Given the same Jinshi background, dogs are not appropriate?

When these words came out, there was silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Zhao Jun with strange eyes.

Good guy, I don't even like the name of the special performance these days, you have to know that every year, if these places are left outside, I don't know how many people will grab them?

It's not appropriate to return the dog.

If the dogs in Bianliang City have the wisdom of someone and know that the official family wants to give a special name, I am afraid that they will all flock to the city gate of Donghua Gate and squeeze it out.

"Jun."

Seeing his unhappy expression, Zhao Zhen coughed twice and said, "I have actually always wanted to ask." ”

As he spoke, he also gestured, and also raised his middle finger at Zhao Jun, and said in surprise: "I have seen you compare this gesture many times, what does it mean?" Does it have any special meaning? ”

"That's what greetings mean."

Zhao Jun said without blushing and heartbeat: "It belongs to the unique greeting culture of our post-90s and post-00s young people, and it is generally used when expressing opposition. ”

"I see."

Zhao Zhen gestured his middle finger to Zhao Jun again and said: "Then I will object to what you said, Citong Jinshi is also a Jinshi, it does not mean anything, in the future, it will be the same as the phase, why not?" ”

Zhao Jun replied with a middle finger and said: "Don't bully me for not understanding, I studied history, and I was born in the same jinshi, with a low status in the officialdom and slow promotion." Zeng Guofan of the Qing Dynasty was quite inferior because he was born as a fellow jinshi, and his colleagues turned his face when he ridiculed him with his wife and fellow jinshi. ”

"Hehe, I don't understand this, in my Great Song Dynasty, the special performance name is a great honor, even if ordinary people want to get it, they can't get it, although there are some opinions in the officialdom, but there is not much difference from ordinary Jinshi."

Zhao Zhen smiled and continued to gesture with his middle finger: "And if you don't pass the imperial examination, you can naturally only enter the imperial court through the imperial court and the door shade, but your household registration records that both parents died, unless you are transferred to the name of a certain senior member surnamed Zhao, you can't be in the shade, or you can only take the imperial examination." ”

"I read a lot, you can't fool me. It's a great honor, but it's almost a shame. I still want to enter the officialdom in the future, and I don't know what status I have to give the same jinshi? When the time comes, you will be subject to others everywhere. ”

Zhao Jun changed his hands this time and gestured together: "Even the door shade can't do it, don't think I don't know, the Song Dynasty door shade can't be a high-ranking official, everyone here is from Jinshi, including Lao Lu." Isn't it just an exam? Just let me pass the exam, I want to be the champion! ”

I want to be the champion?

Everyone looked at each other, and then everyone burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha."

"Hahaha, Zhao Jun is so happy."

"Jun boy, are you joking with me?"

"Zhao Jun."

Yan Shu laughed and said with tears in his eyes: "I know you are arrogant, but do you know how many champions there are in ten years? ”

"Ten?"

Zhao Jun asked tentatively.

"I usually hold the imperial examination once every two years, in August this year, in the autumn of this year, in February next year, in the provincial examination, and in March. Sometimes it only happens once every three years, so within ten years, there are only four or five champions. ”

Yan Shu said with a smile: "And this champion has gone all the way, he needs to participate in the examination of nearly 200,000 people, then participate in the provincial examination of more than 4,000 people, and finally participate in the palace examination of more than 100 people. If you don't read the scriptures, how can you get the top score? ”

"yes."

Wang Zeng also smiled: "Don't you know, although this special name is only the fifth, it can also make countless people crazy." You must know that I only take a taxi once in two years in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are only more than 100 people who take a taxi each time, even if it is a special name, it is one in a million. ”

Although Zhao Jun disliked the identity of Citong Jinshi, it was because he stood in the perspective of later generations and felt that Citong Jinshi's identity was too low and unworthy of him.

But from the perspective of the people of the Song Dynasty, even if he was born in the same Jinshi, it is also a glorious ancestor.

The reason lies in the acceptance rate!

According to the records of the "Song Hui Yao Manuscript", during the Zhao Kuangyin period in the early Song Dynasty, the number of people who participated in the township examination every year was as high as more than 100,000, which was already 200,000 in the Renzong Dynasty and 400,000 in the Lizong Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty.

