One by one, they were named and then distributed.

On most of the papers, the word "tong" is written. There were a few of them, and Xiyue was not very convinced, so she didn't write them. But at least none of the rolls got a "no".

Xiyue explained with a smile: "If you only talk about the content of the answer sheet, there is actually not much to find fault with. Judging from the volumes of Jinshi in previous years, it is not an exaggeration to get all of them. However, it is impossible for the officials to give Yun Shen such a result, and it is difficult for the imperial court to do it, so I will choose the best from above. ”

The results under the test-oriented education are not to say how top-notch, but the stability is certain.

However, even when taking exams, there are talents and novel arguments that cannot be concealed. After all, what Xiyue provides is just a basic framework.

Xiyue paused and said euphemistically: "Some rolls...... The words are a little floating. Then he drank: "Lin Weng Shao is you!"

Lin Weng Shao trembled, turned over his scroll, and said proudly: "Sir, I'm Tong!"

Xiyue said: "It's a pass, if you have seen your volume, I will give it to you." If you haven't seen it, it's hard to say. It's just that he didn't feel very distressed, she felt that there was a difference between being an official and being inappropriate, and Zuo Qianling's personality was not very suitable. And if he wants to become an official, he can continue to take the exam after three years, but his methods may not be so effective at that time.

Confucius said that Zilu was afraid of death. Xiyue didn't want to have such worries herself.

Xiyue took the paper again and gave them two questions. The college gave students a vacation, so that they could go back and wait for the release of the results.

Xiyue promised them that after the list was released, everyone would be feasted.

In this scientific expedition, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials elected a total of nine marking officers. The secretary of the ministry assigned duties to several people and explained the scrolls. repeated the affairs of previous years, and hurriedly let everyone start to read the papers.

After the papers are organized, they are distributed to the examiners.

The waiter brought a cup of tea and walked back to his seat. Slowly open the scroll and scroll down according to the name.

I muttered in my heart that I had to read the papers for a long time, and it was really sleepy to look at the papers of these students.

I caught a glimpse of a familiar one, and after thinking about it, it should be a student of Guozijian, and it didn't look like anything to look at. I took it out and approved it first.

Then continue rummaging. I saw a relatively familiar name again.

Zuo Qianling. Oh yes. It seems that he is the son of the supervising capital imperial history, this group of students of the national eunuch has never studied seriously, so it is better to hurry up and take a look, finish it early, and also draw it out and approve it first.

It's okay not to look at it, but when I look at it, I suddenly wake up.

The eyes glared, what a splendid article! The first A volume of the year, just like that?

It's just that they are not very bad at studying on weekdays, although they have worked hard now, but in such a short time, their grades have improved so quickly? Is he really so powerful, really quick-witted, and still so leaky.

The squire stroked his beard and looked at it again. Keep nodding, it's really good.

Place the scroll on your right hand side for a moment and continue to scroll through the article below.

He was still shocked, so he heard a colleague next to him sigh: "The son who supervises the imperial history of the capital is really promising!"

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites raised his head and said with a smile: "I also have an article here, which is good. It just so happens that like Zuo Gongzi, they are both students of Guozijian. ”

Another examiner wondered, "Is it really that good? Isn't this just the beginning?"

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites immediately said: "It's definitely not bragging, I don't believe you can see for yourself." It is not an exaggeration to belong to the family A. ”

The colleague continued: "I look at Zuo Gongzi, the top three are promising." Neat and tidy, all in one go. Majestic, quite innovative!"

Several people next to him stood up and said, "Tell me to take a look." ”

The official gave up his seat and said, "Come, come, look." It's not just well-written, it's good-written. Li Gongzi's handwriting is really amazing!"

Then they gathered around and put the two copies in the middle for reference.

The only sound in the room was the quiet of turning a book.

"Okay!" one person clapped his hands after reading the answer sheet, "The writing is indeed good." ”

An examiner frowned and said, "After reading this whole article, do you feel a little similar?"

One of them nodded and said, "It's similar, but it's not like it." In my opinion, it is still Li Gongzi's article, which is more brilliant. "They each have different angles, and the points listed are naturally different.

However, what the examiners like the most is the crisp and neat format. At a glance, you can see the context of the whole text clearly. At this point, the two of them are indeed heavy.

But the two have different styles and different backgrounds, but they can still be clearly identified.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites approvingly: "Not inferior, not inferior." ”

One person glanced at it a few times: "In terms of calligraphy attainments, Li Gongzi is still a little better." ”

Several people looked at each other and smiled.

There is no problem with these two articles.

With such attainments at such an age, they are all rare young talents, so why do they have to be different?

Put the roll back to the side and wait for the final judge.

It's just that Zhuyu is in front, and it is inevitable that there will be some disappointment.

