"Huh? What is it?" Li Wangyou was at a loss, and then suddenly said: "You mean the vocational training before taking up the job?"

"Bingo, congratulations, you answered correctly!"

712 Bragging and Not Paying Taxes

Before Li Wangyou could complete the plan for building the school, he was summoned into Chang'an City by the palace servants sent by Li Er.

For no other reason, the spring of the third year of Zhenguan began.

Originally, things like the Chunwei scientific examination had nothing to do with Li Wangyou.But even though he had been stingy at the beginning, he showed off the imperial examination system in front of Li Er, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

What about copying papers with obfuscated names, closing the examination room, searching and entraining, prohibiting contact with the outside world during the period when the examiner and assistants are marking the papers, etc., but Li Er and Fang Xuanling, the big bosses, almost regarded his words as golden rules .

No way, who told that in the early Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was not a very rigorous thing?

Because the test papers are not transcribed and names are not blurred, candidates can even write who my father is on the test papers, which is fair enough.

As for the internal ranking of the votes, there are countless things.

The most famous in history is Wang Wei, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty. When Wang Wei participated in the imperial examination and won the first place, he relied on the merit of submitting papers.

Therefore, in the early Tang Dynasty, scientific examinations were actually about connections and relationships.

As long as the relationship is strong, there is no Jinshi who cannot pass the exam.

Among them, the biggest beneficiaries are those aristocratic families, so Li Er really hates this.

So when Li Wangyou and Li Er shared the methods to prevent cheating in the imperial examinations, Li Er was overjoyed. At that time, he ordered Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to copy them one by one. Extend the hand of the imperial examination system.

Now that the spring is starting, Li Er is still not at ease, so he ordered the eunuch to recall Li Wangyou back to Chang'an City, and asked him to accompany him to inspect the examination room.

Originally, for the Jinshi and Mingjing examinations in the Tang Dynasty, the examination room was in the square in front of the Ministry of Rites. Rows of seats were set up one after another, and candidates sat in the open air to take the examination. Not on torture.

Naturally, there is no strict secrecy in this kind of examination room environment.

After Li Wangyou's remarks, the examination room of Chunwei this year has been changed, and the Ministry of Rites has specially set aside a courtyard of Nuoda for scientific examinations.

Around the examination room, under Li Er's order, Cheng Yaojin directly dispatched the Jinwu Guards to surround the examination room.

Outside the examination room, this year's Jinshi candidates who are preparing to take the scientific examination have gathered in front of the examination room, waiting for the opening of the examination room.

Many items in the imperial examination, such as Mingfa, Mingshu, Mingzi, etc., are not valued by people. Even if they pass the exam, they are just a small official appointed by the court.

The scholar department was abolished because it was too difficult.The earliest term of scholar is worthy, but it is a person with outstanding talents, which is not comparable to the students who passed the boy's test in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty's scientific examinations paid special attention to the examinations of Jinshi and Mingjing.Jinshi examination time policy and poems, essays, Mingjing examination time policy and posting, Moyi.

However, Li Wangyou knew that many prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty were born as Jinshi, so the Jinshi examination was the most valued by the world.

The Jinshi examination is naturally not the stereotyped essays of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but the most important poems.

Therefore, after reading the two poems of Li Taibai plagiarized by Li Wangyou, Yu Shinan concluded that he could pass the Chunwei exam.

Mingjing subject, the scriptures and ink meanings in the test, in layman's terms, is to fill in the blanks and write silently, which is relatively easy.

After all, for Tie Jing and Mo Yi, as long as you are familiar with the scriptures and annotations, you can pass the test, but you need to have a certain talent for poetry.

Therefore, it is very difficult to get a Jinshi. There is also a saying in the Tang Dynasty, which is called "Thirty old Mingjing, fifty young Jinshi".It means that at the age of 30, one is already considered old when taking the Zhongming Jingke, but at the age of 50, one is considered very young when one is admitted to Jinshi, which shows that Jinshi is rare.

The admission rate of the Jinshi department is also the lowest, with an average of about [-] candidates per list, and the proportion of Jinshi candidates is only one in sixty.

At this time, more than 1000 candidates had gathered outside the examination room, which was very spectacular.

