The vision of the red building is farther

Emperor Zhenghe is a very assertive emperor, and he upholds the principle of no doubt in employing people, which makes Jia Zhen and others a lot easier. At least they don't need to spend too much talking and arguing with the ministers, and everything is finally on the way. on track.With Jia Zhen and the Chu family reluctant to give up, Jia Hua and Su Ruo still got married on the auspicious day they chose. Jia Lian and Jia Mao, who had rushed back from Jinling to attend the two wedding banquets, rushed back to Jinling again to prepare for the imperial examination. take an exam.

Because of Prince Li, Jia Zhen felt relieved about Enke, and did not focus on Enke. He and Hu Ji are still busy with laying off redundant staff, streamlining military officer positions and dispatching troops.After all, when they preside over Chunwei, they have to wait for the next February.Jia Mao was beyond Jia Zhen's expectation and performed extremely well. He thought he could only pass the county and government examinations and get the title of Tongsheng.Jia Zhen has read the article written by Jia Maomo, and it is not bad in terms of the level of a scholar. But no matter what, Jia Mao performed very well this time.However, Jia Mao still has the temper of a noble son after all, and he plans to end up with Jia Lian and try Qiu Wei.

Jia Zhen thought it would be good to grind her heart out like this, so she agreed.But Jia Jing and the others were much more anxious than him as a father. These days, Jia Zhen has observed Jia Zhu carefully and looked at Jia Zhu's homework. Jane couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to him for having such an incomprehensible father. "Brother Zhen, what's the homework?" Jia Zhu now has a reputation as a scholar. He didn't participate in Enke this time. On the one hand, it was because of poor health, and on the other hand, it was true that he was not ready enough.He originally thought that he could only study hard behind closed doors, or go out to make friends, but he did not expect that Jia Zhen, the patriarch, would call him over. He tried to figure out Jia Zhen's psychology. How about it, it would be of great benefit to him to have a good relationship with the patriarch, not to mention that Brother Zhen is still the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and according to Brother Zhen's age, he is afraid that he will be promoted.

"The homework is good, but it's just lacking some enthusiasm. Although these ideas are good, they are a little unrealistic, but they are not bad. The poems are too redundant, the rhetoric is gorgeous, and some of them are not realistic." Jia Zhen believes that Jia Zhu is a smart person Actually, during the time of Emperor Wenyuan, Emperor Wenyuan himself preferred those gorgeous rhetoric. What is good at the top must be bad at the bottom. Just according to the preference of Emperor Zhenghe and the examiners appointed by the King of Lijun, he knew that the direction of the wind had changed, besides Although this year's exam questions have not yet been decided, they have also changed a lot from previous years.After all, Li Jijiu still couldn't beat Li Junwang. "Brother understands." Jia Zhu is a smart person, and he knows everything. It seems that his direction is about to change.

"I'm just teaching you your homework. I've also heard about your family's affairs. It's hard for you. However, suppressing brothers is not a real skill. The real skill is to convince them. But there are many, you have to play hard and soft, understand?" Jia Zhen smiled slightly and said, if Jia Zhu's performance can satisfy him, he doesn't mind teaching Jia Zhu more. "Brother Zhen is asking questions to test my younger brother?" Jia Zhu appears mature and sophisticated due to her many family affairs, but she is also a bit paranoid. Such a person can be a good official, but he may also become a good official. It's not a good thing for a cruel official who doesn't recognize his relatives.

"Think about it yourself, if you think about it thoroughly, your homework can be improved." Jia Zhen patted Jia Zhu on the shoulder and couldn't help laughing. "My brother understands." Jia Zhu nodded. This is probably the trial of Big Brother Zhen. It seems that Big Brother Zhen cares about the ability to handle common affairs. He just heard what Big Brother Zhen taught him from Cousin Hu. , Should he also start to practice and practice.

