Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 353: If you don’t choose this person, he is not good at literature and ethics.
Chapter 353: If you don’t choose this person, he is not good at literature and ethics.
Today, I have the ambition to live on my salary and taste my courage. After I came to the throne, I worked hard all day and night, and devoted myself to seeking treatment. Unfortunately, God failed to fulfill my wish, and successive years of famine made it difficult for him to support his family. In these years, there were conflicts between the imperial court, Meng Yuan and Beidi, and the two tribes also suffered from disasters.
Small, but military reports have been suppressed, why? In years of famine, tranquility at the border becomes particularly important.
Thinking of this, Mr. Huang looked at the first volume of the study placed on the long desk and sighed secretly.
This exam paper really comes at the wrong time.
The overall situation, everything is for the sake of the overall situation.
The country is in turmoil, famines are everywhere, and refugees continue. Therefore, the first priority is to control the chaos. Otherwise, evils will arise over time, and harms will continue to occur. How can the people be at peace? If the border is not peaceful, stir up trouble with the Di people.
A war will definitely lead to corruption of national affairs.
As a veteran of the two dynasties, Mr. Huang is also well aware of the difficulties faced by Emperor Chun. He also knows the wolfish heart of the Di people and their unending desire to spy on our country. However, now the imperial court can only rely on the Liaodong border defense to support it, and only hopes that it can be restored soon.
The domestic situation is in chaos, so we can free up our hands to deal with the northern captives.
At this time, if a person with strong rhetoric is selected as the Huiyuan, I am afraid that some misjudgments will occur in the north, which will be harmful to the overall situation.
What Wang Ding said was specious and full of praise. However, the officials present were also smart people, so they could naturally hear the implication of the examiner's words. The room official in the study even tightened his hands, with a look of surprise on his face, as if he was
He shouted in his heart, "It's stable!" As a house official of a Huiyuan in a subject, he also benefited a lot. If this Huiyuan becomes prosperous in the future, not only will he benefit from his career, but he will also bless future generations.
This favor is real and can be passed down from generation to generation!
Silence, silence that lasted for more than ten breaths.
Mr. Huang dejectedly put down the hand he raised during the argument.
Some people were happy, some sighed, and some showed confident and stable expressions.
"Mr. President, I have a question..."
As the deputy examiner, Chen Meng suddenly turned around, cupped his hands towards Wang Ding, and asked: "Now that the name has been removed, I wonder if you can wait until I see the original paper to make a judgment?"
Wang Ding's eyes moved and he glanced at Chen Meng, who gave him a harmless smile.
According to the system, after the draft list is filled out, the examiners can remove the names and fill in the list after consultation. Now, in front of everyone, there are the ink scrolls after the names are placed, including the main papers and preparation papers for each room. This is because the candidates who will fill in the list for the examination
Regional divisions also need to be considered.
The Xia Dynasty inherited the Ming system and selected scholars in three volumes: north, middle, and south. The standard was 100 people. Fifty people were selected from the south, thirty-five people were selected from the north, and fifteen people were selected from the middle. The selection of scholars from the north and south originated from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.
In the case of the North-South Ranking List, all the candidates admitted by the examiner at that time were from the south. No northerner was included in the ranking, which caused an uproar among the scholars. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a thorough investigation and finally conducted the questioning himself. All the candidates selected were from the north.
.
Some people criticize that the ranking of the north and the south is a hotbed of party struggle in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, but it cannot be denied that this does have a fair effect in taking into account the level of school running in various places. As for the matter of officials uniting with each other based on their fellow villagers, it is in Jialan's place.
There are also a lot of problems in the future, and it is really inappropriate to one-sidedly blame it on the North and South rankings.
However, selecting candidates based on the ranking list has its own cruelties. For example, if a candidate has a good evaluation in arts and sciences, if the quota in front of him is full, he has to be reduced from the main examination to the preparation examination, and then eliminated from the preparation examination.
As for what Chen Meng said about taking a look at the ink scroll, as he said, since the name has been removed, what about taking a look?
"Can."
After pondering for a moment, Wang Ding nodded, but stared directly at Chen Meng, as if he wanted to understand this person's purpose, but Chen Meng only smiled in return and didn't say much.
Soon the two first papers were circulated among the examiners.
"The first volume of Shifang is from Jingu Academy."
At this time, someone remembered from his place of origin and the names of his father and ancestors that he was also a son of a bureaucrat, and his father was the chief envoy of a province.
Let’s look at another volume.
"The first volume in the study is actually written by Jia Lan of Rongguo Mansion!" When they saw that the first volume of the book was written by Jia Lan of Rongguo Mansion in Xinke Jieyuan, many examiners exclaimed: "How old is he? How knowledgeable he is.
It’s so deep that it’s even more generous than a long-standing Confucian scholar!”
