A candidate in the Qing Dynasty brought 36 buns to the examination room. He had finished all the buns and had not handed in the paper. Kangxi looked at him and he was the first one!
This candidate is named Li Pan . He is a scholar in Jiangsu. Influenced by his father, he wanted to become an official in the court, but his studies were very ordinary. When he was thirty-eight years old, Li Pan became a scholar.
However, his ultimate goal was not a juren. Li Pan quickly passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer, until the last level, which was the palace examination.
The palace examination will be one day's assessment. Candidates can prepare what they eat by themselves. Other candidates will bring food with them. Just eat a little bit. Anyway, they will take the exam, not eat.
, but Li Pan brought 36 in one breath! The guard at the gate was startled and thought to himself that this guy would have hidden the cheating materials with steamed buns, right?
So, he opened it carefully and looked at it several times, but found no abnormalities, so he let it go.
Li Pan read it very seriously. Everyone else was writing, but he was doing it seriously.
or you're gnawing buns.
As a result, everyone has done it, he is the only one thinking until late at night!
Even the examiner was a little impatient and repeatedly urged him, but seeing that his answer was pretty good, the examiner did not force him to hand over the paper.
It was not until the fourth update that his mission ended.
The one who corrected the test paper was Kangxi. When Kangxi looked at Li Pan's test paper, he felt that Li Pan's writing style had a unique political view.
Although the Qing Empire was very prosperous at that time, in fact, the court was in a turbulent manner.
is the enemy first. Although Galdan was defeated, Junggar's defeated general cannot be ignored.
Secondly, Yellow River floods and has not been effectively governed for a long time, and the people have complained.
What made Kangxi the most headache was the corruption in the administration of officials, and Kangxi was generous and punished corruption. The three questions of
all hit Kangxi's weaknesses. Li Pan not only pointed out the problem, but also put forward his own opinions.
Although his proposal was a bit too idealistic, Kangxi felt that his awareness of seeing these political issues was far beyond all candidates.
If Li Pan trains more and trains him, he will definitely be a qualified general in the future.
So, with a wave of his hand, the first place in Jinke fell on his head.
Later, Li Pan was promoted to the school history of Hanlin Academy.
Li Pan was selected as the examiner of the provincial examination of Shuntianfu when he was 42 years old. However, this time, his life became extremely miserable.
This provincial examination, the most famous ones on the list were all the children of the official family, which made ordinary scholars very dissatisfied, so they accused Li Pan and Jiang Chenying of corruption and abuse of power and accepting bribes.
Rumors are getting worse and worse, and literati even wrote poems and memorials to denounce Li Pan. For a moment, "scientific investigation fraud" was flying all over the sky. Kangxi finally found out about
. Kangxi was very confident in Li Pan, so he solved the matter.
However, Kangxi's indifference towards him did not make him give up. Sun Kongshang is a doctor in the Imperial College. He wrote a drama "The Legend of Tongtian Banner" based on fraud.
The description of Li Pan and others' embezzlement in the script is so realistic that many viewers believe it.
Li Pan became the target of public criticism again.
Li Pan couldn't say anything about his suffering. Even Kangxi could not protect him because his anger was too great.
Kangxi had no choice but to announce again that he would conduct a re-examination for those who passed the Jinshi and presided over it. Li Pan was wrongly accused and imprisoned.
However, the results of the second exam are still the same as before, and most of them pass by the test with their own abilities.
This time, can Li Pan clear up his grievances? But the reality is that those literati who failed the exam are still unwilling to accept it and do not give up.
In order to calm the public's dissatisfaction, Kangxi sent Li Pan and Jiang Chenying to the capital again.
Jiang Chen is old and was sentenced to death before Kangxi's decree arrived. Li Pan was exiled for three years.
Wait for him to return to his hometown and relied on his contributions to the North Korea. After all, he was framed.
But three years of exile made Li Pan's heart cold and he never set foot in the court in his life.
Isn’t this very unfair?
How do he explain this?
