On the sixth day of marking, the work of the examination school and the re-examination center has been completed, and all the Jinshi examination papers have been presented to the three detailed judges!

The examination papers of this hall examination will be ranked by the three detailed judges. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is not too difficult a job, because as long as it is not a very special case, the detailed judge will still judge the results of the preliminary examination and re-examination.

The three detailed officials tore open the seal of the preliminary examiner, and compared the judgment of the examiner, if the judgment of the two is consistent, the grade of this palace examination paper can be directly determined.

Because there are actually standards to follow, such as knowledge, literature and science, rhetoric, etc., it is not difficult to judge the difference between good and bad. So in the case of seven or eight percent, the result of the initial examination and re-examination is the same.

The remaining two or three percent of the examination papers, whether it should be subject to the judgment of the initial examiner or the judgment of the repeat examiner, for these three are well-known and well-educated people, it is naturally clear at a glance, and it is not difficult.

Therefore, in only a day and a half, the three detailed officials completed all the papers.

On the afternoon of the seventh day, their last remaining work was to select ten copies of what they thought were the best from the first and second class scrolls, and submit them to the Taoist officials' palace for the final approval of the officials.

Of course, this time they only need to select nine copies, because the official family has already selected one of them, and that is the exam paper of the candidate named Zhong Hao that he personally reviewed during the palace examination.

Because the examiner's family in this hall is the chief examiner, of course, the ranking of these three detailed officials should consider the holy will of the official's family. The three deputy examiners are just selected for the official family, so they naturally have to follow the wishes of the official family.

Zhong Hao's test paper had already been picked out when it was sealed and copied, so his test paper was not sealed at all. The officials have all reviewed it, why do you want to do it more?!

Zhong Hao's test paper was actually sent directly to the three detailed officials at the beginning.

Liu Chang, Huang Zhen and Mei Yaochen, the three detailed officials, naturally treated Zhong Hao's test papers specially.

After all three of them read Zhong Hao's test paper, they all felt that this test paper was actually very ordinary.

The poems are very jerky, without any beauty, and the theory of his strategy is also very loose, but the content is quite substantial, and it can be regarded as something to say.

The official's comment on this test paper is only two words, and it is written with a red pen "Acceptable"!

Liu Chang and the other three examiners actually feel that this test paper can only be said to be acceptable! Even strictly speaking, even the word "acceptable" does not reach the comment.

They don't know the candidate named Zhong Hao who was personally reviewed by the official, and they don't know why the official family would mark his test paper alone.

The three magistrates also know a lot about those who are famous and highly educated in Tokyo. There are also the talented scholars in the Guozijian and Taixue, they also know some of them.

But Zhong Hao has always been in the local area before, and he just came to Tokyo to save the exam, so he is really not famous in Tokyo.

Speaking of Zhong Hao's "doing" of the popular lyrics such as "Water Tune Song Head" and "Qingyu Case", the three detailed officials have probably heard it.

Zhong Hao "wrote" the rhyme books of "Liweng Rhyme" and "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment", and they may have seen it.

But apparently they didn't associate this Zhong Hao with other Zhong Hao, after all, the name Zhong Hao was too ordinary. There are so many people in Da Song who have this name, and it is difficult to connect them if they are not familiar with him.

If there is no personal review by the official, Liu Chang and the other three detailed officials will probably unanimously agree that this test paper should be classified as the top three.

But there is no if in this matter, and the official family has indeed reviewed it now.

Therefore, Liu Chang and the three of them naturally couldn't just treat this test paper according to their own will.

Although the official family did not explicitly put Zhong Hao's test paper in the top ten, since the official family reviewed this candidate's test paper separately, it is obvious that this candidate is Jian Zai's heart, and the three detailed officials cannot ignore this. If the ranking is too low, I am afraid that the official family will not look good, and I am afraid that I will definitely be unhappy.

Therefore, Liu Chang and the other three finally agreed to put this test paper into the top ten test papers.

…………

At dawn the next day, that is, the eighth day after the palace examination, and also two days before the release of the list, the official family was promoted in the Chongzheng Palace, the examiners were divided into left and right classes, and the guards of the Imperial City Division carried all the examination papers to the palace.

Liu Chang presented the ten best papers selected for this examination.

At this time, all the volumes, including these ten good volumes, were not opened, and no one knew which one was made by whom.

Well, it's not like we all don't know who made the paper. At least at the bottom of the ten test papers in the tray, the three of them knew who did it.

