Chapter two hundred and seventy-two search papers Wu
Although I am young, I have written more and more articles;
Waiting to see fifteen or six, I will pass the exam in one fell swoop.
Zhu Ping'an curled his lips slightly and recited this prodigy poem silently. He looked at the various expressions of the candidates queuing up and felt extremely calm. Because I have not wasted any time, I have lived up to my time, and my time will not treat me badly.
The waiting time was long. There were soldiers holding torches all around, and braziers were burning everywhere. The whole place was bright.
More than 5,000 examinees from 13 provinces under the direct control of the North and South gathered outside the gate, carrying examination baskets and bedding on their backs. They lined up in a long line like migrant workers who squeezed into the train during the Chinese New Year, waiting to enter.
This scene made Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but think of the Spring Festival travel season, so he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
While Zhu Ping'an and others were queuing up outside to wait for the exam, the inner curtain officers and outer curtain officers inside the gate were making arrangements closely for this exam.
There are two examiners in this examination. The main examiner is Xu Jie, the Minister of Rites, who is a senior official of the first rank. The deputy examiner is Yan Maoqing, the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The left deputy Du Yushi, a senior official of the third rank, is also Yan
An important member of the party; there are also eight fellow examiners. These people are the inner curtain officers of this examination.
For this examination, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Etiquette was appointed as the promoter, who was also a member of the Yan Party. In addition, there were two censors who were responsible for supervising the examination, supplying, collecting the examination papers, sealing, recording, reading, and receiving the examination papers.
Each has a certain number of personnel to patrol the prison gates and so on. These people are the outer curtain officers for this examination.
Of course, the main force is still the soldiers responsible for maintaining order, inspections, security and other tasks.
After the mobilization meeting of the inner and outer curtain officers is completed, the outer curtain officers will be responsible for releasing the candidates in batches according to the region to wait for the examination.
The Nanzhili examination area where Zhu Pingan is located is the second batch to enter. After the first batch of Shandong candidates entered, the Nanzhili examinees where Zhu Pingan is located are carrying their bags in the envious eyes of candidates from other areas.
There was a rush towards the gate, queuing up to check in.
After hundreds of candidates from all over South Zhili entered the gate, several soldiers closed the gate, and then a middle-aged official in official robes, surrounded by four officials, walked out of the crowd.
"Dear heroes, I am the supervisor of this examination, and one of my responsibilities is to supervise the inspection and inspection. You are all outstanding heroes from all over the country who have passed the provincial examination, and you are the best in each place. You are all in the song "
"Lu Ming", originally we could not use the method of dealing with thieves to prevent you from being elected, but the state-owned legal family has family rules, and this examination is a gift from the Holy One. I believe that you are as grateful as I am. In order to repay the gift from the Holy One, this examination
The trial inspection of suspects will be carried out in strict accordance with the rules. I also came through this inspection, and I believe that all the talented people can understand me."
This middle-aged official in official robes was one of the two supervisors. He walked up to the candidates in Nanzhili and spoke with a serious face.
"I'll start with my ugly words. If any of you dares to carry texts, manuscripts or other things that shouldn't be brought into the venue, once found out, they will be sent to the Military and Horse Division for questioning immediately. The shackles will be sent back after one month.
The place of origin is confirmed as an official, and the title of a civil servant is revoked. From now on, he will never take the scientific examination again, and he will not be promoted in any way! All officials and sergeants who are responsible for checking the suspects should also be strictly responsible. The check will be repeated in two times. If
If a problem is found in the later search, the former will be punished. If a problem is found in the Gongyuan, both the first and second officers will be punished. The sergeant will be transferred to a remote guard station. The official will be fined for one year."
Under the stern instructions given by the supervisor, the atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly became serious.
"I advise you to cherish your hard-earned fame. Before I announce the start of the search, you still have a chance to remove the illegal items that you don't carry very much. I will let the past go. From now on, I will give you
Ten breaths of time."
The middle-aged official said, then waved his hand, and all the officials and sergeants present turned their backs to the candidate. The direction of the candidate formed a visual blind spot, and no movement of the candidate could be seen.
Then
Zhu Pingan saw some small notes, wax balls, palm-sized pamphlets, etc. The cheaters were thrown aside one after another at the foot of the wall, and there was even a porcelain pillow.
Well, Juren also makes cheat sheets.
Sure enough, everyone was the same. Zhu Pingan couldn't help but laugh. Just like when he was a graduate student, graduate students used various methods to take exams. They soaked small transparent adhesive strips in clean water and stuck them on the water cup.
WeChat sharing groups, printed cheat sheets, etc.
"Very good, let's start the search."
Ten breaths later, the middle-aged official looked at the various cheat sheets on the ground, nodded with satisfaction, and signaled the officers and sergeants in charge of the inspection to divide the candidates into groups and start inspection.
Officials were watching on the side, and soldiers were responsible for the specific inspection work.
The inspection of the gifts and supplies brought is similar to that of the provincial examination. Clothes, hats, robes, insoles, socks, etc. will all be searched. Clothes are not lined, the cushions can only be one layer, the inkstone is too thick, and the writing brush
It has to be hollowed out, and the food has to be cut up, etc. It’s similar to the provincial examination.
After watching the whole process of the first candidate being searched, Zhu Ping'an still had to say that the search in the general examination was much stricter than that in the provincial examination and the children's examination, because in addition to the gifts and supplies you brought, your entire body also had to be inspected.
Subject to strict body search.
How to search? Just take off your clothes and let several soldiers grab you all over your body. The search can be said to be meticulous. How can I put it? For example, the following are all necessary procedures.
Open your mouth, um, there's nothing hidden in your mouth. Look at your ears, um, there's nothing hidden in your ears and eyes. And your hair, um, there's nothing in your hair either. Are there any tattoos or ink marks on your body?
After checking these places where things can be hidden, there is one more place, you know, you should also check it.
I watched the people at the front being examined with red faces and thick necks, and I watched the soldiers conduct meticulous and deliberate inspections.
Zhu Ping'an had a deeper understanding of a sentence, that is, "when a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why." This sentence may have come from this time.
When a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain!
The interaction between most literati and soldiers probably started at this time in Gongyuan. The soldiers were carrying waist knives and were very majestic. The arrogant and arrogant civil servants on ordinary days now lowered their heads like the third grandson, looking even more wilted under the scorching sun.
How tired they were, the soldiers were yelling at them, and they didn't even dare to fart. In this way, the ministers had to go through the process of being searched and escorted one by one to verify their identity, and the soldiers also took the opportunity to vent their anger.
It was disrespectful to the people who held the ceremony. During the search, every detail was taken, including taking off the clothes and opening the grain path.
Literati are such proud beings, they have to put on a good show when they die, and yet they have to be treated like this at this time.
Why do literati always have trouble with warriors in history? Why do so many literati use all their means to punish warriors?
Why?
Where did they get so much anger and hatred?
Now that I think about it, I guess I was humiliated by the soldiers when I was applying for the exam, and my resentment was so deep that I lost my temper and lost my temper. (To be continued)
