Chapter 55 Lecture meeting after the imperial examination for the third year of the Republic
The Jinshi exam is not about leaving after one hour of answering the paper. Candidates have to stay in it for several days to complete all the papers. They have to bring their luggage beds and live in the examination school. There are people waiting anxiously outside the examination school, and people who are full of negative emotions because they are unable to participate.
As the examiner, Wu Qian did not expect that Zhao Taiwei didn't care about the resignation of a deputy examiner. He did not expect that this matter would pass so lightly and did not cause any trouble. If this was a big event in the past, it would be enough to cause a big event that would have caused a rebellion.
Wu Qian was a little too proud of Zhao Jiaren's respect for the old civil officials, and too proud of the number of old civil officials in the Lin'an court at that time. When the Lin'an court surrendered, there were only Fujian Road, Guangdong and Guangxi, Yangzhou, and Haizhou. The total number of these officials was only three or four hundred.
In the history of the Song Dynasty for more than 300 years, more than 40,000 Jinshi were selected in the imperial examination. The officials were the officials who really supported the bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty. They were paid by the local government and did not pay the accounts by the central government. The officials' aides were all privately hired, and the state did not assume the official identities of these people. A small official in the Song Dynasty had at least 50 gangs and 3 or 500 gangs. This resulted in the actual number of the ruling class entrenched in the Song Dynasty. However, the actual number of people on the list was actually very small.
Zhao Jiaren was once deceived by the article "In ancient times, xxx farmers only raised one official, and xx farmers in New China raised one official." Those who spread this kind of words never mentioned the help of minor officials and minor officials, let alone when they calculated New China, they also gave teachers and other personnel to the official ranks. In comparison with the reality, the proportion of people who support the people of New China who are actually the lowest in all dynasties.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the destruction of officials, Zhao Jiaren transferred a large number of cadres from the Navigation Guild to serve as officials. Of course, there are problems with the experience of these people, but these people can be dismissed more easily. These people are from laborers and create wealth rather than just consuming wealth.
At this time, there were only 300 former officials in the Beijing officials. Most of these 300 people were shocked by Zhao Jiaren's actions to resign if he could a deputy examiner resign. However, the cadres and officials of the larger number of sailing guilds did not care about this. Not to mention that Zhao Jiaren just allowed an official to resign, even if Zhao Jiaren killed the examiner, the cadres would not have any objection.
In the next few days, Wu Qian may not have no hope of this group of people who refer to him to make trouble. For their own interests, none of the people who refer to him had any telepathy with Mr. Wu Qian and Mr. Wu. The examination process was very smooth, and both the invigilators and candidates were working hard to complete their work.
The review process was also carried out step by step. The whole process was similar to the past, because the number of candidates was smaller than before, and the entire incident was much earlier. After the list of palace examinations was released, the cadres in the court did not comment. Anyway, no one from their family came to participate in the imperial examination, but went to participate in the imperial examination system. The officials in the court were greatly surprised.
The candidates are not without background. After the end, they will write the articles for the upper class to read, hoping that they will be moved. More than a dozen of them were unanimously recognized by officials. The candidates who are considered to be very talented in literature and have excellent ideas were actually defeated. Wen Tianxiang was temporarily appointed as the deputy examiner by Zhao Jiaren, and the former top scorer became the focus of the attack. Many people simply went to Wen Tianxiang to ask for an explanation.
Faced with these many people, Wen Tianxiang was too lazy to explain one by one, so he invited more people to drink. Just looking at the invited people, those who questioned were listed, and many others also participated in this scientific examination. Everyone knows that Wen Zhizhou was going to say something about this scientific examination. One transmission of ten, ten transmission of hundreds. On that day, many people gathered inside and outside the party site.
Wen Tianxiang has a fierce personality. When Jia Sidao was in power in the court and the country, he publicly opposed Jia Sidao several times. Now there are so many people, he has even given rise to the enthusiasm of millions of people to go. Also attending with him was Liu Meng, who was transferred to participate in the review of the paper. Among the cadres in Zhao Jiaren's hands, Liu Meng is a guy Zhao Jiaren believes that he has some understanding of philosophy.
