On the second day, Baoyu cried and cried and was sent to study in Guozijian.

went with him, and there was a whole cart of luggage, and its momentum was vast, compared to Jia Huan's original trip to Guozijian, there was a world of difference.

After Jia Baoyu went to Guozijian, the entire Jia Mansion finally calmed down.

And Jia Huan also began to ponder the palace trial strategy article.

The questions of the temple examination must be related to reform.

Of course, this is not a proposal for reform for candidates taking the exam, but mainly a discussion about whether to change.

There are so many essays to do on this question.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jia Huan also finalized the article he wanted to do little by little.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the day of the temple examination.

The palace examination is prepared by the cabinet and then submitted to the emperor for selection. Only those who have been selected for the examination will be able to participate. The purpose is to distinguish between those who have passed the entrance examination and to select officials.

In fact, the main purpose of the palace examination is to compete for the qualification of the emperor and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, cabinet scholars, etc., so as to avoid the dispute between friends in the court.

In the township examination, the candidates who pass the examination must worship the examiner as their teacher. And this kind of relationship between teachers and protégés will form a huge network of relationships.

Over time, there will be a party struggle in the court.

The emergence of the palace examination made all the students who took the entrance examination admitted by the emperor, and these candidates naturally became the protégés of the Son of Heaven.

Their seat teacher was the Son of Heaven, not the ministers of the court. In the future, they only need to be loyal to the Son of Heaven and will not form a partisanship.

This is also the reason why Scholar Zhu and Scholar Cheng did not see any guests at the beginning.

On the day of the temple examination, the candidates enter at dawn and go through the rituals such as roll call, scattering, praising and bowing, and then issue the questions.

The topic of policy formulation is personally formulated by the emperor, and the topic is a current policy, the question is five or six hundred words long, and one or two things are asked.

There are certain format and word limits for the beginning and end and the middle of the writing, especially emphasizing the writing, must use the main style, that is, the so-called "courtyard style", "pavilion style", the word should be square, light garden, jet black, large. From a certain point of view, calligraphy is often more important than writing.

Jia Huan and other students have long been taught court etiquette. Of course, Jia Huan has already learned, well, at the Luming banquet, he asked the princess chick to pour wine, and the next day he was called by Chongkang Emperor to scold him, and he learned it at that time.

After entering the palace, more than 300 candidates did not squint and did not dare to look more. Follow the officials of the Ministry of Rites into the Baohe Palace.

Tables, chairs and benches have been prepared for a long time, and each person has a table, and the student's exam number is written on the table.

After entering the Bohol Hall, candidates follow the test number to find their place.

Jia Huan is about Huiyuan, and his place is at the first table on the left.

After a short time, the procedure went through and the issue of the policy began.

When he opened the paper, Jia Huan found that there was only one question in this exam: Theory: If you don't govern the world together, you don't need to be ancient.

This sentence is selected from the pre-Qin "Shang Junshu and Change of Law", which means that governing the country cannot be done in just one way, but must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

Shang Junshu was written (doubtful) by Shang Ying, who was a pioneer in changing the law.

The purpose of the emperor's policy has been very clear.

It is to let these more than 300 students discuss, is there any truth to what Shang Ying said? Is it time for me to change?

It is very oriented, and basically allows candidates to discuss the necessity and urgency of change.

Of course, you can do the opposite. It is said that the system of Daxia is perfect now, and there is no need for change. It's just that once you don't like the king, you will inevitably not be able to get a good ranking.

After Jia Huan read the question, his heart was relieved. Sure enough, the master expected it, and the article he prepared in advance could be used.

Jia Huan first wrote a line of words on the scratch paper, the destiny is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to be lawful, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate.

This sentence comes from Wang Anshi, the leader of the Northern Song Dynasty reformers, which means that there is no need to be afraid of changes in the heavens, the rules of the ancestors may not be imitated, and people's discussions do not need to be worried.

In this era, the Song Dynasty lost a first-class talented woman, Li Qingzhao. Even the prince Wang Anshi did not appear, Jia Huan can rest assured that he can learn from it.

With arguments, the following arguments and arguments are naturally a matter of course. Of course, in fact, this was all prepared by Jia Huan in advance.

In this article, Jia Huan is calm and unhurried, and the writing is naturally full of flowers and whipping into it.

The palace examination is only one day, the morning exam is examined, and the papers are handed in in the evening. If you want to drink tea or go to the toilet, you can raise your hand and ask the little eunuch in the palace to lead the way.

At noon, I also have a meal, and the food and drink in the palace still taste quite good.

In the evening, all the candidates had handed in their papers and were led out of the palace.

And their examination papers are subject to official collection and storage such as papers, palm papers, and seals.

On the second day, eight important ministers elected by the imperial court began to revise the volume.

Each of these eight people has a table, and they are circulated in turn, each with five kinds of marks, "○", "△", "\", "1", and "×", and the one with the most "○" is a good volume.

Then, in all the volumes, the ten books with the most were selected to be submitted to the emperor, and the first, second, and third places in the first class of the imperial approval were the champions, the eyes of the list, and the flowers.

The first three people are called "Jinshi and the first", also known as "three tripod Jia". A number of people in the second class, accounting for one-third of the admitted, are called "Jinshi origin", and the first name of the second class is passed on.

There are a number of top three, accounting for two-thirds of the admitted. Finally, the list is filled in by the list filling officer.

Theoretically, the champion list and the flower are both submitted by these eight revisers to the top ten.

Of the eight examiners who revised the papers, two of them were Scholar Zhu and Scholar Cheng, as well as two from the Ministry of Rites, one of whom was Fan Zhongyu, the chief examiner of the township examination, and the other was Qian Xing.

These four people are all old men of two dynasties.

The other four are young officials, all of whom were raised by Emperor Chongkang.

Scholar Cheng had more than 30 copies in hand.

Cheng University Scholar picked up a batch of changes, and all the test papers that strongly supported the change, Cheng University Scholar went up to be a /.

Those who strongly support change will be given a 1. If you support a certain degree of change, you will give a △.

If you don't support or oppose change, you will be given a ○.

After quickly correcting another test paper, Scholar Cheng picked up another test paper and found that the first sentence of this test paper was: The destiny of heaven is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate.

I only read this sentence, and I don't need to look at the following anymore, Scholar Cheng gave a × directly.

This son is arrogant! If it weren't for the fact that the palace examination couldn't depose the candidates, they would have to let this son fall off the papers.

And the final result of the correction is that the more candidates in the circle, the higher the ranking.

But theoretically speaking, as long as there is a cross, it is basically impossible to enter the top 10.

After all, one examiner gave a cross, and when other examiners saw it, they would give this examiner more or less face, and basically would not give him a circle.
