There are still six or seven days before the start of the examination, and at this time, the war in the north has basically ended, and the capital is showing a prosperous scene.

Because Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu participated in the battle of the northern border, they did not study and review their schoolwork like other scholars.

Now that the exam is coming, the two of them can only review their homework by cramming on their feet, not trying to be of much help to the exam, but only hoping to be able to "sharpen the gun in battle, and it will be light if it is not fast".

Just when Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu were reviewing their homework, the examiner of this exam was also decided.

The examiners of Dashengguo are classified according to their functions, and during the township and general examinations, the examiners who are promoted and supervised outside are called "external curtain officials", and those who are in charge of the internal examination and fellow examinees are called "internal curtain officials".

The chief examiner of the Dasheng National Examination is an internal curtain officer.

Among the examiners of this examination, the Confucian ministers of the Hanlin Academy accounted for a large proportion.

Among them, Tao Kai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Pan Zhengguo, a former bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, are the chief examiners of this examination.

Among the chief examiners, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is an important minister of the imperial court, and Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu are not familiar with this person.

But speaking of Pan Zhengguo, the former bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, this person was admitted to the Jinshi in the same year as Tang Zihu's father, and the relationship is very good.

At the beginning, Tang Zihu strongly invited Huang Tinghui to visit the person who was Pan Zhengguo, a former bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, who was the chief examiner of this examination.

After learning about this incident, Tang Zihu was also shocked.

At that time, if he really went to visit Pan Zhengguo, a former scholar of the Hanlin Academy, if he did not do well in the exam, his name would be lost.

If your test results are extremely good, some people will say that they have visited the examiner of this examination.

Then it's really mud falling into the crotch of the pants, and it makes no sense to explain.

The imperial examination served as a ladder for the promotion of scholars, although these scholars all used a brush to write articles.

But this test is definitely no less than the sword and sword on the battlefield.

As long as there is a little shadow of something, some scholars who fail to make a big fuss will inevitably make a big fuss.

In the twentieth year of Emperor Taizu, there was a "case of fraud in the imperial examination" that shocked the whole country.

After that case, Emperor Taizu came out of the north-south list to appease the angry candidates.

This "fraud case" can be called the first fraud case in Dashengguo.

Huang Tinghui likes to read some miscellaneous books, and he will naturally not let go of these fraud cases.

In the spring of the twentieth year of Emperor Taizu, the Ministry of Rites held the examination, and Emperor Taizu appointed Liu Sanxing, a highly respected scholar of Hanlin, as the chief examiner of this examination.

Liu Sansheng convened a meeting of examiners in this examination to study and formulate the examination procedures, and the law was written in three chapters.

During the exam, Liu Sanxing even went to the examination room to invigilate the exam in person, despite his old age and physical decline.

Before and after the examination, many of his relatives, friends, classmates, and even senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee of the DPRK, relatives of the emperor, greeted each other, handed notes, and gave gifts, wanting to let Liu take the exam online and take more care.

But all this was rejected by Liu Sanxing.

Even at the end of the examination, Liu Sansheng personally presided over the marking of the papers, carefully scrutinizing word by word, for fear of making mistakes.

All the accepted papers must be read again, and after verification, the list will be announced.

But it was Liu Sanxing's conscientious invigilation, review, and marking that brought him great disasters.

On the day the list was released, the waiting lifters came to watch the list.

Those who were careful among the scholars found that all the 51 people on the list were candidates from the south, and all the people from the north were named Sun Shan.

You must know that in the imperial examination, everyone wants to be promoted, and they all want to change their fate by being admitted to the Jinshi.

And now the list is all southerners, which doesn't make the northern scholars particularly angry.

Someone immediately said, "This time, the chief examiner is a southerner, and most of the other examiners are also southerners." ”

"So behind this trial, there must be a behind-the-scenes deal."

The northern lifters who fell off the list were already angry, and if this matter could be done, it would naturally be the most beneficial to them.

