Nine hundred and twenty-three

After so many years, Suning finally realized the feeling of teachers correcting students' test papers. Back then, when Suning was still in school, what he wanted to do the most was the teacher, because the teacher had the right to correct papers, and the test papers were the ones that made students most frightened and restless. This power made Suning envious, jealous and hated at the time, and wanted to obtain the same power, control the joys, anger, sorrow, and happiness of the whole class, and have the power to seize life and death.

But now when Suning is really sitting at the table to judge the testimonials' grades, Suning no longer has the desire he had at the beginning. As he thought before, there are some things you will be excited, fantasized, yearned, and can't help but imagine how happy and complacent you should be after you do it. However, the result is that you often have no feeling. At most, you can relax a little, allow yourself to have a good meal, and then continue to work hard.

Looking at the test paper in front of you, Suning knew that he was holding the power to make these candidates happy, anger, sorrow and happiness. This power was very interesting. When it did not exist, you would long for it, but when it existed, you would feel trembling and extremely sacred, and dare not neglect at all. What's more, His Royal Highness, who represents the future of the Tang Empire, was by your side and participated in the marking.

It’s not that Li Chengqian directly scored the papers. Li Chengqian was not granted the right to score the papers by His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Chengqian believes that Li Chengqian’s ability lies in the marking of papers. His professionalism is not appropriate, so he is not allowed to score the papers. He is only allowed to check the test papers after being judged. After studying, Suning is a master of the master of the rank of the papers and can naturally participate in the marking. Moreover, as far as "Zizhi Tongjian" is concerned, His Majesty Li Er has recognized Suning’s academic status, so Suning is allowed to participate in the marking.

There is no clear discipline difference in the imperial examination, only the position difference. Some low-famous scholars can only judge the test papers for relatively low-level positions based on their own expertise and skills. The test papers for applicants for important officials of county governments such as the Law Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic

It's funny to say that this method of imperial examination is only the fourth time, which is very different from the imperial examinations that were prevailed before the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, when referring to it, many candidates cannot understand in time what the meaning of these examinations are, what are the basic meanings and answer points of the questions. Most scholars who have only received Confucian classical education before do not understand the big difference between these practical questions and what they have learned.

Because the University of Political Science and Law has only been inaugurated for four years, the first graduates were just allowed to graduate a year ago, and not everyone is willing to take the imperial examination as soon as they graduate, so there are not many candidates at the University of Political Science and Law. This is when the second University of Political Science and Law graduated. There are less than a thousand students from the University of Political Science and Law among the tens of thousands of students taking the imperial examination. The others are folk scholars and scholars, and their thinking has not changed completely.

There are indeed many people referring to each year and many selected them. However, it is worth noting that when the imperial examination was first opened, more than 100,000 people applied for the imperial examination, but only more than 1,000 were admitted, which caught up with the proportion of students admitted for the first time in military universities. After that, the Tang Dynasty conducted an assessment and investigation on this situation. The results of the study were that people's wisdom was just beginning to begin, education had just begun to become popular, and the study of the Legalists and other hundreds of schools were not well known by the Tang people. Most scholars still understood the imperial examination as the previous Confucian imperial examination.

They do not understand what the real meaning of exam selection based on official positions is.

So when facing many strange test papers, Suning found it funny, but he didn't feel happy. This situation actually means that it is very difficult for the Tang Dynasty to start the road to popularizing education for the people's wisdom, and there are still many tasks that need to be completed. This is just the beginning.

"Oh, what are the answers? Ask him how to interrogate a theft case, he said torture him directly, and he was not afraid of being recruited. How could such a person allow him to be a county magistrate? Such a person dares to apply for the position of county magistrate? Alas! Your Highness, this imperial examination, many people will probably be deposed again!" An official from the Ministry of Justice in his forties sighed at Li Chengqian, while shook his head constantly.

Li Chengqian drank tea, looked at the test paper, shook his head and threw the test paper aside: "People's wisdom was just beginning, and education has not yet been popularized in their area. They thought that it was the original imperial examination, and the explanation of the scriptures was well written, but it was just an examination of basic skills, and there was no grasp of more important things. When I thought that the Tang Dynasty had selected such talents in the past, I felt worried and worried!"

Suning handed the paper to Li Chengqian: "Ask him about farming, and he answered me that the poem says, "This is what we can refer to as the county magistrate? This is the previous imperial examination that can be selected such a person. It is full of absurd words, and the people below have only tears of bitterness. Such a nerd who is stingy with words must not only be dismissed, but also severely scolded him. If such knowledge and attitude are learned by more people in the future, they will not know how many people will harm."

Li Chengqian took the test paper and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, no, no, there are too many such people, one by one, it is really fatal. Now the Tang Dynasty has indeed popularized education in many places in Guanzhong, and many places in Shandong, Jiangnan and Shuzhong have also popularized education. But overall, education has been popularized on less than 30% of the country. Most citizens still do not understand what the situation of the controversy among the hundreds of schools of thought. In this way, the talents we can select will be greatly reduced."

