Two more days later, on September 20th, it was finally the day when the imperial examination for the Beichang Imperial Examination in the fourth year of Zhangwu.

The miscellaneous work Li Su was doing was straightened out.

After all these things are cut off, you can focus on more important plans.

By then, his wife's "Confucianism and Law" has almost been written. When all the officials moved to Luoyang, Liu Bei might ask him to organize another reading party for his ministers to unify the official ideology.

This year, the number of candidates for the imperial examination is relatively large, mainly because the imperial examination system of Liu Bei's court is large and small. For example, Maocai only takes it once every three years.

Therefore, after the first year of Zhangwu, there will be no Maocai exams in the second and third years of Zhangwu, and it will be accumulated until the fourth year of Zhangwu this year.

Other basic courses such as filial piety and integrity are admitted every year, and Mingshuo also takes them every year because the talent gap in Liu Ba's new industrial and commercial tax system is too large.

Early that morning, nearly a thousand candidates from more than 30 counties in the northern prefectures entered the venue in an orderly manner.

Although the new site is used for the first year and the environment is not familiar, there has never been any chaos in order.

At most, many of the relatively poor family members of the winged and accompanying the runners. They had never seen Roman gypsum column decorations, and the shower room and locker room covered with stone and Roman cement, so when changing, Liu Laolao entered the Grand View Garden.

In addition, there are some candidates who are not very eye-catching and thinking about escorting. Most of them are old people who have already come to the exam a few years ago and failed to take the exam. After understanding the court's inspection system for cheating, they actually developed bad intentions.

Because the current inspection system of the court is to allow candidates to change their clothes after taking a shower and then put them in, and no longer search them.

A very small number of gangsters have moved their minds to the aspects of "how to bring things in without wearing clothes", and they even imagined hiding cheats in the gaps in the anus on their bodies.

Of course, there are very few such people, with only two or three of them in nearly a thousand people. In the end, because he walked out of the shower room and went to the locker room, he was caught by the examination room inspector of the Ministry of Education.

The court did not ask people to search for their bodies, but instead used bathing and changing clothes. This was to give respect to the scholars to avoid insulting their ethics. But since there was such a shameless beast, there was nothing to say.

After the invigilator's civil service officials reported, they reported to the Prime Minister to punish them. Li Su also attached great importance to it and personally directed the candidates involved in the case to be deprived of their lifetime reference qualifications, and punished the cheater's family for no longer being elected within ten years.

At the same time, we must strictly investigate whether the county prefect and county cultural and educational officials who recommend such candidates have committed fraud in the recommendation process.

Finally, these cheating guys were directly taken to the square at the gate of the Gongyuan as they were when they were captured (that is, when they were not wearing clothes after taking a shower), and they were taken to the square at the entrance of the Gongyuan, and they were 50 first. I believe that after being embarrassed like this, such people would have no shame to hang out in the Shilin again.

...

Most of the candidates who took the exam did not see the scene of those gentle and scum being punished by the slap.

After all, this is the case that the candidates who entered the venue have already made a mistake after they started entering the venue. Those candidates who entered the venue earlier have already had tea and waited for it, so they naturally cannot see it.

However, the imperial examination time was as long as an hour, so there were always students who entered the batch late and were still queuing outside to witness all this with their own eyes.

"Hmph, scum, I'm crazy about being an official." Some arrogant scholars outside the door couldn't help but disdain for contempt.

Not to mention, many of the vested interests of the anti-report system in this era may not be able to do knowledge and talent, but because they came from a family of officials, they are more concerned about the despicable work that the chrysanthemums are really despised. The more important thing is that they think they can surround themselves by surrounding the mark, and they don’t need to eat too ugly.

It is not very good for poor families to learn, and it is even because they are not good at learning that they are attracted by the masters of the aristocratic families. Those who ask them to break through the bidders will be more likely to make some small moves occasionally. After all, the benefits and temptations of success are too great.

There is no way, who made the poor runners who pretended to be pigs and tigers and turned around in the wave of bids three years ago have emerged?

As soon as those people came out, the aristocratic families learned lessons, they became more and more wary. Even if the court had other countermeasures, they were more inclined to find people who were really not good at learning to accompany them to ensure that the runners wanted to take the lead and rebel against each other, but they were not as good as the exam.

