Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

The Hanlin Academy was rushing to enter the papers for the prince. After receiving the examination papers sent by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, several examination papers were scrutinized, and the results were released a day later.

Because Ming didn't have the habit of scoring questions, this group of people still divided the grades according to the circle, dot, tip, and vertical scales. The few students selected by Guoxue could not answer the top and vertical levels. Most of them were drawn circles, and there were few points. The judges counted the number of circles on each paper and ranked them. .

Four of the nine people drew a full circle, and most of the remaining five were only slightly incomplete in answering the big questions later. There are at most three or four points in a full red circle.

Several examiners looked at these papers and were very pleased: "Our questions are well presented. If we can do this, it can be seen that the students of the Beijing Supervisory Bureau are not weak in academic ability. , I am studying harder."

In this era, there is no emphasis on student psychology. The prince who talks about reading and accompany him is supposed to be the best talent, and the worse ones are not qualified to be in his eyes.

It doesn't matter how well he did in the test... If he did well in the test, he was naturally intelligent; if he did not, it was because he was talented and quick, but he also needed to listen to the feast frequently and had a broad knowledge. As for those who don't learn well, maybe there is such a thing in ordinary palaces, and there is no such thing in the prince.

In the early years, when the lecturers of Jingyan served books to the emperor, they could change from kneeling and arguing to standing. It was a good deal. When serving the country’s prince II, they could at most advise a few words when they were studying, and they also wanted to show the teacher’s score just like teaching ordinary students. Are you?

Tiandijun's parents, the two words of monarch and minister are the words that weigh heavily on it.

The lecturers corrected the ink scrolls of several people, and then they entered the East Palace after the lecture, and invited the prince to read them.

The prince looked at the paper and asked, "Which one belongs to Cui Qing?"

Xu Pu pointed to the top one and said: "This is Cui Xie's. Except for him, they are all young talents and Juren selected through examinations in Chinese Studies. There is also a sixteen-year-old Jieyuan paper underneath. not bad."

The prince first picked up Cui Xie's paper and looked at it. Seeing that his handwriting was neat and beautiful, he couldn't help but nodded. Looking at the answer on the paper again, it is simple and precise, and the answer is filled with red circles. The papers at the bottom are also roughly similar. They are all written in the style of the pavilion, and the answers are neat and tidy, with a red circle around it, with only a few points in the back.

There was a slight mistake in what he did himself. When he saw these almost correct papers, he couldn't help but sigh: "Guyuan thought that he did not learn badly. After reading the examination papers of these talented scholars, he realized that Gu has many shortcomings. "

Scholar Li persuaded: "Eastern scholarship is expensive to broaden your knowledge and broad-mindedness, to observe the changes in the past and the present, to understand how the sages are the same as ordinary scholars. These students all have the ambition to assist Shengming. If they can’t study the classics, How can you do things for the court and relieve your worries for the sage? The prince sees these talents, he should be happy for his majesty and for the great Ming."

The prince respected the lecturer, and immediately changed his capacity and thanked him: "Mr. is right. These students have done a good job and deserve a reward."

What the East Palace can give is nothing more than pen and ink and new books. If you are an official, you should also give silver and new notes. However, this companion examination was also a newly-added position. There were no regulations before, and it was not easy to compare with the lecturer, so he was given a few new banknotes and a few piles of flowers.

Cui Xie got ten palace flowers from Fei Hong, Wang Chen, and Qu Shen in the best grade in the exam, and only got five flowers if they were only five. Qiu Jijiu personally handed down their rewards and encouraged everyone to devote themselves to reading and writing questions in the future, to live up to the kindness of the sage and the prince.

The nine people put flowers on the scarf on the spot, boasting of grace. They are all young, and their lives are not ugly. They look pretty with flowers.

After the Jijiu, Supervisor and other instructors who were in charge of them had left, everyone looked at the palace flowers on their heads and made fun of each other, boasting that the palace flowers were beautiful, as if they were a jinshi in the new section. Several people talked and laughed and walked out the door. When passing by, they saw their row of fresh brocade flowers high up in their arms, embracing rewards. Everyone showed a magnificent expression, and they couldn't help but envy their fortunes.

It's a pity that they are either too old or not sufficiently knowledgeable, and they are not envious of this glory.

