Chapter 407 Fraud
During these ten days of waiting for the results to be released, it is always a time for scholars to be wild and lively and intoxicated.
Some have worked hard for several years, and now that they are relieved, they always feel that they have to compensate for themselves in order to be worthy of themselves; some have been worried about gains and losses once they are announced, and can only be relieved by looking at flowers and drinking wine;
Some people have traveled thousands of miles to go to Beijing, but they feel that if they don’t fully appreciate the scenery of Kyoto, their trip will be in vain.
Not to mention, the city of Guangzhou is at the beginning of the Maritime Silk Road. Women of all kinds, such as Koreans, Japanese, and cannibals, are eye-opening and insightful.
The summary is: take the opportunity to indulge.
Qin Jinyan, courtesy name Shenzhi, was born in Fengzhou. He heard about the imperial examination last year and was preparing to take the examination. However, his mother was seriously ill and had to give up. This year, his mother's illness was slightly better, so he came to take the examination.
But his family was not very well-off. After the three exams, he stayed in the inn and drank wine without going. He was only forcibly invited to drink by people in the same class, so he reluctantly left.
This time, I heard that the person who invited me to drink was tomorrow, the day when the results were released. This time, it was the son of a minister of etiquette. This was the third time. I had attended the book club he reported to before, so I was invited to the banquet today.
A group of people came to the restaurant, and the various delicacies were very appetizing. The woman who accompanied the wine was also invited to the banquet. As for the singer who performed dance and vocal music, she was also famous in the Jiaofang Division. After one performance, hundreds of people were invited.
Guandu can't stop it.
"Everyone, we were acquainted by chance before the exams. Now, the day when the results are released is getting closer. Among us, there must be high school students. It will be difficult if we continue to be so dissolute. Please have a drink!"
As expected of the son of a minister, his words were irresistible. Qin Jinyan didn't know if it was bitter or sour when he drank a drink. He was really panicked. His family was poor. If he failed this time, he might not be able to succeed next time.
It’s time to take the exam again. Staying for a month, including food, costs three guan. A trip to Kyoto costs about ten guan for a round trip.
"It's difficult, it's difficult..." He murmured softly, and Qin Jin said that everyone would get drunk even if they were not drunk. He almost fell over in a daze before even taking a few bites of the food. In his eyes, she was just a singer.
Red and pink skull...
"Have you heard? Zhang Hanliang from Fengzhou is throwing a big banquet these days. I heard it's a sure bet!"
"That's right! The family has a lot of money. I heard that there are many rich people in Fengzhou. If you succeed in this subject, the family's power is like cooking oil in a hot fire. It's amazing!"
"Bah, that Zhang Hanliang has a nice name, a bit of bookishness, but a very vulgar appearance. He even bought a calendar and took it home to study. Who doesn't know about it in Fengzhou?"
After Qin Jinyan heard this, although his head was a little confused, his speech was still clear and he retorted.
"This dear friend, you can't say that. I heard that he has already admitted that he is destined to be selected and will be released tomorrow. Why is this so?" someone retorted.
"If you don't have some talent, how can you dare to take the imperial examination? If most of the world's talents are here, wouldn't it be a disgrace to yourself?"
He didn't hear the rest clearly, he just fell drunk.
…………
On the second day, at noon, the results had already begun.
There was an endless stream of bustling sounds, the sound of firecrackers, noises, congratulations, and all kinds of laughter and crying, which had nothing to do with Qin Jinyan.
He was lying on the bed with a splitting headache and the painful sounds in his ears. After a rough wash, he went out. When he turned around, he saw many lost scholars. They were drinking, or burying their heads in silence.
Or you may be unable to restrain yourself, staggering to the place where the list is posted, and seek again.
The same was true for Qin Jinyan. He didn't believe that he had failed the exam. He walked slowly to the place where the exam results were released. Most of the people there had dispersed. Only people like him who couldn't believe it wanted to confirm it.
Sure enough, there was no Qin Jinyan's name on the yellow silk. After going up and down several times, I felt all hope and despair in my heart, and my heart became more and more painful.
"No, why is Zhang Hanliang's name there? Why is he on the list?"
"How can he get into high school if he has no ideas?"
"I have outstanding talent and great literary talent. How can I fail?"
"There must be something fishy, unfair, absolutely unfair..."
"Fraud in the Imperial Examinations of the Tang Dynasty——"
Looking at the group of dejected scholars who were as depressed as himself, and then at the dazzling yellow list, Qin Jinyan felt as if his chest was going to explode. He waved his arms and said loudly:
"The examiner cheated and the job was unfair——"
The group of lost-spirited scholars were wandering around the Huangbang list. When they were confused, they suddenly heard a urgent cry in their ears. They were instantly blessed and became energetic. They quickly responded:
"The examiner cheated and the job was unfair..."
In an instant, all the scholars around Huangbang responded. There were thousands of people who failed. At this time, there were more than a thousand people who could respond. Their shouts shook the entire city of Guangzhou.
At this time, our emperor is still thinking about how to judge Sandingjia. From a scientific point of view, he cannot discern it, so he can only look at Cewen.
There is only one question in this policy question: There were states in the Han Dynasty, and there was a way in the former Tang Dynasty. Now, in the Tang Dynasty, we have established it as a government. How can we evaluate its merits?
Not surprisingly, everyone is praising the advantages of setting up a government, and there are many braille praises, such as centralizing power in the center, eliminating the disadvantages of feudal towns, benefiting the people, etc...
"Hey, I have a headache!" Li Jia was quite irritated. Damn it, there are still many of these people who like to show off their knowledge and always like to use some obscure words or rare allusions. He really can't understand it. There is no such thing.
Feeling of pleasure.
At this time, a loud noise came from his ears, and his mood completely exploded.
"what happened?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, for some reason, a group of candidates are gathering together and making loud noises!"
"What's the noise?" Li Jia asked.
"Threat - the examiner cheated and the job was unfair!" Tian Zhong said very carefully.
"Huh? Since I set up the imperial examination, I have set up transcripts, obscured names, and committed fraud?" Li Jia stood up instantly. He set up the imperial examination to win the hearts of scholars, not to offend them.
If this is the case, wouldn’t it be a time bomb that would harm the rule?
"Your Majesty—" At this time, the Archery Department and the Imperial City Department also rushed over. Wu Qing and Li Anguo lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
"This matter is of great importance. You should investigate it in private. You must not make it public. You must verify it carefully. A group of scholars cannot neglect it!"
Li Jia seriously ordered that if this matter is not done well, it will affect the reputation of the Tang Dynasty and the reputation of Emperor Shenwu.
"No—" the two agreed quickly and left impatiently.
"Come here, take all the examiners into custody. If you don't investigate clearly, they won't be released!"
"Your Majesty, there is a prime minister inside!"
