The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 385 Giving Tong Jinshi's Background, Wan Yangou's Scheming (Full Order)
The next day.

Bai's father hired a famous teacher from Lin'an to teach Bai Gui with a lot of money.

"Chongning and Xuanhe imperial examinations for Jinshi, in Lin'an Prefecture, I taught three Jinshi, your son is talented and intelligent, he will definitely win the championship, and win the exam in one fell swoop!"

An old Confucian scholar with loose clothes and sleeves said this to Father Bai in front of the Bai Family Hall.

"I am relieved to have Mr. Zhou teaching Quanzi's homework."

Father Bai accompanied him, cupped his hands and said.

Regardless of the fact that this old Confucian scholar has no fame, the best result is just being selected in the Fajie Examination (those who pass the tribute examination are called candidates), but the professors are excellent. Candidates in Lin'an Prefecture passed the examination and became Jinshi, which shows their ability.

"Fugui met Master Zhou..."

Bai Gui also saluted in front of the hall, worshiping this old Confucian student as his teacher.

However, they didn't set the status of master and apprentice between them. It was just that Bai's father specially hired a famous teacher at a high price for the sake of Bai Guineng's prodigy.

Shaoxing's 12-year Spring Expedition has already begun.

The list of scientific examinations for the Provincial Examination (Shangshu Provincial Rites Examination) will soon be listed by the Gongyuan.

Therefore, Zhao Gou's imperial decree is to specially approve Bai Gui to directly participate in the palace examination.

The palace examination, according to the past practice, after the results of the provincial examination, within a month, the palace examination will start, and the ranking of Jinshi in the provincial examination will be ranked.

The Shangshu Provincial Ritual Examination can be regarded as the general examination of the Ming and Qing dynasties. If you pass the provincial examination, you can enter Beijing to participate in the examination. ranking.

The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were not as complete as those in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there was a strict promotion system.Like Xining Xingxue (Xining, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, presided over by Wang Anshi), Chongning Xingxue (Chongning, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, presided over by Cai Jing), the implementation of the Sanshe Law, "the upper class is an official, the middle class is exempted from the Ministry of Rites, and the lower class "Wait for exemption" means that students in the upper dormitory can be directly awarded officials, students in the middle dormitory are exempted from the provincial examination and enter the palace examination, and students in the lower dormitory are exempted from the examinations conducted by various states and go directly to the provincial examination.

In the Song Dynasty, there were three levels of imperial examinations, namely, solution examination (state examination), provincial examination, and palace examination.

And child prodigy is not as strict as other subjects.

It's not a special favor to directly enter the palace examination, it's just a routine.

With the surprise training from the old Confucian students, Bai Gui also began to gradually master the Confucian classics at this time, and became familiar with them.

……

Five days later, the results of the provincial examination were released, and the time for the palace examination was set.

More than twenty days later.

The imperial examination begins.

Bai Gui went to Lin'an Palace to take the exam.

Hanging Palace.

Row after row of wooden cases are displayed, and candidates are all listed to answer.

There are candidates for Jinshi, Nine Classics, Five Classics, Kaiyuan Li, Three History, Three Rites, Three Biography, Scholars, Mingfa, Mingjing and other subjects.

"In the eighth year of Xining, Wang Anshi reformed the law and ordered the abolition of poems, scriptures, and Mo Yi to select scholars, and only selected scholars based on classics, theory, and strategy."

"People in the Song Dynasty also said: 'The country uses subjects to collect the world's talents, righteousness to observe its mastery of classics, endowments to observe its profound knowledge, theory to observe its knowledge, and policy to observe its talents.'"

"So throughout the dynasties, policy questions have been more important than poetry and prose."

Bai Gui sat in the row of the child prodigy section, raised his head, and looked at the examination questions of the Jinshi section and other subjects. These examination questions were all held by the clerk and walked back and forth, so he could see one or two.

In terms of questions, the questions in the palace examination are all policy questions.

It's all about the current situation.

How to solve the multiple problems of finance, people's livelihood, border preparations, etc.

"It's easier said than done."

