Chapter 108 Examiner (recommendation ticket requested)
Compared with the county examination and the government examination, the questioner is the local Zhengyin official, and the name is not obscured. It can be different if you are pleasing to the eye.The courtyard examination is the last hurdle of the children's examination. Chinese-style scholars are called shengyuan, which is what most people call scholar.Only at this point can you be regarded as a scholar and have the qualifications to participate in the imperial examination.

In the final analysis, the boy test is the preliminaries of the civil service examination.As long as you win the exam in the next township examination, you will be eligible to be an official.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together, so the status of scholars was naturally extremely high.As long as you become a scholar and enter the class of scholar-bureaucrats, you will have the privileges of being exempt from corvee, not kneeling when you see the county magistrate, and not being able to use torture casually.At that time, even if the robbery of military funds is found out on his own head, the government will not be able to use force on him.In other words, he Gao Wen can stand on the same level as the officials, fight against the enemy, and initially have the ability to protect himself.

Unlike the county examination and the government examination, where one stereotyped essay is completed in one session, the chief examiner of the college examination is presided over by the admiral Xuezheng of a province, and the person who writes the questions and the examiner is the head of the academy six hundred miles away from the examination place. .When taking the exam, the examinee's paper must be anonymous.In addition, after handing in the paper, a special transcriptionist must transcribe the article you wrote and send it to the examiner for judgment.After being admitted, it is only when the cover is removed that we will know the name of the Chinese style person.

Only at this stage can it be regarded as a formal imperial examination. It is all based on real skills and hard skills, and there is no human kindness to speak of.After all, the government examination is related to the fame of the scholars, and the scholars with the highest rankings will be sent to the government schools to study, and they will be given granary rice on a monthly basis, and they will eat public meals and hold iron rice bowls.

To be honest, after being hit in the government examination room, Gao Wen was a little uneasy about the next hospital examination.Although he memorized a lot of stereotyped essays for champions, he was afraid that when he went to the examination room, the questions given by the examiner would be like those of the government examination, and he didn't have the model essays at hand. Hard to write.

In all fairness, Pingliang Prefecture is backward in culture and education, and there are not many scholars among the counties in the Prefecture. If plagiarism is not relied on, Gao Wen's stereotyped writing level is only at the middle and lower levels. If you are lucky, you will be squeezed into the list. up.For example, this time, I was bad luck and was hit by "The People Are Precious".

At the most troublesome time, the college examination, which is related to the scholar's fame and personal political and economic interests, not only tests the writing of stereotyped essays, but also tests the theory of policy.In addition, you have to write a poem and post a poem.For these things, Gao Wen didn't have a model essay at hand, and he had never touched it before, so he needed to learn from scratch.Of course, the proportion of policy theory and the like in the exam is not large, and it has little impact on the exam score, and it is only used as a reference.

In addition, there are two exams in the college, one for the main exam and one for the re-examination.After passing the first test, you are not officially a scholar.You have to take the re-examination, and you will be considered out of the case if you win.

By this time, the difficulty of the imperial examinations had suddenly increased.Because of this, 80.00% of the scholars were rejected in this level. Many people failed the college entrance examination many times. Tongsheng, a beautiful talk about the same scientific examination.

During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, there were many records of hundred-year-old students taking the college entrance examination in Guangdong.I had no choice but to go to the imperial court and ask the emperor to give them a fame.Otherwise, if an old man is so old and sees strange questions like "Big Grass" when he enters the examination room, the examiner will follow suit if there is a problem.

Of course, because Pingliang's economy is backward, there are too few candidates.Therefore, in the entire Shaanxi Province, except for the re-examinations in Xi'an and Hanzhong Prefectures, the hospital examinations in the other prefectures are all one-off.

This made Gao Wen couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, one more test would be an extra variable for him.One deal, one deal is naturally the best.

After passing the government test, Gao Wen was officially a child.After signing up at the government office, I bought a lot of books and stayed at home to study hard all day.I also imitated others and wrote a few policy theories and wrote a few test post poems, but I always felt that the taste was not right.He couldn't think of a reason why something was wrong.

On this day, Gao Wen finished his boxing practice as usual and was about to study when he thought of his marksmanship skills, and his heart moved: It seems that although the original owner of this body was not good at martial arts, he had an extraordinary talent for bow and horse , if possible, it is possible to strengthen this martial art.

It's just that, as a scholar, it's not unreasonable to walk around the streets with a strong bow and crossbow all day long.Besides, if you really meet an enemy, it is impossible for them to wait for you to run home and get a big bow before fighting you fairly.

Immediately, he had an idea in his mind, so he went out to the street, found a silversmith to make a slingshot for himself, and made a bag of steel balls out of it.In order to test the power of the slingshot, Gawain pulled the slingshot in the craftsman's yard and hit it with a crackling sound.Sure enough, as he expected, after practicing more than a dozen pills, the slingshot seemed to be a part of his body when his hand became hot.As soon as the mind moves, point and hit, the example is not in vain.As for the power, it is not small, and it actually broke a piece of thick porcelain sauce steel.Seeing the torn big sauce jar, Gao Wen's heart trembled. This strength is already comparable to that of the compound bow of later generations. An ordinary person will lose the ability to resist immediately after hitting such a blow!If I had this slingshot in my hand that night, it would be easy to kill Na Meiliang, and Yun Molei would not need to do it.

By this time, I finally had a certain amount of self-preservation.

