Chapter 196: Exam Questions
"I will let Liaodong Town allocate 1,000 musketeers and 2,000 war horses, and then converge with Dongchang Fanzi to go out of the customs together, this way through the steppe, through the Muscovy, in order to reach this strait, there will inevitably be battles along the way, so this Dongchang Fanzi must be elite, you need to plunder to survive!"
"The slave has written it down." Ren Xing's expression was solemn, the master explained so seriously, it can be seen how much he attaches importance to these crops, then he will complete the task to the letter, and he will never let the master down for the second time like Tailing!
"Let's all go down, I want to be quiet." Zhu Houwei waved his hand, Yan Tianyuan and Ren Xing didn't dare to stay, and bowed down one after another.
"It's a ...... ceremony," Zhu Houwei picked up the pen and wrote the names of Liang Chu and Jiang Mian on the paper in front of him.
Lifu is also known as the spring examination, the examination is generally once every three years, and the last examination was last year, that is, the sixth year of Zhengde just took the exam.
In addition to the triennial examination, there is a special case, which is Enko.
Enke will rarely have it, but the second year after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, that is, the first year of the new emperor's era, will generally open Enke, Zhu Houwei succeeded to the throne in the seventh year of Zhengde, and this year is the first year of Jiajing, so Kaienke is the most normal.
Zhu Houwei wrote down two names, which are the proposed candidates for the two examiners.
Liang Chu is a veteran, Jiang Mian is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and there is no problem in letting the two of them become the examiners of the examination.
The examination is generally held on the ninth day of February, and the examiner and the examiner are announced on the eighth day of February, and the selected officials bring food directly into the examination room, and the candidates take the examination for nine days, and they can also appear after each submission to wait for the second examination, but the examiner cannot, because they have to mark the papers, and before the end of the marking, all the examiners live almost an ascetic life for the fairness of the imperial examination and the elimination of fraud.
It's very hard, but everyone wants to become an examiner, because being an examiner means that this time the Jinshi in the examination will become their protégé, in the officialdom, fellow villagers, and protégés in the same year represent extremely stable contacts!
The new science and technology jinshi wants to get the support of the master, so as to rise to the top in the officialdom, and the master himself may not have much opportunity to use the protégé, but they also have relatives and children to take the road of official careers, and they also need to take care of it when they enter the officialdom in the future, which weaves a tight network of relationships, and in this network is a community of interests.
Zhu Houwei doesn't like Confucianism, because in his eyes, what Confucian scholars like most is empty talk and not doing their jobs, and they are very easy to be corrupted......
But there is no way, Zhu Houwei needs Confucian officials to govern the world for him, not to mention that the problem of corruption should not be completely blamed by Confucianism, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of system and supervision, and even if the system is perfect and the supervision is qualified, it is impossible to completely eliminate it.
In Zhu Houwei's view, the biggest problem of Confucianism is ability, which is the drawbacks of reading hard and only reading the books of sages.
This is the problem of the eight-share system, Zhu Houwei doesn't like the eight-share system, but at present, the imperial examination system is undoubtedly the most reasonable and fair system, and it is also the greatest hope for countless poor children to turn over.
Zhu Houwei wants to change, unless he has a more reasonable and fair system, it will inevitably cause strong resistance from all over the world.
During the Taizu period, there was a north-south list, the root of which was Taizu's compromise with Shilin, even the eloquent Hongwu Emperor had to compromise in the face of the surging Shilin resistance, Zhu Houwei didn't feel that he was better than Emperor Taizu.
Chunqiu, the first test of the four books, that is, from the four books, is now the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not as perverted as the question in the Qing Dynasty.
The reason why it is perverted is completely because there are no exam questions......
So the exam questions began to be pieced together, such as extracting a passage from "The Mean": "Hardship is adversity, and the gentleman is not complacent." If you don't go down to the top, you don't help in the lower position, and you don't want to ask for others, then you have no complaints. The top does not complain about the sky, and the bottom does not complain about people. Therefore, the gentleman is easy to live. ’
But this passage has already been tested, and even the sentences have been tested, so what should I do? Easy to do?
Then find a sentence from the Analects and splice one of the above sentences to test!
For example, the sentence "those who can be with it, and those who cannot reject it" in the "Analects" are taken out and connected with a sentence in "The Mean", so there is such an examination question.
Hardships are hardships, and gentlemen are not satisfied without entering. Those who can do it will be with, and those who can't reject it.
Of course, those who are familiar with the four books know that the first sentence is from "The Mean", and the second sentence is from "The Analects", and they know what these two sentences mean separately, but what does it mean to put together two sentences that have nothing to do with each other?
Don't know what that means? That's it, go back and get acquainted with it for three years, and come back after three years.
Is there anything more grassy in the world than this? The students have worked hard to study in order to be able to leap into the dragon gate one day, and now they are pitted by the exam questions.
However, this problem does not exist at the moment, because there are many sentences in the four books, which are enough for another two hundred years!
What Zhu Houwei needs to do is to extract a few sentences from the four books as the exam questions for Enke's four-book exam, and wait until the ninth day of the second lunar month to send them to the examination room, open the package in front of the examiners, and then announce the exam questions to the candidates.
This operation is naturally to eliminate the possibility of leaking questions to the greatest extent, because in this way, before the exam starts, only the emperor knows the content of the exam questions, and the emperor does not disclose it, how can the outside world know?
Of course, cases of fraud in the imperial examination are not uncommon, such as the emperor is too lazy, and let the eunuch he trusts ask questions or throw them directly to the cabinet, these factors may cause leakage, after all, people are not sages, who can not have selfish thoughts?
After the examination of the four books, the examination of the Five Classics is not the same as the examination of the four books, the four books are required to be tested in addition to the number of languages of later generations, and the Five Classics are the same as the localization of historical objects.
After the completion of the Four Books and Five Classics, it is the last question.
Four books and five classics, Zhu Houwei is a layman, but there is no pressure at all to come up with the questions, it is nothing more than to eliminate the previous exams, and then choose more than ten or twenty sentences, no difficulty and no pressure.
Zhu Houwei's focus is on inquiring!
