Putting aside this kind of imperial examination hero's behavior, Zhao Guanjia, who rarely lost his temper, continued to read, but at the end of this article, he once again became thoughtful.
Because at the end of the article, in response to the last question, this 'New Science Ranking' re-discussed the king's governance in general, but he seriously criticized the official's recent obvious interest in doctrine. He believed that under the current situation, the emperor
We should not discuss those vain things, but should use traditional, simple, and so-called more effective methods to win over people's hearts.
For example, they offered sacrifices to their ancestors and took the initiative to send a serious voice to the Kingdom of Jin, demanding that they unconditionally return the captured Second Saints, Zhao clan members, and the loyal ministers who were also captured and captured that day.
These things are simple and direct. No matter what the results are, once done, they can always have a wide-ranging effect on calming people's hearts, and generally speaking, the results are immediate.
"The world under the husband is the world under the ancestors. The position that Your Majesty occupies is also the position of the ancestors."
A few months later, Zhao Jiu 'heard' this slightly harsh statement again, and still had to secretly admit in his heart that it was extremely correct...especially considering the remarks of this era.
Today is the tenth day of August in the third year of Jianyan, and there is still a whole Mongolian Yuan and Ming Dynasty behind the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
Even based on the messy information provided by the merchants recommended by Mrs. Wu's family, and verified by Zhao Jiu's own geographical knowledge from some low-end games, at this moment, from east to west, it seems that the entire World Island is
It was a mess... Just now in the Jiying Palace, he had narrowly avoided referring to the "time of full-scale war between Song and Jin Dynasties" as "the time of the Warring States Period".
At such times, ancestral etiquette can indeed quickly calm people's hearts.
And to be honest, Zhao Jiu himself knew very well that there was an essential difference between the new scholar's advice and that of the emperor's uncle. Uncle Zhao was motivated by patriarchal instincts, and this new scholar made it very clear.
, this person believes that these measures are relatively more effective.
But it is a pity that Zhao Jiu is unwilling to choose a more effective method.
There are two reasons:
One is the willful psychology of him as a time traveler based on the historical understanding of another time and space... There is nothing to say, it is Zhao Jiu who ignores the overall situation for his personal likes and dislikes. He keeps urging others to be tolerant for the sake of the country, but he himself
I can't help but get angry with those named Zhao.
Of course, there may also be personal identity recognition issues unique to time travellers, but the sample is too small to say for sure.
The second thing is that as an engineering dog, Zhao Jiu naturally prefers more advanced things as well as simpler and more direct things.
This new scholar said it very well. Taoism, Qi science, Neo-Confucianism, and even the new science, that is, the internal ideological issues of Confucianism, seem to be somewhat inappropriate to discuss in the current war period.
However, this seems to be just inappropriate.
Because building a new Confucian ideology is the call of the times, and it is also the basis for long-term peace and stability... Zhao Jiu does not know any profound sociological knowledge. He does not know that this situation is the inevitable process of the development of Confucianism itself.
Or is it directly related to population growth and productivity development?
But there is no doubt that he at least knows the historical process, knows this trend, knows Taoism or Neo-Confucianism, and will soon become the uncrowned king within Confucianism, and then the crowned king... Not only that, Zhao Jiu is actually ruling
When I was trying to communicate and promote communication with the civil servants, I could really feel the eagerness below me to give it a try.
In other words, a new Confucian ideology is bound to emerge.
And if Zhao Jiu doesn't occupy this position, he will only let others occupy it.
Even Zhao Guanjia himself may not realize that he has already regarded this matter as an important matter second only to the great cause of resisting gold in his heart. So in this case, how could he give up because of something inappropriate?
If you have the opportunity, you should try your best to push forward. If you don’t have time to push forward, you should stick to it.
Returning to the Palace of Imperial Instruments, Zhao Jiu was sitting there reading this article. First he was amazed, then he was amazed, then he laughed out loud, and finally he was lost in thought. He had already attracted the attention of all the important officials in the palace, and he didn't know.
What an article.
After Zhao Jiu read it, he came to his senses and didn't care. He just gave the article to Prime Minister Lu Haowen to read.
