Chapter 122: The Temple Examination
The palace examination is actually a form of confirmation of the examination and the fulfillment of the Son of Heaven. The result is to divide the Chinese-style lifters into the third class of Jinshi and determine the ranking of the first and third places. The human factor during this period is quite large.
The first class of Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty, especially the champions, most of them can be called scholars, and most of them are famous ministers and ministers.
On the day of the palace examination, the tributes entered the Fengtian Hall after being inspected by the soldiers, and the examination room was within two rooms.
The palace examination is the last stop of the imperial examination, and it is also the most confident assessment for candidates.
Because of this, the candidates generally do not cheat, and the soldiers in charge of testing are also very casual.
Unlike the previous exams, the palace examination is generally only one question for the strategy, and the examination time is only two hours.
Candidates do not have to bring dry food, water, or other household items, and they do not even need to bring any test supplies.
Candidates come alone, naturally it is impossible to bring cheating tools!
The emperor was a strategist and held a grand opening ceremony. The civil and military officials stood inside and outside as usual, the emperor ascended to the palace, the firecrackers rang out, the deacons put the questions on the case, and the tributes performed five bows and three salutes to the case, and then, the hundred officials withdrew in turn, and the tributes were in place for the examination.
Since the emperor personally presided over the examination, there were no chief and deputy examiners, only paper readers and deacons.
The only people who can make rounds in the examination room are the emperor and the watchman.
Led by a full-time soldier, Li Ling finally arrived at his own examination table, and after checking that the information was correct, the soldier retreated.
There are not only test papers and answer sheets, but also pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and drafts on the examination table.
After everyone sat down, they began to flip through the test papers, and the expressions on their faces were different, some were happy, some were depressed. Life is full of all kinds of things at this moment.
Li Ling also opened the test paper and found that it was a policy related to the admission officials:
I am afraid of the ancient famous things, people tend to know things to the past, the day is endless, the year is endless, although in the sleep and food, I have not forgotten the reason.
It is the great assistant king, and the blessing is Li Shu. That's why the world's best is also. Since I ascended the throne, the officials have followed the ancient system, imitated the old chapters, diligently sought talents, and used the numbers inappropriately. Those who are capable are entrusted with their hearts, or they have different aspirations; Those who are virtuous are given the throne, or they have nothing to say; Corporal Sinoma is incorruptible and shameless, and cannot deny himself.
If there is no end to this, there is no cure. When the scribes entered the autumn of study, they inherited their lives, learned their strength, established themselves and made a name for themselves, and began to raise their lives. Its article is presented.
The imperial court was most concerned about recruiting officials with both ability and integrity.
This issue was prominently raised in the policy, and the shortcomings of the previous election of officials were clearly emphasized: that is, there were people with strong ability who were not at the same level as the imperial court; People with good moral character have no achievements in their work; People with average ability and moral character are more "incorruptible and shameless, and unable to deny themselves".
Let the tributes focus on this theme, answer the response theoretically, and put forward suggestions and countermeasures on the existing practical problems.
This kind of policy is already a cliché, in fact, such a proposition occasionally appears in the historical and even township examinations. Almost all candidates have done similar propositions before, and everyone has worked the text decoration, as for whether they can enter the eyes of the emperor, it depends on whether their views are in line with the minds of the examiners.
Emperors generally like to appoint virtuous people, and all candidates do is to list specific methods for identifying talents, and help the imperial court elect truly virtuous people.
Li Ling, as a traverser, after all, has hundreds of years of "foresight" than other candidates, as the saying goes, he has never eaten pork and seen a pig run.
He had heard of the various election methods and the pros and cons of them.
But Li Ling did not immediately start writing to answer, but first typed a draft, listed his views one by one, and thought about this time several times in his heart.
The purpose is to do it in one go and keep the roll neat and tidy.
Everyone was full of hope for the palace examination, but they didn't expect the emperor to come up with a common question, some candidates shook their heads and sighed, while others were happy on their faces.
Many test takers start answering questions with unusual speed as soon as they see that they are good at them.
It's just that if you are in a hurry to do things, there will inevitably be a mistake, and there will be an accident when a candidate is excited to answer the paper.
"Oops, one more ink spot!". One of the test takers suddenly shouted, his voice more than a few decibels higher than usual.
He was writing too fast and accidentally had an extra ink dot behind him.
There were no punctuation marks in the Ming Dynasty, and there were such conspicuous ink spots on the entire volume, and the reader might not read it at all, and it was very likely that he would directly throw the list into the top three.
The emperor may not be able to see this scroll at all. As soon as the exam began, he lost at the starting line.
The experience of this benevolent brother has given everyone a great enlightenment, the palace test is the emperor's personal policy, and there is no problem of dethronement, so the countermeasures are relatively relaxed compared with the township test and the meeting test, the atmosphere is milder, and everything can be accommodated.
However, if there is an out-of-the-ordinary move, it will still affect the ranking of the exam, and the result of this exam will directly affect the future of the candidate's life.
Candidates have to pay attention.
The crowd learned from this and began to be careful when answering the questions.
The candidates answered the questions wholeheartedly, and the examination room immediately fell silent.
More than a dozen surveillance officers kept coming and going in the examination room, and they could see the movements of everyone in the main hall clearly, and all the three hundred or so people were in their field of vision.
It is very difficult to cheat during the temple exam, and everyone knows this.
The attention of the surveillance officer is on the candidate's paper, and when he encounters a candidate who meets his appetite, the surveillance officer will always stop to observe and secretly comment on the person's answer sheet.
Although these people are not qualified to participate in the marking of the papers, they still have them, and the candidates can generally tell the quality of their answers from the faces of the surveillance officers.
There were seven monitors who had read Li Ling's scrolls, and the reason why so many people stopped was probably because he was Huiyuan.
Lianzhong Sanyuan is the highest honor for all scholars, and the imperial court also attaches great importance to it, often regarding Dayuan as a kind of auspicious omen.
Li Ling has already won two yuan in a row, and the emperor is likely to push the boat along the river and let Li Ling be the champion.
The Surveillance Officer also wanted to see if his article was really worthy of the title of champion.
After reading it, several surveillance officers stopped by his side with a smile and left after a long time.
Li Ling knew that his answer sheet must not be bad, even if he was not the champion, he was among the first.
The candidates sighed in their hearts, it seems that the champion of this subject is none other than Huiyuan Gong.
As soon as the hour came, the candidates left the examination room one after another, and everything they had to do had already been done, they just had to wait for the emperor's ruling.
As soon as Li Ling left the palace, an old man in white stopped him: "This scholar, I see that you are a blessed person with a full heavenly court, do you want to win the champion, my old man is a royal family, do you want me to dredge it up for you?" ”。
"Haha, old guy, you really have eyesight, you chose Li Huiyuan at a glance, you can be the champion if you don't dredge Li Huiyuan for him, or you can dredge it for me and let me be the champion!"
Before Li Ling could speak, countless candidates came over to laugh at this old man!
