I believe that everyone has heard of the identity of the champion when watching costume dramas, right? The so-called champion is the person who comes out on top in the imperial examination, and such a person naturally has the ability to be different from ordinary people. According to statistics, from the Sui Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the imperial examination was abolished, a total of 777 Wenwu Champions were produced in the past 1300 years. Therefore, it is indeed a matter of Guangzong Yaozu to be able to obtain the title of Emperor Guangzong. Today we will also talk about things related to The Champion: Shandong farmers slipped out of their mouths on the wine table to say the ancestral treasure, experts persuaded 24 times, farmers donated free of charge.
During the Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty, there was a person who was particularly good at reading, this person was named Zhao Bingzhong, who was not only hardworking but also very talented in reading. Therefore, in the imperial examination, he easily passed the title, and it is said that in the year when Zhao Bingzhong became the champion, the people of the nearby ten miles and eight townships came to congratulate him.
The Wanli Emperor saw that Zhao Bingzhong was very good, and also rewarded him with Zhao Bingzhong's examination papers, knowing that there was never such a precedent in ancient times, because the imperial court kept the examination papers of the literati very strictly.
With super talent and ambition for politics, Zhao Bingzhong soon gained the trust of the emperor, and he began to support the emperor in carrying out new policies in the imperial court, but in this way, Zhao Bingzhong also offended the magnates of the imperial court, and soon he was excluded from the imperial court by the group of magnates.
After that, Zhao Bingzhong was exiled back to his hometown, and it was not long before Zhao Bingzhong died of depression, his experience was unfortunate, but fortunately he left a rare treasure for his descendants, that is, the yuan scroll rewarded by the Wanli Emperor that year.
With the passage of time, this precious test paper passed into the hands of Zhao Bingzhong's descendant Zhao Zhuobin, but unfortunately he could not take the same path as his ancestors, zhao Zhuobin was just an ordinary farmer.
Zhao Zhuobin and his family have always regarded this scroll left by their ancestors as a treasure, passed down from generation to generation and guarded to this day. However, at a dinner party, the drunken Zhao Zhuobin accidentally revealed the secret of this ancestral examination paper, which quickly attracted the attention of experts. Some cultural relics experts immediately rushed to inquire about the news, and when they learned that there was indeed something wrong, the experts took turns to persuade Zhao Zhuobin to donate this volume.
Originally, Zhao Zhuobin and his family did not agree at the beginning, after all, this is an ancestral treasure that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it cannot be lost to his own generation, but in the end, he could not withstand the soft grinding and hard bubble of the experts 24 times, and Zhao Zhuobin agreed to donate to the local museum collection free of charge.
Nowadays, this examination paper from the Ming Dynasty is lying peacefully in the history museum for people to visit, and future generations can have the honor to see this precious cultural relics all rely on Zhao Zhuobin's free donation.
