Chapter 156: Liang Governor's Mansion
Of course, to be the chief examiner, the most coveted thing is that it is the chief examiner who will take the exam, and the protΓ©gΓ©s who come out are all Jinshi, not to mention the palace exam, the chief examiner is the king.
However, of course, the chief examiner of the examination is not so easy to be, and everyone is qualified, so it has to be a cabinet scholar, and he must be a minister.
The second-class is the chief examiner of the township examination, who comes out of the people, and it is also a network resource that cannot be underestimated.
Again, the first class is the chief examiner of the college examination, and those who come out are all talented, and they are also the backbone of the most extensive Shilin.
As for the county test and the government test, what comes out is a quasi-child, a child, which looks inconspicuous, but what you look at is the potential, and any jinshi also starts as a child, so this layer of relationship is also commendable.
Liang Minghan had just arrived in Qingling Mansion and took office, but he wanted to make some political achievements and leave a little clear name, and if he could be listed in the local famous eunuch temple, he would be even more satisfied.
And if you want to make a little political achievement, then this biennial government examination, the local talent selection ceremony, is a very good opportunity, if you can select some really top-notch talents, for him Liang Minghan, it is a huge political achievement.
pondering here in my heart, I couldn't help but think of a list handed to him by my master He on the eve of the house exam last night.
The list that Master He handed him is some "related households", which are all the children of some influential local wealthy families and scholarly families in this government examination, and each child has some brief introductions, whether they are descendants or side doors. According to their importance, they are also divided into star ratings.
I have to say that my Master He is still very conscientious. The list is very detailed, and it can be seen that it took a lot of work.
But. After seeing this list, he was quite resistant in his heart, so much disgusted, but he also knew that his master was very kind, since he was a local official, then these influential local families could still not be offended, and sometimes they could not be completely "clean officials".
Without the support of these local families. No matter how capable he Liang Minghan is, how can he manage this land of eight counties well? Besides, if he Liang Minghan wants to leave some clear names, or even be listed in the local famous eunuch shrines, he will not have the support of these local snakes.
Therefore, even though he was disgusted, he still took the list, glanced at it quickly, and had a bottom in his heart. Fortunately, there are not too many names on the list. Master He listed the children of the influential local families, and the children of those small families did not need to be listed.
He thought, anyway, there are a lot of places to be admitted to the government examination, and there are 250 people. It's a big deal to put these people at the back of the list, and it's more or less an explanation, of course. If it's really not good, then you can only say sorry. He, Liang Minghan, is still a principled person, and he will not do such a blatant favoritism. Otherwise, even if he can pass the customs here, he will not be able to pass the Temple of Literature.
Of course, if among these children, there are really talented and outstanding learners, then he will not hesitate to vigorously promote them and get a good-looking ranking, and everyone will be happy.
Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Liang Minghan took a sip of tea, raised his head, and looked at the candidates in the hall.
In his idleness, Liang Minghan glanced at a scribe next to him, knowing that the other party was the instructor of the government school, and he was born and a local person, so he immediately smiled slightly and asked: "Luo Xundao, I don't know if there are any outstanding and famous people in this government examination?"
Seeing that Lord Futai asked, Na Luo Xun hurriedly bowed, groaned, and replied: "Hui Taishou, if you talk about this government test, there are quite some outstanding people, such as the five heroes of Qingling, who are quite famous. β
When Liang Minghan heard this, he didn't think so, and asked again: "Oh, is there anything else?"
Luo Xundao was originally going to make a big deal of praise for this Qingling Five Heroes in front of the Futai Lord, he was a local, so he naturally wanted to speak for the local young talents, but seeing that Liang Minghan didn't seem to have much interest in the Qingling Five Heroes he said, he stopped talking, muttered for a while, and then said, "In addition, I heard that Qinghe Siying in Linshui County, and the third son of Zhang'an in Zhang'an County are also quite famous. β
Liang Minghan listened, but he was a little interested, this Luo Xun didn't speak enough to the local Qingling County candidates, and spoke for the candidates from other counties, so it means that these people should indeed be a little famous.
"Oh, just talk about this Qinghe Siying in Linshui County and listen to it. "Anyway, being idle is idle, Liang Minghan said with interest.
Luo Xundao said: "This Qinghe Siying in Linshui County are all schoolchildren of Qinghe Academy in Linshui County, these four people are famous in Qinghe Academy, and this county examination has entered the top ten of the county examination, and it is a good story for a while. β
"One of them is named Min Wei, but he won the county test, one is named Li Yuanchun, who won the third place in the county test, one is named Han Ziyun, who won the fourth place in the county test, and one is named Lu Wenpeng, who won the seventh place in the county test. β
Liang Minghan listened, hummed lightly, nodded, and already had the name of Qinghe Academy in his heart. The students who came out of a college accounted for four of the top ten in the county examination, and their rankings were very high, which really shows the strength of this academy.
