Chapter 2140 Examiner
This thing has happened a lot, and the candidates who came to take the exam for the first time also realized it... This is someone who is afraid that the candidates will pass the exam, and deliberately poisoned them!
After all, there are only so many places for Jinshi. If we dont get rid of the good candidates, how can the children of wealthy families and high-ranking officials pass the exam?
After learning the lesson, many foreign officials who wanted to curry favor with aristocratic families and high-ranking officials through cultural gatherings no longer dared to go to banquets, and they all kept studying.
But this incident also upset the mood of the officials.
There are many people who are affected and frightened, and cannot continue studying. Naturally, they cannot do well in the exams, and there are many vacant places.
"It's the New Year today, you guys take a break and stop writing policy papers. Write every day. When the test comes, you will be so tired that you want to vomit!" Lu Bai almost vomited when he saw them writing policy papers. Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, he specially didn't They went out to find death, but prepared iron plates and pots for them to have a good meal.
Dou Shaodong's family also came over and brought them a few kilograms of venison: "Venison is best when roasted, but you can't eat too much. Everyone just has to taste it, so as not to get sick from eating and drinking and delay the test."
Xu Zhaoming was very happy: "I haven't eaten venison before. I wonder if it tastes good?"
Dou Shaodong's family chuckled: "It's delicious, but I'm afraid you might get a nosebleed after eating it and have random dreams at night."
There were some people present who were married, and some who were not married knew something, and they didnt think it was a big deal. Only Yan Xiaowu was thin-skinned and blushed.
"Stop talking, let's bake it quickly. I've never eaten venison before, so I'm anxious to try it." Lu Bai bluntly sliced the venison with a knife, grilled a piece for himself first, and said in surprise: "Sure enough, it's the same as the others." The meat is different and delicious!
A group of people had the New Year's Eve dinner happily. They had a day off on the first day of the new year and continued studying **** the second day of the new year.
During this period, many people came to our door to invite them out for a drink, but they were all blocked by Dou Shaodong's family.
If Dou Shaodong's family couldn't stop it, the Yan family came out to stop it so that Gu Jinan and the others could study quietly.
Because Gu Jinan and the others did not come out to socialize, many people were angry.
"Gu Jinan is really smart. He hasn't gone out since he arrived in Beijing. Humph, you think you'll be fine if you hide? Even if you pass the Huiyuan examination and become the top scholar, you can have an accident and make it impossible for you to become an official!"
Because of Qin Sanlang's great achievements, Gu Jinli's donation of medicine, Gu Jin'an's donation of prescriptions, etc., Gu Jin'an's reputation was very great in the capital, and he became a figure that many wealthy families and high-ranking officials wanted to get rid of.
There is no other way. If we dont get rid of him, what will our children do?
With people like Gu Jinan who are knowledgeable and good at doing things, their children will have to work under him even if they pass the exam.
Emperor Jingyuan, the Ouyang family, the Zongzheng family, and the people from Ming Cong were also staring at Gu Jinan, but they were more calm and just stared without coming out to communicate.
During the Chinese New Year, Zheng Ying and Guan Zhuo sent someone to send a New Year gift to Gu Jinan because of their friendship with Gu Jinan, and Dou Shaodong's family collected it on his behalf.
These two people knew that the examination was important, so they only gave gifts and did not come to disturb Gu Jinan.
The family of Magistrate Xu also came with New Year's gifts.
County Magistrate Xu was promoted to be an official in Beijing. He was very happy to know that Gu Jinan and the others were coming to take the examination. He wanted to come and see Gu Jinan several times and talk to him about his affairs, but Jiang Sheng stopped him.
Jiang Sheng scolded him: "Gu Jieyuan and I haven't seen you for many years, and you are a junior. What can I say to you, an old man?"
Xu Chongfeng wiped his tears: "Why don't we know him well? After all, he is half a fellow countryman. I came to the capital to be an official, half of it is because of his family. I can't even vomit bitterness when I meet him?"
As a result, Jiang Sheng scolded him again: "Shut up, don't you want to live anymore? It's a grace for you to come to the capital to be an official, but you still dare to complain? If you want to die, tell me early and I will help you!"
After hearing this, Xu Chongfeng cried again, but gave up the idea of coming to see Gu Jinan and asked Jiang Sheng to take his son to deliver the test to Gu Jinan on the day of the examination.
This year was the year of the Great Competition, and Emperor Jingyuan was in a hurry to hire people, so the adults went to the Yamen after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. After ten days of busy work, they finally finished the examination.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the capital was extremely lively, and many people rushed to the Gongyuan while it was still dark.
Gu Jinan and the others were also walking in the crowd, and their heads hurt when they looked at the crowd of people.
Ouyang Fu and his men, along with the Yan family and the Gongyuan family, opened the way for Gu Jinan and the others, but when they arrived at the Gongyuan, they were still squeezed so hard that their clothes and hair were messed up.
Dou Shaodong's family shouted: "Get in the carriage, get in the carriage quickly, check your body first after getting in, don't let anyone stuff a note. If you are found out, you will lose your reputation!"
In previous years, many candidates had slips of paper stuffed into them during the chaos. When they were found out during the inspection by the Tribute Court, they were immediately taken away and their reputation as candidates was cut off.
After hearing this, Gu Jinan and the others hurriedly got into the carriage.
It is said to be a carriage, but in fact there are no horses, just a few carriages, which are balanced by stones. Nowadays, there are many people, and horses cannot be used. If the horses are frightened, someone will be killed.
There are many horseless carriages like this. At a glance, they are both front and back.
This is specially prepared by wealthy families for their children who are taking the college entrance examination, while those who have no money or power can only queue up shivering in the cold wind.
Gu Jin'an and the others were blessed by Dou Shaodong's family and Yan's family to be able to sleep in the carriage.
When it gets dark, the drums sound loudly, and people start lining up to pay tribute to the courtyard.
There were so many people that it was Gu Jinans turn after an hour.
The examination is a national event. Emperor Jingyuan set the rules that only those who take the examination can enter in person. After entering, you have to be stripped and examined. You have to throw away your own clothes and wear clothes issued by the Ministry of Etiquette.
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, food, water, charcoal fire, etc. are all issued by the Ministry of Rites, and you cannot bring your own.
Inspection, handing out things, and entering the examination shed were a long-term project. By the time all the candidates entered the examination shed, it was already midnight and it was getting dark. Emperor Jingyuan's people entered the Gongyuan with the examination questions.
At the examiner's command, the military men beat drums and informed all the candidates of the test questions.
Gu Jin'an guessed right. The current examination will mainly test the peace of the people during the war.
There are three games in total, one every three days, each of which is related to wartime governance.
Such test questions stumped half of the candidates. Some people knelt down in the examination booth and cried bitterly: "We are literati. We only do academics. How can we know about military affairs? If we can take the military test, our literary path will be cut off!" "
Emperor Jingyuan was in the Gongyuan. He was the real examiner of the Jinke Examination. When he heard this, Long Yan was furious and directly ordered: "Behead him on the spot!"
At what time is it now? How can civil servants govern the northwest if they don't know how to fight?
After hearing this, Mr. Ouyang hurriedly knelt down to stop him: "Your Majesty, you can't. This is the Gongyuan, and now it's the examination. If someone is beheaded here, and the news spreads, the scholars will scold the imperial court, and so will the people." I am afraid that I will not dare to come to the capital to take the exam in the future. Your Majesty, this is something that will cause endless consequences and must not be done!"
