After a full hour, Xiao Mu's method was finally declared bankrupt. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because Lin Yi patiently read the articles of the tributes named Liu Ruozai and He Ruizheng carefully and carefully from beginning to end, and then explained the content of the two articles to Xiao Muyuan locally, and then Xiao Mucai finally found that he had no way to evaluate the two articles at all.

As for Lin Yi, it is obvious that she has no way to give an accurate statement, because with Xiao Mu's understanding of her, if Lin Yi herself can judge which article is well written, she will not be so patient and careful to explain the content of the two articles to herself again - this is actually a very normal thing, although Lin Yi is a Chinese study of ancient literature, but after all, he is a modern person, and it is obvious that he cannot be compared with the champion level of the Daming native in writing articles.

It's like a person who graduated from an English major and has very good grades, but it is naturally impossible for him to evaluate the works of two famous writers who are native English speakers and can even reach the Nobel Prize level.

So at this time, Xiao Mucai finally realized that the truth that Lin Yi said just now that "there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts" turned out to be so profound.

"There is no way to separate the articles of these two people, when I read Liu Ruozai's article, I felt that his article was the best, but after I read He Ruizheng's article, I felt that he should be named the champion." Xiao Mu said very helplessly, and then came to a very vivid analogy, "It makes me feel like a wall grass now." ”

may also feel the same way about Xiao Mu's words, this time Lin Yi rarely did not ridicule his statement, but also made a metaphor, "It's like watching a debate competition in our later modern society, as an ordinary audience, when the positive side speaks, I feel that the positive side is correct, and when the opposite side speaks, I feel that I am persuaded by the opponent." ”

"Yes, but in addition to the audience, there are judges in the debate competition, and in the end, there are judges to judge whether the positive side or the negative side wins, but this time these two articles can only be evaluated by the level of ordinary audiences like ourselves." Xiao Mu nodded in agreement with Lin Ye's statement, and in the end, he accidentally forcibly pulled Lin Ye and himself to the same level.

"In fact, Daming also has experts in this time and space who are like judges in debate competitions." Lin Yi said, "If you really can't decide, you can call these people from the sect, Qian Qianyi, and Zhou Yanru and let them evaluate them." ”

"In fact, the circular symbols on these two test papers are already equivalent to the evaluation of the expert judges of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the evaluation of the examiners, and it is obvious that the evaluation scores they get are the same, so even if the literati of the Ming Dynasty are called, they may not be able to evaluate the really excellent person, and in the end, I am afraid that they can only be evaluated by their personal preferences." However, this time, Lin Yi's suggestion did not get Xiao Mu's approval, Xiao Mu shook his head and continued, "Since it is decided by personal preference, it is better to use the personal preferences of me, the emperor who presided over the palace examination, instead of letting these courtiers act as their own substitutes." ”

"But the problem now is that you don't even have the ability to judge by personal preference." Lin Yi also pointed out this disappointing fact very seriously, "Otherwise, you would have been able to decide who should be the champion." ”

"Even so, we can't let them interfere in this matter." Xiao Mu's attitude towards this issue is indeed quite resolute, "This is not just a matter of evaluating the champion examination papers, if I delegate the power to evaluate the champion to them, it will show that I, the emperor, lack ability, which is nothing to me, but it is greatly detrimental to the reputation and prestige of Emperor Chongzhen." Obviously, Xiao Mu once again thought about the reputation of Emperor Chongzhen, and it has always been his consistent principle to prevent Emperor Chongzhen's reputation from being damaged.

"Didn't you generously delegate the power to deal with the affairs of the state to the Sect Dao and them, but at this time, you started to think about it again?" This is the first thing that Lin Yi thought of after hearing Xiao Mu's analysis, but she didn't say this sentence, because she also had to admit that Xiao Mu's statement just now did have some truth, as a time-traveler who crossed over to become the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Yi naturally didn't want the power of his fellow traveler to be hollowed out and become a puppet-like figure - and the point champion is undoubtedly a very symbolic thing, if even such a thing has to be done by courtiers, That Xiao Mu's prestige as an emperor will indeed suffer a great loss.

So to a certain extent, it is better to let Xiao Mu randomly order a person as the champion than to find the courtiers to ask for opinions, after all, no matter what, Xiao Mu is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even if the champion appointed by him is ordinary, it is also the emperor's golden mouth, no one will have an opinion, and then again, Liu Ruozai and He Ruizheng, the two tributes, are inherently comparable in terms of literary talent, and it is not the kind of absurd practice that is easy to attract controversy.

So Lin Yi also changed his mind, and also agreed with Xiao Mu's statement, "Yes, the judges of the Ming version, that is, the examiners who scored the papers, sent the best twenty test papers to you, and their mission has been completed, and they naturally don't need to continue to interfere in the rest of the matter." ”

Then Lin Yi continued to say in an encouraging tone, "In that case, then it is up to you, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to make the final decision, no matter who you name as the champion, it will be the Longen of the world for that person, and the other person will also be convinced." So, you have to decide boldly! ”

"But the crux of the problem is here, I don't know which person to point out as the champion, just like asking people who don't know anything to evaluate which of the two famous articles "The Story of Little Stone Pond" and "The Story of the Drunkard Pavilion" is better written, I don't have that skill and qualification at all." Xiao Mu replied, but although he said such things, Lin Yi found that Xiao Mu's gaze at this time was very firm, and he was not in that hesitant state.

"So, I'm going to do what the ancients did." Then Lin Yi heard Xiao Mu continue, "At this time, I have to let God make this final decision for me, who is the champion, everything depends on the will of heaven!" ”
