Hongwu twenty-five, September twenty-three, autumn equinox.

Dong Zhongshu said in "Spring and Autumn Dew, Yin and Yang in and Out": In the autumn equinox, yin and yang are half, so the day and night are even, and the cold and summer are even.

In the autumn season, Jiangnan also has a lot less sights and scenes, and the days are getting shorter and shorter.

When the sky was not bright, Ying Tiancheng began to drift scattered rain, thin and hazy, not much, but always in tune with the solar terms.

"The autumn equinox will be sunny and dry for a long time." Zhu Yunxi was on the city wall behind the East Garden on the southwest side of Dongshuiguan Wharf, looking at the bank of the Qinhuai River in the city in front of him.

The eunuch Yutian was very flattering, and the heavy rain that could obviously cover the two people was put on top of the grandson, and echoed in a low voice: "This year's autumn equinox falls, and I think next year we will have to have a bumper harvest again." ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled silently, Daming in the Xiaoice River period, if it is according to the history of the past, the harvest will become a long-lost word.

Far away, Tian Mai, the secret guard on the city wall, and Sun Cheng, the deputy of the Jinyi Guard, came side by side.

Sun Cheng was carrying a food box in his hand.

Tian Mai carried a chair on one side and a table on the other.

In the two of them, there was a team of eunuchs carrying several wooden platforms.

Less, a group of people hurriedly raised their heights beside Zhu Yunxi, put chairs and desks, so that the grandson could sit on the city wall and look at the Gongyuan not far in front.

At this moment, the sky is just getting dark.

The Gongyuan on the north side of Gongyuan Street has gathered countless test-takers.

A top of oiled paper covers the head of a man full of wisdom who is interested in his career.

"Autumn soup filling, washing the liver, the family is old, safe and healthy."

Sun Cheng said the auspicious words in a joyful tone, and sent an autumn soup filled with wild vegetables and fish fillets, and sent it to Taisun who was already sitting on the chair with both hands.

Zhu Yunxi took it and took a shallow sip.

The wild vegetables were picked from outside the city, and the fish was the last black fish fillet I caught outside the city yesterday.

The fish bones are shaved dry by the cooks, so smooth and tender that you can eat them with little chewing.

Less, under a bowl of autumn soup, Zhu Yunxi opened slightly, exhaling a white smoke and heat.

Sun Cheng sent his hand from the side, and also sent the latest information in the city: "There are a total of 7,329 people in this section for reference. The people of the Ministry of Rites, the Hanlin Academy, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had already paid tribute last night, and the whole process was attended by the Jinyi Guard Yamen. ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and raised his eyes to look at Yingtiangong Courtyard in the distance.

Located next to the Confucius Temple in Yingtiancheng and Jiangning County, Gong, and now even the general, can be regarded as the largest imperial examination hall in the entire Central Plains.

The entire north of Gongyuan Street, Qiwang Street, and the east and west streets of Gongyuan are a huge area of Gongyuan.

The towering courtyard, one by one, encloses the rows of narrow houses.

At this time, Liu San, the chief examiner of Enke Qiufu this year, and Lang, who was the deputy examiner from the Ministry of Rites, took the lead in walking out of the Confucius Temple not far from the Gongyuan.

In the two of them, there are a total of eighteen officials, and these people are the legendary eighteen-room system. The chief and deputy examiners are called the general, and after nine days, the eighteen-room system will read the test of the reference lifter, and take part of the answers, and submit them to the president for selection and recognition. ….

And the president also has the right to re-read the answers that have been rejected by the eighteen-room system.

At this time, a total of 20 officials, who were in charge of the future of more than 7,000 people in the current department, left the Confucius Temple and entered the Gongyuan under the escort of the servants of the Heavenly Mansion.

In a few moments, an officer came out of the tribute courtyard, holding a gong in his hand.

The messenger looked at the crowded field on Gongyuan Street, and he was not daring, he held his head high in a proud posture, and sounded the gong heavily.

The gong sounded.

The already noisy people on the streets of Gongyuan erupted into more movement after a moment of silence.

With the opening of the gate of the Gongyuan, everyone rushed into the Gongyuan one after another.

Everyone wants to get the test in the dormitory and start answering the questions.

Looking at the surging crowd, Zhu Yunxi smiled helplessly.

This way (this chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 250: I Will Do This!

A few years ago, there was a case where a man had obviously rushed to pay tribute, but was squeezed out by the people who crowded in behind him and was drowned in the right pool behind the gate of the tribute courtyard.

It wasn't until a long, long time that Lin Zexu, who was in the smoke of gunpowder, set detailed rules, and finally changed the scene of the imperial examination. It also left a good story of 'three times in person, vigorously and resolutely.

