After Xie Jin said this, Zhu Di frowned and asked hurriedly: "Is this true?"
"Really!" Xie Jin said flatly: "Thanks to His Majesty's grace, there are many people who can participate in Enke. There are provincial officials, scribes from the Yamen, and supervisors from the Imperial College. There are many well-educated people among them. It's not that they don't want to
Serving our emperor means they have no way to serve the country. Now that things have come to a point, they just want a fair fight and are willing to lose."
Zhu Di glanced at Xu Jingchang, "Is that what you mean?"
Xu Jingchang said: "I would like to ask your majesty to immediately gather all the candidates who passed the Enke exam into the military camp and guard them under the supervision of specialized personnel. They can be given books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, food, clothing and clothing. No one is allowed to visit them casually, even if
In case of emergency, you must submit the report truthfully and wait for approval. Only in this way can you eliminate all kinds of external discussions and ensure the fairness of the imperial examination."
When Zhu Di heard this, he understood that he had indeed risked everything.
It is inevitable that people on Enke's side will talk a lot because of their background.
It is impossible to have a smooth official career with such a reputation.
The only way is to fight to the death.
After Enko was over, everyone took the initiative to lock them up and asked the emperor to send someone to watch them.
Then when the trial over there is over, both sides compete together in the Golden Palace.
This can ensure that Mr. Nko never engages in bribery or malpractice for personal gain.
Enke, Enke, we are not asking for the favor of the court and an official position, but we want the court to give us a chance to defeat those superior scholars in an honest and upright manner.
Win happily and lose easily.
Break the cauldron and sink the boat in one fell swoop.
Scholar Nko showed so much courage that the pressure suddenly fell on the heads of those scholars.
It's good that they can win, but if they lose, everything from knowledge to character will be ruined. Who will say that they are Wenquxing descended to earth?
Is there any Wenquxing with such a wide crotch?
Pooh!
What a shame!
Zhu Di took a deep breath and thought over and over again, "Okay, I agreed, that's it! I also want to see the quality of scholars in the world."
When the emperor issued the decree, Xu Jingchang let out a long sigh. Xie Jin's anxious heart was relieved a little, but then it rose again.
After all, there is no real test yet, so it’s hard to say who will win and who will lose.
…
"No one will be waiting for you in the next period of time. You have to be careful when eating and sleeping. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, report it as soon as possible. Don't hold on."
Xu Huizu kept talking, just like an old lady.
Xu Qin didn't think anything of it. After all, he survived nine days in the Gongyuan.
The conditions for the next period of closed reading are actually good.
The location is just outside the Jubao Gate. The house was acquired by Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han Dynasty. Before it could be distributed to the craftsmen, it was used by them first.
Each person has a small courtyard. After moving in, two meals a day will be delivered by specialized personnel. If it is not enough, you can bring your own rice and cook food there. There is a kitchen anyway, so don't worry.
It's just that the area where they live is surrounded by a 1-foot-2-foot wall, and there are special guards stationed and patrolling.
Items coming and going must be strictly inspected before they can be released... In short, before the palace examination, contact with the outside world is cut off.
This guarantees that there will be no malpractice for personal gain or collusion to leak issues.
Once things have reached this point, even the most picky people will see them as almost impeccable. After all, if you doubt their problems, what about the external actions?
It is impossible for any examination to be 100% fair. We can only say that Enke Juzi has tried his best.
"Dad, my son is already in his twenties. He is either going far away or outside Jubao Gate. There is no need to bring so many things. Bring me a few more books and bring me the newspapers.
.Although you can read it inside, it will probably be divided among several people, which is not that convenient."
Xu Huizu nodded repeatedly, with a happy smile on his face, "You boy has really grown up."
Xu Qin smiled bitterly in his heart, he couldn't do it if he didn't grow up. His aunt and so many nobles were all staring at him! Moreover, he was also a member of the Xu family, and it felt uncomfortable to be suppressed by his cousin.
Moreover, there are so many gray-haired petty officials who all come to take the exam and risk their lives for fame. They are young and cannot fall behind others.
"Don't worry, father. The child will do his best and not disgrace the family."
After finishing speaking, Xu Qin took a simple change of clothes and two boxes of books and newspapers and went straight to the Jubao Gate.
At the same time, hundreds of other people who passed through Enke also rushed here and moved into the prepared buildings.
At this moment, reporters from Yingtian's Di newspaper are also waiting here.
"There are rumors everywhere now that Enke committed fraud. What do you think?"
"Also, the court officials said that they disdain to serve as ministers in the same palace as you. Are you prepared for being ostracized in the future?"
…
Facing the reporter's question, Xu Qin stopped abruptly, turned around and glared at the reporter, and said with a heavy snort: "When it comes to the palace examination, whether it is a mule or a horse, we can lead them out for a run. We will know who's ability is the test!"
Next to him, an old scribe who was nearly fifty years old also chuckled and said: "If you can test your skills and strictly restrain yourself, from now on, you will also live in these houses and not go around singing poems and paying homage to your seniors. We will meet then."
I respect you greatly. Otherwise, tell them to shut up!"
What a big temper!
