Chapter 166: 165: No ancients seen before, no one came from behind

The rules of the examination room, including the test questions, are exactly the same as those of the provincial examination, including the four books, five-character and eight-rhyme poems, five-scripts and strategies.

A few days before the exam, Wei Guangde went to a large temple near Beijing City and visited the Taoist temple to ask for peace of mind.

If you don’t know, there are many temples and Taoist temples without asking, and you can’t count them with your hands and feet.

At the same time, the chief president, appointed by Emperor Jiajing, the examiner of the 18th Room selected by the Ministry of Rites, and the examiner, promoted the officer, printed the examiner, collected the examiner, received the examiner, awarded the official, and copied the officer,

All 56 people from the tutoring officials, including the tutoring officials and the garrisons, were admitted to the tribute school for examination.

The weather in February did not rise much compared to before. Wei Guangde stayed in the cold examination room for six nights and finally came out alive.

The boxing exercises over the years have made him much better than other players. Unlike a few people in the guild, who were all in the last game, he went to the tribute court with a high fever, and he also tried his best.

After the 17th, the atmosphere in the entire Jiujiang Guild Hall was not very good.

Not only did the students suffer in the tribute court, but they fell ill after coming out, but they are still in bed and have not gotten up.

The imperial examination is issued earlier than the provincial examination. Although the exam starts the same time, the results will be released before the end of February, and the emperor will be asked to issue the exam.

It is in a tense and solemn atmosphere, when the time comes to February 25th, the atmosphere in the guild hall becomes even more depressing.

Because on this day, each room had the examiner and the examiner gathered together, and from the 19th place - the second place in each room - fill in the test paper number into the grass list.

The only number of the test paper is filled in on the grass list, but it does not correspond to the name of the person.

After filling it out, let the foreign ink rolls corresponding to these numbers be sent in, then lock the door and pair the red rolls and ink rolls one by one. After checking, the red rolls and ink rolls are tied up.

The seal will be stored in the hall and will be officially filled in tomorrow.

At this time, the fate of the candidates is actually destined, because who will be on the list and who will fail will be determined after this day, and the official filling of the list the next day will not make much sense.

Time quietly came to February 27th, which was just an ordinary day.

While having lunch in the lobby, Wei Guangde heard a Jiujiang scholar say, "Today's examination list has come out. The Ministry of Rites has reported to the emperor. The minimum number is 300 places. The results should be released in the next two days.

”

The words came into Wei Guangde's ears, and Wei Guangde didn't know what his mentality should be at this moment.

Soon, in just two days, everything will be settled.

Wei Guangde knew the speaker, named Wang Jiashi, a juren from Jiajing for 25 years. He has taken three consecutive exams. Now it is his fourth time to take the exam.

He has passed forty years. According to the current saying, if he fails to pass the exam this time, he probably won’t take the 38th examination. He is afraid he can only take the path of being appointed as an official in the Ministry of Personnel.

In the past two years, there have been more frequent visits to Jiangxi officials in Beijing, so I am afraid that I am also preparing for this.

It is worth mentioning that Wei Guangde said a lot to him because he is also from Pengze. He is sitting at the opposite table and chatting with other students about the information he learned about this exam.

"These days, I haven't seen those fellow villagers delivering things."

Lao Kan said while eating now.

The Jiujiang Guild Hall was naturally established by merchants from Jiujiang and the following counties to collect money to entertain family members who come to Beijing. Of course, they also open their doors to do business on weekdays, but only in the year of the Imperial Examination, they will specially serve the juren in their hometown.

Since the first lunar month, Jiujiang merchants in Beijing have come here every few days and bring a lot of things each time.

In fact, Wei Guangde and his friends live here. In addition to the servants' rooms, their own room and meals are free, because every year of the exam, the merchants donated more money.

Perhaps they knew that waiting for the final exam results was the most tormenting period, so they did not come to the door.

"About twenty-nine, they will definitely come by then, and the results will usually be released at this time."

Xia Kefan said, he had taken the exam twice, this was the third time, so he naturally had to have more experience.

"The day after tomorrow, I will be tortured for another two days."

Lao Kan sighed.

"If you are willing to spend money, it is said that you will find someone in the tribute office who is in charge of the tribute school and have the chance to know tomorrow that you are not on the list, but I just heard that I have never seen it."

Xia Kefan also shook his head and sighed.

"Leave it to fate, why do you think so much? Go back and continue the war later."

Wei Guangde sighed in his heart, but said relaxedly.

How to get rid of random thoughts at this time, then just make money.

At night, Wei Guangde and the others were not sleepy yet, so they sat around a table to play cards. Some mansions in the inner city were also very lively at this time.

"Dad, what's wrong with calling your child?"

A fat man with a wide body and a fat body walked into the house and said to the old man who was reading a book inside.

"Did you find out what I asked you to pay attention to?"

The old man didn't look at him and continued to look through the books in his hand. The book pages turned yellow, obviously it was a while ago.

