Chapter 496 Sue the anti-fashion candidates...
There is only more than half a month until the imperial examination, and the candidates who came early have already arrived in Kyoto.
Recently, the number of people in Kyoto has increased significantly...
And the news that Wang Kang was appointed as the chief official of the imperial examination and presided over the imperial examination matters gradually spread.
Only after people know and understand each other can they know who this chief official is!
The prodigal young man from the Earl of Fuyang's Mansion in Yangzhou is still young and has never taken any scientific examination, or even experienced the provincial examination...
For a moment, everyone felt an unprecedented sense of absurdity!
The chief official of the imperial examination is not only responsible for presiding over affairs, but also has great significance!
Generally speaking, under whoever is in charge, candidates who take part in the imperial examination will be treated as teachers.
Why is it said that today’s candidates are all disciples of the emperor?
Because there is a palace examination, the emperor is the examiner.
This principle is the same, something like this happened earlier,
At that time, every year's imperial examination was presided over by the prime minister of the dynasty. The candidates who took the exams at that time, even his disciples, over the years,
A series of political parties were formed, and the cholera policy... From then on, in order to avoid such things from happening,
Presiding over the imperial examinations will be rotated.
Generally, the prince or prince will take charge of the arrest.
All these are enough to show that this imperial examination chief is of great significance to the candidates.
No wonder they are rebellious,
This situation is like an ignorant child teaching a learned Confucian how to read.
A person who can only crawl, but teaches others how to run,
How can this be accepted? No one can accept it.
The students who went to Beijing to take exams were very vocal in their opposition.
And in the morning,
Governor of Xishan Province, Marquis of Xuanping Zhang Ao,
Governor of Weiyuan Province, Marquis of Yangling Wucheng,
Governor of Northern Xinjiang Province, Yi Qinghou Liu Zhang,
They all sent memorials and petitions to all prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction. The trend of bà kǎo was rising and became more and more intense!
Obviously, the biggest impact of Wang Kang's appointment as official is just the beginning!
Candidate bà kǎo, the scientific examination is not worthy of its name and is in name only!
"This is just a joke. I have been studying hard for a long time, and I have passed the provincial examination and the state examination. Now when it comes to the provincial examination, it has become like this. It is actually hosted by an unknown person with weak qualifications!"
In a school building, many candidates who went to Beijing to take the exam gathered here to talk.
At this time, a handsome, thin-tongued young man raised his eyebrows and said, "Unknown? You don't know, but he is very famous."
"I heard that Wang Kang came from the Earl's Mansion of Fuyang in Yangzhou. Brother Dong Qian is from Yangzhou, so he must know something about it."
"Of course I understand,"
It turned out that this man was Dong Qian, the son of Yangzhou Governor Dong Yiwu!
He can also be regarded as Wang Kang’s old friend. Of course, this old friend must be put in quotation marks.
He originally passed the state examination and was also elected. With the help of his father, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Anyi County.
Anyi County is adjacent to Xinfeng City. This is also the first time he wants to cause trouble to Wang Kang.
But I didn't expect that under Wang Kang's management, Xinfeng City would gradually develop from a barren land, attracting urban residents from Anyi County to settle there.
In comparison, Dong Qian’s political performance was a mess.
But Wang Kang has already come to Kyoto,
His thought was not going to work if this continued, and the gap between him and Wang Kang would become wider and wider in the future, so he resigned from office and took part in the provincial examination as a juren.
Dong Yiwu also thought it was feasible.
He is already crippled, and his son cannot be hopeless. The father and son hit it off immediately.
So I came to Kyoto, and if I spent more money to find connections, I might be able to stay in Kyoto.
There is still a chance to make a comeback,
Dong Qian said coldly: "This Wang Kang has a great reputation in Yangzhou. This son is known as a prodigal and a playboy."
"Forcibly rob the women of the people, bully the people, and do all kinds of evil,"
"ah,"
Hearing this, people were shocked and asked, "Could that rumor be true?"
"Of course it's true, I'm the victim,"
Next to Dong Qian, a person came up to him. This person was also an old acquaintance. It was Liu Cheng who had repeatedly opposed Wang Kang but was ruined by Wang Kang.
He finally achieved his goal and became close to Dong Qian, becoming the person around him.
But now the Dong family is not as good as before!
"This guy can't read the word Dou, and he wants to reform the imperial examination system. He knows nothing."
Liu Cheng was furious. This was pure slander. Others didn't know Wang Kang's talent, but he didn't know it either?
The two exchanged bad words from time to time, which made the candidates who did not understand the details feel angry.
"It's useless for us to talk here. We need to find someone to give us advice."
"right,"
Such things happened everywhere, and soon a wave of rebellion began!
When Wang Kang knew about this, he held a banquet, and Fang Xiaolian and other officials involved in the imperial examination also knew about it.
In Yushu Pavilion, everyone gathered here, worried.
Candidate bà kǎo, this is the first time in the history of Zhao State!
The imperial examination is the way to become an official. Since you choose this path, you will naturally go on.
But now something like this happened!
Of course, they also understand the reason and can empathize with it.
If they were candidates, they might also be confused. How could they accept that Wang Kang was the chief official?
But now they understand that, apart from his qualifications, Wang Kang’s ability is more than adequate.
"what to do?"
"The epidemic situation in various places is very serious. As the organizer, we cannot remain indifferent and let it ferment!"
Fang Xiaolian said solemnly: "If all the candidates are bà kǎo, then why do we need to reform the system? It's just nonsense!"
"This is such a big deal,"
At this time, a bachelor's degree attendant whispered: "To untie the bell, you still need someone to tie it!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Wang Kang, and they all understood the meaning.
The appeals and objections of the candidates are all on Wang Kang. Only by deposing him can they be quelled.
"It's better than this,"
Tang Bu said in a deep voice: "Let's go to His Majesty and change the chief officer. Of course, I don't mean to ban Wang Kang. I mean to change his position so that he can participate in the imperial examination."
"I'm afraid it won't work!"
Ji Ning said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, despite the objections of all the ministers, appointed Wang Kang as the official, he has a tough attitude."
"The imperial edict was issued yesterday, but it is withdrawn today, and the order is changed overnight. Where is the authority of His Majesty?"
"What's more, there is no compromise on this matter. This hole cannot be opened. If it is opened, it means that His Majesty's decision-making is wrong. The court..."
"What should we do?"
What Ji Ning said is indeed reasonable and true.
My thoughts are fruitless, there is no solution at all,
"If it is not dealt with, how will the imperial examination proceed?"
"Proceed as usual!"
At this time, Wang Kang said: "They are accustomed to posting announcements in my name. The imperial examination will proceed as usual. If one person participates, only one person will be tested."
"The fewer people take the exam and the smaller the competition, I don't believe that none of them can come!"
Seeing Wang Kang's expression of serious eyes and gritted teeth, everyone was shocked. This man is really a ruthless person!
But just as they were still in shock, a palace guard came and
"His Majesty has decreed that the imperial examinations will proceed as usual..."
Hearing this, everyone was even more shocked. His Majesty and Wang Kang had the same ideas...
