On March 25, the 13th day of the Spring Festival examination has passed, and the tense marking and evaluation has also entered the 13th day. m.jznzt.

Generally speaking, there are only two main examiners and a number of sub-examiners in the Great Song Imperial Examination, but because of the large number of people in this Spring Examination, three chief examiners have been set up instead of previous years, and the number of people who participate in the evaluation of examination papers has reached 27.

The imperial court required the results of the imperial examination to be published within one month, also known as the release of the list. However, generally speaking, the list will be released about 15 days in advance. First, to take care of the mood of the lifters who are eager to know the result, and do not have to delay the result. Second, many people come to the capital far from home, and the longer they stay in the capital, the greater the cost. This is a heavy burden for most people from ordinary families. For the three, it will not take a month if there are enough people to read the papers. The deadline was just to give the examiner enough time to prevent the matter of winning the country from becoming hasty.

The chief and deputy examiners and the court officials who participated in the marking of the papers actually hoped to end this work as soon as possible. After all, the Great Song Imperial Examination was extremely strict, and all the examiners and officials involved in the marking and invigilation of the examination had lost their personal freedom from the time the proposition was finalized and the identity appointment was issued. This is the lock-up system of the Great Song Dynasty. Its purpose is self-evident, and it is naturally to prevent the leakage of test questions and to prevent the occurrence of fraud in the imperial examination. All officials who invigilate and mark the papers are completely restricted to the activities of the Gongyuan, and they are strictly forbidden to have any contact with the outside world. Therefore, in the first half month or so of the Spring Festival, these people were no longer able to see anyone, and it continued until after all the papers were marked, which lasted for more than a month.

This period of more than a month is very difficult, it is comparable to being in prison. Therefore, the sooner the marking and admission work is completed, the sooner they can go home. This is also one of the reasons why the release of the big exam is generally completed ten days and half a month in advance.

The Jinxian Building of the Gongyuan is the place where the examination is marked, a small building with a total of three floors, the top floor is the residence of several chief and deputy examiners, the middle floor is the public room where the examiner's marking is discussed and evaluated, and the hall on the lowest floor is the place where more than 20 officials who participated in the marking of the papers are concentrated.

The process of grading the papers is not complicated, but the project is huge. The first step is to transcribe the test paper. In order to prevent cheating in marking marks or handwriting recognition on the examination papers, all the answer sheets will be transcribed on special paper in block letters in pavilion style. More than 18,000 examination papers, and 50 students from Guozi Taixue were selected to transcribe for three days and three nights under the supervision of a special person, and only then did they transcribe all the answer sheets, and the numbers were consistent. After that, it officially entered the marking process.

Naturally, the examiners did not go through all the answer sheets in person, so wouldn't it exhaust them to death. The general process is as follows: the examiner explains the general idea of each exam question to the examiner, and after putting forward the key points of evaluation, the examiner will conduct a preliminary evaluation according to the scoring ideas given by the examiners. After the preliminary evaluation, only about one-tenth of the excellent answer sheets will remain, and these excellent answer sheets will finally enter the field of vision of the main and deputy examiners for more detailed marking and evaluation. This is actually the most critical and cumbersome step.

During the preliminary evaluation, the chief and deputy examiners will patrol and supervise the preliminary evaluation, and the main and deputy examiners will conduct random spot checks at any time for the answers eliminated in the preliminary evaluation. Hundreds of them are randomly inspected every day for re-evaluation to prevent omissions and fraud by the marking officials, or deliberate for some other reason. There will be a record of who marked the paper, when the paper was marked, and what the reason for the elimination was, there will be a detailed record. If there is an obvious error, the examiner will be severely held accountable and even interrogated. That's no joke.

Although these measures cannot be said to be completely able to eliminate cheating and injustice, they can basically ensure the fairness of the entire process of marking and evaluating the imperial examination, and it is fair to the vast majority of people, and that is a successful imperial examination system.

On the thirteenth day of grading, the preliminary evaluation ended three days ago. The three main examiners on the second floor and the six deputy examiners have been reading the papers in person for three days in the lobby on the second floor. More than half of the more than 1,000 excellent answers have been reviewed, and they will all be completed in a day or two. Among them, there will be hundreds of lucky winners, who will be divided into first, second, and third according to the results of the evaluation, and all of them will become the lucky ones who will enter the office.

On the large long table, a large number of transcripted answers were piled up. Several chief and deputy examiners are concentrating on marking the papers, reading good chapters, and will also praise a few times, circulate to each other to appreciate and comment. Most of the time, Wan Qiwei and Tang Siwei communicated a lot, while the other examiner, Shi Hao, quietly browsed the answer sheet, and from time to time used the pen in his hand to write the words of evaluation on the answer sheet. After all, even if you are the main examiner, you have to give reasons for who you don't take, not purely based on preference.

It was getting dark, and the lights were already up. In order to finish the review as soon as possible, tonight must be another sleepless night.

