Chang'an.
Enke exam.
With the examinations and examination systems, or "inferior examinations", gradually became less simple than before, but more rules and rules, and it became more and more like that.
Speaking of which, although the "Imperial Examination" system implemented by Fei Qian has been in effect for a period of time, it has not yet reached a very perfect level. Just like the frequency of this exam is not completely fixed and has changed according to actual conditions.
This time, when there were more students coming to Qinglong Temple, I took the opportunity to open a tribute.
Just like one of the three famous sayings in later generations, "Anyway, I've come...
In the feudal dynasty where the imperial examinations were prevalent, during the Song Dynasty, the few sentences in the Encouragement of Learning became the motto of many students, "A rich family does not need to buy fertile land, there is a thousand chunk of grain in the book; there is no need to build a high hall in the book, there is a golden house in the book; there is no regret for marrying a wife, there is a beauty in the book; if a man fulfills his life's ambition, read the Six Classics diligently to the window."
But there is something wrong with this poem that describes the imperial examination.
This poem was written by Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng was the third emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Is this guy...
Zhao Heng was neither the eldest son of Emperor Taizong nor the queen, so he was originally not in the turn of the throne. However, his elder brother Zhao Yuanzuo went crazy because of the death of his uncle Zhao Tingmei, and his second brother Zhao Yuanxi died suddenly, so he was fortunate to become the crown prince. Of course, no one dared to say how many dirty things there were in the palace, but Zhao Heng's "Chanyuan Alliance" was indeed a very important factor that led to the cowardice of the Song Dynasty.
The Chanyuan Alliance was the result of Zhao Heng's favorable military situation, but it turned into a peaceful result. The specific reason is that it is not that he cannot fight, but that he is unwilling to fight...
For the Song Dynasty, on the one hand, most of the land in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun was not recovered, and on the other hand, they had to lose money and receive silk so that the Liao Dynasty would no longer invade the south. Since then, Liao continued to demand money and exchange money for peace. For the Liao Kingdom, it took a big advantage under the unfavorable military situation and obtained things that could not be obtained on the battlefield.
In order to be able to tolerate military affairs and implement the strategy of using the civil and military control strategy to successfully implement it, Zhao Heng tried his best to promote the imperial examination. The encouragement to learn poetry is a complete "royal advertisement". Through this poem, Zhao Heng depicts the various beautiful scenery of getting rich overnight after leaping on the dragon gate, beauties thrown into their arms, and holding power. It can be called the first "cool literature" of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Heng wrote this to lure students and publicize their imperial examinations in order to make all scholars in the world crazy about their imperial examinations.
It’s not that the “smooth article” that describes the imperial examination is not good, but the guy who simplified his mind because of hard study has memorized the first cool article in the Song Dynasty and became their obsession. Once these guys become officials, the first thing they do is to use their authority to make money, slaughter, and cars for themselves...
So what else can be better in the Song Dynasty?
After all, advertisements are advertisements. They just exaggerate the efficacy, but forget that they are actually ordinary alcohol, not magic pills that can cure all diseases.
Just as exams are not the purpose, and passing exams is the purpose, studying should not be just for the sake of tickets and cars...
Youdao is "one general succeeds and thousands of bones are undone." Isn't this the battle above the literary world?
The long-term depression and obsession in my heart were finally released, and Fan Jin's ugly behavior in passing the exam can be seen.
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, which ultimately leads to the lower beam being crooked.
Which of the lucky ones who broke through the siege did not pay a heavy price?
They started from a little boy who studied hard and took exams with amazing elimination rates. It took an average of thirty years to finally pass the imperial examination.
Thirty years are enough to turn a child with a slutty voice into a wretched uncle with a beard. The most beautiful and precious young man in his life. His youth wasted his time, and the price was heavy.
This heavy weight has been pressed on the students from generation to generation.
