If you are admitted by the general examination, you can be called a tribute.
When the scholars take part in the palace examination, only the ranking is considered, and they are no longer eliminated. If the gold list is released, they will be regarded as new Jinshi. Jen 6]
As early as the Ming Dynasty, stereotyped essays were not taken in the imperial examination. Instead, give questions that suit the current situation and ask the scholars to write policy countermeasures. For example, it happened that the peasants were revolting, so I asked the candidates
How to calm the chaos. Or the national treasury is empty, ask the candidates how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Ren 3
Looking at an emperor's champion roll, one can know the changes in the current situation of the dynasty.
Take Jiajing as an example.
The first palace examination discusses how to carry out reforms.
The second palace examination discusses how to implement the kingly way so that the world will be full of soldiers and food.
The third palace examination discusses how to protect the country and the people.
The fourth palace examination discusses how to face natural disasters and make the people have enough food and clothing.
? In the tenth palace examination, I (ascended the throne) for 29 years. I have always worshiped God, worked diligently and cared for the people. How come there are constant border troubles, early disasters, Miao uprisings, and people's livelihood suffering?
Is it because my sincerity is not enough? Candidates are asked to discuss how to stop corvee labor, stabilize the border, subside civil strife, prosper the people, and prosper all industries.

Compared with the early years of Jiajing, the palace examination questions at this time have changed greatly in style, and there is a sense of emperor's resentment in the questions. Jen 6]
In the next few palace exams, Jiajing has gradually become hysterical:
"I, the emperor, should be competent. Why are the ministers lying and slandering the emperor and the people? Candidates, come and explain the truth.
{15]
"The emperor regards the ministers as his confidantes, but the ministers regard the emperor as an enemy. As an emperor, I really have no knowledge of people, and I can appoint talented people as officials. Those candidates, watching
Zhe Qing, should be able to give you the answer. It¡¯s a lie, let me tell you slowly!¡¯
"Before you came to the throne, you were a good emperor with all your heart and soul. You worked hard and cared for the people. Now, there are successive years of disasters, hunger and cold among the people, endless border troubles, and uprisings everywhere. How can you do that?
Can you let the ministers be of one mind with you, so that the monarch and ministers can govern the country together?
11]
"You promulgate various edicts, and the ministers are earnestly implementing them, and they seem to be very obedient. But you sloppy investigation and found that they are all fake. Did the politicians really comfort the people, and did the policymakers
Really good time. Those who claim to be benevolent and caring for the people, but cruel to the people, let me take the blame. A famous official who is well-known in the sky, but has no integrity at all. Is it really not that difficult to make the people respect and love the emperor?
?In ancient times, people were rewarded, and the people listened to the emperor. It is to intimidate the people, and the people also fear the emperor. Why is it that today's scholar-officials can govern the country like this?
Like? I want to solve that problem, but the problem is under the officials, and the candidates are slow to tell you what to do?" 7]
In the first few palace examinations of the Jiajing Dynasty, it can be seen from the examination questions that the separation between the monarch and his subjects has not been very slight, and whether the emperor has the slightest trust in his ministers. Jen 8
The eldest son gave questions for the palace examination, and the content was occasionally terse, just a bunch of nonsense.
? For this palace examination, there is only one line in the title: "Try to discuss the king of Jin entrusting the country to Tianzhu."
In the past, the ministers drafted the bottom eight and read all the papers for the bottom ten to the emperor. From the end of the next palace examination, Xiaochen will be deprived of the qualification to be selected as the last eight, and will have to
The papers for the last seventeen students are ready.
[2]
The eldest son also didn't let us read it, but spread out the answer sheet to read it by himself.
The first place, Zhao Kuangping, is from Luling County, Jiangxi Province.
"Minister to: The king of Jin entrusted the country to Tianzhu, and this son of heaven divided the heavens¡ªthere was no heaven in Zhou Dynasty, and the earth was divided, and there were seven classes, and the princes rose."
"When the world rises today, the earth will disappear, and the other side of the small ocean will disappear. The four states today are like the middle land in Zhou Dynasty. The seven barbarians today have not changed: the northern barbarians are Rakshasa. The eastern barbarians are beautiful.
Zhou also. Southern barbarians, Nanyang also. Xirong, Europe, Persia, Tianzhu, and the Western Regions are
"At the time of the eight kings, there were grass and trees, towers, and beasts everywhere, and people were able to fight. People pretended to be things, but they kept the skins, feathers and scales of the crowd, and built walls with soil. The people of the country lived inside.
System, the feudal four states, the king lands in the sky, so there is no Shang Zhou to talk about Huaxia benevolence 6
"The prefectures and counties were established in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the theories of the philosophers were abolished. The counties and counties were divided into feudal dynasties, and the country was turned into a county, and the governors were replaced by princes. The chaos of princes and marquises can be changed; the disease of the people of the country can be cured;
If you disobey, you will be swept away. The country is unified, and the resurrection of the saint can also be changed
"Why are the prefectures and counties distributed on behalf of each other? Today's holy emperor, why is the policy of distribution again? The world has changed and time has changed!" Ren 2]
"In the eight generations, a country is more than a hundred miles away, and the transportation is difficult.??Examination papers will also be published on the dissemination day of "Xiaotong Monthly"
superior.
After thinking for a while, Zongzi said: "In the last issue of "Xiaotong Monthly", one less edition was printed, and seven palace examination articles were published. In addition to the one-A answer sheet, the articles by Liu Zongdao and Zou Huaiyu were also included.
The column recedes. "
The posting of the gold list caused a sensation again.
The main reason is that the first male retired soldier in the court actually got the 17th place in the exam, so how many daughters would be ashamed?
However, we wanted to find the ranking of King Chu, but found that there was no ranking at all.
?In order to take care of Chen Chun in the areas where the imperial examinations were backward, and to prevent officials from forming cliques for personal gain, the eldest son also followed Xiaoming to formulate the eight rankings in the north and south
? Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Jinling Prefectures, one of the seven provinces is the Nanbang, and the proportion of retired soldiers accounts for 55%
?The four provinces of Qichuan, Anhui, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangnan, Hunan, and Hubei are on the list, and the proportion of retired scholars is 35.
?The rest of the provinces are all on the North List, with a retirement ratio of 10. { 14]
?I want to feel that the candidates in the North List are too wronged. If the admission is divided into separate lists, we can even reach the ratio of 10!
?The real grievance is Nanbang Chen Chun, who seems to occupy 55, but in fact is involuntary like purgatory. On the other hand, Quang Nam Province was recovered late, and there are still elementary schools to be established in the future. Candidates in that province are mainly the children of immigrants. They usually study in elementary schools in Guangxi and Yunnan, and a quota has been specially set up for Guangnan Province.
The general examination will be withdrawn from the examination room according to the province, and the admission will be withdrawn according to the quota ratio, but all the candidates from all over the country are withdrawn.
However, the results of the palace examination are divided into lists, and the whole country treats them equally.
Of the last 70 in the palace examination, Chen Chun in the South Ranking ranked 70th, He Bo in the Middle Ranking ranked 26th, and Chen Chun in the Northern Ranking was only a pitiful 4th.
Pu Songling's northern leader, Chen Chun, was among the top seven in the northern provinces, but he only came in seventy-fourth.
