the bottom of Jinshi B, and your face will not look good, after all, Su Shi is a provincial yuan! The pressure of being the first is now felt by Su Shi......
