Sun Chengen has already noticed some different flavors from the questions of this exam, Emperor Jiajing himself is a very smart person, and people who are extremely smart have their own quirks, for example, Emperor Jiajing doesn't like to speak too clearly, he likes courtiers who have the same heart as him, and hates courtiers who need to speak too clearly.

Only smart people can be their own courtiers - Emperor Jiajing thinks so, so he hates those obtuse people, dull people are not worthy of entering the cabinet to become his close ministers, and in fact, since Emperor Jiajing entered Xiyuan, only cabinet ministers can get close to the emperor, and the rest of the six departments and Jiuqing can not see the emperor's back from a distance except for the annual festival when they worship their ancestors, and almost the entire official career of the eunuch can not see the emperor.

So, how important it is to have a heart-to-heart connection! In fact, the reason why Yan Song was able to dictate for twenty years was also thanks to his own cleverness and the evil of his son Yan Shifan.

Sun Chengen was not a very smart person, but how could he not understand some of the emperor's habits when he could get to the point where he was only one step away from the cabinet scholars? The emperor likes to test his courtiers to stabilize his position, and knows the thoughts of his courtiers well, but the courtiers will not study the emperor's code of conduct to find certain rules, but use them to their own advantage?

The emperor wants to do something to the southeast and northwest, he has been fed up with the vigilance of the southern and northern captives and the Beijing division every year, under the premise of not being able to move the capital, he can no longer accept the threat of being threatened by the northern captives every year, nor can he accept the decreasing southeast taxes every year under the influence of the southern Japanese, thinking of the previous Su Song victory in the southeast and the governor of the northwest trilateral Zeng Milling to recover the Hetao, Sun Chengen understood the emperor's intentions.

The emperor needs to select capable courtiers, a courtier who thinks about the emperor to solve problems, instead of only thinking about the golden mean, just like the officialdom is dull and united with the old ministers to fight against the emperor's stumbling blocks! The country needs courtiers who can do things, not just science and Taoist officials who only know how to shout at the top of their voices!

So, taking the right one is the most fundamental meaning of the emperor, right? The articles I have read before are indeed very good, with clear ideas and substances, and it is a rare good article, but before reading all the articles, you can't make decisions on your own, which is not only the dignity of being the chief examiner, but also the sense of responsibility of a courtier who is in charge - if you abandon a move that should have been selected in order to serve the emperor, then as the chief examiner, you are derelict in your duty.

Slowly, the examiners passed the articles they valued to the position of the deputy examiner, and the deputy examiner wrote the word "take" on the article he fancied and handed it to the chief examiner Sun Chengen, Sun Chengen turned out to be the first paper recommended by the deputy examiner, looked at the above article, looked at the time of a stick of incense, nodded, and felt good, probably can take the middle high, so he wrote the word "medium", and the first test paper that was taken appeared.

As time goes by, there are more and more test papers on Sun Chengen's desk, generally speaking, the papers jointly recommended by the examiner and the deputy examiner are not bad, and the quality of the three checkpoints is not bad, and it is really difficult to appear a paper that is indiscriminate, and Sun Chengen is famous for doing things impartially, and it is really difficult to play carefully under his nose, out of his sense of responsibility, he will roughly browse each article, and he really thinks that the good ones will be selected, if they do not meet his meaning, He really didn't give face to the deputy examiner and rejected it directly.

The paper rejected by the examiner, the deputy examiner will generally not recommend it again, but if the deputy examiner really thinks it is very good, it will be recommended again and again, if the examiner is dissatisfied, it will be rejected again and again, once there is this tug-of-war, the monitor will intervene, select another deputy examiner and several markers to watch the paper together, and then raise their hands to vote, whether to agree to win, if the majority agree, the examiner must watch the test paper again, if you really do not agree, you must give a suitable reason, Otherwise, the deputy examiner can go to the emperor with the paper and ask for an explanation.

Sun Chengen's level is very high, the deputy examiner handed over more than 100 points of recommendation papers, he rejected more than 20 copies, and among the remaining more than 80 copies, he only selected two papers that can be ranked in front of him to run for the top three, this is his habit, put the barely passable, good, and excellent ones separately, and then the ranking is divided according to this.

