My life skills in Daming Liver

After leaving the examination courtyard square, Su Ze said to Lin and Chen, "I'm shortlisted."

Lin Qingcai showed an envious expression, while Chen Chaoyuan congratulated Su Ze and said, "I was lucky enough to be on the sub-list."

Now Lin Qingcai was even more depressed, but Chen Chaoyuan was not too excited.

The secondary list is a supplementary list, and the next two exams must be taken.

But entering the sub-list is considered to be behind in the group score, and the qualifying of the group depends on the performance of the teams in front.

Besides, Chen Chaoyuan's ranking in the sub list is not high, and the probability of being replaced is not high.

So in the face of Lin Qingcai's congratulations, Chen Chaoyuan was also a little weak-willed. It was not the first time he was on the sub-list, and he knew the truth that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

However, it was also included in the sub list. After Su Ze congratulated Chen Chaoyuan, Chen Chaoyuan said:

"The second county test will be at Maoshi tomorrow, brother Ru Lin, hurry back and recharge your batteries."

It was five o'clock in the morning, and Su Ze asked suspiciously, "Why so early?"

Chen Chaoyuan sighed and said, "It's not because the scholars who won't win will cause trouble. The second test is also called the morning test, and the test can be finished before noon."

Su Ze was also speechless, which shows how the official credibility of the Ming Dynasty is.

Of course, there is a reason why the imperial examinations are fiercely competitive, and scholars are not convinced by their success in the examinations.

More importantly, it is true that there are serious frauds in the imperial examinations, and scholars in the county do not trust the government.

In fact, not to mention the county examination, there have been fraud cases even in the general examination, such as the famous North and South List case in the early Ming Dynasty.

There are different opinions about the North and South List case, and there are often printed booklets of "Secrets of the North and South List" in Yujia Bookstore. This kind of street stall literature is very popular, but it may be banned by the government, so the bookstores only take it out in the evening Sell.

The case of the North and South Lists was a matter in the Hongwu year. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang used Chen Sanxing as the main examiner, and all the Jinshi in the final examination results were from the south.

This aroused strong opposition from northern scholars. Zhu Yuanzhang tried the case himself and overturned the results of the Nanbang. All the Jinshi hand-picked were from the north.

The chief examiner, co-examiner, invigilator, and accompanying examiner who participated in the case were all convicted, and the minister who submitted a letter to report was also convicted. It has a lot of sequelae.

The economic and cultural development of the north and the south is uneven. After the case of the north and the south, the imperial court acquiesced in the admission ratio of scholars from the north and the south.

Later, the struggle between the north and the south created a gap between the elites of the empire.

The result of the fraud case in the examination room is also full of doubts. It is the first time that one person from the north was not selected, which is indeed fraudulent. However, Zhu Yuanzhang personally sentenced and the south did not take one person. In fact, he suspected that the southern scholars were too powerful in the court, so he promoted the northerners. The scholar's balance.

In other words, the original corruption issue was finally resolved with political issues.

The result of this treatment, of course, balanced the situation of the imperial court at that time, but it also intensified ordinary scholars' doubts about the fairness and seriousness of the imperial examination.

The results of the general examinations judged by the emperor himself are all such a joke, so what is the fairness of the subsequent imperial examinations?

In the next few dynasties, there were frequent cases of imperial examination fraud, which aggravated the dissatisfaction of ordinary scholars. The credibility of the imperial court had been lost, and it would be wrong to do anything.

After that, the behavior of the chief examiner supporting the fellow villagers and uniting the party with the villagers became more and more serious, which was the root cause of the early Ming Dynasty.

The county test is not credible, and the second test has to be played before dawn, and Su Ze is also convinced.

Returning to the editorial department, Su Ze began to recharge his batteries.

Although the name and number plate registration system was used, those who are interested have already found out the results of the first exam.

The clerk who registers the examination book is a person, and the county government itself is like a sieve, so there is no need to deliberately inquire about it, and the news will spread.

Even in the examination institute known as the lock court, Baizhi County knew that the top six was Su Ze.

Hearing that it was Su Ze, Baizhi County was also very surprised.

He thought Su Ze couldn't answer and handed in the paper in advance, but he didn't expect him to answer so well.

Thinking of Su Ze's ingenious problem solving in the county school that day, it seems that this student is really eager.

Picking up the exam paper again, looking at the content, Baizhi County felt that he appreciated it even more. He copied Su Ze's exam paper and planned to send it to a few colleagues of the same year to have a good look at it.

In the back house of the magistrate's yamen, Fang Zhifu also knew that Su Ze was number one on the list.

Generally speaking, the first place in the first county test, no accident, is the first place in the county test.

The first place in the county examination is also called the head of the case. During the prefectural examination, the head of the county examination can generally pass the test.

