Chapter 364: Fraud in the Imperial Examination
When Seocho heard that Tao Dasheng was in his hometown, he often went up the mountain to lift stones and pull out big trees to practice his strength, and he couldn't help but start gearing up again.
Just after pressing the gourd, Mu Yirong hurriedly stopped again, asking Seocho not to always think about fighting with others.
felt that Mu Yirong's words sounded like Ruicho, who disliked himself and didn't want to be a girl, and couldn't help but squint and ask Mu Yirong, did he dislike her rudeness?
Before Mu Yirong could speak, Mu Yixing, who saw the stitches, immediately accused his eldest brother of daring to dislike Seocho, which was really ignorant.
Then don't miss the opportunity to sell yourself, he likes all the looks of Doweca, and in his eyes, Seocho has no shortcomings.
Mu Yirong really had no way to take his own brother, who was digging his corner all the time, and wiped the scumbags of the dim sum at the corner of Seocho's mouth with a handkerchief, saying that he carefully hoped that Seocho could always sit by his side and not leave his sight, otherwise he would be uneasy and miss.
Mu Yirong, who has a hundred love words, made Tao Dasheng, who has never been in love so far, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and quickly took out a small notebook to write it down, so as not to meet the woman he likes in the future, and he couldn't speak.
And Mu Yixing, who almost didn't spit it out, resisted the urge to rush out to find a basin of black dog blood, and secretly sighed that the eldest brother was really skilled, like a simple girl like Xiaocao'er's cousin who had just come down from the mountain, it was normal for her to be captured by his eldest brother.
Speaking greasy words like this without a trace, Mu Yixing was immediately absorbed into his body like a sponge, just waiting to find an opportunity to win back a city. After hesitating for a while, the scholar Zhongju, who had been quietly listening to the relevant content of Enkewuju, asked Mu Yirong with some embarrassment, do you know who are Zhigongju and Zhiliang this year?
After asking this, the scholar Zhongju hurriedly explained that he didn't mean to go through the back door, but just wanted to know the adults who were in charge of the order and invigilation of the examination room this year.
A few years ago, there was a very outstanding Jinke Xiucai in their township, and the township said that he could be promoted and had the talent of the champion.
It's just that the man, because he has lived in the capital for a long time and has no entanglement, pawned his clothes. As a result, on the day of entering the examination room of the Tribute Academy, he was searched by the invigilator and found a pawn ticket, saying that he was entrained and he was not allowed to enter the examination. Later, in a fit of anger, he went to the temple to become a monk!
Every time Enke takes the imperial examination, there are not a few candidates who are stopped outside the examination room by accident, Mu Yirong told the scholar Zhongju that this year's Enke is served by the Ministry of Rites Shangshu as the Zhigong Ju, and the two waiters on the left and right serve as the Zhiliangdu.
Lord Che Zisu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lord He Xu, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Hua Chun, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, are all new officials, who cherish their talents very much, and they are all kind and talkative.
If you encounter something like the last time it happened to a fellow scholar Zhongju this year, it is estimated that at most the pawn ticket will be confiscated, and after two sentences of criticism, he will be let into the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy.
Scholar Zhongju, who sighed deeply, said that his fellow countryman was really wronged, but in the past, it was not uncommon for candidates to be entrained during the Enke exam.
Every time Enke takes the exam, fraud is inevitable, such as plagiarism, changing papers, and passing notes in the examination room, which often happens, and it cannot be stopped at all, unless the supervision of the examination room is increased.
And such things as "gun substitution" and "impersonation" cannot be eradicated at all without strict verification in advance.
Enke fraud has occurred repeatedly, and although it has been rectified every year, it is a symptom but not a cure.
Mu Yirong also participated in the Enke exam, and also passed the Jinshi Examination, becoming a white-clothed minister. He couldn't know more about the imperial examination.
Indeed, as the scholar Zhongju said, although various inspections and supervision will be carried out every year when Enke takes the exam, there are still many frauds, and it is impossible to eliminate them.
And the imperial examination itself is unfair!
There is a saying that "the upper class has no poor family, and the lower class has no scholars", and since Enko has this choice, it represents the superiority of the existence of the class system.
For example, Mu Yixing, who is a mess of learning, even if he did not pass the Chunqiu exam, he still relied on the relationship between the two princes and had the qualifications for the Qiuqiu exam, which is the advantage of the children of the official family.
Hearing the conversation between Mu Yirong and scholar Zhongju, Mu Yixing felt a little uncomfortable, and secretly complained to his mother that he had to accept the recommendation of the second prince, and did not believe that he could pass his own ability to participate in this year's Enke Examination exam.
Cao Yongle, who also had the qualification to participate in the Enke exam because of the back door, did not feel any discomfort at all, while drinking tea with taste, while dipping a pen in ink, he recorded all the things Mu Yirong said about the Enke exam in detail, and prepared for the exam in advance.
Mu Yirong saw that Cao Yongle was so concerned about the Enke exam, and couldn't help but say two words to Mu Yixing, asking him to learn from Cao Yongle, put more thought into the Enke exam, and don't worry about it all day long, how could he get good results in the exam.
Regarding Mu Yirong's lesson, Mu Yixing has always turned a deaf ear and did not care.
Seeing that Mu Yixing was completely untaught, Mu Yirong shook his head helplessly. His younger brother didn't even listen to his grandmother and mother's words, just like Sun Dasheng, who made a big fuss in the heavenly palace and didn't accept anyone's reincarnation. Except for the Buddha, I don't know who can cure him!
Ignoring Mu Yixing, who kept advising, Mu Yirong looked at the scholar Zhongju and asked him what other questions he wanted to know about Enke's exam?
After thinking about it for a while, scholar Zhongju asked Mu Yirong, do you know that in order to prevent fraud this year, do you choose "fame" or "reputation"?
Every year, in order to prevent the reviewers from engaging in favoritism, some measures are carried out, the most common of which is fame and reputation.
As the name suggests, the name and place of origin of the examinee on the exam file are pasted up, and the pasted stickers are removed when the review is over.
Honor records mean that the imperial court will send a special scribe to re-transcribe the candidates' examination papers. The transcript is then presented to the examiner for review to prevent the examiner from recognizing the candidate's handwriting or from marking the examiner's examination paper.
Mu Yirongdao's transcription is too troublesome and time-consuming, and the last Enke exam used the method of vague names, so it should be used this time.
To these Mu Yixing, who had heard of it for a long time, he sneered coldly, saying that if he wanted to cheat, these two items would be useless.
For example, as long as the candidate makes a secret mark on the test paper, the paid examiner can still successfully cheat by identifying the secret mark on the test paper.
It is not difficult to transcribe this item, you only need to know who the transcriptionist is in advance and buy it, and after he has copied a candidate's test paper, he will hand it over to the examiner who has also been bought.
Anyway, if you want to cheat, you can't stop it.
Unless, the examiner in charge of reviewing the papers is as honest as water and is not moved by money, then even if those candidates have the ability and means to go through the sky, they are helpless.
But unfortunately, he didn't think that those adults in the Hanlin Academy were so incorruptible!
Every year, the examiners of the Enke examination are all well-known bachelors of the Hanlin Academy.
Mu Yixing, who is the son of an official eunuch, naturally heard of these adults in the Hanlin Academy, so he would say such a thing.
