Li Wangyou nodded, and introduced them: "That's right, this is Shangguanyi, the head of the Jinshi Division of the Jinke, and this is Liu Rengui, No. 3 of the Jinshi Division of the Jinke. Shangguanyi, Liu Rengui, these two are you Brother Yan Liben and Ma Zhou, the four of you should get closer to each other from now on."

"Shangguanyi and Liu Rengui have met the two senior brothers."

"Hello, two juniors. The two juniors are really talented. It is not easy for Ke Chunwei, a Jinshi in the current department, to be able to pass the exam and No. 3. I am ashamed to say that both seniors have participated in Chunwei, haha , What a pity." Yan Liben laughed loudly.

Although he and Ma Zhou are both officials now, they did not enter the official career through the imperial examination. This is a small regret for Yan Liben and Ma Zhou.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was still in its infancy, and the nine-rank Zhongzheng system was still prevailing.

The so-called nine-rank Zhongzheng system refers to the talent survey form issued by the court, which divides talents into nine grades, namely upper-upper, upper-middle, upper-lower, middle-upper, middle-middle, middle-lower, lower-upper, lower-middle, and lower-lower .

This talent survey form is filled out by local government officials.

Regardless of whether you are an official or not, it is registered on it. The annual loan is recorded in detail in the table, and the rank is divided, and comments are added. The Ministry of Officials promotes and dismisses officials based on this.

The nine-rank Zhongzheng system is an important means for the aristocratic family to control the court. Under this system, there are no low-ranking people in the top rank, but the aristocratic family is growing stronger.

Therefore, the purpose of launching the imperial examination in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was to restrain the power of aristocratic families, strengthen the centralization of power, and give poor students a channel and space for promotion.

However, the imperial examinations in the early Tang Dynasty belonged to the grass-roots creation after all, and the system in all aspects was not perfect. Therefore, after being favored by Li Er, like Ma Zhou, he could reach the sky in one step. history.

Shangguanyi and Liu Rengui naturally bowed to Ma Zhou and Yan Liben's praise.Although they also worshiped Li Wangyou as their teacher now, and now they are Jinshi in Chunwei, but they are still in vain after all.

Faced with Yan Liben, a court official who will serve as a young prisoner, and Ma Zhou, a servant of the censor, he still seemed a little embarrassed.

Ma Zhou smiled and said to Li Wangyou: "Master, you have accepted two more juniors. There are six of us classmates. Shouldn't this name be changed?"

Li Wangyou was taken aback, not understanding what Ma Zhou meant.

Ma Zhou continued to wink and said: "Master, it seems that I am the first person to apprentice? Should I be a senior brother?"

What he said immediately made Yan Liben so angry that he almost fought desperately with him, this guy was simply taking advantage of him.

Different from martial arts novels, according to the order of entry, they are called big brother, second brother and so on.

Literati apprentices, classmates and classmates are all friends of the same generation, and the title of "big brother" is a respectful name for the elderly and talented.

Generally speaking, the status of a big brother is second only to the teacher.

Ma Zhou shamelessly said that he was a big brother, wasn't that just taking advantage of them, saying that he was only tall because of his age?

Of course, what Ma Zhou said was purely in jest.He and Yan Liben have studied with Li Wangyou for nearly a year, and their relationship is quite close.

Yan Liben did not show any weakness, and immediately pointed at Ma Zhou, and said to Shangguanyi and Liu Rengui: "You two students, do you know that among the disciples of the master, Ma Zhou is said to be unique, do you know which one?"

Shangguanyi and Liu Rengui looked at each other, not knowing why, they could only shake their heads.

Yan Liben laughed loudly and said: "This man has a thick skin and is unparalleled in the world, he is truly unique!"

Li Wangyou and the others burst out laughing when they heard the words, Shangguanyi and Liu Rengui also twitched their faces, they couldn't stop laughing, they just cared about Ma Zhou's face, it was the first time they met today, they didn't dare to be presumptuous, they didn't dare to laugh out loud Come.

"Yan Liben! I swear against you! Drinking wine today, you should pay for it!" Ma Zhou laughed and scolded, which caused everyone to burst into laughter...

729 multiple choice questions

After everyone was talking and laughing, Li Wangyou looked at the group of failed students who had packed the Imperial College, and said with a smile, "Everyone, you come to the Imperial College today, but do you intend to teach at the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty?"

Everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Of course! I heard that Mr. is recruiting doctors and teaching assistants in the academy, so I came here to apply."

