The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 265: Twilight Deng Tianzitang
After the state exam, the next round is the provincial exam hosted by the Ministry of Rites.
The exam date is announced to be held in February, leaving some time for people from all over the world to travel to Beijing. The advantage of Gyeonggi Road students is probably that they don't have to travel long distances and can review with peace of mind.
The students of Kaifeng Prefectural School are all natives of their hometown - if they were from other places, they would have to go back to their country of origin for the state test. .
According to the analysis, Renzong's game theory has become more and more important in recent years.
I can only go back for a few days during the Chinese New Year, but the parents of the students agree very much. They can rest assured that their children are placed in government schools.
On the other hand, when the three-year term of the officials expired, many of them went to Beijing to report their duties. Shen Kuo's father, Shen Zhou, finally had the opportunity to meet his eldest grandson.
Shen Zhou and his wife love Guagua very much, because Shuangyi has always controlled her weight. Guagua was not too heavy at birth, but she is healthy and fatter as she grows. It fits the concept of a big fat boy in the hearts of the elderly.
They couldn't be more satisfied with Shuangyi. Even the name Shen Liang was accepted.
The old people think that the big vulgar is the elegant, and what's the use of such a fancy name, a simple one, but a good one. Like a watermelon, it has connotation and preciousness. What's wrong with it? No, didn't his uncle send so many watermelon fields when he was born?
Shen Kuo was suffocated to death, even more suffocated than the ginseng fruit that was called melon essence. It's not a matter of name or name, why does he feel that his family status has plummeted...
After having a child, the status order of many families changes dramatically—regardless of race.
Shen Kuo's family is like this, and so is Yun Beibei's family.
The female pandas that Yun Beibei soaked are also very popular with tourists in Lingnan, and they often receive bamboo shoots baskets. Not long ago, she gave birth successfully and gave birth to a panda cub.
The birthplace is in Lingyuan. On the second day of the birth, Yunyan returned to the family and went to see the cubs.
The mother panda holds the cub in her arms. The little cub is fleshy pink with no eyes open, looking like a little mouse. This makes many younger tourists refuse to believe that this is a panda cub, which looks too different.
Yun Yan replied that they did not dare to get too close, and only watched the discussion from a distance.
"Looks like Beibei!"
——This is what Zheng Ping said. Yun Yanhui always found it very familiar. It seems that Zheng Ping also used this sentence after Shuang Yi gave birth to a child. But Yun Yanhui still couldn't tell exactly how Zheng Ping saw that the child was like a parent.
The family also discussed at length, and should name Beibei's child as well.
Because the cub was born Lingling, and it was the first giant panda cub born here, they decided to call it Lingling.
As soon as Lingling was born, Bei Bei's attention dropped. Yun Yanhui brought Bei Bei from Zhao Yunchu's house to Lingyang to see his child. Bei Bei didn't know his wife much, let alone the children. He also saw Yun Yan Hui Lao throwing bamboo shoots there and gave it to him. Angrily, he slammed the railing.
After all, no matter how spiritual Beibei is, she still doesn't have human memory.
Yunyan went back and patted its head, and was fascinated by Lingling who fell down one step at a time.
Bebe Sapo rolled around and knocked on the railing with her chubby head, as if she wanted to accuse Yun Yan of returning to the new and disliked the old. What is there to look at over there, can that hairless cub have it cute?
Finally, Beibei refuses to stay in the confinement, reflecting its rare wisdom. If this is left in Lingyuan, then every time Yunyan comes back to see it, wouldn't it be equivalent to looking at the cub next door? This is giving it a chance!
Yun Yanhui imagined that the father and son of two giant pandas, one big and one small, were in love with each other, and even Lingling, who tried to crawl to Yunyanhui's feet as long as Beibei and Lingling were on the same occasion, never appeared. , will be carried away by Bei Bei.
