Although the story is ridiculous, Zhao Bing also knows that this is also a helplessness of being an emperor, especially for an emperor with low cultural literacy. You should know that being able to stand out from the exams shows that the gap between knowledge and writing level is already very small. This really makes people feel embarrassed. It is really difficult to find the level of scholars from the lines of several articles. What can I do without some small means?

The reason why Zhao Kuangyin used the speed of handing in papers to judge the level of the tribute scholars is also some reason. Fast handing in papers at least means that this person is quick-witted, quick-responsive, and flexible in mind. In the future, he will not be able to do anything bad in the court and local governments. But this also leaves loopholes for people to learn from. Therefore, after three consecutive terms of "every advanced tester is given the first person to pass the exam", everyone found a way to take advantage of the opportunity, which is like Xiao Li's flying knife - only the speed is not broken.

So if the superiors have something to like, the subordinates will have to write the composition quickly. Since everyone is competing with the papers, the composition must be written quickly. As a result, the popular fast composition is popular among the people. It is unknown whether there is a fast composition training, but there is indeed a fast composition competition. Zhao Kuangyin occasionally held a fast poetry competition, and the winner can also be selected by the court. For example, there is a project called "Writing a Hundred Poems in a Day". A Zhao Changguo took the exam with confidence, but from morning to night, he wrote twenty or thirty articles, and the quality was really careless. Song Taizu actually barely accepted him.

However, there were times when there was a mistake when it was not broken. When something happened to Taizong's dynasty came into trouble. The scholar Li Shuji was always famous among the people for his writing. He thought that he would have insurance for his exams in this way. Unexpectedly, one year after the emperor changed, his appetite naturally changed. Let's talk about Li Shuji being the first to hand in the exam paper in the exam room. Unexpectedly, Taizong thought that this person was too frivolous and scolded him and rushed out. However, the classmate Sun He who frowned and thought hard and was reluctant to hand in the paper was the top scorer.

What's going on with this mutation? It turned out that a minister named Chen Jing made a report that Li Shuji held a quick composition competition in a cake shop, which made everyone think that speed is beautiful, and ignored the literary talent and theoretical level of composition, which would lead to a decline in the level over time. Chen Jing was Sun He's friend. So Li Shuji was unlucky. He might have been the top scorer and didn't even win the Jinshi. After many years, when the court almost forgot about this, Li Shuji passed the Jinshi.

Zhao Bing remembered that there were many such things in later generations. Later, the Ming Dynasty once decided who was the top scholar based on his appearance. Once, Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty looked at who wrote good words, while Cixi won the top scholar based on whether the name was suitable for her taste. This seemingly cute thing was the sadness of many scholars. Not only did she have to have knowledge, but she also had to look at the emperor's hobbies. When she met an emperor who did not follow the rules, she had to compete for character and luck. She was so gentle that she swept the floor, stepped on the ground and rubbed her face again.

What the scholars of the Song Dynasty never expected was that the current emperor learned the imperial examination system while teasing with his concubines and saw through the essence of it. In fact, for most emperors, it was a game, and there were any rules. Even if there were rules, what could it be, it could still be broken and modified, but it was not static. Not only the content, time, and even the system could be changed. As for how to change, it depends on the emperor's mood and what he wanted to do!

In addition, there is another detail that subverts Zhao Bing's deep-rooted concept over the years. It can also be said that it was harmed by the film and television directors and unscrupulous screenwriters of historical idiots. He just realized that the Song Dynasty had no scholars. When the scholar said that he was a scholar who came to assist the "scholar" in the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty, it was a subject that was even more powerful than the Jinshi.

The subsequent Ming and Qing dynasties included the three examinations of the county government, the provincial examination, the imperial examination, and the palace examination, including the five levels of scholars, including Tongsheng, scholar, juren, tribute, and Jinshi. Among them, although Tongsheng was not formally fame, he had to pass the county government's two examinations to obtain this status. He could also call himself a "student" in society and would not kneel down when he saw an official. However, the status of the scholar was far inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty. He could not enter the official position, but he had obtained the qualification for the exam. If he failed the exam, he could only be a slasher or a tutor.