The early stage of hunger and later stage of compensation become more and more obvious, and this kind of survivor deviation from sudden wealth will stimulate the next group of students to commit to this huge vortex in a crazy way...
Fei Qian wanted the efficacy of the "Imperial Examination" medicine, but to clearly eliminate the side effects, he had to be careful and not over-boasted about the efficacy of the Imperial Examination. At the same time, he opened up a promotion channel except for the Bachelor of Arts, so as not to crowd on a single-plank bridge, and eventually inevitably lead to mutual trampling.
How could three single-plank bridges and a thorny road be better than the feudal dynasties in later generations?
But even so, because the Han Dynasty actually had almost zero promotion space in various counties and counties, and the private recruitment of local prefects could not be recognized by the central court, so the number of people referring to this test was greatly exceeded Fei Qian's expectations.
At the same time, Fei Qian did not expect that new problems arose in this Enke exam.
Some of the old problems that were previously being solved.
For example accommodation.
This time, there were many students who came to participate in the Qinglong Temple Grand Theory. Most of these students were children of gentry from all over the country, and they were more or less accompanied by some entourages. They were scattered in various tombs and towns on weekdays. When they went to Qinglong Temple, they did not advance and retreat together. During several major debates and preachings, there were soldiers sent by Fei Qian in advance to maintain order, so there were no problems with accommodation and travel.
But there are many other new problems...
For example, when the essay examination was held in the essay examination, because there were a large number of students everywhere, the number of people naturally made things complicated and various incredible situations also occurred.
Among these students, some went to have fun on the eve of the exam, after all, there was no shortage of Le Zihun in any era; some people only found that they had forgotten to bring something after they arrived at the exam room, and even after cleaning up and checking it again and again last night, they still forgot to do it; some people stepped on shit when they went out, or they tripped their left foot on the flat ground...
All kinds of strange things will happen on the day of the exam, which is simply beyond imagination.
Some people came with alcohol, but they couldn't stand steadily, shaking, and seemed to be falling. Some were nervous and their faces turned pale, just like a thief was caught on the scene for the first time, causing the inspected soldiers to check their identities repeatedly. Some were throwing the nameplate and crying and begging to enter the examination room.
What's even more excessive is that when the time has passed, the drum has been beaten, most of the candidates have entered the venue, and they are running wildly from afar, and naturally they are unable to enter. As a result, they kneel down outside the closed door, howling, rolling around and accusing the injustice of heaven and earth, the unkindness of the cavalry, the officials and soldiers in the examination room have no human feelings at all.
Isn't it just a little bit worse?
It’s just the effort of the front and back, can’t you wait for a while?
As for whether his howling would cause some negative impacts on the students in the exam room, these guys did not consider it at all, saying that they were so miserable. Can others be more compassionate? Without compassion, can they still be like a person?
Such things are more complicated when there are more people referring to them.
Sima Yi stood on the platform with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at the students who were crying and scolding outside the examination room, frowned and said to the minor official beside him: "Boll them away quickly! If you disobey, follow the crime of disturbing the gate!"
The minor official quickly took the soldiers and held sticks to knock the students away, which reduced the noise at the entrance of the examination room.
"What rules should be followed outside the examination room? How many punishments should be followed? Now the law of the law school is becoming more and more lazy. Is the lord completely fine without giving any explanation? Well... Is it because of this? My lord asked me to preside over this exam?
It seems that it is OK to deal with it by rushing to the government office gate, but it cannot be considered very appropriate after all.
Sima Yi thought to himself. Now that he is the Minister of Dali Temple, he is naturally paying more and more attention to the law. The examination of General Cavalry has been held many times, but there is still no formed law. He did not sit in the examination room before, so he naturally did not pay much attention. Now that he is the chief examiner, it has also aroused Sima Yi's thoughts.
For example, those who have reached Sima Yi’s current position are basically not fools, and no one wants to be fools.
Including Sima Yi, the middle and upper-level political officials of the General Fei Qian of the Cavalry, all understood one thing: such an examination model will continue to be promoted and will eventually become an important way to select talents.
