Chapter Forty-Nine: The Top Three Are Settled
Whether it is the Guozijian or the examiners from all walks of life, they must devote themselves to the intense marking work, which can determine the future of a student, and naturally it cannot be sloppy, although there are favoritism and fraud in all dynasties, but the imperial court still has many ways to prevent fraud.

After all, the exam questions at this time are all subjective questions, unlike most of the questions in later generations have become multiple-choice questions, which are scored by the computer, and the human factor is eliminated.
The first step is to select by ordinary examiners, find out the better ones, and eliminate those papers that can't be seen at a glance, so that once they are selected, it will take at least a few hours, and then the main and deputy examiners will find out the examination papers that need to be admitted from the selected test papers.
Sometimes, in order to prevent the examiner from going through the back door and recognizing the handwriting, it is necessary to have people re-transcribe the test paper and then review it, which is a little more troublesome. At the same time, when marking the examination papers, the identity cards of the students in the dark compartment cannot be opened. This also ensures the fairness of the imperial examination to a certain extent.
The examiners were busy reading and recommending the exam papers, and the chief examiner Wang Yisun occasionally picked a few exam papers to read, but he wanted to know if there were any amazing talents in this group of students.
A deputy examiner was suddenly surprised: "This poem doesn't look like it was written by an ordinary inmate, Lord Wang, look at this ......."
Wang Yisun, who was idle, came over and asked the examiner, "Oh, is it true that this exam is really amazing?" ā
"Lord Wang......" said the examiner in a trembling voice, "This, this poem is really written with great momentum and sonorous power, and it is ......"
Wang Yisun became interested, and hurriedly moved his gaze to the exam paper in the hands of the deputy examiner, and asked at the same time, "And what?" ā
The deputy examiner replied, "And...... And Xia Guan thinks that this poem is not inferior to Dongpo monks and other predecessors, you can take a look at ......"
This made Wang Yisun extremely curious, to be honest, he just looked at a few exam papers, there were no particularly good papers, and those words were even more vulgar, completely clumsy, which made him a little less interested.
Wang Yisun nodded, took the test paper in the hands of the deputy examiner and read it, and the more he read it, the more he became fascinated, not only the words were written too well, but even the article on the unity of knowledge and action was also good! Of course, the most brilliant thing is the lyrics.
However, Wang Yisun also saw that the content of this test paper was written in a wonderful calligraphy, although he could not tell who the author was, but the handwriting of the signature made him see that it was his new disciple Li Xiang, because Li Xiang was not printed when he signed.
In this way, he is a little embarrassed, if the rest of the candidates are not outstanding, then the first place should be Li Xiang, but if Li Xiang is given the first place, I am afraid it will attract a lot of criticism. Because Li Xiang is a disciple of his Wang Yisun, this teacher gave the disciple the first place, so that it is impossible not to remind people of anything. But Li Xiang answered really well, and Wang Yisun was very entangled.
Suddenly, an examiner said loudly: "Lord Wang, the lower official has found a good paper again, come and take a look!" ā
At this time, Wang Yisun finally came to the interest, and hurriedly came to the examiner, who handed the test paper to Wang Yisun with both hands, and then Wang Yisun put down Li Xiang's test paper and took the test paper handed by the examiner.
Wang Yisun saw the words in this test paper at a glance, and couldn't help but chant while looking at him: "I have slept in the shade of flowers, and I am sad and drunk for a thousand minutes." Dream souls must not be like swimming bees. There is no secret agreement between vases and flowers, and they are self-powerful everywhere. The West Lake in the sky is like a brocade, and the proud horses in the world are like dragons. This year is not the same as last year. Drifting is not hateful in the end, and it is difficult to meet the old people. ā
After reading it again, Wang Yisun repeated: "A good drifter does not hate in the end, and it is difficult to meet the old man." Good words, good words! Although this poem is not as majestic as the previous one, it has its own deep meaning, yes, comparable to the previous one, and even better is that this student, the Moyi article written is even more thought-provoking, and it should be the first name! ā
As soon as Wang Yisun's words fell, another examiner shouted in surprise: "Lord Wang, the lower officials also found a good paper, come and take a look!" ā
All the examiners were pleasantly surprised, if there is a champion or something in this batch of candidates next year, then they will also be stained!
Wang Yisun took the test paper and looked at it, and felt that this song was better than the one just now, of course, compared to the song that was rolling east of the Yangtze River, there was actually a big gap, but in order to avoid suspicion, Wang Yisun had decided to let Li Xiang temporarily rank third.
An examiner smiled and said, "Lord Wang, read it quickly, and let everyone enjoy this poem, I can't wait." ā
Wang Yisun smiled and said: "Everyone, listen well, the prime minister is playing in the court, and the celebration is as new as new every year." Respect the front and smile with the children and grandchildren. The world spreads longevity wine, and the sky sends unicorns. The ethereal and auspicious smoke is even in the north, and the sky is happy and spring. Penglai is clear and shallow, and the sea is flat. At the beginning of this year, Jiazi tried Bi Tao root again. ā
After listening to it, the examiners thought silently for a moment before they let out a voice of admiration, indeed this poem is also of a very high level, even if it is themselves, I am afraid they will not be able to make such a good word.
Soon, almost all the examiners picked out the papers of the middle school students, and Wang Yisun took a general look at them, and there were basically no big problems with these selected test papers. Fortunately, the acceptance rate of the Guozi invigilation examination has reached almost half, so relatively speaking, it is not so difficult.
The deputy examiner hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, how should you take the top three?" ā
Wang Yisun thought for a while and said: "In this test paper just now, if you write the prime minister's clothes and play in the court, you should take the first name, not only does the words do well, but the article is even more wonderful!" The second place will be taken down to write down the prison student who has slept in the shade, and the third place will be taken to write down the student who has passed away in the east of the Yangtze River. ā
The deputy examiner wondered: "Lord Wang, why don't you take the student who wrote down the rolling Yangtze River?" That student, not the words are done brilliantly, and his calligraphy is even more in everyone's style, on the other hand, the other two test papers, although the words and articles are also good, the lower official thinks that it is not as good as the previous student. ā
In fact, not only the deputy examiner wondered, but all the examiners were surprised, how could Lord Wang Yisun, who has always been fair and selfless, let the best exam paper only take the third place?
Wang Yisun smiled: "You can take out the identity card and understand!" ā
At this time, several examiners took out the identity cards of the exam papers, and sure enough, it turned out that it was the student who submitted the papers in advance who wrote the rolling Yangtze River, that is, Li Xiang!
The deputy examiner suddenly realized: "I see, isn't this the inmate who handed in the paper on the afternoon of the first day of the exam?" ā
Wang Yisun's eyes lit up, and then he couldn't help nodding and said to the examiners next to him: "Take a look!" But this volume is his, in order to avoid suspicion, so this title can't be given to him! ā
