Chapter 214: The Palace Examination Paper
China is a humane society, the champion is not what you think, if you really don't have any connections, even if you get the champion? It's just a water champion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, the Yan family did not bother to directly tie up the new champion, although the champion is powerful, but after all, he has no real power, and whether he can set off waves in the imperial court in the future depends on his personal creation.
But this year, things are a little different, and it's weird.
Jiajing, who has always rarely taken care of political affairs, suddenly added green words to the imperial examination, and even made two questions in the palace examination for the first time! This is rare in the previous imperial examinations, so Yan Song also attaches great importance to this imperial examination.
"The emperor's temperament is a little repetitive, saying that the wind is rain, and I don't know what kind of wind was blown this year, you and I should be cautious."
In fact, it was Yan Song who said this, Yan Shifan invited Li Weiguo to his mansion, but now Li Weiguo doesn't know how to lift, so don't blame me!
When the palace test was marked, he had to be confused as usual, although the Yan family was powerful, he was not so bold to let him open the name in a grand manner, after all, although Jiajing was mediocre, no one could match the trick of power and scheming.
Yan Shifan faintly felt that this Li Weiguo would definitely become a stumbling block for the Yan family in the future, so this was also an unprecedented bad force against a 14th or 5th elementary school student, and the two notes that he had just handed over were Li Weiguo's handwriting on Sun Shan!
When reading the papers, the ministers of the Yan Party had to judge whether the students Yan Shifan was talking about were the current ones according to their handwriting, and then they would judge the comments and give the grades.
This job is not easy to do, although the number of people in the palace examination is not large, but after all, it is also three hundred people! Besides, the handwriting is also similar to the shape, and the candidates use the same style in the hall, where will it be so easy to judge?
"The person at the end of the appointment, it should be this candidate, right!?"
Comparing the notes handed over by Xiao Huangmen again and again, the examiner was a little difficult to do, and sneakily read the notes over and over again, and finally determined that Sun Shan's handwriting should be the candidate in front of him.
After reading the paper again and again, this examiner finally made a difficulty!
It is said that although the level of this person's green words is not outrageous, after all, it is a whitewashed and peaceful green word, and it will definitely be favored by the saints when it is presented; The article is also written with great praise, which should be the most pleasing to the emperor.
"Since the founding of Taizu in this dynasty, there have been many heroes, especially the wise and martial ...... of Emperor Jiajing in my dynasty" A large number of whiskers slapped down and wrote some official examination methods, written quite profoundly, although such a volume can not be real, but the current court is like this, Lord Yan has already hinted at his own examiners, it stands to reason that this person's paper should not only be given to a Sun Shan, is it wrong?
After comparing it again and again, the minister, who had already read hundreds of files, finally determined that the handwriting of this person from Sun Shan was exactly the same as that handed over by this little yellow door, and it should be the same person.
Do you really want to give this person a final ranking?
The examiners were quite cautious when the temple examination was marked, because in the end the cabinet only gave a suggestion, and the final ranking was still determined by the saint, if the saint said on a whim that he would take out this person's paper and read it, this kind of paper is afraid that it is quite in line with the holy will, and then the blame will be made, how should you round the field?
Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?
Helpless, it seems that some means are going to be used!
The time to review this paper is not short, and if it drags on any longer, I am afraid that it will arouse everyone's suspicions, so the examiner simply dipped it in some black ink and wiped it on.
The ink is not big, and you can't see it if you don't look closely, but strictly speaking, it's also a volume!
When the papers were read in advance, the subordinates of the Yan Mansion had called for someone to send a small bamboo tube of ink, and the examiners understood it, and they all knew what it meant, so they naturally knew what means should be used in this matter.
In order to prevent the examiner from making mistakes or favoritism on the paper, all the examiners used an exception when the hall examination was reviewed, so it can be judged that if there is black ink on the paper, the person who holds the paper is the candidate himself, and has nothing to do with the examiner!
After doing this, the examiner quietly put away the bamboo tube and paper strip, and gave an inferior evaluation, which handed the paper to the examiner below.
Eight examiners cross-mark and finalize the ranking based on the number of grades the candidate has received.
It's like a later generation of teachers who give you a grade of A, B, C, and D when they mark their homework, and then according to how many A, B, C, and D you have, the cabinet elders will look at it and finally determine the results, and the palace exams in previous years have been like this.
It's just that......
In previous years, there were very few cases of scrolls during the palace examination!
The paper has always been the greatest sin in the imperial examination, the general candidates are quite cautious, and the examination time is also abundant, under the careful inspection, if it is really a paper will naturally be re-transcribed, so there will generally be no paper in the previous palace examination, but today, the unprecedented paper is out!
If so, what do you have to say to Sun Shan, your candidate?
Since this paper passed through this person's hands, the examiners who made difficulties were one after another, and the palace examination papers, but the papers were made of flowers, how should this be evaluated?
Three hundred examination papers, and there are only two green words and current affairs policies, and the review is not slow, and it will not be long before the palace examination is over.
Xiao Huangmen held a special box and put this scroll into it, which was then sent to Wenyuan Pavilion.
Wenyuan Pavilion is the location of the Ming Dynasty cabinet office.
The cabinet is a characteristic of the Ming Dynasty, since the early Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, this cabinet also came into being, to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, gradually become the country's power decision-making body, not to be underestimated.
Most of the cabinet members were favored by the emperor, and after the government affairs were submitted by the local envoys, the cabinet voted for and then submitted to the Holy Lord's personal judge.
The same is true for the imperial examination, after the official who marks the paper gives you the score evaluation, it will be sent to the cabinet, and the cabinet will determine the ranking of the candidates according to the results obtained by the candidates, and finally hand it over to the saint for personal ruling.
At this time, the roll box of the little yellow door was delivered, and he only waited for the cabinet to evaluate the results.
Open the roll box, at this time the name can not be opened, the elders mainly according to the examiner's assessment of the final decision, and then hand it over to the saint, the task is completed.
Most of the people who can enter the cabinet are some well-informed and capable old people, and they have seen a lot of scenes, and they are also familiar with the road and smooth sailing.
"This volume ......"
Xu Jie had already entered the cabinet at this time, and suddenly saw a volume that was a little difficult.
"Oh? Zisheng, what's the matter? Yan Song asked with a smile.
Generally, the elders don't do the work of grading, the papers have already been read, and the elders are just based on the evaluation marks made by the examiners to finally assess the rankings, and the daily things are so busy, and the emperor can't serve them, who has so much effort to serve the candidates?
"Elder Yan Ge, look at this volume!"
Xu Jie's original was just a roller coaster glance at the final score, but the roll in front of him was really good, but he got five forks!
When grading, the examiner will make five kinds of marks, and the fifth class is this fork!
Yan Song was afraid to understand the reason when he looked at the papers, after all, this year's imperial examination was still taken care of by Yan Shifan's family, so he stroked his beard and smiled: "It turned out that this candidate has a paper!" ”
As usual, the papers of the paper are not allowed to have a good ranking, that is, the palace examination is not brushed, and if it is a lower-level examination, the person who takes the paper can be directly removed!
Xu Jie was a little sad, although he doubted whether this scroll was made by this student himself! But the matter has come to this point, but there is nothing to say, so I have to wave the pen: "Alas, it's a pity, this son, it seems that he can only give a fellow jinshi!" ”
As he spoke, Xu Jie was so curious, who was this person's surname, and the article was written so sacredly? If you have a chance another day, it's best to win it over! (To be continued.) )
