In the fourth year of Yongxing, Dahua's second imperial examination came to an end.
When the final list was finalized, some controversy arose.
The overall performance of the number one scholar Wu Kezhang is not outstanding, and can only be regarded as the middle class of more than two hundred Jinshili.
However, he was appointed by the emperor as the champion.
Fortunately, this champion is one year older than Wu Changqing, otherwise there must be conspiracy theorists who suspect that this is the emperor's illegitimate son.
Even now, some people suspect that there is some kind of relative relationship between them, after all, their surnames are Wu.
Of course, for some well-informed people, it is easy to find out the three generations of Wu Kezhang's ancestors.
Obviously, Wu Kezhang and Wu Changqing are not related.
The reason why he was able to be the champion was purely because he had something that the emperor liked and had some outstanding talents.
The emperor, the eldest one, he said he wanted Wu Kezhang to be the champion. Although the others were dissatisfied, they could only hold back.
Fortunately, the starting point of the champion is not very high, that is, he went to the Department of Finance to report and received the sixth rank.
However, the start of others is even lower. The second place and Tanhua are both positive seventh grade. Most of the other top two start from the eighth grade, and only a few excellent people can be mixed with the seventh grade county magistrate.
Moreover, most of them are county magistrates in remote areas.
The magistrates of the upper counties in the Jiangnan area do not have their share.
With the stability of the political situation, the future promotion channel will be more difficult.
Now they can still mix up with a seventh-rank county magistrate, and I'm afraid they won't even be able to mix with the county magistrate when they wait for the next subject.
The speed at which officials retire is often unable to keep up with the speed of imperial examinations.
There are only so many official positions in the world, and the local government can still increase with territorial expansion, while the rate of increase in the official positions of the central government is much slower.
However, this is an inevitable trend in the development of a dynasty. Those who have been awarded the Jinshi know it well and have nothing to complain about.
At most, it means regretting that Wu Changqing didn't come over when he had an upset.
By now, everything is too late.
Among the jinshi admitted this time, there are two more special people.
One is a Korean and the other is a Manchu. The two were awarded the same jinshi background.
The same as Jinshi means that their performance is not enough to be admitted as Jinshi, but the emperor's grace has given them a background equivalent to Jinshi.
All are Jinshi, but the gap is still very large.
At least, they are all alternate officials now, they have to wait, and they have to wait until there are vacancies.
The reason for the admission of two ethnic minorities is to send a signal to those two ethnic groups, that is, Dahua treats them equally and does not bully and enslave them.
As long as you study hard, you can enjoy the same treatment as the Han people.
This attitude can appease the elites in those two ethnic groups.
Ordinary people of the two races still like to integrate into Dahua, because they have gained tangible benefits.
However, the interests of the original aristocracy and the elite of the two clans were greatly deprived.
These people must be dissatisfied with Dahua in their hearts.
The admission of candidates from the two ethnic groups as the same Jinshi is a kind of comfort and gives them a little hope of being an official.
Otherwise, these people will definitely be unwilling to do things again.
They do things like mosquitoes biting people. They can't hurt people, but they can be disgusting and unpleasant.
More mosquitoes will also affect the normal development of Dahua.
"Go to his mother's eight-part essay."
In a restaurant, a few failed candidates drank wine and spread drunkenness.
"Haha, Brother Liu also suffered this loss, I thought I was the only one who suffered."
Another candidate who failed the exam laughed at himself.
These people have discovered an amazing fact through researching the results of the admitted candidates.
That is, those people have extremely poor results in stereotyped essays.
One more important point is that this year's eight-legged articles are rated extremely strict.
In previous years, it was possible to get ninety points of eight-piece essays, but only sixty points for this subject.
The purpose is obviously that the court continues to suppress the weight of the eight-legged essay, and let those who specialize in the eight-legged essay fall off the list.
On the surface, eight-part essay is still as important as physical chemistry, but in fact, physical chemistry as long as you study hard and get a score of 95 points is more interesting.
But the eight-legged essay, no matter how well you write it, will last six to seventy points.
As a result, candidates who specialize in stereotyped essays suffer a dark loss.
There are no idiots who can participate in the national examination, and they can see clearly this little action of the court. Or, the court did not intend to hide it from them at all.
It is to use this distinction to force them to change their learning direction and learn more practical skills.
"I am also going to change my direction. I think economics should be the most popular at the moment. As long as the economics test is well done in the next subject, I will definitely be able to make an exception, just like the undergraduate champion."
Another candidate analyzed.
Economics is a newly added subject in this imperial examination, and it can be specially added by the court, which naturally shows that the court attaches great importance to it, or is very short of talents in this area.
Only by following the demands of the imperial court can the exams be cheaper.
Just like this time in the imperial examination, the number one in economics was only more than 80 points, and as a result, he was hired exceptionally.
The number one in other subjects is basically above 95, which is much more difficult.
"Maybe the weather vane in the next department will change again. Three years later, the court may have collected talents in this field."
"Impossible. The main way for the court to recruit talents is the imperial examination. The gap in economic talents is not so easy to fill, and the next subject will definitely be popular."
"In short, don't learn anything about stereotypes. This is the subject for stepmothers. Since your majesty started, he has been suppressed and never stopped. I heard that all official documents must be written in spoken and vernacular. , It’s not allowed to use the essay format of Zhenger Bajing."
"The world is getting worse."
.....
This group of losers who did not pass the exam would definitely have opinions on changes in the content and format of the imperial examination.
People, when they encounter failure, they instinctively like to look for external causes and shirk responsibility.
Of course, they will not admit that they are talented and inferior, but attributed to the court's partiality.
Every time in the imperial examination, someone would shout injustice, and no one would care too much about it.
Many people shouted, in fact, it is an explanation to the fathers and villagers in their hometown.
After all, those elders and fellow villagers worked hard for them to study, and they didn't get admitted and had no face to face those people.
However, shouting an injustice can resolve this embarrassment.
They can deal with their fathers and villagers. It's not that they don't work hard and have no talent to learn, but the court is unfair.
It is precisely for this reason that even if they shout injustice, or even shout that someone is cheating for personal gains, officials in the government will not teach them and let them shout.
Anyway, they couldn't make any waves before, and now they are even more useless.
There is a high probability that after shouting, he will hide in a corner, continue to study hard, and change direction by the way.
If you can't change the court, you can only change yourself.