Zhu Yunxi looked forward to it, wondering if any unlucky eggs would also fall into the pool of the Tribute Courtyard this year to sacrifice to the heavens for other students.

It was only half a ring, and when the more than 7,000 names outside the palace were verified and entered the tribute courtyard, there was no news that someone had fallen into the water.

Zhu Yunxi leaned back in the chair a little boringly.

At this time, Yutian was beside him and whispered: "Palace, Master Xie is here." ”

Zhu Yunxi immediately returned, and saw that Jin was dressed in normal clothes, holding an umbrella and walking over from the city wall not far away.

When they arrived, they bowed.

Xie Jin said softly: "Your Highness sent it in the rain, and this branch must be full of flowers." ”

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Xie Jinyi lightly, and looked at the rows of houses in the tribute courtyard calmly: "Whether it is a flower or not, but it still depends on nine days later." ”

There will be nine tests, three days and one day, during which the children are not allowed to pay tribute, these are all regulations.

In the first three days, there are four books and five books, which is the traditional eight-strand text. Three articles and four books, four articles and five verses. This is the most important basis for examiners to choose whether to admit or disappoint.

In the middle three days, the 'edict', 'the judgment,'. The argument is an argument, and the question comes from the fourth book and the fifth book, and the answer is according to the question. The edict table is an official document, which is to refer to the edicts of the lifters to imitate the superiors and write the corresponding edict table. For example, Hongzhi Liu, that is, to raise the sons to imitate the former Tang Prime Minister Zhang Jiu, and to propose that the Tang Dynasty take Zhang Jiuling as the Chinese book. In the eighteenth year, it was proposed that Song Qunchen He Xiaozong make a chart of respecting the sky. The judgment is to refer to the public *** criticism submitted by the officials to the subordinates of the officialdom.

Zhu Yunxi deeply thought about this, and felt that this was a key to the imperial court's materials that was more important than the previous three days of exams.

As for the last three, it is the policy, the examiner chooses current affairs, and the reference can be answered by himself. This is also an important test that can discern the candidate's political philosophy, but it is often only used as a supplementary additional question, and the examiner only requires the examiner to be able to answer fluently. ….

And the most famous one is that the later Tang Bo, who was famous in the south of the Yangtze River, was deposed from the imperial examination and was banned from lifelong examination, because his strategy and questions were too perfect.

And that one, the chief examiner is Cheng Min, the secretary of the ministry, and only Tang Bohu and Xu Jing, who is the reference of the same subject, can answer that question perfectly. So, he was used by people in the court, and then impeached and attacked Cheng Minzheng.

The end of the matter was naturally that Cheng Minzheng, the secretary of the Ministry at that time, was dismissed, and Tang Bohu, a famous talent in the south of the Yangtze River, had a gloomy career.

The original of everything was only because Cheng Min, the secretary of the Ministry at that time, had been selected by Emperor Hongzhi as the next candidate for the Wenyuan Pavilion.

Damn court battles!

Thinking about this, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but curse secretly.

Xie Jin glanced deeply at the tribute in front of him, and then leaned in and whispered: "Your Highness, what kind of lesson did Liu Sheren teach in the Guozi Prison a few days ago?" ”

Zhu Yunxi tilted his head and said lightly: "Aren't you talking about the Four Books and the Five Classics?" ”

Xie Jin sighed for a while, and then said: "But does Your Highness know, what did Liu Sheren say?" ”

Zhu Yunxi looked at Xie Jin with a puzzled look.

Xie Jin immediately said in a low voice: "Liu Sheren has talked about four books and five, and he has only talked about one of the three books. ”

After speaking, Xie Jin closed his hands and retreated, and stood silently with his head bowed.

Zhu Yunxi's eyelids shook violently.

Leak the question!

Zhu Yunxi's mind suddenly flashed this word, and then stared at Xie Jin, who was standing beside him with his head bowed, with deep eyes.

As mentioned above, the answer sheets for the first three days of the examination are the most important admission references, three articles and four books, and four articles and five classics. It is impossible for candidates to know the scope of the test questions in advance, let alone what the specific questions are.

However, now, Liu Sanwu talks in the Guozi Prison, but the Book of Rites, the Book of Songs, and the Book of Books are only taught once.

Filial piety (this chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 250: I Will Do This!

The scriptures and the Analects are compulsory, and at least one of the Rites and Left Turn is selected, and the rest are selected one more question.

But Liu Sanwu's hand is extremely ingenious.

There is no need anymore, Zhu Yunxi knows that this year's examination of the Four Books and Five Classics will be examined, and it must be the seven questions of the Book of Filial Piety, the Analects, the Left Turn, the Book of Rites, the Book of Poetry, and the Book of Shang.

Tian, who came with Sun Cheng on the side, silently glanced at the Gongyuan. Liu Sanwu: This is another crime.

