Empress Wu left Shen San to ask for a detailed discussion.

At this time, the imperial examination was no different from the exams of later generations, as a veteran of a hundred battles, Shen Sanwen knew too well how to torture these candidates.

All these years of suffering have not been in vain, and this is an opportunity to share the suffering with others.

Empress Wu obviously needs the imperial examination very much, otherwise the court and the central government are united, ironclad, many things are done against her, and everything must be tough to order subordinates, everyone will go crazy, and these subordinates will also go crazy.

If you are not a person with a firm mind, I am afraid that you will have to doubt life.

Those high-ranking officials also can't allow her to be arbitrary all the time.

But how many years has it only been since the imperial examination appeared? Emperor Wen of Sui came up with an idea, perhaps in order to have an excuse to better give the official to the person he likes.

Shen San asked about the assessment method and the assessment process, and the Empress Wu couldn't hide his excitement in his eyes. As an actual emperor, there are not many things that can excite her, but there are quite a few things that make her angry.

Think about the exam papers you've done before.

Nothing more than multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, true/false questions, analytical questions, and essays.

There are also translation questions.

Now the posting and ink meaning of the imperial examination, that is, filling in the blanks and translation questions.

The selection is divided into three steps.

The first step is to write, judge, and choose.

The ancients said that the meaning of reading a book a hundred times is self-revealed.

This is really self-deception.

I have read Li Bai's poems many times, and I don't understand how beautiful the artistic conception of the ancients was.

Later, I checked the interpretation and found out that the meaning of this sentence is that Yun wants to come to make clothes for her, and Hua wants to dress up her appearance, which is indeed beautiful.

Therefore, it is still important to understand.

This step of the assessment can eliminate some people who are dead readers.

If you are really familiar with the classics and have your own understanding of the allusions in them, then it will not be too bad to understand current politics.

At this step, you can select those students who have a tenacious personality and can bear hardships and stand hard work.

At least the topic is a little more difficult, and those who can understand the topic should have no less attention and perseverance.

The second step is to test the analysis again.

Like what.

How to solve the land problem.

How to solve the emptiness of the treasury.

How to manage merchants.

How the Tibetan rebellion should be appeased.

Give some solutions and let these people analyze and filter out the right ones.

Social issues, people in society should know more about social issues, even if what they say is wrong, it is excellent to have their own opinions.

And this assertion can also tell whether this person is a bastard or a person.

There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers.

Whether a policy is beneficial to the country and the people, or whether the masses have to speak, this step is for the candidates to analyze and clarify.

In the exams of the 21st century, there are also analytical questions, and candidates cannot simply answer yes and no.

Even if you take the topic right and copy it in reverse, and explain the vernacular, the teacher will be extremely pleased to see it.

It's as if you really understand the meaning of the words and are an amazing student.

On the other hand, those who answer right and wrong, cherish words like gold.

Even if you answer correctly, the teacher will think that you are guessing, and then come back to a comment that you do not understand thoroughly.

It makes people want to cry without tears.

This is probably a thousand words in the chest, but there are no words.

Since it is said that it is to choose people with opinions, even if these talented and wise people can only be regrettably eliminated.

After all, being able to convince others is also an important skill, and not everyone can correctly judge right and wrong.

Being able to expound one's own views and convince people who have no opinions is really an important skill for officials.

The third can only be composition.

Write down an article, short, and it can also hide your character.

When it's long, you will reveal your true thoughts between the lines.

Just like the author who is coding words at this time, he knows that he is a single-minded person when he reads the article.

However, this is not absolute.

In fact, Shen Sanwen has never understood why he has to take the poetry and song test as an official, which makes people have the illusion of choosing poets.

Perhaps after the imperial examination came out, the emperors of these generations thought that those who could do poetry well were smart people.

At this time, the composition had already taken the rudimentary form of the propositional composition of later generations.

Giving a political question and allowing candidates to play freely is called political commentary.

These question types have really not changed for thousands of years.

Just a preliminary understanding, Shen Sanwen has a lot of things he wants to complain about.

However, relying on his common sense that is thousands of years ahead of the millennium, it is also immoral to criticize the ancients.

Shen Sanwen still suggested that the separate scoring of poems should be abolished, and that political discourses should be the mainstay, and poems could be used to highlight literary brilliance in political discourses.

With a topic, there has to be a process.

The process is nothing but the township test, the state test, the provincial test, and the palace test.

The township takes the test once first, and the state takes the test again.

The provincial examination is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the examination of Shangshu Province.

The palace examination is an examination presided over by the emperor again.

Empress Wu was very pleased, "In the past, most of the imperial examinations were directly sent by the family to the Ministry of Rites to take the exam, so these gate valves are rampant to this day, with this detailed selection strategy, I can finally break this pattern." This is not a small achievement. “

Have an ambitious boss, at least don't worry about having nothing to do.

After March, students from all over the country were allowed to enter Beijing for examinations and select talents.

Shen Sanwen became the chief examiner.

With this big wave of the hand, the flow of people across the country has to rely on, and if there are too many people, it will be difficult to manage.

However, both the government and the opposition are very optimistic.

There are jokes to watch.

The Empress Wu wanted to make a contribution through the ages, reforming the old and bringing forth the new, but it was Shen San who was bitter.

One can imagine how crazy these people would be when they heard the news of Enko.

Ten years of cold windows no one asked, and in one fell swoop became famous all over the world.

I'm afraid millions of people will come.

Chang'an can't accommodate so many people.

Fortunately, the power given to him by the Empress Wu is also big enough, and he acts cheaply, so that he can select people with real talents and real learning in this imperial examination.

Alright then, let's take the exam by region.

Luoyang and Chang'an are responsible for the second examination, Qizhou, Youzhou, Shangzhou, and Liangzhou, all of which are responsible for some of the candidates for the preliminary examination.

It's going well.

In the past two months, batch after batch of people have been screened out.

I don't know if it's because there are a lot of people who fill up the number of indiscriminately, or if the teacher resources are scarce, or if the test questions are too difficult.

Of the millions of people who rushed to take the exam, only one-tenth could pass the first attempt.

Only one-tenth of those who can pass the second test can pass.

In the end, there were more than 10,000 people left, staying in Chang'an.

The imperial examination has always been a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, and the Tang Dynasty was no exception.

Of the more than 10,000 people, I am afraid that less than 100 people can be used in the end.

The candidates were panicked, half a year was wasted, and they were a little dissatisfied.

Especially knowing that poetry was canceled, only political discourse.

You don't have to play like that, do you?

A limerick poem came out of the students.

"Thousands of miles to the imperial examination, the test questions are more difficult, if the king of Luling is concerned, the poetry is also romantic."
