Chapter 84 The Temple Test is Not a Cognitive Thing (Asking for a Monthly Pass Collection)

After the exam, the tribute students can completely relax. It's time for the examiners to be busy.

Within two days after the exam, all papers must be reviewed.

It is obviously not something that the emperor can do alone.

In fact, except for the emperor who once completed it, the later emperors were all organized by the people below to read the papers...... At the beginning of the country, he was an official of the wine repair.

However, after the orthodoxy, the non-ruling ministers did not cooperate, and the handle to take it was in the cabinet...... As for the emperor himself.

Only look at the top 10 recommended rolls.

The minister of the palace examination.

Also known as the paper reader, it is led by Qian Qianyi, a cabinet scholar.

The two Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Rites are the deputies, and the Ministry of Rites and other six officials and other six officials are composed of a luxurious lineup.

Rest for the night at the pavilion. The next day, they gathered in the Purple Light Pavilion. Row up for 400 people......

Before the reading began, it was customary for everyone to bow down to Confucius and swear an oath to heaven. Then according to the size of the rank. They each returned to a long row of desks and sat down.

At this time, the monitoring officer personally took the file box and sealed it. Take out a bundle and open it. Hand it to Wen Tiren.

Then Wen Shangshu, according to the official position of the marking officer, was distributed to them volume by volume. After dividing it, take another bundle until it is finished

After each grader finishes the paper, he will start to mark the paper. After reading a copy, hand it to the grader on the left-hand side.

In the same way, when the person on the right hand finishes reading, he will also take the paper. In this way, the nine markers can see each candidate's papers.

This kind of reading method is called "turning the table", and it will only appear in the hall examination papers.

At the same time, the examiner is on the paper that has been read. Write your last name. But it is not signed, unless there is a person with the same surname, and the low one has to write his name aggrieved. After reading it, just write down your rating.

Of course, each parade has different tastes. It is also normal to have different reviews. But the difference can't be too big, for example, this paper, some of us are excellent, and some are inferior. That's definitely not the case.

It will be raised by the monitor and sent to another minister to read the paper, in case the examiner "has his own prejudices." There are drawbacks to going up and down." Once you sit down. There will be punishment.

But history has proven it time and again. There are drawbacks to any system. No matter how carefully designed.

This way of grading is so...... Yu was worried about being punished, so the examiners were marking the same paper.

This will lead to the phenomenon of "similar reviews".

That is to say, I only dare to be one level worse than the previous one's evaluation, and I don't dare again.

Obviously, the opinion of the sweeping officer is very important.

Especially when it comes to beating down the test papers, it is almost decisive, if he sentences a paper to death, that paper is basically dead.

Wait for the nine markers to "turn the table", that is, after all the examination papers are drawn with nine numbers. It is reviewed by the official who reads the papers.

Rank and place other grades. In particular, the two runner-ups can also participate in the opinion.

However, the rolls that rank first and second must be eight "excellent".

The rest fell into the top three. Then compare the number of excellent ratings within each grade, and if the excellent ratings are the same, and so on......

The chief grader was Qian Qianyi, a university scholar, and then Wen Tiren and others.

The ministers hurried and hurried, and finally in seven days and nights, all the 400 examination papers were arranged.

But you can't fill in the list yet, because you still have to submit it to the royal review. Hand-picked by the Holy Tripod Jia. That is, the legendary champion Bangyan and Tanhua.

Rub your sour waist. The tired Qian Ge Lao said softly: "Wen Butang, let's go face the saint, Your Majesty is still waiting." ”

After the three of them nodded, they hugged Qian Dage, who was holding twelve exam papers.

Solemnly walk through the corridor illuminated by red lanterns to the imperial study.

The study room is brightly lit. Zhu Youzhen was still waiting for the minister to send the exam papers.

Wang Chengen came in to report: "When a few adults came. ”

Zhu Youzhen sat up straight and said, "Get a basin of cold water, I want to sober up." ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly brought cold water with a copper basin. The hand towel was put in and soaked, and both hands were presented to the emperor.

Zhu Youzhen didn't answer, and pointed to the basin of water: "Bring it directly." ”

Wang Chengen whispered: "

Emperor, the water is a little cold this night. Slaves are afraid of ......"

"What are you afraid of?" Zhu Youzhen smiled: "I have built the peak of the Yuan, and the cold and heat will not invade, but I am still afraid of this cold water?"

Zhu Youzhen washed his face and was excited. Deng Shi was full of spirit and said: "Xuan!"

"Your Excellency, I respectfully greet St. Ann. "This is not a court. You don't have to make a big deal of it.

After the three ministers saluted, Zhu Youzhen asked them to calm down and said, "Get up, it's been hard enough these days." ”

Shane got up. Qian Qianyi said: "Your Majesty's ......"

Zhu Youzhen lifted it and said, "Wang Chengen moved chairs for the adults, and then brought the ginseng porridge boiled in the back."

Give me and the three adults a bowl. ”

Wang Chengen responded with a smile and went to the back to work.

Naturally, several ministers were thankful. Wait until you're done. Zhu Youzhen took the tea cup and rinsed his mouth and wiped his mouth.

Only then did he say to Qian Qianyi: "Qian Muzhai, this time I will try." Do you have any suggestions for your palace to try it?"

