Chapter Eighty-Six: Choosing the Best Papers
On the day after the temple examination, the top ten will be roughly selected and presented to His Majesty, which is a very heavy workload. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info so in fact most of the volumes will not be carefully read, the Pavilion elders set the tone a little, and then glanced at the beginning, and followed the Pavilion Elders to draw circles and forks, which is a very normal thing.
If this is not the case, it is impossible to recruit the top ten new science and technology scholars to enter the palace at sunrise tomorrow.
So how do you choose these ten papers? This starts with the seat of the temple exam.
The palace examination will be ranked in order, and the top ten papers will be placed on the top. Because after all, the examination lasted nine days, and the things tested were very comprehensive, which could better explain the real level of the students than a policy essay in the palace examination.
Therefore, the top 10 papers that will be examined, that is, the top 10 papers, will be reviewed in a focused manner, and the rest will not be read too carefully.
This is also the reason why the top ten in the previous year's examination will become the top ten in the palace examination, but the ranking is slightly different.
If the remaining 290 copies are not particularly outstanding, there will be no more than 20 copies of the last 10 copies next to the Rite Department Waiter.
In addition, the top ten of the exam, all of you will go to understand a little, and when you get to the palace exam, the paper is not copied, although the name is pasted, but more careful people can guess who was selected.
If there is no obvious difference between the two articles, you adults will inevitably think about the results of the examination, and the one with the highest ranking will be the best paper.
In fact, Lin Ang was supposed to be here as a grader, but Lin Fu referred to it, as an uncle, he must have been able to recognize his nephew's papers, so he didn't go for the reason of avoiding suspicion.
That's on the surface, but in fact, adults who are a little bit of a little bit can know that they have probably selected those, but it may not be so precise that they can locate who made that article.
Not long after the approval was opened, he got up and put the paper over, which was inevitably a little conspicuous, so after Yue Song deducted Lin Fu's answer sheet at that time, he did not leave immediately, but kept pressing it underneath, and when he was halfway through the examination and approval, there were more papers with poor answers, and then he secretly put this shocking volume at the bottom.
Such a review is indeed very fast, except for the first one to look a little carefully, and the latter is to just look at the beginning, and draw a circle or a cross by feeling, no wonder it can be delivered to His Majesty before midnight in two or three hours.
At this moment, half of the papers have been approved, and there are already sixteen good papers to choose from. The more you go on, the fewer rolls that can attract the attention of the elders, and if you look at this posture, there will still be no more than twenty students who can be favored by the elders.
Xia Yan is the oldest and the oldest in the reading tube, but he is not perfunctory, but he seems to be more serious than anyone else. It's just that when you make a fork, you are also ruthless...
In fact, all the candidates also understand that although His Majesty said that I will read it in person, most of the articles have no chance to enter the eyes of the Son of Heaven. But even if you can't reach that level, if you can attract the attention of a few elders, it will make no difference.
After all, although the promotion in this officialdom must be approved by His Majesty, the transfer of officials below the third grade is simply something that His Majesty is too lazy to worry about, and it is all handled by the cabinet and the people in the ministry.
Although the official secretary did not correct this time, as long as he left an impression on any of the twelve people present, this is an opportunity for promotion in the future!
So although everyone knew that there was no hope for this Eye of the Son of Heaven, they still tried their best to write according to the standards approved by the Son of Heaven.
Batch after batch, the speed of the roll is getting faster and faster. Suddenly, Xia Yan's movements slowed down, and he carefully studied the file in his hand for a long time, and then drew a circle on it quite seriously and passed it to Yue Song.
"This essay is quite popular with me, I wonder if you might see which student this is?"
In the past few years, His Majesty has paid great attention to the issue of the imperial examination, but he has always been unable to avoid fraud, so Yue Song is very conscious and caring, and every time after the release of the spring list, he always has to carefully check the names and answers of the students to help His Majesty screen talented people.
Xia Yan knew about this, so after seeing the volume he liked but was not the top dozen or so who knew the name, he asked Yue Song.
Although the name of the file is pasted, the marking officer is not afraid to talk about who answered the file. Even in previous years, when the final selection of the best papers was made, everyone made it clear who this was and whose share it was, and they were discussing it directly and clearly.
Because at this stage, it is no longer only the selection of talents, but also the selection of officials. In many cases, if a student's identity is recognized, there are many other aspects that need to be considered.
For example, Scholar Zhu did not shy away from picking out the volume of his protégé Yuan Wei, and Scholar Hu also did not hesitate to praise the volume of his protégé Jiangling.
And Yue Song even privately suppressed Lin Fu's volume, and did not intend to let others review it again, and finally directly handed it over to His Majesty for personal decision as the eleventh volume.
Xia Yan didn't participate in the Spring Festival, so he asked Yue Song at this moment. Yue Song took the scroll and looked at it carefully, he was not an immortal, it was impossible to completely remember the characteristics of these three hundred students, and he would only pick outstanding ones.
Fortunately, this person's writing style and personal philosophy are more distinctive, and after thinking about it for a while, Yue Song remembered the identity information of this student, and replied, "This should be Liu Wenchang from Xuzhou." His writing behavior is very imposing, and most of his ideas are very upright. ”
As a palace examiner, it stands to reason that you must not boast about the answer sheet, otherwise it is easy to get disaster out of your mouth. Like the two university scholars, it's okay to be their own students, at least they know the roots, and it's a bit hypocritical not to speak.
However, it is not appropriate to make any comments on unidentified answers. But Xia Shoufu is a righteous person, naturally he is not afraid of others slandering him in his heart, and no one will believe that this old man will do anything privately.
I saw Xia Yan smiling and stroking his beard, his tone was full of joy, "Such students should be the pillars of the country!" “
Yue Song couldn't help but be a little curious when he heard that this stinky adult was so appreciative of this student's answer. Take it and look at it.
The views and attitudes on the rule of officials in this policy theory distinguish black and white so clearly, and express the meaning of acting according to the law in many places, which is very consistent with Xia Shoufu's concept, and he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said in his heart, "I'm afraid Your Majesty won't like such a student too much." ”
