Chapter 592: The Palace Examination (II)
The temple examination is still ongoing.
In the past, candidates, no matter how complicated or simple, there were bound to be people who were struggling to write at the beginning, and they didn't know what he was writing, anyway, they had to maintain the momentum first, but on the occasion of the palace examination, no one rushed to write, even if there was no one who wrote the draft.
It stands to reason that when it comes to the palace examination, every candidate should be very relaxed, after all, the palace examination does not involve the issue of admission rate, all candidates have completed the palace examination, they are all jinshi, the difference is the problem of the first class, the second class and the third class, those who have a relationship in the court, or have a solid family background, no matter how many Jinshi they take, they will not worry about being an official in the future, those poor students, even if they are good in the exam, are likely to still be idle in the court in the future.
In the final analysis, this is still a society built by relationships and human feelings, and if you want to break this prejudice of gateway and origin, you can only change a society, which is very difficult under a big historical trend, especially in the land of China, this is even more difficult.
Ji Ning himself is not from a poor family, on the contrary, he is still from a wealthy family, but now no one admits that he is a child of a wealthy family, but the master behind him is Shen Kang, a scholar with the title of university, just this way is enough to make people envious, jealous and hateful, in the eyes of many people, this is also the reason why Ji Ning chose to go to the Temple of Literature instead of the imperial court, because Ji Ning has such a powerful backer as Shen Kang behind him.
After the emperor left, Ji Ning calculated the time, and it was almost over, and he felt that there was no need to stay in the palace for too long.
This kind of examination environment is still very stressful, in order to prepare for the imperial examination, he has been working hard since he came to this world, and today's palace examination is also the last stop of his imperial examination road, he will not think about the examination of the Ji Ji Shi and the bachelor later, what he has to do now is to complete the article of his palace examination first, so that his imperial examination road can be completely drawn.
He picked up his pen and prepared to start writing his article.
He even thought about the main idea of the article, since in the policy, it is based on filial piety and etiquette, and he has to write about the ancient sages, and he can't think of which characters to write, so he might as well write a few more people, and the model imitated by Ji Ning is the content of "Twenty-four Filial Piety", and he displays a few more people, so as to set up a model of filial piety and etiquette for the people of the Great Yong Dynasty.
At this time, although the people of the Great Yong Dynasty have always admired filial piety, and for those who have filial piety, they will also write and pass on, but there is a lack of systematic collation, and there are no articles and allusions like "Twenty-four Filial Piety" that can be called a systematic discussion of filial piety, so that the people lack an effective filial piety learning template.
Ji Ning himself opened the academy, and he also admired writing some small stories in the past in Sanwei Academy, so that students could learn the knowledge in it, and then learn some words and life insights from it, so as to enhance the candidates' comprehension ability, so as not to make students become nerds.
This is more meaningful than having students study Confucian classics such as the Analects and Mencius directly.
This time, Ji Ning is ready to set up a model for the people of the Dayong Dynasty in the examination papers of the palace examination, and his article, the point of entry is here, he will write more than a dozen allusions about filial piety, to discuss the extent of pure filial piety, not necessarily just the simple respect for the elders discussed by ordinary people, but to have a deeper understanding and practice of filial piety like these ancients.
……
……
With the rest of the candidates still not writing, Ji Ning has already begun to write articles.
At this time, in front of the Fengtian Palace, the main venue of the palace test, there were more than a dozen palace examination paper readers sent by the imperial court, these paper readers, some of them came from Shangshu Province, and more people were from the six departments of Jiuqing Yamen, these people were generally prestigious in the court, and several of them were recommended by King Chong directly to the list of Longcheng, and these people who were recommended were basically of no status, but they were deeply appreciated by King Chong but did not know each other and refused to submit, King Chong wrote these people into the list to make the emperor suspect that these people were colluded with him King Chong, trying to harm these people.
Among all the palace examination officials present, the highest status was Zhang Junming, the left servant of Shangshu Province, who was the left minister of the central government and respected his status.
The person beside him is Shangshu Ling Li Dan, who has always admired him.
Although Li Dan is Shang Shuling, but in the Dayong Dynasty, Shang Shuling is only an official of the third grade, and his status in the court is only the same as that of the six squires, Li Dan very much hopes that he can be promoted to the subordinate squire or vacant as the six squires in the future, so he has been following Zhang Junming's relationship.
Zhang Junming was in his sixties, with a goatee, and his beard and head were already a little white, and he was also a model among the old ministers in the court, and won the trust of Emperor Zhao Kangzheng.
"Young Master Zhang, do you think that among so many candidates present, who is most likely to win the top prize? The lower officials heard that the righteous son of Old Man Ma can be among the candidates this time! "Li Dan is a typical example of malicious flattery in the court, and his own Shangshu Ling does not involve real power, neither real power, nor a practical person, but seems to be a minister, the emperor admires Li Dan a lot, mainly because Li Dan has a close relationship with Uncle Li, and the two are distant relatives.
Li Dan has always regarded himself as a person from Li Guifei's faction, but he is not only flattering to Li Guifei and Uncle Li, but he is almost everyone who has a status in the court, so that everyone thinks that this Li Dan is actually just a courtier.
Zhang Junming glanced at him coldly and said, "There are so many candidates present, how does the old man know who can win the championship?" Don't you want to say that you are ready to look at Grandpa Ma's righteous son differently? ”
"Xia Guan didn't mean that!" Li Dan said with a smile, "The examination papers of this palace examination are also sealed, and I can't see who is who, how can I easily make a mistake?" ”
Zhang Junming turned his head sideways, his eyes looked at the person closest to the front of the Fengtian Palace, even in the middle of the day, there was a faint purple aura around this person.
Zhang Junming said: "The old man thinks that this son is a person who can do something!" There were so many tributes present, but he was the only one who began to write, and instead of writing the essay on scratch paper, he wrote the essay directly on the test paper. This person can be in the first list in the examination, it seems that this time the champion, he is the only one! ”
Li Dan smiled and raised his head slightly, only then did he see Ji Ning at the bottom of the steps, he said, "What the young master said is reasonable", but he was muttering in his heart: "Who is this?" I heard that the Huiyuan of this exam is indisputable.,I think this kid's article is well written.,It's not bad to learn.。 But this kind of person, most of them are also arrogant, looking at his appearance is annoying, I don't want anyone to win the champion, who is not qualified! ”
