Su Qin

School scum attacks the prime ministers of the six countries

Su Qin, as one of the protagonists of the "hanging beam and stabbing stock", has a legendary life.

Like all cool men, Su Qin got off to a bad start. Persuaded the king of Qin to submit the memorial for many times, but his idea was not adopted. After running out of money, Su Qin left the state of Qin and returned to his hometown, which was a great blow. His wife, sister-in-law and parents all despise him.

The huge blow from his family made Su Qin study hard as if he had beaten chicken blood. This counterattack drama, which is loved by the general public, is written in "Warring States Policy": It is a book published at night, with dozens of Chen Zuo, and it is the plot of the Taigong Yinfu, and it is recited and succinct. When he was sleepy after reading, he pricked himself with a cone, bleeding to his feet. He said, "An said that a man is the master, but he can’t show his wealth and splendor, so who will take the respect of a young man?" At the end of the year, I figured it out and said, "This can really be said to be the king of the world."

Ordinary people fell asleep when they were reading. Su Qin didn’t. He stabbed himself in the thigh with an awl to stay awake. Finally, this hard-working study achieved results. After learning, Su Qin lobbied the kings to win, and the six countries sealed their faces, which made him famous all over the world. He was so glorious that he despised his family and was slapped in the face, one by one to please him.

It can be said that Su Qin is a proper master of inspirational literature, and changed his destiny by learning.

Cui Yuanhan

Unprecedented "ternary sum"

The ancient imperial examination was divided into three levels: after having obtained a local examination, after having obtained an examination, and palace examination. After having obtained the provincial examination, the first name was Xieyuan, the first name was Huiyuan, and the first place in palace examination was the champion. Those who win the first place in all three exams are called "Sanyuan Ji".

Under normal circumstances, after having obtained the provincial examination, the general examination and palace examination are held once every three years, and there are a large number of people taking the examination. For example, in the three-year general examination in Chunhua, Song Taizong, the number of people taking the examination reached more than 17,000, which is a real hammering across the wooden bridge.

In the history of China’s imperial examination for more than 1000 years, there were millions of juren and 100,000 scholars, but only more than 600 people won the first prize. It is rare to be able to solve the problem, meet the needs and win the top prize.

Cui Yuanhan in the Tang Dynasty was the first "Sanyuanji" university god in history.

Cui Yuanhan was born in a aristocratic family, and he was very good at reading since he was a child. He has the skills of learning gods, such as quick reading and unforgettable memory. After obtaining the first place in the provincial examination and the examination, he successfully participated in the palace examination of Xinyouke in the second year of Tang Dezong Jianzhong. At that time, the test question was "Bai Yun Qi Feng Zhong Fu", and Cui Yuanhan played steadily and won the first place in the history, becoming the first person to achieve the achievement of "Three Yuan Ji".

It is worth mentioning that Cui Yuan-han’s younger brothers, Cui Ao and Cui Bei, also took part in the palace examination, and both of them obtained the Jinshi, which shows that Cui’s family is a bit academic.

After palace examination in the Tang Dynasty, there were often three tests, namely, "erudite and generous words", "virtuous and upright" and "outspoken and remonstrant", all of which were very difficult.

Li Shangyin said in the Book of Scholars with Tao: "It’s not easy for my husband to say that he is knowledgeable and eloquent. The disasters of heaven and earth have been solved, the rise and fall of personnel have been investigated, the emperor Wang Zhidao has known everything, the sages have known everything, and the insects, plants, ghosts and spirits have been brought down, and everything has been done, so we have to have a meeting. "

Visible light, a "learned macro-word", is not easy. Candidates need to know astronomy and geography, and they must be all-round talents.

After winning the first place in palace examination, Cui Yuanhan also won the first place in these three assessments, showing the heroic spirit of a generation of learning gods.

Song Yao and Song Qi

Xueba brothers won the "double champion"

Xueba is usually a nest, with Cui family in Tang Dynasty and Song family in Song Dynasty.

Song Gui was a famous sage at that time, and his two sons, Song Yao and Song Qi, were equally talented. Under the influence of their father, they studied hard at an early age and achieved great success. At that time, they were called "Er Song".

In the second year of Song Renzong Tiansheng, the "Second Song Dynasty" took part in the scientific research, and indeed achieved good results. The Ministry of Rites drew up Song Qi as the first place in Jinshi No.1, and Song Yu as the third place.

At that time, the Queen Mother was amazed to see that the two brothers had entered the top three at the same time. However, she thought that the top three were dominated by the second brother, and it was not appropriate to be ranked as a younger brother over the older brother. Therefore, it was "black-box operation", which made Song Yu the top scholar and Song Qi the tenth.

I don’t know why it spread to the people, who paid more attention to the real strength than the order of seniority, so the people still regarded Song Qi as the top scholar, so one of the "Second Song Dynasty" was "the top scholar given by Qin" and the other was "the top scholar among the people", and there was a beautiful talk that the two brothers won the double top scholar in the same subject.

Huangguan

Six top scholars who were removed from the list

As we said before, there are three yuan, that is, after having obtained the provincial examination, palace examination won the first place. In fact, there are three yuan before having obtained the provincial examination, having obtained the provincial examination and palace examination, that is, the county examination, the government examination and the college examination. Xiao Sanyuan takes the test of getting a scholar, and only after getting a scholar can he be qualified to take the provincial examination.

It’s great to get the first place in all six exams, and that’s the level of super god. Looking back at the history of the imperial examination for thousands of years, only two people have achieved such achievements, that is, Huang Guan in the Ming Dynasty and Qian Qi in the Qing Dynasty.

Qian Qi won the top prize at the age of 48, while Huang Guan was the master of the Grand Slam at the age of 27, which can be described as the master of learning. Huang Guan Hongwu of Ming Dynasty took the first place in the provincial examination in the 23rd year, and took the first place in the next year’s examination. In the same year, he took part in palace examination and won the first place in palace examination.

In two years, he won the first place in the three big exams, and suddenly there was no limelight. People were very curious about this top scholar Lang, so they went to pick up his learning experience. As a result, it was found that Huang Guan not only "won three yuan in a row", but also won the first place in the county, government and college exams that had previously obtained scholars. As the saying goes, "three yuan is in the world, and six songs are not in the world", and Huang Guan created a miracle in the history of imperial examinations with extraordinary strength.

After Huang Guan entered the DPRK as an official, he won the appreciation of Zhu Yuanzhang and Emperor Jianwen, and his official career was smooth. After Zhu Di, the prince of Yan, launched the "Battle of Jing Nan", Huang Guan drafted an imperial edict, "satirizing his desertion and returning to the vassal state, apologizing for it, and denouncing it extremely", thus offending Zhu Di.

After Zhu Di acceded to the throne, of course, it was necessary to punish the disobedient courtiers at that time. He drew up a list of "treacherous court officials" of more than 50 people, and Huang Guan ranked sixth. After Huang Guan threw himself into the river, Zhu Di did not feel avenged, and ordered people to put on Huang Guan’s hat and cut off Huang Guan’s body double grass man’s head. At the same time, he made people delete the official records, removed Huang Guan’s name and stripped him of the title of champion.

Because of this reason, the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty kept Huang Guan a secret, except Huang Guan when taking stock of the three elements of the Ming Dynasty, saying only that "in the end of the Ming Dynasty, the first of three trials, (business) only one person".
