In fact, this kind of discussion, with the growth of marking time, gradually appeared, and more and more, several with the examiner to discuss a certain article, this is also a very normal thing, and there are only two situations of this kind of discussion, either a good article appears, or the article is okay, but it is not able to be selected.

However, this time the discussion lasted a little longer, and the voice of the examiner was a little louder.

"It's a little hard to see how such an article could appear in the township test. . . ."

"It's not surprising that in the huge Shaanxi, it is possible for such talents to appear. . . ."

"It's really not easy to have such a feeling without being an official in the court...

Wang Xiang finally put down the article in his hand, walked out of the house, and came to the wing.

At this moment, it is already the afternoon Shen time.

Several fellow examiners saw Wang Xiang, they stopped talking, and one of them handed over a test paper in his hand.

"My lord, Xia Guan thinks this article is good, several of us have read it, and I think it's not simple, it should be the best article we've seen so far."

Wang Xiang was suspicious that this kind of situation of giving him articles directly had never appeared, and the articles selected by the same examiner were all sent to him by the sergeant, and they would only be sent over after reading a batch of articles, and they were all selected by the four same examiners, so as to ensure that the level of the articles was the same.

Wang Xiang also heard the discussion of several fellow examiners just now, so it is possible that this article is really good.

The deputy chief examiner also came over and came to Wang Xiang's side.

Seeing that the deputy examiner was also coming, Wang Xiang simply walked to the desk of a fellow examiner, slowly spread out the test paper, and looked at the article carefully with the deputy examiner.

The face of the deputy examiner first showed a look of surprise, he was as tired as the examiner, he had read I don't know how many articles, and the articles he saw this time gave him a refreshing feeling, this was the first time that such a feeling had appeared.

"Eat the people's food and wear the people's clothes, the people can be deceived, and they are also the people; It is not honorable to get an official, it is not disgraceful to lose an official, don't say that an official is useless, the place depends on an official... ”

Wang Xiang couldn't help but read out his voice, shaking his head as he read it.

Looking at the deputy examiner next to him, who was also surprised, Wang Xiang spoke again.

"This is impossible, a candidate for the township examination actually has such an understanding, let alone a candidate for the township examination, even those officials who have been local officials for many years may not be able to have such a feeling."

"My lord, Xia Guan thinks that he can have this kind of understanding, is to really understand the meaning of the adult's question, Xia Guan read the first few good articles, although he has some understanding of the meaning of the adult, but it is still narrow, or it is a general talk, or it is too much of a needle on current affairs, but it is not fully understood, only this article, covering the meaning is clear."

Wang Xiang couldn't help but nodded.

"What I said is that the rhetoric is peaceful, without the slightest sense of extremeism, and it is important to point out the importance of being an official, and it is also required to be the master of the people for the officials, so that a good person eats the people's food and wears the people's clothes, and the people can be bullied, and they are also the people, which is enough to make those officials who are vegetarian in the corpse seat ashamed."

Wang Xiang was a little excited, and the words he spoke were also sharper, revealing the professional habits of the imperial history, and the rest of the people were not good at what to say, in fact, according to everyone's understanding, the overall idea and rhetoric of this article are peaceful, and the center of the whole article is to focus on the idea of self-cultivation Qi family governance and peace in the world, from self-cultivation Qi family governance to strengthen personal cultivation, understand the difficulty of the people, understand the difficulty of being an official, can be in just more than 1,000 words, clearly express such a line of thought, It's not easy.

It is rare for such sentences to appear in the vernacular in the Bagu text, but it is precisely because of the rarity that such clear and catchy sentences will attract special attention.

Wang Xiang looked at everyone, and also understood that he was a little excited, and finally saw a good article, this inner joy was unbearable, and just now Wang Duo thought of his own play to the emperor in the first year of Chongzhen, the words of the play were very sharp, and there was no turnaround, if you could see such an article at that time, it would be a little calmer in terms of words, and it would not cause so much sensation in the court.

"I just saw a good article, some can't help it, I said a digression, forgive me, I think this article is really good, from a high vantage point, and can tell the story, it makes people look very comfortable, the most important thing is that although there is no self-cultivation Qi family to govern the country and level the world, but it always reveals its meaning, this kind of induced but not provoked skills, but not ordinary people can do it."