Therefore, these northern scholars came to the Ministry of Rites in droves to petition and ask the examiner to explain.

At the same time, with the help of some well-intentioned people, he jointly wrote a royal writ to Emperor Taizu to denounce the chief examiner Liu Sanxing's favoritism and fraud, and intended to promote his villagers.

Later, in a series of political competitions, even Emperor Taizu knew that the chief examiner, Liu Sanxing, handled the matter impartially.

But he still killed some of the examiners with a fraud case, and sent the conscientious Liu Sanxing to the border.

In this so-called "imperial examination fraud case", the imperial power was vividly displayed.

As for those examiners, they are just cannon fodder in the imperial examination.

In addition to this "imperial examination fraud case", there is another one that is also extremely famous.

In that imperial examination, Xie Yuanlang of a state capital was involved, and was finally demoted to a petty official, and lost the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination for life.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "the imperial examination is like a battlefield".

Since the beginning of the county exam, Huang Tinghui may not pay too much attention to his schoolwork.

But he is extremely cautious about every imperial examination, otherwise he may be designed by some people with a heart.

Of course, Huang Tinghui also believes that his strength can rely on the right path to win the imperial examination, and naturally he disdains those sideways.

"Tinghui, it's better for you to be cautious!"

"If this matter is used by some well-intentioned people to make a fuss!"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wash it even if I jump into the Yellow River!"

At this time, Tang Zihu was naturally keenly aware of the horror.

"It's good to know!"

"Although people are not afraid of crooked shadows, if some people are red-eyed, they dare to talk nonsense!"

"So it's good for us to go out for a meeting in the next few days, and find more witnesses!"

"At least some more people as witnesses, there can't be people who don't open their eyes and want to make a fuss about this matter!"

As early as before, Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu not only studied behind closed doors, but also invited some scholars to study together.

So many people can prove that Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu studied in the house during this time.

If there are any blind people who want to frame them, then these scholars who are with them are the best witnesses.

"It's still your way to do it!" Tang Zihu sighed deeply, the more he came into contact with Huang Tinghui, the more Tang Zihu, who was once arrogant, found that Huang Tinghui was really not an ordinary person.

His old father is really vicious, and friends like Huang Tinghui are really worth dating.

"I'm going to try it in a few days, so I'll try my best this time!"

"I hope that this time, you and I will both be able to be on the emperor's list, and the jinshi!"

Huang Tinghui looked at Tang Zihu and encouraged.

"Naturally, it should be!"

"You and I will be able to become Jinshi together!"

Tang Zihu was also full of confidence and said to Huang Tinghui.

……

After a few days, the day of the test finally arrived.

After preparing for the past few days, Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu can be regarded as having regained some state.

At this time, the two were also full of confidence in the upcoming exam.

After all, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefecture are famous places for imperial examinations, and there are countless talents here.

Therefore, Tang Zihu and Huang Tinghui believe that they can achieve a good result in this examination.

As long as you can pass the examination, as long as you don't have a head in the palace examination, then the jinshi is in the bag.

As one of the imperial examination systems of Dasheng State.

In the fourth year of Emperor Taizu, the imperial examination was held for the first time in the Dasheng Kingdom.

Wait until the seventeenth year of Emperor Taizu to be customized.

After that, it was held every three years, and the national examination was held in Kyoto.

Because the test period of the examination is mostly in the spring in March, it is also called "spring skull".

And because the Ministry of Rites presided over the examination, it is also called "Rites".

Every Chen, Xu, ugly, and early years are the main subjects.

If there is an Enke in the Township Examination, the following year will also be held in the Engke.

The exam is divided into three sessions, the first one is four books, three inscriptions, and one poem with five words and eight rhymes. There are five inscriptions on the second scene. The third game is five ways.

In the examination, the tribute scholar and the first name Huiyuan all participated in the palace examination.

