Chapter 64: The Great Imperial Examination
After Qin Tian finally encouraged this group of strong men, he left the palace martial arts arena after having them arrange for them to go to the medicinal bath that had been prepared in batches to bathe. A few days later, the Yanlong Dynasty's annual national imperial examination was held as scheduled.
As early as half a month ago, the students and monks of the Mathematics Department said goodbye to the examination rooms at all levels under the expectant eyes of their relatives. The imperial examination is divided into three steps, the city examination, the county examination, and the final palace examination! In each examination room, Yanlong officials and generals in the army are invigilated for the examination.
In order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the imperial examination, Qin Tian ordered all the Tianwei to be dispatched to supervise the world! The imperial examination is the policy of the country, and fairness and justice are the basic principles, and there is no room for mistakes. At all times, talent is the cornerstone of a party's power. Although there are countless Chinese talents who can be recruited by Qin Tian, there are also many local talents waiting for Qin Tian to excavate, and middle-level civil officials and military generals also need a large number of talents to fill them. Qin Tian will not dislike the fact that he has many talents under his command!
The city test lasts for five days, the county test lasts for five days, and the temple test lasts for two days, for a total of 12 days. For this imperial examination, Qin Tian prepared for three months. On the first day of January in the Yanlong calendar, the last day of the imperial examination, the palace examination room. Five hundred literary candidates sat quietly three feet apart, and five hundred desks were neatly arranged, and the four treasures of the upper room were displayed. On the other side, five hundred monks stood upright, blazing.
Qin Tian sat on the dragon chair in the main seat of the examination room, his face was indifferent, his eyes were dignified, he looked at the thousand candidates in front of him, and the civil and military officials behind him stood solemnly. These 1,000 people are the literati and monks who have passed the city and county examinations among the hundreds of thousands of candidates in the past 10 days!
Let's start! Qin Tian opened his mouth lightly and ordered! Yes! Xiao He and Gao Shun came out of the ranks. Subsequently, Xiao He walked towards the five hundred literary candidates, and Gao Shun walked towards the five hundred martial arts candidates. Wen Sheng, the exam question of the palace examination: On governing the world! Xiao He spoke solemnly, wearing a lilac official uniform, showing his majesty. He held a pen, with a serious face on a huge wooden board behind him, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, and wrote the three big characters of "ruling the world"!
Suddenly, the spirit of literature and Taoism rushed into the sky! Above the void, a vision slowly manifested, the world was under great rule, the people lived in peace, everyone was smiling, the people were prosperous, the commerce was developed, the food was sufficient, and a scene of eternal peace made people addicted!
The five hundred candidates all looked at Xiao He with respect. Three words, a vision! In such a realm, they are ashamed of themselves. Among the 500 candidates, those who knew the mysteries of Wendao were all bright-eyed and excited, and this big test was the best opportunity for them to get in touch with the real Wendao!
In today's Yanlong Dynasty, the inheritance of literature and Taoism has not yet been fully popularized, and many literati are eager to do it, but it is difficult to get in touch with it!
Five hundred literary candidates hurriedly gathered their minds and began to discuss, rule the world!
On the other side, Gao Shun ordered to take 500 sand tables, and immediately the Praetorian Guard soldiers brought the 500 sand tables that had been prepared. On every sand table, a big battle has been halfway through. Gao Shun turned around, wrote down the six big characters of "Sand Table Simulation Drill" on the huge wooden board behind him, and said loudly: "Palace exam questions, control the red side, do your best to defeat the red side, and count the results with the maximum number of kills and the minimum number of casualties!"
Gao Shun waved his hand, and suddenly, the 500 sand tables seemed to be resurrected, and the evil qi instantly soared to the sky! Kill! When they meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Suddenly, a shocking cry sounded in the ears of the 500 martial arts candidates, shocking people's hearts, and an endless murderous aura rushed out, leaving one candidate alone! Five hours later, the palace examination was over! Please make a decision! Xiao He and Gao Shun walked up to Qin Tian and said! Very good, the candidates for this imperial examination will be arranged by the two of you.
Qin Tian commanded lightly, and then swept his gaze to the thousand candidates. Among these thousand people, there are no amazing talents, not to mention that Xiao He is on a par with Huo Quzhi and others, and even compared to the first-class talents in China. Upon learning of this result, Qin Tian was immediately a little disappointed. However, as a middle-level and even low-level official and military general of the Yanlong Dynasty, there is no problem.
Xiao He and Gao Shun replied in unison! Then Xiao He and Gao Shun took down the thousands of candidates and arranged for them to go. Some of the candidates for the literary examination will be sent to the county towns of Yanlong by the officials to serve as county officials, chief bookkeepers and other civil servants, and some will be left for the expansion of the territory in the future to supplement the officials in time.
Candidates for the military examination are generally the same as candidates for the literary examination, and they are sent by the military department, and some are sent to various counties, and they are appointed as county lieutenants and are in charge of the military affairs of a county. The other part is assigned to the four main battle armies and serves as low-level generals. At this point, the first imperial examination of the Yanlong Dynasty came to an end.
Xiao He, tell the world that the imperial examination is held once a year! I hope that the people and monks in the world will encourage them together! Before Xiao He left, Qin Tianxia said! After Xiao He and the others left, Qin Tian said to Confucius: "Teacher, I hope that you will form a team of education committees to supervise the construction of the infrastructure of schools at all levels and the construction of the tutor team in the fifteen counties of Yanlong, so as to speed up the pace of educating the people and cultivating talents, and thoroughly implement the national policy of rejuvenating the country through education!"
Qin Tian looked at Confucius and solemnly ordered, "Minister, obey the order!" Confucius came out and saluted! Then, Qin Tian took Mu Guiying back to the palace and went happily. presided over the two-day palace examination, and he was about to fall apart!