In addition, there were also Tongsheng and Boys in the Song Dynasty, but they were completely different. Boys in the Song Dynasty were not "often selected", but more like choosing a "prodigy". Whenever a smart prodigy was found in various places, they immediately recommended it to the court, and the court entrusts relevant departments to take the exam. The palace examination in the Song Dynasty had become a permanent system, so the emperor often had one of the boy examinations in the end. In addition to meeting the prodigy, the more important purpose was to encourage scholars to learn.

Therefore, the rise and fall of the boy test and the number and frequency of recommended prodigy to the court in various places actually depends on the interests of the incumbent emperors. The emperor may use prodigy to test contemporary Confucianism to be a trend, and the world is ruled, or use this to guide contemporary political and cultural construction. The number of prodigy recommended in various places has increased significantly and the frequency has increased significantly, but this can only be regarded as a "special move" and has never been included in the list of regular selections. There will be great differences in future generations.

In addition, the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty were only three levels: provincial examinations and palace examinations presided over by the prefecture, and provincial examinations presided over by the Ministry of Rites. However, anyone who meets the requirements can take the first-level examination of the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty - the imperial examinations. However, the examinations have a shelf life, which means that the reputation of the juren is a one-time job. If the provincial examinations are not passed, the examinations must start from the examinations. Under normal circumstances, the shelf life is three years. Unlike later generations who have passed, they can be a juren for a lifetime.

Zhao Bing soon discovered something that made him regret. He prevented cheating in the "national examination". Since the examination system was established, the struggle has not stopped for thousands of years, especially when he was trying his best to participate in it. In this era, there were already systems such as verification of identity, name missing, and transcription, and other systems, there was also the practice of "locking the sleep".

The system of slimming off-campus system is to prevent examiners from leaking test questions and colluding with candidates inside and outside. After determining the chief examiner and all officials, these people cannot go home and go directly to the tribute court to avoid requests. That is, they are locked up and isolated from the world, and can only be released until the exam is completed, which is like being under house arrest.

What Zhao Bing regretted was that after announcing the examination at the court meeting that day, he did not immediately "lock up" Ying Jieyan and Liu Fu, but kept participating in the collective discussion. If they had not opposed it, he might have been riding on a warship on the sea and fighting with the enemy, so why bother with these idiots? But now everything is too late. It must be that the old man informed the empress dowager that the empress dowager would let his wives watch over his words.

Thinking of this, Zhao Bing broke out in a cold sweat, not knowing how these wives would treat him. He felt that every man who had watched "The Deer and the Cauldron" in his previous life would enjoy all the blessings of Wei Xiaobao and envious of being sleepy with his wives unless he had any problems. But when it was really his turn, he became a little courageous.

The palace is very strict and has many rules and regulations. Of course, there are rules to manage sexual intercourse. In theory, the emperor can be grateful to every woman in his harem, but in fact it is not a simple matter. Because this kind of thing not only affects the emperor's happiness, but also the reproduction of his descendants, a strict system was also formulated.

In the Central Plains dynasties, they all paid attention to etiquette and law, and the "Li of Zhou" was also inherited by later generations. The Book of Rites recorded that the system of concubines in the Zhou Dynasty was: "The emperor established six palaces, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives in the family, and eighty-one wife." In other words, the emperor had 126 wives of various levels and names. With this so-called system of concubines, the emperors naturally enjoyed it and passed on this unreasonable thing from generation to generation.

However, in the Zhou Dynasty, there was no position in charge of the eunuchs in charge of the house. The emperor's sexual intercourse was determined by the sun, moon, stars, and dragons. The people of Zhou liked to conform to the laws of heaven, and liked to decide the order according to the celestial bodies, yin and yang, and calendars. The order in which concubines and emperors had to be bedridden according to the moon's phases.

As the saying goes, according to the moon's phases, we must first figure out that the moon will gradually fill the first fifteenth day of the first to fifteenth day of the lunar calendar every month, and the day after fifteenth to thirtyth will gradually become short. From this, it is inferred that from the first to fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the favored object will be from the lower status to the higher status; and from the second half of the 15th to thirtyth, the opposite is true, from the higher status to the lower status, which means that the emperor has the obligation to satisfy all his wives.

