On the first day of the scientific examination, it's a quarter to go.
Whips are blown, gongs are beaten, and drums are sounded.
The sound of the cowhide drum was loud, and candidates wearing coarse linen clothes emerged from the examination room one by one, stood upright, and began to call the roll call.
On the high platform, Ji Ying has temporarily built three long platforms of different heights and twenty-one stools.
Sitting behind the tallest platform is the Emperor, in front are the Six Ministers and Zuo Shilang, and in the front are the Jiushi Shaoqing and several officials from the Ministry of Rites.
Many courtiers came last night. Except for those who should stay with the driver, the others returned to the capital and returned to various government offices.
Qian Ji served as the examiner, and the candidates took their roll call below. He put incense on the full-length portrait of Kong Laoer, and sincerely hoped that Master Kong would be alive in heaven and bless all the imperial examination candidates in this dynasty.
Han You was dressed in military uniform, holding an iron whip, and stood in the audience with a murderous look.
Boss Zhou, who was wearing a black robe, stood up. He wanted to say something, but then he thought about it and said, "Come on, if you have anything to say, let's take the test."
It is worth mentioning that people from the Imperial College are also here to invigilate the exam. After the exam is over, the junior proctors will be asked to copy the papers. Finally, they will also be involved in grading and judging the papers.
In addition, there is another person standing under the stage holding a pen and paper. He is as handsome as the Dinosaur Express Kesai, the Imperial College Secretary Ye Wenqi.
Wen Qi is a historian. For such a big event as a scientific examination, he must come in person to record it in detail.
Just because Wen Qi was present, Boss Zhou was embarrassed to speak.
He was afraid that once he said it, it would be written in the historical records that in the scientific examination in the first year of the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor encouraged the students to roll up their sleeves and take the exam seriously, and strive to work for me in the future. I am optimistic about you.
This is the first line, and the second line is like this. After the scientific examination, there is a mourning. The first-year scientific examination candidates are all fucking losers, one is worse than the other, and it is a shame for everyone.
Then there is the third line, which is the last line. I think back before the scientific examination, when Lao Ba was so proud and motivated the students, it can be said that he was so heroic. Now when I think of Lao Ba's excitement at that time, I just want to be happy and happy.
So when Wen Qi came to record historical records, Lao Ba felt that the less he existed, the better. It was best to remember Han You, because Han You was not afraid of embarrassment.
After the ceremony was finished, the roll call was completed, and Lao Qian waved his hand, "Test!"
The candidates all sat back in the examination room where the wooden beds and other debris had been taken away, and they were fussing about it.
It can be said that for the candidates, except for themselves, nothing else belongs to them in this examination room, and they do not bring their own pen and ink.
Han You is not afraid of spending money, because he knows very well that these aristocratic families are a bunch of bears.
Jingwei began to enter, and each examination room was given six pieces of rice paper and three pens.
After the distribution was completed, the Yidao camp troops began to "distribute questions", which was the first subject, Mingfa.
As Fu Yuxiang shouted the word "Mingfa", except for the monarchs and ministers on the wooden platform, all the candidates in the examination room were dumbfounded.
Because according to the process, the first lesson is to "understand the sutra", not the dharma.
In addition, in the "questions" that many people buy, Mingfa is not the content.
Han You seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He was dumbfounded or confused. He bought a fake question. If you have the ability, report it to the official. Hahahaha.
The so-called Ming Jing is to examine the meaning of Confucianism and Taoism.
Mingfa is a test of judicial knowledge. The content is the laws and regulations of the Zhou Dynasty. The five laws and three laws are divided into two parts. The exam is divided into two parts, which tests the familiarity with the laws and regulations. The second part is the use of the laws and regulations, which means writing different sentences. There should be no less than three specific cases for investigation and judgment.
Not to mention the confused candidates, the emperor and his ministers were also confused when they saw the test questions, including the emperor.
You must know that after the Ministry of Rites comes up with a title, it needs to be sent to the palace. Only after the emperor confirms it will the Ministry of Rites write the title and record it.
Han You made a special trip to the palace before and sat on the steps with Lao Ba for a brief chat.
Young Master Han gave a general outline, which was not much different from the previous scientific examination content. He was too lazy to write down the specific details, just to reassure Lao Ba.
Lao Ba was not very reassured, but felt that if Qian Ji was there to check it, there should be no problem, so he didn't ask further questions, and he didn't ask Wen Wu to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to ask questions.
Now Lao Ba has seen it, the ministers have seen it, and the supervisors have also seen it.
When I looked at the test questions, it was no longer a matter of whether the question was a problem, but that I wanted to curse people.
The topic is the laws and orders of Zhou Dynasty.
The law is the law, the order is the government order, the question is this question asked by the "Ministry of Rites", it is so disgusting.
The people who live in seclusion are left with farmland and are poor, and those who use their free time to build tax houses are poor.
It’s about a hidden house. For this question, the candidates were asked to write about what a hidden house is at the beginning.
This is easy to write. A person who escapes from his native place of residence in order to avoid rent, tax, and corvee, and whose name is not listed in the official household registration, is also called a fugitive.
But the further down I looked, the more I felt something was wrong.
Everyone knows the laws and regulations related to the inventory of hidden households.
The problem is that the explanation and entry point are different. It does not ask everyone to check the hidden households, but allows the candidates to write how to "hide the hidden households".
Children of aristocratic families are very familiar with this matter, but every aristocratic family always hides it in secret.
Due to natural and man-made disasters, the people had no choice but to sell their land and their bodies. The land was given to the landlords and the aristocratic families, and their bodies were given to the landlords and the aristocratic families.
