Hanlin bachelor's degree is made in-house.
Shirenyuan knew that imperial edicts were made externally.
In the Song Dynasty, the two systems of officials were extremely important. If there were two governments, they must be derived from the two systems, and the two systems must be derived from the pavilions. The pavilion is the place where the prime minister can cultivate his talents.
Now the ministers of the two systems are discussing the rankings of this system examination.
The system of subjects must be recommended by two ministers, and more than thirty people were recommended this time.
However, these thirty or so people are not able to directly participate in the Secret Pavilion Examination. Two officials are required to screen out suitable candidates through the examination papers submitted by the thirty or so people.
Nominations are given first, followed by a two-step screening process, then the Six Secret Pavilion Examinations, which are as difficult as climbing to heaven, and finally the Imperial Examinations, which are conducted by the Emperor himself.
Since the Song Dynasty opened the subject, only more than thirty candidates were admitted, and Emperor Renzong only admitted twelve during his more than 40 years of reign. In the end, the candidates who were admitted to the subject passed through each level one after another.
Now the ministers of the two systems are sifting through the papers.
External makers include Zu Wu Zai, Hu Su, Wang Anshi, Zhang Gui, Shen Yu and Wu Kui.
But it is said that Wang Anzhizhizhizhizhi is also a new order.
When the official asked Wang Anshi to repair the daily life, he kept saying that I really didn't want to do it. You send someone to deliver the edict to me, and I have to hide in the toilet.
Here he and Fu Bi kept saying, "I want to serve as an official abroad. I am not accustomed to the local environment in Beijing, so I want to go abroad to serve as an official."
However, after receiving the imperial edict, Wang Anshi actually refused and suddenly adapted to the environment in Bianjing.
This is also unexpected.
The internal controls are Wang Gui, Jia An, Cai Xiang, and Fan Zhen.
These people are all great writers in the Song Dynasty, and they are also the future prime ministers. Now we have to screen out suitable candidates from more than thirty people.
Fan Zhen was the first to speak: "I recommend Su Shi, Su Che and I are first and second, Zhang Yue is third, and the rest are just that."
Everyone thinks that Fan Gong and Er Su are fellow villagers. Is it selfish to recommend these two fellow villagers as the first and second in the examination? As for Zhang Yue, he heard that during the previous provincial examination, Fan Zhen planned to screen out the other party, but who knew that Fan Zhen's daughter would be Zhang Yue's future sister-in-law.
As soon as the Wu family spoke, Fan Zhen's daughter went back to her parents' house crying and talked for a long time. Later, she heard that Fan Zhen asked Fan Zuyu to bring a personal letter to Zhang Yue.
These things are spread by noses and eyes, and no one knows whether they are true or false.
Everyone discussed for a while.
Wu Kui also said: "I agree with Fan Gong's opinion. In addition, Wang Kui and Wang Jie can also be born."
Zhang Gui also agreed with Wu Kui's opinion.
At this moment, Zu Wuze spoke up. They recommended the rankings as follows: Su Shi, Wang Kui, Zhang Yue, Su Che, and Wang Jie.
When Wang Anshi came forward, he recommended Wang Jie, Wang Kui, and Zhang Yue. As for Er Su, he could also be selected, but he should be ranked lower.
After hearing this, everyone wondered, could it be that you, Wang Anshi, also have selfish motives? Who is this Wang Jie? Wang Anshi's close friend, the two had a close relationship.
Wang Anshi went too far in recommending Wang Jie.
Jia An said aloud: "I think Zhang Yue can be the first, I don't care about the rest."
Shen Yuan and Hu Su also came forward to think that Zhang Yue was first, Ersu was second and third, and the others were not counted.
In the end, only Wang Gui, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, remained silent.
Wang Gui summed it up and said: "Brothers Ju Zhangyue, Wang Kui, Wang Jie, Su Shi and Su Zhe are the five most recommended. I think there is no point in letting them go to the Secret Pavilion for the Sixth Examination."
Everyone discussed it and agreed.
More than thirty scholars were selected by the Minister of Two Systems and finally five were shortlisted.
However, the rankings have to be finalized.
There are three rankings for the system subjects, once for the entrance examination, once for the Secret Examination, and once for the Royal Examination, and finally the results are determined comprehensively.
