The capital of a state.

This may be Wen Zhengming's lifelong regret. Although he was talented, he could not pass the imperial examination. After all, he was still a lot lower than Liu Jin and others who were serious scholars.

Just like Tang Bohu in history, because he was involved in a scientific examination case, although he was not sentenced in the end, he could not be an official for the rest of his life and could only be a petty official.

This was simply an insult to a great talent like Tang Bohu, so he would rather not be a petty official than to show his nobility.

Although I wrote poems like "Taohuawu" to show that I don't care about false fame and don't pay attention to fame or anything like that, this is just a manifestation of depression.

Like now, Tang Bohu was born as a serious Jinshi, and his career as an official was smooth, and there is no such thing as the Peach Blossom Immortal of Taohuawu.

After all, under the imperial examination system, everyone among these scholars wanted to go to high school and become an official.

But under the eight-part essay system, it is really not easy to get into high school. Even a great talent like Wen Zhengming could not even pass the imperial examination. This shows how difficult the imperial examination is.

Of course, Wen Zhengming is from Suzhou. This southern Zhili province has been full of talented people since ancient times. The difficulty of the scientific examination at this period was hellish, and passing the examination was really difficult.

Therefore, in the chain of contempt among scholars in the Ming Dynasty, scholars looked down on scholars, scholars looked down on scholars, and those who could enter the Hanlin Academy looked down on those who could not.

In front of Liu Jin, who was a serious scholar and became an official, Wen Zhengming, Cai Yu, Zhu Yunming, Tang Zhen and others suddenly felt that they were several steps short. There was no way, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were pissed like this, and they were all inferior.