I believe that if Li Su did not interfere, in less than a few decades, the imperial court would definitely have a "Niu Li Party Fight" after the Tang Dynasty implemented the imperial examination. Officials who climbed up from poor families could stand in line with officials from aristocratic families to fight to death.

These are all natural laws of historical development. Changes in the interest distribution system will always be accompanied by struggle and counterattack. Li Su cannot change this law, but can only try to legislate and guide it, and solve problems in the future when encountering problems. Maybe the struggle between the imperial examination system and the traditional examination system can be repeated for decades, and Li Su may not be able to completely solve it in his life.

At this moment, with those high-ranking scholars, who were queuing with poor students, were there to dislike poor students who accompanied poor students to attend the poor students and were not moral. As expected, some poor students who had thought about cheating were ashamed of themselves.

Some of them were even queuing up and secretly went to the side to change their clothes first, throwing them into the toilet that might have been found, and dared not take any risks.

Obviously, among the thousands of people, there were actually more than two or three people involved. However, two or three people were found in the first two batches. After hitting the board in public, the people behind were scared and gave up the plan to commit the crime.

When some children of aristocratic families saw that the team was in chaos, some people in the queue left secretly and came back. There was no evidence to catch them for a while, and they were not aware of each other's identity, so they couldn't help but clamor:

"What a broken tribute school! I'm so slow to enter the field! I've been queuing for more than half an hour! Are all guards blind? When they meet those who left the team and rearranged, no one follows to search?

They must be throwing cheating manuscripts! Every time they search, they are accurate! They should be arrested and beaten! The court's law enforcement is unfair, so we should speak up for justice!"

As early as the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Tai students preferred to discuss and criticize Qing Dynasty, and many times occurred in Luoyang to surround important officials of the imperial court.

After the war began, there were fewer such things because scholars could not fight against the knife. If peace came back today, there were naturally more people who dared to speak, and this book was understandable.

What's more, it is a matter of personal interests. Who doesn't want to catch more people who are suspected of cheating, so as to reduce the competitive pressure during the exam and increase the admission rate.

In this case, officials from the Ministry of Culture came to maintain order immediately.

"Silent! Don't make noise! ​​There are some words to send representatives to the court to enforce the law impartially. Where do you think there is something unfair? You can express your feelings according to the rules!"

Not to mention, because it was the first year to return to Luoyang to hold the imperial examination, the court attached great importance to it. Guan Ning, the Minister of the Ministry of Culture, was present today. He soon went to the door to do work for the candidates and understand the situation. All the officials of the Ministry of Culture, were almost the first to move to Luoyang with Liu Bei.

Several guys who obviously took advantage of the situation to disturb the instigation, and those who wanted to get started, were all controlled. Those who made reasonable demands were comforted and asked to send representatives to confess their love.

So a few children of officials who were not afraid of trouble came out of the crowd and told them about their requests:

"When queuing up, there were people leaving the team to discard cheating evidence. Why didn't the court strictly regulate it? The court repeatedly recommended that both moral integrity and talent be valued. Now, if you don't care about the visible virtues, wouldn't it be as important as Cao Cao? Can't even be appointed with talented and evil people?"

Guan Ning was not arrogant or impatient and responded fairly: "The court's laws and discipline are clearly stated. After taking a shower and changing clothes, there are still people who are involved in the venue, which is a fraud.

In this case, whether each of you carries a book on your body or wants to sharpen your guns and review it in the face of battle, you will not violate the ban. How could the court add extra punishment to the law? Those who have not yet entered the market will punish them for carrying a paper on them.

It is agreed that you are not allowed to bring your clothes after changing clothes, that is, you are not allowed to bring them after changing clothes. The court does not care about the conduct of the people, and cannot break the trust of the people."

In fact, he did not agree with Guan Ning's words at first. Instead, Li Su asked the Ministry of Justice to cooperate with the law and insisted on such a decision, and to implement "statutory crime and punishment", and to forgive those who gave up their intentions before they even started.

Of course, there was no such concept in the Han Dynasty, but Li Su received education from later generations after all. He felt that cheating cannot be calculated based on his thoughts, and there must be a clear boundary.

If the crime is "suspended" before reaching the boundary, then pretend that it has not happened.

If you catch it after crossing the boundaries, it is called "attempted crime", and attempted crime is the starting threshold for punishment.

