The grand occasion of the reference time appeared again in the square in front of the Literary Academy, and the crowds were crowded. Just like the festival, cheers broke out from time to time among the crowd watching the list.
When the person who passed the examination saw his name and was recognized by others, he immediately formed a circle. Those who had passed the examination could only bow their hands in bows and salutes, thanking people for their greetings.
Again, we are all decent people. Although everyone's joys and sorrows are not the same at this time, it is not rude to others.
This is completely different from later, when most Gongsheng students came from ordinary families and studied hard for ten years in order to achieve a class jump through the imperial examination.
At the moment when fate changes, few people can control their emotions.
Later, in the record of the appearance of officialdom, various scenes were described, including suicide, fainting, madness, etc., etc., all kinds of scenes in the world.
In contrast, scholars in the early Tang Dynasty were much calmer when facing success and failure in the examination room, mainly because everyone had a way out and did not have to pass the examination.
There are very few people who study hard all day long and have a poor family. Even the scholars who come from poor families will find something to do after they study to a certain level and support their own family first.
There are very few people in the world who can read and write, so as long as scholars want to do things, they will not starve themselves to death.
In fact, it was the same for a long time afterwards, but more and more people took the imperial examination. Only a few were admitted to the imperial examination in one Beijing examination, and a large number of people failed to pass the examination. They will have to take the examination next time.
After years of backlog, the number of people is increasing year by year, the competition is becoming more and more fierce, and the degree of involution is beyond people's imagination.
Good days and hard days for scholars come together. How do you let people choose?
Later, in modern society, there were cram schools everywhere, which were essentially the same as during the feudal dynasty. If you didn’t study all day, but thought about working for others, how could you pass the exams of others?
Therefore, in order to prevent scholars from making a fool of themselves in front of the literary list, the later imperial court sent people to notify them one by one, and by the way, it could also show that the imperial court valued the Jinshi scholars.
…………
Master Xu Yu glanced at the essay list in the distance and felt that the nephew's legs and feet beside him were a little shaky. He knew that this was caused by being too nervous, and he was not the same. His heart was beating like a drum, and something was wrong with him.
So he grabbed his nephew's arm and whispered: "Hold on tight. Whether you pass or not, it's God's will for you and me. If you don't succeed this time, just come back next time."
Hao Chujun responded, his voice trembling a little, which made Master Xu Yu want to give his nephew a few blows to wake him up.
But speaking of it, the psychological quality of the two descendants of the aristocratic family is still good, but when the young people face the choice of fate for the first time, they will inevitably panic and fear.
…………
Someone bumped into Xu Yushi from behind and squeezed past him.
Master Xu Yu didn't bother to look at it. He only saw the literary list, but the man squeezed to the front and his tall figure blocked his sight.
It was a coincidence that this man had a relationship with Master Xu Yuan once before. He was the ugly man he met when he was leaving the liberal arts college after taking exams a few days ago.
The master was not allowed to think too much, and the man moved forward. With his thick body, no one could stop him.
Master Xu Yu didn't have any leisure to get to know him, so he pulled his nephew towards the Wenbang direction.
Still far away, Hao Chujun stretched his neck and looked with wide eyes.
The poster is posted high and the handwriting is large, just to make it easier for people to see.
…………
"bingo……"
"What hit?" Master Xu Yue was still walking forward. The closer he got to the literary list, the more people there were. There were only a few people on the list, but there were many people who failed.
Although some people are frustrated, they don't want to leave and talk around those who are on the list. Now they don't talk about being of the same age, and they don't regard the examiners as house masters.
But after all, there is some connection. If we meet again in the future, even if we don't recognize him, everyone will be polite when talking about this year's scientific examination. When meeting the examiner from that year, it is natural to call him "teacher".
So taking advantage of others' happiness, going up to chat a few words and becoming familiar with each other is a sign of worldliness, which is similar to what people later said, multiple acquaintances lead to multiple paths.
"Uncle, I seem to have seen your name on it..."
Hao Chujun had good eyesight, and he found his uncle's name on the top list when he was still quite far away, but he was still a little unsure.
Xu Yushi's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat. He was famous in Jiangyou, but he was seriously lacking in self-confidence at this time. After all, the people who came to the capital from all over the Tang Dynasty to participate in the imperial examination were all the best scholars.
No matter how conceited about talent and learning, people will come to Chang'an and think that I am the oldest among all the talented people. After all, there are very few people who are as self-righteous as Li Wenxiu.
Master Xu Yun's mind went up and down to the bottom of the essay list, and he couldn't wait to look over.
Hao Chujun pointed at the side, "I saw that right, uncle is on the top list, and anyone who is not blind can see the word boss written there."
Hao Chujun was so excited that he spoke without hesitation. Master Xu Yue didn't care so much, and soon found his name on the top list. The big characters "Jiangling" and "Master Xu Yue" were unmistakable. Master Xu Yue felt relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.
I thought it was okay, okay, I didn't lose the face of the Anlu Xu family...