……
Before returning from an envoy to the Liao Kingdom, Yun Yanhui mentioned asking Kong Ji to write some scenes of entraining private goods, and Kong Ji really created it. This auditing standard is quite high. It was personally audited by several ministers of the current dynasty and even Emperor Renzong. Yun Yanhui also entered the palace to discuss this aspect.
The big guys get together to discuss how to put the ideas they want to spread in the new drama in a high-end way, and finally they will be unified and called Kong Ji's revision. Some courtiers were even impatient and started writing it themselves.
——Song Chen has many talents, let alone writing poems and singing, the questions answered in the imperial examinations are all about phonology, so help me write a few words, no problem!
A group of smart people are suffocating people here, and it is very smooth.
At the end of the conversation, everyone dispersed, and Yunyan returned to the sheets and stayed behind.
Yunyan was thinking about what Renzong was looking for him, but Renzong seemed to have heard his voice and said, "Yesterday, Baoqing made a sabbatical. After I read it, I was very emotional!"
Yun Yanhui didn't know about this, so she silently looked at Renzong with studious eyes.
Renzong said: "The title is "Begging without Dirty Officials"!"
Yunyan raised her eyebrows, um, this really seems to have been written by Bao Zheng.
Ren Zong said: "The honest person is the example of the people; the greedy person is the thief of the people. I deeply agree with Bao Qing's words!"
These words are relatively simple, and Yun Yanhui can understand them. These are definitely Bao Zheng's experiences and words from the bottom of his heart. Before Bao Zheng's administration, the Kaifeng government office was filled with many evil and dirty officials, and they harmed many people.
Renzong was so emotional because he had investigated and handled some corrupt official cases that he will remember in his tenure.
After Yun Yan returned to Kaifeng Mansion alone, there were large cases such as "people's fat and people's cream" that caused Renzong to bring up the corruption case, the corruption case of collusion between officials and businessmen in the market, not to mention the countless small cases.
Yunyan pondered in her heart, with this incident, it seems that Renzong is going to crack down on corruption.
The officials of the Song Dynasty were treated very well, but there were always people who were unpopular, and they didn't receive any reasonable benefits.
As a member of the officials, Yun Yanhui, when the officials were so excited to talk to him, of course, he must resolutely agree and sway his blood together with Renzong. At the same time, he also started from his own personal experience. the benefits of doing it.
After soothing Renzong so well, Renzong really felt comfortable, and he was willing to ask Yunyan to tell him this. Yunyan was very interesting and gave the right response.
……
After the flattery at Renzong's place, Yunyan returned to her job, thought about it for a long time in the study, and went to the provincial Kaozhai.
——The Provincial Examination Room was specially organized temporarily for the spring provincial examination, and all of them were test takers.
Yunyan thought back for a long time and felt that since Renzong wanted to follow Bao Zheng's suggestion to crack down on corrupt officials, then this would be the most popular topic in the next few months, so he decided to ask candidates to do this question.
It's not a question of whether to bet or not. If there are students who do raise it, it can be regarded as a reminder of their official career.
Yun Yanhui wrote four big characters on the blackboard: Honest Officials and People's Table.
Ge Yun held his chin and asked, "Students, I can do this question." He sat in the first row, turned to face the classmates and said with a smile, "The problem is, how to praise Mr. Yun. "
Yunyan replied: "..."
Because Yun Yanhui has always been close to everyone, and he is not a serious professor, everyone took a relaxed attitude when he came to give the questions.
Everyone burst into laughter because of Ge Yun, honest official, is this the gentleman himself?
All of them have a lot of ideas about this topic. Everyone has practiced in the Kaifeng government office. What better place to verify this sentence than here? The changes in Kaifeng Mansion over the past few years have been seen by everyone.
Yun Yanhui took out the pointer from under the podium and put a pestle on Ge Yun's head, "You are proud, do you want to jump?"