After the nine people left Piyong, they went to Xuezhai. When he was leaving, Fei Hong stopped Cui Xie and told him to stop at the corridor. He hesitated for a while before saying: "I haven't had a chance to talk to you before, and the things you asked me to do were not done. , I didn't tell you..."

What is "what he is asked to do"? Cui Xie blinked, looking at him unknownly.

Fei Hong took a look at Piyong and whispered: "Your classmates came to me a while ago and asked me to ask Master Si Ye if Xu Juanzhai could publish his lecture..."

Oh... this is it! Because he must be the one who copied the notes, even if it is printed out, it will benefit others, and he forgot it later!

Cui Xie patted his forehead, and she almost pressed the scarf down. Seeing him as if he had remembered, Fei Hong went on to say, "I asked Siye, but he didn't say no. It's just that he didn't need to give an outline for so many years. I can’t sum it up. Even if it’s summed up, I have to calmly revise it before it can be printed into a book. I'm afraid you will have to wait a few years for printing."

Just agree, wait and wait! Cui Xie's spirit was immediately lifted, and he smiled and discussed with Fei Hong: "I have sorted out a lot of notes after listening to Si Ye’s lecture on "Mencius" this year. If I add it based on this, I can save a lot of time. Will Brother Fei deliver it to Siye for me?"

Fei Hong had also heard of his notes and remembered them well, but he had never had the opportunity to see them, and was a little moved, so he said, "He Zhongcheng is an enthusiastic person. Then I will show your notes to my uncle. It’s up to him."

Cui Xie enthusiastically shook his hand and said, "Tomorrow, I will find the previous notes for you! This book will be printed in the future, and it will be called "Must-read Notes for the Two Examinations of the Township Association Series No. 4-Famous Teacher Fei Siye How about Mencius?"

Must-read notes No. 4... Do you still have to say "The Daxue", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "The Analects"? But "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" are about sacrificial wine, and the "Analects" has not been officially opened. This note is empty and cannot be published. It is not appropriate to first publish "Mencius"?

But why is it called "must read notes for the two examinations of the township association", shouldn't it be called "must read for students of Guozijian"?

Fei Jieyuan returned to the school with doubts, but Cui Xie was full of energy and planned a career blueprint.

It just so happened that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was finished with five more volumes, and the treasurer Ji and Cui Qi asked him what new book he had published. He originally planned to first publish the "Graphite Yin Ji" by Lu Juren and their poverty alleviation and student aid group; then publish a set of "Journey to the West" drama script; and then he will have to spend money to buy manuscripts, engage in marketing, and promote IP. A... But Fei Hong's arrival has brought him a new business direction!

Ju'anzhai is different from the original Zhirong Study. You can't just write romance novels just to make money. You should publish this kind of expensive, high-end, scholarly research review materials!

Not only the "Must-Read Notes for the Two Examinations of the Township Association", but also the "New Test Papers XX Sets for the Township Examinations", "New Test Papers XX Sets for the Meeting Examinations", "Guozijian Learning Experience Collection", "Jiangxi Xieyuan Interpretation of Township Exam Questions"... …

How about "Yongping Mansion Xiaosanyuan Review Notes" and "Yongping Mansion Xiaosanyuan Guozijian Collection"?

With the ambition of serving candidates all over the world, he handed Fei Hong the notes of "Mencius" he had compiled before. On the day when the Chinese Academy of Sciences was on holiday, I also had the wish to see the parents and asked Xie Ying to invite him to his home to celebrate his birthday.

Unexpectedly, Xie Ying agreed.

Cui Xie was prepared to persuade him, and told him that all this "good" was stuck in his throat, and he was choked for a long time and could not speak.

Xie Ying smiled and said, "I said I was going to your house a long time ago, but I haven't found a chance. On your birthday, you will always invite relatives and friends to your home. I won't wink in it. For the post, just bring the present with you, tell the door, don’t tell them to stop me."

"How can it be like that..." Cui Xie looked at him and laughed somehow: "If you grow up like this, you can punch your eyes wherever you go. I just invite more people to come. You will definitely be the most attractive when you come. The eye-catching one."

Xie Ying touched his cheek and made him amused. She shook her head and said, "Don't you have many young and handsome scholars in the Imperial College? There are also those good students from the official family. I'm not a good one compared to them. . In short, not to mention that I am Jin Yiwei."

Cui Xie squinted his eyes and stared at him and said: "It's late. I told them when I was in the party. I have a savior named Jin Yiwei Qianhu, who is decent and kind. When I was white I will hand it in. I also said that when my grandfather celebrates his birthday, I must invite him over..."