Lu Haowen glanced at ten lines, and after a quick glance, he felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help but wonder: "How can I compare to Yan Shu and Wang Gui? On the contrary, Mr. Xu, who is responsible for the general affairs of all provinces, works hard and maintains... I thought,
Although he does not dare to compare with the pure beauty of Fan Wenzhenggong, he also has a heart to care for the world; and Wang Shuxiang, who has been with you since Hebei and has been your Majesty's humerus for a long time. He has experienced many military affairs and experienced many dangers, although he does not dare to
Compared with Han Qi, it can also be said that there is a break... This article seems a bit mean after all."
As he said this, Xianggong Lu handed the article to Xu Jingheng beside him and pointed out that paragraph directly.
As for Wang Boyan and Xu Jingheng, they didn't read it. They could guess pretty much just by listening to Lu Haowen's words. However, they read the original text while thinking about how to be humble and protect their colleagues.
However, before these two people could speak, Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting behind the case, waved his hands and said bluntly: "I didn't hide anything from my husband. At first, I saw that he was diligent in his words and had something to say, and he could also write a 10,000-word long novel in one go.
I originally wanted him to be the number one scholar, but later I saw how he despised the prime minister of the dynasty, but I couldn't allow him to be so presumptuous... If such a person became the number one scholar, and the article was posted, wouldn't it make the world misunderstood? Lowered to one
Wait for the last one!"
When Lu Haowen and others saw the official being so straightforward, they looked at each other and couldn't say much... In fact, the rules of the imperial examination are 'beauty' and 'thorn', which talks about magnanimity and violating taboos.
Those who have obviously made mistakes are only demoted to fifth-A, so what kind of people are they?
And since it can't be downgraded, it can only be placed in the first and last place.
And this has shown the official's protective attitude towards the governors.
So, since the emperor and the prime ministers jointly agreed that this person was the fifth in the palace examination, the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette who were present no longer hesitated and directly opened the name and copied the list... but it was a Jizhou named Hu Quan.
people.
Yes, one more thing must be said here.
At present, the ranking of imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty is based on the five-level system, not the later three-level system, and now there are five first-class places, and the first to fifth places are all first-level.
This is a typical consequence of the large-scale army expansion in the Song Dynasty's Jinshi Kejia Palace Examination.
In fact, there are always two No. 2 picks these days, because the second and third place finishers are right around the No. 1 pick on the posted list, so they were named No. 2... If there was only one, it would be called the One-Eyed Dragon.
As for the third flower, it also refers to the two youngest and handsome people among the Jinshi, and it has something to do with the celebrations after the imperial examination.
The so-called No. 1 Scholar, No. 2 Scholar, and No. 3 Scholar only refer to the top three, which is not reliable and can only be roughly guessed. It should be a custom formed after the establishment of the Three-Tripod System in the Ming Dynasty.
So in other words, the Zhao Guan family was really petty. After seeing that 'ancestor', they felt unhappy and moved Hu Quan from first to third, and finally to fifth.
However, I have to say that Hu Quan’s imperial examination article was so out of place that other articles after this article seemed boring.
In fact, in the afternoon, as all the 602 articles were delivered, a group of prospective Jinshi were either anxious or confident to leave Xihuamen and return to Taixue. They saw that they would have to wait a few more days for the results to be released, but they did not know that this
In the Bian Huangyi Hall, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and his ministers had already achieved rough results through simplicity and speed.
After all, among the five first and fifth ranks, the first and second ranks are Jinshi and the third rank, the third and fourth ranks are from Jinshi, and the fifth rank are from the same Jinshi.
Just sort them first and then rank them, because apart from the top five, the ranking itself is actually not very important.
Among them, Yue Fei was selected in the top position of the third class, which was more than 100 out of 600 people. He was regarded as a high-ranking Jinshi; while Qu Duan was in the second half of the second class.
Got a Jinshi degree...
Zhao Jiu took a quick look and knew what was going on. It had nothing to do with the content, but it had something to do with whether the article cited scriptures and closely adhered to the meaning of Confucian classics.
In this regard, although Yue Fei was extremely talented and had made great progress in literature, he still became a monk halfway. Compared with people like Qu Duan, who had a literary reputation very early and knew what it was like to write official articles, he was at a disadvantage.
