No one dared to take the clerk's words as a casual mention.
The carp can leap over the dragon's gate at the last moment. Who dares to take such a risk unless he is absolutely sure?
Has anyone ever done this in history?
Hey, there really are people who can try the kind of things that are not clear-headed, and I won’t talk about the entrained ones.
There are also many people who take the upper-level route and get the principal exam, deputy chief exam, and exam questions in advance.
For example, in another time and space, Liao Daonan of the Ming Dynasty said in his "Diange Ci Lin Ji": "In the twelfth year of Chenghua, Peng Hua, the official of Zhan, was also a scholar, and Liu Jian, the concubine of the left, was the examiner, and there were powerful families at that time. When choosing a son, if Zhu and Mo don't agree, Hua deposes him. Even those who lose their ambition are willing to do so, and there will be no harm in their death."
What's the meaning?
In the country's highest level examination, there was a discrepancy between the red scroll and the ink scroll.
That means at least the two aspects of copying and inspection are cleared up.
But it is obviously unrealistic for officials in only these two links to be bribed.
If this is really pursued, there will definitely be a long list of arrests.
Did Peng Hua pursue the case?
No, the only thing he was praised by Liao Daonan was for deposing the person who cheated in this subject, and the people behind him didn't even dare to ask.
Think about it, it's really scary.
However, these are trivial matters.
What's really great is that the big shot goes directly to help his nephew cheat.
In the Ming Dynasty in another time and space, when Zhang Juzheng was in power, his son Zhang Sixiu passed the Ding Chou examination and his other son Zhang Maoxiu won the first place in the Gengchen examination. People suspected that Zhang Juzheng took advantage of his power and instigated the chief examiner to do what he did.
An unknown person wrote limericks and posted them where courtiers went to court.
The top two picks all have the surname Zhang.
Literary stars may not shine in Chu State.
If my husband refuses to go,
Rokuro also works as a prostitute.
Sarcasm and sarcasm to the extreme.
Zhang Juzheng was liquidated by Ming Shenzong after his death. This was considered a major crime for him. All his sons were deprived of their status, so there was a saying at that time: "Ding Chou has no eyes, Geng Chen has no head"!
As the first assistant, Zhang Juzheng took a good lead and broke the rules of the examination room. Therefore, the second assistants Lu Tiaoyang, Zhang Siwei, and Shen Shixing also took the opportunity to exercise power and get their sons each a Jinshi.
Compared with Zhang Juzheng's son being the number one and second in the list, it is of course a bit worse, but there is nothing to be done about it. Who told their old official to be inferior to Zhang Juzheng?
That's the rule.
The Ming Dynasty had rules.
Didn’t the Wei Dynasty exist?
Of course it's impossible.
How did Qin Que become a Jinshi?
Why did Qin Yan, his father's first assistant, only want him to be a sixth-grade official in Honglu Temple after he passed the Jinshi examination?
The level is there, put it under the nose, and you have an idle position, others can't see it.
If he were to be released, if something happened, or if someone found out that this Jinshi was a fake, he would be in trouble.
Therefore, in some aspects, Qin Yan in this time and space is much smarter than Zhang Juzheng in another time and space.
Why did Xu He think of this?
Because of this exam, although the uncle didn't say anything, he knew that the pressure on the uncle was still very high.
Every time when the New Year arrives, the officials’ nephews are observed under a magnifying glass.
Naturally, he, Xu He, would not cheat, but he was questioned all the way through the exam.
Although in the end everyone involved knew that Xu He had real talent and learning.
But you have always been number one in the exams along the way, and every time someone questions your number one.
From the perspective of outsiders, this itself is the problem.
Does Xu He’s Xiao Sanyuan and Xie Yuan contain any moisture?
If not, your uncle is a bachelor now. Is there any shady story behind it?
Not only Xu He, but also Xie Liangcai, your father is one of the great nine ministers.
Si Wu’s reminder is by no means aimless.
But I have been hanging out in the Beijing Yamen for a long time, and I am used to talking about half of it and leaving the other half!
After Xu He waited for the clerk to come back, he considered it and asked, "Sir, I have something unclear!"
The clerk quickly smiled and said, "Master, please tell me."
Xu He said: "How can a child from an official family, such as Brother Defu, avoid suspicion during the exam?"
As soon as he said this, the clerk suddenly showed a meaningful smile.
This Mr. Xu is really smart and can understand everything at once.
"You have to be tough to make iron! When someone's talent and knowledge are known to the world, no matter what his status is, even if he wins the top prize, others will have nothing to say!"
When Xu He heard this, he immediately understood.
The same thing happened in the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen is the one who wrote "Rolling Waters of the Yangtze River East".
Yang Shen has been a child prodigy since he was a child. When he grows up, he is extremely talented and everyone knows about him.
Later, this guy won the top pick, and no one questioned his chief assistant, Lao Tzu, or his top pick position.
Isn't this the case that Si Wu mentioned?
"However, things like reputation are the result of accumulation over time, and ordinary people can't achieve it!" Si Wu said with a smile.
"But the official has been watching with cold eyes for these years and found out that there is a way to break the situation!"
Xu He also thanked Liangcai for hearing the words, and immediately said happily: "Please give me some advice."
Every spring, bachelors from the Hanlin Academy and Jijiu from the Imperial Academy will give lectures at the Imperial Academy.
At that time, not only all the prison students in the North Prison will be present.
During the Big Year, juren who are taking exams in Beijing will also attend the lectures.
Xie Liangcai asked curiously: "Listen to the lecture? What's the use?"
The secretary smiled and said: "Although I am listening to the two elders speak the words of the saints, there is also a narrative link at the end. This link is a bit like Buddhist scripture debate! Anyone can go to the altar and talk about anything they want. , ranging from astronomy to geography, as long as you have something in your stomach!"
"But if people have questions or don't agree with what you say, they can also raise questions."
Xie Liang finally understood: "In other words, as long as you can defeat those knowledgeable people in public, no one will question your knowledge anymore!"
Si Wu laughed: "That's right!"
Xu Hexin said, isn't this just a debate competition? No, it should be said that it is Zhuge Liang's verbal battle with the Confucian scholars.
If you want to be awesome, then take it all.
If you want to be defeated by others, you won't be able to get off the stage.
It’s difficult!
But no matter what, I definitely have to attend this kind of grand gathering for scholars. It’s quite interesting to think about it!
Even if you don't go up to debate, you can still benefit a lot from listening to the lectures below.
Sure enough, Xie Liangcai had the same idea.
I didn’t say anything anymore, it seemed like I was definitely going to the Imperial College.
Finally, the secretary explained the examination process and the [subjects] to be examined.
As a scholar coming to Beijing to take the exam, you must know these things.
Several people listened attentively, and Xu He even took out a pen and paper to record it.
During the examination, the secretary talked for most of the day.
Now that I had ordered a banquet, I treated the steward to a meal, wrapped it in a envelope and sent it out.
After the secretary left, several people lost interest in talking, and they all felt that the pressure suddenly appeared.
Okay, just keep studying and wait until you go to the Imperial College!
