The first step in the imperial examination is the children's examination, also known as the small examination and the small examination.

The children's examination consists of three stages: the county examination, the prefectural examination and the hospital examination.

And a scholar who has just graduated from a private school and wants to take the children's examination, he must be guaranteed by someone to prove that you are indeed outstanding in literature and qualified to participate in the imperial examination.

And this guarantor is also exquisite, and it must be a talent who is above the fame.

At the beginning, before Yuan Xuan participated in the county examination, he invited a Xiucai named Sun Simiao in this county to be the guarantor, and for this reason, the Zhang family also gave twenty taels of silver.

Twenty taels of silver! This is not a small amount, equivalent to 16,000 yuan now, not everyone can afford it! Fortunately, the predecessor was from a good family at that time.

And the gift of this guarantee has also become a source of income for those who have the fame of showing their talents, and it has almost become a rule.

However, a one-time guarantee can be used for life, and there is no need to find someone to guarantee before every exam, which is a one-time consumption!

Both the prefectural and prefectural examinations are presided over by the chief officials of each county and prefecture and are held once a year. The college examination is presided over by the state Xuezheng, also known as the Admiral College, is the third product, is appointed by the Hanlin Academy, so this level of examination is called the college examination, which is only held once in three years, and the township test is staggered, and it is held in July.

After passing the county examination and the government examination, the government will issue the corresponding certification documents, which are similar to the current graduation certificates, with which students can participate in the college examination held once every three years.

The county test, the government test, the hospital test, the first place in the three tests are collectively called the head of the case, and if the three consecutive tests are the head of the case, it is even the middle three yuan, also known as the "small three yuan".

Those who pass the college examination are students, also known as Xiucai or Maocai, and will also be issued with identity nameplates. Then they were divided into state, prefecture, and county schools to study.

There are three classes of students, including epiphysis, hyperplasia, and epiphysis. Those who are provided with meals by the government are called Zengsheng members, referred to as Zengsheng; those who increase beyond the quota are called Zengsheng Students, and the department is called Zengsheng; and the number of places is increased in addition to the Zengsheng and Zengsheng, and the number of students is attached to the end of all students, and the department is called Episheng.

Admission to the student examination is the starting point of fame.

And Xiucai is also known as a member of the imperial examination, and has the qualification to participate in the township examination to become a lifter. Of course, if you have a big background or a noble person, you can directly enter the Guozijian as a student, become a tribute student, skip the township examination, and directly participate in the general examination.

The official imperial examination of the Dayong Dynasty was divided into three levels: the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination. The township examination is a local examination held by the southern and northern Zhili and the political envoys of each country. The location is in the south, Beijing Mansion, and the residence of the political envoy. Once every three years, it is held every child, Mao, noon, and unitary year, and is also called Xiangfu. The examination hall of the examination is called Gongin.

The examination period is in autumn and August, so it is also called Qiuqiu. All students in the state can take the examination. There were two chief examiners, four people in the same examiner, one person who was promoted, and several other officials who presided over the township examination. The examination will be held in three sessions on August 9, 12 and 15.

The person who is called in the township examination is commonly known as filial piety, and the first name is Xie Yuan. In the township examination, it is called B list, also known as B department. When the list is released, it is the time when the osmanthus is fragrant, so it is also called the laurel list. After the list is released, the governor (the chief executive of a state, who is the third product) presides over the deer banquet. During the banquet, the poem "Deer Song" was sung and the Kui Xing Dance was danced.

The general examination is a national examination presided over by the Ministry of Rites, also known as the rites. In the second year of the township test, it will be held in the ugly, chen, wei and xu years. The national examination is held in Beijing, and the examination period is in February in spring, so it is called Chunqiu.

The examination was also held in three sessions, on the 9th, 12th and 15th of February. Since the general examination is a higher level examination, the number of examiners in the same examination is twice as large as that of the township examination. The chief examiner, the same examiner, and the promoted officer are all held by the higher officials. The examiner is called the president, also known as the seat master or seat master. In the examination, it is called Gongshi, commonly known as tribute, also known as Mingjing, and the first name is Huiyuan.

