Chapter 426: The Palace Test
On October 30 of the first year of Han Xingshun and the first year of Chu, the imperial examination of Chu was held in Jinling.
For this reason, the Ministry of Rites specially requisitioned Jinling University, which was under construction "outside the city", and first arranged the part that had been built as an examination room......
After all, it is the first imperial examination, although the really famous bigwigs still take the route of the inspection, and most of the participants are young people with unknown reputations, but those who dare to come also have some foundation and ambitions, besides...... Because I didn't understand it, I couldn't make a cheat sheet, so I didn't find any cheating.
Of course, although the white picture has made the Ministry of Rites remember it carefully, it is far from being like the imperial examination in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, and there are links such as body searches.
In the Ministry of Rites...... No, in the eyes of almost everyone at this time, they will not be so shameless people, let alone "humiliate" these literati who have read books because of such a small possibility.
More anti-cheating is in the prevention of substitute exams!
There is no specific objection to this.
This is indeed the truth - before you are really caught cheating, you have to search your body in the first imperial examination? put it on Bai Tu, and I also feel that this is humiliating myself!
There's no need to be in a hurry, wait until you catch the first one with a cheat sheet, and then focus on propaganda and criticism, and then gradually become stricter.
When the time comes, the students will scold, and they will also scold those who are shameless......
Before going to the examination room, a team of thousands of candidates first listened to the sensational speech and encouragement of the King of Chu at the Dianjiangtai, and then went to the "Protector Ancestral Hall" to worship the martyrs, and then went to Jinling University.
Because the level of "county" should be gradually banned, the name of "county school" should also be de-countyized, and Bai Tu is directly called "university" - and the prose of "Xiao Dai Li Ji" and the "university" that is now subordinate to the "Book of Rites" is the same name, but it is not for this reason, Bai Tu is talking about "big" school.
When tossing into Jinling University, it is already afternoon, the examination room arranged by the Ministry of Rites is a small seat with a screen interval, after the examination, candidates can be in Jinling University activities, meals, and arrange sleeping, three days of examination time, not allowed to leave Jinling University without authorization.
Looking at the Ministry of Rites of Chu State, which organized thousands of people to "drive" into Jinling University, the envoys who watched the ceremony were either silent, or gasped, contributing to climate warming......
Thousands of "literati" who have undergone preliminary screening, how much mobilization power is this?
If the owner wants to imitate, not to mention other resistance, this prestige alone is far less than - appeal is undoubtedly one of the direct manifestations of prestige.
And some people have begun to pay attention to the township and county schools in Chu State......
In the future, I am afraid that it will not only be a difference in appeal, but in less than ten years, there will be an essential gap in the base!
"Are you going to Jinling University with this king? If you go in, you won't be able to come out until three days later. Bai Tu specifically emphasized the question to the envoys of all parties.
Actually, it doesn't make much practical sense.
Bai Tu is just to set an example and weaken the dissatisfaction that candidates may breed - entry and exit are prohibited during the imperial examination, and this king is no exception!
Of course, if there is an emergency, then two things to say......
After all, the current "candidates" are not as "worthless" as the showmen in the Ming and Qing imperial examinations!
First, it is true that there are many fewer "literati" now than in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and secondly, they have not been domesticated by the imperial examination.
The top priority of Bai Tu and the Ministry of Rites is not the problem of cheating, but the fear of someone scolding and scolding the boycott.
So in general, the standard of food, clothing, housing and transportation is still very high, and the white picture will also eat and live with the candidates on the surface!
If the candidates were given the kind of examination environment in the Ming and Qing dynasties at this time, it would be unimaginable at all......
It is estimated that more than half of the exam will have to be dismissed that day, and after returning home, you will have to scold Kong Rong, Guan Ning, and Hua Xin everywhere - although Guan Ning and Hua Xin are not in Jinling at all, who made you from the Ministry of Rites?
What the? Scolding the white picture?
That should not dare, at most it is to hide at home and scold, otherwise the common people who use the essence of Shennong and Bai Gongli will spontaneously destroy the results of the criminal department's legal popularization education - as we all know, it is also illegal to pour feces in front of people's doors!
Bai Tu's personal observance of the rules is undoubtedly the best authoritative bonus to this rule......
This is the first temple test, and I don't need to accompany it every time in the future.
As for the others...... Bai Tu is no exception, Jian Yong, Liu Ye and others naturally dare not make an exception, and they really want to go in and have a look!
Those who "stubbornly wished" entered with Bai Tu.
Of course, they didn't go to the examination room to answer the questions, but came in to visit, there is nothing to keep secret in this regard, and they can't keep it secret, so it's better to be more generous, and the white picture even makes an active promotion.
In this way, if the princes of other parties also "take the imperial examination" or have any similar actions, the people who finally pass this will also share some thanks to the Chu State, and they will make a profit without loss!
Looking at the fairly orderly examination process, this is undoubtedly promoting the soft power of the Chu State, and details such as the blurred name and the transcription of Cheng Ji have also been secretly written down by Jian Yong, Liu Ye and other well-intentioned people.
In the end, Jian Yongxian couldn't hold his breath and asked: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I don't know the test papers of your country's imperial examination, can you borrow a foreign minister to take a look?" ”
"It's okay, but you can't pass it on until you finish the exam." Bai Tu is not worried that someone will ask them to cheat.
This roll of paper is indeed not easy to come out, and it is even more difficult to come out than after the rules of the imperial examination in later generations were clarified!
After all, this first imperial examination is for all literati students, and their learning is certainly influenced by the mainstream, mainly Confucianism, but since most of them are from the scholar family, there may be some other aspects of family learning, and some poor families may have hidden the solitary book of the pre-Qin Dynasty......
Not to mention the key points, there are no textbooks!
However, there is also a method of white map, and this time there are a total of seven subjects in the imperial examination - six departments and the Privy Council prepare their own examination papers.
Mainly multiple-choice questions and open-ended questions, because there is no designated official school textbook, so there is no fill in the blank - the township school directly learns the Mongolian textbook of Baitu, but you can't always test the three-character scripture in the palace exam, right?
Simply each department has separate questions, and there is no weight difference between the six papers and the Privy Council, and the final score is not ......
Among them, the basic part of the test paper of the Ministry of Rites is biased towards values, and the extended part is the interpretation of various scriptures and meanings of various families; The basic part of the test paper of the Criminal Department is based on the selection of "Chu Law", and the extended part is the conviction of strange cases and the logical reasoning of simulated cases......
There is a minimum score for the foundation section!
The other four ministries and the Privy Council have no basic part, and there is no lower limit, and it doesn't matter if a certain section is handed over a blank paper, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is a simulated project, the household department is a simulated account, the Ministry of Officials is a simulated acceptance project, a simulated check account, and the Privy Council naturally examines military strategy, and the Ministry of Industry ...... Well, there are few people in the Ministry of Industry who can understand it.
As long as the basic part of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs reaches the minimum score limit, and the other departments are marked separately, they can be selected by one of them, even if they are passed.
The test papers are also multiple-choice and subjective questions as much as possible, although there is no officially designated scriptures, but which works you have read, you can cite and show your erudition......
I've also seen the white pictures of these test papers, if you are also a candidate this time, and you can't use a portable hard drive...... Bai Tu estimates that with his experience of watching more than 1,000 episodes of Conan, he still has a chance to be admitted to the Ministry of Officials!
