I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 144 Wang Jingqi

Hangzhou House.

In the Wang family mansion, Wang Jingqi, who has passed his thirties, is in the study room, staring at an arithmetic book called "Several Evolutions".

"Shudu Yan" is the earliest arithmetic book written in the Qing Dynasty. It was written by Fang Zhongtong from Tongcheng in the 18th year of Shunzhi and the 15th year of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty. It was officially published 17 years later.

By the way, this Fang Zhongtong is the son of Fang Yizhi of the Ming Dynasty, and he can be regarded as inheriting his father's legacy.

"Master, someone is looking for you outside and says he is your friend!"

At this moment, a long-robed servant trotted in and said to Wang Jingqi.

"My friend? Invite people into the living room first. I will be there soon, sir." Wang Jingqi thought for a moment and said.

After a while, Wang Jingqi came belatedly. When he arrived in the living room, he saw a young man drinking tea slowly.

Seeing Wang Jingqi coming, the young master immediately smiled and stepped forward and said, "Brother Wuji, I heard that my brother is studying hard at home, so I'm really bothering you by coming here this time!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Wang Jingqi was a little embarrassed. He just bought a copy of "Shuduyan" or a simplified version of "Shuduyan", and he didn't understand it.

"I wonder why Brother Ziqi came here today?"

The visitor's name is Fu Hao, also known as Zi Qi. His name may sound ordinary, but he is the grandson of Fu Hongji, but the family has already been separated in the generation of Fu Hongji's son.

By the way, this guy is the (really) rich young man who complained about the Ming army's expedited cavalry at Quanzhou City Gate.

The reason why he is in Hangzhou now is simply because his own father beat and scolded him and drove him here.

Fu Hao sighed: "To be honest with you, brother, I am here because of the matter of Enke. I wonder if you have heard about it?"

After hearing this, Wang Jingqi pondered for a moment and said, "...I have indeed heard it."

"Brother, I don't know. Brother Yu came to Hangzhou this time. On the surface, he came to study, but in fact, it was just for this Enke matter..."

At that moment, Fu Hao told Wang Jingqi everything, including that his father wanted him to come and participate in the imperial examination, and he left his brother at home to wait for the Ming Dynasty to open up the sea and get the first pot of gold. It can be said that he understood the game of putting eggs in separate baskets.

However, this is not the point. Wang Jingqi is keenly aware that his brother Ziqi, whom he has been friends with for a long time, seems to know in advance that Daming is going to open Enke.

interesting.

Historically, Wang Jingqi was arrogant and arrogant. He was accustomed to watching others order their food. He was also famous for his nice words and was better than a flatterer. Even Nian Gengyao couldn't help but appoint him as his aide.

This Fu Hao was caught by Wang Jingqi's fishing, and now it turns out that he really didn't make a mistake.

Wang Jingqi asked: "In that case, why is Brother Ziqi troubled?"

Fu Hao sighed: "I don't know, brother, but what worries me is the imperial examination. Now everything is good in the Ming Dynasty, but it emphasizes military affairs and neglects literature. It doesn't say anything about the tyranny of the gentry like us, and even ranks with the people. It's so chaotic." I am really worried about the government, but no one in the court has dissuaded me from it..."

After hearing this, Wang Jingqi suddenly smiled and said: "Haha, why should I do it? It's because of this. Since Brother Ziqi feels this way, why not just follow the trend."

"At that time, the chaos will be brought to an end, and Brother Ziqi can not only display his ambitions, but also fulfill his uncle's expectations."

"Similar to what happened in Longzhong, wouldn't it be great to help the Ming Lord and work together on the great plan?"

"Hiss~ Brother's words have awakened the dreamer!" Fu Hao suddenly realized, and immediately said with his hands: "We, scholars, should help the Lord of the Ming Dynasty and work together on the great plan. In this way, we can live up to our journey in this world! "

What kind of words can wake up the person in the dream? If I didn't have an idea, why would I come to him to tell him.

He was just going with the flow.

Fu Hao felt psychologically comforted, and then he raised his hand and asked, "I wonder what Brother Wuji has planned?"

Wang Jingqi said: "Since Brother Ziqi wants to help the Ming Lord, how can you not come and join in the fun?"

Fu Hao was very happy: "Well, brother, you and I will go to the government office tomorrow to sign up. By then, you and I will be officials in the same court. We will definitely wipe out all the traitors in the Ming Dynasty and bring peace to the world!" "

Wang Jingqi cupped his hands and said, "Definitely!"

Fu Hao then left Wang Mansion with a satisfied look on his face.

Watching Fu Hao leave, Wang Jingqi couldn't help but show a look of disdain on his face.