The temple examination was held on March 15 in the year following the examination. The test taker is a tribute. The tributes did not fail in the palace examination, but the emperor rearranged the ranking. The palace examination was presided over by the emperor himself, and only one of the current affairs was examined, and there were also emperors who came to the palace to add poems or couplets according to their own preferences. After the temple examination, the paper was read the next day, and the list was released the next day.

Admission is divided into three grades: the first and third, the first and the first, the first champion, the Dingyuan, the second list, and the three Tanhua, collectively known as the three tripods. The second class is given the birth of a jinshi, and the third class is given the same birth of a jinshi. The first place in the second and third grades is called Chuanyu. The first, second, and third class are commonly known as Jinshi. The Jinshi list is called the first list, or the first branch. The Jinshi list is written on yellow paper, so it is called Huangjia, also known as the gold list, and the Jinshi is called the title of the gold list.

The first place in the township test is called Xie Yuan, and the first place in the meeting test is called Huiyuan, plus the champion of the first place in the palace test, which is collectively called Sanyuan. Lianzhong Sanyuan is a good story in the imperial examination. In this world, since the imperial examination, even those who are in the middle of the three yuan have only two ears.

After the palace examination, the champion was awarded the Hanlin Academy for revision, and the Bangyan and Tanhua were awarded for editing. The rest of the Jinshi who passed the examination are called Hanlin Yuan Shu Jishi. Those who pass the examination after three years will be awarded the editors and reviewers of the Hanlin Academy, and the rest will be distributed to the directors of each department, or they will be preferentially appointed by the county, which is called the Sanguan. People from the Shuji scholars were promoted quickly, and after Yingzong, the imperial court formed a situation in which non-Jinshi did not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin did not enter the cabinet.

When it comes to the imperial examination, we have to talk about the official system of this world. Since Sui Taizong Yang Guang unified the world, and expanded the territory, the new establishment of the north Jiaozhou and Jinzhou, the south of the barbarian state and Yuezhou, the west of the new state, plus since ancient times Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Henan, Liang, Yongjiuzhou, collectively known as the fourteen states.

The Dayong Dynasty started from Yongzhou, successively laid down the four states of Liang, Jing, Yu and Yang, ruled half of the world, and once set up a capital in Yuzhou, now called Nanjing. Later, the Yong Dynasty became the first country in history to unify the north from the south, and finally unified the world, and set up a capital city, which has continued until now, and is called Beijing. The division of various regions also follows the old system.

The central core power of the Dayong Dynasty was the cabinet and six ministries of the three provinces, which were Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Neishi Province, all of which were imperial city regimes.

Zhongshu Province is equivalent to the emperor's secretary department, the door province is all female officials, composed of show girls and palace maids, obeying the orders of the harem, and the inner province is composed of eunuchs, who are the eyes and ears of the emperor.

The cabinet is the real power core of the dynasty, with nine old cabinet members, the first of which is called the first auxiliary, and the second is the second second. It consists of six departments, including the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry.

In addition to the six ministries of the cabinet of the three provinces, there are also inspectors who supervise the hundred officials of the world, the imperial history department who is responsible for admonitions, the Qin Tianjian who is in charge of the beliefs of the world, and the Jinyi Guard of the Son of Heaven's pro-army.

In terms of local power, from top to bottom, it is divided into states, counties, prefectures, and counties. There are three chief officials in a state, the chief official of the government is called the governor, the chief military officer is called the patrol, and the chief official of the academic affairs is called the academic administration, all of which are the three grades; the chief official of a county is called the taishou or the county guard, and the grade is between the fifth and fourth grades according to the size of the county; the chief official of a county is called the governor or the prefect, and the grade is between the sixth and fifth grades according to the size of the prefecture; the chief official of a county is called the county order or the magistrate, and according to the size of the county, it ranges from the ninth grade to the sixth grade.
