Chapter Twenty-Four: Rejoice in the Papers
On August 14, three days before the release of the White Deer Academy, Lin'an City was still lively, but the Tai Academy was different from the usual quiet, and all the tribute students of the Tai Academy were invited to live in another place, and they could not return within three days, let alone make any comments on this matter.
More than 100 Yulin guards surrounded the entire Tai Academy, and the surrounding streets were also blocked, making it impossible to enter.
If there is something important and needs to enter, then you must prepare an official document specially approved by the imperial court, and have the seal of Yu Linwei, otherwise it will be regarded as a crime and will be taken away directly by Yu Linwei.
There is a special person in charge of each day's consumption in Tai Academy, and it is not allowed to go out without permission or bring others.
The neatly stacked papers were stacked on top of each other, with a total of 50 long cases, each of which was reviewed by two Confucian scholars alternately, so as to prevent the papers from falling out of grade because they did not meet the examiner's preferences for a while, and thus losing the opportunity to be admitted by the academy.
The three examiners sat on the high platform, and someone next to them presented a carefully written list.
"Brother Ying, the list of martial arts tests has been counted." One person put this list on the long case, on which the list of examinations for each subject was neatly written, of which 10 people in each subject were in the first class, 490 people in the second class, and the number of people below the second class was not counted. "This time, the situation is still dominated by the children of the family, but the martial arts test is cavalry and archery, military theory, etc., compared with the family, the poor family is still not very deep."
Zuo Yingyun took the list and took a closer look, and nodded with a little regret, "Brother Sanming, that's true." The first scholar on this list is only Rong Jingfan, who is a military commentator, and this son is really not easy. ”
Song Enzhi (word Sanming) pointed to the name on the list, "The advantages of the children of the family are undoubtedly revealed in this martial arts test, you look at the famous "prominent" Beigong Boyu, I originally thought that this person could take the fourth B is already quite good, but this son can also take the first in this military theory, the youngest daughter of the Chen family, not only in the military theory, but even in the riding and archery also took the first one, the future is terrifying, as a woman. ”
"No one should be a disgrace." Lu Zhiguang shook his head, "You see that handsome son of the Dongfang Jin family is only worthy of Siyi, and he almost failed." ”
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and after carefully checking the list, Song Enzhi suddenly remembered the person who Zuo Yingzhi mysteriously pulled them together that day and praised them greatly, "On this list, there is no person named Yunjiang, not even the second class." ”
"And this Lin'an City was boiling before because of his gambling contract with the third son of the Dongfang family. It's an interesting young man, who doesn't care about the humiliation of going around the city naked, but also wants to ask for an explanation for the three thousand cloth clothes, and I Song Enzhi admires his courage. ”
Lu Zhiguang also looked at it, waiting for Zuo Yingyun's reply, and was a little concerned, after all, Zuo Yingyun blew with them in the examination room that day, if it weren't for their rich experience, I am afraid that Jiang Yunnai would think that Jiang Yunnai was a god with three heads and six arms.
Zuo Yingwei glanced at them, leaned them over, and looked around.
"I passed by the master's room that day, and overheard that Jiang Yun was the hero of Jinling overnight, killing dozens of Japanese robbers by himself, and even defeating the first master of the Saga stream."
Lu Zhiguang and Song Enzhi both looked surprised, and Song Enzhi stroked his long beard, "There is such a thing, but I haven't heard of it before..."
Song Enzhi immediately thought of something, and hurriedly looked at Zuo Yingyun for answers, and Zuo Yingzhi nodded silently.
"And when I saw this person in the examination room that day, he was pale and had many inconveniences in moving, and in my experience, I am afraid that he was injured a lot that night, and he has not yet recovered."