This time the autumn was over, and Jia Zhen soon got the news that Jia Mao and Jia Lian had failed. He felt that it was natural, how many people could have such a high talent for reading like Jia Lian, but the next time he came up.On the contrary, Jia Lian and Jia Mao's uncle and nephew were uncomfortable, and even Jia Amnesty didn't say a word about Jia Lian. It's not easy to take the exam, and there are very few people at this age in the capital who can win the exam. These years, in the Yuan family With the help of Jia Hu and Jia Lian, Jia She is much better than before. Anyway, his sons are very motivated, and his daughters are also very filial. Friends of Jinshi antiques are together, and occasionally listen to the ridiculous things about the second family, so it can be said that he is a wealthy idler.

Over the past few years, the young nephews of the Jia family have been able to take charge of their own affairs and be self-reliant. Many of them have achieved fame in studies, or joined the army, and are very ambitious. The money in the family has gradually accumulated. Zhen didn't leave the money there in vain, bought a lot of sacrificial fields and shops, gave porridge to charity every year, and refurbished the school dormitory. Of course, now he entrusts these young nephews to take care of these affairs, and he only takes care of them. In short, as for their performance, they will naturally be supervised and reported.This year's ancestor worship is more grand and lively than in previous years. Looking at the current state of the clan, Jia Zhen couldn't help but feel a little proud and a little emotional, but he still didn't forget to tell everyone in the clan to keep a low profile and obey the rules. National laws and family rules should not be carried away with pride.Jia Zhen has always had a lot of prestige in the clan, and the clansmen dared not disobey his words, and hurriedly accepted them, and dared not disobey them.

Just after the end of this year, the Ministry of Rites began to get busy with Chun Wei. This time the chief examiner was the Prince of Li County, Jia Zhen and Li Jijiu were both examiners, and there were fellow examiners and other officials.But the more important thing is that this time Jinshi no longer scientifically examines the scriptures, ink meanings, and poems, but instead changes to the scriptures, theories, and strategies to select scholars. , I prefer Legalists and Mohists, and try my best to overcome all opinions. The content of the three exams is still the Confucian classics in the first test, the second test is the understanding of Legalism and Mohism, and the third test is The pros and cons of the current national policy, candidates can choose what they are good at to write, there is no regulation.Li Jijiu was actually very dissatisfied with the subject of this Enke. Confucianism is the most respected of all schools of thought, and the other ones are just three religions and nine streams. The number of words in the answers to the three exams required brevity, and there was a burst of blood, without asking for words, which was simply unheard of and unseen.

"I'm afraid Li Jijiu is tired of looking at me, my lord, and you, my lord servant." Li Junwang looked at Li Jijiu who left with a flick of his sleeves, and smiled at Jia Zhen. "This is unavoidable. Nothing is more respected than the sage Confucius, and nothing is more hated than Han Feizi. We naturally annoy him. Is the king of Li Jun afraid of offending Li Jijiu?" Jia Zhen and Although Prince Li has different temperaments, his opinions are quite consistent, especially under the interference of Li Jijiu, they get along very well. "Why is this king afraid? This king is just worried that the world's students are going to be turned upside down." Li Junwang narrowed his eyes slightly, and although he smiled, he revealed coercion for no reason. "So what? Natural selection, the Dayang Dynasty is full of talents, but there is no one this year, and there will be scientific examinations in the next year. Could it be that they will give up the scientific examinations in the future?" Jia Zhen's mouth curled slightly, these Most of the students don't know what's going on outside the window. I'm afraid they don't even know how much an egg costs, so they can still be a good official.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to cheat this year. It's okay to talk about the first game, but it's useless to take the book in the next two games." Prince Li leaned on the back of his chair and said in a low voice. "That's not necessarily the case. Afterwards, in the process of transcribing and scribbling names, some shallow-sighted people may secretly change the test papers, or do a lot of things that shouldn't be done." Jia Zhen didn't dare to be careless, and quickly reminded. "Master Shi Lang is very considerate, and he should send someone to keep an eye on it." Li Junwang had fought so many verbal battles and spent so much effort over Enke's test questions and other matters, so he naturally refused to let his achievements fall short.