After that, my eyes turned around on the top list, but I didn't find my nephew's name. I couldn't help but feel anxious. The two came to Chang'an together, and they grew up together since childhood. Their relationship was extraordinary. What if one of them won the prize?
, if a person fails the exam, will he have a drink to celebrate when he goes back, or will he hug his head and cry?
Unexpectedly, my nephew slapped me hard on the shoulder. This guy's eyes were stronger than his uncle's. At this time, his face was red and he said cheerfully: "I am also on the list, but I am only on the second list. Haha, what can I say?
Look, with our uncle and nephew’s talent and learning, how can there be any reason for him to fail?”
The top student in the Ming Dynasty Political Science Department is Master Xu Yu of Jiangling.
The first place in the second list of the Ming Law Department is Jiangling Hao Chujun.
At this time, the Imperial Examination in the Tang Dynasty was not divided into two subjects, A and B, but it was already known as the two rankings of Jinshi, but the reason was that there were two rankings in the north and south.
The Beijing Examination is divided into two rankings, the North and the South, and the two rankings are divided into the first and second rankings. It is very clear that the first place on the first list must be the top one in major subjects. When it is subdivided, there are the top names in minor subjects. The top names in minor subjects will appear on the second list.
.
The so-called first place on the second list is actually the second place in the major department, followed by the first place in the minor department, and the second place in the minor department below that.
That's why there are 108 people admitted. If we only take the comprehensive scores, we can get more than ten people.
You only took a dozen people in three years, so I’m afraid you won’t have to take the scientific examination...
In the early Tang Dynasty, it was actually the time when the scale of scientific examinations was expanded. In the following ten years, there would be more and more subjects, and more and more people would be admitted to official positions.
The imperial court and local officials need talents in all aspects, and they also need fresh blood. Only by introducing a large number of talents can the wounds caused by the war be healed faster.
And when these are combined with the court's policies to reduce redundant officials and mediocre officials, the metabolism of talents will be healthier.
Li Po's original intention at the beginning was just to free up some places in the underground bureaucracy for the Jinshi. This was caused by the war in the late Sui Dynasty, when the local area was filled with all kinds of chaos that did not exist in the peaceful period.
For example, the county magistrate of a place was a subordinate of the ogre king Zhu Can during the war, etc.
…………
Under the literary list, a crowd of people gathered around Master Xu Yu's uncle and nephew. Everyone who knew him or not came to congratulate him.
When the uncle and nephew left the square, it was already an hour later. Their faces were stiff with smiles, but their moods were extremely good.
Hao Chujun is already planning to invite friends to Caiyufang for a relaxing time in the near future to reward himself. The most important thing is to show off in front of his friends.
Unfortunately, Xu Yushi disagreed. He searched for a long time on the essay list, but could not see the names of a few people who were close friends with his uncle and nephew. Obviously, they had not passed the exam.
It is very inappropriate to invite people to a banquet at this time. It is better to invite people to the house for a drink, talk about your heart and discuss articles like you used to have a drink, and don't be too proud in front of your friends.
…………
The steward who accompanied them congratulated them repeatedly, and sent someone back early to inform Mrs. Chen of the State of Jin. Mrs. Chen was overjoyed and wanted to celebrate the two descendants of their family friends tonight. Naturally, the two of them would not refuse.
As they rode their horses on the road, Master Xu Yue smiled and said to his nephew, "Have you thought about it? Marriage between two families is a beautiful thing, so don't push back or make your aunt angry."
Hao Chujun was proud of himself and laughed, "What do I say? Aren't there still a few uncles who have to make the decision?"
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Mrs. Chen really took a fancy to the two of them, and didn't make any detours. She discussed it with the two of them a few days ago, but Master Xu Yue had already been married to someone more than two years ago.
It's just that he was held back on the grounds that he had failed in his studies and had not yet entered the officialdom. This time, regardless of whether he won the imperial examination or not, he would marry her.
Hao Chujun was single. His predecessors often said clearly that before the Xiongnu were destroyed, why should he rely on his family to support himself? In fact, he still had not found a wife.
The reason is also very simple, that is, he has been sending samples to the Xu family in Anlu for many years, and his identity is not easy to tell, so he has not been able to find a good match with a well-matched family.
In fact, once Chen opens his mouth, Master Xu Yu can still block it, so Hao Chujun has no reason to refuse, and he cannot refuse this matter.
The Miyuan Li family is not an ordinary family. They are relatives, and their daughter has become the queen. Li Jing is not only the head of the country, but also a high-ranking official in the court. When he returns to the court, he will definitely be rewarded with the position of prime minister.
As long as someone asks to marry someone, let alone a local family like the Anlu Xu family, even the Lanling Xiao family, whose reputation is the most important in the world, cannot refuse.
Moreover, the person she wants to marry is the legitimate daughter of the Li family, the second daughter of Li Jing's eldest son, Li Derjian. She is fifteen years old this year, which is the age for marriage, so she has no worries about getting married.
The reason why Hao Chujun was deliberately promised to Hao Chujun was because Hao Chujun fell in love with the Chen family and did not consider his family background too much...