The bottom copy in this tray is Zhong Hao's test paper that the official has personally reviewed.

The reason why it is placed at the bottom of this tray is that although the three detailed officials take care of the face of the official family very much, they are not the kind of officials who have no character at all, they still have a little bit of style.

In their opinion, this volume is said to be only ranked in the top three, but since the official family has personally reviewed it, they have to put it in the top ten! They can only put it in the last place, that is, the tenth position.

The personal eunuch of the official family, Wang Yan, took the tray and presented it to the emperor, and the official Zhao Zhen will read the first ten test papers in detail, and finally determine the ranking.

Looking at the ten test papers stacked on top of each other in the yellow silk tray, Zhao Zhen's mood was a little excited.

Although this is Zhao Zhen's 10th palace examination paper, but think about it, the generations of famous ministers under his rule have stepped into their careers from under him, started their brilliant lives, and created an unprecedented prosperous ~ flowing Song Dynasty, he always feels very honored.

Calming down, he picked up the top paper.

The order of the examination papers in this tray is the initial ranking of the detailed officials, but the ranking of the palace examination must be determined by the king, so only this silent hint is used.

Under normal circumstances, the official family recognizes the ranking drawn up by the marking officer, and only makes individual changes, and then opens the seal after the ranking is decided.

Of course, there is also the possibility of changing the ranking after unpacking, mainly to change the candidate for the champion.

The official family has this privilege, but this is usually the final adjustment of the whole picture, but this is rarely the case.

However, this is only a rare occurrence, but it is not uncommon.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the second year of the Qingli Renwu Branch Examination.

In the palace examination of that subject, several detailed officials have always believed that Wang Anshi should be the first in the palace examination. But after the official family read his test papers, he was very unhappy because of the words 'children and friends' in his endowment, and he didn't like Wang Anshi's cold and steep style, so he pressed him to the fourth.

And the second and third places are all officials, that is, they took the test in the lock hall, so the champion fell to Yang Liao, so it also achieved the glory of Yang Liao's three yuan.

Of course, this is just an official statement, and many people who know the inside story actually know that the reason why the official family defeated Wang Anshi's champion is actually a very inhumane reason. That was Yang Liao, who was originally the fourth in the exam, and was valued by Queen Cao and wanted to call him to be his niece and son-in-law, so Wang Anshi fell out with him.

Therefore, after this unpacking, it is not impossible to change the champion candidate.

However, this time, the official family took the test papers in the tray from the first one to Zhong Hao, who was ranked last, and had no opinion on the order of the three detailed officials.

The officials basically only look at the top ten papers, and they generally don't look at the rankings of the more than 300 jinshi after that, and they generally follow the rankings of those detailed officials.

Liu Chang and the other three detailed officials, seeing that the officials quite agreed with the ranking of the three and did not have any opinions, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Obviously, although the official family wants to take care of the candidate named Zhong Hao, he is still very moderate, and he does not have to be ranked too conspicuously. Well, of course 10th place is not too low.

Liu Chang and the other three examiners felt a sigh of relief at the same time, they also felt very bright on their faces. The officials can fully agree with their rankings, obviously trust them very much, and at the same time agree with their vision. This shows that the three of them have completed the work of marking the palace examination papers very well, which is very satisfactory to the officials.

If the officials are satisfied, there will naturally be some good things that will happen to them in the future. Since they have done a good job, there is no merit and hard work, and the officials have always had clear rewards and punishments, which is naturally indispensable for their rewards.

Therefore, Liu Chang and the three of them were excited.

Since the official family has no opinion on the ranking of the top ten, then the next step can be unpacked.

So under the gaze of the officials and the examiners, several small yellow doors used paper cutters to first unseal the top ten test papers in this tray.

Then there was a small yellow door on the side of the roll call: the first place was Zheng Zheng from Ningzhou, the second was Shen Zhen from Huzhou, the third was Wang Shifu from Xuzhou, the fourth was Xu Wudang from Caozhou, and the fifth was Qin Yu from Xuzhou...... Until the tenth Qingzhou native Zhong Hao.

The first to third places are the champions of the current department, the list eye, and the three tripod armor, that is, the first class of the current branch and the first three people.

The sixth to tenth places are naturally the top few of the second class, in fact, the fourth place Xu Wudang, that is, the first place in the second class, also known as the Golden Palace, is also quite beautiful.