On the ninth day of February, Chunwei's first exam began. Due to strict inspections, some students who cheated have been cleared out of the exam room.By February [-]th, all three exams had been completed.The papers began to be transcribed and their names were blurred. Because of the arrangement of Jia Zhen and Li Junwang, many officials who tried to help the candidates cheat were caught. Not only these officials were taken off their black hats, but the candidates were also disqualified. And he will not be allowed to take the scientific examination again for life, but the list of officials and students involved in this matter will be announced together on the day the list is released.

Leaving aside how the examiners mark the papers, let’s talk about the students’ reactions first. Now that Jia Zhen is an examiner, she and her colleagues are not allowed to return home, and they have no way of knowing the news from the outside world.However, Jia Hu inquired a lot of information for Jia Lian, Jia Zhu and Jia Mao, and now the restaurants and bookstores have been turned upside down by the students, saying that the topic of the paper this time is really too unimaginable, and they are helpless. Even when answering questions, I don’t know where to start or where to start. "Brother Wu, are you confident?" A student named Zhang Zuo asked another student who was eating and drinking porridge quietly, unlike the angry students. "Fortunately, Brother Zhang didn't hand in a blank paper in the first round." Wu Zicheng looked at his friend and asked with some concern. Obedience to orders, the body is not upright, even if orders are not obeyed.You must know that Zhang Zuo has never been used to the protection of officials in the officialdom, and he will inevitably criticize him. He was kicked out of the academy at the beginning because he had a quarrel with his husband's understanding of these scriptures.

"Don't worry, if I had concerns before and didn't dare to write more, now I can't wait to scold more happily. Regardless of the examiner, just talking about the next two topics will show the Holy Majesty's intentions. Besides, This time the three chief examiners, King Li and Lord Jia Shilang, I bet that they are definitely not such pedantic people who only know what they want to do all day." Zhang Zuo lowered his voice, but still couldn't hide his heart Excited, he said to his friend Wu Zicheng.

"I'm not as bold as you. The last one I wrote was about the river course. On the one hand, I am very sure that I have something to say, and on the other hand, I want to be well-behaved." Wu Zicheng has always been a cautious person, On weekdays, he likes to read and write books on geology and water patterns, so he has dabbled in Mohism, so although the second round was unexpected, he felt that he still did a good job, but this time he didn't know how the examiner would judge the papers. He didn't have much confidence in his heart.

"Brother, the test paper this time is really unexpected." Jia Lian spoke first. He never expected that the test questions would be like this, but Jia Zhu was secretly startled. It seemed that he really needed to ask Big Brother Zhen for advice. Although he can't be regarded as studying behind closed doors, he doesn't care about other things at all, but he rarely asks about common affairs, so how can he answer such papers.But Jia Mao was better in comparison. Jia Zhen never pampered him very much, and asked him to take care of many things early on, and he often walked around.

All the papers were finished one by one, and finally handed over to the three chief examiners for review. Prince Li and Jia Zhen did not look at the grades on the papers, but only read the papers of the last round first.Jia Zhen has always been impatient with those who can only talk empty words, and prevaricate with some sage's words, such as governing the country with virtue and educating the people, but did not point out the current shortcomings of the court or give practical solutions, or say something Those who sing praises.Seeing the expressions of Jia Zhen and Li Junwang, the examiners below felt uneasy. The papers they put on the top were the most outstanding candidates they saw, and none of them were satisfied with Li Junwang and Jia Shilang. As for Li Jijiu , the examiners have somewhat ignored him, after all, everyone knows that these two are the emperor's confidantes.

"This one is really good." Jia Zhen suddenly turned out a volume, read it carefully, and couldn't help but be overwhelmed. "This king also has one here." Lijun Wang finally found an answer sheet that he was satisfied with.
