Zhang Songshan left the palace together with the prospective Jinshi, and then dispersed in all directions. Zhang Songshan and several friends from the same hometown.
"The king's intention is very obvious. If you go to Sushun, you will have a good future. I am also ready to make a move. But unfortunately, I am afraid of the storm on the sea, and even more afraid of the Meng Yuan soldiers on the Sushun side. If there is less of these two dangers, maybe I Just went."
Chen Yongjia sighed, shook his head and said.
"Who says otherwise? Moreover, fighting is a matter for soldiers, and going to sea is a matter for merchants. We scholars are destined to be Jinshi and officials in the future. Your Majesty, for us..."
Xu Changchun sighed, became silent at the end, and shook his head.
Although he didn't say it, everyone knew it.
Your Majesty is too harsh on us.
These fellow villagers have different compositions. Some of them come from generations of scholarly families, that is, they are country squires.
Zhang Songshan also came from a scholarly family, but he was one of those who fled to Chu State and came back after the Liaodong War.
At that time, Chu State planned to let these people destroy the unity of Han State.
Wu Nian killed many of the leaders and exiled many others. Zhang Songshan was unaware of Chu's conspiracy and was not affected.
And there are not a few people like him. There are also many people who can take the exam and become quasi-jinshi.
They were all worried. After talking for a while, Chen Yongjia suggested going to Deyi Building for lunch. Obtain everyone's consent.
They ate, listened to music, and had lunch and dinner together
Drunk and staggering, he returned to the inn. Early the next morning. They had a simple breakfast and then went to wait in front of the imperial list.
There are countless people like them.
All the prospective Jinshis were present.
Some failed candidates, students from the Imperial College and Sun Zi Jian, as well as local scholars and scholars from Jiang County came to join in the fun.
For a time, there were many people in front of the Imperial List and it was very lively.
Soon after, officials from the Ministry of Rites came to the imperial list with a huge list, surrounded by soldiers.
After the imperial list was revealed, people crowded forward to watch the list. Immediately, everyone was shocked.
The first rank of Jinshi, and the position of No. 1 Duke is obviously Shi Xian.
"Shi Xian, who is this? I've never heard of him."
"Yes. Huiyuan determines the scope of Jinshi. Even if the results fluctuate in the subsequent palace examinations, they will not fluctuate so drastically. I remember the names of the top twenty people in Huiyuan. There is no such person named Shi Xian."
"This is a dark horse."
People who don't know are talking about it. As for the prospective Jinshi who knew about it, they were in a state of ice and fire.
"I am actually the number one scholar?!!!!" Shi Xian was accompanied by two slaves. The strong slaves tried their best to protect Shi Xian, but in this turbulent crowd, he was still very small, like a piece of wood drifting with the tide. .
But he was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be the top pick.
He is very clear about the level of his articles. This time I was able to become a Jinshi in high school, it was because my ancestors’ graves were filled with smoke.
And the main reason is that the Han Dynasty is still small, and the number of Jinshi admitted is more than 200. He was lucky enough to go to high school.
If placed in the Chu State, scholars would be like crucian carp crossing the river, and the competition would be fierce, and he might not even be able to win the exam.
And now he is the number one scholar, the first number one scholar since the founding of the Han Dynasty.
As for Sushun, he knew at that time that going to Sushun would gain the respect of his father. But he didn't think much about it at the time.
Since it is Jun's father's wish, and someone has to do it.
Since your father wants to open up Sushun Mansion, you should do it to live up to your salary and be loyal to you.
I didn't expect that he would become the top pick because of this.
At the same time, the "Sushun Party", which was among the fifteen members of Shi Xian's group, were all shocked. They swept the top fifteen.
Second place and third overall.
The first on the second list, and so on.
Shi Xian's idea is a common idea among prospective Jinshi. The would-be Jinshi who did not dare to go to Sushun did not think that Wu Nian would be ranked on the imperial list because of this.
At the top of the competition, Zhang Songshan looked at his name in shock.
Second list.
thirteenth? ! ! ! !
As a Huiyuan myself, I didn't even make it into the top ten. How can this be?
"It's not fair, it's not fair. Since ancient times, imperial examinations have been conducted with essays as the basis for victory. How can the ranking be determined based on Sushun? This is not fair."
"That's right. It's not fair. We don't accept it."
The would-be Jinshis erupted. Not only did Zhang Songshan and others write good articles, but those who were supposed to be at the top of the list and those at the bottom saw Shi Xian becoming the top scholar because of Sushun. They were all jealous and crazy, and then protested one after another.
In the end, the "Sushun" incident spread quickly. More and more people are protesting. Some failed candidates, scholars, and scholars also joined in.
Wu Nian made changes to Guozijian and Sunzijian and added courses. Arithmetic, science, geography, history, etc.
But the power of traditional scholars is still very strong.
These people are masters and apprentices, or fathers and sons. Especially in Goguryeo, the strength of traditional scholars was ridiculously strong.
The imperial examinations held by the imperial court and the selection of officials were extremely sacred to them.
Wu Nian used a "Sushun" as the exam question, ignored the article, and selected mediocre people like Shi Xian. In their view, it was like throwing a rotten egg into the portrait of Confucius, which they could not accept.
The surging crowd overwhelmed the imperial list.
The official of the Ministry of Rites who issued the certificate fled under the protection of the soldiers.
"Dear scholars. In order to maintain the sanctity of the imperial examination, we went to the Ministry of Rites to make the matter bigger so that our voice could be heard by our father."
Zhang Songshan's mind was already heating up, and he shouted desperately in the crowd. And as a Huiyuan, he is very prestigious.
As soon as he climbed up and shouted, his followers immediately gathered.
"Okay, let's go to the Ministry of Rites and surround it. Let Father Jun hear our voices."
"The imperial examination is based on articles. It's too childish, too childish. It can't be like this."
The scholars were furious, and together with Zhang Songshan, they went to the Ministry of Rites in a mighty manner.
"What should we do?" Shi Xian and the other fifteen people were a little panicked and didn't know what to do. But they are activists after all.
Shi Xian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "There are too many people and we can't stop them. Let's go to the palace and ask the king to take back his life."
"The country cannot be in chaos because of us."
"That's right."
"that's right."
The fifteen action groups quickly reached unity. We don’t want this false reputation, and we are willing to go to Sushun. We only hope that this time the storm can stop.
The imperial examination is not a child's play.
It is intended to shake the scholars of the entire country.
Moreover, our articles and knowledge are indeed not very good, and we are not qualified to be the number one, second or third overall pick.
The first imperial examination in the Han Dynasty.
There was a commotion all over the city and there were big waves.
