The official family wanted to take a look at this test paper, but several deputy examiners below were staring at the official's expression to see his reaction to the article. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

According to the regulations, the test papers of this palace examination still need to be sealed and copied, but if the official family has a whim and marks a few test papers on the spot, it is completely okay. Moreover, under normal circumstances, the papers approved by the officials, whether the grades are good or bad, the other marking officers need to follow the opinions of the officials.

After all, today's official family is the chief examiner of this palace exam, and no matter what he does, it is basically reasonable.

However, if the official family reads this volume, but does not directly write a comment with a red pen. These are needed as the marking officer and the deputy examiner to evaluate the results of this paper!

This is obviously a bit of a test for several deputy examiners. Obviously, the official family has read this test paper, and these deputy examiners are judging this paper, and they need to meet the expectations of the official family, otherwise they will make the official family unhappy.

Therefore, several deputy examiners stared closely at the official, so as to draw the basis for judging the paper from his expressions and movements.

The impression of the official on this paper directly affects the results of this volume.

Zhong Hao, who was sitting in the examination room below, also stared at him very nervously when he saw the official family looking at his papers. Although he felt that even if he was born in the top three with the Jinshi, in terms of his level, it could be regarded as a big luck.

But who wouldn't want a better result if they could?!

………………

The official Zhao Zhen took Zhong Hao's test paper, and the first thing that caught his eye was the test-taking poem and the subsequent test-taking fu.

Zhao Zhen roughly read this poem, and shook his head again and again, Zhong Hao's poem was indeed very rough in his opinion.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: This kid's lyrics such as "Water Tune Song Head", "Qingyu Case", "Ding Fengbo", "Man Jianghong" and other lyrics, but the first capital is a classic, and the first capital is a lyric that can last for centuries! With such a powerful skill in lyrics, the poetry should not be too bad. This poem and lyrics are originally things that touch the same direction and lead to the same end, with Zhong Hao's level, how can this poem not be written so poorly? !

Moreover, this Zhong Hao has also done the enlightenment rhyme books of "Liweng Rhyme" and "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment", and he must be very good at this poem rhyme, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a catchy enlightenment rhyme book. Then he shouldn't be so careless in poetry!

Therefore, no matter from which point of view, how can this Zhong Hao do this palace exam to take the poetry should not be so bad?

However, Zhao Zhen thought about it and seemed to understand some of the reasons.

Zhao Zhen estimates that this problem may still lie in the limitations of the rules and regulations of this test-taking poem!

In the past, he has also seen many candidates who are amazing and glamorous, and the poems they make are also very mediocre. Of course, the poems of those candidates he had seen before were slightly better than those on Zhong Hao's test paper, but they were only slightly better.

In Zhao Zhen's view, I am afraid that the more talented candidates are, the more uncomfortable they feel about these rules and regulations, after all, these rules and regulations limit their play, limit their talents, and I am afraid that they will be uncomfortable. Strictly follow these rules and regulations to choose words and sentences, I am afraid that it is a painful torture for this kind of talented candidates!

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but bow slightly. Obviously, I understand the pain of a talented candidate like Zhong Hao doing this poetry exam question with many rules and regulations.

If Zhong Hao knew that the official family had found a reasonable reason for his sloppy poetry, he would be afraid that he couldn't help but hug the official family's thighs and shouted: Bosom friend~~

Zhong Hao really wants to thank this test-taking poem for having so many rules and regulations!

Zhao Zhen finished reading Zhong Hao's poems, and then went to see Zhong Hao's strategy.

This time, Zhao Zhen read it and was very satisfied, looking at Zhong Hao's strategy, he couldn't help nodding frequently.

After all, Zhong Hao had been in Hexi and had a lot of contact with the Xixia people. He also accompanied the Western Army to the south, not only fought with Nong Zhigao's army, but also participated in the pursuit of Nong Zhigao's remnants across the southwest of the various states, and also went with the army to annihilate the Jiaozhi army!

Therefore, he is quite knowledgeable about the affairs of the border of the Great Song Dynasty. Not only the neighboring countries such as the Western Xia Kingdom and the Jiaozhi Kingdom, but also the fetters of Guangyuan Prefecture, he has some understanding, so his articles are still relatively dry.

When other candidates make this policy here, most of them blindly preach the examination of benevolence and virtue to influence those barbarians, and they are all the kind of arguments such as "if people from afar are not satisfied, they will cultivate literature and morality".

