Chapter 222: The little expert who fanned the flames(2/2)
He said.
"What should I do? Just sit back and watch?"
Fang Xiaoru said angrily.
"This matter is easy. Even if Your Majesty chooses them as Jinshi, you have to pass the Competent Examination. If there is no one from Shanxi who can be selected by the Competent Examination, where will Your Majesty get the candidates?"
Huang Zicheng said with a smile.
"It's just that since I'm not from Shanxi, I'm afraid it's easy for Yang Feng to cause trouble."
Lu Yuanzhi reminded him.
"Then just don't take a Northerner."
Huang Zicheng said.
"There are many previous subjects, how can I not take any of them?"
Fang Xiaoru said in astonishment.
"The examination is based on ability. Those Northern Confucians who really rely on their ability will not be able to pass the exam. It's just because the examiner figured it out and knew that His Majesty wanted to save some face for the Northerners, so he gave them some in each subject. This time
Master Tantan only needs to mark the exams impartially. No matter whether it is north or south, only those with high talents will be selected. Even if others are dissatisfied, it is because they have not learned enough. They can go back and study for a few more years and take the exam again. Do you have to compete for the Jinshi when you clearly do not have the talent?
You have to be self-aware about the quota, and we didn’t mean not to take it, it’s just that’s all they did.”
Huang Zicheng said.
"Is there really no one here?"
Fang Xiaoru is still a little unsure.
"Brother Xigu, if you are worried about injustice, the worst thing you can do is go to Tantan Weng and help you read it together. We don't know who it is. If there are talented people from the north, they can still get it. Let's do things openly."
said his cousin.
Fang Xiaoru hesitated for a moment, then looked at the gate of Gongyuan. The monster was hugging Princess Hanshan and laughing shamelessly. For a moment, he couldn't help but burst into anger...
"I'm going to find Tan Tan Weng."
he said.
Then he left in a hurry.
Of course Yang Feng didn't know that his conspiracy had been realized...
He did it on purpose.
This Wang Di suddenly disappeared after the death of King Jin. It took him some time to find out that his identity was actually a civil servant. However, this was very consistent with the situation at that time. After all, it was considered a general mobilization of Shanxi gentry at that time. Zelu gentry
Although Lai Gong stopped him from taking Qingzhuang forward, he couldn't do nothing after all. It was still essential to send a representative with sufficient status.
Wang Fan's family is also a big landowner, and he is very smart. He is also a good judge. He has friendship with scholars from Taiyuan and other places, so he is suitable for contact.
Of course, these gentry are almost dying of regret now.
The land was forcibly divided.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang gave them some fame, it was of no use after all!
Even if we give them a civil servant, a few of them will be able to pass the examination, which means that industry and commerce will be liberalized, and we can still make up for them, otherwise the Shanxi gentry should run to jump into the Yellow River at this time.
As for now...
Of course he was here to light the fire.
In order to see the drama between the North and the South, he had to add fuel to the fire for both sides.
In fact, it should be fine if he doesn't add fuel to the fire.
To teach the northern officials and gentry a lesson is currently unanimous among the civil servants in the central and southern DPRK. After all, the results in Shanxi will inevitably arouse their jealousy. Of course, they are not jealous of the land allocated, but jealous of the liberalization of industry and commerce.
Especially officials from Fujian and Zhejiang can be described as envious, jealous, and hateful.
"The markings are all sealed, how do you know they can distinguish north from south?"
the little princess asked doubtfully.
"Is there any difference between my speech and Zhang Xianzong's?"
Yang Feng asked.
"Yes, you use words and the format of one sentence. In short, there are many. The same thing can be explained clearly by both of you, but the wording is probably 30 to 40% different. He can finish it in ten sentences, and it's still
As pleasing as the article is, you may end up with fifteen sentences, and there is no elegance at all."
said the little princess.
"Uh, is there such a big gap?"
Yang Feng said with some surprise.
"Master Zhang exports flowers, but you export grass or weeds."
Zhang Ying said contemptuously.
"So, since our speech is so different, why do you think that the northern literati can write articles as well as the southern literati who were taught by the same master? My choice of words and sentences is so different from Zhang Xianzong's, how do you think
Why do you think that Northern Confucian scholars, who have been separated from the South since the Jin Dynasty, can write articles with the same words and sentences as those in the South?"
Yang Feng said.
This thing is easy to distinguish.
Not to mention the North and the South, there are also different schools of Confucian scholars in the South, and the differences in writing styles are also very clear.
Not to mention a top scholar like Liu Sanwu, even ordinary scholars can distinguish the differences between the north and the south. At Liu Sanwu's level, one can clearly distinguish his master's inheritance by just reading an article.
It means nothing to him whether he should be named or not.
So this is how the Tang Bohu fraud case occurred.
He and Xu Jing, Xu Xiake's great-grandfather, frequently walked around with the examiner at that time, and never left empty-handed every time they went there. Later, when the examiner was marking papers, he took a copy of the paper to show off to his fellow examiners, saying that it must have been written by Tang Bohu. That examiner
He was reported immediately. Although Jin Yiwei's investigation found no clear bribery, and the paper was not actually Tang Bohu's, the emperor still ordered them to be imprisoned for life in order to convince the public, and they were not allowed to take the exam again for life.
Therefore, for the imperial examinations, it is not difficult for those experienced people to find out the people they want to admit from the sealed examination papers.
Especially in the later period, the imperial examination became aristocratic.
