In the history of imperial examinations in China, there were millions of people and more than 100,000 scholars, but as the peak of this huge intellectual group, the number one scholar Lang was only a handful. The following is what I prepared for you, I hope you like it!
Article 1: The thickest champion: Pei Siqian
When Tang Wenzong was in power, eunuch Chou Shiliang was in power, and the life and death of courtiers were in his hands. Pei was only a scholar at that time, but he was very good at buttering up powerful people and soon became good friends with Shiliang Zhou.
This year, Pei had a whim and wanted to be a scholar, so he asked Qiu for a position to find the examiner of that year. Gao Kai was an honest official and sent him away. When Pei Si Qian was angry, he claimed that he would not be a champion next year.
The next year, Pei came to the examiner with Chou Shiliang's post and said to him, "Mr. Qiu has a letter and recommends Pei as the top scholar." Gao Kai had long forgotten Pei Si and said to him, "The champion has been taken, and anyone except the champion can do whatever he wants."
Pei Si had the cheek to say, "Pei Xiucai is not a champion!" Knowing that offending Shiliang Zhou again this time would not have a good result, Gao Kai said, "In that case, I want to see Pei Xiucai."
Pei Shuo: "A humble official." As a last resort, he had to become a top scholar. To pursue fame and gain by yourself, you have to be a champion. This gentleman is thick-skinned, and no one can match the champion.
Chapter 2: The champion under the phase-saving: Wang Sizong.
In the 16th year of Song Taizu's reign, Mao personally held the palace examination in the hall.
Candidates Wang Si Zong and Chen Zhi were the first to finish their papers and submit them together. Their papers were excellent. Who is the first? Mao is really puzzled.
In the end, they won the world's hair immediately and let the two wrestle, and the winner is the champion. Wang Si Zong and Chen Zhi fought in the hall. As a result, Chen Zhi fell to the ground and Wang Sizong won the championship that year.
Chapter 3: The most confident champion: Hu Dan.
In the first year of Song Taizong, a scholar visited a county in Shandong. The magistrate of a county learned that the scholar was quite literary, so he hosted a banquet.
The son of the magistrate looked down on the scholar and asked him what he was good at. The scholar said that he was a poet. The son asked him to read one, and the scholar read one. The last sentence is: "Don't dream of picking up all the cold light." Hearing this, the son laughed and said, "This is a sleepy man." The scholar was very angry.
This scholar is Lv Mengzheng, and the next year, Lv Mengzheng won the championship in one fell swoop. He wrote to his son, "Sleepy Boy has won the first prize now."
The son sneered at his letter: "When I become the second person next year, I will lose you."
In the second year, the champion of the new subject was this childe-Hu Dan. Throughout the history of imperial examinations, Hu Dan was the first person with such confidence.
Chapter Four: The most miserable champion: Chen An.
During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, Chen An, a native of Minxian County, Fujian Province, ranked first in high school in the thirty years of Hongwu and became the sixth scholar in Daming.
Coincidentally, all the people who entered the Jinshi this time were southerners. Coincidentally, all three examiners are southerners.
As soon as the list was published, the northern scholars refused to accept it. Call on examiners to favor fellow villagers and belittle northern scholars. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and ordered Zhang Xin and others 12 to review.
At this time, it was reported that Zhang Xin and Chen An were going to give the examination papers of the northern candidates with low level to the emperor for review. This was supposed to be an unwarranted thing, but Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and Chen An was deprived of his fame and died of a car crack.
Chen An died after less than 20 days as the No.1 scholar, with a tragic ending.
Chapter 5: The most admired champion: Kang Hai.
During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, Kang Hai, 28, went to Beijing to take an exam. He vowed to win the first place. Unfortunately, the first place was taken away by Lu Duo, and he only got the fourth place. Kang Hai was not convinced and said to everyone: "I gave up Lu Duo as soon as I tried, and I will never let others take the palace exam!"
In the palace exam, Kang Hai really did well and won the championship in one fell swoop. His article surprised the examiner. When it was sent to the emperor for review, Xiaozong was full of praise, claiming: "I have never had this masterpiece in Daming for 150 years, and this volume has become unique!" So Zhu approved Kang Hai as the top scholar.
At first, when Kang Hai tried, he refused to get angry with Lu Duo. This time, naturally some people refused to be angry with him, and the second Sun Qing was one of them. He told everyone that his article was much better than Kang Hai's. When he saw Kang Hai's timely articles, he was amazed. I ran to Kang Hai's house, worshipped him for a long time and said I would like to be an apprentice.
The praise of the Emperor, Huiji and the same year made Kang Hai famous all over the world, admired by the ruling and opposition parties, and got a glimpse of his elegant demeanor. Anyone who can get in touch with Kang Hai's family is proud of it. Kang Hai's grandfather used to be an official in Nanjing, and Nanjing people claimed: "The Kang Zhuang Yuan was born in Nanjing Feng Shui."
Kang Hai's articles are admirable, but unfortunately we can't see the wonderful articles from now on.