When the time came, Wen Tianxiang stood up and signaled everyone to be quiet. More than 200 numbers were squeezed in the yard, and more outside. After Wen Tianxiang signaled, it took a lot of time to calm down. Wen Tianxiang said loudly: "Many people failed the exam this time, and the questions were different. I think the representative one is the answer to the last question."
A buzzing sound immediately came from below. The last question was very strange, and everyone had a lot of opinions on this question. Wen Tianxiang calmed everyone down and continued: "The country will take the scholars, and the last question is to look at the opinions of everyone. Those who are in line with the truth can pass it, and those who are not in line with the truth can only be. This has little to do with everyone's writing skills."
"Then this is the only way to agree with Taiwei Zhao's idea?" said the candidate who thought there was no problem but failed the exam.
"Yes. If Taiwei Zhao has any ideas, why not explain it clearly first?" The person who failed the exam couldn't help but say immediately.
These people were already angry, and even when they encountered an environment of following the crowd, they started shouting, "Tell me clearly!" "You have to make it clear!"
Wen Tianxiang wanted to restore the quietness of the venue, but he didn't expect that those people could not hold on as soon as they started to make a fuss. Finally, he simply shouted in unison, "Say it clearly!" "Say it clearly!"
In this wave, Wen Tianxiang's efforts were fruitless. At this moment, a loud noise was heard, which made Wen Tianxiang tighten. The people below were also stunned and temporarily quieted down. Liu Meng slapped the table. He stood up and shouted in a loud voice: "If you want to make noise, go out and make noise. Here is a dialogue, which makes you feel that you have too many people? Now, shut up and listen to Wen Zhizhou's speech carefully."
"Who are you?" Liu Jingwen, who was mixed in the crowd, shouted loudly.
"My name is Liu Meng, who participated in this marking." Liu Meng replied in a loud voice.
When a group of people who were elected were naturally angry when they saw the culprits who failed to be elected, Liu Meng was very violent in treating these choices. He took out a whistle and blew hard. With the sharp whistle, more than 30 police officers were transferred out of the rear of the Taiwan post. Seeing these police officers maintaining public order, many people felt that Liu Meng was not a gentleman who was not a man who could not act.
"The purpose of coming here is to talk. If you can't control yourself, you either leave by yourself or be dragged away. Choose one." Liu Meng took advantage of this time and shouted loudly. He needed a loud voice on the boat, and the gentle voice in the sea breeze was useless at all.
There were policemen standing in front of the formation, and loud voices were shocked. Some of them were quiet, but Liu Jingwen was not here to discuss. Seeing that the situation could be confused, he continued to shout: "In the family law of the ancestors, no murder is allowed by words. You are not allowed to speak, what a great power!"
Liu Meng grinned. He accumulated more people than the people in the entire yard after he took action alone and cooperated. The number of people killed more than ten thousand in the battles he had participated in. Such a small nonsense had no effect on him at all. He pointed at Liu Jingwen and Liu Meng said desperately: "Take it out!"
The police separated everyone and grabbed Liu Jingwen and dragged him out. Someone couldn't help but stop him. The police without hesitation, and they rushed one of them together. After being beaten out for more than 20 people, the herd mentality of the others immediately changed. From "following everyone to quarrel" to "not wanting to be taken away."
The guy who was taken away was parked in a courtyard a distance from the venue. Since the Mongolian invasion, the vacancy rate in Lin'an has increased greatly. Taiwei Zhao has fully recruited these houses. It is easy to see whether there are people living in the houses forever. The walls and window paper can be seen as bleak. Liu Jingwen was here, recalling his glorious days before the Mongols invaded. At that time, as the minister, even if he could not make things difficult for the emperor, no one dared to make things difficult for him. Now things have changed, and not only have he lost his official position, but he was dragged away by the police in front of everyone.
I felt sad, but I didn't know what to say. These policemen were all young, with short hair and stern faces, and they looked not good. I don't know how long it took, but someone suddenly came. The police took Liu Jingwen to the venue. When I entered the venue this time, I saw that it was orderly inside, and everyone didn't know when there were stools. The stools were neatly discharged, and the people sitting on the stools were neatly arranged.
Liu Meng said to Liu Jingwen: "I'll ask you here why you were causing trouble just now. If you make sense, I'll ask you to come back and continue listening to the story of Master Wen."
