Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2318 Wen champion Banchao, Wu champion Chen Tang

Chapter 2314: Wen champion Ban Chao, Wu champion Chen Tang

Generally speaking, although the Sui army was defeated this time and paid a considerable price, they gained even more by destroying 14 countries in the Western Regions and killing 12 Western Region coalition forces.

In contrast, although the Allied Forces of the Western Regions won, their losses were obviously greater.

However, the kings of the Western Regions didn't care, thinking that as long as the Sui army could be defeated, the Western Regions would restore peace again.

Little did he know that what the Sui army had gained in the Western Regions this time had already made Yang Guang completely focus on the Western Regions, and he used the Western Regions as a cash machine. The next attack by the Sui Army is destined not to be too far away.

After repelling the Sui army, the reputation and prestige of Ji Xiaolan, Wang Ben and other generals in the Western Regions increased greatly, so they proposed a plan to rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate, but was rejected by the 22 Western Regions.

Once the Protectorate of the Western Regions is re-established, it means that the 22 countries in the Western Regions will pay tribute to Great Qin.

The Alliance of the Western Regions had just repelled the Sui army, so naturally they didn't want Da Qin to ride on their heads.

A hundred years ago, the reason why Ban Chao was able to subdue more than 50 countries in the Western Regions was not only his personal charm and prestige, but also the dangerous external environment. The main reason was that the Han Dynasty at that time was a unified dynasty.

But even so, it took Ban Chao a full 31 years to subdue more than 50 countries in the Western Regions, and established the Protectorate of the Western Regions for the great Han.
Ji Xiaolan wanted to subdue the 22 countries in the Western Regions and achieve the same feat as Ban Chao in a mere year and the prestige accumulated in the war against the Sui Dynasty before the unification of the Great Qin Dynasty was completed. This is naturally impossible.

Although the plan to rebuild the Protectorate of the Western Regions failed, Ji Xiaolan was not discouraged, and continued to make good friends with the countries in the Western Regions, vigorously wooing forces close to the Great Qin, and at the same time sending envoys to report victory to the imperial court.

After Ying Hao of Luoyang received the news, he ordered Ji Xiaolan to be the permanent resident of the Great Qin in the Western Regions, and named him a regular servant of Sanqi. General.

Not long after, when Ji Xiaolan and Wang Ben were envoys to the Western Regions, the news that they led the Allied Forces of the Western Regions to repel the Sui Army spread throughout Daqin. The people were so excited that they even called Ji Xiaolan the next Marquis of Dingyuan.

Whether Ji Xiaolan will become the next Marquis of Dingyuan is hard to say, but the first Marquis of Dingyuan, Ban Chao, was born, and he is also the first literary champion in the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The first year of Shenwu, July [-]st.

Daqin's first imperial examination was held as scheduled.

This time the imperial examination was sponsored by the Department of Education, one of the six divisions of the Ministry of Rites. Yan Hui, the director, also invited Confucius, Xun Shuang, Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan, and Lu Zhi to serve as examiners and examiners. , and strive to make this scientific examination absolutely fair and just.

Daqin's imperial examination is divided into three steps, namely: township examination, general examination, and palace examination.

To obtain the qualification to take the imperial examination, one must first take the children's examination. Those who take the children's examination are called Confucian scholars or Tongsheng.

This is also the starting point of all students' "fame".

The township examination is held every two years in various counties and counties, also known as the big competition, and the candidates who participate are at least scholars.

However, before participating in the provincial examination, scholars must first pass the scientific examination held by the local county school. Only those with excellent grades can be selected to participate in the provincial examination.

The examination is held in the Ministry of Rites in the spring of the second year after the provincial examination, so the examination is also called Li Wei, also known as Chun Wei.

Those who participate in the general examination are Juren, who are called Gongshi after being selected, and a re-examination is generally held after the general examination.

The Palace Examination is an examination conducted by the emperor. The examination strategy is asked. Those who participate in the Palace Examination are Gongshi.

The palace examination is divided into three levels of admission, the first level is awarded "Jinshi Jiji", the second level is awarded "Jinshi background", and the third level is awarded "Jinshi background".

No.1 is commonly known as the champion, No.2 is commonly known as the second place, and No.3 is commonly known as Tanhua, collectively known as the three tripods.

The number of the second class and the third class is variable, depending on the specific situation and the appointment of officials.

The word "tong" in "Tong Jinshi" actually means "different", and it can also be understood as a quasi-jinshi.

Therefore, the status of "Tong Jinshi" is a bit embarrassing. Anyone with a little self-esteem and self-love will regard the background of "Tong Jinshi" as an unspeakable secret that cannot be washed away.

Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Gongshi, and Jinshi, these are the promotion routes for Daqin students in scientific examinations.

Immediately after the emergence of this candidate promotion system, a frenzy of examinations was ignited across the country.