Probably the title is a little unexpected, and the emperor's requirements are not the same as in the past, those who are full of sage words in benevolence, righteousness and morality obviously can not meet the emperor's requirements, the emperor is to read part of the volume, if he takes some old masters, the emperor will definitely not be satisfied, so unless the article is indeed well written, in order to select future teacher candidates, Sun Chengen will take some articles in the tone of the old master, and the rest will be dismissed.

Looking at it, Sun Chengen's eyes suddenly lit up, and the familiar words appeared in front of him, in fact, this is also a form of cheating, but everyone can't say anything, strictly speaking, the examiner can't watch the candidate's test paper before grading, but Sun Chengen took a test paper to take a look at it in order to relieve his boring emotions, and it didn't hurt, not that it couldn't, so Sun Chengen watched Zheng Guang's exam paper in advance, and no one could say a word.

At this time, it reflects the particularity of this approach, because this time, Sun Chengen locked Zheng Guang's examination papers, and the comments given by the marking officer are the best choice, the words are tangible, the words are substantial, the sentences are excellent, there are no mistakes or omissions, the questions are exquisite, the ending is ingenious, and the reading is catchy, which is really the best eight-share article.

Sun Chengen carefully read Zheng Guang's three eight-strand essays, he only read the first one before, and he didn't read it too carefully, now look at it, Zheng Guang really said a lot of things, but it was limited to the length of the eight-strand essay, although the flowers were written, but he didn't see much actual things, Sun Chengen had an understanding, and directly turned to see the final policy link, and read it carefully, Sun Chengen could be regarded as seeing the difference between Zheng Guang who had done the right thing and other fake big empty candidates.

It seems that Zheng Guang is also keenly aware of the emperor's thoughts and hopes, and did not point out that he is the person who pacifies the southeast Japanese troubles, which is also taboo in the imperial examination, but what he said about the strategy of preparing for the Japanese to resist the Japanese and the peaceful Japanese, a complete three-year plan, is based on his own experience, very true, operable, at this moment Sun Chengen feels that Zheng Guang's examination paper, the most valuable is not the three most important eight-share articles, the most important, is this policy.

After writing down his comments, Sun Chengen put this test paper into the best batch of test papers, and waited until all the papers were marked, and then ranked.

The work of marking the papers is very large, generally not nine or ten days can not be done, the marking officers in this semi-house arrest situation, after a long period of high-intensity work, finally all the test papers to be assessed, preliminary statistics, the examination has been selected 277 test papers, 277 lifters have basically locked this year's Jinshi identity, and then the two deputy examiners together suggested that the search papers, the reason is that the number of admissions is too small, it may be difficult to convince the public.

Sun Chengen agreed, in fact, this is a routine, at the beginning of the selection every year, the test papers will be selected with high requirements and high standards, and after the selection of the best batch, it is found that the number of people is still small, and then the search will begin to fall, but without exception, the qualified people who search the papers will be ranked in the back, and will never enter the front ranking.

The scope of the search is at least through the selection of the marking officer, there is no need to search the test papers that have been knocked down in the link of the marking officer, and the test papers recommended by the marking officer to the deputy examiner and the test papers recommended by the deputy examiner to the chief examiner are the focus of the search.

They thought it was good, a Huiyuan with a team of three hundred tributes was very good-looking.

The rest doesn't matter, but in the top ten rankings, everyone has some differences, after some arguing, the fourth place has been arranged, and the rest is the most important top three seat arrangement, because these rankings will greatly affect the subsequent palace test rankings, the palace test does not eliminate the tributes, but the ranking of the test will directly affect the ranking of the palace test, so everyone can not be cautious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, isn't this exam paper written well enough? Look at this problem, how ingenious! How well written the article! If such an article is not set as the first place, it is really a tyrannical thing! Decades of hard work by this candidate have been in vain! The old man will never allow such a situation to happen! A white-haired old official carrying a test paper, spitting and arguing with other people's other papers, Sun Chengen was amused for a while, I don't know what this old brother would think if he knew that he had just turned eighteen years old after decades of hard work.