The family exchanged the deed of sale and reported it to the government and said that the person was dead. If he died, he would not have to perform corvee labor and the family would not have to pay taxes. In fact, the person was still alive, farming land, working hard, and paying rent for the family.
Just this one set of tricks, the family can do it better than anyone else.
The question is how to write this thing. This is like asking someone who steals a battery car to write in detail how he stole it, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, what tools did I use when, and what tools did I use to remove the battery? How did you avoid surveillance when you left, how did you get caught, how did you become famous, and how did you become a household name in the end? Let everyone know that if you are a good person, you can also become a good person if you steal batteries. This is Does the world need such positive energy?
The candidates in the examination room who came from aristocratic families were all numb, clutching their pens, and at least four to five hundred people began to greet Qian Ji and his family.
Looking further down, they no longer want to greet Qian Ji's family, but want to kill Lao Qian's family.
Forget about hiding the house, there is still land, and the land is concealed.
This is similar to the question of Yinhu, but what is hidden is the land. It is clear that ten acres of land have been harvested and occupied, and the government has been told that nine of the ten acres of land are wasteland. It cannot be harvested, and it cannot be harvested for food. .
Looking further down, the questions are finally normal.
Regarding some "laws" for checking land and checking hidden households, how to deal with it, how to punish it, etc.
However, the last question is not a question, it is to write your own name, and it is written in a very formal way. The general meaning is that this candidate, once he becomes an official in the future, will definitely follow the imperial decree to conceal his identity and conceal information. The land will be traced to the end. Even if my own father does this kind of thing, I will never tolerate it. I will treat everyone equally and be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
The monarchs and ministers on the wooden platform were stunned.
Boss Zhou couldn't sit still anymore and quickly asked Wenwu to call Han You.
Lao Ba doesn't even have to think about it. The one who can ask such a question is definitely not Qian Ji. Lao Qian is not that cool, it must be Han You.
Han You ran up and lowered his head: "What's wrong?"
"What's going on?"
Pointing to the test paper, Lao Ba asked in a low voice: "What kind of messy question is this test? The laws and regulations are the laws and regulations. Why is there a test about hidden households? Why do you have to write so much nonsense?"
"nonsense?"
Han You looked like an unteachable boy and whispered: "Brother, this is not nonsense, it is evidence."
"evidence?"
"That's right." Han You chuckled: "If these people become officials in the future, and if you want to mess with someone in a few years, just stick a test paper in his face and ask him if his family has hidden secrets and if he has concealed anything. He won't dare to quarrel with you, but if you are arrogant, you will be directly investigated, and he will be swept away in a polite way. He will be infamy for thousands of years, and let him take the initiative to submit a letter to resign. What a hypocrite!"
Boss Zhou's eyes widened and he grabbed Han You's arm: "Brother Han, wow!"
Han You laughed silently and wildly.
Boss Zhou was as happy as a third grandson.
In fact, this is almost the same as taking an oath, and it is an oath signed by fingerprints.
He said that he would be sworn in with sin, and then one day, when this guy committed a sin, he would just throw this oath in his face and kill someone. This was much more satisfying than attacking and quarreling in court.
Han You, who was holding an iron whip, winked at Lao Ba and walked off the stage again.
As for the old ministers, ministers and ministers, their eyes were very complicated.
None of them were fools. After the initial shock, they quickly realized what was going on. Isn't this just like a guarantee, and what was guaranteed was the mistakes the family had already made.
The most disgusting thing is that I have to write. If I don't write, it means giving up the scientific examination. Why did I come all the way? It's just for the official robe.
Whether it's a letter of guarantee or an oath, ancient times are ancient times, and they pay attention to credibility and integrity. If you swear an oath and write a letter of guarantee in ancient times, if you fail to do so, your reputation will be completely ruined. Let alone being an official, it is very difficult to be a human being.
Just when the ministers turned back to look at the emperor, and hesitated to say something inappropriate, a cry came from behind.
A wealthy banker came over wearing a candidate's hair.
Han You hurriedly ran over and asked what was going on. His nose was so angry that his nose was crooked. When he walked back to the wooden platform, he cursed your grandmother for relying on you all the way.
The monarchs and ministers all looked at Han You again. Han You said a few words, and the monarchs and ministers fell silent.
They expected that someone would cheat, but they didn't expect that there would be a candidate who was more slutty than Han You.
One candidate actually had "dread braids" in his hair, and then used the braids to hang several small notes and hid them in the middle of his hair.
"Tie to the pillar of shame!"
After Han You finished speaking, he didn't ask the emperor for instructions. He turned around and yelled, and then the cheating examinee was escorted over.
The ministers really had no way to plead for mercy. Even according to the laws of the previous dynasty, cheating in scientific examinations would still be punished.
But everyone was confused and didn't know what the "pillar of shame" meant.
Soon, they knew that it was a pillar, very tall, thick, long, and hard, just fifty meters away on the west side. There were twelve pillars in total. It looks like a clothes hanger, with a rag stuffed in its mouth, and it is hopeless.
This time, several ministers couldn't bear it anymore. They could be taken away or punished. What kind of talk is this? They are scholars after all.
Even Sun Shouting couldn't stand it any longer. Unexpectedly, without opening his mouth, there was another howl. Then, the howl continued, and one candidate after another was taken out. There were more than twenty people, and more and more.
Wen Qi, who was under the stage, hurried over and asked what happened like a conscientious war reporter.
The villagers and the Yidao camp soldiers were all very happy, and if they caught one, they would receive a reward. They really liked this prosperous age of cultural people!
Han You, who was holding his arms, sneered again and again. All my dealers have gone through systematic and strict training. Just your little tricks, oh, you are playing tricks in front of Guan Gong, and you are overestimating your abilities!