Qian Qianyi has already eaten. got up and said with a smile on his face: "Weichen wants to congratulate the emperor." Congratulations to the Emperor, the level of this Spring Festival is much higher than that of previous sessions!"

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "Oh, Qian Ge doesn't know how high it is?"

Qian Qianyi hurriedly said: "The level of this exam is indeed much higher, Your Majesty, please read the paper." ”

Zhu Youzhen also came to his senses when he heard this, and began to browse the test papers with great interest.

The reason why he was so happy was because he wanted to see Shi Kefa, but he couldn't find Shi Kefa after looking through the twelve test papers. couldn't help but pull down his face and said, "What's going on, why isn't there Shi Xianzhi?"

Qian Qianyi was speechless, and Liu Zongzhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, these are the best twelve exam papers this time."

"Are you sure there is no omission?" Zhu Youzhen asked with a gloomy face: "Or are some people playing favoritism and cheating, confusing their eyes, and indiscriminately filling up the numbers!"

Qian Qianyi almost fainted. He knew that the emperor was talking about himself. Fortunately, he is a time-tested old guy. Whoever counts defeat in advance will win.

I had already thought of a countermeasure and said: "Your Majesty, the time for marking the papers is limited.

In addition to the really excellent articles, the review of other volumes is indeed a bit coarse, if you want to taste them one by one, the next time. It is necessary to extend the marking time. "A seat of words is not leaky, and the responsibility is downplayed.

From this point of view, it makes sense for the Donglin Party to elect him as the party leader.

After Zhu Youzhen glanced at it, he said indifferently: "He Ruizheng, who is this?"

Qian Qianyi thought about it and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister only knows that he is a person from Henan, and the rest do not know. ”

"This talent is shallow, lacks knowledge, and is slightly less courageous, so let's change it to a third-class jinshi. Zhu Youzhen said categorically.

Liu Zong, who was in the back, heard it on Monday, and immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has read this person's article, and it is excellent in terms of writing and opinions, dare to ask why this is so?"

Zhu Youzhen was silent, just talking about article strategy, this person is indeed a rare talent.

But Zhu Youzhen knew that He Ruizheng was a "Sanshun minister", a person who surrendered and surrendered.

He Ruizheng in history was a native of Xinyang, Runing, Henan, and a political figure in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Chongzhen's first list. In the first year of Chongzhen (1628), he was ranked second in the first class of Jinshi, awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing, and successively served as the prince of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen (1642), he served as the chief examiner of the township examination. After Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, he served as a bachelor of Hongwenguan.

After the Qing army entered the customs, in the first year of Shunzhi (1644), he served as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and then returned to his hometown.

Such a big traitor still wants to be a role model now?

How can it be!

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen said categorically: "This matter is arbitrary, and there is no need to discuss it again!"

The second place in the first class of Jinshi was replaced by Shi Kefa, which is very suitable. ”

"Weichen is opposed, Your Majesty is very mediocre, and he doesn't accept advice......" Before Liu Zongzhou finished speaking, he was blocked by Qian Qianyi and didn't let him continue.

Although Qian Qianyi didn't deal with this old guy, at this time, the Donglin party was weak and couldn't be damaged anymore, didn't you see that Zhu Youzhen's face was already dark?

"Lord Liu didn't choose what to say just now, he offended the holy driver, and I hope that His Majesty will atone for his sins. Qian Qianyi hurriedly said.

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Lord Liu is old and faint, you can forgive me, don't take it as an example!"

Qian Qianyi hurriedly pulled Liu Zongzhou and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. ”

Obviously, Liu Zongzhou has reacted, and his confession is also very sincere.

......

Three days later, the dawn in the east turned red, the sky became white, and the capital, which had slept all night, once again revealed its true face.

If a monk looks down from the sky, there is a stretch of red and gold in the gray building, which is so conspicuous and unique.

If you look at the running aura, you will find that it is a dark red palace wall and a golden glazed tile.

This huge, neat and stately and magnificent complex is completely distinguished from the surrounding area because it is called the Royal Palace......

With the solemn Jingyang bell ringing, the three main gates of the Forbidden City's noon gate and the two east-west doors slowly opened at the same time.

The two teams of Han generals wearing golden flying fish suits and holding a halberd with neat steps came out of the four openings except the middle gate, standing beside the five avenues paved with white marble.

At this time, outside the palace gate, there were already standing royal ministers, civil and military officials, and 400 new scholars wearing dark blue robes.

At this moment, everyone is a little excited, for the ministers, the Forbidden City is a symbol of imperial power.

And the new scholars are immersed in the shock of the first visit to the Forbidden City, and they can't extricate themselves for a long time.

The main gate of the Forbidden City in front of you falls in the southern section of the central axis of Beijing, which is called Zizi in the north and noon in the south, so it is called 'Noon Gate'!

Its east, west and north sides are connected by three city platforms, surrounding a square square. It is like three mountains surrounding the peak protrusion, and the momentum is incomparably majestic.

The three doors on the front are extremely tall, and the middle one is 11 zhang high, which is breathtaking.

This is the special door for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to enter and exit the forbidden palace, and the trespasser dies......
