Chapter 1913: The title of the gold list Time flies in the blink of an eye, winter goes to spring.
At this time, after the heavy snow melted, the capital was full of spring.
But obviously at this time, not many people are in the mood to pay attention to this vibrant spring, a imperial examination reform, has accumulated too much dissatisfaction, there are a lot of people who make trouble everywhere, the entire two capitals and thirteen provinces, like a powder keg, countless people gritted their teeth, just hoping that one day, who will raise the banner of rebellion first.
Fortunately, Ye Chunqiu's prestige is still enough.
His Royal Highness King Lu suddenly entered Beijing on the eve of the imperial court announcing that he was going to reform the imperial examination, clearly in order to let His Royal Highness King Lu sit in Beijing during this sensitive period, and it was obvious that for those unsubordinated people who had bad intentions, they were ready to be suppressed at any time.
Those who are plotting against the people, although they see the opportunity and see the hearts of the people in this court, but at this moment, they still dare not act rashly.
Spring is approaching, and many scholars, although they are scolding in their mouths, but in their hearts, like this Zhang Shengyuan, they have no choice but to pick up business and law, and study hard.
Their mood is actually extremely contradictory, under this complex mood, they are at war in their hearts, but after all, their arms still can't reach their thighs.
After all, there are many people like Zhang Shengyuan, although they are disheartened, of course they are discouraged, of course they are gnashing their teeth, of they hate this court, deep in their hearts, they still recognize the Holy Master, but people have to live People want to live, they have to have food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and a person who can only read eight shares, if he can't be named on the gold list, what is the difference between him and a wasted person If the family wants to continue, it must be famous and official.
Therefore, even though they scolded bitterly in their hearts, they still had to pick up the books and read these unsightly miscellaneous books just like they did when they read the eight-strand system.
Seeing that the spring was imminent, Beizhili had already posted a list, the Gongyuan was ready, and the officers and soldiers began to block the nearby streets.
This time, there are a lot of candidates who apply for the exam, on the one hand, because of the great opportunity, the imperial court allows all the talents to have the qualifications for the exam, and this time the imperial court needs a lot of jinshi, which is ten times that of previous years, because of this, so many people who were originally disheartened scholars have now registered, and those who have signed up are close to 200,000 people, which has accounted for the majority of the students.
In the examination room of Beizhili alone, more than 20,000 people took the exam, which is unprecedented, and the pressure on the invigilators is also extremely great.
Zhang Shengyuan entered the examination room with all the readers, and took the exam for a day, an hour of law papers, which only let you write some decrees of the Ming Dynasty Law silently, an hour of business papers, mostly some arithmetic questions, and some knowledge about business, and finally, let you write a chapter to explain what it means to communicate with each other.
The scriptures and history are very involved, and there are a lot of lists, Zhang Shengyuan did not review the scriptures and history, and some topics were found that he had never seen them, but fortunately, he had some impressions of the scriptures and history, and filled in the answers with these impressions.
Three hours later, the candidates finally came out, this time it was different from the previous exams, in the past, out of the examination room, talented readers, often like to get together, discussing this time to do the question, what their own chapter is written, how sure they are.
But this time, people like Zhang Shengyuan hid their faces and left, for fear of bumping into acquaintances.
There are junior students who were not sure about the exam in the past, but now they seem to be extremely concerned, refusing to disperse outside the examination room, calling friends and telling each other how to do the questions.
Zhang Shengyuan only returned home silently, and the Wang family looked at him worriedly, he just shook his head and hid in the room in silence with a face of shame.
At the same time, all the collected papers have begun to be marked, and in order to prevent changes in the way, the imperial court requires that the list must be released within five days, so the examiners have begun to get busy.
In the past five days, every minute and every second, Ye Chunqiu felt that time passed too slowly, and when he saw that there was nothing else, he simply entered the palace every once in a while to comfort His Majesty, who was still uneasy.
Zhu Zaiyao has always had strange dreams these days, his face is not very good, looking at Ye Chunqiu, he can always have an invisible sense of trust, and he can't help but say at this time: "Father, I always dream of someone rebelling these days, and the whole world is rebelling, hey, I really can't rest assured." ” Ye Chunqiu looked at Zhu Zaiyao's tender face, and sighed faintly: "As the saying goes, there are thoughts in the day, and dreams in the night, this must not be true, Your Majesty has thought too much, even if I have rebelled, the bullet pressure is, Your Majesty Why should you worry about Your Majesty's relaxation, after the list is released, the situation can be very different." ” Zhu Zaiyao seemed to be confirming and said, "Will it really be very different?"
In fact, he has always been skeptical in his heart, the reason why he chose the eight-share restructuring is not so much that he is convinced that this is a panacea, but that it is his unconditional trust in Ye Chunqiu.
But in his heart, he faintly felt that the eight-share reform was tantamount to completely abandoning Confucianism, or putting this Confucianism in a less conspicuous position, which was tantamount to offending all the scholars in the world to death.
Ye Chunqiu gave him the answer very firmly: "If there is anything wrong, the minister is willing to come and see him." ” Zhu Zaiyao was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't cry or laugh, and the anxiety in his heart calmed down a little.
In Zhu Zaiyao's worries, the day of the release of the list has finally arrived.
On this day, Zhang Shengyuan went out early in the morning to go to the Gongyuan to see the list.
Zhang Shengyuan rejects it in his heart, but one thing is inevitable, whether he likes this exam or not, this exam is enough to change their fate for everyone.
If it is a person with a big family and their family needs to continue to increase its influence, then the children must do it.
If it is like Zhang Shengyuan, who is just an ordinary family background and a person with a little money, then there is no need to say it, otherwise, how can he change his fate With a complicated and apprehensive mood, Zhang Shengyuan walked to the outside of the Tribute Courtyard, only to see that outside the Tribute Courtyard, there was already a sea of people.
There are a lot of people watching the list this time, tens of thousands of people are crowded here, and it took him a lot of effort to squeeze forward.
With great anticipation and worry, it didn't take long for the list to finally start to be released.
The number of Jinshi in Beizhili is 35, the number of first-class lifters is about 500, and the number of second-class lifters is 2,000.
At this time, someone said in a loud voice: "The Jinshi list is out." ” aa2705221:
