Chapter five hundred and forty-four the world shakes the righteousness
When Xu Hanshi found out that he had become a Gongshi inexplicably, and then had to take the exam for the Erudite Department, he was completely confused because he had never heard of the Erudite Department, only the Erudue Hongci Department.
Yes, but he has really never heard of the imperial examination with the word "erudite" in front of it. Nonsense, of course he has never heard of it. This was done by Li Xuan himself, but he created the "erudite subject" and "erudite macroci subject"
It is the product of the ox and the horse.
The erudite subjects recruit talents in arithmetic and miscellaneous studies, while the erudite macroci subjects recruit talents in poetry and literature.
But what Li Xuan wants now is the former. As for the latter, Li Xuan said that there are so many people who write articles, it is enough for Wang Wenhua to praise him alone, and at worst, these 180 Jinshi will be added.
Scholarships in erudite disciplines require practical talents!
In order to prevent the world from looking down on the Jinshi of the Scholarship, he also specifically required that the Scholarship of the Scholarship must also have the title of Juren before being admitted, and like the Jinshi, he must take the imperial examination and be awarded an official position.
Even this time, the starting point of these erudite scholars was higher than those of the same jinshi. The erudite subjects were awarded the sixth rank, while those who were born in the same jinshi were from the sixth rank.
The official position of the bachelor's degree scholar is the same as the Jinshi's origin, which is the sixth grade.
Although Xu Hanshi couldn't figure it out, and was even a little worried that this erudite discipline would be the same as Ming Jing Ke, but the red list was out, and he was already on it. If nothing else, a doctorate would be able to get it, and it wouldn't take long
You can be awarded the official status of the sixth rank.
This starting point is better than that of a group of fellow Jinshi scholars. Maybe it won't be long before he can surpass his second grandfather in the officialdom. After all, his second grandfather is only a sixth-grade official.
After returning to the examination hall worried about gains and losses, he did not go drinking with Huang Yuanzhi. Huang Yuanzhi had to continue studying policy theory to prepare for the imperial examination, and he himself also had to figure out where his doctorate came from and what its use was.
After going out for a few rounds and visiting seven or eight people in succession, he was able to figure out that the reason why he was able to pass the Jinshi Examination was because he did well in arithmetic and miscellaneous subjects.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I did answer a lot of questions in the last arithmetic and miscellaneous subjects. I answered at least half of the arithmetic questions, and I also answered roughly half of the miscellaneous subjects.
This is due to the fact that he used to help manage the accounts at home, so his arithmetic skills are quite acceptable. As for miscellaneous studies, it is thought that he likes to read miscellaneous books, and he likes to read all kinds of messy books.
Therefore, many questions that seemed unimaginable to others seemed to him to be ordinary. For example, one of the questions in the miscellaneous subject was to list one of the countries in the West and briefly describe it.
The question is extremely simple, just name a Western country and then briefly introduce it.
This is not simple. He has heard that there are Folangji people in Nanyang, and he also read some general information about the country of Folangji people from miscellaneous books.
In fact, many of the other questions are common sense questions, but it is these common sense questions that attract hundreds of students.
There are only a dozen or so people who can answer more than half of them, and these people were all selected by Li Xuan as scholars in the academic field.
The next day's imperial examination was a grand one for the Jinshi Department. More than a hundred people were writing and writing on the small table in the open space in front of the main hall. The topic of their imperial examination was also policy theory.
Because of the small number of people, the general examination was held directly in the palace, and Li Xuan set the questions himself. In addition to arithmetic, the questions he asked also included some simple physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, etc. The questions were not advanced.
It is roughly equivalent to the fifth grade level in a cub army camp.
In other words, if these problems are placed in the young military camp, at least more than thirty people can solve them, and their average age will not exceed twelve years old.
But even so, Xu Hanshi and other fifteen new doctors were still racking their brains.
There was no way, Li Xuan only taught these scientific knowledge in Youjunying and Guozijian, and the level of Guozijian was not as good as that of Youjunying.
So even if seven or eight of these fifteen people were originally students of the Imperial College, the answer is not that easy.
This exam lasted for a full hour. Li Xuan proctored the entire exam from beginning to end and then marked the papers himself.
This kind of grading is very simple. These questions all have standard answers. Whether the answer is right or wrong can be seen at a glance. Unlike the policy theory of Jinshi subject, there is no standard answer at all. Whether you can get a high score depends on it.
What exactly did the candidate write?
So the grading here ended in ten minutes, and Li Xuan graded the papers by himself, and then simply ranked them according to their scores, and awarded them "Doctorate".
The exams for the Scholarship Division have all been completed, but dozens of marking officers for the Jinshi Division are still grading the exams. In principle, everyone can pass the imperial exam for the Jinshi Division, it’s just about ranking.
Li Xuan didn't care much about the ranking arrangement of these people. After the ministers below reviewed the papers, they argued again and finally settled on the top ten.
Then he asked Li Xuan to read it in person. Li Xuan took a casual look and found that the articles were basically the same, so he called the top ten candidates to come forward and asked them to briefly introduce themselves to the emperor.