This can be regarded as an unspoken rule in the officialdom. The first place in your county pilot failed the government examination. Doesn't that mean that there is water in the county examination?

Doesn't this mean that the magistrate said that the magistrate's work is not good?

Fang Zhifu nodded slightly, but unfortunately he would not be able to see Su Ze's paper until the exam was over.

If you can be admitted as a scholar, you can barely pass the exam.

Juren can take the exam slowly. Anyway, I am in good health, so I am not in a hurry.

"Send this news to the lady's room, don't be too deliberate."

The personal book boy understood immediately.

That night, Fang Zhifu had a few more meat dishes that he liked for dinner, and a sweet soup after the meal.

And Peng An took a big food box full and sent it to Su Ze's temporary residence.

While eating the food in the food box, Su Ze saw the sachet again.

Miss Fang's culinary skills are at least Lv10. Why is the embroidery female worker's level so low?

Thinking of the other party's attainments in calligraphy and poetry, it seems that they are not compatible with female workers?

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Qingcai accompanied the two of them to the examination hall. This time, the sentries in the guard station were not so strict. Su Ze sat in the examination shed of the sixth class according to the number plate from last time.

It was still dark at this time, and the scribes began to distribute candles.

The content of the second exam is Zhao Haobiao's judgment, which is actually the writing of four kinds of official documents.

The requirements of the county test are very low, as long as the format is correct, there is no requirement on the content, the main thing is the format of the official document of the test.

Because it was not yet dawn, and this exam was not the Five Classics, the content of the exam was the same for everyone, so the officials of the county government's ceremonial room read out the content of the exam.

The content is also very simple, this time the test is "hao" and "judgment".

Hao, also issued a letter.

The topic of the county examination this time is "Refraining from Jiuhao".

The content is very simple, it is a court decree calling on the people to cherish food and use less food to make wine.

This article is considered a sub-question, the reason is very simple, there is a model essay.

In "Shangshu, Zhoushu", there is an article "Jiuhao", the author is the famous Zhou Gongdan, and it is also a bibliography that all scholars must memorize.

From this point of view, Baizhi County was released in the second exam. It should be written according to Zhou Gong's thinking, and the current Hao's format should be applied.

Su Ze smiled. This "Jiuhao" is also very interesting.

"Jiu Hao" is China's first alcohol ban. In addition, a classic political assassination in history was also completed through "Jiu Hao".

Yu Wenhu, a power minister in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was the power minister in the early days of Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

In order to kill Yuwenhu, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenyong told Yuwenhu that the Queen Mother had recently been addicted to alcohol, and asked Yuwenhu to enter the palace to read "Jiu Hao" to persuade the Queen Mother.

Yu Wenhu didn't know the assassination plan, so he entered the palace happily. Before he finished reading, Yu Wenyong hit him from behind with a jade wat, and Yu Wenhu fell to the ground. The guards stepped forward to kill Yu Wenhu, and a generation of powerful officials died in the palace like this.

The power tactics you think, "Langya Bang" uses the chessboard of the world, with the hearts of the people as the chess pieces, and the net of heaven and earth is pressing every step of the way.

In fact, he was tricked into the palace and killed by tricks.

In fact, the former is only seen in novelists, while the latter is the normal state of political struggle.

Kang Mazi's removal of Oboi is also this plan, which shows the practicability of this plan.

Of course, this is also because Oboi doesn't study. After Yu Wenhu, the powerful ministers of Bingzheng seldom go to the harem alone, just like the modern black boss who wears a helmet when fishing.

Su Ze finished writing "Jiu Hao" quickly, and then he was sentenced.

Judgment is the verdict.

However, this question is not about how to judge a case, but how to write a verdict.

This format was also trained by Su Ze, and the case was very clear. Su Ze finished writing it quickly, corrected the typos and copied it into the examination paper.

During this period, the magistrate of Bai County also walked around in front of Su Ze's examination shed, seeing that Su Ze's handwriting was neat, and the writing of Hao and Judgment was also very standard, and he was very satisfied.

Before nine o'clock, basically everyone finished the exam, and went home quickly after leaving the exam institute.

The second round of corrections was also very fast, and the red list was posted again the next day. This time, the sixth grade was still in the middle of the word "中", and the top ten rankings did not change much.

But what was unexpected was that several people from the outer circle of the group case were dismissed, and it was not known whether they were in the wrong format or there was a problem with the exam papers, so Chen Chaoyuan actually added to the main list.

Chen Chaoyuan was ecstatic. After the third round of the exam, he will be the final ranking, and he still has a chance!

Peng An sent food boxes again, and soon came the last exam.

The last examination, that is, policy theory.

However, before the palace examination in the Ming Dynasty, policy theory was not emphasized, so the questions were very simple, which can be regarded as a situation.

There is still no problem with the format of the test paper and taboos, and the ranking is basically determined.

