According to the rules of the court, the time for the examination is eight days, the first four days are the examiners of each room, and the last four days are by the chief examiner to convene all the examiners of each room to discuss all the test papers to be recorded, and the rankings are ranked, the first three hundred are on the main list, and the last hundred are on the sub-list, among which the main list is eligible to participate in the palace examination, and the candidates are no longer eliminated in the palace examination, but only by the emperor himself. No matter what the examiners of each room are doing, they have to gather in the main hall quickly, of course, for such a sudden summoning order, everyone has a lot of doubts in their hearts, especially when they see Ding Xufeng, the examiner of the Kwai character room, standing outside the hall with a gray face, it is inevitable that the examiners will whisper.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this king is in a hurry to invite you to come, there is a matter that you must judge with a fair heart, this king has two sixteen test papers each, and I ask you to judge them one by one, determine the merits, and start in the order of numbers."

Hongqing didn't let the examiners have to be suspicious, and after coughing twice, he briefly explained the reason.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials still adhere to the original opinion, this matter is not in line with the law, it is a violation, the lower officials do not dare to agree, and I also remind all colleagues, do not know the law and break the law, otherwise, Your Majesty will be guilty, it must not be easy to play."

As soon as Hongqing's voice fell, Heshen immediately couldn't wait to jump out and sing the opposite tune, and a big hat of "violation" was unceremoniously buckled to Hongqing, not only that, but also vigorously encouraged the examiners of each room to oppose Hongqing's approach.

"Lord He, pay attention to your words and deeds, this king is the main exam, something went wrong, there is a king to bear, why do you need to come and start grading, everyone must comment on each paper, and it will be listed next to the volume, give you an hour to wait, come to someone, burn incense and time!"

Seeing that Heshen was so presumptuous, Hongqing was angry, and glanced at him coldly, and unceremoniously scolded him with a head and face.

"Wow!"

The gods above were fighting, and the examiners below couldn't help but be a little at a loss, but the Yanxi Hall officials who were waiting on the side didn't dare to have the slightest slackness.

Seeing that the examiners were already acting according to the order, Hongqing's face immediately eased, but the heartstrings were not loosened much, there was no other, the reason why Hongqing was so tough was not completely because he couldn't get used to Ding Xufeng's favoritism, and it was not just for the sake of prestige, but more because he wanted to strike preemptively - since he entered the Tribute Academy, it has been twenty-three days, Hongqing is still blind to the external situation, and there is no side, just because he is the main exam, even if he is sleeping, There are also a lot of Yan Xitang officials standing on the side, in order to prevent the examiners from having contact with the outside world, not to mention exploring the news of the outside world, that is, they are not allowed to contact the candidates during the exam. And when? [Fairy tale] Snow Devil Queen

Hongqing's mind is extremely hidden, Heshen can't guess it, if he really knows the reason, I'm afraid that he will vomit three liters of blood, no side, although Heshen was under the secret order of the eighth master, saying that once the Gongyuan changes, then he must resolutely sing a rival with Hongqing, but as for what will happen, in fact, the eighth master has never talked about it at all, just casually mentioned it, Heshen himself actually didn't care much about the eighth master's secret order, if he really cared, He would not be so bold to collude with Ding Xufeng and others to play such a trick of entrainment of private goods, originally, the main and deputy examiners have always played such a hand, the difference is just a matter of more and less entrained private goods, this is the practice of the field, although it is illegal, but it is also a tacit thing, but I never thought that Hongqing would be so admittedly holding on to this matter, Heshen's heart was really straight up and down, and he had the intention to interfere again, but he was afraid that Hongqing would play tricks on the spot and ignore it, I was afraid that Ding Xufeng would confess himself after being taken down, and in a dilemma, it was really uncomfortable as sitting on pins and needles.

"When the time comes, all the princes will hand in the papers, come and collect the papers for the king!"

An hour is not a short time, it took three pillars of long incense to burn before it reached the point, and with the extinguishing of the last incense pillar, Hongqing's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he gave an order in an unquestionable tone.

"Wow!"

Hongqing gave this order, and the officials of Yanxi Hall, who had been waiting on the side, did not dare to delay, and they all responded to the promise, and went forward one after another, put away all the test papers, divided them into two parts, and put them on the copywriting in front of Hongqing.

"Very good, the results have come out, there are ten of the sixteen volumes on the left hand side of this king that are comprehensively rated as first-class, and the rest are all B-class, and the worst is also above B, as for the sixteen volumes on the right hand of this king, there are only two comprehensive evaluations of B-class, and they are all B-class, and the rest are C-class, what does such a big gap mean? How about giving this king an explanation, eh? "Take a foodie to the fairy road

After getting the two test papers, Hongqing personally proofread and took notes, and after being busy, he finally sorted out the results, and then, unceremoniously, he challenged Heshen.