Students from all over the country signed up one after another, and they wanted to take part in the local children's examination. Regardless of how many people there were, in short, they got the qualifications to take part in the imperial examination first, and only in this way could they compete for the opportunity to become an official.

The difficulty of the children's test is not high, but all the candidates who participate can basically pass the test, and the real difficulty is the next three tests.

According to statistics, as many as 3 candidates took part in the provincial examination, but only [-] passed the test, half of them were directly eliminated.

The general examination is more difficult than the rural examination. 5000 people participated, but only 3000 people finally passed and obtained the qualification to participate in the palace examination.

The palace examination needs to go to Luoyang to participate, which is naturally a heavy burden for those poor families, and many people can't even go to Luoyang.

In order to solve this problem, Daqin will provide free travel expenses for all students who pass the examination, and will arrange accommodation after arriving in Luoyang.

This policy has also been supported and praised by all officials.

Of the 200 examinees, only [-] came to Luoyang, made a pilgrimage to the palace and then took the palace examination, but not even [-] people passed the palace examination and were admitted to Jinshi.

In Daqin's first imperial examination, 190 and four officials were selected, including three in the first class, 61 in the second class, and 130 in the third class.

Of the 200 candidates, less than 150 passed the exam, and the probability of passing the exam is less than [-] in [-]. However, compared with the previous inspections, the number of candidates has been greatly increased.

Moreover, the number of officials in Daqin was also much more than that of Wei and Sui.

Since the opening of the Wei and Sui Dynasties, the number of officials each time has been less than 20.

Daqin took nearly 200 officials at one time, which has created a precedent for the number of officials taken.

Back to topic.

Among the 190 people who became officials in the Great Qin Dynasty this time, 121 were from aristocratic families, while 71 were from poor families and common people.

It can be seen from this that even though the Great Qin Dynasty Hall is dominated by officials from poor families, there are still more people from aristocratic families among the people.

Among the top three in the first imperial examination in the Qin Dynasty, the number one scholar was taken away by Ban Chao. The second place was Fazheng, the son of Fayan, and Xunyi, the son of Xunyu, was Tanhua.

Ban Chao: Commander 96, Force 75, Intelligence 97, Politics 96, Charm 95;

Fa Zheng: Commander 85, Force 56, Intelligence 97, Politics 94, Charm 82;

Xun Yi: Commander 65, Force 42, Intelligence 80, Politics 95, Charm 80;

Both Fazheng and Xunyi were sons of high-ranking officials in the Great Qin Dynasty, and only Banchao came from a poor family.

Ban Chao is one of the hidden characters of the random Hundred Call Card, and his younger sister Ban Zhao was born with him, and the two brothers and sisters were still implanted as Ban Gu's younger siblings.

Ban Gu was one of the characters born by the poet Baizhao and was implanted in the Ban family in Liangzhou.

The Ban family has long lost its glory in the past, and now it is just one of the poor families in Liangzhou.

In order to rejuvenate the family, Ban Gu participated in the imperial examination of the Sui Dynasty, and was appointed as the prefect by Yang Guang as the number one scholar.

The elder brother Ban Gu is loyal to the Sui State, but the younger brother Ban Chao is not optimistic about Yang Guang. After learning that the Great Qin has opened a science to obtain a scholar, he resolutely goes to the Great Qin to participate in the scientific examination.

The imperial examination is originally a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses. Any No. 1 is extremely rare, and being able to pass the No. 1 in the provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination successively is called the three yuan in succession.

Ban Chao is a three-yuan winner, and he is recognized as No.1 in the provincial examinations, general examinations, and palace examinations.

Both Fazheng and Xun Yi were well-known talents, and they were also the champion seeds of this imperial examination. They also achieved No.1 in the provincial and general examinations, but it was a pity that they both lost in the imperial examination. Ban Chao.

Ban Chao, who was originally unknown, defeated Fazheng and Xun Yi, and with the two as a ladder, he suddenly became famous and became a hot celebrity, and was finally named Zuo Fengling by Ying Hao.

As for the No. [-] Fazheng and Tanhua Xunyi, one was named Chancellor of Changshan, and the other was named Chancellor of Daijun.

The position of the county magistrate, on the same level as the county guard, is the second-in-command in a county. Generally, officials with more than a dozen official careers have enough qualifications to hold such important positions.

Ban Chaofazheng and Xunyi three people, but they have just started their careers and have no experience in governing. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have reached the top of the sky in one step, and this is a privilege that can only be enjoyed by the top of the imperial examination.

As for the remaining 191 people, the 61 Jinshi of the second class were also conferred official positions by Ying Hao, but most of them were county magistrates, or official positions such as five officials at the county level, that is: thief Cao, Supervising thieves, meritorious officers, master book, chief recorder;
The three princes, county guards, and county magistrates of the Han Dynasty all regarded the thief Cao, the governor of the thief, the meritorious Cao, the master book, and the master record as the five officials under the door.

