This time, the performance of the Guanzhong people in Qiuwei was not good. There were six classes in Qiuwei, and each class had twelve talents. The top three among them went to take the palace examination. This time, among the people from Guanzhong who came to take the exam, the top three took part.
Du Yan was the only one taking the imperial examination.
Among the entire Liujia, there are only five people shortlisted from Guanzhong, and among these five people there are one descendant of the Yang family in Hongnong and one descendant of the Yu family in Lantian. These two children have already been educated in Chengdu Academy. Really
In terms of teacher inheritance, it is difficult to even say that he was a scholar from Guanzhong who came to take the exam.
In particular, the Hongnong Yang family has been in the family for a very long time. There are even rumors that His Majesty is the posthumous son of Yang, the previous head of the Hongnong Yang family. Although Yang Su and the Hongnong Yang family have denied this statement, His Majesty, who is aloof, has never
I have explained that, in addition, His Majesty has never been too kind to the Yang family of Hongnong, let alone why Yang Su risked his head and crossed the border of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to join Li Xinchen.
Everyone firmly does not believe that His Majesty and the Hongnong Yang family are simply attracted to each other and have entangled interests.
As for the current division of factions in the court, although the Hongnong Yang family headed by Yang Su regards themselves as the Guanzhong faction, in the eyes of the Guanzhong families, in fact, the Hongnong Yang family and the Lantian Yu family, who followed the dragon earlier, are more
It should be considered the Yuanrong faction.
Among the seventy-two people who took the first imperial examination, Guanzhong only accounted for this small number. This somewhat made the people of Guanzhong feel embarrassed. After all, during the confrontation between the north and the south, Chang'an was once an important political and cultural center in the north.
Center, these Guanzhong aristocratic families asked themselves that they did not lag behind others in their family's education. In their view, this imperial examination should have been a great opportunity to carry forward the family's cultural and educational traditions and seize a place in the court. In the end, who knew that they would fail this time?
How miserable it was.
However, a defeat was a defeat, and the scholars in Guanzhong were also convinced of this result.
All Qiu Wei's examination papers must be made public, so the scholars have read these examination papers, and they have to say that the guys who came out of the academy are indeed somewhat capable.
The imperial court's test questions were unexpected. They did not use allusions from classic works as questions like Chun Wei, but directly used practical problems that may be encountered in administrative management to ask candidates to give appropriate solutions, and even
When it came to the palace examination, the questions became even more perverted. After the palace examination questions were announced, many people wondered whether His Majesty was deliberately making things difficult for the candidates.
But everyone has to admit that the situation mentioned in the question is indeed a problem that everyone will inevitably face when serving as an official, and it is often a difficult problem. If you are not mentally prepared now, you will face it directly in the future.
Well, why does the court believe you can solve it?
The students in the academy seemed to be more well-prepared, and each of them had unique insights into such issues, which convinced the Guan sergeants who came from afar and thought they were knowledgeable.
Of course, among Guan Zhongshi's disciples, they are not unworthy. Didn't Du Yan get the second place in Qiuwei? Now he is waiting for the results of today's imperial examination.
The imperial court would post a list on the Da Sima Gate. In order to prevent commotion from the people rushing to watch, the list was hung on the city gate. It was impossible to see what words were on it. The specific information about the release of the list would be sent by Jiankang Prefecture.
Annunciation.
"Bang, fourth place in the palace exam, Xu Fayan!" The distant voice could be heard clearly, the gongs and drums were beating, it was quite lively.
Soon someone in the guild hall came back to report the news.
Among the thirty-six people who participated in the palace examination, the imperial court will select twelve people to be awarded Jinshi. Among them, the top three are called first-class scholars. They are called the number one scholar, the second person and the third flower respectively. They are collectively called Jinshi and No. 3 people. There are three people in total, and the following four people are called Jinshi.
The second grade is generally referred to as Jinshi origin, and the next five are the third grade, generally referred to as the same Jinshi origin.
Although the number of people is slightly different from that in history. In history, the number of Jinshi in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was even larger. However, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was a real national scientific examination. However, in the first scientific examination of the Han Dynasty, the number of people who took the exam was far smaller.
Compared with any term during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the number of people selected would of course be slightly smaller.
The atmosphere in the guild hall suddenly became a little more solemn.
The person who reported the message has come many times, and now there are only three places left, which are also the three highest places.
But I still didn't hear Du Yan's name.
So it is inevitable that everyone will become more and more nervous.
"The eldest son of the Xu family has become famous." In order to lighten the atmosphere, a businessman who had been in the capital for a long time couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone nodded slightly.
Xu Fayan ranked fourth in the examination, which was unexpected. Xu Fayan is the eldest grandson of Xu Ling and the most orthodox heir of the Xu family. However, because his father Xu Jian had a dark history of being an enemy of Li Xinchen from Chen Shuling in his early years, Xu Fayan
On the contrary, his career as an official was not so smooth. In addition, because he was old, it was not suitable for him to enter an academy. Instead, he stayed at home all the time.
Not even as good as his younger brother Xu Deyan, who is now a governor.
However, the children of the Xu Ling family belong to the Xu Ling family. This time, with the help of the imperial examination, they naturally became a blockbuster. Although the fourth place result is not very impressive, it at least proves that Xu Fayan will not always live under the halo of his younger brother in this life.
"Tanhua has come out, it's Bao Xing from the Bao family!"
The atmosphere became increasingly tense.
The Bao family is not a wealthy family, but one of their ancestors had a celebrity named Bao Zhao, who was a famous writer in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The Bao family's poetry and calligraphy were passed down to other generations, so it is reasonable that some outstanding children would take advantage of this opportunity to stand out.
"Brother Du, don't panic. With Brother Du's talent, he is worthy of being number one!" The scholars all spoke to comfort Du Yan, who was already walking downstairs.
"If Brother Du fails to pass the exam, why not join the army together with your brothers? We can kill thieves with swords and get meritorious service!" Another scholar, who was a little stronger, raised his arm.
"Both Jinling Academy and Chengdu Academy are in great need of teachers. Brother Du is such a talented person that even if he loses his reputation, he will not join the army." Someone nearby objected, "I went to apply for Jinling Academy the day before yesterday, and I realized that there are mountains beyond the mountains, but Brother Du is talented.
, there is absolutely no chance of losing the election.”
Du Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Could it be that you guys are cursing me to fail the exam?
What's more, even if you fail the palace examination, as long as you pass the Qiu Wei, you will definitely have the opportunity to enter the officialdom. Even if you only pass the Spring Wei, you will still have the opportunity to become a local official. Now is the time for the imperial court to employ people.
At that time, the court would never ignore these talents, at least they would not let them go to academies or join the army.
But looking at these high-spirited scholars, Du Yan also felt a little emotional.
They were not discouraged because they failed to pass the exam. On the contrary, everyone was trying their best to find something to do for themselves.