This is actually the interview stage. In the end, Li Xuan did not base the rankings on the quality of the article at all, but on their performance in battle:
With a respectful look on his face, he always addressed his Majesty, and in just a few words he said that His Majesty was wise. A young man with good eloquence won the first prize.
Among the top ten, there is Huang Zhiyuan, but he is the last one in the top ten, that is, the tenth place in the top ten.
The reason why Li Xuan ranked him last was because this man stuttered when he spoke, which greatly reduced Li Xuan's influence on him.
In the conscience of heaven and earth, Huang Zhiyuan was just an ordinary farmer's boy half a month ago, and he was not even a scholar. Even he himself could not have imagined that he would pass all the way, become a scholar or even a scholar, and even pass the exam.
Even if he became a Jinshi, he was still ranked among the top ten.
At the time of the competition, he was ranked forty-eight, far from the top ten.
Suddenly knowing that he was in the top ten, and facing Li Xuan in person, and being questioned by the emperor in front of almost two hundred people, it was already very difficult for him to speak. He paused and stuttered once or twice in the middle of the process.
Understandable.
But Li Xuan naturally doesn't care about this. These people who are admitted to the Jinshi Department are almost all traditional officials. How can they be officials if they don't have thick skin!
If this person is asked to take on any important tasks in the future, such as visiting foreign countries, and he stutters like this, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Tang Dynasty?
Although he is only at the bottom of the top ten, he is still in the top two, still in the top ten. There are 180 people in the Jinshi Department, and he is among the best. After completing a set of procedures, he can immediately wear
He had entered the official uniform of the sixth rank, so on the way back, he felt that he was a little unsteady when walking: he was floating very much!
Like Huang Zhiyuan, Xu Hanshi was also disappointed. When he looked at the rankings, he thought he had failed at first. Even when he later saw that he had become a scholar in the erudite discipline, he was still quite uneasy. Who knows what this erudite discipline is like?
Damn it, is the sixth-grade official position conferred a real power position or a fictitious position?
If it is a false position, then it will be of no use at all.
But what do you think? The palace examination had just ended and the rankings were announced. He ranked eighth in the liberal arts department, neither above nor below, just in the middle.
And that’s not all, they were awarded officers right after that, that’s right!
There is no need to go through a set of procedures and wait for official selection like those new scholars in the Jinshi Department. Just after the imperial examination, His Majesty personally arranged it. This group of doctors was directly awarded the official status of the sixth grade, and then directly assigned.
Moreover, he was directly arranged to serve in the Hanlin Academy and serve as a lecturer for the Hanlin Academy. Damn, this is the most powerful position in the sixth grade. They knew that the Hanlin Academy of the Tang Dynasty was completely different from the Hanlin Academy of the Ming Dynasty, but even if
The nature of the work is different, but they all belong to noble and powerful organizations. Many middle-level officials in the Tang Dynasty are eager to get in, because this is a typical low-ranking and powerful organization.
Within the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, it was called a small cabinet
If he serves in the Hanlin Academy, his future career will be much brighter than that of his second grandfather, not to mention the sixth-grade Beijing official and the sixth-grade local official, which are incomparable!
This happiness came so quickly that Xu Hanshi himself didn't even react.
When he thought that he would report to the Ministry of Household Affairs in three days and become a master, he felt that he was unsteady when walking.
When Huang Zhiyuan and Xu Hanshi met up after leaving the palace, the two of them smiled in unison, and then Huang Zhiyuan spoke first: "Master Xu!"
Xu Hanshi also stopped smiling, and then said: "Master Huang!"
As soon as they finished saying this, the two people laughed in unison, and others didn't comment on their laughter, because they were surrounded by new scholars with smiling faces. It won't take long for these people to become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Of the officials, the lowest ones will be from the sixth rank.
Everyone is in a good mood, so naturally they won’t criticize others’ happiness!
Three days later, Huang Zhiyuan's official selection was also over. He was awarded the sixth rank and served as the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was also a Beijing official. One-third of the more than 100 new scholars stayed in Beijing to serve, and the rest were foreigners.
Sent to serve in local areas.
This time, Dengji Enke allowed a large number of students, no matter whether they were talented or not, they were always those who could read and write to join the system of the Tang Dynasty.
You must know that in addition to nearly two hundred new scholars and doctors, there are also a large number of scholars who can also become officials. This group of people is larger, and it greatly enriches the number of grassroots officials in the Tang Dynasty.
Recruiting students to fill the gap among grassroots officials is actually not that important. What is important is that after the news spread that the Imperial Examinations were held in the Tang Dynasty and the successful selection of scholars spread, the world was shocked. It is said that Emperor Zhengde was so angry that he cursed when he heard the news.
, of course, not to criticize how bad the false emperor Li Xuan was, but to criticize how incompetent his ministers were.
If it weren't for their incompetence, how could they have allowed a bandit-like pseudo-Tang thief army to go so far as to start a new school to obtain scholars?
After scolding him, Emperor Zhengde simply tilted his head and fainted!
