Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 647 If You Are the Emperor of Ming Dynasty (please subscribe!)
The days of waiting are the hardest.

The general examination is the most critical threshold. Those who pass the general examination are eligible to participate in the palace examination.

The palace examination is only a ranking examination, and candidates are usually not deposed.

However, there are also differences in ranked exams.

Only three people are selected for the first list, namely No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tan Hua.

The number of people enrolled in the second list is uncertain, No.1 is called Chuanlu, and the first two lists are serious Jinshi, which is called "two list Jinshi origin".

If it is the third list, it will be awarded "from the same Jinshi background".

The word "tong" is very different from Jinshi.Scholars' mouths are also very poisonous. There is a saying called "Tong Jinshi, like a wife", which means that a wife is a concubine, and they compare Tong Jinshi to a concubine.

After passing the examination as a Jinshi, basically the upper limit of this life is a magistrate.

If Pan Boheng does not get a Jinshi this time, the emperor will not be able to help him clean up.

One morning, while Pan Boheng was still studying, the messenger of good news suddenly arrived and knocked on their door.

He stood up with a "bass" and announced the list!

Readers who often watch costume dramas will find that after the end of each imperial examination, the government will announce the list of admissions. It seems that there are very few things like "admission notices".

In fact, the ancient imperial examinations also had admission notices. In different eras, the "admission notice" sent to the Jinshi who was admitted to the imperial examination had completely different names.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, after the government released the rankings, in order to encourage students to study hard and expand the influence of the imperial examinations, they would make a very beautiful "illuminated gold post" and go to the homes of the candidates who passed the Jinshi exam to announce the good news.

Developed to the Ming Dynasty, the original "posts" during the Tang and Song Dynasties were replaced by "good news". For test takers, counties and counties will also send good news to the candidates' homes.

The content written in Jiebao is relatively simple. Generally, it only writes the candidate's name, rank in the institute, hometown, and the names of the three generations of ancestors.

Since there was a special imperial examination fee in the Ming Dynasty, since the appearance of this "good news", the custom of "good news money" has gradually evolved among the people.

Part of the money for the good news came from the official funding of the Ming court. In the examination fees of the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty, the expenses for rewarding the reporter and entertaining the neighbors were specially divided.

There is also a part of the tips given by the candidates.

Therefore, in order to send good news to the wealthy families, the tolerances in the yamen fought over this matter, because these wealthy families rewarded more "happy money".

If there are some tolerances who bully others again, ordinary people will invite these tolerances in to eat and drink, and give a lot of silver rewards before they are willing to hand over the good news and leave.

Due to the funding from the government and the "bullying" of the journalists on official missions, in addition to receiving the special funding from the imperial court, they also have to obtain monetary benefits by squeezing the people.

The emergence of good news, although it formed the learning atmosphere in the whole Ming Dynasty society, at the same time it also promoted the emergence of unhealthy atmospheres such as "reporting on the list, setting up memorial archways, and sex tours".

It is a happy event to be a high school scholar, but these newspaper deliverers have increased the social burden by squeezing the common people.

Of course, the enthusiasm of the good news is undeniable. For example, it has another function, which is the same as the "Golden Flower Post", which has the function of shining in the family.

The shape and size of the merit report are similar to today's certificates of merit, so the family members will post the merit report in the most prominent place in the home, so that the visiting guests can see this glory at a glance. ".

Before Pan Boheng came to the door, he heard an annunciation officer shouting loudly outside the door: "Good news for the test, Mr. Pan Boheng of Hegui Mansion will test No. 10 in the gold list!"

After countless words, Pan's mother had already prepared twenty silver dollars of happy money.

He was so happy to announce the good news, it was not in vain for him to get up early in the morning to snatch this beautiful mission to Pan's residence!

Twenty silver dollars is quite a lot, and their Pan family is not a family of merchants. Twenty silver dollars may be the annual income of ordinary people.

Pan Boheng happily jumped up on the spot and shouted loudly: "Mother! I got hit! Hahaha!"

If it is No.10, work harder in the palace exam, and you may not be the number one!

Pan's mother was also very excited, holding his hand and weeping with joy.

Finally, on February [-]th, the palace examination began!
Pan Boheng had nothing to worry about, and arrived at the palace early in the carriage.

All the pens, inks, papers and inkstones for the palace examination are prepared in the examination room, and candidates do not need to carry them, just put on their clothes, and just pass by.

According to the usual practice, the palace examination is generally held in the square in front of the Jinluan Hall in the palace, and the emperor Zhu Kezang himself acts as the examiner.

The newly released Jinshi will become the emperor's students, known as the emperor's disciples.

Serving as the chief examiner is a tiring job, but to determine the ranking, the emperor must do it himself.

On the Royal Road of Daming Gate, there are already many candidates queuing up.

In order to maintain the order of the palace, the Ministry of Rites specially arranged for small officials to organize the formation. Their attitude was very friendly, which was completely different from the previous meeting.

After all, these people in front of them are all "students of the Son of Heaven", and they may be officials in the same court in the future, so please be more polite, so we can meet each other in the future.

After finishing the formation, they stepped forward to verify their identities one after another.

After so many exams, Pan Boheng is also familiar with the road.

However, Jin Yiwei personally inspected this link. If someone hid a grenade and a pistol, wouldn't it be "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin"!
After verifying that they were right, the examinees lined up according to their ranks in the examination and quietly entered the square in front of the Golden Luan Hall. At this time, the sky was already slightly bright.

I saw tables and chairs placed on the square, and a dragon chair on the white marble steps above, which was the place where the chief examiner, His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Kezang, sat.

The seat order of the palace examination is also arranged according to the ranking of the general examination. Pan Boheng is in the top ten, and his seat is at the very front.

Thinking that the emperor will be not far above him when the time comes, it is inevitable that he will be nervous.

The candidates are all here, and so are the assistant examiners.

Next came various etiquettes. The examinees had gone through a short training session in advance by the Ministry of Etiquette, and they behaved well.

Pan Boheng stood in front, went through all the etiquette with the crowd, and was finally able to sit down, and then it was time to distribute the test papers.

The Imperial Examination of the New Daming Dynasty only examines questions. The time is one day. Enter at dawn and hand in papers at dusk. There is still plenty of time, and you can write as much as you want.

Pan Boheng was full of confidence at first, but when he saw the test paper, he was dumbfounded on the spot.

This naked malice is almost overflowing from the test paper!

However, he was by no means the only one who was stunned. Pan Boheng can guarantee that everyone present was stunned.

Because the title is: "What is the Holy Son of Heaven for?"!
It means if you are Zhu Kezang, what should you do!
