Chapter 18: The Unremarkable Temple Test
On the first day of August in the eleventh year of Jianyan, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the autumn was high and cool, and the wild geese flew over the palace city in the distance. The faint breeze not only blew a burst of cinnamon incense, but also seemed to dilute the previous turmoil Wu Jue's family ethics incident, the party dispute between the two parties of Mizuki and even the much-discussed military merits, not to mention that it was not diluted, and today it is destined to be covered by the large-scale palace examination.
When early in the morning, eight or nine hundred old, middle-aged and young students of three generations poured into the tall and magnificent Xuande Gate, and then walked right inside the palace walls after passing the majestic Daqing Hall and Xuande Tower, and then turned to the west, this group of young imperial elites still couldn't help but be in a trance.
After all, not to mention the majestic Xuande Building before, the Xuanxuan of the Daqing Palace, just in front, is where the Jiying Hall is located, and today after the Jiying Palace test, it comes out directly and then to the west, which is the Xihua Gate that is listed and roll-called.
At this moment, the Wenhua ceremony of more than 100 years in the Great Song Dynasty is the so-called 100-year Yangshi. Coupled with the huge achievement bonus of Jingkang's recovery of Xue Yanyun a year ago, it brought a huge sense of deterrence and impact to these young imperial elites.
Just when countless students walked on the wide road between the East and West Huamen and slowly turned into the Jiying Palace, they didn't know that at the same time, the Zhao Guanjia had already led a large group of people to stand on the Huangyi Gate of the Huangyi Hall next to the Jiying Hall for a long time, and I have to say that the temper of the Zhao Guanjia has been like this for many years.
The ministers were too lazy to care about him, and the prime minister of Lu, who rushed back early in the morning, was so calm that he didn't even lift his eyelids. Whoever let this official family have been mulberry fish ponds for more than ten years, just don't repair the palace, so that Chongwenyuan is still dilapidated and old, and it is also a shiver to take the exam.
Besides, the deacons are also watching the excitement at this imperial gate.
It can only be said that there is no difference from the imperial examination in the third year of Jianyan, but the Zhao Guanjia is old, and the Zai Zhi who accompanies him, except for the older Lu Haowen and the more and more talkative Yushi Zhongcheng Li Guang, have all been replaced by others.
Although the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, although it is a little sad, it is a manifestation of the new blood injected into the country, just like these students who are about to enter the university.
However, in the end, there are many big scenes, and after watching Jinshi this time, Zhao Guanjia did not issue any important instructions of the tiger and wolf, but he held a gold belt, wore a big red robe, and wore a stiff-winged head, leading dozens of civil and military ministers to transfer from the side door of the Huangyi Hall to the Jiying Palace.
Coming to the palace, the Zhao official's family sat on the throne, the left and right civil and military columns were under the steps, and the scholars were guided by the ceremonial officials to return to the back of several cases. Listening to Zhai Ruwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asking the official to write the question in public, and distributing it, he emphasized that there is no need to care about the regulation of the article and the old customs, and it is enough to have something to say, and let people answer the question.
The whole process went smoothly and was terrifying.
Originally, in the 170th year of the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination system was changed back and forth, and when it was changed to Fengheng Yuda before Jingkang, Huizong of the Song Dynasty, even the imperial examination was gone, and it became the three-way method (county school, state school, and Taixue), and students who were admitted to the Tai could be awarded officials directly. But what kind of characters is our Zhao official family, which of the characters who can come today does not know that the official family name is Zhongxing Shiyi, everyone does not say that it is this kind of occasion, even in private, they will not talk about the "ancestral family law", because they all know that the Zhao official family itself is the living ancestor, and his reform is the family law.
