Guo Hao got angry and scared Jiang She. This guy didn't look fat, so why was he thinking about eating?

"This is the top scorer you selected for me? That's the level of the top scorer?"

Lu Duosun and the officials of the Ministry of Rites both broke out in cold sweat and looked at Wang Pu.

Wang Pu was also surprised and said, "Your Majesty, my husband has read his test papers and he has indeed answered them well. Moreover, the papers are all marked with names, so there is no possibility of selfishness!"

The others were a little guilty, but Wang Pu was very calm. Guo Hao looked at Jiang She on the ground and had a guess in his heart.

"If it's not for personal gain, it's fraud. Jiang She, I'll ask you who gave you the test questions. If you are willing to tell the truth, I can spare your life, otherwise..."

Guo Hao's expression was very fierce. The majesty he had developed over the years was not something that a scholar could bear. Jiang She was immediately scared.

"Sir, please spare me. This is all given to me by a Taoist priest. The student thought he was a liar, but when he wanted to try it, he bought a test question. But he didn't expect it to be true, so he..."

Guo Hao listened and looked at Lu Duosun and the exam questions were leaked. This is not a joke. The national talent ceremony is a big deal. If such a mistake is made, the relevant officials will be blamed!

"Li Hui!"

"exist!"

"Take someone to investigate immediately and find the Taoist priest as soon as possible to see how many copies he sold!"

"yes!"

"Come here!"

"exist!"

"Take this opportunistic and just a scattered person and take it on my side!"

"yes!"

After saying that, a warrior stepped forward and grabbed Jiang She's arm and walked out. Jiang She begged repeatedly, thinking that Guo Hao was going to kill him.

Looking at the remaining people, Guo Hao said sternly: "Who else has bought the test questions? Now stand up. I can spare him once, otherwise I will be punished as a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

The ministers present held their breath, and the people from the Ministry of Rites prayed in their hearts, hoping that there would not be too many people involved, but in the end, no one moved over twenty people.

"Hey, it's interesting. You don't admit it. Okay, since that's the case, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. People come and set up the scene. I want to take the exam for them in person!"

"yes!"

There was no shortage of manpower in the palace. Soon twenty-three tables and chairs were placed on it and placed neatly in the middle of the open space. The candidates entered their seats one after another and sent paper and pens to wait for Guo Hao to give the questions.

Guo Hao did not plan to take the exam again with mathematics and investigation. This is indeed a bit difficult. Guo Hao thought for a brief moment and said: "The country holds the imperial examination to select talents. You are all scholars. You should know the importance of reading. In this way, study and the development of the country will be written!"

Regarding education and national development, it goes without saying that in later generations. Guo Hao has been instilling the importance of studying in recent years, but many people do not understand him.

In fact, this is not a fault for Guo Hao. There is a saying in "Laozi": "Don't respect the virtuous, so that the people will not fight; do not value rare goods, so that the people will not be robbed; do not see the desire, so that the people will not be confused.

Therefore, the sage's governance is to weaken his heart, strengthen his abdomen, weaken his ambition, strengthen his bones, and often make the people ignorant and have no desires."

The teachings of the sages were preceded. In the Tao Te Ching, there is also: "In ancient times, those who are good at doing Tao did not use to make people clear, but would use to fool them.

The difficulty of governing the people is because of their wisdom, so they govern the country with wisdom, and the thief of the country; if they do not govern the country with wisdom, they will be blessed by the country."

Framed in the palace hall for 1,500 years, every emperor must follow it truthfully, which is the principle of feudal fools.

Therefore, many books have nothing to do with the common people. In the pre-Qin period, only the palace could read and read. At least a large landlord must be a high-ranking official.

Because the common people are slaves, there is no funeral.

The children of small and medium-sized landlords can read and read, which was the first time that the jungle system was born during the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The jungle system originated from the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms. In order to take refuge, temples were set up as study clubs to restore the country. However, the religions at that time did not distinguish between a certain religion.

Therefore, it is not so easy for Guo Hao to break a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years and to break the cage of people's thoughts.

So this question can be said to be difficult. Although talents are important to the country, there are only a few. The answer Guo Hao wants in his heart is that a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

The Jinshi answered questions in the sun, and Guo Hao and they sat under the eaves of the purple building and occasionally went down to take a look.