He was dragged away by Liu Meng just now, and Liu Jingwen looked at Liu Meng fiercely. Even though he was just a commoner now, Liu Jingwen still had no intention of bowing to Liu Meng.
"If you make sense, just say it. What makes you so angry is to waste everyone's time. If you don't speak, I can only invite you out." Liu Meng smiled and pressed step by step with words.
"If you weren't for you, how could I be angry?" Liu Jingwen retorted loudly. After saying this, he felt that the atmosphere in the venue was not right. Wen Tianxiang lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. Liu Meng touched his chin with an indifferent expression. And the people in the audience were regretful, disappointed, funny, thoughtful, and heartbroken. None of the various emotions wanted to support Liu Jingwen.
Seeing that no one said anything, Liu Meng ordered the police, "Take this person out."
Wen Tianxiang listened to the police dragging Liu Jingwen away, and he told himself not to see Liu Jingwen's struggle. At this time, Wen Tianxiang felt a feeling of sympathy and contempt in his heart. Because when Liu Jingwen and others were dragged away just now, Liu Meng introduced Zhao Jiaren's criteria for judging the last question.
The guys who can pass through cannot be surrendered or firm supporters of Zhu Xi's faction. If they are in these two categories, they will always show their fox tails. They are like those criminals. Once they are arrested, they do not talk about how they are driven by their own understanding or desires as the main cause, but talk about external causes of secondary factors.
Liu Meng looked at the people who were shocked by the truth, and he smiled and said, "I will bring back the people I took away. Ask them why they were making trouble. If they were willing to admit that they did this because of their impulse, they would be a guy who knew who they were. I would let such guys stay and continue to listen. But I am not optimistic. I am afraid that seven or eight out of ten people who were taken out felt that if I hadn't been rude, they wouldn't have been like that."
Now Liu Jingwen has proved Liu Meng's prediction with his words and deeds. Wen Tianxiang cannot evaluate this. Later, these twenty or so people were brought in one by one, and all of them said that it was Liu Meng's actions that led to them making inappropriate choices. None of them looked for reasons from their own main reasons.
Wen Tianxiang was not willing to look at the people below. He didn't think there was something wrong with him, but he felt that the people below were too pitiful. Liu Meng laughed and asked someone to send some pages to everyone. The text on it was printed, "The rise of things must start. When honor and disgrace come, it must be like its virtue. The meat rots out of insects, the fish gets dead and the body. The neglected forgets the body, and the disaster will be caused by disasters. Forced takes the pillars and soft takes the bundles. Evil and filth are in the body, and the resentment is formed. If fire is given one, the fire will be dry, if the flat ground is one, the water will be wet. The grass and trees are born, and the animals will be flocked, and the things will be followed by their kind. Therefore, the quality is opened, and the bow and arrow will come; the forest is lush, and the axes will be pounded; the trees are shining, and the birds will be resting. The vinegar and sour, and the trolls will gather. Therefore, it means that there will be disasters, and actions will be humiliated. The gentleman is careful what he is standing!"
"What Zhao Taiwei wants this time is a talent who can shoulder heavy responsibilities, not a scholar who only knows how to speak empty words. Those who can do things know that if they want to do things, they must have strength and knowledge. Where does this strength come from, it is definitely not what someone outside says, but from yourself. Has he been full, has read enough books, has learned and has learned about the situation in front of him. These all come from ourselves, not from others. We must respect ourselves and know that all choices come from our essence. Not because of what someone outside says, which leads to the result of us waiting. So if you still feel that you have not written an article that makes the examiner disagree with the topic, you can leave now. You can't hear anything even if you stay."
Liu Meng talked freely, almost the same as he expected. It would be useless to reason with these people. If Zhao Jiaren or Wen Tianxiang were the ones in the audience, they could understand what was going on even if they didn’t pass the exam. And the group in the audience believed that ‘whether to pass the exam’ was all the core, all the causes and results. The mental state of such people is actually not much different from those dolls who cried without getting candy.
Seeing that no one left, Liu Meng smiled and said, "Since you think there is no problem, we will ask the Chief Wen to continue talking about the issue of this recruitment of the scholars."
