The scope of the provincial examination for scholars is mainly the Four Books and Five Classics, but the examination content for the general examination is the writing of stereotyped essays. When it comes to the palace examination, the questions are written by the present, and most of the examinations are current affairs.

However, due to the content of the exam that is constrained by the format, most scholars take scientific exams for the sake of scientific exams, and their reading and reading become dead-headed. Most of them have no real life experience. People's radical and hard-edged, too idealistic, or... vague and incomprehensible.

Therefore, the palace examination has also become a form, short and tall.Sometimes, the topic given by the emperor has nothing to do with current affairs. In this case, praise is enough.

The emperor hand-picked the champions and ranked them according to his mood.That's why Tanhualang is not necessarily the second most talented person among all Jinshi, but the best-looking person among all Jinshi.

Just like Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, several of his sons were champion Tanhualang. At that time, the emperor said directly that this was done to reward their father.

This is also the reason why Cheng Laoshangshu mentioned his grandson's name in front of Emperor Yongjia many times before. When it was time for the palace examination, Emperor Yongjia saw Cheng Zhongyu's name and asked about it. He might choose a number one scholar or Tanhua on the spot as soon as he was in a good mood.

Of course, this is also a small benefit for the veteran. Emperor Yongjia was also aware of Cheng Shangshu's careful thinking, and he was also happy to give such a grace.

This time, because of the results of the current subject examination, there was an uproar, and Emperor Yongjia mainly appeased him. Originally, it would have been enough for Emperor Yongjia to order the Ministry of Rites to reorganize an examination. However, Emperor Yongjia listened to Empress Zhang and directly called Gongshi who have passed the general examination and passed the examination will re-examine the teaching.

Emperor Yongjia was benevolent, and the questions he gave were naturally not as good as those of the previous chief examiners. He deliberately intercepted some strange questions to confuse others. Publish an article.Such topics, not to mention the quasi-jinshi who have passed the general examination, and even the scholars of ordinary rural examinations, can write it.

It can be seen that Emperor Yongjia or the court's thoughts on this matter are mainly because Kong Xiewen's reputation for integrity is too loud, no one doubts his character, and the possibility of leaking questions and cheating is too low.As for finding gunners, not to mention who is willing to be someone else's gunners who can pass the exam, how can there be so many gunners in such a large area of ​​the exam.

Therefore, many people in the court, including Emperor Yongjia, thought it was a coincidence.

Thinking of the North and South List case that involved a lot in the previous dynasty, Emperor Yongjia even felt a sense of bringing order out of chaos.Of course, after this time, in order to appease the Southern Juzi, he will also decree to expand the number of tributes that Enke will take this time.

However, among this group of tributes, there are some people who don't even know where this sentence came from, and Dou Da doesn't know a few characters.

Emperor Yongjia was furious on the spot, ordered the factory to defend Dali Temple, and conducted a thorough investigation.

If this matter started, it was only some students and others making troubles, but now it is shaking the entire government and the public.Kong Xiewen, a cabinet scholar who is also the chief examiner, was asked to leave by the factory guard on the same day.At that time, everyone in the court was in danger, and Emperor Yongjia was usually gentle, but this time, he lost face.

……

Cheng Zhongyu was woken up forcefully by the old servant at home.

As for the recent incident in Beijing, Cheng Zhongyu automatically avoided the word scientific examination, so he didn't know.

"Uncle Liu." The headache caused by the hangover made Cheng Zhongyu struggle to get up, and the brothel woman who accompanied him last night had quickly put on her clothes and hid aside when the servants of Cheng's family broke in.

"Young Master Sun, it's too bad. Someone from the yamen wants to arrest the young master. The master wants you to go back quickly." The old servant said in a panic. Cheng Zhongyu was completely sober after saying this.

Liu Xiran was a little flustered.

In fact, what happened during this time was like a dream.

First, he was caught by that villain in Ye Mansion and missed this scientific expedition.Later, the news of the unfairness of the scientific examination came out, pulling out the radish and connecting the pit, and finally it came out that the subject of the scientific examination this time was leaked from the residence of the chief examiner, Mr. Kong Xiewen Kong.

Years ago, at the Beijing Central Poetry Conference, Liu Xiran was lucky enough to meet Mr. Kong. During the Chinese New Year, he had the cheek to visit him as a student. Of course, he always brought some gifts and money to the door, but now because of this, it is regarded as bribery. Because of the reason, he was put in prison.

……

Eunuch Liu's hair is turning gray these days.

Two days ago, the Holy One was furious. As a direct minister, Kong Xiewen had always been at odds with the factory guard.Of course, this is a common problem among scholars since ancient times. They always regard eunuchs as eunuchs, especially Mr. Kong.

So after Emperor Yongjia ordered a thorough investigation, they took advantage of the problem and arrested Kong Xiewen.

Originally, they just wanted to trouble Kong Xiewen, but who would have thought that they would actually find out the problem for them.

It is true that Master Kong is an upright official, but he has a beautiful concubine. The United Concubine and the servants in the house stole Master Kong's exam questions and sold them.

After hearing the news, the father-in-laws in charge of the East Factory got excited instantly. They wanted to force Mr. Kong to confess his guilt. Who knew that the children under him were so eager to do good work that they tortured Kong Xiewen. Kong Xiewen Originally, he was old and angry, so he died like this.

Mr. Kong is a cabinet scholar.

