"Why does this exam of the Li family feel like a liberal arts system in the imperial court?" An Eastern Palace official stood there and watched for a while, feeling a little sign.
If you talk about the recruitment of the Li family before, it is said that it is recruited from all walks of life, but today's exam here is only for scholars. Readers who have passed the preliminary examination of the Li family's interview can get an admission ticket to enter the exam.
Zhao Zhen, who had obtained the qualification for the exam, took the admission ticket and went there to register, and then asked in detail about the process of the exam, and immediately came back to report to Cheng Qian.
"What's the test?" Cheng Qian asked Zhao Zhen. Although this was just an exam for the Li family, Cheng Qian did not take it lightly. He has studied with Li Chao for a long time and knows Li Chao's personality very well. Li Chao likes to toss and innovate, and often uses his whimsical ideas in daily life.
These seemingly small moves, sometimes changed and changed to the court, can become a new policy implemented in the world. The first imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty was the chief examiner of Li Chao. Later, it was Li Chaojin who opened the martial arts examination of the Tang Dynasty.
Now that Li Chao is taking this exam at home, Cheng Qian feels that it must not be simple.
"Childe, I've asked, the process of the exam is very clear. You will register here, verify your identity, and then enter the venue. You have to search your body when you enter the venue, and it is forbidden to bring it, and you are not even allowed to bring pen, ink and paper, and there are preparations inside. ”
Cheng Qian nodded, it was so strict, it seemed that the Li family attached great importance to this exam.
The imperial court's liberal arts examinations were not so rigorous.
"Call the Li family steward here, I want to go and see this exam."
Originally, Cheng Qian didn't plan to reveal his identity, but now he was very interested in this exam, and he wanted to see what the difference between the Li family's exam and the imperial court's liberal arts examination was.
In other words, he wanted to know if the Li family's examination would be as he imagined, more 'smart' than the imperial court's liberal arts examination.
Cheng Qian's subordinate officials found the Li family steward and revealed his identity.
Hearing that the other party was actually a subordinate official of the East Palace, the steward of the Li family was naturally a little surprised.
"Don't make a noise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, His Highness asked me to summon you over to talk."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the son-in-law of the Li family, and he often visits the door of the Li family, and most of the Li family's stewards have seen the prince. The steward did not suspect any deceit, so he nodded and followed.
When I got here, I saw that the young man in gorgeous clothes was His Royal Highness the Prince. Just as he was about to salute, the person from the East Palace next to him grabbed him, "You don't need to salute here, just answer the prince's questions truthfully." ”
"Just call me Li Gongzi." Cheng Qian was very kind to the steward.
The steward opened his mouth, and finally called Li Gongzi, very restrained.
"This steward, I came out to play today, and when I saw your exam here, I was very curious and a little interested. I don't know if you can also give me an admission ticket, I also want to take the exam of the Li family. ”
"This ........." management was surprised, and some did not know how to answer. This exam is to recruit and select the scholars of the Li family's construction territory, and the prince is taking the exam.
"Can't you? Why don't I go to the house first, ask my wife, and get her permission to come first. ”
The steward thought about it, the prince went to the house, as long as he told his wife, his wife would definitely agree, and it was just a trivial matter, so why bother with it.
"Childe, of course you don't have to, if Childe wants to go in and have a look, I will arrange it for Childe. It's just that it's really nothing to do, and it may delay Childe's time. ”
"Fine." Cheng Qian waved his hand.
The steward turned and stepped back.
Cheng Qian stopped him, "Only you know my identity here, don't tell others again, just write my name as Li Chengzong on the admission ticket given to me." ”
The steward secretly glanced at the prince, he was quite tall, but he could tell his age at a glance, less than ten years old. At this age, how can you take the Li family's exam. But now, since the prince wants to play, he can only let him.
In a moment, the steward personally filled out an admission ticket for the prince.
Li Chengqian was playing with the piece of paper, and there was even a portrait of him on it, and the Li family really had a lot of talents. "Did you get this admission ticket by yourself?"
The steward replied honestly, "Back to Gongzi, the family is relatively strict with the management of this exam, and I am only responsible for the verification of the admission ticket outside, and there is another person who issues the certificate." I don't have the ability to get this admission ticket for the son, after reporting to the big housekeeper, he personally intervened, please forgive the little courage, just told the big housekeeper the identity of the son. ”
Cheng Qian was not unhappy when he heard this, but laughed.
"That's pretty much it, I thought you could get this unruly admission ticket alone. If that's the case, I'm a little disappointed that I'm still taking this exam. Forget it, you also do things according to the rules of the Li family. It doesn't matter if the big housekeeper knows, it doesn't affect me to go in for the exam. ”
The stricter the rules of the Li family's exam, the more interesting Cheng Qian found it interesting.