Perhaps some people had some concerns before, but seeing more and more people participating in this examination mode and gaining benefits from it, even the stupidest people understand that the general trend cannot be violated.
These officials who were promoted from the exam and gradually entered the court will, as long as they could be stable for ten years or even shorter, some of these people will become famous and will take the position of the central government. Then this examination system will be completely stabilized as these people control the authority in the central government.
This is easy to understand.
Before serving as the chief examiner of this exam, Sima Yi was called by Fei Qian. In addition to telling the news from Shangdang, the others were talking about the examination model. As the current examination model gradually expanded, this basic screening examination for candidates will be transferred to counties and counties.
In other words, Fei Qian is preparing to launch the second-level examination mode.
Similar to county examinations and commemorative examinations, there may be lower-level provincial examinations in the future.
This preliminary screening and examination model for talents that are prepared to be delegated to the county level will require a relatively standardized and prohibited process system, as well as regulatory measures.
This is Sima Yi’s main job this time.
Although he was somewhat worried about his father Sima Fang, he was allegedly relieved of the threat of pursuers and arrived at Shangdang under Zhang Ji's escort, and even if he was basically safe. Therefore, Sima Yi told Fei Qian that he could be competent for the job of the chief examiner and there would be no problem.
Seeing that the time for the instructions on the drip was approaching, Sima Yi nodded to the door inspector Zongli on the side.
Zong Li was from Anding County, Nanyang, Jingzhou. He came when a large number of Jingzhou people moved to Guanzhong last time. He was also a civil servant selected after examinations. He had a good literary background. In Jingzhao Yin Ren, he was responsible for the official integrity and was transferred to serve as the "door prosecutor" in the examination room.
The door inspection system was newly established. Although it was also available before, it was basically relatively simple.
It is precisely because of the simple supervision before that, in the last few exams, another new problem appeared, which is fraud.
As the number of reference users increases, there must be certain means to conduct quick preliminary screening. Adding some fill-in-the-blank questions is obviously the most appropriate model.
There are policies above and countermeasures below. As the simple screening model for fill-in-the-blank questions increases during the exam, the number of people who cheat is also increasing.
This appeared in the last exam. Some people tried to snatch, some people just peeked in the exam room, and some people even tried to bribe the invigilator...
There are always more ways than difficulties.
How bold a person is, how rich the land is.
Such things are different.
Cheating, plagiarism, piracy.
According to Youwensi's spy, many candidates have made some bad ideas in this exam and must be stopped in time, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Because there were several exams before, only the policy theory, and even the "pastoral system" was tested in semi-public, even if the examination model has been improved, the test questions will no longer be announced in advance. However, some candidates still plan to do a good job of the article first, bring it in to copy, or hit a few questions first, and copy which one is close.
It is said that this time many candidates bet on "serious and correct answers" and the topic of "China Four Terms"...
Some of them are written by themselves and then memorized after memorizing them. This is not a big problem, just like the ones in later generations who did not have pre-test questions? The big problem is those who simply ask gunmen to replace them and are too lazy to memorize them, and just want to copy an article on the spot.
Are you cheating? It’s simple and easy, so happy, so good!
In later generations, China still paid little attention to copyright, patents, technology, and related mental outputs, and even openly supported it, allowing or acquiesced to cheat, plagiarize, and piracy, and profit from it. At the same time, it also ridiculed the original creator for being stingy, financially abusive, or lacking in layout.
There are countless articles for fraud, fraud of copyright, theft of creativity, etc.
When the whole country is poor and even food and clothing become a problem, it is naturally the first priority to survive.
But when there is no problem of food and clothing, and it can be said that after having a certain amount of money in your hands, you still only think about cheating, plagiarism and piracy in your head. Especially when the country is obviously going to transform into the direction of developing technology and developing productivity, some people still regard cheating, plagiarism and piracy as honor, and think that they have the ability to cheat, plagiarism and piracy, which is very problematic.