"What are the outstanding works of these four sons?" he asked again.
Luo Xun said: "If you want to talk about good writings, the most famous is half of Lu Wenpeng's poems, which entered the last month's collection of good writings in Jiangzuo West Road. β
"Oh, half a poem?" Liang Minghan became even more interested when he heard this, a primary school child, with half a poem, he can enter the collection of good literature in Jiangzuo West Road, which is not simple.
Luo Xundao recited lightly: "The good wind relies on its strength to send me to the clouds." This is half of Lu Wenpeng's poem. β
Liang Minghan recited this poem silently in his heart, and couldn't help nodding again and again, and exclaimed, "Yes, a good wind with the strength to send me to the clouds, this sentence is quite like the atmosphere of the Qionglin banquet!"
It seems that among this group of schoolchildren, there are really outstanding talents. Liang Minghan unconsciously wrote down the name of this Lu Wenpeng in his heart.
Seeing that the other party was very interested, Luo Xundao said a few more words and said: "In fact, there is no shortage of talented and outstanding people in this Qinghe Academy, but the good and the bad are uneven, and there are also quite pedantic and stupid sour talents. β
"Oh, why do you say that. Liang Minghan asked.
Luo Xundao couldn't help but smile and said: "There is a crooked poem, which is also from the hands of the students of Qinghe Academy, some people say that this crooked poem is also a strange one, and it is enough to enter the collection of good literature, but unfortunately it is not really included." β
"What kind of crooked poem is it?" Liang Minghan asked casually.
"It's an east wind blowing, and I also heard it from the mouth of Lord Wang Xuan, the teacher of Linshui County, not long ago. β
At that moment, he didn't open his mouth to chant, but took the pen and paper, brushed and wrote down the east wind blowing and handed it to Liang Minghan to read.
Liang Minghan took a sip of tea, took it disapprerovantly, and saw the poems on the paper, and the tea in his mouth squirted out with a "poof-" sound.
The candidates in the hall were burying their heads in the answers, and when they heard a strange noise, they all raised their heads, and saw the chief examiner sitting in the hall, Lord Liang, the prefect, was full of purple at the moment, his expression was strange, and the muscles on his face twitched, I don't know whether to cry or laugh.
Liang Minghan worked very hard, so he didn't lose his honor in public, and finally relieved himself, waved his hand to the candidates in the hall and said: "Don't look around, just wait to answer the questions carefully." β
Only then did the candidates bow their heads again and start to make papers.
"Luo Xundao, you almost killed the old man. Lord Futai, who was almost ruined, glared at Luo Xundao next to him fiercely. Think about it, in such a very serious, national talent ceremony of the imperial examination room, he, the chief examiner, suddenly laughed on the spot, disturbing the candidates, not to mention, at least it is a frivolous and improper, without a dignified evaluation, his reputation will be ruined, if it reaches the mouth of the imperial history, maybe he will be impeached and lose his official position, he is afraid of this.
Luo Xundao was also innocent at the moment, bowed his head and kept silent, not daring to say anything more.
"This crooked poem is really crooked enough. Liang Minghan looked at the poems on the paper, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile a little.
Seeing that the other party didn't mean to be really angry, Luo Xundao had the courage to say softly: "Dare to let Lord Taishou know that the author of this crooked poem is also a student of Naqinghe Academy, and he also participated in the government examination this time. β
When Liang Minghan heard this, he was very surprised, and said, "What, this person actually participated in this government examination? Is this true?"
Luo Xundao nodded and said, "It's true. It was said by Lord Wang Xuan, the teacher of Linshui County. β
Liang Minghan muttered to himself: "Why is the county magistrate of Linshui County so confused, such a person also let his county try to be on the list? β
Luo Xun said: "The reason for this is quite tortuous, it should be because the Linshui County Sect Instructor Wang Xuan cherishes his reputation and feathers, and takes special care of him. β
"What is the reason for this, could it be that there is favoritism and malpractice among them!" Liang Minghan's face suddenly became stern.
Luo Xun said: "That's the case, just because this candidate offended the Sect King. β
At that moment, he briefly told someone who had made trouble about the lantern riddle meeting in the City God Temple.
After hearing this, Liang Minghan's face was still not good-looking, and he said: "This Wang Xuan is simply nonsense, how can he bring a schoolchild who should not be on the list because he cherishes his reputation and feathers, and is afraid that people will say that he will retaliate against a schoolboy? This is a foolish act of harming the public with private interests and being pedantic and sour!"
Luo Xundao lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.
Liang Minghan whispered a few words, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, just wait for this mansion to depose this person." (To be continued.) )