For example, in the five years of Huizong Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty, 180,000 people took the township examination, and only 2,334 people passed the examination, with an acceptance rate of 1.29%.

Although the acceptance rate from the lifting person to the Jinshi is slightly higher than that of the township examination, and more than 100 people can enter out of a few thousand, it is also very rare, and it is pitiful.

Therefore, if you go by the acceptance rate, the acceptance rate of Renmin University is really nothing, and Tsinghua University and Peking University can't compare.

But Zhao Jun still looked disgusted, and said: "The problem is that the status of the special performance name in the officialdom is too low, not that I look down on the special performance name, but since I want to do great things, should the starting point be higher?" ”

"With us here, are you still afraid that your starting point is not high?"

Lu Yijian said with a smile.

Zhao Jun shook his head: "I don't think it's as simple as Lu Xianggong thought, the identity you arranged for me is that both parents died, right?" ”

"yes."

"I am an ordinary Bianliang person with no father or mother, no background, or I have failed many exams and have been given to those who are from the same jinshi, how low do you say my status in the officialdom is?"

"Amount"

Everyone looked at each other, and since ancient times, those who were born in the shade of the door and those who were born in the same jinshi are at the bottom of the chain of officialdom contempt.

It's good if you have a background, but if you don't have a background, it's simply the bottom of the bottom.

Mixing in officialdom will indeed be looked down upon.

Zhao Jun continued: "And then there will be the support of the official family and the prime minister? Then the next day, did the rumors in the whole Bianliang have to fly all over the sky? I'm afraid that I am the illegitimate son of an official family, and this kind of thing can be passed out, do you believe it or not? ”

"It's not that exaggerated."

Zhao Zhen scratched his head.

He really didn't know how terrifying it was for the people of Bianliang to chat after dinner.

Zhao Jun smiled: "Whether it's so exaggerated or not, that's probably what it means." Therefore, I hope that in the future, when I enter the officialdom, I must have a certain status and not be controlled by others everywhere. Then getting a relatively high ranking in the imperial examination is my primary goal. ”

"What you said is indeed reasonable, there is such disdain in today's officialdom, the first class discriminates against the second class, the second class discriminates against the third class, the third class discriminates against the fourth class, and the fourth class discriminates against the door shade and the fifth class."

Wang Zeng said in a deep voice: "But the problem is that the law of the imperial examination must not change, no matter how much you say, you must pass the examination before you can enter the office!" ”

Zhao Jun smiled: "Isn't it just an exam?" The last thing our contemporary students are afraid of is the exam, there were more than 10 million people in the college entrance examination a year, and in the real sense, thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, and they were not the same as being admitted to the National People's Congress. ”

"It's easy to say."

Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but teased on the side: "Do you know the Nine Classics, the Five Classics, the Kaiyuan Ceremony, the Three History, the Three Rites, the Three Transmissions, the Pedantry, the Ming Law, and the Ming Scripture?" Even if you can get by, what about poetry? ”

"Poetry? Simple! Can't I just copy it? ”

Zhao Jun said.

Just kidding, the poems of the Northern Song Dynasty are not easy to copy, and I can't copy the Southern Song Dynasty?

No matter how bad the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty or even the Republic of China have good poetry, I'm afraid of it?

Fan Zhongyan was numb at that time, and said angrily: "You copied it, you can't count it!" ”

"Huh."

Zhao Jun said with a smile: "What I wrote is mine, Su Shi, I remember that Jing Yu was born in the third year, and he is only one year old this year, do you want to go to him to confront me and say that I copied his poems?" And it's not just Su Shi's, even yours I'll copy. ”

Yan Shu was shocked: "Even you dare to copy ours?" ”

Zhao Jun stared at Yan Shu maliciously and said: "I remember that you are most famous for "Huanxi Sha", which has a sentence "Helplessly, the flowers fall, and the familiar Yan returns." "I don't know if it's written."