"I asked someone to ask him. He was on the list, but he was only ranked, more than 270 years old, and he was really lucky."

The fat man replied.

"Who ordered him?"

In the old man's impression, this person is said to have average essay level and the probability of failing the exam is actually very high, but he didn't expect to be on the list.

"Kang Siqian pointed it, I found someone to read his paper, and the title of the Four Books: Therefore, a gentleman speaks great things, and no one in the world can carry it. This question is said to be answered well, and the others are generally the same as the financial management question.

How to increase the treasury revenue without consuming people's efforts? He suggested increasing the production of silk and porcelain, and exchange it for gold, silver and grain through market and exploration trade."

The fat man talked for a long time, and saw that his father was still sitting there reading, and he seemed to have no regard for his heart at all, so his interest in speaking became weak.

"Dad, if it's okay, then I'll go back first. Maoqing Longwen and the others are still waiting for me there."

"Go, remember what I said, don't interfere in this matter."

The old man continued to read the book without raising his head.

The fat man felt bored and signaled to the two maids beside him that they would serve the old man here, and then turned around and left the room.

In the 35th year of Jiajing, there were more than 5,300 candidates for the Bingchen examination. At this time, when these 5,000 people were suffering and waiting for the results of the results, for those powerful families, it only took a little bit.

After inquiring, you can easily figure out the names on the A-list.

Of course, this is just knowing the name of the juren in advance, not a major case of fraud in the imperial examination that leaks the exam questions. It is still a very simple thing for those big shots.

On the evening of the 28th, the inside and outside of the tribute courtyard in Beijing was very lively. Because it was still the same, the list would be issued tomorrow. The yamen runners and gangs in the yamen in the capital gathered here, waiting for the people inside to convey the news to them.

It’s good to make some good news by beating the gongs and gongs.

This may be the biggest difference between the imperial examination and the provincial examination. It is not that the yamen organizes people to send good news, but that the people outside the tribute court and the newspaper inside do the business together. The result is that the candidates in the examination may not say that they will receive it.

There are several good news reports for the exam.

Of course, this business is not that powerful, because most newspapers will only compete for the top-ranked candidates to send good news. If you like to be on the list, please give more rewards. If you are ranked low, you will naturally have few people to ask about it.

.

This is actually the unspoken rule of the imperial examination. Generally, the results of the palace examination are similar to those of the imperial examination, and the ranking changes are very small.

If the results of the palace examination are disrupted, the gap between the rankings and the exam is too large, especially the changes in the top scorer and the college entrance examination are huge, it often represents a change in the political trend, which means that the emperor is dissatisfied with the president or the chief examiner of the exam.

What needs to be mentioned here is that the person responsible for controlling the examination is the responsible person appointed by the court or the emperor, that is, the chief executive. They have to manage the internal and external affairs of the tribute court, but they are not responsible for the judgment of the papers, that is, who are selected.

He has no right to intervene, and he cannot even enter the inner court to participate in the judgment of candidates.

The tribute officials in this examination were the second assistant of the cabinet, Lu Ben and the second assistant of the Zhanshi Mansion, Yin Tai.

Most of the candidates in the back row have the main examination and the deputy main examination are ranked. Only the top five candidates need to be ranked by the two candidates and the 18th Room examiner, so the Huiyuan and Wujingkui selected are very, very different.

Easy.

The tribute will be released tomorrow, and there will be signs on the tribute court. The internal and external lanterns and decorations will be cleaned. In particular, a large number of newspapers gathered outside the tribute court, which is the most powerful evidence that the quotation will be released soon.

At this time, servants had already informed the incident at the Jiujiang Guild Hall. The officials near the Gongyuan did not expel those who surrounded the Gongyuan. After all, most of these people were locals and officials from the Beijing Camp.

Most of the soldiers also knew each other.

Especially at this time, all the verification procedures in the Gongyuan Academy should have been completed. The copy and ink rolls have been taken out for verification. The seal is also opened and the comparison is correct. The ranking of candidates has been settled, just waiting for the president.

Fill in the list.

When the president fills out the list, it is when the people in the tribute court pass on the message.

Often, these people are all fucked in the tribute court and have very little salary on weekdays. They can only make some money to support their families through this test, so the officials are also open to the things done by the following clerks.

Close one eye and pretend not to know.

All the candidates from Jiujiang Prefecture came out. The few who had fallen sick before have recovered, but they were a little weak. At this time, they had already sat in the lobby. The two tables next to them were merchants from Jiujiang Prefecture in Beijing, and their sense of smell was also

Strict, everyone follows the rules.

Once a student receives a good news, these businessmen will send gifts and congratulations on the list.

The awardee who has reached this point can actually be said to be an awardee, but a Jinshi, because the palace examination does not give up people, but only compares rankings.

However, no matter the ranking, you are an official and can become an official.

In this world, businessmen need to rely on officials. Even if they rely on them, they have to get along well.

The King of Hell is easy to mess with, but the little ghost is difficult to deal with, so this makes sense.