Zhong Hao's strategy is different from theirs, and the first focus he emphasizes is that if he wants to stabilize the four provinces, he must have a military guarantee. Only with sufficient force can we protect the people of our own country from being endangered, and can we deter those barbarians and neighboring countries on the border!

Zhong Hao felt that only under this premise could he "cultivate Wende". If we don't have this guarantee of force and can't deter them, we just blindly rely on "cultivating Wende," and I'm afraid that they will never be able to "come." On the contrary, it is very likely that they will be despised by those barbarians, not only will they not "come", but they are also very likely to bully the people of the Great Song Dynasty on the border or simply raise troops to invade the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in this strategy, Zhong Hao's argument is a clear statement that if you want to "cultivate Wende", you must have enough force to subdue them now.

Zhong Hao's strategy does not cite scriptures and classics to discuss the present with the past, but uses real examples of his own experience to discuss the tone of his policy theory.

In fact, Zhong Hao's strategy essay is very ordinary, but there are a lot of dry goods in the article! If those who are just looking for chapters and sentences in the pavilion and sorting out literature and history among the examiners see it, I am afraid that Zhong Hao's policy can only be classified as inferior.

Because it is a bit rough and unbearable to use its literary theory and word choice to form sentences. In their eyes, those gorgeous articles with gorgeous rhetoric and smooth writing and science are really good articles.

But in the eyes of the official Zhao Zhen, Zhong Hao's article really wrote what he wanted to see! Although Zhong Hao's policy essay is not gorgeous enough, and the words and sentences are not novel enough, it can see its essence in the plain.

Zhao Zhen also agrees with Ouyang Xiu's theory of "carrying the Tao with literature". The article is used to tell things, and he doesn't think it's a good article because he writes too much flowery rhetoric, but the whole content is empty. An essay that can explain a reasonable strategy is a good policy essay.

Zhao Zhen is still very satisfied with Zhong Hao's strategy, and his views actually coincide with his own. Although Zhao Zhen is often told by civil officials to govern the country benevolently, he does it.

But in his heart, he did not fully agree with the Confucian theory of governing the country by these civil officials. In all dynasties, if you want to enjoy peace, you can't do without the guarantee of force. How can anyone rely on benevolent government alone to subdue the four empires?!

Zhao Zhen actually has a deep concern about the decadence of the Great Song Dynasty martial arts now, so this time, whether it is the provincial test or the palace test, it is implied that the officials who asked the question ask about the border matter. It also made these candidates understand that the official family and the imperial court are also very concerned about military affairs. So as to arouse the candidates' attention and attention to martial arts, do not blindly indulge in wind and snow, poetry and articles!

Zhong Hao saw that after the official family looked at his test papers, he first shook his head, and then nodded again and again, it is estimated that he must be dissatisfied with his poetry, but he still agrees with his own strategy.

I just don't know what the official's overall evaluation of his test papers is?! This shook his head first and then nodded, which really made Zhong Hao a little difficult to judge.

The same difficulties as Zhong Hao were Liu Jing and several other deputy examiners, and the officials shook their heads and nodded, how could they judge the papers!

Fortunately, Zhao Zhen did not embarrass those deputy examiners, after he finished reading Zhong Hao's test paper, he groaned slightly, and let Wang gradually hold the test paper and write comments on it with a red pen.

This made Liu Jing, who was stretching his neck and looking at the official family, breathe a sigh of relief.

After reading Zhong Hao's test paper, the official family did not return it to him, but casually asked Wang gradually to put this test paper into the big exam box that collected the papers.

Zhong Hao's volume can be regarded as handing in.

After reading Zhong Hao's test papers, there was still a period of time before the end of the exam, and the official Zhao Zhen asked Wang Yan to take the papers of Xu Wudang, the provincial yuan, and Wang Jingxuan, the first name of the other test, to take a look.

Xu Wudang and Wang Jingxuan had already finished making the rolls at this time, and when they saw Wang gradually coming to collect their papers, they were busy folding them and giving them to Wang Jian.

Both of them are very excited, no matter whether the official's comments are good or bad, it is a great honor for the official to read the paper in person.

However, when the official family looked at their papers, they did not say anything, neither shook their heads nor nodded, and did not comment at the end.

