Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 183 This year's scholars are very united
Chapter 245 This year's scholars are very united
Because the scientific examination is still being improved, it does not have a fixed examination place. Generally speaking, the scientific examination will be held in the official office.

At this moment, outside the Ministry of Officials, many people are scrambling to report, and then receive examination cards.

After registering and receiving the test card, candidates can find their position according to the number.

Today is the day to receive the examination cards. All the scholars who want to take the examination have queued up at the entrance of the official department.

This examination card is very important.

It is a necessary document to enter the examination room, and it is also the most important proof for taking the examination.

Because candidates are not allowed to write their names when answering questions. The names and seat numbers are made by the court and will be placed on the seats. When taking the exam, candidates only need to check the number and sit in the seat. Therefore, they must check the seats and names after reviewing the answers.

In addition, there is a sticker with the name on the answer sheet, which is called "floating ticket" or "floating note", and there are three seals at the joint between the sticker and the cover.

Candidates should remove the floating ticket and keep it for themselves, and only submit the answer sheet with the number written on it.

When the results are announced in the future, the passers will prove that they are the passers by submitting floating tickets.

In addition to the answer sheets, candidates can also receive a booklet called "Poetry Rhyme", which is a reference book when composing poems.

There are many ways to say the rhyme of Chinese characters. In order to uniformly adopt the rhyme prescribed by the government, a booklet like this is distributed as a standard.

In short, this exam is very strict. If there is any fraudulent behavior for personal gain, there is almost no need for review, and you will be convicted directly!

The twelve scholars from Qianzhou were also queuing up, and they gathered in groups, whispering.

"This is Chang'an, it really is very prosperous!"

"If I can stay here as an official, I must work hard to serve the court!"

Several people looked at the majestic buildings, their expressions began to look longing.

Not only them, but also the onlookers stood in a row in small groups, pointing at many scholars.

"This year's scholars are very united. In previous years, when scholars took part in the scientific examination, they wanted to kill each other to reduce the number of competition places. Why are these people so united this year?"

Scholars are all introverts. I heard that during the reign of Wude, there was a scholar who was very enthusiastic. He made friends as soon as he came to Chang'an, and he met dozens of friends in just a few days.

Two days before the scientific examination, the scholar enthusiastically invited dozens of scholars to the brothel to have fun, while he himself hid in the brothel to read.

The final result is obvious, he lost dozens of competitors at once, and getting a Jinshi is an easy task.

There are rumors that this scholar is Sun Fujia, the first number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty. As for whether he himself has stepped forward to refute the rumors, there is no relevant gossip yet.

There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Scholars are all arrogant, especially among a group of scholars with the same status, no one looks down on the other.

Except for the scientific examinations that were ordered suddenly, the scientific examinations are basically conducted twice a year. For the people of Chang'an, it has long been a habit to watch scholars come to the scientific examinations, and it is even lively.

But this year is particularly weird. Scholars who have never dealt with each other are now standing in a pile and forming a small group.

"Hey, you don't even know that!"

A servant from a wealthy family shook his head and said mysteriously: "Let me tell you, these are the children of wealthy families. They all want to pass the scientific examination and become officials!"

"Scientific examination to become an official! How could it be that, these aristocratic children, didn't they all enter the officialdom under the shadows? In the previous scientific examinations, it was just a matter of sending someone casually. Why are there such a big battle this year?"

Someone asked curiously.

"Hi!" The servant is obviously a person who often gossips. Hearing someone's question, he said without thinking: "The imperial court has invented movable type printing, which has driven the aristocratic family to a dead end. If you look at your grades, your family will definitely suffer."

"Tsk tsk, then this time it will be lively. In the past, poor family officials could still have a way to survive. Now that the aristocratic family is determined to make some achievements in the scientific examination, the poor family officials may have no hope this year."

"Who says it's not? Well, I really envy these people who are born at the pinnacle."

"Haha, what's the use of being envious, you have to pay a price, such as cutting your wrists and killing yourself now, and being reborn into a noble family in the next life, isn't that all right?"

"Go away, believe it or not, I will kill you right now!"

Everyone started talking, and in addition to being amazed, there was also some regret in their words.

After all, they are ordinary people, and they can't stand the children of aristocratic families who don't have to fight.

For the scientific examination, what they are most concerned about is how many poor family officials can get Jinshi and rank.

In previous years, there were no more than ten at most, and the rest were all monopolized by the children of aristocratic families. However, looking at the situation this year, the poor family members may not have a chance.

In the crowd, Chen Yi and the others listened to the discussions around them, and their expressions were a little depressed.

The topics of the people always revolve around the Shandong clan, the Guanlong nobles, and the Jiangnan Chinese. As for other places, it seems that there are no scholars.

"No wonder the teacher cares so much!" Chen Yi smiled wryly, and suddenly began to understand Li Chengqian's mood.

When starting out, Li Chengqian told them to work hard, and it is best to get a ranking.

Chen Yi and others didn't understand that although the scientific examination is very important, Qianzhou is not a backward place now. Except for the poor education, everything else is almost top-notch.

Chen Yi and the others didn't know what the gap was until they entered Chang'an.

There are only three kinds of scholars in the world among the common people.

One is the Guanlong nobles, the other is the Shandong clan, and the other is the Jiangnan Chinese.

Occasionally there will be a few poor family officials, but these poor family officials are almost all near Chang'an. It seems that after leaving Chang'an, there are no scholars.

This made Chen Yi and the others very aggrieved, especially when they first arrived in Chang'an to report to the Ministry of Officials, the officials in charge of recording were stunned, and repeatedly checked whether they had given the wrong place name.

This kind of negligence made Chen Yi and others secretly make up their minds that they must get a ranking in this imperial examination and let the world know that there is still a Qianzhou!
However, this determination seemed to be disintegrated bit by bit amidst the gossip of the onlookers.

This time, the aristocratic families came well prepared, but they were just scholars who had studied for a few years and could barely recite the Four Books and Five Classics. It was tantamount to wishful thinking to stand out in this imperial examination.

Soon, it was Chen Yi's turn.

There are several people in front of them, reporting their identities to the recorded officials.

"The Zheng family in Xingyang, recommender, Zheng Rentai!"

A young man with extraordinary bearing said proudly.

When the people around heard this, their faces suddenly showed surprise.

This time the scientific examination is a Jinshi subject, not a Mingjing subject.

The Law of Zhenguan stipulates that someone must be recommended for Jinshi.

There is no way to do this, the imperial examination system has damaged the interests of the aristocratic families, if some changes are not made, those aristocratic families may not agree to open it.

As for the recommendation, it means that the examinee will enroll under the name of a certain important person, and then when registering, just mention his name.

The prominence of the recommender's official position and social prestige will directly affect the results of the examination.
