The results of the temple trial production department will be released on the spot. The method used is, the candidate does not write the name, on the spot to tear off a piece of paper without words on the paper, because everyone tears off the paper can not be the same, so it forms a most basic anti-counterfeiting, of course, this is only in the case of only thirty palace examination candidates will be used in the case, if there are so many people in the regular department, you can't do this.

The person who marks the paper has his back, and the little eunuch collects the paper in disorder, and then the examinee leaves the table, standing with his hands tied, and the person who marks the paper in turn, using Zhu to make a mark on the paper without a name. If you think it's good, draw a circle, if you think it's bad, you put a cross, and finally decide the level of the article according to the number of circles and crosses. If two articles are identical, the emperor will make the final decision, and the emperor will not participate.

Reading an article is naturally much faster than writing an article. It took an hour to answer the questions, and it only took half an hour to mark the papers. The result was placed in front of Li Shimin, there were two volumes, both of which got nine circles, one is Li Mu's Six Kingdoms Theory, and the other Li Shimin doesn't know who it is, called "Chen Shi Zhengshu", the name is not novel, and there are no bright spots in the choice of words and sentences, it can be said that there is not much literary brilliance, just like a twist, but each of them is very reasonable, and the analysis is also very thorough. I can't find anything wrong with it, so I got nine circles.

Li Shimin Gao Gonggong read the first two sentences, Ma Zhou stood up, compared the missing corners, and decided that it was his volume.

Li Shimin actually had a decision in his heart, and he wanted Li Mu to be the champion. In addition to personal feelings, for this article, he is more inclined to Li Mu's article. Because of Li Mu's "Theory of the Six Kingdoms", in addition to expounding the truth, the examples given are also very good, the writing is brilliant, and the words are gorgeous. It gives people the feeling that they are sprinkled and majestic, and there is still room for power. It's like a talented person, who does it casually and is stylish.

And Ma Zhou's article, there is no bright spot at all, if it weren't for the main hall, watching him write it, just say that this article was written by Wei Zheng, it was written by the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin would not doubt it at all, this is an ordinary recital, it is like an ordinary student's standard answer sheet, the questions, all answered correctly, but this is his best play. If there is a perfect score of 100 points, he and Li Mu are both 100 points. But if it is a perfect score of 1,000 points, Li Mu may be worth 500, but he is still 100 points, and he has reached the top.

Now Li Shimin finally understands why Li Mu wants to answer with Li Xunhuan's name, and after knowing that the article is Li Mu, this champion is really bad. If you order Li Mu, others will definitely say that they are all the same nine circles, why not order Ma Zhou? Ma Zhou is more suitable for the position of champion?

And Li Shimin deliberately pretended not to know that "The Theory of the Six Kingdoms" was written by Li Mu, and it didn't work out. You stood by for almost an hour, and you said you didn't see who could believe it?

Li Shimin pursed his lips and was silent, and when the eldest grandson Wuji saw this, he guessed Li Shimin's thoughts, it must be two nine-circle articles, and it is difficult to decide. Moreover, one of them must be Li Mu's article, and His Majesty wants to make Li Mu the champion, and he has some scruples.

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes rolled, this is a good opportunity to sell favors, he took a step forward and asked knowingly, "Your Majesty is embarrassed?" ”

"Hmm." Li Shimin nodded, looked at the scroll in his left hand, and then at the scroll in his right hand, and said, "I appreciate these two articles very much." A brilliant and enjoyable to read, and the way of thinking is also a different way, thinking of things that I can't imagine, and benefiting a lot. The other article is delicate and old-fashioned. I have nine circles, and I can't decide for a while, it's really embarrassing. ”

"Your Majesty, if this is not the case, the minister has a suggestion. The palace examination is compared to the article, the candidates, do the article every day, they can go to the palace examination, which shows that they are the ones who stand out, and they have their own standards for the quality of the article. Your Majesty may wish to ask someone to read these two articles aloud, and let the candidates choose which one is better, and if it can convince the public, it must be good. ”

"This ......" Li Shimin was a little hesitant, although he was relatively confident that Li Mu's article could be more brilliant, but he couldn't guess the candidate's thoughts. There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. It is a matter of our own to be light-hearted by literati, in case because of Li Mu's good literary talent, these candidates are not angry and deliberately do not choose him, wouldn't Li Mu not get this champion?

"Your Majesty! The minister also has an immature little suggestion! ”

Just when Li Shimin was hesitating, Li Mu suddenly spoke. Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart What is wrong with this kid, now is the time when you should avoid suspicion, what do you say!

"Say!"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister just heard that when he didn't know that the minister was Li Xunhuan, he summoned the minister to the two halls to be a marking officer. Didn't the people say that one government, three provinces and six ministries? As the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the minister should also be qualified to read the file, right? ”

"Huh?"

Are everyone stupid? This person is going to be shameless! You take the exam, you mark the paper by yourself, then it's a fart, you yourself order yourself to be the champion, is there such a trick?

Li Shimin glared at Li Mu fiercely and said, "Li Mu, don't mess around, you should avoid suspicion, don't you know?" ”

Li Mu said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the ancients said: the virtuous do not avoid relatives and enemies, and seek their own politics in their positions. His Majesty's invitation to the six departments of the three provinces to be the examiners of the file was originally intended to let the six departments of the three provinces have a certain understanding of this year's new promotions, read their articles, and know their people. In the future, if the government needs it, it can be focused on. Minister, the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in charge of such a big mess of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Your Majesty, you also understand, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in urgent need of talents, you can't be so partial, only let the three provinces and six ministries pick talents, don't let the Ministry of Internal Affairs pick talents, can this be justified? ”

"I'm really you off, is that one thing!"

"Your Majesty, if you don't ask the candidates, if no one is interested in the Internal Affairs Office, then the minister won't look at it."

Li Shimin took a deep breath, suppressed the nameless fire in his heart, and said: "Okay, I ask, ask, wait for the candidates, who wants to go to the Internal Affairs Office?" ”

"Wait and go!"

At least half of them, Li Shimin was taken aback, are the officials of the Internal Affairs Office so popular now? You must know that in the internal affairs office, the official quality appointed by Li Mu is insufficient, and its grade is only counted within the internal affairs office, corresponding to the number of Yulu, but in the imperial court, only the officials officially appointed by the Ministry of Officials enjoy the treatment of court officials. In the Internal Affairs Office, only the chief of the Nine Bureaus and One Guard has the writing of the Ministry of Officials, in other words, the current 'director' of Changsun Chong and others is not considered to be an official official official of the imperial court.

Such an official, there are also people who rob it?