During the answering questions, Guo Hao looked through the files of twenty people, and found another problem, that is, these twenty Jinshis are all northerners, but none of them are southerners!

Bang!

Guo Hao threw the list on the table and turned around to question the two examiners: "Didn't you notice that something is abnormal? More than 20 people are from the north. Shouldn't you explain it to me?"

"this……"

Wang Pu was a little speechless this time. He always thought that he was doing very fairly and did not have any favoritism, but this question was a bit coincidental and he really didn't know how to explain it.

"Your Majesty, all the Jinshis who passed the exam are from the north. I think this is expected. Because there were two more subjects in this exam, the scholars in the south were not prepared enough, so their grades were naturally not as good as those in the north."

Lu Duosun reacted quickly and stood up to speak for Wang Pu. Wang Pu felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded and agreed.

"But didn't I say that the last two games are additional questions. If you answer them, you will get extra points. If you can't answer them, you won't lose points!"

At this time, the Minister of Rites stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am following your will. As a result, these studies have a certain level in scriptures, mathematics, and even investigations. I have compared them repeatedly and finally selected them!"

After hearing the explanation from the Ministry of Rites, Guo Hao nodded. He felt that although these officials were a little stupid, they did not dare to do too much.

However, even though they did not make small moves, the leak of the test questions was a fact. Apart from the officials in charge of the test, there were only a few of his children.

Two hours later, everyone wrote almost the same thing. Guo Hao took the test paper and looked at it. He found that although it was not the standard answer in his mind, these people's literary talent was still OK.

"These are only three in the top three, Li Su, Wang Ning, Ning Yi, as for the people behind, you can go back and re-rank it, not counting the extra points in the last two games, so you can give the male scholar a chance."

"yes!"

"I will continue to investigate the leak of the exam questions. All the exams involved in the case will cancel this score. If I find that it is related to you, you'd better think clearly about how to explain to me!"

"yes!"

The officials retreated timidly, and the candidates also left the palace. Guo Hao went back and recalled what happened today, and always felt something was wrong.

He didn't participate in the scientific examinations in the past few years. After all, the premise of his employment is to pass the assessment. Let's try it if it is OK.

But now I think there is something wrong with his method and there are big loopholes.

If a scholar passes the exam by cheating, even if he does not have real talent and knowledge, he can still get an official position. If someone controls him behind him, it is equivalent to cultivating power.

The best way to test the scholar's level is to test it himself, but he had never done it before, and it seemed that there was no such thing as in the Five Dynasties.

Suddenly, Guo Hao understood that he finally thought something was wrong, there was no palace examination!

It is said that the palace examination has been in existence since the Tang Dynasty, and it was founded by Wu Zetian, but there was no system. It was not until the Song Dynasty officially formed the system, and it was used by the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Palace examination, also known as imperial examination and court examination, refers to the emperor's personal test, and the candidates who have selected the imperial examination must participate.

The purpose is to pass the imperial examination and get the best grades. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were divided into three grades, but not two grades. The imperial examinations in the early Northern Song Dynasty were an annual two-level examination, and the first grade was the "examination" held by each state.

The second level is a "provincial examination" held by the Ministry of Rites in the Neigong Courtyard of Kaibao Temple. It was later changed to be held every other place or two years, and finally to be held every three years.

In the sixth year of Kaibao in the Song Dynasty, Li Fangzhi, a Hanlin bachelor, presided over the national examination held at the Tokyo Tribute Academy.

After various examinations, a total of 38 Jinshi were admitted, including 38 students in each subject, and 2 of them were dismissed because of their "smallest material and no questions asked".

Xu Shilian, a failed Jinshi, beat the drum of the drum and accused Li Fang of "making a choice with love" and demanded the palace examination to seek justice.

Song Taizu issued an edict to select 195 people and 36 people who had failed the exam, and conduct a re-examination in the Hall of Martial Arts. Song Taizu personally presided over the leadership. As a result, 127 people passed the exam, and 10 of the original admitted people were not selected.

After the list was launched, the court and the country were in a big uproar and Li Fang was demoted. This imperial examination case not only became the beginning of the palace examination, but also established the three-level examination system in feudal society since then.
