As the highest academic institution in the Western Song Dynasty, the Imperial College was not open to anyone, nor did it require good grades to enter.
Those who study here are roughly divided into two categories, one is for official students and the other is for people's students.
Official students are the children of officials at all levels, also called Xun Qixi Du.
People's livelihood refers to the handsome folk recommended by local officials.
The people's livelihood also includes the promotion of prisons and tribute prisons.
Similar to Du Changwen, although he was selected for the examination, he was not recommended by the Qingzhou Prefecture due to his poor performance. Therefore, if he wanted to enter the Imperial College, he had to wait until he took part in this year's examination.
After completing the formalities, you still have to pay three pieces of silk before you can study in the Imperial College.
However, the Imperial College has a class classification system. After entering, you have to take an exam to determine which class to study in.
The Imperial College has a total of six halls, namely Suixing Hall, Chengxin Hall, Chongzhi Hall, Xiudao Hall, Zhengyi Hall, and Guangye Hall.
When entering the Sixth Hall of the Imperial College, students are divided into classes regardless of their age, and are only graded based on their grades upon entering the prison.
Those with poor grades can go to Guangye Hall, Zhengyi Hall, and Xiudao Hall.
With moderate grades, he entered Chengxintang and Chongzhitang.
Suixingtang is the highest grade in the Imperial College. The semester is one year, and graduation is determined by a points system.
There were several students taking the exam with him, all of whom were recommended candidates from other places who were going to the Imperial College.
Fu Jiu also met an acquaintance, Xie He from Qingzhou Prefecture.
Xie He won the second place in the imperial examination in Qingzhou Prefecture, which disappointed everyone who had been looking forward to him.
At the same time, Fu Jiu, the dark horse, was skeptical.
On the closing day, many people in front of Hongyun Tower heard Master Taifu saying that Fu Jiu was his son!
With such a relationship, it would be abnormal for Fu Jiu not to rank first in Jieyuan.
"Brother Fu, you came early!" Xie He was very friendly when he saw him.
"Thank you, brother." Fu Jiu cupped his hands.
"Three of the five people taking this exam are from our Qingzhou Prefecture. This is Zhang Huaqing, whom you should have met."
Fu Jiu looked at Zhang Huaqing. Although it was not the first time he had seen him, he was in a crowd, so he could not be said to know him.
Zhang Huaqing snorted coldly and looked away from Fu Jiu.
Fu Jiu frowned and a faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
Xie He was a little embarrassed. Before he could say anything, the doctor who was taking the exam over there had already arrived.
From the top to the bottom of the Imperial College, there are the sacrificial wine, the clerk, then the five doctors, and the master at the bottom.
The doctor's position is very special. He also manages student teaching, but he also has the right to govern the internal affairs of the Imperial College.
For example, Master is just here to teach.
Si Ye, on the other hand, is the person who mainly manages the affairs of the Imperial College under the sacrificial wine.
After the exam, Fu Jiu handed in the papers, said something to Xie He, and left.
"I don't know which class I can be assigned to."
"He will definitely be assigned to Suixing Hall." Zhang Huaqing snorted coldly and spoke angrily.
"This Imperial College only looks at grades, how can you get into it just because you want to?"
"I have a great master, how can I not come in?"
Xie He wanted to persuade him, but he sighed when he saw this.
"Brother Xie, aren't you angry? The original number one position was yours!"
"If some things are not mine, then they are not mine, so why bother with them."
"You are so generous!"
Zhang Huaqing was originally the person who was expected to take the third place in Qingzhou Prefecture.
But out of nowhere, Fu Jiu appeared and took first place.
Zhang Huaqing got fourth in the exam.
Although there is only one difference between the fourth and the third, the difference is in heaven and earth.