In the eyes of Liu Jing and the deputy examiners, this probably requires them to judge the papers according to the ideas of these deputy examiners. If the official family wants these two candidates they take special care of, they will definitely say something. But the officials don't say anything now, obviously letting them judge the papers normally.

In Liu Jing's view, this official should be the first candidate to know him to read the papers, and he should pay special attention to it. And the latter two, that is, the first names of the provincial yuan and the other head test, are obviously purely out of curiosity and other ideas.

Fortunately, the first candidate's test paper, the official wrote comments with a red pen on it, and it is not difficult to find. Just rank him according to the official's comments on it.

As for the papers of this provincial yuan and other top exams, the official family did not make comments, and once they were put into the big examination box, they couldn't find it, even if Liu Jing wanted to take care of it, it would be difficult.

In fact, he was very glad in his heart, but fortunately the official family did not express it. If the officials nod their heads frequently to the papers, but do not comment and put their papers into the examination box, this is the problem for them, the deputy masters who are responsible for grading!

………………

As soon as the unitary time arrived, there was a rattle in the examination room, and I only heard the examiner's order: "When the exam is over, stop writing!" ”

Immediately afterwards, an invigilator came down and took the exam papers and drafts together.

At this time, there were still candidates who failed to complete the transcription, but they did not dare to lose a big one because of a small loss, so they had to obediently hand in the paper, and then beat their chests and feet.

The rewinder took all the rolls, put them in that large box, and then sealed them and sent them to the sealing office in the apse of the Chongzheng Palace.

The tribute students, led by the officials of Honglu Temple, stood up and lined up to salute the officials. After the official family left, under the leadership of the officials, they came out of the Donghua Gate again.

Ten days later, there will be a roll call, and in between, the candidates are both relaxed and nervous, inevitably painful and happy.

………………

After the palace examination papers of the Gongshi were sent to the Mi Feng Office, they were first folded in half by the arrangers, and at the same time pasted the names and places of origin, and then took the side of a few characters in the "Book of Words" to synthesize a word that no one knew, as the code name of each examination paper.

After the test papers are arranged in order, they are handed over to the official for transcription and proofreading, and after the inspector checks that the test papers are correct, the test papers of the Jinshi Department are sent to the Jinshi Examination School; The examination papers of each subject shall be sent to the examination institute of each subject.

The grading of the examination papers in the schools is relatively simple, after all, there are only a few people who participate in the palace examination in each subject.

The most important thing in this is naturally the marking work of the Jinshi Examination School.

In the following days, the eight preliminary examiners of the Jinshi Examination School will preliminarily examine 32 Jinshi papers.

Then they are divided into five classes according to the merits of the examination papers.

Among them, the first class is the one with excellent knowledge, pure rhetoric, outstanding and specific, and incomparable. The second class is the one who is able to learn the general, the arts and sciences are thorough, and they can be regarded as the higher ones in the group. The third class is those who can be adopted in the art industry and are well-versed in arts and sciences.

The scholar must be of the third class or above. That is, if you want to rank in the second class, you must get the third class or above.

The fourth class is slightly inferior in the art industry, and those who are rough in arts and sciences. This fourth class can only be given to the same Jinshi background, that is, it can only be ranked in the top three.

The fifth class is those who are shallow in literature and science, and there is no doubt about retreat. But now, except for those who abandon the examination or make mistakes and evildoers, the temple examination does not dethrone a person, so this is useless.

Of course, strictly speaking, it is not a vain, because these three are also ranked, and those who are ranked in the fifth class must be ranked after the fourth class. Well, it's just that the ranking of the top three is not too important, so it doesn't have much impact.

After the examination school has reviewed the test paper for the first time, it will seal the grade of judgment and send it to the re-examination office, and the re-examiner will mark the paper again!

Two days later, the re-examination institute submitted the grades set by the detailed examination to the detailed examination office, and the three detailed judges, that is, the three deputy chief examiners of the palace examination, Liu Chang, the waiter of the ceremonial department, Huang Zhen, a direct bachelor of Jixian Academy, and Mei Yaochen, a bachelor of Hanlin, unveiled the grades set by the preliminary examiners and compared them with the grades set by the re-examiners!

If the judgment of the examination school and the re-examination center are the same, they will be heard in turn. If there is a discrepancy between the two, the examination paper will be re-examined, either according to the initial examiner or according to the re-examiner's decision.

However, if the three detailed judges believe that the judgment of the preliminary examination and the re-examination are not appropriate, they can also be different from the other ranking.
