A storm was brewing in the capital, and the day of the imperial examination finally arrived.
According to the rules of the Hongwu Dynasty,
Before the palace examination, Jinshi from all places must wait for orders in Baohe Hall.
First, the Ministry of Personnel will organize a re-examination.
It is said to be a re-examination, but it is actually a warm-up practice so that these candidates can meet the Holy Master in the most perfect state.
The Song Dynasty reformed the imperial examination and created a roll call in front of the palace.
that is,
No matter what your previous exams were, you will only be qualified to be an official if you are finally recognized by the emperor and your name is read out in the palace.
This is to prevent these talents from becoming the examiner’s disciples.
Those who sing their names in front of the palace are the emperor's disciples.
This is also a manifestation of the strengthening of centralized power.
Hold the world's talented people tightly in the center.
Liu Sanwu looked at these students proudly. These were all the palace examination students selected by him.
As a great scholar who presided over the palace examination,
In this matter, he is the second best to Lord Hong Wu.
Even if there is a roll call in front of the hall, these students in front of them will still remember Liu Sanwu's kindness.
This is nepotism.
As a candidate, you were singled out by Liu Sanwu, so you have to repay the favor.
If you don't return the favor, you will be labeled as ungrateful, and you won't have to hang out in the court in the future.
Owing favors and returning favors is an iron rule that officials must follow.
Only through this process of debt and repayment can human relations and officialdom continue to function.
In other words, these candidates present,
If one day I become an imperial examination examiner,
One quota, two candidates,
One is from an ordinary family, with solid knowledge, a clean background, and far better abilities than others.
The other one is ordinary, but he is Liu Sanwu's descendant.
It’s self-evident who to choose.
With the aristocratic family holding this power, this interest group will only grow bigger and bigger.
There is nepotism everywhere, and it affects the whole body, leaving no room for ordinary people to make progress.
And the so-called imperial examination is just a thought.
A student who can pass the imperial examination from an ordinary family must be smarter, harder working, and have more opportunities than a student from an aristocratic family.
If it's even close, just get out of here.
This is the real feudal dynasty,
People eat people.
Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng are both in their thirties,
One of these two people is the first in Jiangxi's national examination, and the other is the first in Jiangsu's national examination.
I saw two people taking a step forward, representing a group of students,
Saluting Liu Sanwu respectfully,
humbly,
"Sir, students please remember today's kindness."
Liu Sanwu laughed so hard that his beard trembled.
waved his hand and said,
"What's wrong with kindness? I just love talents. You have talents, that's all!
There is nothing else! "
Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng smiled at Liu Sanwu.
Liu Sanwu smiled back,
it is more than words.
One look completes the connection of interests.
How can such a moment be recorded in history books so that future generations can know about it?
It was done too secretly.
However, except for old fritters like Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng,
Most of the other candidates don't know the ins and outs of this.
Their eyes are full of longing for the future, and they are dedicated to using their talents to serve the country.
Everything is of inferior quality, but reading is of high quality.
Now that I have read it, I can be considered as having survived.
It’s time to dedicate your talents and learning to the country.
Liu Sanwu smiled and said,
Seeing that the time was almost up, he said,
"Everyone, please follow me into the palace."
"Yes, sir."
Liu Sanwu led dozens of students out of Baohe Hall.
Walking onto the red carpet that is several hundred meters long, there are rituals and music on both sides of the red carpet.
Inside Fengtian Hall
Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the leaders of various houses coming towards him, looking in a very good mood.
It turned out that Liu Sanwu was much more pleasing to the eye.
Lao Zhu smiled and said,
"This Liu Sanwu is quite upright."
Next to Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon chair, there is another dragon chair, but it is a smaller version.
Originally, when Zhu Biao was the Crown Prince, he stood under the steps facing the ministers.
But now Lao Zhu felt that it was difficult to talk too far away from his eldest grandson, so he simply got a small dragon chair and placed it next to him.
If the eldest grandson wants to come to court, he can sit on the small dragon chair. If he doesn't want to come, the small dragon chair will be empty.
When all the officials saw this, their eyelids twitched wildly in shock.
But I didn't dare to say anything.
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said,
"grandfather,
Liu Sanwu has been studying for decades, so he must be very knowledgeable!
When it's over later, my grandson wants to ask for more advice from him! "
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed happily when he heard this.
said,
“It’s a good thing that our eldest grandson is eager to learn!
It's always good to learn more from others' strengths. Liu Sanwu must be somewhat talented if he can study to this point.
However, we think he is just a rotten scholar.
Grandson, just listen, don’t believe what he says. "
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said,
"Okay, grandpa!"
"So good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but rub Zhu Xiongying's hair. If he hadn't been in the court, he would have pulled him over to caress him.
Zhu Xiongying looked at the officials in the court with a smile, and everyone's expressions could be seen clearly.
Today, not only the usual court officials, but also a large number of academicians entered the palace.
After all, it is the palace examination, which can be regarded as one of the biggest events of the year.
Zhu Xiongying calmly exchanged looks with Yao Guangxiao.
Yao Guangxiao nodded slightly,
He turned around and looked at Liu Sanwu with a half-smile.
Yao Guangxiao first destroyed Buddhism and then Confucianism.
Do you want to ask Yao Guangxiao if he has any hatred for Buddhism and Confucianism?
Yao Guangxiao definitely said no. Not only did he not, Yao Guangxiao also studied it in depth.
As for why we are so active in destroying Buddhism and Confucianism,
Or because it’s interesting.
Except for Zhu Xiongying and Yao Guangxiao,
No one knows what will happen next,
And, everyone has already entered the game.
Just waiting for the moment Liu Sanwu walks into Fengtian Palace!
"Enter the palace!"
Liu Sanwu led a group of candidates into the hall.
Kneel down, kowtow three times and bow nine times,
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"Long live your highness, long live long live!"
Although the Fengtian Hall is not magnificent, it is extremely solemn.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat high on the throne, looking down at the people,
It made these students who stepped into Fengtian Hall for the first time tremble all over.
Excited and scared at the same time.
"Take a seat."
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Liu Sanwu walked into the ranks of officials. Zhu Xiongying noticed that Liu Sanwu's heartbeat was extremely fast.
really,
Men love power, wealth and sex,
Liu Sanwu has a lot of ambition but not enough strength, and the other one is never in need.
So, just focus on gaining power.
In the middle of Fengtian Hall, dozens of desks are placed.
The candidates took their seats one by one.
When Lord Hong Wu comes up with the question, they will have to deal with it in front of the palace.
His Majesty will then personally take a look and judge the top three.
After the candidates took their seats, the hall was silent.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile in his eyes,
Zhu Xiongying stood up in his dragon robe, shook out the imperial edict, and
"According to the Holy Order,
The title of the policy discussion is, Discussing counties and enfeoffments. "
As soon as Zhu Xiongying finished speaking,
There was a burst of exclamation in the court. The local systems of the Central Plains dynasties were nothing more than counties, counties and enfeoffments.
The two are sometimes in opposition and sometimes coexist.
It can be said,
The history of China is hidden in this question.
This is a huge question. Everyone can say a few words.
But if you want to write well,
Very difficult.