But it doesn't matter, Zhao Jiu doesn't really want to give Yue Fei the top pick, and even this ranking just allows Qu Da to serve as a shield for Yue Pengju.
So after just one look, Zhao Guanjia ignored it.
Next, as usual, Zhao Guanjia had to arrange the order of the first A and give the first name to the second A before exiting, but at this time he had lost interest, so he just arranged it casually.
The first five people, not to mention the fifth one, Hu Quan, the remaining four people, one is called Li Yi, one is called Wang Dabao, one is called Zhao Boyao, and the last one is called Yu Yunwen.
Among them, Yu Yunwen is the youngest. According to the list, he is only twenty years old. At this age, if his looks are not bad, he should be one of the two young beauties in this department. He was directly placed fourth by Zhao Jiu.
As for the remaining three people, one of the two top picks, the Zhao Guan family originally thought that Wang Dabao's name was kind and planned to select him as the top pick, but Zhu Shengfei reminded him that Zhao Boyao was actually a descendant of the clan, Zhao Dezhao, the second son of Emperor Taizu.
That one.
However, with this reminder, I don’t know if I want Zhao Jiu to take special care to show the concept of uniting the clan, or to remind this official not to single out the Zhao family as the top pick?
But no matter what, Zhao Jiu and Zhao Guanjia came with the first idea anyway. They randomly ranked this clan member in the first place, and then ranked Wang Dabao in the second place. The so-called Li Yi was ranked third.
First Class A was scheduled, and the next step was to name the second Class A... This was also a lottery issue, but at this time, Zhao Guanjia, who was already lacking in interest, actually started to think a little bit more:
"I once gave Hu Hong, the second son of Hu State, as the imperial student. He should also be qualified for the palace examination. Have you ever come to take the examination?"
Everyone hurried to look for it, and sure enough they found it, but it was actually in the fifth armor... It was also shocking!
You must know that this is the Great Enke. Among the six hundred people, there are quite a few capable officials, young military veterans, and those who redeemed the refugees in Hebei... The so-called people with mixed backgrounds, what is the level of these people, the fifth class?
There is no shortage of people.
However, Hu Hong is the son of a great Confucian scholar and the younger brother of Zhongcheng. He is already in his twenties, and his literary name has been spread for a long time. He has fallen to the fifth level. What does this mean? It is impossible to directly write Zhao Kuangyin in the article.
Words?
However, unexpectedly, Zhao Guan's family and several prime ministers all remained calm and didn't seem to think there was any problem.
Because these people know very well that it is impossible for this person to fall into this position because of the level of his writing. In all likelihood, it is because his theory is in the same vein as his father. It is too obvious, and then there is something in it that is not breathtaking.
This aroused the dissatisfaction of the review minister, and he was specifically deposed here.
In fact, Zhao Guanjia read Hu Hong's article and hesitated a little, but in the end did not make any changes. He just ordered Chao Gongwu, who was originally ranked sixth, to still be the first in the second class... and didn't ask any more questions.
In this way, only one day later, on August 12th, the hastily held Jianyan Third Year Enke was officially released.
Although the East and West China Gate is no longer prosperous, it is still crowded for a while.
In the evening, Yang Yizhong came to report that all the ministers had captured his son-in-law, but Hu Quan was ignored and ignored. The number one scholar, Zhao Boyao, was captured by Wang Boyan, the prime minister. Wang Dabao, who was second on the left list, was captured by Zhu Shengfei, the Minister of Rites, on behalf of his niece.
Li Yi, second on the right, was surrounded by servants sent by Mrs. Yuwen who stayed in Beijing...
However, one thing that caused a sensation and discussion was that Yu Yunwen, the recognized candidate for the flower search, was actually kidnapped to the Daxiangguo Temple by Jiedushi Zhang Rong himself.
It is said that Leader Zhang has a daughter at home.
Zhao Jiu was stunned for a moment, but regardless of the fact that it was getting late, he went to the Daxiangguo Temple in person... There was no way, he was afraid that he would be late, and this new scholar, Leng Touqing, would say something inappropriate in order to refuse the marriage, which would directly hurt him.