"Zhao Jiumei also has ambitions in her heart, but it's a pity... only ambitions, but no courage. It's not that Song people have no available national scholars, but Zhao Song can't."

Seeing this, Bai Gui shook his head.

He is a candidate for the child prodigy department, not a candidate for the Jinshi department, Mingfa department, etc. Although he can answer these questions, one has nothing to do with him. What can you do if you answer the two? I know you have talent, but you don’t know how to use it. you.

He bowed his head and concentrated on the poems on the test paper.

Hmm... Although since the Zhao and Song dynasties, policy questions have been emphasized over poetry and prose, but for state affairs such as policy questions, one would never ask the candidates of the prodigy department, Huangkou Ruzi, what he can say.

Soon, pen and paper will be written.

Wrote a response poem.

He continued to write and wrote a Fu with gorgeous rhetoric.

Zhao Gou, who is above Danbi, is sitting on the dragon chair, looking down at these candidates, and all kinds of small movements of the candidates cannot escape his eyes.

Bai Gui's actions made his eyes light up slightly.

Even though the other child prodigies are smart, they are young and more active after all. It is rare for someone to develop Bai Gui's calm demeanor. The thoughtful look was also caught in his eyes, and his curiosity suddenly arose.

This is not because Bai Gui can't pretend, but that there is no need to pretend.

No one would doubt a six or seven year old child.

Furthermore, Bai Gui's cultivation base is not shallow at this time, so he no longer needs to deliberately hide himself.Attending the prodigy department at this time is just to reassure parents in this world temporarily, there is no need to be too cautious.

"Go and bring me the boy's test paper."

Zhao Gou gave instructions to the eunuch beside him.

He saw that Bai Gui's test paper was already stained with ink, and it was full of writing.

Among all the child prodigies, he is outstanding.

Therefore, there is an interest in viewing.

The eunuch walked up to Bai Gui, apologized, took away a poem and a fu that Bai Gui had already written, and took them away to consecrate them.

Bai Gui was calm and relaxed, not surprised.

This is within his expectations.

The number of child prodigies who have been granted the qualifications for the palace examination is not many, only seven or eight of them.And the boy was inevitably a bit eye-catching among the crowd of scientific research scholars, after all, he was auspicious.

It is even easier for him to stand out among these people.

"Good poetry, good Fu, good literary talent..."

"Unexpectedly, a boy can write such an article, which is not worse than the candidates of Jinshi."

Zhao Gou praised Bai Gui's poems when he saw them.

This is a poem written by Bai Gui deliberately hidden and clumsy, and its level can only be regarded as medium.But whoever makes Bai Gui is relatively young in this world at this time, even if his writing is average, it is enough to make people wonder.

"Meet it, what do you think of this poem?"

Zhao Gou looked at the middle-aged purple-robed official beside him, handed over the test paper, and asked.

The Song Dynasty inherited the Tang system, and those above the third rank wore purple robes.

This official had three clear beards under his chin, and his face was upright, with the appearance of a stern and loyal minister.

(Qin Hui, the word will be.)
Qin Hui heard the words at this moment, cupped his hands, and said: "Let me take a look."

He said, took the test paper.

"This poem is not bad... and it was written by a student of the child prodigy department. Your Majesty can choose to record it."

He chewed the chapters and sentences of this poem, and after a while, he said.

He has a lot of knowledge. He passed the Jinshi examination and then served as a prime minister. He has seen many strange essays through the ages. In his opinion, Bai Gui's poems and essays can only be regarded as good.

But he's not bad, he's definitely at the top of the child prodigy department.

"Let... this son of the Bai family come over and have a chat with me."

Hearing this, Zhao Gou chuckled lightly, nodded, and ordered.

Eunuch order.

Bai Gui stepped forward, left the wooden case, bowed his hands to Zhao Gou, and stood under Majesty Dan.

"You little boy, come to the hall."

"Sit here with me."

Zhao Gou put on a friendly look, pointed to his thigh, and smiled.

The thigh, which means it is obvious, has high hopes for Bai Gui, and will be the minister of the Song Dynasty in the future.

