After staying in the Tribute Courtyard for three days, Yang Yansi left the Tribute Courtyard and bumped into Princess Qingyu, who had been waiting for him outside the Tribute Courtyard.

Princess Qingyu is also a believer, saying that she will wait for three days.

It can be seen that she has a deep affection for Yang Yansi.

Yang Yansi's performance was a little incomprehensible, and he didn't care about any etiquette, so he plunged into Princess Qingyu's comfortable frame, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.

During the three days of the Gongyuan scientific expedition, Yang Yansi never slept well, and every night, the snoring sound around him always surrounded his ears, and he couldn't sleep all the time.

Yang Yansi got into the frame and fell asleep, which frightened the female officer who was waiting for Princess Qingyu.

The female official wanted to wake up Yang Yansi, but was stopped by Princess Qingyu.

"Princess, let a man lie on your frame, and if it gets out, your name will be finished."

Princess Qingyu smiled and took a soft blanket to cover Yang Yansi.

"Your princess and I, I will identify him in this life. If there is any rumor, I will marry him directly. ”

The female official had a bitter face, "Princess, you can't decide your own marriage. ”

Princess Qingyu was a little irritated when she heard the female official's words, "I can't control so much, if my father forces me to marry someone else, I will become a ......nun."

"Don't talk about this, you go get some warm water, I'll help Qilang wipe his face, I stayed in the Gongyuan for three days, and my handsome face looks like a flower-faced cat."

The female official brought warm water, Princess Qingyu rolled up her sleeves, and carefully wiped every inch of Yang Yansi's face with a handkerchief.

The female official looked at Princess Qingyu's gentle eyes, and knew that she was already in love.

When Yang Yansi was sleeping in the dark in the frame of Princess Qingyu, the officials in the Gongyuan who were reading the papers behind closed doors were noisy.

The reason is also simple, there are too many talents in this department, and the number of admission places approved by the imperial court is limited, so everyone is highly recommending the test papers that they are optimistic about.

The chief examiner, Xue Juzheng, is an old man, and he can see at a glance what the purpose of the quarrel behind these people's backs is......

These petty officials seem to be selecting talents for the imperial court, but they are actually fighting for their own interests.

Xue Juzheng is sure that among the papers recommended by these petty officials, there must be relatives, protégés, old children, or simply some people who directly take money to do things.

Xue Juzheng has presided over the scientific examination for seven or eight sessions, and these small means are all left over from him.

Therefore, he didn't bother to care about the quarrels of these petty officials, and he didn't bother to ask.

In the early Song Dynasty, there was no transcription of this link.

So it's easy to get bored.

For example, agree on a word or sentence in advance, and then write it out on the paper.

Then, the grader who took your money will help you fight for an admission spot.

Another example is Yang Yansi's thin gold font, which is unique and no one can imitate it.

Wang Qin could easily find Yang Yansi's volume from thousands of volumes.

Such a big loophole, everyone understands it, but no one says it.

Whoever speaks out is tantamount to ruining the financial route of a large number of people.

So, in the early Song Dynasty, it was really easy to cheat on exams.

Of course, the marking officers did not dare to blatantly make all the students in the examination into related households.

After all, after the provincial examination, there is also the palace examination, once the students they admit show that they are unlearned and unlearned in the Golden Palace.

These graders will follow suit.

Therefore, the graders will divide a certain number of places for them, leaving a certain number of places for those who have real skills.

And the people who stayed behind are all relatively high-ranked.

In other words, there will be nearly a few thousand people to grab the remaining seats for these marking officers, and the competition is not fierce.

The marking officers were arguing, and Zhang Qixian, the deputy examiner sent by the Ministry of Rites, was persuading and balancing the interests of all parties.

Gradually, under Zhang Qixian's persuasion, the quarrel became quieter.

In the end, there were only two people left arguing, one was Wang Qin, the chief examiner of this provincial examination, and the other was Zhao Ren'an, an official of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhao Ren'an is not very old, but his temper is not small, pointing at Wang Qin's nose and scolding.

"The National Talent Ceremony, but you used this to vent your personal anger and harbor the candidates' papers. Despicable, shameless, villainous. ”

In terms of grade, Zhao Ren'an was four levels lower than Wang Qin, but he was not afraid at all, and the ears of the rest of the graders who were scolding loudly were buzzing.

Wang Qin was insulted by a subordinate official, so he naturally couldn't bear it.

"Zhao Ren'an, this official dismissed Yang Yansi's test paper, it was because he was not knowledgeable enough and was unqualified, as this deputy exam, this official has this power."

Zhao Ren'an snorted coldly, "You exercise your power, and the lower officials will not interfere." But the lower officials also have the right to review the test papers, why are you blocking them? Isn't it a thief's heart? ”

"Yang Yansi's test papers belong to the official for review, and the official has the right not to show it to you. This official knows that you are Shen Lun's protégé and wants to stand up for his junior brother. But you also have to weigh your own abilities. This official is a deputy examiner, you are just a marking officer! ”

Zhao Ren'an scolded, "shameless ......"

Zhao Ren'an had the intention to help Yang Yansi, but he was suppressed by Wang Qin with his authority, and he had no other way than to scold people.

More than a dozen graders selected more than 300 papers and arrived in front of Xue Juzheng.

"Xue Xianggong, Xia Guan and others have selected a total of three hundred and sixteen volumes, all of which are here, please take a look."

Xue Juzheng opened his eyes, starting from the fiftieth volume, and went forward.

The latter ones are all related households, and he is too lazy to look at them.

Carefully looking at the first fifty volumes, the expression on Xue Juzheng's face was wonderful.

After examining only six volumes, he found two good articles.

After checking all fifty copies, Xue Juzheng laughed, "In today's scientific examination, there are a lot of talents!" For the country, the old man can have such a harvest, and he is very relieved. ”

Xue Juzheng moved the few volumes that he thought were better articles and ranked lower.

After moving the scroll, Xue Juzheng squinted slightly, "You seem to be arguing over Yang Yansi's scroll just now." This made the old man a little interested, and the old man wanted to know what kind of article this famous young prodigy in Bianjing could make. ”

"Back to Xianggong Xue, Yang Yansi's article is mediocre, there is no merit at all, the lower officials have already dismissed this volume, don't read it anymore, so as not to stain your eyes." Wang Qin flattered.

Xue Juzheng smiled: "It's not in the way, the old man just looks at it casually......"

Wang Qin didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Xue Juzheng's gourd, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "Xue Xianggong, Master Pan, ...... Pan"

Wang Qin wanted to say: Taishi Pan greeted you......

was rudely interrupted by Xue Juzheng, "The old man is the main exam!" Do you want to use Pan Renmei to suppress the old man? ”

Xue Juzheng opened his eyes at some point, and two terrifying lights shot out of his eyes.

Wang Qin didn't dare to look directly at Xue Juzheng, so he could only obediently take out a roll from his sleeve and hand it to Xue Juzheng.

Xue Juzheng picked up the volume, tore open the paste, and confirmed that it was Yang Yansi's volume, but without even reading the contents, he directly stuffed it into the volume in front of him that had been admitted.

A series of rough operations stunned everyone present.

Xue Juzheng glared, "What do you see, do you have any opinions?" ”

The officials hurriedly lowered their heads and said continuously: "The officials dare not ......"
