One Shi Dengjia family, nine clans are glorious and new. -------Tang Dynasty. Wang Jian's poem "Sending Xue Man Yingju".

It is said that Yin Mo is persuaded to engage in learning, and the imperial examination plan is placed in front of Chen Long, and the grand event of the first scientific examination in Lingling is about to appear.

The imperial examination system was originally a system for selecting officials through examinations in ancient times, which began to prevail from the Sui and Tang dynasties until the last Jinshi examination was held in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and after more than 1,300 years, it became the world's longest continuous method of selecting talents. Today, although the scale of Lingling's scientific expedition is still small, it undoubtedly has the rudiments of a large-scale scientific expedition system.

In the Han Dynasty at that time, the common method of recommending talents was the inspection system and the requisition system, the former was recommended by local governments at all levels to have talents with both ability and political integrity; Those elected by the state are called Xiucai, and those elected by the county are called filial piety. Later, Chen Qun founded Jiupin Zhongzheng, which was divided into Jiupin Hi-K by specific officials and assessed civil talents according to their background and morality. The Jiupin Zhongzheng system is an improvement of the probation system, mainly by changing the probation person from the local magistrate to the appointed official to be responsible for the election.

However, at that time, the power of the clan was strong, and it often affected the evaluation of talents by the central officials, and later even the criteria were limited to family backgrounds. As a result, the phenomenon of "no poor family in the upper grade and no scholar in the lower grade" has been created. It not only blocked the collection of materials from the people, but also allowed the family to control the materials of the imperial court. There are countless hairpins in the court, and the princes of the court are all from the family members, who not only control the government and government, but also block the upward channel.

Yin Mo originally only considered the liberal arts exam, and Chen Long joined the martial arts department. Gathering a group of civil officials and military generals, Chen Long designated the chief examiner of the liberal arts examination as Chen Qun, and the deputy examiners as Yin Mo and Xu Jing; The chief examiner of the martial arts department is Chen Long, and the deputy examiners are Huang Gai and Zhao Yun. The venue for the liberal arts examinations was set up in the Literature Garden, which was originally planned to be established at Lingling University; The location of the martial arts examination was set up in an open space by the Xiangshui River.

After two months of preparation, the advertisements for Lingling's upcoming imperial examinations and Lingling University's enrollment went all the way to Nanyang and Yingchuan, where everyone from all over the world gathered. People showed great enthusiasm for this new thing, after all, this imperial examination allowed the poor family and the common people to participate together, and it was no longer the patent of the family. However, after all, the educational resources are different, and after all, the children of the family have been taught by famous teachers since childhood, and those who want to become famous are still flocking to them.

Chen Long also set up positions corresponding to the examinations of various civil and military subjects, with a total of 30 people enrolled in the liberal arts and 60 people in the martial arts. The corresponding departments include internal affairs, logistics, management, commerce, economy, culture, education, medicine, design, military affairs, etc., and the results of the imperial examination are ranked according to the list, and they directly become officials at all levels of each department.

The test questions are divided into three sets, in addition to the unified test questions for liberal arts, those with medical expertise are allowed to directly test the medical test questions, and the martial arts test questions are the art of war assessment. The examiners were busy for several days, and finally finished the test papers and put them in front of Chen Long. Medical and martial arts test questions are just that, but there are a lot of liberal arts test questions, and Chen Longtou is big, Chen Long simply has ingenuity, let Chen Qun only draft the topic, and take the material in the form of a paper.

The date of the imperial examination is approaching, and at the passenger terminal in Lingling, there are more and more talents in literary costumes and armed men, all of whom are rushing to the scientific examination. Chen Long remembered the world's talents, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile all day long, and while he was happy, he did not forget to ask the examiners to keep the test questions strictly confidential, and if there was any leakage, he would be severely punished.

The day before the exam, the registration deadline, Yin Moxing Chongchong put the list in front of Chen Long and said: "My lord, there are 656 people in the liberal arts, 928 in the martial arts, and 26 in the medical department. It is really surprising that the first imperial examination had such a grand occasion. ”

When Chen Longxi picked up the list of liberal arts and looked at it, the light brain in his brain was already in place, and he would never miss any celebrity of the Three Kingdoms. The list is neatly arranged according to the strokes of the surname, and the first name in the liberal arts is Ding Yi and Ding Zhengli.

Chen Long was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect that the first name was a celebrity of the Three Kingdoms. In his head, he had already described the life deeds of Ding Yi in the official history, and Chen Long looked at it and groaned slightly. Ding Yi's father, Ding Chong, turned out to be close friends with Cao Cao, thinking of Cao Cao's foresight, could it be that there are also many spies among these candidates?

In the first imperial examination, there was no background screening, but Chen Long groaned because of Ding Yi's name. Finally, he circled Ding Yi's name with a red pen and instructed Yin Modao: "Anyone whose name I use a red pen to circle will be taken to the master's mother's side for filing in a while for background investigation or preparatory monitoring." ”

Most of the names that followed were unfamiliar names, and all those who were found in Chen Longguang's mind to have low moral character recorded in history, or who Chen Long had doubts, were circled in red. Suddenly, an incomparably familiar name jumped into his eyes, Chen Long was overjoyed, chopped off his feet, and completely forgot that Yin Mo was still by his side.

Yin Mo looked at the list curiously, and saw that the lord had picked a red tick under a name, and the name on the red tick was Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi. Yin Mo was thinking about what the red tick meant, and Chen Longxi's voice came: "I draw the red tick, be sure to choose it." Yin Mo hurriedly agreed, thinking that the person who painted the red hook was not a relative of the lord?

Xu Shu's real name is Xu Fu, and he was born as a son of a poor family. In his early years, he avenged others, changed his name to Xu Shu after being rescued, studied in the Confucian house, and eventually became a great tool, and became a mentor and friend with Sima Hui. Xu Shu is both civil and military, his strategy is unparalleled, and his friends are all famous figures, but this time he came to participate in the Lingling Imperial Examination, can he not make Chen Long overjoyed? Not to mention that when Zhuge Kongming comes out of the mountain, I'm afraid Xu Shu will need to go out to get it.

The list of liberal arts was finally read, Yin Mo saw that he drew four red circles and three red hooks, and when he looked carefully, the red circles were drawn Ding Yi Ding Zhengli, Xiang Lang Xiang Juda, Buqi Buzishan, Li Ru and Li Wenyou. The red hooks are Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, Xue Zong, Xue Jingwen, Lu Su and Lu Zijing.

Chen Long had already been crazy, but he didn't expect Lu Zijing to come too, I don't know if their family's big grain pile is still there? As soon as Lu Su came, when Zhou Yu raised his troops, I was afraid that he could only go hungry.

The list of martial arts is longer, and Chen Long also draws while watching, and finally handed it over to Yin Mo. When Yin Mo looked at it, he saw a total of five people drawn in red circles, namely Liu Xun, Liu Zitai, Hu Zhen, Hu Wencai, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Junli, Cai Xun, Cai Wangxun, Zhang Nan, Zhang Yanbei. There is only one person with a red hook, and there is a famous name written on the red hook: Zhang He Zhang Junyi.