Li Er was dressed in casual clothes, and stood outside the crowd with Li Wangyou, and beside them were Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who were also in casual clothes.

Li Er looked at these more than a thousand candidates and was very satisfied.

"Ziyou, look at these examinees, this is the foundation of my Tang Dynasty! I don't know how many of them can jump the dragon gate, get a Jinshi and serve for the court at this age."

Li Wangyou flattered him knowingly: "Congratulations Uncle, the heroes of this world are all in Uncle's trap!"

"Haha, you bastard! I said this at the beginning, but later I found out that it was not true. But with Zi Youjin's good plan to improve the imperial examination, I can say this again now!" Li Er was very proud.

Fang Xuanling who was at the side suddenly smiled at Li Er: "Your Majesty, speaking of this scientific examination, there was something interesting about Ziyou a few days ago."

"Oh? What's interesting? Fang Gong, come and listen."

Fang Xuanling twisted his beard and said with a smile: "I also heard from my dog ​​that Ziyou was drinking in a restaurant and met a few candidates who participated in this year's spring. Among them, two candidates wanted to worship Ziyou as a teacher, but Ziyou let him go. They go to the mansion to learn from their teachers after they pass the Jinshi degree. Your Majesty, don't you think that Ziyou is trying to embarrass others?"

Du Ruhui also interjected: "Haha, that's right, the old man has heard about it. It is said that Ziyou also said with certainty that the two examinees will surely be promoted this year, but I don't know why Ziyou has such confidence? Old man I heard that the two candidates are not yet in their thirties, so it would be fine if they were Mingjing subjects, but this Jinshi course may not be easy."

Li Er became interested when he heard the words, and asked Li Wangyou: "Oh? Is this really the case? Ziyou, you kid is too wicked. You don't want to accept those two as disciples, and you mean it. Why make things difficult for them? Haha, You only accepted them as disciples when you had to get a Jinshi degree, so it’s really embarrassing for those two people.”

Li Wangyou laughed secretly, joking, wouldn't it be funny if the two future prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty failed the Jinshi examination?

However, the admission rate of this Jinshi department is too low after all, Li Wangyou dare not fully guarantee that Liu Rengui and Shangguanyi will definitely pass the exam this year.

After all, he only knew that these two had passed the Jinshi examination in history, but who knows what year they passed the examination?

Regarding the teasing of Li Er, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, Li Wangyou could only pretend to be mysterious: "Hey, uncle, Fang Gong, Du Gong, let's wait and see."

Li Er said: "I really don't believe it, Ziyou, you can just choose two candidates in the restaurant, and you will be able to win the Jinshi. Tell me, what are the names of those two people, and when the list comes out this year, I will give you a chance." Let’s see how it turns out.”

"Those two people, named Shangguanyi and Liu Rengui, are both candidates of Henan Province. Hehe, uncle, it's one of these two people who can't be said to be the champion of this year." Li Wangyou said.

The number one scholar is the number one scholar, but there is no such thing as a number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty.

The word "Zhuangyuan" was changed to "Zhuangyuan" later because people felt that "Zhuangtou" was too indecent.

Li Wangyou was actually just talking casually, anyway, Shangguanyi and Liu Rengui must have real talents.As for those who won the exam, whether they are the champions or not, it doesn't matter, anyway, they brag and don't pay taxes.

But what he said, Li Er took it seriously...

713 Disgraceful

Outside the Ministry of Rituals, the three-way drum sounded, and the examination hall was opened. Candidates waiting in the examination hall began to line up one by one, preparing to enter.

However, when entering the arena, some unhappiness happened again. The reason was that the Jinwu Guards guarding the examination hall wanted to search the bodies of those candidates to check whether there were any cheat sheets.

When the news spread, the entrance of the examination institute of the Ministry of Rites suddenly became a mess.

This year's Chunwei was so different from previous years that these candidates were caught off guard.

In particular, when he entered the examination institute, he was actually searched by soldiers of the imperial army, which made everyone dissatisfied.

This kind of thing is unprecedented.

"It's an insult to the gentleman, it's really an insult to the gentleman! We are all candidates for the Chunwei, why do you let these Qiuba search us?"