In the end, Zhang Yue, Su Shi, and Su Che were ranked first, while Wang Kui and Wang Jie were ranked second and presented to the emperor.
Among them, Su Shi originally wanted to be ranked first, and Zhang Yue and Su Che were ranked second. However, Wang Anshi and several others objected, and these three talents were combined into the first rank.
Although there are rumors that Zhang Yue's articles are not of the highest quality, every official present who is not a well-educated Confucian scholar and has a thorough understanding of classics and history can see the beauty of Zhang Yue's writing.
Finally, the imperial court wrote to Ersu who was in Huaiyuan Post, Zhang Yue from Daxingguo Temple, Wang Kui from Daxiangguo Temple, and Wang Jie who lived in Chaojiyuan.
In June, strange phenomena such as a solar eclipse appeared in the sky over Bianjing.
The emperor once again resurrected Fu Bi as a bachelor of Zhaowen Guan.
Fu Bi refused to accept his words. In the event of a funeral in power, the payment must be made, but Fu Bi said that the golden revolution and ritual changes should not be used in times of peace and prosperity. The officials sent envoys five times to invite Fu Bi to come out of the mountain, but Fu Bi was unwilling.
Officials in the court successively invited Han Qi to serve as Zhaowen Prime Minister.
Han Qi did not refuse, saying that I would ascend the throne as soon as the emperor allowed him to do so.
At this time, there were rumors in the government and the public that when Han Qi and Fu Bi were discussing the return of the prime minister in the political hall, Han Qi deliberately said in front of Fu Bi that this was not a grand ceremony of the imperial court.
There were rumors in the court that Fu Bi and Han Qi were at odds.
After Fu Bi's son-in-law Feng Jing returned to Beijing, he did not see Han Qi for several months. But Fu Bi asked Feng Jing to visit Han Mansion, and this resolved the misunderstanding.
Everyone praised Fu Bi for his patience and his virtuous character. Han Qi is an example of a capable minister in his duties.
However, before Han Qi became Prime Minister Zhao Wen, he was slapped in the face. The slap in the face was none other than Wang Anshi.
But as soon as Wang Anshi learned about the imperial edict, he issued an edict saying that Sherenyuan would not be allowed to apply for alteration of the text (imperial edict) in the future.
Wang Anshi was not ambiguous at all. When the new official took office, he wrote an article to express his opposition, saying that it is the responsibility of foreign companies to change the text, and you cannot deprive us of our rights.
Wang Anshi said in his Shangshu: "It is because it was established by the ministers in power and will not be changed. This means that your majesty will no longer question the rights and wrongs of justice, and will just obey what the ministers in power do."
This is no longer an insinuation of criticism, but equivalent to pointing at Han Qi's nose and scolding him.
Wang Anshi and Han Qi couldn't get along. From then on, the two simply didn't even say hello when they met.
At this time, some people speculated whether Wang Anshi's repeated disparagement of Er Su in the system was because Er Su was recommended by Han Qi, so he took revenge in a selfish way. As for why Wang Kui was repeatedly recommended by the imperial trial department, could it be because he was Fu Bi's grand-niece and grandson-in-law.
If Wang Anshi really thought so, then he was really on the wrong team between Han Qi and Fu Bi.
After Wang Anshi's good friend Sima Guang learned that he was remonstrating with the court, he repeatedly expressed his sincerity on matters. The officials not only accepted them one by one, but also made his presence felt in the official circles of the Song Dynasty.
At the same time, Su Che, who was taking the system examination together with Zhang Yue and Wang Kui, suddenly fell ill and was unable to take the exam.
Han Qi personally went to court and asked Su Che and Zhang Yue to do the same and decline the date of the scientific examination to show the court's intention to value the virtuous.
The officials agreed to Han Qi's proposal and postponed the examination, which was originally scheduled for July, to August.
For a while, the system-related examinations were not started, but Zhang Yue and Su Che postponed the examination twice, which made the officials and people in Bianjing full of expectations for the system-related examinations.
Ersu was already well-known in Bianjing. As for Zhang Yue, Wang Kui was also a leader in this subject, and there was another Wang Jie who was also a well-educated scholar.
How many of these five people can be admitted? Who can get the imperial title? Even into the third class?
Time flies by to August 17, the day of the Zhike Secret Pavilion exam.
