Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

After the last batch of candidates left the hall, all the test papers were assigned to the examiner. Because of the saving of copying, the examinee's own handwriting was presented to the examiner. Therefore, in addition to the essay, the font of the test taker has become a very important part of the scoring: those with too few words will not read it, and they will directly enter the third grade; those with too much smearing and unclear handwriting will be regarded as the second. In the third class; only the rolls and articles are good in order to enter the first class.

Yin Shoufu read the entire paper, and the twelve excellent papers sent by Hanlin, the Chayuan and Jiuqing were all piled up on his desk early the next morning. Yin Zhi read them one by one, first picking up half of those who were too daring to speak up, and then placed it on the top of the second list roll, and then took the rest to read with the three old patrons.

His self-confidence Cui Xie must be in these rolls and will push these to the forefront of the second class. This saved Wan Shoufu's dissatisfaction when seeing the papers, and did not lose sight of the entrustment of the **** Tan that day, asking Cui Xie to take a scholarship background, and the emperor would not be dissatisfied.

It is a pity that judging from the papers, the students in the subject he caught up were too straightforward and not mature enough. It is hard to say that in the future there will be a few who can be trained and used to drive him. Far inferior to the honest governors who were selected in the previous few sessions of the three veterans, Wan, Liu and Peng, who presided over the spring test...

No, Wan Ge Lao Na Ke is not very clean.

Not only was Wu Kuan who made trouble for him during the examination of this subject and recommended Li Dongyang’s disciple to be Huiyuan, and there was also a back house who did not repair his house, who indulged a woman to frame the imperial court official, forcing Wan Shoufu and Dongliu to bother him. Cui Que, who committed suicide.

That Cui Que!

That Cui Que was the subject who asked him to mistakenly take Huiyuan, the biological father of Li Dongyang's disciple! The two masters and the three elders of the cabinet were harmed by one person. This person is unprecedented!

The grievances deepened in his heart, and he quietly pressed down the test papers that were suspected of Cui Xie's work, so as not to give him a chance to click on the second one.

The second-class test papers are arranged here. The three of Wanan and others have read six articles, and took three of them that are worthy of sending to the imperial front. They circled the circle of Zhu, and gave him an overview of the overall situation with the remaining three. The examiner looked over. Yin Zhi has read all of these papers, and which one of the thirty or fifty middle-level test candidates is in the top twelve is not a good one? Even if there is a difference, it is only a tiny bit of a moment, and he has nothing to disapprove of who can ask the three elders to join hands.

He took three copies of the papers selected as the first one and looked at it, and saw that one was on "the emperor's imperial imperialism must be the body of heaven and the heart of heaven, and the ministers must be served by heaven." "Benevolence and wisdom must each other"; one is about "the ruler should hold the power of the world to rule by doing nothing, and the ministers should make great achievements in the future." When he read the three articles, he felt that the writing was the most elegant and elegant, the analysis was accurate, and there was something to say... The most important thing is that there are no admonitions that do not claim their identity.

He nodded slightly, pressed the remaining four papers onto the top of the second-class paper pile, and sorted out the third-class papers. Only the first one was placed on the plate. The four old patrons went to Wenhua Hall to see. This day was the time to choose the top three Jinshi, the emperor Chenghua no longer loved to see foreign ministers, and he would inevitably visit the Wenhua Hall and meet the four senior patrons.

The four of them had finished their salutes, and Yin Zhi, Wan An, and Liu Ji each held a volume, and read them in turn before the imperial court.

"Courier pair: the minister hears that the man and the ruler take the place of the heavens and the things, always hold the world's power to govern by doing nothing, and the men and the ministers take the place of the monarch to coordinate, and tomorrow will be the big points for the construction of the bandit..."

"Chen's pair: Chen Wen is the emperor's imperial dynasty, and he can maintain the heart of the monarchy, and then he can build the cause of long-term peace and long-term governance. The Su Chen can be used to serve the heaven, and then he can be a meritorious service..."

"Civil pair: The emperor's imperial court must be both civil and military, and then the rule of the world must be followed. The rule of the world must be based on humanity and wisdom..."

The emperor Chenghua sat on the top and listened to the three bachelors reciting the examination papers in a loud and sonorous voice.

