At the end of Chenghua in Ming Xianzong, there was a teacher named Zhou Jin in Wenshang County, Yanzhou, Shandong Province. In order to get ahead and win glory for the village, he took part in the imperial examinations many times, but over 60 years old, he didn't even get in as a scholar. One day, he and his brother-in-law came to the provincial capital and walked into Hiram's Hospital. Moved by this scene, he was deeply saddened. He hit the license plate and was unconscious. After being rescued, he rolled on the ground and shouted blood. Several businessmen saw that he was pitiful, so they collected 220 taels of silver and donated a Guo Jian Zi to him. He immediately kowtowed to everyone and said, "I'll be a donkey and a horse!" " "Soon, Zhou Jin was admitted to the Juren with the qualification of Guo Jianzi. In an instant, people who are not relatives also come to recognize relatives, and people who are not friends also come to recognize friends. Even the school where he teaches has a "longevity card" dedicated to "Master Zhou Tai". A few years later, he was elected as a scholar, promoted to the imperial history and assigned to Guangdong to study Taoism. Zhou Jin found Jin Fan in Guangzhou. In order to take care of this 54-year-old boy, he read his paper three times, and finally found it to be the best article in the world, so he turned Fan Enterprising into a scholar. Shortly thereafter, Jin Fan took the exam again and won an award. At that time, Jin Fan was given a cold shoulder at home because his situation was similar to that of Zhou Jin. His wife called him and his father-in-law scolded him in every way. When Jin Fan's family was worried about selling chickens for rice, there was a happy news that Jin Fan had been recovered from the collection. After learning the good news, he was ecstatic. Fortunately, his father-in-law slapped him in the face before waking him up and curing his madness. In the blink of an eye, Jin Fan's luck changed. He not only has money, rice and a house, but also slaves and maids. Jin Fan's mother was breathless with joy and died. Butcher Hu is also uncharacteristic, saying everywhere that he has long known that his son-in-law is satellites, and he will not be as respectful as ordinary people. Later, Jin Fan went to Beijing to visit Zhou Jin, was recommended by Zhou Jin, won the Jinshi, and was appointed as the Shandong Jinshi. Although Jin Fan developed eight-part essay, he only knew four books and five classics. When people mentioned Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, they thought he was a scholar in the Ming Dynasty and made a big joke. The imperial examination system not only trained a group of mediocre talents, but also trained a group of corrupt officials. Xu was appointed as the magistrate of Nanchang. The first thing he did when he took office was not to ask about the local public security, people's livelihood, and the public opinion of the case, but to ask about the local people's feelings, to find out what local specialties there are, and where various cases can be accommodated; Then customized a No.1 library, handed over all six rooms in the yamen, asked about the profits of various errands, and asked everyone to transfer the money back to the government. From then on, the sound of castanets, abacus and boards was heard all day in the yamen. Chiefs and people were beaten out of their wits one by one, shivering in their sleep. And his own creed is "three years clear magistrate, 100 thousand snowflakes silver." "When the imperial court inspected his achievements, it was unanimously considered that he was" the first able person in Jiangxi ". Gaoyao County ordered Tang Feng to strictly enforce the laws and regulations of the imperial court to show incorruptibility. The imperial court explicitly forbids the killing of cattle. Regardless of the reason, Tang Feng flogged the father of the Hui teacher who was engaged in beef business to death, and the masses were filled with indignation, and gongs and drums were loud. After the incident. The inspector didn't punish Tang Feng, but asked the victims of the Hui people on the charge of "raping the government and investigating its responsibility according to law". Such a "clean" magistrate of a county actually found 8,200 pieces of silver in one year. Officials corrupt and pervert the law. Under the stereotyped imperial examination, local tyrants and evil gentry also run amok. Juren Zhang Jingzhai is a bully in the South China Sea. He communicated with the government by surprise. In order to occupy the temple, he instigated seven or eight hooligans and framed the monk for adultery with women, which made the monk inexplicably sued. Yan, the supervisor of Gaoyao County, is a rich man, who regards money as everything and is rich. He is too ill to eat, bedridden and dying. He is still obsessed with harvesting early rice in the fields and sending the servants of Guanzhuang to the countryside. He is not at ease, but he is just impatient. He is stingy by nature, and his family is full of rice, cattle and horses, but he is reluctant to buy a catty of pork at ordinary times. When he died, he refused to give up his life because he lit an extra lamp. His brother Gong Sheng is strict and loyal, and he is a villain who runs amok in the village. He fenced his neighbor Wang Xiaoer's pig, and when others came to beg, he attacked and broke the legs of the Wang Xiaoer brothers. He blackmailed people everywhere, not lending money to others, but forcing them to pay interest; He described the cloud cake as a valuable medicine, threatened the boatman and lost a few dollars. After Yan Jian's death, as a brother, he forced his sister-in-law to adopt his second son as his son, seeking to seize his brother's property, and claimed that this was a birthright of "courtesy and righteousness", but our squire family could not make mistakes in these gifts. "The imperial examination system has created