Li Wangyou nodded: "Okay! I believe everyone has heard about it. I will recommend all doctors and teaching assistants who enter the academy to teach in the next spring. In addition, the academy includes board and lodging, and there are three times a month. I will also I invite the Great Confucianism of the court to go to the academy to give lectures to you, are you satisfied with this?"

Hearing Li Wangyou's promise in person, the students who were skeptical before, no longer have any doubts, and bowed down again.

"Students understand, thank you sir."

"Satisfied, naturally quite satisfied, thank you sir for your kindness."

Li Wangyou waited for everyone to be quiet, and said again: "However, the academy only recruits about a hundred doctors and teaching assistants this year, so we need to do a small test to select suitable candidates for the academy. I have prepared an exam paper for you all. Now, you can follow the arrangement of the Imperial College and go to the school to answer the questions. The academy will select the best according to the results of your answers. "

"No, the students obey."

Students need to take an exam to enter the academy, which is naturally clear to all the students.

After the rankings were released today, there were thousands of failed candidates, and even those who came to the Imperial College to try their luck, there were as many as two to three thousand.Since the academy only plans to recruit about a hundred people, it naturally needs an exam.

Everyone was mentally prepared for this and did not resist it.

Immediately after Li Wangyou gave the order, the servants in the Imperial College stepped forward, led these students to sit in various schools of the Imperial College, and gave them paper, ink, pens and inkstones.

This made these students a little confused, why didn't they ask them what they were studying?In this school, except for the servants of the Imperial College, there is no invigilator, and they can't help talking and communicating... Looking at the chaotic school in front of them, everyone is confused. Is this really an exam?

Students who can pass the examinations of various states and counties and obtain the qualifications to participate in the Chang'an City Chunwei Imperial Examination are naturally among the top talents in the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone has studied hard for years or even decades, and has taken countless exams, big and small, but this is the first time they have encountered exams like today's academy.

Someone hastily grabbed the servant of the Imperial College and asked, "Excuse me, I am an examinee of the Mingshu Department. Why do I take the exam in the same school as their Mingshu, Mingjing, and Jinshi students? Could it be a mistake?"

Someone at the side immediately echoed: "That's right, why didn't anyone ask what we were taking the test for? Did everyone take the same test paper?"

The servant who was stopped immediately smiled and said: "Masters, don't panic, that's what the Hu County Boss ordered, and he just obeyed when he left. But the exam papers seem to be the same, and there is only one set of exam papers sent by the Hu County Boss. , there is no distinction."

The servant's answer immediately caused an explosion in the school, and all the students became noisy.

"How...how is this possible? I'm from Ming Suan, can I have the same examination paper as Jinshi? Is it Mathematics or Tie Jing Mo Yi?"

"That's right. I'm a book major. Shouldn't I be taking calligraphy?"

"I'm a medical student, and I don't know how to do arithmetic, calligraphy, or scriptures!"

He was so angry that he put down his pen and ink, turned around and was ready to go to the layman: "Absurd, really absurd, isn't Mr. playing tricks on me by doing this? This college exam, I won't take it!"

Someone at the side quickly stopped him, and tried to persuade him: "Brother, don't worry, wait until you read the test papers. As the founding county magistrate, sir, how could you make such a joke with us?"

"Yeah, let's take a look at the exam papers first. What kind of person is Xiao Shixian, how can she be so nonsense? There must be some mystery in it that I don't know."

In the Guozijian Academy, when two or three thousand students were making a fuss, in the Minglun Hall of the Guozijian, Kong Yingda and Xu Jingzong were also shaking their heads. No one knew what kind of medicine was sold in Li Wangyou's gourd.

So many students, regardless of subjects, are all sent to the school for exams. How can this be tested?

"Ziyou, what exactly is your exam? Why are there no subjects? How do you get a scholar?" Kong Yingda couldn't help asking.

Xu Jingzong on the side also nodded again and again, obviously he was also full of question marks.Even the few disciples of Li Wangyou, whether it is Ma Zhou, Yan Liben, Shangguanyi, Liu Rengui, are also unknown.

All the students learn differently. The Tang Chunwei Imperial Examination itself has more than 50 subjects. Now that so many students are mixed together for the exam, how can they take the exam?

Li Wangyou laughed, and asked Niu Wu to fetch a few exam papers that he had prepared, and handed them to everyone: "Mr. Kong, here are the exam papers. You can see it at a glance."

Kong Yingda and the others took the block-printed examination paper and looked up. After seeing the questions on it clearly, everyone in Minglun Hall was stunned...