Wang Xiang said this, and the deputy chief examiner can speak.

"My lord, Xia Guan also feels this way, Xia Guan thinks that such an article, even if it is put in the south, it is outstanding."

"That's true, I didn't expect that Shaanxi actually has such talents, so profound, don't underestimate eating the people's food, wearing the people's clothes, Mo Dao people can be bullied, they are also the people, they are not honorable to get an official, lose an official is not humiliated, don't say that an official is useless, the place depends on an official, the truth of its implications, the more you think about it, the more far-reaching it is."

"What the adults said is that these words and phrases that are almost vernacular will hardly appear in the township examination, and I don't know which candidate will actually express such words."

"I think this is worth advocating, these days, we don't know how many articles we have read, all of them quote the words of ancient and modern sages, these universal arguments, no one can refute them, but no one is comfortable looking at them, the ancients have long said that candidates still use it to say what to do, they don't have the slightest creativity."

When Wang Xiang said this, the old problem came out again.

"It's strange, the candidates for the township examination are all students, almost all of them are students who study hard at home, how can they have such an understanding, isn't it a child of a scholar's family, who has heard and witnessed it since he was a child."

The same examiner could only smile bitterly.

"My lord, Xia Guan thinks this article is very good, take it as a key point, and when the adults determine the ranking, they can use this article as punctuation."

"Okay, that's it."

Wang Xiang replied very simply.

In the township examination, the so-called article as punctuation, that is, after the end of the marking, take this article as a standard to see if there is anything that can exceed this article, and determine the final ranking of the township examination at one time, there is no doubt that the article that can be used as punctuation must be a very prominent article, at least there is no problem in being selected.

Before the time came, all the articles for the first examination were read, and the number of selected articles reached 150.

The analysis came to the same examiner without resting, and they began to read the articles of the second and third exams.

The essay in the second exam is judgment, and the essay in the third exam is policy.

The examination of this kind of article, mainly to see whether the candidate is familiar with the edict, judgment, table, edict and other official articles, after all, after passing the township examination, in principle, you can enter the court as an official, if you don't know anything about the official article, it is a big joke, this kind of article does not need to look carefully, just see if the format is appropriate, if there is a mistake outrageous, it will also be picked out, and finally after unpacking, see if the candidate's first exam article is selected, if it is selected, it is likely to be eliminated.

The strategy of the third exam is also about whether the official article is familiar, of course, it is different from the second exam, if there are candidates who can put forward unconventional views in the policy articles, which are refreshing, then such articles will also be selected, and finally after unpacking, see if the candidate's article in the first field is selected, if not, you can find out and see, if there is a vacancy in the quota, it is very likely to be selected.

However, the possibility of this is very small, whether it is the first time to take the township examination candidates, or many candidates who have participated in the township examination, are familiar with this aspect of the article, when making an article, do not seek merit but seek no fault, as long as it conforms to the procedure, do not write out any radical words, there is no problem.

Ten days have passed, and the marking has entered the second stage, which is the stage of determining the people to be admitted.

According to the rules, after the examiner and the deputy examiner discussed, the ranking was roughly determined, as well as the eliminated articles, many of the same examiners are basically familiar with these articles, if they have no objections, then it means that they are passed, if they have objections, they can directly put it forward, and the examiner or deputy examiner makes an explanation.

Of course, the final decision of the examiner shall prevail.

This kind of discussion is generally very relaxed, and the examiner knows which articles may be eliminated, and they basically understand, because these articles are selected by them, and there is no accident, the worse articles will always be eliminated.

As for Xie Yuan and Ya Yuan, it's hard to say, it mainly depends on what the examiner knows, even if it is the deputy examiner in this regard, it is difficult to change the examiner's decision.

Wang Xiang is still very democratic, for a few days in a row, together with the deputy examiner, and the four same examiners, of course, Wang Xiang and the deputy examiner basically unified their views, just to see if the examiner has any other opinions.

The process of determining the ranking was very smooth, but when Xie Yuan and Yayuan were finally determined in the township test, the same examiner did not participate, and the deputy examiner did not participate, which is something that the chief examiner needs to determine.

On the day when the marking was over, Wang Xiang took out his own silver and ordered the sergeant to go outside to buy some meat, and also bought two pots of wine, he drank with the deputy examiner and the same examiner.