But he was right about what he said just now. He was indeed preparing to take the Enke exam in the Ming Dynasty. He had been taking the exams in the Qing Dynasty for decades, and he only passed the Juren exam seven years ago. He is now waiting for his turn. After seven years, we still haven’t waited, and the family is almost at a loss to open the pot.

It can be said that Wang Jingqi has had enough of this hopeless life. In the Qing Dynasty, if Han people wanted to be officials, they could only take the scientific examination, and even passing the examination was of no use.Countless Eight Banners nobles and servants are waiting to become officials!
Why should I give you a Han Chinese who is nothing?
The most intuitive example is that the Kangxi Dynasty was known as "the Manchu-Han family", but in fact, the governors, governors, governors, Daotai and other high-ranking officials in the country were basically either Manchus or Han Eight Banners. No matter how bad they were, they were just slaves.

Such a "Man-Han family".

Ha ha.

"However, it is clear that we no longer have that blessing. It seems that we can only take the Jinshi exam..."

Wang Jingqi secretly thought that he had already read the announcement from the Hangzhou government office yesterday, so he spent a lot of money to get this "Shudu Yan" to study.

Mingshuan Ke has not appeared in the imperial examination hall for a long time. Since the Holy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty re-listed it, he must attach great importance to it. In addition, this is the first Enke of the Ming Dynasty...

Presumably, the difficulty level must be lower than that of Jinshi subjects. Wang Jingqi thought that his knowledge was just like that, so he thought of taking an eccentric approach.

But now, it has failed, and I still have to get involved in the Shike.

But it's not without a chance. After all, for the first time, Enke would definitely relax on purpose even for the sake of face!

The next day.

Wang Jingqi left home and met Fu Hao. Fu Hao was also surrounded by several friends he met in Hangzhou.

After all, who doesn’t like this kind of scholar who is young, rich and bold?

However, when these people saw that Fuhao was still friends with someone who could at least be their father, they couldn't help but feel contempt in their hearts, but they didn't show it.

Wang Jingqi didn't pay attention, and instead exchanged polite greetings with a few people, but that was all. These people were no different from Wang Jingqi in terms of their clothes or conversation, so there was no need for deep friendship.

When they arrived at Defu Yamen, they realized that there were quite a few scholars who had come to register for the exam, at least several hundred of them.

The Ming Dynasty only has two and a half provinces!
Sure enough, I really came to the right place this time.

Wang Jingqi didn't hesitate and stepped forward directly to sign up for reference in accordance with the government's rules.

The registration threshold is very low, as long as you pass the childbirth examination, you can register. Of course, there are also preferential treatment if you have fame.

After all, this Enke is also the first Enke of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the most advanced Enke. The process is quite neat, but in order to save time, it is all compressed.

First of all, the county examination and the government examination were omitted. These two examinations were part of the scientific examination qualifications. Dengji Enke was too busy to take the examination for children.

Dengji Enke started with the college examination, and there were three exams in total. The first was the college exam, the second was the provincial exam, and the third was the general exam.

The palace examination is the final process. In fact, as long as you pass the general examination, you will not fail. The palace examination is just for the emperor to see and rank.

Those who pass the first college examination can be awarded the title of scholar by the Ming court, and can continue to take the second provincial examination, and so on.

Those who already have the reputation of being a scholar can directly skip the college examination and go to the provincial examination.

After Wang Jingqi, Fu Hao and others signed up, they said goodbye to each other and went home. They had to go back and pack their luggage.

By the way, we need to prepare some more local products and go to Nanjing to sell them.

They were all awarded the title of Juren, so they could skip the provincial examination and go directly to the national examination.

In ancient times, the examination was also called going to Beijing to take the exam, so they had to pack their bags in advance and go to Nanjing to take the exam.

In fact, the examiner whom Wang Li and the others competed for was also the examiner of the joint examination.

For the previous college examinations and provincial examinations, the Ministry of Rites dispatched examiners to Hangzhou, Fuzhou, and Zhangzhou to supervise the examinations.

The examinations overseen by Zhangzhou are mainly prepared for the second government in eastern Guangdong.

Ok!

Zhu Yijiong not only wants to punish Enke, but also wants to win over the hearts and minds of the gentry and people in the second government of eastern Guangdong!
No matter what, this attitude is here.

　Historically, Wang Jingqi was unlucky. He had just defected to Nian Gengyao, but Nian Gengyao was overthrown by Yongzheng the next year. He also angered Yongzheng because he flattered him so hard that he was immediately beheaded in front of the public without saying a word, and his head was also raped. It was hung on the city wall for ten years.

　　It is used to warn future readers that not everything can be said nonsense.
