Four hundred and thirtieth chapters seven grab one
As the saying goes, you should do your best and obey fate. After tearing up Zhang Shoufu and meeting Master Xia, Qin Dewei has finished his work.
At this time, there were only a few days before the palace examination. Qin Dewei once again stayed at home, not even going to the Xu family. He only concentrated on preparing for the palace examination. The only thing left was to listen to fate.
As for Qin Dewei's surrender and speculation about the examiner, the Ministry of Punishment simply acquitted him and that was it. Anyway, there was no relevant prohibition in the law, and no one wanted to pursue it.
Chen Feng and Xu Gu, the Jinling duo, are a little confused about Qin Dewei's behavior. There is no such thing as elimination in the imperial examination. Do they need to be so serious about sharpening their guns in battle?
Moreover, the palace examination is a policy essay, not an eight-part essay. It all depends on daily accumulation. Unless you get the test questions, there is little point in sharpening your skills in battle.
Qin Dewei sighed: "I come from a poor family. From studying to the county examination, from the government examination to the road examination, then to winning the place in the township examination, and from the township examination to the general examination, I have gone through many hardships all the way.
I don’t know how much energy I spent during this period and how many people I dealt with. Now we are approaching the end of the imperial examination. Of course I want a perfect result."
The two men from Jinling were just about to echo a few words out of habit: "Brother Qin, life is so difficult. It's not easy. It's too difficult."
Then they realized, you, Qin Dewei, are already on the gold medal list when you are only seventeen years old. This life is so hard!
If it is difficult to become a master's degree at the age of sixteen and pass the exam at the age of seventeen, then what are the names of those who fail to pass the provincial examination in their lifetime, or those who are still in their fifties and sixties?
In fact, the reason why Qin Dewei actively prepared for the palace examination was to gain a clear idea, because the palace examination should be the type of examination that he is relatively best at.
All the exams this time were through the back door. I always felt that something was missing. I wanted to see if the palace exam could make up for my inner shortcomings and get a good result using real materials.
That's why Qin Dewei said: "Third points are destined, and seven points depend on hard work! Hard work! Struggle!"
Chen Feng was speechless. These words coming from Qin Dewei's mouth are not convincing at all.
In other words, the direction of your efforts, Qin Dewei, has always been different from others!
But Xu Gu, a member of the Huiyuan Dynasty, said very realistically: "There are no ministers from Yingtian Mansion in the Chao Zhong Cabinet, so what is the use of our efforts."
Why does Qin Dewei always laugh at himself for "cheating Biying Tianfu"?
In other places, people in the same province can be called township parties, but this is definitely not the case in South Zhili. I have never heard of a township party in South Zhili. They are called township parties in each prefecture.
But among all the mansions, Yingtian Mansion is much weaker than Su Song and Chang Hui, leaving Qin Dewei speechless!
Old Man Gu, who went to some province to serve as chief envoy, was actually the highest-ranking official in Yingtian Mansion, and he was completely speechless in the court!
What else could Qin Dewei do? He could only figure it out on his own.
"I have some experience, so you should be more prepared!" Qin Dewei kindly reminded the two of them, saying that if you can help the township party, do whatever you can to help them.
Chen Feng responded: "This is not like an eight-part article with a limited scope. How to prepare for it?"
Putting aside the useless ones, Qin Dewei expressed his own experience, or historical experience: "Of course there are routines for the palace examination questions!
At the beginning, I must first talk about the three dynasties. The Han, Tang, and Song dynasties are not as good as the three dynasties, but our dynasty has its foundation and fortune, and its ancestors are sage and wise, far surpassing the Han, Tang, and Song dynasties.
Then they will say that in recent years, the country has encountered such and such problems, and ask the candidates to talk about their solutions.
The specific questions raised can generally be summarized into two categories. One is personnel management, how to employ people, select or seek talents, etc.
The other major category is national policies, which generally do not include border affairs, money and food, and people's livelihood. Therefore, we can prepare for these aspects."
After Chen Feng and Xu Gu listened, they felt that they heard nothing. Although it made sense, it was still of little use.
Is it possible to prepare so many policy ideas and read all relevant books? It’s only a few days now, and it’s impossible to do that.
Only those who usually have extensive knowledge and extensive knowledge of books can now directly start drafting in a targeted manner.
Everyone has his or her own ambitions and talents, so Qin Dewei will not force himself on others.
Anyway, he had majored in Ming history in his previous life, and had stored a lot of information in his mind, so Golden Finger could still use it.
Follow several general directions, search your memory, and write some outlines in advance.
When it comes to the exam, if you encounter similar questions, you will continue to search your memory to further enrich the outline, and it will be like writing a simplified version of a master's and doctoral thesis.
On March 30th, the imperial court announced the list of people who would be sent to read the papers for the palace examination, seal the seals, and supervise the examination.
Zhang Fujing, the first assistant, is the chief reader, the cabinet bachelor, the nine foreign ministers, Dong Qi, and Huo Tao are the reviewers.
In the palace examination, the examiner is nominally the emperor, so these ministers cannot be called examiners, but can only be called paper readers, but in fact they play the role of examiners.
In addition, Du Qixi, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, was appointed as the official official. In an instant, Doctor Du felt the greatest pressure.
The sealing officer's responsibility is to seal the candidate's information on the test paper and then transfer it to the reading officer responsible for ranking.
Therefore, the key to the official seal is that he is the last deacon official who can see the name of the candidate before marking.
If you have a good memory, you can remember the identities of the candidates behind a few more test papers.
The reason why such key positions are selected from the Ministry of Industry is probably because the Minister of the Ministry of Industry has a relatively small say in the imperial examination. Everything is a political balance.
However, other powerful officials can also interfere with Mi Fengguan.
For example, after this appointment, Doctor Du Qixi and Doctor Du received greetings from many big shots on the night of March 30th.
There are some greetings that you can reject based on your principles. He, Dr. Du, cannot satisfy everyone's needs. But there are other greetings that you have to consider.
In fact, if you just say hello, it's not too difficult. It just depends on the distance of friendship and the level of power.
What really put Dr. Du into trouble was that there were actually seven big bosses whom he dared not name, who wanted to get Qin Dewei's test paper in the imperial examination!
Except for Zhang Shoufu, the chief reader who does not have to divide the test papers, there are a total of fourteen readers.
Before the palace examination even started, half of the examiners asked for the examination papers of Qin Dewei, the candidate for the examination in Yingtian Mansion!
Mr. Du has been an official for more than ten years and has never encountered such a difficult situation. Are these big guys going crazy?
Is there such a huge benefit from just a broken test paper? Is it worth such a disrespectful grab?
Seven big bosses compete for a test paper. This is a strange situation that has never been seen in my life!
So Du Langzhong didn't know what to do at all, and all his official experience was completely useless.
In the previous term, it was an errand that could be profited by the opportunity, but in his term, it turned out to be a tinderbox-like errand.
With everyone having their own thoughts, the day of Yiwei Ke Palace Examination in the 14th year of Jiajing, which is held once every three years and attracts worldwide attention, has arrived.
