Xiao Yi originally wanted to cultivate the dialectical thinking of these newly promoted Daqian Jinshi.
Not everything has to be right or wrong.
It’s not something, right is right and wrong is wrong.
Between black and white, there are gray areas.
Of these 800 students who enter the palace examination, more than 700 people will be left in the end.
As for the final quota, it still depends on their final performance. During the palace examination, those who do not perform so poorly will be retained.
Martial arts is relatively simple, including one-thousand-meter long-distance running, archery, weightlifting, etc., and then there are rankings in the ring.
While the civil examination was conducting its written examination, the martial arts examination also began its first test.
When the civil examination is held in the palace examination, the martial arts examination also involves a competition in the ring.
Of course, the civil examination comes first and the military examination comes last.
In this palace examination, to put it simply, what the scholars have to do is to follow the topic and write a political policy paper that flatters His Highness the Crown Prince and points out the shortcomings and solutions of Daqian's governance.
As long as the flattery is good and the strategy is in place, then this is a typical good article for the imperial examination. You don't have to worry about getting a good ranking, let alone being dismissed.
It was impossible for Prince Xiao Yi to read the 800 articles with names blurred one by one. He only asked the ministers, Jiuqing, ministers, and ministers to review them together from officials above the fourth rank, make a rough ranking, and then select the outstanding ones. noun.
Not only that, as the formal examination of names began, no matter what his background, Prince Xiao Yi Yubi was not allowed to make any changes once his ranking was determined.
The test papers were also posted on the notice board outside Xuande Building for people to see, to show the court's selflessness.
However, some papers, even if they are anonymous, can make the emperors and ministers in the Jiying Palace astonished and treat them with caution through their first-hand articles.
For example, when Zhao Jiu looked at the test paper in his hand, which was filled with neatly written characters, from beginning to end, he felt that the shock in his heart was no longer enough to express his feelings.
For example, what Xiao Yi is holding now is the imperial examination article written by Wen Tianxiang, which is more than 10,000 words in total.
The key is that the over 10,000 words of useful information throughout this article point directly to the current ills, as if they were written by a veteran operator.
What's even more commendable is that he integrated these three issues into a whole, and the overall awareness filled the whole text.
The first sentence of the opening chapter is, "The treacherous man is fair, the prefect is king, the barbarians are eyeing him, the country is in turmoil, the people are in dire straits, and the generals are in ruins. However, since the prince supervises the country, the court has not followed the common customs, and only in troubled times can there be unity. However, since they are unified, the first priority in governing the country is to bring peace to the people, and the most important thing to bring peace to the people is legislation."
To put it simply, the most important thing is that the people in the newly recovered areas have enough to eat.
Then there is the process from water control to peace of mind, from water control and peace of mind to whether the ancestral method can be changed. The logic is extremely clear, and there are many policies that are indeed worthy of praise. Even the ministers of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers praised it after reading it. Don't stop talking.
Just from this volume of imperial examination essays, everyone felt that this was a promising candidate for becoming a minister.
Based on the title, it is definitely correct to point out that recuperation and recuperation are correct. There was a template for how to do it during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty. However, this dynasty further developed the system of equalizing land and dividing the land into acres. This is an eternal good government that cares for farmers. It must not be because of the emergence of the middle. The problem is repeated.
Good national policies must be implemented consistently, and national policies that hinder development must be reformed and abolished. We must also pay attention to underlying politics, prevent good laws from being harsh, strengthen supervision, and best establish a system.
The key is that it directly describes the needs of the people at the bottom, their current living conditions, and some of the problems they encounter today.
For example, due to the shortage of young and strong labor force caused by successive wars, even though His Royal Highness the Prince invented the curved shaft plow, which greatly improved the efficiency of farming, many villages were left with only the old, weak, sick, women and children because of the shortage of young and strong people.
Fortunately, today's officials are clear and clear, there are no bandits in the area, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
However, now that there are not many border wars, small-scale disarmament can be carried out to provide more young and strong labor force in the local area. This will not only stabilize the local area, but also promote development, reclaim more cultivated land, and increase food production.
Finally, he added that he could not cover everything and could only write down the suggestions he thought were useful on the test paper.
Xiao Yi was very satisfied. Throughout the article, there was no mention of the power of the king given by his ancestors. It was all discussed from the perspective of people's livelihood and politics. He was worthy of being a celebrity in history.
Xiao Yi pointed to the paper and said, "This person should be the number one scholar."
I am really pleased that I have pushed forward the new learning despite all opinions and finally changed the thinking of some elites.
By the way, Prince Xiao Yi was sitting there reading this article. First he was amazed, then he was amazed, then he laughed out of control, and finally said such a sentence, which had already attracted the attention of all the important officials in the palace. He didn't know what it was. What an article.
They also wanted to take a look. It must not be easy for His Royal Highness to show such an expression in front of all the officials with each test paper.
I'm so greedy.
After Xiao Yi read it, he came to his senses and didn't care at all. He just gave this article to the eunuch Sanbao beside him and asked him to pass it on to the important ministers of the six departments and nine ministers.
Di Yan glanced at it and did not express his opinion after reading it. He just circulated it to Dai Guang with a smile on his face, and then to Guo Ziyi, Bao Zheng, Li Daliang and others.
Everyone kept applauding, and they were also very happy. After Da Qian has such a talent for governing the world, they can trust Da Qian to such a person when they get old.
As a result, this letter became the first place in the palace examination, and directly determined the number one scholar.
As for the author of the test paper, there is no need to ask.
It must be the person they have met before. After seeing this person, His Royal Highness the Prince became interested and took Zhang Jiuling and others to the wine shop where they were, to listen to this person's eloquent talk. The people from Luling - —Wen Tianxiang.
By the afternoon, all 800 articles had been delivered.
A group of prospective Jinshi were either anxious or confident when they left the Xihua Gate and returned to the Imperial College, only to see that they would have to wait a few more days for the results to be released.
Little did they know that in the Jiying Palace, Prince Xiao Yi and the ministers had already achieved the rough result by being simple and quick.
What matters is efficiency.
After all, they still have a lot of things to do. For example, what Wen Tianxiang wrote in the policy paper is worthy of discussion by their monarchs and ministers, and then see if it can be implemented. If it can be implemented, it must be written in the national policy.
After the rankings are released, Wen Tianxiang's policies will be posted, and then the national policies will follow.
Just two days later, under the announcement of Jingzhao Yin's official mission, the academicians crowded in front of Xuande Gate early the next morning.
"Release the list!"
A loud shout.
The list is out.
There are both civil and military rankings.
But this time, the six rankings added up to a total of 765 Jinshi. Among them, the number one scholar was Luling Renwen Tianxiang.
There are also six rankings in the martial arts examination. A total of 732 warriors were directly awarded the title of school captain. Among them, the number one in martial arts was Li Yanxian, a native of Pengyuan, Ningzhou.
