Lu Haowen only hesitated for a moment and then responded directly. Not only that, but no other ministers around him raised any objections.
At this time, the Zhao Guan family was a little confused for a moment - is this enough? This is a Jinshi!
But obviously, this will do.
In fact, this matter was originally caused by Zhao Jiu being suspicious, and even being a little bit smart... He had no idea that this matter was half a regular occurrence.
A similar thing happened during the reign of Taishang Daojun of Beishou. Moreover, a prince took the exam in person. With his true ability, he entered the first level of the palace examination. In the end, it is said that he even won the top prize by relying on his true talent...
... With this ridiculous incident as the background, it would be difficult for the officials of the Song Dynasty present to refute the Zhao Guan family's current uprightness.
In fact, even the six hundred prospective Jinshi below have nothing to say. Because of the rules of this dynasty, there is no problem of failing the exam when they arrive at the palace. They are all Jinshi, only ranking and ranking. Since it is an upright and honorable official,
When the imperial envoy was about to take the imperial examination, it would be impossible for the Zhao Guan family to give the first prize to Lieutenant Yue with a shameless face.
At best, it's just a place in the middle. It's harmless to both the top and the bottom. Let's tell a good story in the future... Maybe some people think that they can earn a rare friendship with the same ranking now, and then meet in private in the future. I happen to be better than
You, Lieutenant Yue, are two years older. Should I take the seat of honor at the banquet first?
Of course, every kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people, and the 600 people, plus dozens of ministers, must be dissatisfied. It's just that the officials proposed and the Prime Minister agreed, but their opinions can't be reflected for a while, so the matter is over.
Obstacle.
Yue Fei, on the other hand, could only act in confusion.
But at this moment, seeing Yue Fei marching out of the queue under the cold gaze of all his colleagues except Zhang Rong, and then showing a little hesitation, Zhao Guanjia suddenly screamed in his heart that something was wrong... because he realized that he had ignored
A major problem is that he did not communicate with Yue Fei in advance. So what if Yue Pengju took the initiative to refuse in order not to arouse the jealousy of his colleagues?
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Guanjia felt anxious, and then his expression remained unchanged, and he pointed to the line of commanders and said calmly: "Since Mr. Lu has agreed, I am not careful... Not just Pengju, but good ministers and below, who among you
Anyone who thinks their writing skills are passable can come up... Shaoyan (Li Yanxian's nickname), Zicai (Wang Yan), and Qu Duan, you three are also known to be both civil and military, do you want to come up and give it a try?"
As soon as these words came out, the two elders, Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun, looked at each other in disbelief. Li Yanxian and Wang Yan, who had the most unswerving expressions, were slightly startled at first, but then they all hesitated... After all, although these two people can
I can write a little bit and do a little paperwork, but I also have self-awareness. I know that if you want to write serious articles and win the status of Jinshi, it is far from enough.
If you really agree to it, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing if the article is made public.
As a result, the two of them almost cowered together and did not come out at all.
But almost at the same time, Qu Duan, whose name was called, was not willing to give up this opportunity at all. He immediately stepped out and rushed to Yue Fei's side and responded excitedly: "I would like to ask the official to give me a case, which is fair."
In comparison, I am willing to post my own article outside the Donghua Gate after the imperial examination. If the public review article is extremely bad, I am willing to accept the punishment!"
This grab for the white spot directly caused Yue Fei, who had been refusing at first, to change his mind... Although he was worried that getting this Jinshi background would further alienate all his fellow commanders, but as the saying goes, there are two sides to the problem.
Whichever is easier, if you back down at this time, you will directly form a big grudge with the 'talented man and martial artist' next to you.
You know, everyone in the palace knows that Qu Duan's appearance this time is not just asking for a Jinshi background. He also hopes to get rid of the embarrassing situation of being abandoned. He hopes to use this to tell the world that Qu Da has an official status.
He was still a bit of a figure before.
This is about his political life.
As a result, Yue Pengju also bowed his hands and saluted, but said nothing. And this meant "I am the same".
Seeing this, Zhao Jiu laughed in public, and turned to look at Lan Gui: "Since there are only two people willing to do it, let's go and add two cases, bring over two pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and let Peng Ju and Shi Yin (Qu Duan)
(character) came to take the exam, and the rest of the people are still here to watch the ceremony."