It's just that Xie Jin hesitated and said: "But even if it is, it can't sit on some ...... Bi, most of the people know about this. ”

Xie Jin thought that when everyone knew what they might have to take this year, it could be understood that everyone didn't know. Even if you know, everyone is on the same starting line.

However, Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "People are different. ”

said it lightly, and he lost the interest in continuing to watch.

Standing up, glaring at himself and supporting himself, he was drenched in the rain, Zhu Yunxi took a handle from the hands of the people brought by Sun Cheng and Tian Mai, and walked along the city and towards the east city with an umbrella alone.

Xie Jin looked back blankly at the imperial prince who was holding up and walking alone in the rain and mist, and he couldn't think about it for a while, and then turned his head and looked at the tribute courtyard that was shrouded in the rain and fog and became blurry at the moment, but it contained more than 7,000 lifters. ….

"That's right! That's right! ”

"That's right!"

"It's all right!"

"We will be promoted this year, and at worst, we must be from a fellow jinshi!"

Tribute Courtyard, somewhere in the seemingly endless number of houses.

A young man who rushed to pay tribute first, found his number, took the exam questions, test papers, and paper, and looked at the seven exam questions on the paper with a happy face.

And there is such an exclamation, but it is not the only one, a subtle exclamation, one after another in the continuous number of houses.

Also in a certain place, Gao Yangzhi stared at the test in front of him with flickering eyes, not only sighed. Then he silently reviewed the problem, solved it, and finally began to type the draft on the paper.

Three days is a long time for the candidates in the Gong Academy, but such an experience lasts for another six days.

Thirdly, from the morning onwards, there will be a lifter who will show his head, and then there will be a clerk and an errand to confirm whether the lifter has handed it in, and after receiving a definite answer, the examination papers of these lifters will be collected in the public room of the sealing officer, and the examination papers will be folded and stamped.

Then, it will be sent to the Records Officer to copy the test papers. The original test papers of the candidates were sent to the warehouse seal, and the transcription copies were sent to the 18th room with the examiner for review.

The way to prevent cheating is the most rigorous.

However, where there are people involved, there must be loopholes to exploit.

When Gao Yangzhi used it for two and a half days, on the third day, he ate a piece of meat that he brought in and drank a few sips of water.

After confirming that the test paper was correct, he stuck his head out of the room.

Then, two small officials came over.

One of the little officials looked at Gao Yangzhiyi lightly, his head subconsciously looked left and right, and then asked, "Are you sure it's done?" ”

Gao Yangzhi replied: "Sure it's done." ”

"Such a small one took away the volume of the minister."

"Take it." Gao Yang stopped waving, and put his hands together and hugged him back, he was really a little tired, and he still needed a good rest when the rest of the time came.

And the two little ones took Gao Yangzhi's papers, and when they arrived at the sealing officer, the little officials kept staring at Gao Yangzhi's papers until the paper rolls were covered, and then put Gao Yangzhi's papers on the top, and sent them to the official with a bunch of test papers.

There are several clerks, this is to ensure the speed of copying.

The little official handed the sealed test paper to the little one at the official office, slapped his palm on the top, and nodded silently to the other side.

Then, the test paper belonging to Gao Yangzhi was handed over to the official for transcription. It became the lowest of the test papers.

When the number was enough, the little official here carried the pile of tests and sent them to the eighteenth room with the examiner.

In the process of going, the test that belonged to Gao Yangzhi at the bottom was quietly placed on the top.

(This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 250: I Will Do This!

To the same examiner, the test paper is handed over to the markers who are here to help the same examiners mark the test papers.

The small one who sent the roll was still gently patted on the top with his palm. The clerk who received the paper deducted the top one, and several clerks divided the test and gave it to a famous examiner.

Holding the high Yangzhi test paper in his hand, he handed the test paper to a marker in the corner.

"Big, the roll is coming."

The marker glanced up at Xiao and saw that the little official was hugging him, but the fingers of his palm on the outside were down.

He silently opened the test paper that was placed on the top.

After only a few pages, the examiner stepped back and said softly: "No, no, no words, one pen and ink, how can you lift people." ”

After finishing speaking, he threw the copy of the exam paper belonging to Gao Yangzhi into the bamboo basket on the side.

And, I took another test paper and flipped through it, and saw that there were nails in the corners of the obscure name, so I said happily: "The article is self-sufficient, the sage is in it, the pen and ink are there, and it can be edified." ”

So, the little one who was waiting by his side carefully took this test paper and sent it to the same examiner.

The same examiner also flipped through the one, word by word, and never saw any mistakes or omissions, so he mentioned the green pen and set a comment of more than 20 words.

That's the right thing.

This situation can be seen everywhere in the tribute courtyard at this moment.

One, all in silence.
