In ancient times, if the children of commoners wanted to be knighted, they had to pass the tempering of the examination system in order to enter the official field. It is quite difficult for most people to enter the examination, and many people have studied the scriptures for many years and have difficulty fulfilling their wishes, but if they can enter the high school, the brilliant career is no longer far away. MengJiao's "After Dengke" depicts the happy mood after winning the Jinshi, "the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and the Chang'an flowers are seen in one day", and the years of tempering have finally borne fruit, how can you not be excited?
The first of the list of jinshi and the first is the yuan, which shows that the rare and valuable of the yuan is as rare as a horn. Such a talent should have been appreciated by the emperors, and according to his talents, he was given an official position and made him serve the imperial court, but there was such a bitter figure, he was a magnificent Yuanlang, but he was happy for more than twenty days, and he was executed by Zhu Yuanzhang. This tragic leader, named Chen An, wants to understand the reasons for his tragic experience, and it is necessary to analyze it from a fair point of view.
Although the examination system tests real talent and practical learning, students need to have outstanding talents to have the opportunity to go to high school, enter the official arena to seek fame, the principle is a fair competition, is the real talent screening process, but in the year of Chen An High School, a thing that violates fairness has happened. The year of his high school was 1397, and the Ming Dynasty admitted a total of 52 candidates, the number is not strange, but the strange thing is that 52 people are all southerners, and all the candidates north of the Yangtze River have not been admitted.
Although educational resources in ancient times may have been unfair, it is extremely rare for students in the north to be admitted. In fact, these literati in the north were very angry about this, believing that the chief examiner had done something wrong, resulting in all the northern literati not having the opportunity to go to high school. Coincidentally, the three examiners of that year were all southerners, and considering the ins and outs of the matter, there was indeed a suspicion of changing the rules and favoritism.
The chief examiners were very helpless about this, because the examination was originally a merit-based admission, and the article still needed Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, even if he wanted to make small moves, it was difficult to escape the emperor's scrutiny. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious by nature, and under the anger of the northern literati, he ordered to re-read the file, in fact, there was a turning point in the matter here, because Zhu Yuanzhang originally meant to calm things down, and if a few northern literati were selected as jinshi, they would be able to calm public opinion, but the chief examiners played a little clever at this time.
They deliberately selected a few poorly written northern literati examination papers to zhu Yuanzhang to prove that there was no error in the previous selection, which was reported and directly implemented the "black box operation" of the chief examiners, pushing them to the end of the road. Distribution, execution, the fate of the chief examiners to the abyss, poor high school Champion Chen An was also involved, Zhu Yuanzhang concluded that his grades were catty, directly sentenced to car cracks, this Yuanyuan Lang thus ended his life, and then had nothing to do with fame and fortune.
Although the main examiners deliberately selected the poor performance of the northern literati examination papers, there is a suspicion of "bullying", but the previous ranking is not necessarily passive. If you can give a few opportunities to the northern literati high school, the fate of the chief examiner and Chen An will be rewritten, only to lament the impermanence of life, this literati who enjoyed the name of more than twenty days of yuan, so tragically died.