Sure enough, as he expected, the Li family did not do things randomly, even if it was just a recruitment exam, it was very strict and complicated.
took the admission ticket and came to the door, and someone took it there to carefully check his identity and confirm that it was correct, and then let him in.
A few people at the door were obviously suspicious of Li Chengzong, a young scholar who didn't talk like a scholar, and confirmed it seriously several times, and finally one person went up to the steward with the admission ticket to ask for instructions, and the steward was naturally allowed to go.
After checking the admission ticket, I entered it, and there is still a pass.
Everyone had to strip naked to check for entrainment, and to prevent writing on their arms and legs. Although Li Chengqian felt that those who came to the exam might not know what they were going to take, the Li family's rules were so strict.
took off his clothes, there was a bath inside, rinsed and bathed in it, and then the Li family provided a new cloth robe inside and outside to change into.
Coming out of the inside, all the candidates have come out of almost the same mold, uniform cloth clothes, uniform cloth towels, cloth belts, cloth shoes.
Everyone was given a basket.
There are paper, ink, pens, and pens in it, as well as steamed buns and boiling water.
Further inside, there is a lottery.
Everyone stepped forward, and a number was automatically drawn there, and when they got the number, they went to the position of that number and sat down after entering the examination room.
On the thirty-eighth, Cheng Qian looked at the number in his hand and felt more and more interesting. The Li family always does things so peculiarly.
Even the seat number is so random, this is not a chance to cheat at all. No one knows where they sit in advance and how to cheat, and even the people of the Li family don't know where the candidates are doing in advance, and they are all randomly drawn on the spot.
When he entered the big examination room, he found that it was even stricter than he thought, it was actually a small room, all separated on three sides, leaving only one side connected to the aisle, and each candidate was far away from each other, and he couldn't see the other party's people at all.
After the person enters, there is an invigilator over there and locks the small door, which can't get out at all, the hollow door can penetrate the light, but it can't get out unless the test is over.
Cheng Qian sat down with peace of mind and found that this room was not too small, and there was a person lying on the table.
He found a toilet bowl under the table, even a simple small stove, and charcoal.
This is the meaning of eating, drinking, and Lazar have to be here, how long will the Li family's exam take?
Cheng Qian sat there, looking at and studying this small room, and felt that the imperial court's liberal arts examination also needed such a room. The imperial examination of the imperial court is not so strict, a group of candidates sit together for the exam, it is okay to talk to each other, and even have the opportunity to cheat and plagiarize each other.
The Li family's examination method, first of all, the admission ticket is passed, which eliminates the possibility of substitute examinations. In fact, the change of clothes prevents the possibility of entrainment. And this small room is to prevent plagiarism and fraud.
After a while, the noise outside became louder, and all the candidates had already entered the venue.
"Silence!"
A neutral voice sounded, and the candidates no longer climbed blindly with the next door through the number gate.
The Zhongqi man began to read out the rules of the examination room aloud, and there were many of them.
While listening, Cheng Qian wrote down these rules with a stroke of his pen, and he felt that these rules could be used in the imperial examination of the imperial court, and they were all very good rules.
The Li family's exam is divided into three days.
Each exam is one day, and there are three exams a day, so in fact this exam is a total of nine. In the past three days, they are not allowed to leave the venue halfway, or even go out of the number room, eating, drinking, and Lasa all have to be in this small room, when it is cold, there are clothes and quilts, as well as stoves, charcoal, etc., when they are hungry, they can eat hot steamed buns, etc., they can also cook some noodles and hot soup to drink, and even prepare kettles and tea for the candidates.
Of course, if you want to pull and scatter, you can only stay inside.
You can only leave after the exam, and whoever wants to ask to leave halfway is to give up your qualification for the exam.
The Li family also announced that after each exam, after the papers were collected, the Li family would send someone to paste the name column on their papers first, and then find a special copyist to copy all their papers.
After the transcription is completed, the paper is handed over to the grader for review, and the final score is awarded.
After scoring, the name is finally dismantled, and after the results of the nine examinations are summarized, the comprehensive score is used to judge the merits and disadvantages, and the best are recorded.
Because there are more candidates this time, even if everyone's grades are very good, the Li family can only take one out of ten. In other words, the final admission quota is only one-tenth, which is a fixed admission amount, and no matter how good the test is, if it is not within one-tenth, it will also be unsuccessful.
Cheng Qian skillfully rotated a brush between his fingers, and the more he listened, the more interesting he felt.
The Li family's set is really good. One pass is one ring, which is quite strict, and at the same time maximizes the fairness of the candidates.
It is strictly forbidden to cheat, obfuscate names, transcribe, and only look at the real skills.
No matter what the background is, the fame, compared to the liberal arts examination of the imperial court's recommendation system, this exam of the Li family is really not about the background, but only the best are recruited.
Cheng Qian felt that his trip was really not in vain.