The third part focuses on the strategy of rewards and punishments, and talks less about how to promote talents, so it is biased to use but loses the body, and the end is more important than the original. The answer is not as comprehensive as the first two.

In the first two articles, the selection, rewards and punishments are balanced, but the classics quoted in the article are also different: the second quoted allusions are few and precise, such as the Tang Dynasty's test of the human policy, and the Han Dynasty's Feng Neihou. They all refer to the previous administrations, which can be mirrored for today, and the methods of raising materials and investigating are also available in detail. Although the allusions cited in the first article are far more than those in the second article, they often use the example of the famous ministers of the former court to rule the court by one person, but it is not comprehensive enough.

And among the three, the second is the most harmonious with the melody, the tones are undulating, and the accents are intricate, and there is a faint chanting sound. It is read by the beautiful eyebrows and the loud and clear voice of the first assistant Wan An. People read better.

Of course, this is definitely not because the second article praised him as being the most hard-working than Tang Yu and Yuan Mai Zhou Xuan, and pushing the internal and external troubles to the ministers and ministers to make the most clean, not because this article only boasted at the conclusion. He "respects the heaven and the father" does not think that he still needs to "hold the heart with nothing" and "respect the nothing".

The emperor had already arranged the ranking in his mind, and when Peng Hua finished reading the last sentence of "The Minister is sincere," he ordered the **** Tan to take three papers and personally read it.

The three texts are all the same neat and beautiful, the whole text is clean, there is no smearing, only a series of red circles next to the title, it is pleasing to look at. Choosing three such talented and politically wise scholars will be left to future generations. It can be regarded as the last group of wise ministers he left for Daming during his twenty-three years as a king.

Although there are some tinea and scabies in Jiubianwai, the junior high school is generally considered to be peaceful, and he has regained a lot of the lost land of the British temple in the past, and there are many talents left by him in the court... The world is prosperous, he is also considered to have not lost the legacy of the Lie ancestor. Nearly a thousand years, Khan is in the annals of history, and those who write history should also record him as the master of the generation.

And now that the prince’s wedding has been decided, he can reunite with Zhen’er in heaven...

Emperor Cheng Hua thought of the prince, and couldn't help but think of the wise ministers he planned to leave to the prince. He looked down at several bachelors and asked slowly: "Yes, Cui Xie's paper?"

No, it has been stuffed into the second one. Is it possible that the emperor is still dissatisfied with these three papers, and insists that the student Li Dongyang enters the top one?

Although he said that Cheng'en had been in attendance a few times, he hadn't reached the point where he could make the emperor appreciate it so much, right?

With thoughts in his mind, Yin Zhi bowed his hands and asked graciously, "Your Majesty is going to take his papers immediately and compare them with these three articles? Or do you want to open these three first, and set the top rank, to be removed. After taking the name of the Ersanjia paper, then take his paper..."In the forefront?

The emperor has been in power for 23 years. He is fair and unbiased. He didn't intend to break the rules for a slightly favorite Cui Xie. He just said: "Tell them to open the seal according to the law. One thing."

The **** Tan Chang led the order, and the eunuch, the eunuch, went out to pass the eunuchs to unpack the papers, copy the name stickers, and wait for the emperor's imperial view.

And Yin Zhi also went to the duty room where the head of the two hospitals and Jiuqing were, and passed on the meaning of the emperor from generation to generation, asking them to quickly open the seal and find Cui Xie's papers to submit.

Although the emperor himself said that he would come by the system, but they can get into the cabinet, which one is not good at keeping the emperor of heaven, and who would dare to let the emperor follow the rules and wait for the paper? When ranking, because the emperor had already mentioned Cui Xie’s name, the examiners had to be a little conscious. Whoever dismantles him should take it out and mention it. You can’t wait for the emperor to feel dissatisfied after reading the list and personally change him. Ranking.

He hurriedly arranged the following matters, and then personally announced the ranking to Fengtian Temple.

But for some reason, when he entered the temple, the Wan Shou Fu, who was standing by the table, looked at the paper blankly. Even Liu and Peng's polite faces also hide a strange look, as if they didn't really want to see it. It's like a paper.