Suning said: "This matter cannot be urgent. Making paper and books takes time, cultivating teachers requires more time, and improving the education system requires more time. We cannot be anxious, and we cannot be anxious. When we are anxious, others will follow us. Everyone is anxious, and this matter will be over. So, take it slowly. If you say this here, you can't tell the officials below. Once you say it, they may have to do something.

We need to take our time. First, we must send people to areas where we have not yet popularized education to promote the significance of the imperial examinations in the court, as well as the examination methods of selecting officials, the content of the test questions in the test papers, etc., we must say that we should not let people in those places continue to read the Confucian classics. Reading those things is not good for them. The fewer people who can read, the greater the loss for us."

Li Chengqian nodded in agreement, then put down the test paper, stood up, inspected around, and picked up a test paper after evaluation from time to time. Most of them were very bad test papers, but you can also see a good test paper from time to time: "Sanming, this is still good. Look at this policy statement, it is good. How to review officials and how to coordinate matters, and it has the potential to be a leader. This should be OK and should be passed and let him take the actual test afterwards."

After taking the test paper, Suning took the test paper, his eyes lit up. After reading all the bad guys and bad dates, a very normal flower suddenly appeared. He naturally felt happy. After looking at his consideration of the position of county magistrate, as well as many important points such as agricultural affairs, legal affairs and defense, Suning felt that this person was good at farming affairs and did not know much about military affairs. Such a person needs a good military officer to assist, and he can arrange other places in a coordinated manner.

It is impossible to ask a fledgling novice to understand everything. What he should understand most now is how to learn how to practice, rather than just doing everything randomly.

Suning nodded and admitted: "This person should have the potential to pass. Please take a look. If there is no problem, even if this person passes the written test, he can participate in tomorrow's actual test. How about it?"

Suning circulated the test papers to the powerful people of the review team. Everyone discussed it in groups of three or two, and thought it was feasible, so they unanimously agreed that this person passed the first assessment and could participate in the second assessment, and it was worth caring about it, and it was worth paying attention and training. If he had the opportunity, he might be a very good official, or maybe he might be.

Of course, this matter cannot be generalized. Perhaps this guy is just a good theoretical school. Once he encounters actual tests, he may lose his chain, so everyone reserves his opinion. No one says that this is a genius who is invincible, or something, but he is allowed to pass.

The subsequent review also included many test papers that made Suning laugh and cry. The strange answers made the examiners always beat them. Another candidate’s answer to how to manage farming was to get a bunch of potato seeds and let them grow potatoes together. Anyway, it was good to live and eat enough to fill their stomachs. How great!

Love, this guy doesn’t understand how potatoes are planted at all, nor does he know what the so-called potato seeds are. He just takes it for granted. Naturally, such a person cannot be elected.

The day's marking was over. With exhaustion, Suning was taken to the East Palace by Li Chengqian, and personally helped Suning, and asked him to cook a table of wine and food to reward the tired two people. There is still a day's marking task tomorrow, and it will not be possible to prepare for the second exam until the day after tomorrow. The second exam is also their main exam, and they need to be present throughout the whole process. It is probably another fierce physical and mental storm.

Suning made Li Chengqian’s favorite fried chicken and poached eggs. This guy likes to eat these two things. Then, with a small wine, it actually had a very good atmosphere. The fatigue of the whole day seemed to be cleared.

At the same time, Zhang Jianzhi received an invitation from Kong Yingda. Kong Yingda invited Zhang Jianzhi to his home for dinner and talk about some questions about his exams and his thoughts. Zhang Jianzhi was a little confused and worried about this. After all, he had said too much before. As the direct descendant of Confucius, Kong Yingda's actions were simply against Kong Yingda and insulting Confucius openly. Zhang Jianzhi was very worried about what other things Kong Yingda would do.

However, the facts prove that Zhang Jianzhi judged a gentleman by his villain's heart. Although Kong Yingda was a pedantic person and ignorant person, he did have a stomachache. Moreover, after many changes, this stomachache has gradually become a habit. The decline of Confucianism made him know that he was no longer as transcendent as before. His Majesty Li Er treated him the same as before, but he couldn't find much sense of security. He always felt that under the dual oppression of the throne and the Legalists, he was very dangerous, and Confucianism was also very dangerous.

He wanted to call Zhang Jianzhi over, just for a meal. He didn't want this young man who chose the Zongheng family to have any special prejudice against Confucianism. According to Kong Yingda's own judgment, the future achievements of this young man and Suning's favor for him were obvious that there must be a place among the future leaders of the Zongheng family. If such a young man had no good impression of Confucianism and even hated Confucianism, it would have a greater impact on Confucianism.

So that's all.

Zhang Jianzhi has too much thought.r1152
