It should be known that in the ancient feudal society, to select a qualified talent, it was necessary to pass the palace examination, and only those who passed could be appointed by the imperial court. Of course, the operation of each country is inseparable from some well-educated people to help the emperor manage the localities, and the emperor is eager to choose more good students to come out, but the Qing Dynasty is too famous, and the chief judge does not dare to let him be a leader.
There were many geniuses in ancient China, who showed very high talents from an early age, such as Zhao Yi during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. He read a lot of books from an early age, and as a teenager he was able to write a lot of catchy articles. When Qianlong was 15 years old, Zhao Yi took the exam, and he himself did not expect that he could actually pass the exam!
First, the desire for fame
It should be known that lifting people was not an ordinary person at that time, and even local officials had to respect people with some respect. After that, Zhao Yi was reused by the imperial court and became a rebbe teacher. In the past four years, Zhao Yi has been very diligent and earnest in doing things, and does not dare to have any sloppiness and mistakes, so the Ceremonial Department feels that Zhao Yi is a rare talent, so he let him continue to take the meritorious examination.
After his own efforts, Zhao Yi was finally admitted to the position of cabinet secretary. It is reasonable to say that it is already a great gift for a literati to be able to achieve this official position, so Zhao Yi cherishes this official position very much, and he carefully completes this job every day. Fu Heng, the chief military minister, greatly admired Zhao Yi's literary talent, and told Qianlong that Zhao Yi was a very rare person to be reused.
Qianlong heard that the military aircraft ministers had said this, so he turned Zhao Yi into a military aircraft Zhang Jing. Zhao Yi wrote a good calligraphy, so the Qianlong Emperor asked him to transcribe the Holy Will and the official documents of the imperial court. For this reason, Zhao Yi worked harder, and he wanted to participate in the test. However, at that time, there were many talents participating in the examination, and Zhao Yi participated in several examinations without success, and finally passed the examination by virtue of his relationship.
After being admitted to the examination, it can be said that Zhao Yi is already the ancestor of the Guangzong Yaozu, but he still has to participate in the temple examination. For a literati, being able to obtain the title is the ultimate goal. However, he was very confident in being admitted to the Title, because he himself was an official of the Imperial Court, and in ancient times he was already an official of the Imperial Court, and he was also a meritorious person, and he could still obtain the Title, and once he was admitted to the Title, Zhao Yi would get a higher official position.
As a military aircraft Zhang Jing, Zhao Yi's relationship is naturally very hard, plus he has taken many exams, and he is also familiar with the routine of the paper. It should be known that the military aircraft Zhang Jing's official position in the imperial court is not big or small, and they have many opportunities to obtain meritorious names than ordinary students.
Zhao Yi has real talent and practical learning, and with a little effort, Yuanyuan will definitely be a sure thing. However, the students in the world felt that this was unfair and an insult to these students, so the emperor tried not to let Zhang Jing get the title. It was not a coincidence that before Zhao Yi, there was still a Zhang Jing who won the title. Therefore, the emperor was very annoyed.
Liu Tongxun and Liu Lun, the ministers of the examination papers, were also very embarrassed, and the two of them could not erase a person who could be admitted to the title, but the emperor had to give face, and the two of them naturally had to think of some way. Zhao Yi also knew the thoughts of the Qianlong Emperor, and even more knew that Liu Tongxun and Liu Lun would not let him, who was Zhang Jing, rank in front of him before making achievements, but he dreamed of becoming a champion.
Second, play a little clever
If Liu Tongxun and Liu Lun could not see the flaws, the only way to change the handwriting and style of the paper was to change. To this end, Zhao Yi tried the handwriting method and wrote according to the notes of others. To say that Zhao Yi's imitation ability is still very high, he quickly learned the handwriting of others, as for how the article describes it is not a difficult task for him.
Even so, Zhao Yi was still a little hesitant. You must know what kind of smart liu Tongxun is, plus Zhao Yi and Liu Tongxun have dealt with him, Liu Tongxun knows him very well, once he can't pass the pass, at most he can't be a champion. But if Liu Tongxun told the emperor about this, the emperor was furious, and it was not easy to say that he would dismiss his officials or find an excuse to send him to prison.
Zhao Yi finally decided that it was better not to go to the temple examination, in ancient times there were rules, if it was any scientific examination, if you registered for the name and did not rush to the examination, you would have to punish the crime in accordance with the laws of the Great Qing. Thinking of Zhuangyuan's style, Zhao Yi clenched his fists, and he had to try it. Zhao Yi changed the overall structure of the article in the article, becoming no longer atmospheric, but very cautious, and the handwriting changed a lot.
The temple examination is sealed, so the examiner does not know who wrote the examination paper. However, Liu Tongxun and Liu Lun and nine other file-reading officials have long reached a consensus that Zhao Yi must not be allowed to enter the front division. The quality of each article takes the form of a circle. Many examination papers cannot be included in the eyes of the examiner, and of the more than a thousand examination papers, more than six hundred have only two circles.
Of the remaining four hundred or so examination papers, there are three or four circles, and only the few remaining examination papers are the most circles. Liu Lun was afraid that Zhao Yi's rolls were mixed in, so he carefully checked them, and finally did not find Zhao Yi's rolls. However, one examination paper was drawn with nine circles, and although Zhao Yi changed the style and handwriting, Liu Lun still felt that this article was written by Zhao Yi.
Third, miss the element
Liu Tongxun also had some doubts, but he carefully read the volume, this style did not have Zhao Yi's style, if cautious articles can be written by Zhao Yi. But he was not sure, so he went to Zhao Yi's house and deliberately told Zhao Yi about the examination paper that had been drawn in nine circles, and also revealed some of the contents of the examination paper.
Liu Tongxun was deliberately testing Zhao Yi, and if the examination paper was written by him, he would naturally be very excited. Zhao Yi is not stupid, he deliberately put on a calm look, like no one, praise which candidate is so talented, and must communicate in the future. Liu Tongxun left Zhao Yi's home with great satisfaction.
A few days later, three examination papers were handed over to the Qianlong Emperor, who was very pleased, so he opened the place where the examination papers were sealed, and it turned out that the first place was actually Zhao Yi! Qianlong knew that it was possible to make a champion based on Zhao Yi's literary style and policy arguments, but it was indeed a little unfair that every time zhao yi was a Zhejiang person, so he first put aside Zhao Yi's examination paper.
The third place Wang Jie is a Shaanxi native, and there is always no title on the boundary of Shaanxi Province, which will make the students in Shaanxi Province very discouraged, so Qianlong decided that Wang Jiejin's first place in the list, the second place Hu Gaowang, and the third place to explore flowers are Zhao Yi. In this way, Zhao Yi's cleverness was mistaken by cleverness, missing the title, and the good villain was also a tanhua, and he was also a Guangzong Yaozu.
4. Summary
Zhao Yi was indeed a rare talent during the Qianlong years, and there was nothing wrong with him wanting to obtain a greater meritorious name, but he did not think that at that time, he had already served in the imperial court and became a high official. If he obtains the title again, then what motivation does the world's well-educated people have, so he should choose to quit.
In addition, Zhao Yi should not be clever, even if the style and handwriting are changed, the emperor can still see his name in the end, if the emperor blames it, he is afraid that he will not even be able to wrap the black hat. What's more, fame and fortune are originally external things, and excessive demands are certainly not a good thing.
