Tong Derong returned to the Confucius Temple, and his behavior was very different from before.

With a polite smile, he pushed away the scholars who came up to argue with him, rushed into the room and closed the door to thank the guests.

He didn't leave his room for three days and three nights, and even food and drinks were brought in by Ming soldiers.

Three days later, when the scholars felt more and more strange, he walked out of the room with red eyes and high spirits.

Someone noticed that he first called a soldier, handed over a roll of paper and explained something solemnly.

Next, he walked towards the main hall.

The curious people followed him to see what he was going to do.

Tong Derong came outside the main hall, beat the bell himself, and rang the bell.

"Oh" The people following him understood that he was gathering the crowd, as if he wanted to announce something.

A quarter of an hour later, except for the scholars who were out for sightseeing, all the people who stayed gathered in the square outside the main hall.

Tong Derong looked at the crowd of scholars below, smiled energetically, coughed twice to clear his throat, and then used his poor inner strength to concentrate in his throat, making a sound that shocked the whole audience.

"According to the order of the Mingjiao Military Aircraft Department, a talent selection ceremony is planned to be held on the 18th of this month. Those who pass the examination can enter the Mingjiao Talent Reserve Class."

Immediately there was a "buzzing" sound in the square.

At this time, the scholars were not all weaklings who were obsessed with studying. There were still some who knew martial arts. So some people shocked the whole audience and asked, "Isn't that still the imperial examination?"

The scholars nodded one after another.

Some of them have participated in the imperial examination of the Yuan Dynasty in March this year, and some have not. There are two reasons for those who have not participated. One is that they may not want to serve the Mongols; the other is that they are not people with "both political integrity and talent".

If you are from a bad family background or don't have enough money, and no one recommends you, you will not be qualified for the imperial examination.

But regardless of whether you have participated in it or not, everyone knows what will be tested in the imperial examination.

The imperial examinations of the Yuan Dynasty were divided into three sections for Han and Southerners.

In the first session of Ming Jing, there were two questions about the meaning of the sutra, but no four books or five classics were found.

In the second scene of ancient fu, there is one imperial edict, one edict, one Zhang, and one table each.

The third strategy is to create a topic within the classics, history and current affairs.

Only after three games have passed will you be eligible to select officials.

Therefore, the crowd discussed and discussed, and they all believed that as long as the Mingjiao wanted to be orthodox, it would not have such stereotypes.

Tong Derong waited for them to quarrel for a while, then he kept his short beard and continued to shout over the audience: "It's not an imperial examination, our Mingjiao is a civil service qualification examination!"

"Oh, you think changing the name means it's not the imperial examination? It's not the same as before!" Someone jumped out to sing the opposite.

Tong Derong smiled slightly, twirled his beard again, and said: "This is different. We only take two types of questions, application and practical tests."

"What is the application of theory and practice?" The scholars paid attention to it.

Tong Derong explained: "It's very simple. The application means that we give a part of the content for you to analyze, put forward opinions, and demonstrate. The practice test is even simpler. It tests everyone's abilities accumulated through life, reading and doing things.

.The specific interpretation, I have ordered my subordinates to post it on the wall of the gate, you can go and take a look."

Most of the people who came here still wanted to make a difference, so as soon as Tong Derong finished speaking, most of the people in the square ran away.

There were only a few dozen people walking leisurely and leisurely outside.

Tong Derong took a deep look at them, trying to remember them all and focus on them. Either these people were confident and talented, or they pretended to be cool but were just idiots.

Not long after, the gate of the Confucian Temple was surrounded by a sea of ​​people. Not only the scholars were watching, but passers-by were also attracted.

People kept asking people around them: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Don't you know how to see it yourself?"

"If you don't know how to read, please tell me."

"I can't read either!"

"Pfft, you two are so illiterate. Let me go in and take a look." A young man in white laughed and squeezed in.

"I fucked him, I really wanted to beat him to death."

"No, no, haven't you seen that there are many people wearing headscarves here? We can't afford to offend them."

…

The notice was not long, and many scholars understood its meaning after reading it once. It was just as the ignorant Tong Zhangjing said, it was very simple.

The scholars gradually dispersed, leaving behind the confused melon-eaters.

Finally, someone pulled off their face and begged Qin Shizi to find out the reason.

Oh, that’s it. The melon-eating people suddenly realized that it really had nothing to do with us, it was the Mingjiao who was opening up schools to recruit scholars.

Although the melon-eating people don't understand those theories and tests, they all have a simple idea in their minds. Only the imperial court will conduct exams to recruit scholars!

What does this mean? It means that the dynasty is about to change, and the Mingjiao, our own people, will take over the country! We have become the people of the new dynasty.

The change of status allowed the melon-eating people to put down their worries and puff up their chests. Before, they were always worried that the Ming Church would just take a handful and leave, no longer caring about the life and death of the locals?

Fortunately now, we have all become subjects under the rule of the new dynasty. How can our own emperor not care about his own family?

The news spread throughout the city like a whirlwind, and then spread to other places at supersonic speeds.

After reading the notice, the scholars were relieved. Seeing that the exam was so simple, they didn't even take the Four Books and Five Classics, so they each called their friends and took advantage of the two days left to go out together to explore secluded places and cultivate feelings.

In their view, Mingjiao is just going through the motions. With their current shortage of people, I am afraid that these more than a thousand people will stay. Then everyone will be colleagues in the future. It will never go wrong to make friends in advance and build a good relationship first.

Two days later, the Mingjiao "Civil Service Qualification Examination" was held as scheduled at the Confucius Temple.

The scholars, who were looking relaxed and ready to go through the motions, opened the test papers and were all dumbfounded.

I saw that the first test question was: A and B exchanged their recent activities. A said: "I went out to play for seven days. The sum of the dates of these seven days is ninety-eight. Excuse me, I am

Going out on a certain day?

Look at the following: Five small trees of different heights are planted on one side of the garden. The tallest one is planted in the middle. They are planted on both sides from tall to short. How many different planting methods are there?

There are dozens of questions of this kind, and everyone's scalp is numb. Some people throw them away and look at the argument on another paper, thinking that the argument is almost the same as the policy argument, so they can definitely answer it!

At a glance, they all rubbed their eyes in unison, for fear that they had seen wrongly. But when they looked up and around, they were rubbing their eyes, and their mood suddenly fell into the bottom.

Someone was sweating profusely and read the title again: "Building a country governed by the rule of law."

"Book. Wucheng": "Believe in clear righteousness, respect virtue and repay merit, and govern the world with dignity."

"Warring States Policy. Qi Policy Five": "At that time, the King of Qin bowed and granted the throne beyond the Xihe River, but did not treat the King of Wei."

"Selected Works" Volume 47 Wang Bao (Zi Yuan) "Ode to the Holy Lord's Wise Ministers": "Yong Yong hangs his bow, and it will last forever for thousands of years."

Based on the analysis of these three ancient sayings, is it better for the emperor to delegate power to the subordinates and govern according to the law, or is it better for one person to control the power of the world by making a constitution? Please explain the advantages and disadvantages? Emperors are both virtuous and dishonest. Can the law be revised to limit the emperor's power?

to prove the possibility of this.

Everyone in the audience turned pale. What did the Mingjiao Military Aircraft Department want to do?

Even if the poet and calligrapher thinks so in his heart, you can't just write it down and ask it!