But this is indeed the case. After moving in, it is equivalent to the emperor endorsing them. Unless you say that Zhu Di is unfair, leaked the topic to them, and dares to spread rumors about the emperor, then you will have to pay a price.
As Enke Juzi moved in, Yingtian's discussion disappeared instantly.
But it's clear that some people are still unwilling to let the heat go down.
This person is naturally a fun-loving person who goes to nine places out of ten and feels uncomfortable if he doesn't do something every day. His Royal Highness King Zhao, Zhu Gaosui.
That's right, Xu Jingchang has stopped.
In order to ensure the fairness of the imperial examination, all civil servants of the third rank and above in Beijing lived in seclusion. Even if they had no official duties, they had to go to the Yamen to work. After returning, whoever they met, what they said, what letters they wrote... they had to be ready for inspection at any time.
Once it is discovered that there is any contact with Jizi, a strict investigation will be carried out immediately.
As the Commander-in-Chief of Jinyiwei and the Chief of Zhanshi Mansion, Xu Jingchang must not be lenient to himself and strict with others. He goes to Jinyiwei and Zhanshi Mansion honestly every day and does not dare to neglect at all.
After being an official for such a long time, it was only in recent times that I was worthy of Zhu Di's salary.
Without Xu Jingchang, Zhu Gaosui definitely couldn't let Yingtian City lose its excitement... He really tried his best, and the newspaper was full of firepower.
A letter of war was issued directly to the scholars.
Aren't you high and mighty?
Isn’t Wenquxing descended to earth?
Are you not a disciple of Confucius and Mencius? Are you different?
You said that Enke cheated, and you swear by it.
Now is the opportunity. If you have the ability, let's compete in the palace examination to see who has better knowledge?
If you lose, please put down your arrogance and admit honestly that you may be good at reading, but you are far from being self-righteous!
You princes from all provinces, your test has come.
Just asking you, do you dare to accept the challenge?
On the one hand, Zhu Gaosui issued a declaration of war, and on the other hand, he encouraged people to respond in the same tone as the governors of various provinces.
Most of them are from Jiangxi.
It is probably based on a certain person from Jiangxi Province who did not want to be named: The world's cultural background converges in Jiangxi, and people who come from Enke cannot hold up a little finger of Jiangxi Province.
Just press it lightly and it will be crushed to death.
It's ridiculous to think that an earthworm shakes a big tree!
Some people looked down upon them, so the two sides started fighting in the air in the newspaper, sparks flying everywhere, and it was very lively.
It stirred up the whole emotion.
For example, Tang Sai'er, sitting on the second floor of her house, can see that the area across the street has been guarded by Jin Yiwei, with people waiting and no one allowed to get close.
There is this Enke examination.
You must work harder, swell the old faces of those scholar-bureaucrats, and let them know that there is a price to pay for being aloof and looking down on others.
Perhaps Enke's move did not expect that they, who were originally despised by the scholar community, would gain support from the common people.
Time is like sand in the palm of your hand, the more you cherish it, the faster it passes.
At the end of the examination, a total of 373 passed tributes have been freshly released.
It's just that they are probably the worst group of people in history... Originally, the palace examination only ranked people, not deposed them. In other words, if you passed the examination, you would be a glorious Jinshi. The only difference was the ranking.
You all can celebrate, now you have entered the community of scholar-bureaucrats.
But this time is different, there is still a group of people waiting!
It can even be said that if you fail to pass the examination, you are just inferior in knowledge. If you make a comeback, you will still be a good man if you pass.
But if he loses to Enke's son in the palace examination, it will be troublesome.
He will simply become a sinner in Shilin and an object of ridicule in the world.
Now that I think about it, it seems that losing my reputation is not a bad thing, at least I don't have to bear the infamy.
It's a pity that the matter has come to this, there is no way out, we can only fight hard.
By the way, what will be tested in the imperial examination?
Can you successfully defeat those people?
At this moment, these talented scholars discovered the problem.
Xu Jingchang also had a smile on his face, and he said to Fatty Zhu: "Your Highness, which one of the imperial examinations do you think is the most important?"
Fatty Zhu said subconsciously: "Of course it's the imperial examination!"
Xu Jingchang smiled and asked, "Really? You won't be deposed in the imperial examination!"
Zhu Gaochi was shocked, "What do you mean?"
"Starting from the county examination, the government examination, and the academician examination, to the township examination, and the general examination, the tests are all eight-legged essays... After screening through layers, the group of people selected are almost the same. The only difference is the level of literary talent and the strength of techniques!
It is almost impossible to hear anything new and brilliant. But the imperial examination is different from the previous ones. It only takes one question. The emperor asks the new scholars to make suggestions and solve problems... What do you think, Your Highness?"
Zhu Gaochi's face turned dark, "No matter what, the emperor has a choice, but he has no choice! This is too bullying."
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Actually, has your Highness ever thought about it? What is even more desperate is still far behind. What do you think will happen if the prince's master is also selected from Hanlin officials?"
What will happen?
You will be cheated and you don’t even know it!
Fatty Zhu suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Yes, today's palace examination will let everyone understand this trick."