This time the examination was held in the Confucius Temple in Beijing, and most of the scholars who participated in the examination this time came from various state capitals to pass the township examination and become scholars.

In addition to this part of the readers, there are also those who participated in the examination in previous years and did not pass.

Therefore, the number of people who take the examination at each time is uncertain, but the proportion of people who take the examination is about 9 to 10 percent.

That is, the number of scholars at each time is about 300.

Of course, the number of people taking the number of scholars will also change greatly for various reasons.

The final number of takers is determined according to the situation of each examination.

"In the end, it will be tested, and the strictness of this inspection is stricter than that of the township test!"

Tang Zihu watched the searchers seriously check each candidate, and he said to Huang Tinghui with emotion.

"That's because there was a problem in the last exam, and there was a candidate who successfully cheated!"

"If it weren't for the fact that other scholars reported this person, who was actually half illiterate, he would have really passed the test!"

Speaking of this, Huang Tinghui also smiled.

I don't know what these cheaters think, this guy is half illiterate, won't he be all exposed when he waits for the palace exam?

Although the palace test will not be dethroned, if something goes wrong in this matter, it will definitely cause the anger of the imperial court.

When the time comes, those who cheat in the imperial examination will not be ruined.

Huang Tinghui said this, Tang Zihu naturally heard it.

After all, the momentum of this incident at that time was not small.

In the end, the two people involved in cheating, one was directly executed, and the other was sent to the frontier.

The two chatted, and it was their turn to enter the Confucius Temple.

After Souzen carefully examined the two of them, he found no abnormality, so he put Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu into the examination room.

There were quite a few people who followed Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu into the examination room one after another, and looking at this crowd of people, Huang Tinghui couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

"No wonder Emperor Taizu once said that all the heroes of the world are in the midst of me!"

"There are so many people who are full of poetry and books, which one is not a talented person, and he has been immersed in poetry and books all his life."

"Now I'm going to fight for a Jinshi quota and break my head!"

"The imperial examination system is indeed used by the rulers to recruit the smartest people and let them enter the bureaucracy!"

Thinking like this in his heart, Huang Tinghui's mind was filled with a set of data.

Since the founding of the country by Emperor Taizu, a total of 58 examinations have been held since the next year, and each examination is roughly counted as 300 jinshi.

In total, about 17,400 people were taken.

In some state capitals with developed imperial examinations, each candidate will take the examination three to four times on average.

A lifter has to take three or four examinations in his life.

Generally speaking, among those who were admitted to the imperial court, the largest number of people went to the examination for the first time.

The rate of more times will gradually decrease.

Among these people who participated in the meeting, about 15% of them were able to make the gold list nomination.

Don't look at this acceptance rate, it's still impressive, but if you think about it carefully, you will feel that this is extremely scary.

After all, those who participate in the examination are all lifters.

Some people in later generations compared 211,985 to Jinshi, but in fact, those in later generations did not know the true gold content of Jinshi.

In Huang Tinghui's view, the show talent in this era is already in the category of college students.

As for being able to be admitted to the lifting of people, it is almost the same as that of Qingbei.

After all, all over the country, there are only two or three thousand people who eventually become Jinshi in the triennial township examination.

In the college entrance examination once a year in later generations, the number of students enrolled in the two universities in Qingbei was 3,500 and 3,390 respectively.

The combined enrollment of these two top universities has reached 6,890.

And that's just the number of students enrolled in a year.

If it is extended to three years, the number will be more than 20,000 people.

This is nearly 10 times the number of people who go to Beijing once every three years to participate in the examination.

Therefore, using the top students of Qingbei University to compare and raise people still raises the status of some Qingbei University.

Of course, leaving aside the population base, everything else is hooliganism.

However, among the 3,000 scholars, this is not something that the top students of Qingbei University can compare.

To say that Huang Tinghui in his previous life was also an outstanding figure, and now he is extremely excited that he can become a public to participate in this audition.

