Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 739 The cruel reality

Jia Rong is playing tricks too!

In the plot of the novel, scholars or literati and civil official groups are most proud of the imperial examination, the doorways and various hidden rules in it are all revealed.

After all, I have stayed in the Zongying world in the late Qing Dynasty for so long, and I have learned some information in modern society, and I have a good understanding of the inside story of the imperial examination.

At this time, through the various experiences of the male pig's foot Chen Shimei, he will tell the inside story in an orderly manner.

For example, after getting acquainted with so-called friends of the same age, some information I got from them is quite amazing.

This man was born in a certain academy in the same year, and according to what he said, almost all the academies took over all the places for juren.

There are very few opportunities and quotas for the rest of the reference scholars!

As for how the various academies can get most of the candidates for the exam under the condition of sealing their names?
It's not a blatant fraud, but the method is quite simple.

Look at the style of writing, look at the habits of writing, and some quite characteristic personal writing styles.

Those outstanding students in the academies, their proficiency in writing, and various habits, are very clear to the senior management of the major academies.

Once you are an examiner and grader, you will naturally be biased.

Think about it, all the test papers that are about the same level as the students in the academy basically can't pass the examiner's test.

There are only so many places to be admitted in the autumn session every three years, how many of them will be left after the major academies are divided?

It can be said that under such circumstances, non-academy students who can still be admitted to Juren are either very lucky or have really strong abilities.

The drunk scholar from the academy said very bluntly that if he hadn't seen that Chen Shimei had a good chance of getting a Jinshi, it would be a dream for him to mix into the circle of the academy's candidates.

Chen Shimei was very shocked when he heard this "speech the truth after drinking" by accident.

Subconsciously, he became a little more defensive and repulsive towards the academy candidates.

Of course, the surface remains the same.

These plots, listening to the ears of the audience, are another taste.

If it doesn't exist here, how can it be possible to understand the inside story?
It can only be said that after hearing the story, one of the main reasons why those famous academies are so popular and more famous is here.

I don't know what the ordinary listeners are thinking. Anyway, those scholars who are born in poverty and not from academies, probably feel chilled in their hearts.

Of course, despite the indignation in my heart, I will not rashly make a fuss. After all, is this just a plot in a novel? It can't be regarded as 'true'.

It's just that the plot of this story is too real.

No matter who listened to it, there was a rather exaggerated sense of reality in their hearts.

"We can't let this kind of story continue to be passed down!"

The capital city is the stronghold of the civil official group. As soon as a novel story like "Chen Shimei's Biography" came out, many civil officials had heard of it.

It's just that later, the more I heard it, the more uncomfortable it became.

The plot of the story is relatively plain, but the shortcomings of the imperial examination revealed in it made them unable to sit still.

Even though the dynasty in the story is the Song Dynasty, how can it make the audience feel like the current dynasty?
In the Song Dynasty, there was no such thing as the Tongsheng Examination and the Academy Examination. There were only two examinations: the Examination and the General Examination.

Of course, ordinary people or scholars who don't understand history don't know this at all, and it is easy to apply the imperial examination system of this dynasty.

Several civil officials who felt that something was wrong, immediately passed the news to the high-level officials, wanting to ban the spread of "Chen Shimei's Biography".

However, their expectations were doomed to fail.

The capital is not only the base camp of the civil official group, but also the most powerful area of ​​the royal family, and the home of the honorable group.

The civil official group wants to take action to ban the spread of "Chen Shimei's Biography", so they have to ask the Xungui Group whether they agree?
In short, it is basically impossible to ban the dissemination of "Chen Shimei's Biography" if there are obstacles.

At this time, the story of "Chen Shimei's Biography" revealed another wave of big melons.

The male pig-footed Chen Shimei felt that she was successful in her studies and her own level was not low, so she rushed to the capital to participate in the Chunwei Examination with her childhood friend from the same province.

During this period, I just wrote a letter to my wife Qin Xianglian who was far away in my hometown.

Not only that, but the confidante he met in the provincial capital, and the oiran of the brothel he saw right, were even abandoned by him without even getting any news.

At this time, Chen Shimei already had the character of a bastard in the legendary story.

It was only after arriving in the capital that Chen Shimei was hit hard again.

The academy recruits who were traveling with him simply forgot about him, and spent the whole day either visiting this Hanlin, or posting notes to visit a certain official doctor from the same academy.

Not only that, they are also very active and enthusiastic in participating in the provincial academies' nominations, and the joint literary conferences are often attended by officials from Beijing and China.

And these, Chen Shimei is not qualified to participate, who said he is not an academy candidate?

What he can participate in is the shabby cultural gatherings held by some Juren from poor backgrounds.

The psychological gap is a bit big. He who had attracted much attention in the provincial capital originally became a little transparent that no one noticed after he came to the capital.

What's more terrible is that Ju Ren, who was born in a college with him, confided the truth after drunk, like a thunderbolt from the blue, blasting him to the outside, and he was flustered for a while, not knowing what to do.

This guy uttered wild words after drinking, in addition to taking the test of the three tripods, there is also a second grade to award the top ten Jinshi, who can be directly awarded an official.

The rest of the non-academy-born Jinshi can only wait slowly for the imperial court to appoint officials.

Although Chen Shimei is conceited about her talent and learning, she is not sure that she can do so well in the exam.

He was not from an academy, so it was obviously impossible for him to directly appoint an official to act as a tyrant.

This news hit him hard, and he was almost devastated.

But at this time, the man who uttered the truth after drinking was really not afraid of drinking himself to death, and once again gave Chen Shimei a pretty good way out after being drunk.

That is, after the Spring Festival, when the list of Jinshi is released, there is still a period of time before the final trial.

At this time, the dignitaries in the capital and even the royal family began to quietly contact these young Jinshi. If they were not married, they might be favored or even become concubines.

When Chen Shimei heard this, he was immediately moved. Isn't this a shortcut for him to directly enter the elite class?
If one becomes a son-in-law, a county horse or a county horse, one is directly a member of the royal family, and is naturally a member of the powerful.

As for becoming a son-in-law, county horse or county horse, one cannot serve as a real-time official, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

If he didn't take this step, it would be difficult to even be awarded an official directly. He is a Jinshi from a poor background, what can he do even when he gets to the place?
As for the wife and children in my hometown, I didn't take it to heart at all at this time...