But this is what makes people mutter, this time the imperial examination has promulgated the questions, and the scholars below have begun to brush up and answer the questions, he is actually a moth at all, ahhhh
Han Shizhong on the side didn't think so much, since the exam had already started, he simply took the sub-exam questions and consulted them in detail, the guess in the market was a little accurate, there were four questions in total, even a rough person like him could understand it,
The first is a major issue of current politics, Zhao Jiu opened the name, after the war, the country is in ruins, what is the most urgent? How to solve people's livelihood problems as quickly as possible?
The second one is inevitably about the military, Zhao Guanjia directly said, be prepared for danger in times of peace, what kind of share should the army maintain, and how should it be configured in the southeast and northwest?
The third is how to solve the various problems that have arisen in the field of military merit, which is expected by everyone.
The last question goes back to the fundamentals of Confucianism, or the shortcomings of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and how the Son of Heaven should deal with the civil and military issues in the new era.
Han Shizhong was bored for a long time, and after the official family and other civil and military ministers transferred out of the Jiying Hall to the Imperial Palace, but after a while, he didn't know what to talk about with Zhang Rong, he simply let go, looked at Yue Feiqu who was sitting next to him and drinking tea, and asked: "Xiaoyue, Xiaoqu, you are all in the Jinshi, we are literati among the martial arts, tell me, why is there no such thing as the Yellow River here, hasn't the official family stopped for half a day?" ”
Although Qu Duan has restrained a lot after the war, his nature is still there, especially in the face of King Han Qin, who beat him twenty-two times to kill the mighty whip, he couldn't help but say: "The marshal is modest, in terms of position, you are now our commander, and I can't write the text of 'the king's affairs in the world, and win the name before and after his death', how dare Guan Gong play a big knife in front of him?" ”
Han Shizhong's bull's eyes glared, and he was going to be unhappy at the moment, Yue Fei's head was as big as a fight, and he hurriedly signaled to the two masters, and a few tea-drinking ministers next to him had already seen it, and then they wanted to make a noise, and went to the left side of the Huangyi Hall under the corridor of the hall A few Shangshu and Jiusi Zhengqing also laughed, and said: "King Qin, Brother Shi Yin (Quduanzi), the weather is still hot, let's drink a cup of herbal tea first, it is said that it is newly researched by the nobles in the harem." ”
This distinction between civil and military is a proper characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty, don't look at Han Shizhong, Qu Duan is a little dissatisfied with Yue Fei's young age, but over the years, Yue Fei has proven himself through countless achievements, and he is extremely humble (as long as he doesn't drink too much); Second, in the face of civil officials, how can they also be their own people, so the two Western army generals rarely sold face, put out the fire together, and listened to Yue Fei say: "The past dynasties are experts in water control, as far as our Great Song Dynasty is concerned, the poets are all over the river, but how many famous ministers are there in water control?" The younger brother guessed that the official family was also afraid of rashly putting it on the palace to say that there were all kinds of things, so they should be preparing to select a group of pragmatic Jinshi first, and inspect the water control talents from it, after all, Liu Anfu (Liu Hongdao) has returned. "This person used to be the supervisor of the Ministry of Water, and he was quite capable.
Fu sighed again and said, "Actually, the little brother is more urgent than anyone else. Who made me a native of Hebei? Han Shizhong and Qu Duan remembered the broken matter of Sanyi's return to the river, although it had nothing to do with them, they also comforted them dryly, it is nothing more than that the Yellow River is now the Great Song Dynasty from beginning to end, and it will definitely be able to be managed well, so that future generations will not see the flood again, and the land will be thousands of miles.
At this time, someone actually got up and handed in the papers. Yue Fei and the others were stunned, and then they drank three teas.
Of course, it was Zhao Ding who was more stunned than them, because he clearly saw that the first person to hand in the paper was his son, Zhao Fen. And then, Li Guang didn't have time to laugh at Han Shizhong and other rude martial artists, because he was followed by his best friend's son, Li Xiuzhi, who still lives in his house.
Since someone had handed in the papers, everyone gathered in the hall to discuss the articles of the new scholars, and no longer gossiped about them.