Ge Yun was caught by Yun Yanhui when he was shopping in the courtyard, and the frog jumped from the courtyard back to the dormitory. Not to mention the classmates, half of Tokyo would know about it, and everyone immediately burst into laughter again.
Ge Yun bowed his head in shame, obediently admitting his counsel.
As for this student, Ge Yun, although he has some minor problems, his grades are still very good.
Yun Yanhui just glared at him, took the pointer back, considered it for a moment, and said, "I added this topic myself, I don't force you to write it, but I suggest you better think about it."
Yun Yanhui didn't make it very clear. Whether they can comprehend this kind of thing depends on their future destiny.
But out of respect for Yun Yanhui, everyone took the time to write this question even though the review task was already heavy enough.
……
In a few months, the Ministry of Rites will try.
Among the more than 90 candidates referred by Kaifeng House, there are 3 students in the Jinshi examination, 15 students in the Mingjing department, and 9 students in other subjects, for a total of 27 students.
Ge Yun was among the three Jinshi subjects.
These people are eligible to participate in the Palace Examination in March.
As soon as the results came out, many students went crazy.
At this point, the elites have been selected. However, the academic officials did not dare to relax, and ordered those who passed the exam to study hard. You must know that the palace exam is not a passing scene, and the chance of being rejected in one step is also very high.
The most terrifying thing is that there is no upper limit for rejections in the palace exam. In previous years, more than half of the candidates were rejected in the palace examination.
……
On the day of the palace examination, Ge Yun and other Kaifeng students came to the palace with the help of their teachers and classmates.
Yunyan went back to the palace and whispered a few words to the older Ge Yun outside the palace, reminding him that he had already managed the palace servants, not to mention that it was of great use, but if he was frightened by the majesty of the palace You can change your pants if you pee.
Ge Yun almost laughed, and his heart was very warm.
Twenty dozen students from Kaifeng Prefecture, wearing school uniforms, looked neat and cluttered together.
The candidates entered the palace and were taken to the Chongzheng Hall. They were not allowed to take anything with them except the study room. With so many candidates, there are 20 or 30 officials invigilating the exam alone.
Some candidates entered the palace for the first time in their life. Seeing this battle, their legs were a little weak, and they almost tripped over their own feet.
Ge Yun took a peek at it. Among the officials sitting in the hall, there was one he had actually met. It was an official from the Censor Terrace who had been invited back to Kaifeng Mansion by Yunyan to give lectures.
Ge Yun felt inexplicably relieved when he saw a familiar person, even if he knew what the other party couldn't do. After exchanging a glance with his classmates, he found that everyone was like this, and he was led to his seat more and more calmly.
There are three questions in the palace exam, which are given by the officials themselves. According to the convention, they are one poem, one essay and one strategy theory. No one knows what this topic is, where it comes from, and what scripture it is drawn from.
At Ge Yunyun's seat, before the exam begins, a hall examiner will distribute the question papers to the students.
When the test time is up, candidates can check the questions on the question paper with the order of the examiner.
Ten years of hard study, all look at the present.
Ge Yun held his breath, tried to calm down, and opened the question paper.
The questions are all engraved and printed, and everyone gets the same thing.
The title paper in Ge Yun's hand is printed with three square titles: "Frugal Fu", "Kunhua Peng Poem" and...
Ge Yun rubbed his eyes, showing a look of extreme surprise. He suspected that he had not woken up from a dream, otherwise how could he see such familiar words?
This is the most important policy topic among the three questions in the palace exam, and it is actually titled "The Remarks of Honest Officials and the People"!
"The List of Honest Officials and the People" is basically the same as Mr. Yun's "List of Honest Officials and the People"...
On this question, Ge Yun not only did it, but also asked the professor to correct it and explain it.
What are the odds of betting that the question is right, and the words are so close together? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
After confirming that he was not dreaming, Ge Yun couldn't help but start fantasizing. Could it be that, for them, Mr. Yun peeked at the official's questions in the palace, and then leaked it to them? !