Stock refers to the thigh.

Brachial refers to the part of the arm from the elbow to the shoulder.

In fact it is.

Many of the child prodigies selected by the child prodigy department have high official positions, and the most famous one is Yan Shu, who ranges from an official to a prime minister.Even though the other child prodigies are not as good, they are still high officials in the court.

In addition, although the dragon chair that Zhao Gou was sitting on symbolized the supreme imperial power in the world, it would not be too illegal for him to let a boy go up to Danbi, and he made a gesture of intimacy. Who would think of blaming a boy.

In the same way, this shows that the emperor loves talents and attaches great importance to culture and education.

"The official family..."

"Xiaomin has always been governed by the Spring and Autumn Period. In "Zuo Zhuan: The Second Year of Cheng Gong", it is said: "Utensils and names, you can't be a fake person." The king of Dan is your majesty, and Xiaomin dare not disobey."

Bai Gui responded immediately, clapping his hands and replying.

He didn't want to really be a boy, and accompany Zhao Gou to pretend to be a show.Besides, His Majesty Dan, it's not like he hasn't sat before.

Your Majesty, the original meaning refers to the waiter standing in front of His Majesty Dan, because the courtiers cannot directly address the Son of Heaven when speaking to the Son of Heaven, they must first address the waiters in the audience.Over time, it evolved into a respectful title for the emperor by courtiers.

Therefore, Bai Gui first said that utensils and names should not be handed over to others, and then used the title of Your Majesty to skillfully dissolve Zhao Gou's request invisibly.

"What a boy, with a sharp tongue..."

"But you are a child, what age do you read?"

Zhao Gou was overjoyed when he heard the words, but his face showed some displeasure. He pondered for a while and said, "All the poems and prose of Bai's son are in my heart. I especially reward him from the same Jinshi background, and give it to the official secretary Lang."

"Secretary Lang?"

As soon as the words fell, Bai Gui was slightly surprised when he heard the words.

He became a secretary in the two imperial examinations, but the difference this time is that he did not pass the official examination.Moreover, the position of Secretary Lang was not really for him to take up, but it was used to determine the rank of his officials, the ninth-rank official of the imperial court.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

Bai Gui saluted and thanked him.

In the Song Dynasty, after the child prodigies passed the imperial examinations, they were basically bestowed with Jinshi backgrounds to show the greatness of the emperor's grace.Just like Yan Shu, who entered the examination as a child prodigy at the age of 14, was born as a Jinshi with Tong Tong, and was appointed as the official secretary.After Cai Bozhen passed the child prodigy department, he was granted the same Jinshi background by Song Zhenzong, and was awarded the Secretary Provincial Zhengzi.

"Don't be in a hurry to say thank you."

"Your name is wealth, then I will give you another fortune. According to my investigation, Lin'an Bai's Cloth Shop has always been benevolent, and the sale of goods this time has not been a surprise... You can also go to the palace to buy cloth Your family."

(Cao Ying Zhi Qi refers to merchants seeking odd profits.)
Zhao Gou smiled and said.

This time, Bai Gui won the child prodigy department, and he will definitely become famous all over the world, and the "bundled sales" of Bai's cloth shop is cheaper than other cloth shops, which is indeed benevolent.His kindness was actually killing two birds with one stone. After the decree was issued, not to mention that these Northern Expeditionary troops would be immediately available, but at least they were better than before.

Regain the morale of the army, step by step.

How can I become fat with one bite.

Bai's Buzhuang is just a random strategy in this series of plans.

Bai Gui paid homage.

Hearing what Zhao Jiumei said, his heart brightened like a mirror.

I also know what Zhao Gou thinks.

Don't watch Zhao Jiumei discussing peace with the Jin people, just like Wan Yangou.But it is wrong to think that Zhao Gou is a fatuous and incompetent emperor based on this.Being able to flee south to Jiangnan, quickly organize another court, and be able to carry out the Northern Expedition, this ability surpassed many emperors of all dynasties.

You can call him Wanyanhou, but you don't have to call him a fatuous monarch.

　　Ask for a monthly pass...