Sima Yi's attitude is that once he finds that these students have problems, he should be completely eliminated and knocked to death with one stick...
But Fei Qian said that he should give him some chance. After all, no one is perfect. If he makes a mistake, as long as he is willing to make a real mistake, it is always better than those guys who have to gild their faces even if he doesn't correct it.
So when Zong Li arrived at the scene, he faced the candidates who were lined up to enter the examination room and said, "Everyone! Talent is the most important thing to be fair! When entering the examination room, gains and losses depend on their knowledge. If you have the intention of plagiarism and fraud in the examination room, you will definitely be the official to work hard for the people! The cavalry is kind and I wish to give you a chance to repent. If you have any copying of all kinds of articles and attempt to cheat, you can abandon them all within ten breaths, and you will not be treated as fraud! If you are obsessed with them, you will not be punished by fraud once you find out that in addition to being punished on the spot, your names will be widely distributed and notified the county and county, and you will not be allowed to take office in your lifetime! I hope you don't make mistakes!"
After saying that, Zong Li paused for a while and asked the candidates to think about it, then ordered: "Everyone in the examination room, the soldiers and inspectors, all stood with their eyes closed and they waited for a few dozen breaths before they could take the examination and check in!"
"Ten, nine, eight..." Zong Li closed his eyes first, and then began to count slowly.
After Zong Li issued the order to open his eyes, some miscellaneous things indeed appeared on the ground.
Sima Yi, who was standing on the high platform, sneered twice and asked the little official beside him, "Have you remembered it all?"
The little official next to him quickly said, "I have recorded it all."
The General of the Cavalry was kind, but Sima Yi was not kind. He planned to keep all these guys who were fucked. Maybe he would be a minor official in this life, but he would not think about being an official. He would always think about being a prostitute. When dealing with his own knowledge, he would be falsified. If he wanted to be an official, he could still do things really?
But because of the order of the cavalry, Sima Yi will not investigate these people on the spot.
Zong Li was also a little amazed at the miscellaneous items in the field, but he didn't say anything else, just ordered the search and inspection.
These candidates began to line up to pass through the newly built passage one by one as required, and only then did they realize that what Zong Li said before was not just a saying...
The first thing to check is clothing. Whether it is a hat or a robe, it must be taken off and checked in turn by two people. Then a special person must check the remaining single clothes on his body.
Next is to search for items you carry, pens, inkstones, and some food.
Of course, what is better than later generations is that there is a cloth curtain before entering the inspection room, so at least when taking off your clothes, you won’t be seen by a long list of people behind you.
Some people were very dissatisfied, so they shouted and insulted, and were forked out by soldiers.
But more people lower their heads and undergo examinations.
There are inevitably lucky people at all times. Although they are not as perverted as when the imperial examination system was complete in later generations, even the anus and belly buttons must be checked, they also found several students who still refused to give up cheating. They were immediately pressed to the ground by the soldiers inspector and shackled them out for public display.
When they were caught, these guys cried loudly, saying that they regretted the past and hoped to be able to open the Internet and get another forgiveness. They must have studied hard and improved every day, but whether it was Zong Li or other officials and soldiers, they all looked coldly, as if they heard the chirping of several autumn cicadas before the end of the world.
Immediately, the origins and names of these guys were found out, and even the announcement was made loudly in the examination room, which made people from the same hometown or county feel a little offended by these guys. I spat and expressed my contempt for such people and my innocence.
"This...is really...
『…』
In the waiting queue, I don’t know when there were more “miss”.
Zong Li frowned in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said nothing. Although he said he would not pursue the matter within ten breaths, in fact, as long as he had not entered the inspection shed, he would not directly put on the shackles and show them to the public.
After all, the inspection system has just begun, and many rules and regulations need to be continuously improved in the future.
Chapter completed!