"This ......, hehe, the lower officials really don't know that Ding Xufeng's ability is so poor, and he really has the trust of His Majesty."

In the face of Hongqing's trouble, Heshen's old face couldn't help but turn red, he didn't mention it at all to personally inspect the matter, because he was not surprised by this result in his heart, but he still wanted to protect Ding Xufeng, after all, Ding Xufeng acted on his orders, if Ding Xufeng was taken down, I was afraid that he Heshen would not be able to escape, so he rolled his eyes and snorted, pushing this result to Ding Xufeng's incompetence.

"Incompetent? Hey, I'm afraid it's not as simple as incompetence, if this king remembers correctly, Ding Xufeng is the fifth Jinshi in the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, and the first-hand article is also good in the court, it is certainly possible to look at the scroll and take the eyes, and one or two articles are reasonable, but this one is sixteen articles, I'm afraid it's not so simple, Lord He, what do you say? ”

In order to prevent the Eighth Master's possible plot, Hongqing was determined to beat Ding Xufeng to death with a stick this time, how could he be moved by Heshen's sophistry, but seeing that he sneered, he had ruthlessly put on a posture of wanting to cure Ding Xufeng.

"This, this ......"

Heshen is also a person who can speak the Tao on weekdays, but at this moment, he was forced by Hongqing to be embarrassed, and he couldn't say a reason for a long time.

"Lord Wang, what do you think about this?"

Hongqing didn't pay any attention to Heshen, but turned his head to look at Wang Mingyi, who was sitting on his right, and asked in a calm voice.

"Everything is at the disposal of the prince, and the lower officials have no objections."

Although Wang Mingyi was afraid of Hongqing's iron-blooded wrist, he didn't want to offend the powerful eighth master, so he didn't want to be biased, so he just said vaguely.

"Okay, come on, bring Ding Xufeng to the hall!"

Seeing that Wang Mingyi put on a posture of protecting himself, Hongqing didn't force it, so he picked up the shocking wood that was resting in the corner of the copy, slapped it heavily, and broke his throat with a loud voice.

"Wow!"

As soon as they heard Hongqing's order, the officials of Yanxi Hall who were waiting on the side did not dare to delay a little, and they all responded loudly, and several of them ran down the hall and escorted Ding Xufeng, who was detained outside the hall, to the hall. Chase the glory

"Xia, Xiaguan have seen and seen the prince."

The main hall of the Gongyuan is not big, Ding Xufeng stood outside the hall for so long before, but he listened to everything in the hall, seeing that things were about to fail, his heart was already panicked, and as soon as he went to the hall at this time, he saw Hongqing's extremely cold face, and even if his legs and feet were weak, he involuntarily knelt on the ground.

"Ding Xufeng, this king asks you, among the twenty volumes you have taken, sixteen of them are all equal volumes, do you have anything to defend yourself about, huh?"

Hongqing didn't feel much pity for Ding Xufeng's pitiful state, and even excused himself from calling up, and asked directly.

"The lower officials are wronged, the lower officials are wronged, the lower officials have never been favoritism, even if they are poor, it is also caused by lack of ability, and they are selfless, Lord Wang, the lower officials are wronged......"

Hearing that Hongqing's voice was wrong, Ding Xufeng panicked and cried out one after another.

"Hmph, it's a good lack of ability, so you should leave such quibbles to say when you pass through the hall, come on, take Ding Xufeng off the top of the flower feather, put him in prison, and wait to listen to the ginseng!"

Hongqing was only ordered to take the main exam this time, and he could be dismissed as an examiner for fraud, but he had no right to try the case, and the difference was not small.

"Wow!"

Hearing Hongqing's order, the servants did not dare to be the slightest slack, and they all agreed to the promise, and then rushed up, took off Ding Xufeng's top flower, no matter how he struggled and shouted grievances, he got up and dragged him to the hall.

"This king reiterates again, you are all entrusted by Your Majesty, and you must remember the word 'fairness' as the important task of selecting talents for the country, otherwise, Ding Xufeng's fate is a lesson from the past, I hope you will do it yourself, and you will disperse."

After Ding Xufeng was taken down, Hongqing didn't have much to do, but when he saw that he was angry, he looked around at all the people with different faces with sharp eyes, and after telling everyone seriously, he waved his hand and called back.

"Resignation."

"Don't worry, the lower officials don't dare to disobey."

"The lower officials and others have all remembered it."

……

After witnessing Ding Xufeng's tragic end, all the examiners were already awe-inspiring in their hearts, since no one dared to contradict Hongqing at this time, they got up one after another, and after each expressed his position, they scattered in twos and threes......
