Outside the south gate of the West Garden, the cabinet is brightly lit, just like day!

I started grading the papers at four or five o'clock in the morning, except for a short meal and rest in the middle, the rest of the time was spent on grading. Finally, at the end of the day, all the test papers were reviewed according to the fifth-class symbols.

The marking work has not yet been completed, and after the review is completed, a comprehensive review is required, and the chief minister of reading the paper will be the chief inspector as the chief auditor to conduct a comprehensive review. At this time, everyone can speak on the test paper, and after speaking, the chief reading minister will determine the ranking of the test paper.

Yan Song is the chief minister of reading papers, and this review is led by him, and basically all the test papers are ranked according to the order of the fifth-class symbols that everyone reviews, with only one exception.

Yan Songyan Shoufu in the comprehensive evaluation contains "the love of the husband and the government of the upper and lower levels, and the importance of the country." Respect for the monarchy, choose officials, class officials, supervisors, public rewards and punishments" when the test paper, carefully looked at the fifth-class symbols that everyone reviewed, there are six "○" and 2 "△", Yan Shoufu paused with the test paper in his hand, and put the test paper on the table.

"This paper is very well written and colorful, and such marks are debatable, what do you think?" After Yan Song and Yan Ge put the test papers on the table, he looked at the paper readers and asked.

"Lord Yan is reasonable, this test paper is a good work, and the reform of the official governance mentioned in it should be ranked among the first and second grades." As soon as Yan Song's words fell, a paper reader spoke up and praised the test paper.

"Hmm"

Then there were several readers, nodding in agreement with what the first reader said.

Yan Song when he objected to the scoring of this test paper. Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites was a little stunned at first, and he didn't understand why Yan Ge Lao suddenly praised this test paper, he had already told Yan Ge Lao the content of Zhu Ping'an's test paper when he was invigilating. The content of this test paper is completely a popular choice for the champion test paper, and it must not be submitted to the imperial review, so as to ensure that Ouyang Zhong's champion is foolproof, but why does Yan Ge Lao still praise this test paper, does it mean that Yan Ge Lao doesn't want his nephew Ouyang Zishi to be admitted to the top prize?

The left attendant of the Ministry of Rites fell into deep thought.

"The calligraphy of this test paper is excellent, such as the jade of the east mountain and the qin of the west mountain, which is beautiful and happy. Correct. The white jade is slightly flawed, and there are miscellaneous around the beam. This test paper is indispensable for the rule of officials, and it looks very beautiful. However, when it comes to implementation, it is inevitably a mere formality and deviates from reality. Our dynasty adheres to the law of our ancestors and governs the system of freedom of officials. How can you change the constitution in a few words? ”

"Still. Intentions are always excellent. As Master Yan said, this text is brilliant and full of literary brilliance, and I am willing to change my review by one notch to show encouragement. ”

While Zuo Shilang was pondering deeply, the cabinet group next to him spoke.

What the? He wants to change the examination paper from second class to first class? Wouldn't there be six "○" and 1 "△" now, which is about to enter the second class?

Why is this happening?

Could it be that he didn't explain the content of Zhu Ping'an's test paper clearly at the Yanfu banquet last night?

Zuo Shilang began to fall into deep self-confession.

"Hmm. That being the case, then read it again. Yan Song and Yan Ge were after everyone finished speaking. The board was photographed.

Re-reading?

Lord Yan, whatareyou are doing!!

Just when the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites was deeply puzzled, he suddenly saw that Lord Yan Song Yan seemed to have made a gesture unintentionally, pinched his hands together and put them on the test paper, took the test paper in his hand, read it again, and then Yan Ge Lao once again commented on a "○".

At this time, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites finally understood Yan Ge Lao's good intentions, and the gesture that Lord Yan made to himself was to let him give "△" again when he commented. I have to say that Yan Ge is still far-sighted, how can this Zhu Ping'an say that it is also Huiyuan, it is normal for Huiyuan to not be able to enter the first class and not win the champion list, there can be a few people in the three yuan in history, and the entire Ming Dynasty is only one person until now, how can it be so easy to connect the Zhonghui Yuan and the champion! But if Huiyuan can't even get into the second class, it's too much to say! Even if the emperor sees it, he will be suspicious! Give yourself a "△", and the rest of the people will give "○", so that you can ensure that this test paper will enter the second grade.

After the review, the final score of this test paper is seven "○" and one "△".

After more than half an hour of statistics, the ranking of this palace examination is basically out, of course, this is only the statistics of the ministers themselves, and in the end, the emperor has to review the royal approval before the final ranking.