This kind of mentality also made Huang Tinghui smile helplessly.

Although it is already the beginning of spring, the weather will gradually become warmer.

But Huang Tinghui still brought enough clothes, after all, if there was something sick in the cold in this examination room, it would not be good.

Be prepared, Huang Tinghui doesn't want to be carried out of the examination room like some candidates in previous years.

In that case, Huang Tinghui will have to wait for the next three years to participate in this test.

Although Huang Tinghui is still young at the moment, it is not a problem to participate in four or five more examinations.

But how many three years are there in life?

Wouldn't it be better to be named on the gold list earlier, and to become the existence of the glorious ancestor earlier?

Only young people have the qualifications to be frivolous!

When I get old, if I get a jinshi again, the years will be wasted and wasted in the exam.

Huang Tinghui thought as he walked forward with the objects he had prepared.

He quickly received the papers for the exam, and then walked in the direction of his examination room.

As he walked, Huang Tinghui noticed that a big locust tree appeared on the side of the road.

I have long heard that there is a cultural and educational tree in this examination room, and it is said that the first champion of Dasheng Kingdom is because after worshipping this tree, he performed extremely well in the examination, and finally became a huiyuan.

When he waited for the palace test, he was like a god and was personally named the champion by Emperor Taizu.

Since then, the reputation of this cultural and educational tree has spread.

Some people even call this big locust tree the champion tree.

Therefore, all the scholars who pass by the locust tree, regardless of their character, will solemnly bow to this locust tree to bless themselves to perform well in this examination and make a splash.

This is like the fact that before every exam in later generations, students would always worship the so-called god of learning and the like, in order to pray that they would have good luck in the exam.

Although this kind of thing is extremely metaphysical, there are not a few people who are keen on it.

Of course, Huang Tinghui is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, and he is even very curious about this move.

However, Huang Tinghui did not stay here for too long, he went to find his examination room according to the number on the paper.

When I walked in, there was a soldier guarding the door of each examination room.

I deserve to try!

Such strict specifications far exceed the township test I participated in before.

One-on-one caretaker, it's simply top treatment.

The person who can cheat in this situation is simply a god.

Huang Tinghui couldn't help but think of the cheating case in the last test, and he didn't know how the two people who cheated got by.

What a man of God!

Huang Tinghui secretly gave a thumbs up to those people in his heart.

I am so impressed!

However, what Huang Tinghui must not have imagined is that it is precisely because of the mistakes in the last examination that the examiner attaches great importance to the supervision of the examination room this time.

In order to prevent cheating, this specification and treatment are naturally "rubbing" upwards.

This is like a celebrity in later generations who said that he had studied for a doctorate, but he didn't know what HowNet was.

And this so-called "doctor" who was suspected of falsifying the thesis eventually triggered a domino effect on the dissertation.

The plagiarism check of graduation theses has become extremely demanding for some time.

The reason why this test is so strict is naturally the domino effect caused by the cheating case of the last test.

But Huang Tinghui naturally doesn't care about these things.

After all, no matter how many people are in charge of monitoring outside, as long as they don't disturb themselves, Huang Tinghui only needs to bring out his true level.

If you want to be a Xie Yuangong, as long as you play normally, it is not particularly difficult to become one of the titles of the gold list.

Huang Tinghui, who was holding the luggage in his hand, handed his exam card to the soldiers for inspection.

After confirming Huang Tinghui's identity, the soldier led Huang Tinghui into the house.

After entering the examination room, Huang Tinghui couldn't help but complain that Da Shengguo was really reluctant to invest in the examination room for the imperial examination.

This test house has become like this, and it can still be used consistently.

As for the new palace of the little emperor, there are two.

You really don't have to be in the right place to be rich.

Complaining like this in his heart, after Huang Tinghui put down his luggage, he began to look at the test house.

After all, I will spend the next few days in this bird place.