"It's a pity.." Lu Zhiguang showed regret on his face, "This is my Dayan's talent, if he hadn't suffered this change, then with this son's strength, don't say that it is four doors to take the armor, I am afraid that it is not impossible to be the yuan." ”
Yuan, is the first in the examination, the academy does not easily grant this grade, only the candidate's talent is enough to overwhelm the crowd, but the heavenly people are admitted as "Yuan", it is already very difficult to get the first one, and can be admitted to the Yuan, in the history of the academy for more than 80 years, but more than a dozen people, these people without exception in the future became the pillars of Dayan, illustrious for a while, famous in history, admired by the world.
"But this person is sixteen years old and fights the enemy, strengthens my Dayan majesty, and becomes a hero!" Song Enzhi said, but with regret on his face, "But the rules of the academy cannot be changed, and it can only be like this." You and I both know the temper of the Master, and when it comes to this kind of problem, even the Holy One should not force him to do anything. ”
"Why are you all downcast?" Zuo Yingyun smiled mysteriously, "I didn't say that he couldn't pass the exam." ”
"Brother Zuo, don't be joking, since Yunjiang is not on this list, how can he..."
"Wait!" Song Enzhi's eyes tightened, "You mean?" ”
"It's hard!" Lu Zhiguang said, "Four first, eight second, four second, there is no other, the remaining fourth, first class is already difficult to ascend to the sky, the youngest daughter of the Chen family has won two first, which is enough to rank in the top five among the candidates in this year, which is more powerful than some guys in the inner courtyard when they enter." Snatching the top four, although there is a history of the academy, it was already decades ago, and you and I know that person. ”
A trace of gloom flashed on Lu Zhiguang's face, "It has long been turned into ashes, and the past is just smoke." ”
"Shihiro! Be careful! Song Enzhi glanced at Yu Linwei not far away.
"Alas!" Lu Zhiguang was stunned, and there seemed to be a knot in his chest that could not be resolved.
Zuo Yingyun patted Lu Zhiguang on the shoulder, and then looked at Song Enzhi, "This son shocked me, it is definitely not a thing in the pool,"
"On that day, 3,000 scholars made a scene for him, you and I saw it, don't say that all these years, that is, from Gaozu to today, no one in the academy can have 3,000 scholars to support him. This scene strengthened my thoughts.."
"Wait, we'll see his exam papers!"
While the three examiners on the high platform were talking, the hundred examiners on the fifty long cases below were also nervously reviewing each of the re-examination papers that had been taught to them. The examination paper in the examiner's hand is not the candidate's own examination paper, but is carefully transcribed and proofread by a special transcriber in block letters, and then forwarded to the examiner for further review, in order to prevent some fraud.
Genuine candidate papers are kept and can only be retrieved when the examiner needs to access one candidate's papers, and the consent of the other two examiners is required.
There are a total of 20,000 examination papers for the four subjects of 5,000 scholars, and these 100 examiners need to review all of them within three days, and divide these examination papers into grades.
A grade or above must be reported to the examiner, which is called "submission", and the examiner determines whether or not to award it.
The examiner on one of the long cases wiped a handful of sweat, carefully took an exam paper, and after a few glances, he stared straight ahead, and slapped the shoulder of an examiner next to him, and placed the exam paper in front of him.
The examiner wanted to complain, but when he saw the content of the exam paper, his eyes lit up, and he carefully read the exam paper from beginning to end.
"Today's Dayan, there is Rong in the north, barbarians in the south, Tubo in the west, and Japanese in the east, but it is actually a difficult autumn. Yu Zi Shule went south to Lin'an for more than six months, and what he saw and heard along the road made my generation sad. In the city of Shule, the beacon fire is in the sky, and the people live in temporary houses, or find a place in the city, set up tents, and the down-and-out take the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed, but no one feels any difference, what can they do? It's a matter of course..."
"Good!"
The examiner felt so happy that he couldn't help but shout, causing the rest of the people to look at him.
The examiner didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly submitted the exam papers, "I can't decide!" ”
Zuo Yingyun looked at it and showed a relieved smile.
"As I expected!"