a number of social moths and poisoned the whole society. There is a farmer's son named Kuang Renchao in Yueqing County, Wenzhou. He is simple and honest. In order to support his parents, he went out to do small business and lived in Hangzhou. Later, I met Mr. Ma Er who chose to print eight-part essay. Mr. Ma Er gave him twelve taels of silver and advised him to study hard. After returning home, Kuang Chaoren studied eight-part essay while doing small business. Soon, he was appreciated by Li, the magistrate, and was promoted to Jinshi. In order to pursue higher fame and fortune, he worked harder to write eight-part essay. Unexpectedly, something happened to the magistrate of a county. In order to avoid being tied up, he fled to Hangzhou. Here, he met Jing Lanjiang, the owner of the headscarf shop posing as a celebrity, and Pan, the clerk in the yamen, and learned the "skill" of taking the exam and taking all the lawsuits for others. Because of Mr. Ma Er, he became a "writer" of eight-part essay, boasting that 95 copies of eight-part essay were printed, and everyone rushed to buy it. Scholars and families in the five provinces have presented "the sacred status of Confucianism and Kuang Zi" on the case. Soon, Li Ping, the magistrate who had promoted him, was promoted to Beijing official, and Superman Kuang followed him to Beijing. In order to please the powerful, he abandoned his wife and children and became the teacher's nephew and son-in-law. His wife died in poverty in her hometown. At this time, Pan, who had helped him, went to prison. For fear of affecting his reputation and future, Kuang Chaoren broke off his relationship with Pan and refused to even look at it. As for Mr. Ma Er, who once helped him, instead of repaying his kindness, he slandered and laughed at him and completely degenerated into the devil who sold his soul. The imperial examination system not only deprived people, but also was an accomplice of feudal ethics. Wang Yuhui is a poor scholar in Huizhou government. He is over 60 years old. He takes the imperial examination every year, but he still insists on moral standards. His third son-in-law died, and his daughter wanted to be martyred, but his in-laws refused. Instead, he advised his in-laws to let his daughter die. He said to his daughter, "Son, since you are like this, this is a matter of going down in history. Should I stop you? "Just do it." Eight days later, his daughter, dressed in white mourning, died of hunger strike. He smiled and said, "Good death! It' s so dead! " But after the incident, when his daughter's spirit tablet was sent to the martyr's shrine for public sacrifice, he suddenly felt sad. When he came home to see his wife's grief, he really couldn't bear to go out for fun. Along the way, he observed a moment of silence for his daughter. When he arrived in Huqiu, Suzhou, he saw a young woman in white on board, but suddenly he remembered his daughter who was martyred in mourning. His heart choked and tears rolled down. These ethos formed during the Ming Chenghua period intensified during the Wanli period. The examination room stands out from the crowd and is considered outstanding; Anyone who is frustrated in the examination room, such as Li Bai, Du Fu's literary talent, Yan Yuan and Zeng Shen, is considered to be stupid and incompetent. Large families talk about promoting to a higher position and making a fortune, while poor Confucian scholars learn to flatter. Confucian scholars degenerate and society is more corrupt. It seems that if you want to find a "strange man" who is not affected by stereotyped writing in the imperial examination, you can only put aside the scholars and look at ordinary people. There are really some strange people in the middle of that street. One can write. This man's surname is Ji, which is a distant year. He has been homeless and unemployed since he was a child, and has been living in these monasteries. His calligraphy is the best, but he refuses to learn ancient calligraphy. He just created his own style and wrote with a pen. He has a perverse personality, but mortals want him to write. He wants to fast for a day and grind ink for himself. If he doesn't want to, he will be unhappy. If he doesn't want to, let your princes and ministers give him a lot of money, and he won't even look at it. He was unkempt again, wearing a thin straight pleat and looking at a pair of worn-out sandals. I write every day, take other people's money, eat at home, give him the rest, and give it to the poor I don't know. One snowy day, his rotten shoes trampled mud all over his friend's house, and his friend asked him to change his shoes. He said I can't sit in your house in these shoes? I sat in your house, I flattered you once, and he saw a box of fine fragrant ink in the monk's room. Whether people want to write or not, they use it to write. When a powerful squire asked him to write, he vowed, "I don't want your money, I don't admire your power, and I don't borrow your light." How dare you let me write! " Another company sells tin foil spools. This man's surname is Wang and his name is Tai. He likes playing Go best since he was a child. He has no livelihood, and sells fire paper tubes around Hujufu every day. On that day, Miao Yi Temple will do something. Mrs. Wang will come in and meet three or four senior officials around two people playing chess there. Everyone looked down on him at first, but just after half a game with Mrs. Wang, they were about to throw in the towel. Everyone was frightened and would take Mrs. Wang to drink. Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "This is as happy as killing chess! I have killed chess, and I am very happy. I cannot eat or drink there! " Say that finish, he smiled and left without looking back. There are many hermits who are indifferent to fame and fortune like them in the market, but in the eyes of those dignitaries, the pursuit of fame and fortune is the right way.