Moreover, this is also in line with the new philosophical thoughts recently promoted by Li Su, the official ideology: the traditional corrupt scholar, which is to set a super high moral standard that no one can do, and then mix it with others and pull others into the water.

Since Li Su now wants to "distinguish people who are not too immoral from immorality", of course, he must refine the granularity of moral judgment.

The most important point here is to gradually use the legal system to strengthen and assist morality, and to "discuss the mind regardless of the mind", gradually replacing the "discuss the mind and conviction" in the "Spring and Autumn Prison" of the Han Dynasty.

I have thought about evil things in my heart, but as long as I don’t do it, I am a good person, at least I cannot be the object of punishment by the law.

Of course, this does not mean that motivation and subjective mentality are completely unimportant. It just means that motivation and mentality should be combined with behavior, and further determine subjective malignancy under the premise of behavior. Intention is definitely more serious than negligence, and direct intention is definitely more serious than indirect intention.

To put it bluntly, it is gradually moving closer to the principle of "unity between subjective and objective" in the modern rule of law concept.

Prime Minister Li never yelled a slogan in his country, no matter how he implemented it. While writing ideological works, he was already thinking about how to implement the ideological progress of empty and empty affairs into real political governance.

Anyone who has studied jurisprudence knows that any evaluation of good and evil and social value-oriented governance is undoubtedly the most critical issue of "moral legal mandatory issues."

So Li Su's ideas naturally think in this direction and move closer to this direction, and it is easy to think of them.

...

At this moment, as the spokesperson and practitioner of Li Su's new policy, Guan Ning also tried a lot to explain the judicial spirit of the court to his disciples.

Hearing that the court's attitude is so polite and has laws to be equal, most candidates will naturally no longer cause trouble. After all, catching a few more cheaters will not increase the actual admission rate.

Some people are not stingy in their minds, or are young and not bad at this time, and want to make a name for themselves. But they soon found that they were aimless because the court was too lazy to ask, "Who was the one who caused trouble? Write it down for me."

Today's students have similar mentality to those of the Taishen in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. They just want to become famous by speaking up for justice. When they are criticized by the government, if they write down your name or even take revenge on you in the future, they will gain reputation in the Shilin, so there are so many "party and foul disasters".

The government and Yan Yuese explained to you, and they were too lazy to take revenge on you. They didn't even give you a chance to ask for your name, but instead made the trolls at a loss.

The most thorny ones saw no profit, and some of them were stalking, and they started to complain that the hardware facilities of the Gongyuan were too poor, which made everyone queuing for so long, creating an opportunity for the crime to be suspended for those who wanted to cheat, and then there was nothing to scold.

After all, if everyone doesn’t have to line up for so long, wouldn’t those guys who want to cheat have no chance to observe the outcome of the people ahead and stop it? So after all, the court has delayed it, causing fewer bad people to be caught!

This remark was naturally persuaded by several other kind candidates in the team: "Brother, be cautious. The court is kind and rational, so don't make it boring. My good brother is eager to be righteous, which is admirable. I don't know who he is.

Seeing that my brother is so young, it should be his first time to take the exam. Now the conditions are pretty good. After all, there are thousands of people, so how can I take a shower and change clothes at the same time?

Three years ago, the conditions in Xiangyang were worse than this. Six batches of changing clothes were divided into three batches. Today, they were divided into three batches and were already given by the Hongli, the new tribute court built by the governor of Zhuge Prefecture.”

The most vicious young troll, when he saw someone asking him about his origin, and seeing that his righteous intention to become famous today could be more or less fulfilled, he stopped when he got better. He tied his hairband, clasped his fists for half a circle, and bowed his hands to introduce himself:

"In the Taiyuan Guo Huai, my father was the prefect of Yanmen. Before the next year, General Lu surrendered to the court, so he came to Luoyang to try this year."

It turned out that Guo Huai was also considered a "victim of the imperial examination system". In history, he lived until a few years after the Gaopingling Incident, and died of old age in his seventies, a little later than Sima Yi.

So Guo Huai is only younger than Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang. It is just because he lives long, so his active period is relatively late in history. Now it is 200 years old, and he is only sixteen or seventeen years old.

At this moment, Guo Huai's self-reporter was obviously quite resentful to the court.

Because when Bingzhou was under Yuan Shao's rule, his father Guo Hu was the prefect of Yanmen, which shows that the Guo family was a prominent family in Taiyuan County. If Bingzhou continued to implement the ninth rank Zhongzheng system under Yuan Shao's rule, Guo Huai would be directly evaluated as an excellent official in a few years and then become an official.