As the examiner, Yin Zhi wanted to roll the three opened papers in front of the holy, so he didn't have much time to ponder what happened to them. He stepped forward to salute, then went to take the first paper written by the emperor, unfolded the scroll and looked at the name and birthplace, and three generations that have been sealed on the front of the scroll-

Then his throat also seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't pronounce the name.

The emperor frowned unhappily and motioned to the **** to urge him to roll his name. Eunuch Tan, who had just returned from the announcement, ran down from the throne, walked to him in person, called out "Yin Xueshi" loudly, his eyes were swept across the scroll, and he clearly saw the writing on the front of the scroll. Those two words.

Choi Xie.

A native of Qian'an County in Yongping Prefecture, he was born in a country. Zu Cuiyu, Minren, father Cui Que, and Zuo, the Chief Secretary of Yunnan, participated in the discussion.

How familiar is this name, I have heard it more than once in the palace, and it is not a strange name, why is this old Yin Ge unable to pronounce it?

He glanced at Yin Zhi strangely. At this time, Yin Zhi seemed to have recovered. He glanced at him gratefully. He bowed and recited the name of the champion chosen by the emperor: "Beijing Zhili Yongping Prefecture Qian'an County Government Cui Xie."

At this moment, even the emperor was a little surprised: "What? He is actually the champion?"

In the emperor’s heart, he still remembered that he was stubbornly squeezing the appearance of a poetic response poem. In just two years, his papers were selected by several Zaifu and sent to Fengtian Hall, and he was also admired by himself. No. 1 pick?

It's no wonder that the gentlemen are all surprised, and the champion of this subject is also young!

Seeing the emperor also seemed to have an emotional meaning, Wan Shoufu couldn't help but take advantage of this last opportunity to persuade him: "The minister sees that the age of Cui Xie's paper is only nineteen this year. It is too young. The minister is afraid of his mind. Undecided and under-study, if you bear the name of the champion at the uncredited age, you will easily become arrogant and lazy. If the saint loves the young, it is better to..."

How could the emperor Chenghua be the one waiting to change his rank according to his own preferences? During the Hongwu and Yongle reigns, some candidates were mentioned as champions because of the emperor’s thoughts, but they were selected by the two ancestors who were inspired by the heavens. In the twenty-three years of his reign, he never personally interfered with the talent ceremony. thing!

If your husband’s country chooses scholars, it must be based on the article. If the article is good and cannot be chosen as the champion, what do these examiners do!

He squinted slightly and looked at Yin Zhi: "Read it again, second place."

Wan Shoufu was silent immediately, not daring to speak directly. Elder Yin Ge relied on trying to figure out the power of the heavens. Seeing that the emperor was unhappy, he could no longer care about others. He said, "Second place, Jiangxi Guangxin Prefecture Qianshan County, Fei Hong." Without waiting for the emperor's urging, he fetched the third paper and said: "The third place is Liu Chun, Ba County, Chongqing Fu, Sichuan."

Fei Hong's name sounded a bit familiar, the emperor cast a straight look at Yin and asked "Who is Fei Hong?" After asking, I suddenly remembered that he seemed to be a student of the Imperial College who was accompanying the prince to take the exam. He seemed to be a young Xieyuan, and he asked, "The two, how old?"

Fei Hong was twenty this year, and Liu Chun was twenty-eight. One was in Beijing Guozijian and the other was Nanjian. Both were very young and promising talents.

After Yin Zhi answered Fei Hong's identity and the age of the two, the **** Tan next to him congratulated the emperor again and again, and the emperor He and the court won three outstanding young talents. The senior **** was unwilling to say: "Today, the younger the three, the younger the more talented, the younger the more talented. It can be seen that my Ming student generation is stronger than the next generation, and I will be regarded as a full house in the future. It is even better than in the Taizu period. In the future, these young scholars will be able to assist the emperor for seven or eighty years, and they will be able to respond to today’s emperor’s appointment."

Although the emperor didn’t care how many years he was emperor, he made him amused and nodded, warmly comforting Wan Shoufu who had just lost face in the temple by him: "Jinke, gentlemen, can be described as winning people. .Mr. Wan, reading papers is especially good."

Wan Shoufu bowed his head heavily, bowed his hands in thankfulness, and concealed his complicated mood in Gao Lang's gratitude.
