Chapter 143: The Imperial Examination
After Qin Keqing's funeral, it was only a few days before the day when Shenjing would try the imperial examination.
The examination is held every three years.
It is scheduled to be held in three sessions on the 9th, 12th, and 15th of February in the first month of February.
In the first test, there are four books and three ways, and four ways of scripture and righteousness; In the second trial, there is one trial, five judgments, and one answer in the edict, edict, and table; The third test is the five ways of Shi Ce.
All those who are admitted to the township examination can take the examination.
There was no quota at the beginning, and the number of students was as high as 472, and after the 11th year of Chenghua (1475), about 300 people were selected.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of the north and south, the first year of Hongxi (1425) set the amount of scholars, and six out of ten southerners. Northerners 4 out of 10.
Xuande and Orthodoxy were divided into three volumes: southern, northern, and middle, and the amounts were also changed from time to time. Those who are successful can participate in the temple examination. There are two chief examiners, and the same examiner was initially eight members, and later increased to seventeen members.
Today, the beginning of the dynasty follows the old system of the ancients!
..........
Shenjing, Suncheonfu, Gongwon.
Today is the day of the Shenjing Imperial Examination, which is the ninth day of the second month.
This morning, Jia Yun deliberately got up early, and under the service of the maid Xiangling, after washing and changing, she looked at herself in the mirror and was dressed properly and handsomely, so she went out of the house and went to the location of the Shuntian Mansion Gongyuan to participate in this imperial examination.
There are still many people like Jia Yun who get up early to participate in the imperial examination, most of the people who come and go are people from the township examinations from all over the country, and a few are small servants who follow them to carry things, as well as the invigilators who participate in the invigilation of the examination.
In feudal society, the status of lifting people is not low.
Once the scholar achieves the achievement of lifting people, he already has the ability to be financially independent, and he can be regarded as worry-free about food and clothing only by relying on the support of the imperial court, and the thin land hanging in his name can be regarded as one of the local gentry, and it is not difficult to get a few little wives, and it is not difficult to have a third wife and four concubines.
After the ordinary people who have no merit on their bodies see the lifting people, they must be called the master of the lifting people, bow their hands, and salute them.
It was really a step over the Xiucai Gate, and the sky was wide from then on.
The candidates who came to the examination this time, and the people who came and went, were all township test lifters who had a reputation for raising people's merits.
However, these people are still not satisfied, and they are still thinking about continuing to take the entrance examination in order to win a jinshi and the first.
Jin Shi and the first, after entering the court as an official, can also have a better future and future, but it is better than the person who became an official, and the future road is better.
When Jia Yun came to the gate of the Gongyuan today, he saw Jia Zheng, the second master of Rongguo Mansion, standing here, and it seemed that he was waiting here to send Jia Yun to the Longmen for the examination.
After Jia Zheng learned that Jia Yun intended to take the test, he thought about Jia Yun's relationship with him, and he cared about this matter a little, but he paid attention to this matter very early.
It's just that in the recent past, the matter over there in Ning Guofu can be regarded as a noisy Jia Zheng.
Although the final result was that Jia Zhen invited Wang Xifeng to go out of the mountain to assist in the housework of Ning Guofu, it was barely considered to settle the turmoil behind Qin Keqing, as well as the funeral ceremony, so as not to let others gossip.
But Jia Zheng's life was not easy.
Qin Keqing's death seemed to be a fuse, and the chain reaction caused by it made Jia Zheng seem to be aware of something abnormal and wrong, so he paid special attention to Jia Yun's imperial examination.
Although Jia Zheng had supported Jia Yucun to take the throne before, and served as the prefect of Yingtian, it was regarded as leaving a way back for the future of Jiafu, but Jia Yucun was a relative who couldn't be counted as a child, and he was just a false relative at all.
What's more, Jia Yucun's reputation has never been very good, and Jia Zheng's attention to Jia Yucun is far less important than Jia Yun's.
Today is a good day for the imperial examination, and he knows that Jia Yun is going to take the Enke examination, how can he not come to see him off?
Therefore, Jia Zheng deliberately came over early today and waited at the gate of the Gongyuan, waiting for Jia Yun to come and enter the dragon gate.
When Jia Zheng saw Jia Yun, he stepped forward, smiled slightly, and arched his hand and said, "Virtuous grandson! You will try the imperial examination today, and I will send you into this dragon gate. As the saying goes, the carp jumps over the dragon gate, and it is not a mundane thing from now on. Your jump today is really different in the future. ”
"It's getting late! I won't say much, and I wish you a bright future, the imperial examination high school, can also add three points of glory to my Jia clan, and it is also a thing for the ancestors and ancestors of the Jia clan to see my Jia clan flourish and be happy. ”
Hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia Yun hurriedly replied with a smile: "Second grandfather, this is the best blessing I have heard today, I have your auspicious words, I will try the imperial examination today, I must go all out to live up to the promotion of the second grandfather!" ”
After greeting Jia Zheng, Jia Yun stepped into the Dragon Gate and entered the Tribute Courtyard.
As soon as he entered the tribute courtyard, Jia Yun saw a lot of township test lifters from Jinling Mansion.
Most of these township test people are also acquaintances who know Jia Yun, and after seeing Jia Yun enter the courtyard, everyone also hurriedly walked over and said: "Yun Juren, when I said goodbye from Jinling Mansion, it was really a long time apart, and now goodbye, Yun Juren's demeanor is better than in the past!" ”
"Yes! Yunju people are the great talents of our Jinling Mansion, if Yunju people come, I am afraid that this will try Huiyuan, but there will be no mediocrity for us! ”
"Yunju people, if you are a high school meeting in the future, you can set up a banquet and invite everyone present to ask for a cup of joyful wine!"
“..........”
Most of the people in Jinling Mansion were compliments, and those who didn't know Jia Yun also found out about Jia Yun's past deeds from their companions at this moment, and they couldn't help muttering in their hearts, thinking, "Why haven't you heard of such a person before?" ”
"It's just that the imperial examination in the same year as such a person is a bad luck!"
The number of places for the entrance examination is always limited, and the number of places admitted in previous years will be followed.
If this Jia Yun really has that ability and literary talent, then the number of places in the examination will be automatically reduced by one admission place.
The number of admitted places is one less out of thin air, and their hope of being able to go to high school in the future is one point less, how can they be happy!
Even those candidates who came to Jinling Mansion to take the imperial examination, although they complimented Jia Yun on the surface and boasted about Jia Yun's literary talents, but behind the scenes, they didn't think about it like that in their hearts.
Jia Yun occupied one of the places in the high school entrance examination, although everyone was convinced, they would inevitably feel resentful, thinking that they were afraid that they would lose their name in this year's imperial examination, and Sun Shan's ----- would hang.
Mortals in the world are in awe of the heavens, but they are jealous of the geniuses.
If it weren't for Jia Yun's birth in a noble family in Jiafu, I'm afraid that these people really can't be so flattering and coquettish, just think that there is no one in the court, it is difficult to be an official, and it is even more difficult to enter the house.
At this moment, Jia Yun stands out among the crowd, which is particularly attention-grabbing.
Calling friends and friends, it is particularly eye-catching.
