The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

71. The first case of government examination

The girl on Wednesday looks like Xiaojiabiyu, with a tender white oval face, two buns, and a lock of black shiny hair hanging in front of her forehead. She is thin and frail. read

М was wearing blue satin trimmed with wide-rimmed satin trousers, with an orange ribbon on the skirt, hanging on the shoulders. The skirt and trouser legs were all black embroidered flowers. On the boat, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing half of his white wrist. Come.

As the daughter of a wealthy family in the countryside, although she is pampered and well-off, she is not stuck in the front door or the second door.

In handling a boat, he is no less capable than several men.

They rented this boat, which can accommodate about seven or eight people. It is also very spacious when sitting on the boat.

On the boat, Miss Zhou Zhou also revealed some feelings to Bai Gui overtly and secretly, but when Bai Gui didn't reply, she stopped pestering her and was generous.

"There are tens of millions of people in Chang'an, and they all have their own camps when they go out. But my master and I walk leisurely on horseback. When we reach the head of Qujiang River, the grass and trees are reflected brightly. The color of Nanshan is so beautiful..."

How can you visit Qujiang Pool without reciting Qujiang poems?

This poem is a poem by Bai Juyi.

"When the lotus leaves are growing, spring hates them; when the lotus leaves wither, autumn hates them..."

Someone else recited a poem by Du Mu, with a bitter taste in his mouth as he recited the poem.

This is a person who does not succeed in the imperial examination.

There is a Qujiang Banquet in Qujiang Pool, which was the banquet held in Qujiang Pool after the imperial examinations were released in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, scholars who had passed the imperial examinations, no matter they were in a good mood or in a bad mood, would go to Qujiang Pond to seek good luck and to relieve their worries.

In the Tang Dynasty, the list of new scholars was released before the Shangsi Festival. The Shangsi Festival fell on March 3rd. It was very prosperous from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. This day was also the legal day of rest. Therefore, the emperor often gave banquets, which were usually held in the royal garden of Qujiang Pool. Over time, they became associated with the Qujiang Banquet. Later, the Song Dynasty had the Qionglin Banquet, which was similar to the Qujiang Banquet, except that the Qionglin Banquet was Lin Yan's name has been passed down.

Visiting Qujiang Banquet is a good sign.

However, this trip to Qujiang completely made Miss Zhou Zhou give up. At the subsequent class reunions, she also came less often, and she no longer had to come every time.

The next day, the government tried to launch the case.

Early that morning, three classmates came to watch the results release with him.

Just like the county examination, it is crowded, crowded, and no one is immune. This result is related to your future future, and it is not just an exam.

When Bai Gui and three classmates arrived, the list was already hanging high. It was still the same as the county examination. The seat number was written instead of the name. It was also divided into the main list and the deputy list. The main list was Tuan case, the deputy list is for Confucian students who are qualified to take the next examination.

Only fifty people will be taken for the group case!

In other words, these fifty Confucian students selected from each county were selected through competition, almost twenty to one, before anyone could advance to the next exam.

Bai Gui also saw the Confucian scholars in Zishui County who laughed at his auspicious case. They were standing there with their heads downcast. They had obviously failed the exam. Not only were they not admitted to the main list, but they were also not admitted to the deputy list.

"The head of the case..., I am the head of the case..."

He squeezed in and saw that his seat number was in the first place. He felt his mind empty all of a sudden. He was so excited that it was difficult to maintain a calm mind. The head of the case, this is the head of the case, he will definitely be taken. Among them, he has the reputation of being a scholar.

But he still bit his lip and did not speak.

Otherwise, these jealous candidates wouldn't know what to do to him. It would be bad if anyone tried to make a secret move in this crowded time.

"It's over, no admission..."

Zhou Yuan and the others were almost completely wiped out. Only Zhou Yuan was still on the list, but he was also at the bottom of the list.

Others were depressed, but they had expected it and quickly picked up their mood.

It's just that when they saw Bai Gui's excitement, they had some guesses in their hearts, but they were not sure. If they were just admitted, they wouldn't be so excited, because the county head was a sure winner, so there was only one possibility...

Zhou Yuan and the others winked and quickly dragged the excited Bai Gui out of the crowd.

Go to a place with few people.

Bai Gui also slowly recovered, and he patted the courtyard wall of an alleyway with excitement, his palms aching slightly. He looked at the three of them and said: "I am the leader of the case, and I am the leader of the case... "

From the time he entered Bailu Village to the present, he has been tensing up and studying hard all the time, walking on thin ice and never relaxing for a moment. This time, at the head of the government examination, the title of scholar is within easy reach. It can be said that his first goal has been basically accomplished...

How can you not be excited!

How can you not be happy!

"Brother Bai, I didn't expect how hard it was for you to hide it from us!" Zhou Yuan also smiled. Although there was a hint of disappointment in his heart, it was a happy day for his friend, and he couldn't let it down.

He and Bai Gui have lived together, but he knows Bai Gui's hard work best. There is nothing to be jealous of. Bai Gui is also extremely righteous and values ​​​​benevolence and righteousness. If he becomes rich, he will not forget his classmates.

"Congratulations to Brother Bai for being the first in the case!"

Several people raised their hands in congratulations.

"Joining the joy! Rejoicing together!"

Bai Gui quickly returned the gift and calmed down a bit.

After the results of the first main examination were announced, the next day was followed by the re-examination. The questions this time were the Four Books and Five Classics questions from the original imperial examination, which was also a relatively important test.

It's just that in this exam, the candidates who can be admitted to the group case basically do the eight-part general meeting. Even if they don't do well, they won't be too bad, and they won't be dismissed.

The third test is interesting, it is the judgment.

In the Tang Dynasty, the selection tests for the imperial examinations were body, speech, calligraphy, and judgment. Shen refers to the correct physical appearance, speech refers to the clear language, writing refers to neat and beautiful handwriting, and judgment refers to judgment. ability.

Ancient law was governed by humans. Even if there were written laws, cases and punishments had to be decided in accordance with secular morality.

The question asked is: "How should we punish our neighbors for stealing cattle and returning their cultivated land?"

"Old" refers to a man who is already in his seventies or eighties.

A neighbor in his late teens stole cattle, plowed the land, and later returned the cattle. How should he be punished in this case?

The law requires fifty lashes for stealing private property, but this man of seventy or eighty years old will definitely not be able to bear it.

And it is also used for farm work.

This question can only answer the question of how much food and property should be punished to the neighbor, but it cannot ask any questions about guilt. Asking for guilt violates secular morality.

This question only requires a reasonable answer. It does not require how fair your judgment is. The optimal answer is to give each person fifty answers. It is unethical to ask your neighbor why he didn't lend him the cow so that he had to steal it, and the neighbor can only be punished with some property...

The three government examinations ended like this.

When Bai Gui came out of Longmen, he heard someone talking about his neighbor's cattle theft. What surprised him was that some people thought this question was a bit difficult to solve and it was making things difficult for them.

He shook his head, ignored it, and walked away.