After paying the wages and losing the money for the sauce jar, Gao Wen was satisfied with his weapon and went to a famous restaurant in the city to attend a literati gathering.He closed the door to thank the guests for a while, and he didn't intend to have too much contact with the scholars of the mansion.After all, he has a bloody case in his body, and one less person who knows him will be more safe.

But he had to attend this meeting, because there were still five days left before this year's hospital examination.He has no idea who the examiner's name is, the direction of the questions he is used to, and what kind of writing he likes.These all need to be inquired clearly.Today, there happened to be a Tong Sheng who had passed the government examination at the same time as me invited him, saying that he had already found out, and invited him to have a drink.

Gao Wen naturally went there happily, had a literary meeting with them, and had a drink.Only then did I know that the examiner's surname was Xu, and his first name was Xuan. He was from Wu County, Suzhou.

In the Ming Dynasty, non-jinshi was not allowed to be an official, and non-Hanlin was not allowed to be a minister.What's more, this master Xu is still an editor of Hanlin.Who is the editor, that is the secretary next to the emperor.If you do well, once you let go to become an official, you will at least be a minister at the deputy ministerial level, holding a lot of power, and your future will be bright.

People like this don't stay in the capital to gain qualifications, raise people's reputation, and go to Shaanxi to be an examiner. This is hard to understand.

Seeing that Gao Wen was puzzled, a child student smiled and said, "I'm afraid something bad will happen to Mr. Xu. Normally, if we become his disciples, it will be a blessing from our previous life. However, seeing the chief examiner Xu I guess it won't be a few days. If we are taken by him, even if we get Jinshi in the future, we probably won't have much future."

"What's going to happen?" Gao Wen asked for a long time before he knew.It turned out that Mr. Xu was rather confused, acted absurdly, often had unimaginable strange talks, coupled with his bad character, he had a very bad reputation.The big shots in the court have long wanted to drive him out of the capital and send An Jing away from afar.

Last year, Wala also first invaded the Ming Dynasty. In the battle of Tumubao, the Supreme Emperor was captured alive, and the capital was shaken.After King Yi succeeded to the throne, he reused the Minister of War, Prince Shaobao Yu Qian and Minister of Officials Wang Zhi and other humerus loyal ministers, confronted the Oala army who had invaded the capital in the capital.

However, the strength of the capital is limited after all, and the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp is really not enough.Therefore, Emperor Jingtai listened to Yu Qian's words and sent 15 officials from the science and Taoism to recruit troops.

Everyone knows that going out to recruit soldiers is just in name, saying that they are in charge of military power, but I am a civil servant, what kind of soldiers do I bring?Besides, to recruit soldiers, you have to have someone with money, especially money. Without money, why do you build an army?Even if you recruit enough men and horses, where will you get three meals a day, horses and equipment?
Therefore, when the officials were sent out of Beijing, the emperor gave them a name, which was to give an explanation to the people of the world in name, so as to show the court's ambition to guard the land and resist the enemy. The political significance is greater than the military significance.

Sure enough, up to this moment, the Oirat army has already withdrawn from the Great Wall, and the officials of the [-]th Route Branch have not yet recruited a single soldier.

For those 15 people, this matter was a disguised form of neglect.Because the imperial court is at the moment when the old and the new are changing, all the ministries and offices of the imperial court are undergoing a major change of blood. Once you leave Beijing, when you return to Beijing after finishing your errands, all the good positions will be taken up.One radish and one hole, you can only do it on one side and look angry.

Because of the bad reputation of this Xu Yu, everyone has long disliked him, and then at this opportunity, he was sent out of the capital to recruit Ding Yong in Zhangde Mansion.

When Master Xu saw it, something was wrong, aren't you trying to trick people?

He went to the court to make trouble. He is very talented, and he was born in the Imperial Academy, with many former students and old officials.With this, the imperial court was made into a mess by him.Wang Zhi, the heavenly official in charge of this matter, who is also the head teacher of Duzhi County in Hancheng, was immediately annoyed. He is a famous gentleman, and he most dislikes Mr. Xu, a "treacherous sycophant" who only knows how to be an official. Change Zhangde to Pingliang——Go as far as you go!
Zhangde Mansion is located in Beizhili at any rate, and it is only a thousand miles away from the capital.This time it's all right, I was sent to Pingliang, which is thousands of miles away.

Therefore, by the time he led his troops back to the grassland, the other officials of the Kodao had already returned to Beijing, and Mr. Xu was still staying in Shaanxi.

At the beginning, in order to appease Xu Yu and facilitate his work, the imperial court promoted him to a level to supervise the censor, which was equivalent to a governor and an imperial envoy.

After old man Xu came to Shaanxi, he had no money and no interest in military affairs.After half a year of traveling in Shaanxi, playing in the water, reciting the wind and enjoying the moon, he only recruited more than a hundred soldiers, and the errands were handled in a mess. Hearing that the Ming Dynasty and Wala stopped fighting, he wondered when he would return to Beijing.But when there was no imperial decree on the left and no decree on the right, they became anxious.

According to the election system of the Ming Dynasty, the chief examiners of the examinations in each government should be the Xuezheng of the province, or someone sent by the Imperial Academy.

This year, the imperial court opened the Enke, which is the year of the Grand Competition. In addition, there are examinations in Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei years, so there are not enough academic officers from all over the place.Therefore, the Shaanxi Xuezheng Yamen asked Mr. Xu to preside over the Pingliang Mansion Court Examination on his behalf.

Xu Yuzheng was bored, and he was so quiet that he wanted to move. Anyway, it was raining to beat the children, so he was idle when he was idle.He was originally a learned Confucian, so he was happy to accept students as an examiner, so he readily agreed.
