Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 1: Traveling Through Time And Becoming An Imperial Examination Examiner, The Opening Test Qu

Chapter 1: Traveling through time and becoming an imperial examination examiner, were the opening test questions leaked?

Hongwu period.

After Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he followed the old system and stabilized the imperial power.

Now the government is stable and people all over the world live and work in peace and contentment.

At that time, the imperial court held the imperial examination.

Countless students rushed to the capital to take the exam.

In February spring, poplar catkins are flying.

The Gongyuan was guarded by layers of soldiers wearing strong armor.

Their eyes were sharp, their bodies were full of iron-blooded aura, and they were extremely majestic.

In the middle of the Gongyuan gate hangs a black-lettered plaque with "Gongyuan".

There are three archways between the east and west gates.

"Selecting scholars through clear scriptures".

"Seeking talents for the country."

"Heaven opens the destiny of literature".

The courtyard has a court hall, rooms for officials such as censors and examiners, and rooms used for recording and receiving papers. There are watchtowers at the four corners of the courtyard, which can monitor the inside and outside of the Gongyuan to prevent cheating by students.

Students, wearing square scarves and special robes, lined up at the gate of Gongyuan, waiting for inspection.

"Next!"

The sergeant wearing armor, with a square face and an upright attitude shouted.

The student came forward and handed over his baggage.

After the officials checked the baggage and clothes, they found that there were pickles, flatbreads and other food inside, and there were no problems with the clothes.

He nodded.

The sergeant let him go.

"Go on, next one."

Officials conducted entrance searches on students in an orderly manner. The entrance search for the general examination was not as strict as that for the provincial examination.

Most of them are routine matters. After all, these students are all candidates and may have official positions. Naturally, they have to give these students the corresponding respect.

In the Gongyuan, there is the examiner's living room.

"There are more Spring Examination candidates this year than in previous years. I don't know if any candidates will write outstanding essays this year."

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to the imperial examination, so he specially ordered Mr. Liu Sanwu to personally supervise the examination. I hope there will be no accidents this spring."

"Your Majesty has always hated corruption. If there is a problem, I am afraid that all of us, the examiners, will lose our lives, not mentioning Mr. Liu Sanwu."

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense!"

...

The sound of other people talking could be heard in Ye Xuan's ears. The chatter was like mosquitoes buzzing in his ears.

He had trouble sleeping.

"It's so noisy..."

"Le" hasn't been said yet.

Ye Xuan opened his eyes and saw the scene clearly.

The antique buildings came into view, and the sense of history that hit him made him speechless.

This is obviously the hall.

There are plaques, calligraphy and paintings, couplets, etc. hanging on the surrounding walls and pillars.

There are seats on both sides.

And he was sitting on one of the seats.

Ye Xuan raised his head and looked around, his pupils dilated.

what's the situation?

Several examiners wearing beam crowns, red and cyan official robes, and bearded examiners were standing nearby and talking.

They didn't notice anything strange about Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan felt a strong sense of disobedience.

What on earth is going on? Am I not staying up late and working overtime?

How did you get here?

mischief?

Tricky?

Or should I say, time travel! ?

Ye Xuan looked down at his clothes. He was wearing a scarlet crew-neck shirt and a belt.

The scarlet crew-neck shirt has white pheasants embroidered on it.

He touched his head, which was covered with a black gauze hat.

A string of memories flowed into Ye Xuan's mind.

From his memory, Ye Xuan learned that he had traveled through time and became an examiner for the current imperial examination. He was a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, holding a fifth-grade official position.

The fifth rank is equivalent to department-level officials in modern times.

The Qianhu of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty were only of the fifth rank.

The original person was in his twenties and already at the fifth level.

It can be said that the future is promising.

"After time-travelers cross over, they have all kinds of strange professions. I didn't dress up as a beggar or a poor person, but as a promising official of the fifth rank. This starting point has surpassed 99.9% of the time-travelers."

Ye Xuan is very satisfied with his official position.

After all, time travel is risky these days. If you travel to ancient times, you will become a beggar, a refugee, a poor person, etc., without enough food and clothing, and it will be difficult to survive.

The living environment in ancient times was thousands of times harsher than in modern times.

In modern times, if you want to live, you only need to work and make money to be satisfied with your life.

In ancient times, there were so few ways to make money, transportation was inconvenient, and all aspects of life and diet were not as convenient as modern times, making it difficult to survive.

Ye Xuan was glad that he had become a high-ranking official of the fifth rank, instead of some hell-level start.

What a doomsday start with a dog and a gun.

This kind of start is simply a death start for ordinary people like Ye Xuan.

"Those who travel through time must be equipped with golden fingers."

"Then what is my golden finger?"

Ye Xuan is eagerly looking forward to it.

With the golden finger, he can advance in the officialdom without any hindrance, and he can easily obtain power, money, fame, wealth, beauty, etc. whatever he wants!

Thus reaching the peak of life, marrying Bai Fumei and becoming CEO!

"Ding!"

"System loading..."

"1%......"

"5%..."

"15%..."

...

"100%!"

"The system is loaded!"

"The reputation value system is at your service!"

"Reputation system?"

Ye Xuan learned about the system through the system, and then learned how to play the reputation value system... How to use it. The greater your influence and reputation, the more reputation points you have. You can use your reputation points to draw draws and receive system rewards. .

Ye Xuan was extremely excited.

As long as you improve your influence and reputation, you can win the reputation points draw and get rewards!

If the system rewards superpowers, immortal cultivation techniques, and various magical props, he will definitely benefit a lot.

Even if the system only rewards modern items.

Soap, mirrors, glasses, etc.

He can also play with these modern items and sell them for sky-high prices.

I believe that those rich and powerful families will be very rare for such rare items.

He can also use these modern items to fool this group of ancient people who have little knowledge.

"However, how can we improve our influence and reputation?"

Ye Xuan held his chin in thought.

This is a difficult problem.

At this moment, a soldier wearing armor and a sword hanging from his waist hurriedly walked in.

"Sir, Mr. Liu, please invite some of you to go to the meeting hall!"

The Master Liu mentioned by this soldier refers to Liu Sanwu, the examiner of this year's imperial examination.

Liu Sanwu is a Hanlin bachelor.

There are records in history that he once published the three-subject method for selecting scholars. Zhu Yuanzhang often asked him for advice on how to govern the country and select talents. He was the master of the compilation of imperial classics such as "Huanyu Tongzhi" and "Collection of Rites and Systems".

Liu Sanwu became famous because of the North-Nan Bang case.

The Nanbeibang case is also known as the Liu Sanwu fraud case.

It was the biggest fraud incident during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

Fifty-one candidates were all from the South.

One northerner was not admitted.

This incident made everyone in the north dissatisfied.

People from the north jointly filed a lawsuit against Liu Sanwu and other examiners.

Partially Southern.

Liu Sanwu ended up sitting on the edge guarding the border.

Ye Xuan looked at the anxious soldiers, his right eyelid twitching, his intuition told him that something bad had happened.

And soon, Ye Xuan knew what happened.

The test questions for this year’s imperial examination have been leaked! ! !
