"Anyway, the results of this palace exam should have all come out, why don't you take a look at the list of the final rankings, maybe the candidate who impressed you last to hand in the paper is at the end of the list?" Lin Yi is unrelenting, and he must continue this topic with Xiao Mu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"I've forgotten the candidate's name." Xiao Mu felt that Lin Yi just wanted to see his own jokes, so he just forgot about it - anyway, Lin Yi was not present during the palace exam, and he didn't know what the candidate's name was.

It's just that Xiao Mu remembered this a little late, otherwise, he could have come to Zongdao to ask for the ranking list of the palace examination, and then casually pointed to the name of a person at the end of the list and said, This is the candidate who handed in the paper last.

However, even if Xiao Mu is really so "clever", I'm afraid Lin Yi won't believe his words, after all, in terms of probability, the probability of taking a random candidate out, and the possibility that he will be at the front or the back is quite low, and Lin Ye naturally thinks that the candidate who handed in the paper last will not have anything special except for the time to hand in the paper.

However, since Xiao Mu has tried to end this topic with the method of "I can't remember", it is obvious that he has almost admitted defeat, but he wants to save face and does not admit defeat so thoroughly, Lin Yi no longer intends to delve into it, after all, he is just an ordinary candidate, although being admitted to the Jinshi is definitely not an ordinary thing in Daming, but for people with the status level of Xiao Mu and Lin Ye, one of the more than 300 Jinshi can be produced at the same time, which is just very ordinary.

Since he had reminded Xiao Mu many times before that he didn't have the aura of the protagonist, Lin Yi also knew that saying the same thing too many times would cause people to rebel, especially for someone like Xiao Mu who was immature and even comparable to an underage middle school boy. So Lin Yi decided not to take the trouble to play this unpopular "disobedient" role, at least today.

"Okay, let's not talk about the last one." Lin Yi let Xiao Mu go as he spoke, and then turned to another topic, "Among the people who participated in the palace examination this time, isn't there also a Shi Kefa who has left a name in history?" Do you know what his grades are? ”

"Oh, by the way, and Shi Kefa, who had a lot of misunderstandings with Hu Yun." After Lin Yi's reminder, Xiao Mu also remembered this character - the reason why he only remembered this historical celebrity now is obviously because although Xiao Mu knew that he was a historical celebrity, he never remembered what deeds he became famous for, so in fact, Xiao Mu did not pay special attention to this person, unlike Song Yingxing, Xiao Mu could know 100% that he was a great scientist.

"His name is not in the top 20 exam papers, so it seems that he is not ranked in the top 20." Xiao Mu added.

"That's also very normal, there are more than 300 new science and technology scholars, and it is the most common situation to be outside the twenty." Lin Yi nodded and replied, "So, you don't know how many places he ranked?" ”

"I've only just gotten the top 20 exam papers here, and I haven't gotten the rankings of the remaining candidates yet." Xiao Mu shook his head and replied, and then added a big truth, "Besides, if I had the rankings of all the candidates again, you should have grabbed it in your hands by now......"

"In that case, then I won't keep you, you hurry up and hand over the adjusted ranking of the top twenty to Lai Zongdao, didn't you just say that you want them to rank all the candidates other than the top twenty who are affected by their appearance according to their real level?" Lin Yi changed his attitude just now, but instead encouraged Xiao Mu, who was originally going to leave, but was called back by himself, and Xiao Mu, who had just sat down again, left.

In the end, Lin Yi added lightly, "By the way, take a look at the list of all the adjusted Jinshi rankings from them." It was clear that this seemingly understated last sentence added by Lin Yi was what she really wanted to express.

However, Xiao Mu didn't have any reason to refuse, after all, this was Lin Ge's dormitory, which could be regarded as her territory, and he also didn't have anything to study with her here, so he left Lin Ge's dormitory according to the original plan, and went to the sect to adjust the candidates for the champion and the ranking of the new science and technology jinshi - although what he did was what he originally planned to do, but now it seems to be a lot more passive, quite a bit of Lin Ge asked him to stop, Lin Ge let him go, It's just that Xiao Mu doesn't seem to realize this.

Under Xiao Mu's order, Lai Zongdao and other examiners first complimented the emperor's meritocracy and not judging people by their appearance, just like Lin Yi said, "The emperor is wise" and the like were heard endlessly for a while, until Xiao Mu said that they could stop, their words of praise were taken back.

In fact, there are not many new scholars who have affected their grades because of their appearance, after all, those who are not good-looking are often eliminated in the previous township examinations and general examinations. Although Lai Zongdao and others admired Xiao Mu's practice of not judging people by their appearance at this time, this practice was only limited to Xiao Mu, the emperor, who had the courage to exercise it, after all, if the current emperor had very high requirements for the appearance of Jinshi, it turned out that the one who won the final examination was not good-looking, so Long Yan was angry, it would not be good. Therefore, before Xiao Mu, the highest-level examiner, intervened, no examiner dared to take the risk of admitting those candidates who were not good-looking, unless a candidate really had extremely good results, he might be admitted exceptionally, and his grades would be greatly reduced, just like Liu Ruozai who Xiao Mu decided to draw lots this time.

All in all, before knowing the emperor's preferences, it is the best choice for the examiners to choose the safest way, and acting according to the common convention of "being an official needs official authority, and official authority needs a good face" is undoubtedly the safest way to act.

So in fact, Xiao Mu's actions did not save many scholars who did not achieve ideal results because of their poor appearance, and what he "saved" was actually already successfully passed the palace examination and could obtain the reputation of Jinshi, but they were not ranked well in the first, second, and third grades. Compared with those scholars who have been eliminated in the township examination and the general examination, and have no chance to gain fame, what Xiao Mu "saved" this time cannot be compared with either in terms of quantity or the urgency of needing to be saved.
