Although it hadn't been long since the incident at the Imperial College, when February came, a tense atmosphere suddenly filled the air in the capital.
The ninth day of the Lunar New Year is the day for the test. No matter how ambitious the scholar is, he will not go out for a walk at this time.
Xu He and others lived in the courtyard. Apart from reading and writing, they also listened to lectures by Xie Kun who occasionally came to the courtyard.
In fact, at Xu He's level, Xie Kun didn't have much to teach him about exam preparation.
In addition to helping them sort out the test points, the other thing is to predict the test questions.
The examiner of this subject is Wu Xingbang, who always keeps a low profile.
Therefore, Ouyang Jun guessed that the test questions must be fair and neutral, and in his opinion, the answers should naturally not contain any extreme remarks.
Xu He didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that since Wu Xingbang was inclined towards Xinxue, it meant that under his calm appearance, he actually lurked apostasy.
Such a person, who can catch his eye, should be someone who appears to be impartial and has a loud voice, but in reality, he has hidden turbulence, danger and danger, and he likes him with his ability to speak out.
But then I thought about it.
Why does Wu Xingbang look like a good gentleman in the eyes of the world?
That's because people can pretend.
How could someone who is so good at pretending show his weakness in such a [trivial matter]?
"Brother Ke Yong is right. During the examination, you must not make any independent remarks!" Xu He agreed.
Ouyang Jun thought that his prediction was recognized by Xu He, and he was very happy.
But Xie Liangcai on the side smiled meaningfully.
Xu He would naturally not hide anything from him. Besides, there was no need to hide it from him.
Just when Xu He told Xie Liangcai about the Honghua Club, he knew that he had already known about it, and there was no surprise on his face at all.
Only then did Xu He remember, who was Xie Daozhi?
He is also a big boss from Southern Zhili.
And in the position of Da Jiuqing, how could Wu Xingbang miss this one.
Xu He was very curious about Xie Daozhi's position.
Who would have thought that Xie Daozhi was not from Honghua Club either.
He didn't even join Jingyan Caotang.
In Xie Liangcai's retelling of his father's words: "I hate cliques the most in my life. The country has been ruined in the hands of these people. The Honghua Society and the Jingyan Thatched Cottage are all cloaked in the guise of knowledge, but in fact they are tools for the same party to oppose different people. I will never join." !”
When Xu He heard that Xie Daozhi was so tough, he admired his uncle and admired him.
Good guy, who knows, Xie Liangcai said again: "My father told Wu Cifu that he yearns for it, but he can't learn enough..."
All right! I thought Lord Si Qing was a straight man, but in the end he turned out to be a gentle man!
…
The imperial court had strict regulations on the candidate qualifications and registration procedures for the Wei Dynasty examination.
Anyone who is qualified to participate in the examination must first submit an application letter to the prefecture and county.
Then the prefecture and county submit it to the government, and the prefecture reports to the province. The prefectures and counties of Shuntian Prefecture and Yingtian Prefecture submit it to the prefectural governor. After approval, the provincial government will still issue it to the prefecture and county and hand it over to the person for collection.
This is called "public ownership".
With this thing, the government will pay the candidates travel expenses according to the distance traveled.
After arriving in Beijing, candidates must submit the Provincial Examination Text Submission to the Ministry of Ceremonies to apply for the examination. This step is to determine your qualifications for the examination and prepare printed examination papers on a per capita basis.
When Juren travels from his hometown to the capital, there are inns along the way to provide transportation by car and boat. This is called "providing leg power" and is also called a bus.
He was asked to take the bus again because he was going to take the exam.
This term comes from the Han Dynasty. According to the Han system, public buses were used to pick up and drop off candidates.
So in another time and space, Kang Nanhai led the people to make trouble, which was called "letting a letter on the bus". The source is here.
In addition to Wu Xingbang, the chief examiner for this examination was Qiu Teng, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the official minister.
There are usually two examiners in the examination. The examiners are basically bachelors in the Hanlin Academy, bachelors in the Imperial Academy, bachelors in the imperial examinations, bachelors in the imperial examinations, bachelors in the imperial examinations, editors, compilers, editors, etc. Selected among Chunfang, Grand Master and other officials.
One of the two chief examiners must be a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and concurrently serve as minister of various ministries or Taichang Qing.
However, after arriving at Yingzong, the chief examiner was usually a bachelor, and sometimes two bachelors would even serve together.
But this subject is interesting.
According to common sense, Qin Yan and Xia Yangqiu were the examiners for the previous subject, and it should be Wu Xingbang and Xu Song's turn for this subject.
But the amazing thing is that Xu Song was not appointed by the emperor to be the chief examiner.
Xu Song took office late, and such an important matter as taking charge of the general examination should have been decided long ago.
Therefore, it is understandable that Xu Song was not selected as the main examiner.
But Qin Yan was not selected as the main examiner, which surprised many people.
And no one stipulates that if it was him in the previous subject, it cannot be him in this subject.
The emperor changed Qin Yan's name, but chose Qiu Teng. This is very thought-provoking.
That's right, Qiu Teng, as a bachelor of the Academy, the head of the Hanlin Academy, and with the title of Minister of Rites, is definitely qualified to be the examiner.
But the key point is that the Wei Dynasty has not had two main exams for many years, and one of them is not a bachelor.
Does that mean that in the emperor's heart, Qin Yan has...
Rumors about Qin Yan's loss of the Sacred Heart have been rampant in the capital recently.
However, soon, the emperor personally issued a decree and rewarded Qin Yan with something in the name of his hard work and merit. Only then did the rumors in the capital gradually disappear!
Of course, in addition to the emperor's decree, what reassured everyone was that Qin Que, Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, served as the deacon of the Jinke Examination.
The positions and responsibilities of the deacons in the joint examination are roughly the same as those in the rural examination, but the official rank is much higher than that in the rural examination. After all, it is the highest level examination in the Wei Dynasty.
Of course, as Qin Que, he was definitely not qualified to be the chief promotion officer and also the tribute promotion officer.
This should have been the position of Qiu Teng, the Minister of Rites, but now that Qiu Teng has become the president, this position has been taken by the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.
The supervisory officer is also a dedicated position for supervisory system officials.
In the end, Qin Que only got one official named Dangdang.
The examination method in the Great Wei Dynasty was similar to the provincial examination, but there were still some differences.
There are three exams in total, each taking one day, on the ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth days of February.
Two days before the exam, a seating chart will be posted, and the seats will be arranged according to the order of reporting. This is very different from the provincial exam.
Another difference is that in the early morning of the exam day, candidates are asked to "click on each name one by one, examine Saito, and conduct a detailed inspection." However, this is limited to lifting your hair scarf and feeling for any contaminated feces on your body. Can.
There is no need to take off your clothes and expose your body, which may damage your morale.
The examination papers were printed by the Ministry of Rites, but the examiner had not yet announced the examination questions. However, the person who printed the examination papers from the Ministry of Rites, as well as all the officials and staff related to the examination, had already entered the examination room and had to lock down the examination room.
Juren must prepare his own pen, ink and inkstone. Each cursive scroll and the main scroll have twelve pages each. The name, year, place of birth, third generation, and classics are written in the first part. The fonts must be regular script, cursive script and other styles.
Moreover, there is a sergeant guarding each Juren! The kind that stares hard.
In short, there are many rules. In the last two days, Xu He and the others were not reviewing books at all, but checking the [Notes] written to them by the secretary of Dali Temple!
Let’s just say, can this not make people nervous?