Sometimes the county magistrate who set the question will also ask some questions to ask young scholars for their opinions.

However, according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, practice cannot be tested.

The reason is very simple, what level of official are you Zhixian, you are also worthy of asking questions?

Asking policy is something that my old Zhu family can only do. You are a county magistrate and you have to ask policy. Will you still have it in the future? Is it possible to be a regent?

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, except for the policy theory of the palace examination, the rest of the policy theory could not talk about actual facts.

However, this kind of thing also has policies and countermeasures.

If you don't talk about facts, let's talk about history.

The title of Baizhi County is "On the Policy of the Song and Yuan Japanese Rebellions".

Well, now I can’t write about the Anti-Japanese War, so I’ll write about the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Su Ze picked up the pen and wrote down a set of smooth and steady strategies for the Pingwa.

In general, it is about rectifying coastal defense. As for the opening of the sea ban, it belongs to the law of the ancestors and cannot be written.

It is a key policy article in itself, so naturally there is no practicability.

For example, in the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, that is, "Tiao Chen Hai Fang Shu" published by Zhao Wenhua this year.

The article is naturally well written, but what is the content?

One defense, two offenses, three caresses, and three strategies combined can win.

This is what is called correct nonsense.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, those ministers would always implement strategies for flattening Liao Dynasty, which was basically the same routine, anyway, it was just talking about cars.

It depends on who has a good literary talent and whose articles are well written, which can impress the emperor.

Su Ze's "Pingwo Policy" is also such correct nonsense.

When Baizhi County was inspecting the examination room, he also stopped outside Su Ze's examination shed for a while.

The content of "Pingwo Policy" written by Su Ze is also Zhongping, but the literary talent is good, and it also quotes the experience of Pingwo in the Yuan Dynasty, which has already made Baizhi County very satisfied.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were already Japanese pirates infesting the southeast sea area, and it became more and more serious in the Yuan Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates were very rampant. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang executed ministers, and the most common crime was "communication with Japanese pirates".

Tongwa in the early Ming Dynasty is similar to the "private possession of armor" in the Han Dynasty. Anyway, if you are guilty, you are guilty.

After the three exams, Su Ze felt exhausted all over his body. The county exam was the least physically exhausting of the imperial examinations. It seemed that he was not in good health and could not pass the imperial examination.

There are only more than 50 papers in the main list and the sub-list. Baizhi County spent half a day reading through it, took out a red pen and checked Su Ze's paper.

Click on the top of the case, and set the order of the top twenty.

The officials in the ceremony room unwrapped the names, and then began to check whether the transcribed papers were the same as the original papers.

Baizhi County also checked it himself. This step was for fear of copying the wrong examination number, and even more afraid that the subordinate staff would interfere with it and register the examination number as someone else's.

After confirming that it is correct, the ceremony room will bring the previously registered "Examination Registration Book" to confirm the examination number and the candidate's name.

Naturally, the handwriting must be checked again to prevent the occurrence of substitute exams for modern exams. After everything is done, the clerk in the ceremony room will copy it onto the red paper.

Chen Chaoyuan was lucky, Su Ze often discussed with him about Pingwa in the past, he wrote a good strategy and was included in the list of 50 people who passed the county examination.

Fifty people including Su Ze, even if they passed the county examination, their names and information will be counted, registered in the "Nanping County Examination Book", and sent to the government office.

In the county examination, except for the gold content of the case, the other rankings are not of great significance, but it is also a happy event to pass the county examination.

In addition to the red list, each candidate who passed the county test also had a separate list post, which was regarded as a graduation certificate for passing the county test.

There is a red qin on the list at the head of the case, that is, a strip of red paper cut into a long strip and pasted in the center of the list.

Everyone in the ceremony room looked at this red post. Su Ze is a celebrity in the county, and he is generous with a lot of property. He won the top case today, so he must be rewarded with a red envelope.

Lifang Dianshi also knew what his subordinates were thinking. Announcing the good news in the county examination is also one of the income of the ceremony, but this is not the provincial examination or Jinshi release, and there are many scholars in the county who cannot afford the reward.

Lifang Dianshi simply took out the bamboo sticks, and all the scribes under him began to draw lots. One lucky assistant got Su Ze's poster, and rushed out happily to announce the good news.

When the post was posted on the red list, firecrackers were set off in Nanping County, and Su Ze saw "Su Ze, Changning Wei Post Military Household" in the middle of the red.

[County Examination Winner, Imperial Examination Skill +1000, Lv6, 2205/3000]

Su Ze was still thinking about why answering questions in the imperial examination didn't increase experience, but it turned out that it was increased when the rankings were released.

Comfortable.

Su Ze didn't care about the position of the chief of the case at first, but it seems that the chief of the case can gain more experience?

If the government is the leader of the trial case, it will be a battle.