After all, Guo Huai in history also became a prefect of Shangguan. Three years later, he was elected as a filial and honest person by the prefect of Taiyuan County just after he was twenty years old. Just thinking about it, the prefect of Taiyuan County must have exchanged quotas for the prefect of Yanmen County next door. After Yuan Shao implemented the Ninth-rank Zhongzheng system, people like Guo Huai were naturally sure to be an official.

It’s a pity that both the filial and honest candidates and the Central Command will be twenty years old! Guo Huai had to ensure that Bingzhou would be under Yuan Shao’s rule in three years and be able to be promoted until he was over! Yuan Shao’s rule could not last for so long. Bingzhou changed its course and changed its course to the imperial examination. Guo Huai’s dream of becoming an official was shattered.

Fortunately, the imperial examination is not as strict as the age limit for the imperial examination. It can be taken at the age of seventeen. Anyway, no one can talk if he has enough knowledge.

Guo Huai's family's energy is still there, so I directly tried the Taiyuan County indicator this year, but I didn't arrange the bidding for many times. I was afraid that the food was too ugly. If it didn't work, I waited for Guo Huai to come again in a few years, and then arranged the bidding for the bidding for the time being.

Guo Huai also knew that his knowledge was not good, so he didn't apply for other subjects, so he applied for a subject of "knowing the army" and prepared to plan for a military official. After taking a basic course, he could take the strategy and riding and shooting professional courses.

So he was not afraid of being targeted by civil servants. Anyway, except for today's first public basic course, he would not take the exams in Guan Ning's hands in the future, so he would cause trouble.

Now, if someone supports him, ask him about his origin and help him become famous, his purpose is achieved. Soon, this group of candidates learned that "there is a young candidate from Taiyuan County, Guo Huai, who is righteous and dares to speak out."

Guo Huai was also very grateful to the person who led the supporting role. He was curious and talked to each other and got to know each other: "I don't know who this guy is?

From your tone, you took the imperial examination in Jingzhou three years ago? Otherwise, why are you so familiar with the conditions of the imperial examination in the South Court? How could you come to the North Court again? The court has made a strict check on fake journalism."

After Guo Huai's clues, the group of candidates next to him became curious. Indeed, how could there be a candidate in the North Court who was so familiar with the hardware facilities of the South Court held in Xiangyang three years ago, and even how many people could take a bath in the bathroom there at the same time.

The candidate asked was also very open: "In Xiahanoi Sima Zhi, he was indeed the South China Season who took the exam three years ago. He failed the exam at that time and is now back. But this is not a fake person.

Three years ago, Hanoi had not yet recovered, so he escaped from chaos and went into exile in Jingzhou. Therefore, he was treated as Tongbin Gongke. Now Hanoi is under His Majesty's rule, and Hanoi belongs to Sili and Beichang, so he naturally wants to come to Luoyang."

After Sima Zhi's explanation, the candidates around him no longer questioned, and at the same time, they couldn't help but sigh that the territory of the Han Dynasty, which was restored by His Majesty, was really the same every year, and the unity of the world is just around the corner.

Look, candidates who were still the people in the occupied areas a few years ago can all return to their original home reference.

Other candidates asked Sima Zhi, a veteran, what were the precautions and what the environment was like after entering the imperial examination, Sima Zhi also answered them one by one.

Soon, the team was ranked in them, and this group of people entered the field one after another, all candidates from Bingzhou, Hedong and Hanoi, but they immediately discovered that the environment described by Sima Zhi was completely different from what they saw in front of them, and Sima Zhi's experience had almost no reference value.

The place where Sima Zhi took the exam in Xiangyang three years ago was much worse than the newly built Luoyang Gongyuan here!

Old people like Sima Zhi almost got lost, and they felt like they were in a fog when changing clothes in the shower.

After finally entering the venue in a daze, this year's test questions will soon give them another warning.

Because of this year's exam questions, the court was preparing to temporarily add an additional question to test the theoretical related questions that Prime Minister Li had just figured out, "On Han Cheng Xun's system", so that candidates could find out where Han Fei's inheritance of Xunzi's thoughts were misinterpreted or not thorough enough, and give reasons.
Chapter completed!