After burying his head in this way and carefully criticizing it for half an hour, another person shouted: "Huh...... This ......"

He flipped through it and asked, "Is this person named Lu Chenping also a student of Guozijian?"

A certain official smiled and said: "How do you know this? Is it true that the world's talents are all out of the country's prison, and it doesn't matter what they are doing in that academy? It's just that I'm curious about how they can make such great progress in such a short period of time." ”

He took the answer sheet and walked to the side of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites: "Come, compare and match." ”

Another article with a clear format and a refreshing one.

Reading the papers so far, everyone has already noticed something. looked at the secretary and asked him to preside over the overall situation.

The official department frowned and pondered for a moment, then twisted his beard and said, "Then read the papers." Choose what you think is good first, and then take care of other things. Just according to the original standard. ”

Everyone nodded yes.

The official department Shangshu turned his head, and asked people to sort out the list of students referred to by Guozijian, and then put it in front of the case, and then read the file.

At the end of the day, hundreds of copies of the volume were approved, and a dozen or so were roughly selected first.

With the standard of Guozijian papers, it is really difficult to find other outstanding papers. In the end, the people who were picked out accounted for the majority, and what surprised them even more was that this group of people were all taught by the new champion.

The people didn't believe in evil before, so they picked one and compared the names once. Later, they could even tell at a glance that this was Guozijian's student.

So, here's the problem.

This is mass-produced? This is not right? This answer is poisonous. What exactly is this paper examined?

Several people put down their pen and paper and gathered together to discuss the results.

"So it's ......," the waiter tentatively said, "did they teach it?"

Isn't that Xi Yue! Last year's new champion! Everyone's faces were a little exciting.

There is no prescribed number of people for the admission of Jinshi.

Sometimes one out of twenty, sometimes one out of forty, it all depends on the level of the examinee that year. There is a sense of preferring shortage to abundance.

But this year, that doesn't seem to be going to work.

You don't approve it, do you? The writing is really good. You say batch...... Isn't this year's Guozijian too exaggerated?

Jinshi in their twenties, one or two a year, is already quite rare. Guozijian's situation is not easy to explain to the outside world or to the top.

Xiyue may have the true level to bring students to such an extent. There is no doubt about that.

However, Xiyue is Xiyue, and students are students. I took out a single volume, and I didn't have anything to say. Take it out together, and you can know the truth and falsehood.

It's not appropriate.

This is absolutely impossible.

The official department Shangshu felt a deep headache. What's going on?

The stakes are high, and it is indeed difficult to make a decision.

He propped himself on the table with one hand, looked at the row of rolls, and slowly tapped on the tabletop.

One person said tentatively: "Shouldn't things be so simple, I'm afraid that the students of Guozijian have been prepared for a long time?" Could it be Xiyue...... Know the questions early and then teach them how to deal with them?"

The rest of the people were silent, but there was almost such an idea in their hearts, but it was hard to say.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites shook his hand and said, "This is too serious, inappropriate." ”

The man said, "Now it's just you and I discussing, what's wrong with it?"

Another person said: "Don't say that Liu Youcheng thinks so, and outsiders can't help but think so when they see it." Someone interjected for the waiter of the Ministry of Rites: "Outsiders are outsiders, outsiders don't know the truth, and it is inevitable to speculate." Since you and I are examiners, we should be rigorous in this matter. ”

Seeing that this was about to quarrel, the official department waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go back and rest first." After the paper is finished, we will discuss it. ”

It may indeed be necessary to look into the matter to see if there is anything missing. Sort it out again, and take it to ask His Majesty's opinion.

Everyone put the scrolls back into the distance, said goodbye to each other, and went back first.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites sent them away, and he stood at the door and did not leave.

The official department Shangshu also wanted to ask him, after all, he had always been the chief examiner of the imperial examination.

Seeing him act like this, he knew that he had something to say, so he invited him to the seat next to him, and then asked, "Ye Shilang, what's the matter?" I do have some doubts. ”

After the waiter of the Ministry of Rites took it in one hand, he said with a serious expression: "Before the scientific expedition, I came here to receive the scroll, and found that the seal on the outside of the scroll was not tightly attached. ”

Hearing this, Shangshu's face changed, and he shook his head: "Impossible, after the volume was sent to Shangshu Province, I personally pasted the seal." No one touched it since. ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites said: "I only thought it was loose, so I didn't care." Now it seems that maybe it's really like what You Cheng said, there is something else hidden. ”

The official Shangshu frowned, paced two steps, and turned back and said, "What does this mean by the waiter? Could it be that you also think that the students of Guozijian have cheated?"

"No, no, no. Wang Shangshu misunderstood the meaning of the lower official. The waiter of the Ministry of Rites stood up and said, "If this is the case, you should be a little evasive, how dare you be so bold?"