Yan Shu glared at him and said angrily: "I'm sorry, I wrote it in the second year of my Heavenly Sage." ”

Zhao Jun thought for a while and said: "You definitely didn't write the song "Mountain Pavilion Willow: The Song Donor", I remember that it was written when you were demoted at the age of sixty. ”

Yan Shu was shocked: "That's the poem I will write in the future?" ”

Zhao Jun crossed his waist with one hand, pointed to his nose with the thumb of his right hand and said, "Of course, you didn't write it, that's mine." I've crossed over, why don't you let me copy it? Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty was a poet immortal, I copied all of you, so it has to be a word immortal. ”

"Little bunny, you dare!"

Yan Shu was furious.

What do literati love the most?

Name, of course.

In the Song Dynasty, if you want to be famous, the first thing is to write words.

Everyone knows what a word is.

Wen refers to political essays, such as Su Xun's famous "Theory of the Six Kingdoms".

Yan Shu is a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, who loves to write words the most, and regards writing words as more important than his own life.

As a result, Zhao Jun wanted to copy the words he worked so hard to write, which was simply asking for his life.

Don't say it's Zhao Jun, even if it's his own son, he wants to roll up his sleeves and beat him half to death.

And it wasn't just him, everyone was furious when they heard it.

Because although the people here have their own interests and positions, they have one thing in common, that is, they are honest and honest, and they are more upright and have the style of a gentleman.

Therefore, I had a lot of complaints about Zhao Jun's unteaching of Japan and some of his conspiracies.

To put it simply, these people claim to be upright and gentlemen, and they disdain to use those indiscriminate methods.

Now Zhao Jun has made it clear that he wants to cheat by plagiarism.

Although whether copying poems that have not yet appeared in the future is considered cheating, it may be debatable.

But for these people who are morally and spiritually clean, they still feel uncomfortable.

Even more angry than when Zhao Jun pointed at their noses and scolded.

But they didn't know that this was also where Zhao Jun was very dissatisfied with them.

Although Confucianism has many positive aspects, such as establishing the correct three views, teaching people to respect the old and love the young, and constantly strive for self-improvement.

But sometimes it also makes people become dogmatic, rigid and inflexible.

Obviously, a high-achieving student is here, and he has to let him go to the exam openly, even if he goes through the back door, he can only go to the special name.

I don't know how much the special name will affect his reputation and status in the officialdom in the future.

This is a struggle for the right to speak in officialdom, and there must be no compromise.

So in the face of everyone's pedantry, Zhao Jun half-jokingly said: "I am a descendant of the Zhao family, and if you scold me as a little rabbit cub, you will scold Taizu." Lao Yan, you're done, you scolded Emperor Taizu for being a rabbit, what is your intention! ”

"Me"

Yan Shu was numb at that time, he had never seen such a shameless person.

"Good guy, copying other people's poems in front of them, and biting back, I have never seen such an arrogant person when I grow so big."

"yes, it's too thick-skinned."

"When the initial emperor repaired the Great Wall, he took his face to repair, why bother the Huns to go south?"

"I've never seen such brazen people."

King Lu Yijian and the others were also dumbfounded one by one, and they talked about it.

This cheek is comparable to a city wall.

Fan Zhongyan was also dumbfounded, gave a thumbs up, and said speechlessly: "You really do it, what about the scriptures?" ”

"Is Jingyi important?"

Zhao Jun asked.

"Of course it is!"

Zhao Zhen said without hesitation.

Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "What can Jingyi do?" I have mathematical, physical and chemical knowledge in my head, and I can strengthen the country. If you have economic, cultural, and military knowledge, you can also strengthen the country. Can we also invent and create, reform the system, and predict history, which is not more important than the scriptures? All the champions of the North and South Song Dynasty combined, can they compare to a single hair of mine? ”

Wang Zeng was the first three yuan and the first, and he was not happy at that time, and said: "Zhao Jun, don't talk nonsense, Jingyi can govern the country and the country, Zhao Pu said: Half of the Analects can govern the world, have you heard of it?" ”

"No kidding, if the Analects were useful, would the Northern Song Dynasty destroy the country? Will so many dynasties in the past dynasties perish? ”

Zhao Jun immediately slapped his face and said: "Since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has been respected exclusively, and as a result, the feudal dynasty has only lived for about three hundred years for two thousand years, because Confucian culture has constrained the progress and development of society. What age are they still holding those old thoughts; Ideology and culture must keep pace with the times, reform the old and bring forth the new, this is the real meaning! ”

"Crooked reasoning, it's all crooked reasoning! It's just nonsense. ”

Cai Qi took the case, he was also born as a champion, and he was very unhappy that Zhao Jun belittled Confucianism and the champion so much.