As for the 130 Jinshi with the same name, they were awarded official positions such as county magistrate by Ying Hao, five officials under the county level.

The first time Daqin opened a course to recruit scholars, he took 194 officials at one time, and all of them were awarded official positions. This made those officials who failed the ranking envious to death, and deeply hated why the person on the list was not himself.

But there is no way. If you fail the ranking, you will fail the ranking. You can only go back and continue studying hard, and continue to take the scientific examination after two years.

After the Great Qin Wenju was over, the Wuju was held immediately.

The martial arts system was founded in the second year of Tang Wu Zetian Chang'an (702).

Although the Sui and Wei dynasties held civil examinations, they did not carry out martial examinations, so the Great Qin military examinations naturally set a precedent and were the first of its kind.

The martial arts exam is not as complicated as the Wenju exam. It is mainly divided into the first six exams and the last four exams.

The first six tests are: body shape, riding skills, archery, weight bearing, martial arts, and martial arts competition;

Physical fitness is mainly based on the screening of height, eyesight, hearing, and weight. People with a height of less than 1.7 meters cannot participate in martial arts. In addition, people with physical disabilities cannot participate in martial arts.

Riding, as the name suggests, is mainly about riding a horse. The better the riding skills, the higher the score.

Archery, of course, is archery, which is divided into two types: riding and stepping.

Loading tests the strength and physical fitness of candidates.

Martial arts, as the name suggests, is naturally a test of fists and weapons.

After passing five of the first six exams in the martial arts exam, you can basically screen out those who make up the numbers or those whose strength is not up to the standard among the [-] martial arts candidates, and the rest will naturally be killed. Archery, bow and horse are skilled elites.

After the [-] martial arts examinees pass the first five exams, only [-] qualified elites will take the sixth martial arts exam, a martial arts competition.

Martial arts competition, that is, 3000 candidates randomly draw lots to compete in martial arts, and the strongest [-] people will go to Luoyang to participate in the martial arts palace exam and the last four exams of martial arts.

The last four tests of martial arts are: Art of War, Battle Formation, Training, and Competition.

The last of the last four exams was a martial arts competition, but Art of War was the subject with the highest score.

Finally, in Daqin's first martial arts competition, the champion of martial arts was won by Chen Tang, Wu Tanhua was Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Houwang, and the second place in the martial arts competition was Chen Dao and Chen Shuzhi from Runan;
Chen Tang: Commander 96, Force 98, Intelligence 94, Politics 82, Charm 98;

Chen Tang is one of the figures born in the Bronze Baizhao, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty, and those who commit crimes against the strong Han will be punished even if they are far away, it is from his mouth.

Chen Dao: Commander 94, Force 99 (+2), Intelligence 87, Politics 74, Charm 90;

Chen Dao was a general under Liu Bei in the original history. He commanded and trained the "Bai Wu Bing".

Mi Houwang: Commander 78, Force 105, Intelligence 72, Politics 66, Charm 75;

The macaque king, one of the seven great sages, was implanted into Mi's family and became Mi Zhu's younger brother.

The strongest Mi Houwang turned out to be No.3, but Chen Tang and Chen Dao, who were defeated by him, became the champion and second place. This result exceeded everyone's expectations.

In fact, this is also normal. After all, Daqin's martial arts is not to select brave generals, but to select good generals who can lead the army.

This can be seen from the fact that three of the four exams after the martial arts exam are in the art of war category.

Go up to the army and plan.

Although there are many fierce generals in the Great Qin Dynasty, there are also many famous generals, and unity is greater than bravery. This is a consensus in the Great Qin Army. Many fierce generals are also learning the art of war, so the martial arts exam is naturally dominated by the art of war.

Among the [-] candidates, Mi Houwang's strength is indeed the strongest. Chen Tang is not even an all-in-one enemy, and Chen Dao can't survive a few moves, but in terms of the art of war, he is much worse than the two of them. .

In the end, although Mi Houwang's score in martial arts was the first, but his score in military strategy was very low, and this also lowered his overall score, so he was second to Chen Tang and Chen Dao.

It wasn't just Mi Houwang, there were quite a few martial arts examinees who were stronger than Chen Tang and Chen Dao, but far inferior in the art of war. In the end, their overall score was lowered and they missed the top three.

For the military champion Chen Tang, Ying Hao directly named him a battalion lieutenant, responsible for commanding the first battalion, while Chen Dao and Mi Houwang were both named army Sima.

The 10 candidates who came to take the palace examination were selected from [-] people, and they were already the elite of the elite, so Ying Hao recruited them all into the army.

In addition to the top three candidates, the top two hundred candidates will be recruited into the Nine Dragon Guards for training. After passing the exam, Ying Hao will directly award them the positions of General of Hundred People, General of Yamen, and Marquis of the Army.

As for the remaining 800 people, they were all absorbed into elite battalions such as the trapped camp, the Flying Tiger Army, and the Broken Army Camp, adding new vitality to these elite camps.