"Bastard! Who reviewed the answers? How could such a rebellious chapter let him pass? Brother Yuan Zhong, look at this chapter, it's bold, this is a shameless attack on the emperor, the court, and the Qin Xiang! I actually let it pass. In the silence of a piece of paper turning, Tang Siwei suddenly said loudly in annoyance. Yuan Zhong is Wan Qiao's expression, and his words are said to Wan Qiao.

Everyone was startled and looked up at him. Wan Qiyu frowned and said, "Lord Tang, don't be excited, I'll take a look." ”

Tang Siwei handed the answer sheet to Wan Qiao, Wan Qiwei took it and read it quickly, his brows furrowed, shaking the answer sheet, and making a loud noise. "How can it be justified? It's really hateful, and such an answer sheet can also pass? Hit it now. There are such people among the lifters, which is worth being wary of. Master Tang, it seems that there are some things that need to be more vigilant to prevent such thoughts from spreading. Qin Xiang said that many people have emotions that conflict with the policies of the imperial court in their hearts, and they are the most popular among readers, which seems to be not a lie. Not only was he to be deposed, but he was to find out who had instilled such ideas in him, and from whom he had learned these absurd remarks. ”

"What Brother Yuan Zhong said is extremely true, and it is necessary to investigate thoroughly!" Tang Si retreated: "The marker also needs to check, let this answer pass the test, this marker also has a problem." ”

"Yes, check it too." Wan Qian pinched his goatee and nodded.

The answer sheet was thrown aside by Wan Qiaowei in a large stack of tall answer sheets, which were all the answer sheets that had been screened and eliminated. Although the owners of the answer sheets lying in the stack of answer sheets have passed the first level, the second level has been eliminated, and their fate has been sealed.

After reviewing an answer sheet in his hand, Shi Hao was in a bad mood. So far, he has not been satisfied with the answers. Especially on the last topic, few people dare to pinpoint the disadvantages of the times on the topic of ZTE, which makes Shi Hao a little disappointed. The purpose of his question is to see what the current Da Song Juzi still thinks about the Zhongxing of the Great Song Dynasty, and whether he can put forward some good suggestions. At the same time, it is also necessary to see how many people in the Great Song Dynasty have confidence in the hope of Zhongxing after decades have passed, and there are still many people who are still difficult to let go of the shame of Jingkang. Have you forgotten the misery that the Great Song Dynasty experienced in the near past and the fact that Gou An is in the current situation? However, the more he read the papers, the more disappointed and cold he became.

He scratched his boots with a brush behind the chapter of the answer sheet in front of him, and after taking his comments to the left and right, he stood up and picked up the answer sheet, walked to the pile of eliminated answer sheets, and put the answer sheet in his hand. At that moment, his gaze swept to the corner of the answer sheet below, and saw a few words written on it.

"Today, the chieftains are cowardly, the government decrees are becoming more and more relaxed, and the chief of the saddle horse is sher, and he is engaged in the superficial habits of Zhongzhou, and the monarch and the ministers are becoming more and more lazy. Since ancient times, the strength of Yidi has not changed for forty or fifty years, and the time of the day is not far away. If you don't plan it at this time, even if you have changed, how can you take advantage of it. In case the captives are punished, the Lord will be ordered; Otherwise, if the heroes rise together, the industry will belong to his surname, and the trouble between the north and the south will begin. Moreover, it has been a long time since I crossed to the south, and the fathers and elders of the Central Plains have been thanking each other for their deaths, and they have grown up in Rong, how do you know that there is me! ”

Shi Hao's eyebrows trembled when he read these sentences, and his face was surprised. After stretching out, Shi Hao was amazed and overjoyed.

"Well written, well written. It's so majestic, it's wonderful. That's the essence of this question. Shi Hao exclaimed loudly.

Wan Qiyu and Tang Siwei both turned their heads to look at Shi Hao in surprise, but they heard Shi Hao ask: "Who is this who dismissed this answer sheet?" Isn't that nonsense? Isn't that a joke? ”

Wan Qiaoyu and Tang Siwei both stood up and walked over, and at a glance they saw the answer sheet marked with a black cross with a black pen. Looking at the chapter again, it was the exam paper that the two of them had severely criticized and said that they would investigate thoroughly, and their faces suddenly became gloomy.

"It's the decision of the old man and Lord Tang, Lord Shi, what's the matter? Do you have any doubts? Wan Qian said in a deep voice.

Shi Hao frowned and said, "What is wrong with this answer sheet?" The first few articles are written in a decent manner, but the latter one is a wonderful work, the words are sincere, the reason is smooth, and the rhetoric is sharp, which is a rare masterpiece. This is a rare and good chapter that I have seen so far. Not to mention the top three, at least it is among the top one. How did you get rid of it? It really doesn't make sense. Isn't this a misguided child? ”

Wan Qiaoyu and Tang Siwei glanced at each other, and they both saw the annoyance in each other's eyes. Shi Hao was ashamed to say that he dared to accuse the two of him like this, it was too rude.