"It's not a fallacy, it's a fact."

Zhao Jun shook his index finger: "Sometimes you have to admit that the times are progressing, the society is developing, and the stereotypes and traditional ideas you hold every day are completely ignorant and dross, which seriously restricts the development of the country and makes a country always stagnant. ”

"Why was China still the world's first in the early Qing Dynasty, and as a result, Europe was able to catch up in just one or two hundred years and colonize the whole world?"

"It is because people's minds are not bound that the industrial revolution has been completed in a very short period of time."

"And Confucianism will only teach you every day that the king is the minister, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife. Let you do as you say, and turn all the people of the kingdom into servants of the king. ”

"Although this did help the emperor a lot to centralize power, once society and ideas were solidified, the country could not progress."

"The Song Dynasty was very aggressive militarily, but it was very brilliant in terms of cultural and economic development. The world-recognized four great inventions of ancient China were basically perfected in the Song Dynasty. ”

"The gunpowder that appeared in the Tang Dynasty began to be used in the military, the papermaking technology that appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty helped scholars popularize knowledge, Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, and the compass was also widely used in navigation."

However, Mr. Lu Xun once said that foreign countries use gunpowder to make bullets to ward off the enemy, but China uses it to make firecrackers to worship God; Foreign countries use compass needles to sail, but China uses it to see feng shui; Paper and printing allowed European civilization to flourish, but you are bound by your own minds and cannot use them to get on the right path. ”

"People in Europe also have emperors, why can people complete the industrial revolution, but you can't? It is not because the dross of Confucianism has shackled people's minds, put the shackles of loyalty and patriotism on people's heads, solidified the class, and made it impossible for everyone to progress. ”

"Science and technology and inventions are regarded as strange and ingenious skills, the germination of non-Confucianism is regarded as cultural heresy, and the martial artist is an unstable factor.

"And I can help you build a strong national industry, develop basic education, reform the officialdom system, and have more knowledge than everyone in you, but because of rigid dogma, I can't become an official."

"So it's not pedantic, what's it?"

In the end, Zhao Jun's tone has become more and more severe, although it is true that the old Zhao family is his ancestor, but it is undeniable that the Song Dynasty is indeed very embarrassing in its historical position, which makes people feel very poor.

The imperial examination system itself was created to recruit talents, but they cling to dogmatism and do not allow talents to enter the ranks with a high status, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

You must know that Zhao Jun has studied the culture of the imperial examination, and the most important reason why he insists on taking the Jinshi examination and does not want to be given the same Jinshi background is the issue of officialdom's right to speak.

Since he promised Zhao Zhen that he wanted to contribute to the Song Dynasty, he naturally had to enter the officialdom.

And Citong Jinshi was born, not only was he slow to be promoted and his salary was low, but he was also at the bottom of the chain of officialdom contempt.

In the future, I will talk to colleagues at the same level, even lower grades than myself, but in front of people who are admitted to the first and second grades, or even the third and fourth grades, I have no confidence to speak.

For example, when he enters the yamen in the future, his colleagues at the same level will look down on him, and the lower-level officials are easy to disobey him, making him like a little daughter-in-law who is controlled everywhere, even if he wants to make a difference, he may not be able to exercise power.

No one brings a bird to you.

This is the importance of officialdom's right to speak.

Therefore, based on these reasons, Zhao Jun does not want to be at the bottom of the contempt chain, not to mention giving a champion, at least there must be a first-class and second-class one.

So Zhao Jun hopes that they can be flexible and change their thinking, such as allowing themselves to plagiarize later poems and songs.

If this has been so rigid, Zhao Jun will really have to consider running away.

After all, he never felt that after he crossed over to the Song Dynasty, he had to submit to the Song Dynasty.

If we can't even do this bit of flexibility, then what kind of reform and progress are we talking about?
