The Daqian examination takes place every three years.
It is usually held in February or March of the second year of the provincial examination, because it coincides with the early spring, so it is also called Chunwei.
The chief examiner coordinates the overall situation of the examination, and consists of presidents, vice presidents, and a total of eighteen examiners, all of whom are Hanlin Academy officials.
There are three sessions in total, and both Imperial College students and candidates can participate.
There are three exams in total, each lasting three days.
Therefore, this is not only a test of knowledge, but also a competition in physical fitness.
Even the meals have to be brought by oneself.
If it is a rich family, it will be better, and they will definitely be able to prepare delicious food.
If you are born in poverty, you will spend all your wealth and go to Beijing to take the exam.
In the end, I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to afford the meal, so I could only bring two cold steamed buns to satisfy my hunger.
If you are not careful, if you catch wind and cold occasionally, you will have to take the exam while sick.
If you don't perform well, you won't get a chance to be named on the gold list.
So, these days, it is really difficult to come from a poor family.
What's more, this was still under the rule of Emperor Renxuan.
If it had been thirty years ago, it would have been a cannibalistic world.
As time went by, candidates from all over the country gathered in Gandu.
The nine-day trial began!
After the examination, the candidates still cannot leave Qiandu.
Instead, they have to wait for the results to be released, and those who lose their names will just leave.
If you are in high school, you will also need to take the palace examination.
In the prelude to the Jinluan Hall, he was praised as a disciple of the Emperor!
After the palace examination, based on personal performance, the person will be awarded a Jinshi status or a Jinshi status.
At this point, this spring is over.
The candidates were considered to have achieved fame and fame, and then they waited.
Waiting for the official position in the court to become vacant.
If you are a child of a noble family, have family support, and have good luck, you will be able to land a position in a short time.
If you come from a poor background and have bad luck, you may have a hard time waiting.
Is it realistic?
I can only say that this is the way of the world.
The candidates' examination papers will be sealed together with their names and birthplaces, and then sent to the Hanlin Academy, where they will be jointly reviewed by the examiner, the president and vice president, and eighteen examiners.
After marking, the envelope cannot be opened.
Instead, they have to be ranked blindly and then sent to the Hall of Qiande, where they will be unsealed by the emperor, thus eliminating the root cause of corruption among officials due to bribery.
When the previous emperor was in power, the imperial court collapsed, officials were sold off, and the imperial examination became a gilding ground for the children of aristocratic families.
After Emperor Renxuan came to power, he completely purged the world and reorganized the court.
At the same time, it also showed the emphasis on the imperial examination.
This is an important way for the imperial court to select talents, and it is much more efficient than methods such as promoting filial piety and integrity.
So we have to pay attention to it.
Therefore, the imperial court has always had zero tolerance for bribery and fraud among imperial examination officials.
It's a death penalty if caught!
A few years ago, there was a case where five children from aristocratic families were ranked among the top ten in one go because of bribery.
After being investigated and investigated, Emperor Renxuan was so angry that he directly ordered the confiscation of his family and the extermination of his clan!
It can be seen that this matter is serious and the court attaches great importance to it.
Time often slips away inadvertently between fingers.
In the blink of an eye, there is a half-moon scene.
The examinations have come to a successful conclusion, and the examination papers of candidates from all over the country have been reviewed and their rankings have been arranged and sent to the Qiande Hall to await the emperor's judgment.
…
early morning.
The sun rises and the sun shines down.
In front of the Qiande Hall, the shrill and harsh voice of the eunuch shouting salutes sounded again:
"My lords, come to court!"
Immediately, the Gonggun princes filed in.
Emperor Renxuan still sits on the dragon throne. Even though he is old, he is still calm and powerful, looking full of momentum.
No one dares to underestimate this emperor. Without him, the country named Qian would have disappeared into the dust of history thirty years ago.
The resurgence kings of the past dynasties are often comparable to the founders of the country.
Emperor Renxuan ascended the throne at a time of crisis. He shook the small people internally, purged the world, wiped out the enemy bandits externally, and protected the mountains and rivers.
Logically speaking, the achievement is already impressive.
But there is still a big distance between becoming the King of ZTE and being compared with the Emperor Taizu Gao and the overlord Xiang Canglan.
But if he can accumulate strength, he can destroy Dayan and Great Liang, regain the old mountains and rivers, and restore the territory of Daqian to its peak.
Then, it must be almost done.
It's a pity that Emperor Renxuan is old.
No one knows whether he will still have this time.
"If you have something to do, leave the court." It was still the sharp voice of the eunuch who was shouting.
"Your Majesty, some time ago, Wei Chen served as the chief examiner of Chunwei, coordinating many matters of the examination."
"Now, spring has passed, and all the candidates' examination papers have been blindly reviewed. Your Majesty is invited to review them." As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, Hu Yan stood up and said.
But as soon as he said these words, the expressions of everyone around him changed, and they looked at him with a hint of pity.
Yang Huai and Zhang Lang still looked like old gods, as if this matter had nothing to do with them and they didn't care.
Yang Shao, who was standing slightly behind, raised the corners of his mouth and felt joy in his heart.
Wei Qing couldn't bear it and was always ready to give advice to protect his favorite disciple.
On the dragon chair, Emperor Renxuan nodded when he heard this and said: "Send all the examination papers."
After giving the order, someone quickly delivered the test papers.
This is a test paper that has been ranked, but the name and place of origin are still sealed.
According to Daqian regulations, only Emperor Renxuan was qualified to open the seal in front of the ministers to show justice.
"Hand over Gong Yuan's paper first."
Upon hearing this, the accompanying eunuch hurriedly handed over a test paper.
Emperor Renxuan then tore the seal open in front of dozens of pairs of eyes below.
Then, the weather-beaten emperor frowned.
Wei Qing's heart froze, and then he was filled with doubts.
Eighty percent of Gong Yuan is from the north.
But isn't this normal?
In the past three years of examinations, weren’t Gong Yuan all from the north?
Why is Your Majesty frowning?
Even Yang Huai, who pretended that the matter had nothing to do with him, was a little confused at the moment.
Logically speaking, even if Hu Yan needs to be punished, His Majesty should not attack at this time.
There was silence in the hall for a long time. Emperor Renxuan finally put down the examination paper and said: "Bring the second-level examination paper."
However, who would have thought that after reading the second-level examination paper, Emperor Renxuan frowned even more tightly.
"The rest! Get the rest of the exam papers!"
The ministers clearly felt that Emperor Renxuan seemed to be holding a fire in his heart at this moment.
For a moment, all the ministers were trembling, and no one dared to speak.
In the huge Qiande Hall, for a while, the only sound was the sound of Emperor Renxuan flipping through the examination papers.
After a long time, Emperor Renxuan put down all the examination papers, his face turned livid.
He sneered and said, "Hu Yan, do you know your guilt?"
After all, Hu Yan had been in the officialdom for several years, so it was impossible not to hear the anger in Emperor Renxuan's words.
For a moment, I could only hold back my surprise, knelt on the ground, and said in fear:
"The humble minister is stupid and doesn't know what his fault is. Please ask the Holy One to give you a clear warning."
"You are so brave, how dare you engage in malpractice for personal gain!"