The eunuchs panicked in an instant. No matter what the process was, it was an indisputable fact that Kong Xiewen died in the prison of their factory guard.The civil servants in the court had originally disliked them, and they could almost predict what kind of uproar the news would cause.

Panicked, Eunuch Liu and the others decided not to do one thing, but to regard Kong Xiewen's death as suicide in fear of crime.Take what Kong Xiewen and his concubines did as ordered by Kong Xiewen.

In order to increase the credibility of the evidence, they ordered Mr. Kong's concubine and other related people to quarrel randomly, and forced a fraud case in which the concubine was greedy for money and sold test questions due to Kong Xiewen's negligence. A country, involving more than a dozen important ministers.

The township examinations in Shuntian Prefecture, or in other words, the township examinations in various places, have problems of varying degrees, and this happened to be the evidence for the factory guards.

After Emperor Yongjia got the so-called evidence, the court was shaken, because the evidence submitted by the factory guards was too appalling and involved too many aspects. The most important thing is that according to the evidence submitted by the factory guard, Kong Xiewen and others recruited all their students. If things go on like this, decades later, the entire imperial court will be completely controlled by Kong Xiewen's followers.

Emperor Yongjia felt threatened.

Whether Kong Xiewen's death is in doubt is not important to others. What is important is that under the evidence of the factory guard's telling tales, the ministers don't know whether they will be imprisoned next. Thank you, within five days, three second-rank officials were imprisoned one after another.

Cheng Zhongyu's grandfather was also one of them.

The reason is that Cheng Zhongyu participated in last year's Shuntianfu Township Examination and got the No.2 result, and one of the examiners in Shuntianfu Township Examination was once a student of Cheng Laoshangshu.The Cheng and Kong families have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, and they are friendly to each other. During the Chinese New Year this year, Cheng Zhongyu even went to visit the Confucian mansion instead of his father and grandfather.

Everything that Cheng Shangshu has done for the prosperity of the family and Cheng Zhongyu's future career has now become a shining 'evidence'.

……

Ye Changling rode a bay red horse just out of the city gate, and now Beijing is really in chaos. Ever since Master Kong Xiewen "suicide in fear of crime" in prison, the guards of the factory have gone crazy, arresting people everywhere, and even found him two days ago Ye Mansion was only because Ye Changling's cheap brother Ye Changling and Ye Changling's four unlucky apprentices participated in the Shuntian Mansion Township Examination last year.

Storm is coming.

At this moment, Ye Changling finally remembered the reactor in his village for making fertilizer.

Even though this world does not yet have an industrial foundation, Ye Changling still plans to work harder.

Ye Changling also invited Chu Zhengji to live in Zhuangzi for two days, and Chu Zhengji readily agreed.

It is impossible to say that there are no tricks in the rural examinations in various places, but generally they will not go too far.It's okay to pass the exam and wait for the exam, but this time it's really those guys who are greedy.

However, it is also reasonable for them to be greedy. The palace examination only ranks Jinshi, and is divided into three categories: first, second, third, and third. In order to show the emperor's grace, no one will fail the palace examination.Moreover, it is impossible for the Holy Majesty to read all the articles written by hundreds of new scholars.As for policy theory, if you can't write well and write some praises, the higher-ups won't care too much.

If you really pass the test, you can really enter the court and become an official.

If 'Master Kong' hadn't sold the exam papers too many times this time, and he hadn't admitted them 'uprightly' afterwards, maybe he would have been fooled.

Thinking of all the news he heard in the past two days, Ye Changling sighed in his heart.

As for the truth, at this juncture, even if the current emperor is mentally disturbed, he can only continue with his mistakes.

Nowadays, there are a lot of scholars in the world, but those who can be admitted to Jinshi are rare. After entering the imperial court, it is even more extraordinary to be able to be ranked as a cabinet bachelor.

It can only be regarded as Master Kong's old fool, dazzled by silver.

However, I heard that Mr. Kong's confused concubine has been involved with the son in charge for the past two years. It seems that the daughter she gave birth to should not be named Kong. I don't know that Mr. Kong, who has a green hat under the nine springs, knows all this. How do you feel?

Ye Changling laughed.

He looked at Chu Zhengji who was riding side by side.

"Have Layman Chu ever been to Xishan?" Ye Changling asked with a smile.

"I was lucky enough to see it." Chu Zhengji has also visited not only Xishan, but also several coal mines that are in full swing near Xi'an Mansion.

In addition to briquettes, there is also a newly built steelmaking workshop called 'steel' next to the mine.

"Ji heard that the honeycomb briquettes and 'steel' in Beijing are all made by Chang Ling?" Chu Zhengji lowered his eyelids slightly, seemingly unintentionally asking.

"Changling doesn't dare to take credit for it alone. It's not just Changling who did it alone." He was standing on the shoulders of giants, and what he knew was only theory. The data of steel mainly depended on those craftsmen in Zhuangzi slowly out of the experiment.

Chu Zhengji smiled but said nothing.

"Well, when you get to Zhuangzi, you should take a good look at those gadgets of Chang Ling." Chang Ling said, already able to see the outline of Zhuangzi.

At this moment, there was a shocking explosion. Ye Changling's bay red horse had long been used to the noise from time to time, and was very calm. However, Chu Zhengji and Liufeng's horse were startled, and the Taoist Liufeng was instantly thrown off by the naughty horse. Turning over, Chu Zhengji gathered the reins, although he was not overturned and dismounted, it took him a while to calm down.

However, Ye Changling was already worried and rushed over on his horse.