Many emperors of all dynasties were still dissatisfied and were constantly expanding their inner palace. By the Tang Dynasty, the Daming Palace was built, which was large in scale, three times that of the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. When the place was large, there would naturally be more people inside. In other dynasties, there were "three thousand beauties in the harem", and the number of people in the Tang Dynasty reached an astonishing tens of thousands of beauties. In order to manage such a huge "deputy army", the Tang Dynasty implemented a rank system, with a total of eight levels, which was similar to the management model of officials.

In this way, the rules are more clear and detailed. The queen is the mother of the country, and is as unique as the emperor, and there is no need to be included in the rank system. The meaning of a lady entering the imperial system will be 15 days from behind... The nine concubines have been given up, and all nine people are in the imperial palace, eighty-one is in the imperial palace. The twenty-seven women in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, nine concubines are in the imperial palace, and three wives are in the imperial palace, and all fourteen days are in the imperial palace. The fifteenth day of the Ming Dynasty will be in the imperial palace, and the sixteenth day will be in the imperial palace... All nine concubines and women above the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace, and those who are in the imperial palace are in the imperial palace after the imperial palace are in the imperial palace. If the wife does not enter this case, fifty is in the imperial palace.

According to this statement, it is not easy for the emperor to complete the prescribed tasks. The eighty-one wife, also known as the female wife, is divided into nine nights, nine people per night. The twenty-seventh generation wife also has nine nights, three days; the nine concubines share one day; the third wife also share one day, but after all, the number of people sharing this right, or fulfilling their obligations, is only one third of the previous levels. Only the "Queen" enjoys one night alone. From the first day to the fifteenth day, a new round starts from the sixteenth day.

However, some people also suggested that the two days of the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month are not suitable for sexual intercourse, so there will be problems with the sorting. Whether it is nine or one person who is waiting for that day, is it in vain to wait? Two laps a month, if not many people at the same time every night, each of the 121 people will not have two or three rounds a year, assuming that the emperor still has to be idle for a day and is extremely diligent and fair. The result is that the emperor is pitifully tired and the concubines are pitifully idle...

Zhao Bing now has six concubines, and there are still a lot of empty seats in the harem waiting to be filled. According to the rules and the emperor's preferences, there are drafts every year or the next year to continuously fill the harem. However, he still has the moral concept of his previous life, and now he has broken through the bottom line. Although he is involuntarily, he also thinks that this rule cannot be continued. Otherwise, it will be just a moral issue, and he may enter the footsteps of several ancestors. He is young and killed by the Mongols, and he will be exhausted to death.

"Not good!" Zhao Bing suddenly felt sweating on his back, and couldn't help but shout. He believed that people were constantly evolving. After he first arrived in this world, he could be said to be in danger at all times and could lose his life if he was accidentally. At the same time, he found that his feelings became more sensitive, and it was necessary to say it was intuition, and he would be alert when threatened.

"I won't guess again!" During the cold moment, Zhao Bing found that his wives were not idle, but gathered on the other side of the pavilion again, muttering together, and glanced at him from time to time, looking at their shy and red faces, which made his heart beat faster, and he could not help but believe his intuition again. What made him even more uncomfortable was that he felt like a rabbit under the gun, and he wanted to run away but couldn't.

"Official family, I have discussed with several sisters..."

"What do you want to do?" Just as Zhao Bing was full of suspicion, Chen Shu walked over, but before he could finish his words, he said vigilantly like a frightened rabbit.

"Official family, why are you anxious?" Seeing the little emperor's nervous look, Chen Shu sat down next to him, poured a cup of tea and gave it to him, and said with a smile, "The Empress Dowager repeatedly reminded me not to let the official family leave the palace privately and lead the army to fight in person. But you are too cunning and sneak away if you are not careful. Therefore, I and my sisters decided to take turns to serve the official family in accordance with the rules in the palace to avoid making any mistakes!"

"What do you want?" As expected, Zhao Bing said more alertly.

"Why are you sweating in the official family?" Chen Shu wiped the sweat from the silk squid and said, "I have already discussed it. From now on, the queen and I will stay with the official family for three days every half month, and the rest of the sisters will change every two days. Today is the beginning of the month, so Concubine Chen will serve the official family first!"

"You are going to put me under house arrest, no!" Zhao Bing waved his hands and said in panic.
