Chapter 187 The Imperial Examination Revealed
The conspiracy between Lu Shengnan and Wang Huaian of the Kong family was exposed and the students were completely won over.
The quick knife cuts the mess and kills them, and takes the opportunity to clarify the chaos in Chaotian, and gives this fresh Xinming a clear example - here, the original party struggles will be a dead end.
It was also through this killing that we gave the world and court officials a consensus that Wang Xuejun could not touch his butt.
But another demand from the students still needs to be done.
That is, this imperial examination, which stipulated that the original group of foreign officials who came to join in the competition will participate together.
Those old officials have passed the imperial examinations, and they are reviewers. How can new students compete with them?
What's more, this time we are going to take the national policy theory. The officials who have been in politics for many years have been more practiced and have gained an advantage. This means that there will be another unfairness.
So, after discussing with the cabinet, Wang Xuejun officially announced that the officials and scholars should take the exam separately.
Officials are called qualification assessment and do not occupy the quota for scholars and imperial examinations.
Wang Xuejun even made an act that shocked the world, which was to openly test questions.
There are two test questions, both of which are policy discussions.
One is about the disaster of fickleness.
One is to discuss the people's taxes without adding taxes and the country's use of football.
Don’t you all specialize in eight-legged essay research? I’ll give you the opportunity to prepare lessons urgently. If you can’t answer or answer well, you can’t blame others.
At the same time, Wang Xuejun once again announced that the chief examiner this time was the emperor and the deputy chief examiner was himself.
Now there is no one's disciple or one's old official.
We are all the real disciples of the emperor, so let’s be honest in our two teachers, the Emperor Xinming, and the Permanent Emperor.
As for the Emperor and Wang Xuejun, no one is interested in cultivating their own power now. Everyone has a share.
This is an almost unconventional imperial examination. Although there are criticisms from all over the world, it is stronger than others. The emperor is of the title and Wang Xuejun is of the knife. Shut up.
During the seven days of the exam, Wang Xuejun gave the students enough treatment.
From the beginning of the marking, you can see the pros and cons.
From all over the country, including northern students who broke through many dangers, plus 500 officials, a total of 3,000 people.
Half of them actually handed in the blank paper.
From the perspective of literary style, southern students tend to talk big, but their writing is gorgeous, but most of them are empty.
The northern style of writing is more pragmatic. In addition, they suffer a lot, and the opinions they write are often more realistic.
In order to demonstrate fairness, Wang Xuejun and the young emperor were once again ingenious. Instead of selecting the top scholar Tanhua and other three-level Jinshi, they directly put 370 test papers selected by the examinees and directly put them on the wall. The candidates in the world commented on them. Then they were given a match or a cross-section under their paper.
Are you dissatisfied? Are you not feeling that you failed because of your lack of ability, but because there is something tricky in the exam?
Then look at yours and compare with these people on the list.
Although there is no first in literature, the level of the art is still obvious.
As a result, the place where the list was posted was crowded day and night, and the lights were brightly lit. Countless students lingered in front of the list, rating their favorite articles.
It took only seven days to stop.
Now, after a hearty personal selection, the students were convinced. In this mentality of having their own real participation, they no longer had resentment and became calm.
In the south and the north, each rely on its ability, so the dispute between the north and the south began to begin.
The list of top scorers with the most matches were closely matched and won the front of the emperor and Wang Xuejun.
The two nervous people looked at each other and then reached out to give in to each other.
To be honest, they dare not solve the puzzle, because this top scorer is the first top scorer in Xinming and an absolute pillar of the country's future.
Although the test paper is good, only a genius knows what kind of character is.
In the end, the emperor was the best. After taking a deep breath, the little emperor slowly tore open the note of the famous name under the attention of all officials with his trembling hands. Kong Wenjie.
Seeing this name, Wang Xuejun's heart skipped a beat. He fled thousands of times, but he still couldn't escape the infiltration of the Kong family.
Now the Kong family is not the rule before. They give an ordinary ranking and it’s all over the place.
Now, I will be the top scorer. How should I use him in the future?
The emperor also breathed a sigh of relief: "After the saint, he is extremely human."
Then the Ministry of Rites brought the list: "Kong Wenjie, whose ancestral home is Shandong, is currently from Jiaocheng, Shanxi——"
As soon as this sentence came out, Wang Xuejun let down his heart and slapped his hands: "The old lady of the Confucius family in Shanxi was the last of her life. She should be as loyal as her father and never forget the Ming family. She should learn from Tao Yuanming, a famous scholar in the Jin Dynasty, and would never bow her back for five dou of rice. Mrs. Confucius said earnestly that their descendants of the Confucius family in Shanxi must have backbone and must not help the barbarians and bully me China. Their son is indeed loyal and righteous."
He doesn't need to say this, all literati in the world know this.
For this reason, the old lady's two sons gave up their talent and stopped their careers in business.
Just when everyone was admiring the old lady's integrity and regretting her second son's loyalty and filial piety.
But unexpectedly, Kong Wenjie traveled thousands of miles to return to the Ming Dynasty, and won the championship in one fell swoop and served the country again. It was a very popular story.
Wang Xuejun struck while the iron was hot: "I also asked the emperor to give the late old lady a posthumous title and become a role model in the world."
The little emperor slapped the table: "The Regent's suggestion is good. How can Mrs. Zhongyi, who is so kind to the Ming Dynasty, not grant me an imperial edict? I will posthumously awarded the title of Lord Kong Hongkai (the first generation ancestor of the Confucius Family in Shanxi), Prince Taibao, and Wen Zhong."
As soon as these words were spoken, the palace was envious.
Wen Zhong and Wu Mu are the most affirmative praise from the ministers.
"I'll give the old lady a first-class imperial edict."
This is already the highest honor for women in this era, except in the palace.
"Give a plaque - Well, what should I write?"
Wang Xuejun immediately stepped forward: "Loyalty and righteousness for thousands of years are role models for generations."
The little emperor clapped his hands: "It's him."
Xu Jie laughed secretly when he heard this: "This is his boss abandoning the Confucius family in Shandong, and putting another Kong family in the hearts of the world."
What made Wang Xuejun most pleased was that these 330 Jinshi were almost all from poor families.
This is the best. In this way, if they become officials in the future, without the huge family background forces behind them, they will not be influenced by the forces behind them.
In the Slender West Lake, a large banquet of Qionglin was held. In front of everyone, the young emperor gave the top scholar Kong Wenjie a red flower, Wang Xuejun brought horses and kicked the horses and rode the horses of Tanhua Zhong Qingyou, and Ding Wang personally served wine for the second-guess high-energy.
Such a gratitude that had never been seen made the three of them communicate with gratitude in tears.
Judging from the situation, they were asked to jump into the lake at that time, but they definitely didn't even take off their shoes - that was really jumping.
The top scholar Kong Wenjie was born in Shanxi, and Zhong Qingyou, Tanhua, was born in Zhejiang; and the second-largest student, happened to be born in Shandong.
This is another balance in the dark, which leaves scholars all over the world with nothing to say.
Of course, the Confucius Family in Shandong was slapped in the face in front of the world because of Xin Mingen's reward. This made the Confucius Family in Shandong even more determined to win the Qing Dynasty. Then I won't mention it here.
Wang Xuejun had no intention of pursuing the matter. When he received the report from the Jinyiwei, he just smiled indifferently: "It will rain, and I want to get married, let them." He just mentioned it and never mentioned it again.