Of course, the fifth Qin Yu to the tenth Zhong Hao are slightly less interesting than the previous four, but the birth of the Jinshi is glorious enough.

Well, in fact, in addition to the top ten, the first place in the top three is also called the Jade Palace, which is actually quite beautiful when it comes to the ceremony. Of course, this scenery is not only the scenery when it is in the main hall, but at other times, the third class is born with the same jinshi, and it is far less real than the second class is given to the jinshi.

However, although this ranking is sung, this is not the final ranking, because there is also an interview for the top ten, also called "Xiao Chuanyu".

It is the exciting Golden Temple roll call. It is said that on the day of the Golden Palace, the ranking of the Jinshi can be known, but in fact, on the day before, the official family will summon the top ten in the palace in the Jiying Palace, commonly known as the 'Little Chuanyu', the purpose of which is to observe the wind of the three tripod armor that is about to be baked to prevent accidents.

For example, if a certain Jinshi brother in the top ten is a person with an obscene image, or suffers from severe rickets, and other unsightly disabilities, then even if he is better than Li Du, he has to be relegated to the bottom line.

Because the purpose of the imperial examination is to elect officials who manage the people on behalf of the imperial court, Sandingjia represents the face of the imperial court, at least the image cannot be ashamed.

Therefore, after today's top ten roll calls, the Ministry of Rites will immediately send someone to notify the top ten candidates that tomorrow, that is, the day before the ceremony, let them go to the palace to meet them, that is, to participate in the "Little Chuanyu"!

Of course, the Ministry of Etiquette officials will also tell them what they should prepare, such as dress, etiquette, etc.

As for the ranking of Jinshi after the top ten, it generally does not change, and it is basically the ranking of the roll call when the seal is opened.

………………

When Zhong Hao received an official from the Ministry of Rites on the eighth day after the palace examination to inform him to participate in the "Little Chuanlu", he couldn't help but fall into a dream, and he was in a trance for a while.

It is no wonder that today's Great Song Dynasty is, after all, an era of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and Jinshi and the first are undoubtedly a glorious thing at first sight.

To be honest, Zhong Hao didn't expect to be admitted to the Jinshi when he came to Tokyo, but now that he has not only won the Jinshi, but also has a high ranking, he is naturally very excited.

After Yang Huaiyu and Mrs. Du found out, they came to congratulate one after another.

Xu Feng came to congratulate with envy on his face. In fact, Xu Feng's literary level is much higher than Zhong Hao's. He has been urged to study by his academy mountain elder father from below, and his level is naturally very high, far from being comparable to a half-person like Zhong Hao.

However, Zhong Hao's provincial examination results were among the best, and the palace examination was able to participate in the "Little Chuanlu", which couldn't help but make Xu Feng envious and jealous.

Of course, as a close friend for many years, Xu Feng sincerely congratulated Zhong Hao on achieving such good results.

In fact, Zhong Hao knew that with his own level, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get such a high ranking. The reason why I was able to participate in this "little biography" was that the official family was mainly the official family who personally reviewed their own papers.

Of course, no matter what, Zhong Hao is still very happy with this achievement.

Maybe Zhong Hao's results will be pointed out by the sun in the future, after all, with his level, if there is no official family to take care of him, I am afraid it will be difficult to enter the top ten.

Some Jinshi who did not get good results in the exam will inevitably have to be covered with a little sour water when they talk about it in the future.

For this special mention of the official family, perhaps some face-loving literati will feel a little embarrassed.

But Zhong Hao doesn't have the temperament of some literati who want to save face and suffer crimes, and he cares more about the benefits of benefits.

Xu Feng had never participated in this "Little Chuanlu", but he had heard of this "Little Chuanlu", that is, the official family observed the demeanor and conversation of these top-ranked Jinshi, and there was no need to be too nervous.

Xu Feng said with a smile: "With Wenxuan's graceful demeanor, there is no problem with this 'little Chuanxuan'. Besides, you are the official who personally raised the point, even if you beat anyone out of the top ten, it is impossible to beat you out. Hehe, the third brother is really a little envious of Wenxuan, you're afraid that you're already in the emperor's heart! ”

As soon as Zhong Hao heard Xu Feng's words, the nervousness and helplessness of this "little Chuanyun" dissipated.

At that moment, Zhong Hao listened to Xu Feng's words of envy for himself, and just smiled wryly: "Luck, luck......"