"Those people all know you and want to see what this loyal and righteous man in Jinyiwei looks like."

Xie Ying was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, as if the light was shining on her eyebrows, she showed a clear look: "If I am stuck with my identity, it will be looked down upon. No matter, it seems that I am going forward. Do more of loyalty and justice, so as to be worthy of the reputation you have spoken for me."

He sorted out his thoughts and asked about the business: "Ling Zu's birthday is always going to be lively, can it be called an opera troupe? If you call people to the house, you must order some opera music and wine, or you will always feel dull and boring. If it were you I can’t make a reservation at home. I’ll ask Gao Baihu for you. Now he looks like a young master in Jiaofang. The troupes outside recognize him, and those who push others have to flatter him."

Cui Xie raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "I haven't heard any news from Gao Baihu these days. He is already so famous? But my family treasurer can also find someone. I never thought about finding him... "

Ju'anzhai has also become popular with many theater troupes and trick girls, and there is no one who can't be called when the shopkeeper comes out. However, Xie Ying persuaded him that he must solemnly leave a post to Gao Su. He will come back or not. Since he has friendship, these important events cannot leave him behind.

"He asked Father Gao to keep him by his side since he was a child, and he was used to a cat-like temperament common to husbands, and he had to follow Mao Lu. If you treat him well, he will snore close to you; if the care is not enough , If he disobeys his will, maybe he will show his paws."

Hey... Father Gao and Gao Baihu are also of this temperament, the Ming Dynasty's arrogance is beyond the standard!

Xie Ying has a good temper, and he deserves to be the one he fancy at a glance!

Because the test was about to come, Xie Ying was afraid of delaying his review, so she didn't leave him for lunch and asked someone to send him home early. When Cui Xie arrived at home, he took the newly printed beauty paper and wrote a piece of invitation letter full of paper. He also sprinkled a few drops of flower dew from the cellar and asked the treasurer to send it to the Gao family.

Gao Baihu has been given a holy favor these days, and he has the task of setting up the stage for several plays. As expected, he has no time to give him a small fourth-grade counselor to celebrate his birthday. But because he was worried about Cui Xie's character, he also asked someone to pack a four-color gift, and asked his housekeeper to send it to Cui's house in advance.

If you come and go, it's the day of scientific research.

In March, it was the time to wear jackets, but the talents for the exam could only wear single-stitched clothes and single-stitched thin-soled shoes. They waited outside the exam room at the three-drum time in the morning. When it came time to check the entrainment, he had to take off so that there was only one piece of deep clothing left, carrying shoes and socks, and standing barefoot on the frozen ground.

Even worse, the test shed is still an old thing built during the test. At that time, the tables and chairs that were purchased were made up of perfunctory pieces. I don’t know how many hands were corrupted. Candidates in the front office and road tests even used them as sitting belts. The tables and chairs were all stubborn. If it's true, I'm afraid I have to sit underground.

The only good news is that this test only requires one test and there are few questions.

Because the papers of more than a thousand candidates were all made by the academicians to judge the papers, it was troublesome to issue the questions of the Five Classics. Chen Yushi saved some time and only produced two four-book questions: one is the "Great Deeds of Yao in the Analects" The chapter "Jun Ye"; one is the four sentences of "Poetry Yun Zhou is the old state" from "Mencius·Teng Wengong".

The Confucian scholars in the Liangjing Township Examination were selected according to the ratio of one to twenty-five interpreters. The tens of thousands of Confucian scholars in the Shuntian Mansion only allowed more than 2,300 to pass the scientific examination. They should be the Shuntian Township Examination next year. Thousands of people from several counties in Shuntian Mansion gathered in this test tent, most of them accompanied the test, and only one or two of them were able to get into the first or second class. In a large county like Daxing County, only seven or eight people can pass the scientific examination.

Chen Tixue stood at the top of the examination booth with his hands on his head, his eyes patrolling the audience of Confucian scholars with a torch, and said: "This official is different from the previous academic and political affairs. It is not that you students are willing to cry and ask. Raise your hand. If you do well in the exam, you will be good. If you don’t do well, you will follow the rules and sweep into the last three gears. It looks good, so I just stuffed you all into the third gear!"

The author has something to say: the scientific examination is not a serious examination anyway, just abbreviate it, not too much