They have all read Jialan's articles, and they are full of praise for several of his articles.
Most of the reviewers came from the Hanlin Academy or the Imperial College, and at the very least they still had the character of a scholar. Although Wang Ding said that Jia Lan's writings were too offensive and inconsistent with today's major political policies, good articles are good, and they did not bother to belittle them maliciously.
Suddenly someone said: "Colleagues, look at the word Jialan!"
I saw a marking officer put Jialan's ink scroll together with that of another person. The latter's handwriting was in Guange style, with regular handwriting but lacking some heat, while Jialan's real handwriting pen was so powerful that it penetrated the back of the paper.
However, the stippling jumps, and there is a hint of stillness in the movement, stretching like clouds and flowing water, which can be said to be a decisive decision.
Chen Meng spoke at the right time: "It is said that words are like the person they are. Judging from the handwriting, Jia Lan's temperament is not that of an overly aggressive person. Look at the elegant writing style, but he looks like a free and easy-going person."
This comment was just right. Everyone nodded, but Wang Ding frowned slightly.
"President!"
Mr. Huang from the Book of Songs room felt more and more pity as he read it. He only felt that compared with Jia Lan, the first volume in the Book of Songs room was nothing. After thinking about it again and again, he took a step forward and held his hand towards Wang Ding and said loudly: "President's words."
This son's aggressive spirit is too high. From my perspective, this is just the words of a young man. However, this son's talent is rare in this country.
Lu Fangweng said, "Although young people are wild, they are limited. They can be arrogant and worried when they are drunk." Although Jia Lan is young, he has a heart of worry. There is a saying in the article he wrote, "The people of Di today will control the land of our territory. The people are ours."
When we fight, who will cause death or injury? This is also the heart of caring about the country. Don't you hear what "Zuo Zhuan" said, "When disaster comes, you forget your worries, because worries will surely come to you"?
And the book is like Ye, like his learning, like his talent, like his ambition, in short, just like the person. Just based on the word Jia Lan, I can still recognize the person when I judge him.
A ruler does not have to worry about having no talent, but he has to gather all the talents in the world and not be able to teach. If the president has any concerns, I will immediately write a letter after leaving the Ministry of Etiquette, asking the Holy Emperor to keep him in the Hanlin Academy for a few years to educate him after the examination.
If it is calm, it can cultivate talents and create scholars, which will be a great blessing to the country!"
Wang Ding, who had always been indifferent to others, finally had a slight wavering on his face. His intuition from having been an official for many years told him that things seemed to be starting to get out of control.
For some reason, he began to feel a little irritable, but facing Mr. Huang with a resolute expression, Wang Ding still tried his best to suppress his emotions and said slowly: "I have said that it is not appropriate for this son to be Huiyuan."
"President!"
Mr. Huang stood solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Nowadays, there are people from all over the world who have a mind for all corners of the world. How can they be blamed just because of the boy's words? If the CEO only uses this matter to eliminate Jia Lan's Huiyuan, and uses articles to discuss articles, Jia Lan
You deserve to be named Huiyuan, but I don’t accept it!”
Hearing this, Wang Ding's face gradually turned livid.
The other examiners did not expect that this old man Huang could be so strong and strong, which made the examiner unable to get off the stage, and they all fell silent for a moment.
At this time, Chen Meng turned to Wang Ding and said: "President, to be honest, Jia Lan's articles are profound, profound and clear in purpose. It is not an exaggeration to call several of them models of Chengwen in the world. If it were not for Jieyuan, I would publish the list the next day."
I’m afraid that the world will criticize me and say that we and other marking officials are short-sighted.”
Everyone woke up in horror.
Yes! Apart from other things, the paper of the Five Classics Leader must have been posted on the west outer wall of the Ministry of Rites compound along with the big list when the list was released. By judging the articles, it is clear at a glance which one is better. If it is a paper like Jia Lan's
They couldn't even be ranked in Huiyuan but only ranked fifth. As reviewers, they shouldn't be scolded by Shilin? What Old Man Huang said is indeed true. Today's world is strict, but there is also a kind side. When doing practical things, telling the truth
He has always been tolerant of officials.
When they looked at Chen Meng again, everyone's eyes became friendly, and they felt that he was worthy of being the official of the Ministry of Justice and that he was indeed unique.
The deputy chief examiner of the Ministry of Etiquette, who had been silent until now, spoke now: "President, in my opinion, Jia Lan can be the leader!"
Chen Meng followed immediately and said: "If this article is not taken, the literati will have no bones and the literary skills will not be outstanding!"
Several Hanlin officials in the hall stood up one after another.
"I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
Looking at the situation that was becoming uncontrollable in an instant, Wang Ding clenched his fists and held a ball of fire in his eyes!