Of course Yue Fei and Qu Duan bowed together to express their gratitude, but compared to Yue Fei who had been caught off guard until now, Qu Duan suddenly felt like crying... because it was only then that he realized that the official family had always known
His name is just that he has never used this title.
Yue Fei and Qu Duan each added a few more cases, and the brief storm passed directly, and Zhao Jiu finally raised his hand and wrote down the test questions one by one.
Let's say that during the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination system was changed again and again. By the time before Jingkang, when Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was prospering in Henan University, even the imperial examination was completely gone, and it became the three-level system (county school, state school, Taixue).
When you get to the imperial examination, you can directly be awarded an official position. This time, the imperial examination was awarded as a Jinshi. It was also a hybrid between Zhao Guan's family and Lu Xianggong. So of course the rules of the palace examination are somewhat arbitrary.
However, everything remains true to its origins. In the final analysis, Zhao Jiu, an official, asked a few questions, and then the new scholars below came up with a serious political paper based on these questions.
So from the perspective of Zhao Jiu, the person who asked the question, in the current situation, it is impossible for Ce to ask questions beyond those... In fact, Zhao Jiu is not unconventional, or even quite the opposite. Instead, he follows the political tradition since Shenzong
, I only asked five questions, but they were very concise, and I didn’t write a lot of fancy articles.
Comparatively speaking, in history, after a person crossed the Yangtze River, he opened a subject to obtain a scholar, and actually asked dozens of policy questions in one breath, and he didn't know what he was trying to do.
Five specific questions.
The first one is a major issue of current affairs. Zhao Jiu opened the chapter by asking about the four-year war between Song and Jin. How could Song win in the long run?
The second is a specific military issue. Zhao Guanjia said it directly. If the Jin people come again after the autumn, how to defend and how to defend?
The third issue is the issue of financial balance, which asks how to reduce the burden on the people in the rear as much as possible while ensuring the military deployment on the front line?
The fourth one is the commonplace talent selection issue. Zhao Jiu pressed a button here and asked how to select qualified talents who can face military pressure under the new situation?
The last question, however, goes back to the fundamentals of Confucianism. It is a rather general statement, but it is said that "the way of governance is based on heaven, and the way of heaven is based on the people." How should the emperor uphold the way of governance between heaven and the people?
It seems that the Zhao Guan family was still affected by the conversation with Hu Guo.
After the five questions were written, Lan Gui, the senior official, took the first one and handed it to Zhu Shengfei, the Minister of Rites. Zhu Shengfei actually just turned his hand to make sure that the questions were not particularly absurd, and handed them back again.
Immediately, Lan Gui raised his voice as loud as possible in the silent Jiying Hall, and recited these five short questions in front of everyone, and read them three times in a row. After three times, he asked again if anyone did not hear clearly?
In fact, this is just a formality. There are several Hanlin bachelors on the side who have already heard the questions clearly and quickly copied them clearly in large characters, preparing to hand them over to the chamberlain. At that time, every ten or so cases there will be a chamberlain holding up the questions and asking them to do so.
These scholars read it clearly, recorded it in a draft, and then composed it.
It's still a bit crude, not as good as the serious times in the past where people would sign signs in advance, give out drinks, copy out exam papers carefully, etc.
But it's useful.
However, just when Lan Gui finished reading and was about to retire, Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting in the throne room, suddenly took the initiative to speak again and announced loudly, attracting several surrounding prime ministers and officials, as well as hundreds of potential Jinshi below, to listen attentively.
"My lords, before you answer the question, I have one more thing to say..." Zhao Jiu raised his voice and declared, and his voice was clear and unmistakable in the Jiying Palace with excellent sound transmission effect. "I believe that today's world is actually a time of full-scale war between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty.
, The country is in danger day and night, and everything is disturbed by war. Therefore, all rituals and regulations can be simplified. When you answer today, you don’t need to worry about article regulations. Old customs, just say something meaningful! Let’s answer the question.
!”
Such words made many people in the palace feel a little moved... Some people think that this is a reminder from the official family in the title, some people think that this is a hint from the official family, and some people are just because of the four words "all-out war"
The mind is shaken.
But no matter what, after saying this, the officials calmly walked out of Jiying Hall with other important civil and military officials and went to drink tea in the Huangyi Hall next to it.
For a time, only the officials from the Ministry of Rites and the internal servants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were left in the Jiying Hall, plus the imperial guards who were armed and strong, accompanying the 602 prospective Jinshis in this ordinary examination.