Under the impartial, strict and dedicated evaluation and statistics of the ministers, the first to tenth place papers of this palace examination were also selected and prepared to be submitted to the emperor to personally arrange the ranking.

Theoretically, because the test papers are all sealed, everyone does not know the names and other information of these ten test papers.

However, the first place test paper contains the words "the world is for the public, the holy monarch is unified, the mandate of heaven is inherited, and the people are in the lower body".

This test paper is also full of praise from Yan Song and Yan Ge.

Uh, why use it too?

Because there is also a test paper Yan Song Yan Ge Lao is also full of praise, this test paper contains "the love of the husband and the ruler, and the importance of the country." Respect the power of the monarch, choose the office, the office of the judge, the supervisor of the office, the public reward and punishment"

However, it is a pity that this test paper ranked 11th in the final comprehensive evaluation! It's just one short.,It's a pity.,Otherwise, you can submit a preview.,Maybe there's still a little hope to get a champion list or something.。

Yan Song Yan Ge Lao is also very sorry for this, but there is no way, this is the result, Yan Song Yan Ge Lao read the file impartially, and he can't "follow" his own selfishness to list it in the top ten! Eleven is eleven, at least in the top two ranks.

It's late at night!

It was too late, and he couldn't disturb Emperor Jiajing's rest at this time, so Yan Song and Yan Ge Lao extinguished the idea of wanting to present the top ten test papers at this time, and instead entered Xiyuan early in the morning of the next day to present the top ten test papers of this palace test to Emperor Jiajing.

Everything was planned.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yan Songyan Ge led the remaining seven ministers to take the top ten test papers to Xiyuan.

When Yan Song and Yan Ge first entered the Xiyuan Gate, he happened to meet Huang Jin, who was leading the two little yellow men out of the palace.

"Huang Gong, why are you in such a hurry?"

Yan Song saw Huang Jin and the others from a distance, so he paused, smiled with a smile on his face, and greeted Huang Jin from afar.

"Lord Yan, you are here, I have been reading for a day last day, so I will not send me early in the morning to see how Lord Yan has commented." Huang Jin led the two little yellow doors over, and looked at Yan Song and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, that's a coincidence, I'm here to deliver the test paper to the saint." Yan Song smiled when he heard this.

"Clever good, clever wonderful." Huang Jin was overjoyed.

"Then let's go." Yan Song opened his mouth and said, knowing that the emperor was waiting for the test papers, he naturally didn't dare to slack off.

"Don't be in a hurry, dare to ask Lord Yan what is the test paper for this dedication to the Holy Emperor?" Huang Jin shook his head, looked at the test paper that Yan Song and they brought and asked.

"According to the usual practice, the top ten test papers reviewed in this temple examination." Yan Song was a little puzzled by Huang Jin's words.

"Not enough, not enough. Add ten more. Huang Jin shook his head.

Ten more copies?

The ministers who read the scroll looked at each other when they heard this, and then they whispered, according to the convention, the top ten of the Holy Imperial Tour, why do you want to be in the top 20 in this palace examination?

"Why, do you disagree with the Holy One's decision?" Huang Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked softly without smiling.

"Don't dare, don't dare" The ministers shook their heads one after another, joking, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, what does the emperor want to do, which one dares to have objections, not to mention just reading ten more test papers.

Theoretically speaking, all the test papers of the palace examination should be read by the emperor, and ten copies are just a convention. Not to mention that the emperor wants to read ten more copies, even ten more copies will be made.

It's rare that Your Majesty has worked hard, why don't I do it!

However, Yan Song, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites and Cabinet Qunfu looked a little strange, probably a little surprised by Emperor Jiajing's sudden efforts to govern the country, in the eyes of everyone.

In fact, Emperor Jiajing didn't think about any hard work, but he dreamed last time that Taizu was a little weak-hearted.

Ten years before his accession to the throne, Emperor Jiajing was still working hard to govern the country and dedicate himself to state affairs, and the Ming Dynasty also rarely showed signs of Zhongxing. It's just that later Emperor Jiajing cultivated immortals and alchemized pills, and so far he has not been in court for many years, and he is dedicated to cultivating immortals, seeking immortality every day, and does not care about the government.

I dreamed of Taizu, especially Taizu still looking at himself and not speaking!

How could Emperor Jiajing not be weak-minded, thinking that he would perform well, pay more attention to state affairs, and use more heart on the Jiangshan Sheji, the current palace test is just a major event related to the Jiangshan Sheji, Emperor Jiajing thought about using more than one heart, the previous dynasty practice was to read ten copies, this time I read twenty copies, and I use one more heart than you! Behave well, and next time you dream of Taizu, you can face Taizu. (To be continued.) )
