With all kinds of entanglements, Wen Tiren entered the Tribute Academy and began to preside over the matters of the examination papers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, it is also a huge honor to be able to become the chief examiner of the examination, Wen Tiren as a cabinet minister, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it is even more advantageous, at least the tribute who passed the examination, regard Wen Tiren as a teacher, under the right circumstances, Wen Tiren shows his influence, this possibility is completely existent.

But Wen Tiren by no means sees it that way, his thoughts are different, since he has entered the cabinet, he has to become the first assistant of the cabinet, and truly control the cabinet, this is his ultimate goal, if he wants to achieve this goal, he needs to be forbearant when he should forbear, and he needs to act decisively when he should shoot.

How to stop this trend and prevent the continuous growth of the Donglin Party is also a problem that Wen Tiren needs to seriously think about and face.

There will always be a way.

The marking of the examination paper is a closed management, which is the same as the township examination.

Wen Tiren presided over the examination papers, and did not immediately change the original pattern, he still asked the examiner to mark the papers first, and the selected test papers were checked by the examiner and the deputy examiner, and the test papers reviewed by the examiner and the deputy examiner would be seen by him, and finally the final ranking of the examination would be determined with the examiner.

Of course, Wen Tiren still has a lot of power in this, that is, he can determine the final ranking of the candidates according to his own preferences, especially the belonging of Huiyuan, which is in his control.

Wen Tiren is still very effective in doing things, after the marking began, he patrolled on both sides, although he did not personally look at each test paper, but he will always pay attention to the situation of the same examiner, the chief examiner, the deputy chief examiner and the same examiner, did not expect Wen Tiren to personally participate in the marking, so the mood is also high, and the attitude is extremely serious.

Each selected test paper has been repeatedly pondered, and it is also necessary to compare with each other, and only really good articles will be selected first.

In this way, the pressure on the same examiner has increased suddenly, because they have raised the height of the marking, and the requirements for the essay have also increased invisibly, which will make the first batch of essays selected not many, once the selected test papers are less than 360, then the same examiner will have to choose among those essays that look good and are temporarily put aside.

Fortunately, the ability of these fellow examiners is by no means ordinary, their ability to review articles is very strong, and they basically know the advantages and disadvantages of each article, and it is not particularly difficult to choose.

Five days have passed, and more than half of the articles that will be tested for the first exam have been selected.

Less than 100 articles have been selected.

The main examination and the deputy chief examiner are a little anxious, according to this speed, the fifteen-day marking time is obviously not enough, but Wen Tiren is not in a hurry at all, but the main examination and the deputy chief examiner are highly valued, and the emperor and the court attach great importance to this examination, and it is beneficial to be careful, so that the real talents can be selected for the imperial court.

Wen Tiren's attitude was a great comfort to the examiner and fellow examiners, who calmed down and continued to carefully mark and review the papers, so the speed of marking was significantly accelerated.

By the eighth day, nearly 300 articles had been selected, of which six papers were put aside, and if nothing else, these papers could enter the top 10 of the examination, and the huiyuan of the examination was also likely to be produced from these papers.

Wen Tiren still didn't look at the test papers, he was not in a hurry, there were still five days for him to carefully review the test papers and articles, in fact, looking at the serious attitude of many examiners and fellow examiners, Wen Tiren knew that there was no problem with the marking, these marking officials had done their best, and the selected articles must be the best articles, he only needed to finalize the ranking.

This is Wen Tiren's ability, although he did not read a test paper, and his performance has always been leisurely, but many examiners and fellow examiners admired him, and he did his best to mark the papers without the slightest complaint.

After all, this is Wen Tiren's affirmation of many examiners, who are cabinet ministers and have an unusual status.

On the tenth day, all 360 papers were selected, as were the 12 most prominent essays.

The papers and texts of the second and third exams were all read, and a small number of test papers were selected.

The first stage of marking has been completed, and so far, the main work of the examination has been completed.

Wen Tiren ordered the sergeants guarding the Gongyuan to buy good wine from outside, specially entertained many chief examiners and fellow examiners, and affirmed everyone's efforts.

The examiner needs to determine the ranking of the 360 examination papers and articles, and refer to the articles of the second and third examinations to determine the final admission personnel.

There are three stacks of test papers in front of the examiner, the first stack of test papers has a total of twelve, which is the top ten candidates, Hui Yuan is also among them, the second stack of test papers is 338 papers, and the third stack of test papers is ten.

The third stack of test papers is basically eliminated, the Ministry of Rites has long had a detailed understanding of the candidates' situation, and those who have physical disabilities, the list has been sent to the Gongyuan, if there is such a candidate among the three hundred and fifty test papers, it will be eliminated, and one person will be eliminated, and one will be selected from the remaining ten test papers to supplement.

After the final ranking is determined, the examiner will move the test papers of these candidates, and the examiner will then review, in fact, there is no writing that is too poor, and it is impossible to become the top ten candidates for the examination, as for the ranking low, it doesn't matter, anyway, such a tribute, even if he participates in the palace examination, the emperor of the article can't see it, at most it is the top three Jinshi.

The second stage of marking lasted for three days, and the examiner and the deputy examiner basically determined the rankings, both of them became panda eyes, they had to stay up late, and there was hardly much time to sleep every day, because they had to leave enough time for Wen Tiren, the reason why they basically determined their fame meant that they determined the ranking from the thirteenth to the three hundred and fifty, as for the ranking from the first to the twelfth, they would never decide.

The fourth day of the second stage of grading.

Twelve articles were sent to Wen Tiren's hands.

Wen Tiren did not look at these test papers directly, but asked the chief examiner and the deputy chief examiner what kind of characteristics the articles in these twelve test papers had and why they were selected.

The examiner immediately began to answer Wen Tiren's questions in detail.

The reason why Wen Tiren asked so much, in fact, is the trust of the chief examiner and the deputy chief examiner, he will basically determine the ranking of the top ten candidates for the examination according to the situation reported by the two, the top ten tributes, in the palace examination more than 20 days later, it is very likely that they are the first candidates, of course, this is not completely certain, some of the top ten tributes, in the palace examination is too nervous, but may not play well, some of the lower tributes, but in the palace examination extraordinary.

Such situations are very common.

When the examiner was still reporting the situation of the test papers, Wen Tiren's face became a little more serious, and he asked a few more words about a certain test paper mentioned by the examiner, and the examiner's answer was also very fluent, thinking that this article was substantial, well-organized, and there were many bright spots, which was very rare.

The deputy examiner took the same view.

Wen Tiren listened very carefully, and after the chief examiner and deputy chief examiner finished reporting, he immediately picked out this article from the twelve test papers and began to read it carefully.

In the process of reading, Wen Tiren's face changed slightly, he didn't expect that there were such talents among the candidates, although he said that he did not enter the court to do things, but he cared about the changes in the court situation, and was able to put forward some reasonable suggestions for the direction of the court, such articles, compared to those articles that pile up words and sentences, I don't know how many times it is stronger, some articles are indeed very well written, and they are catchy to read, but unfortunately there is no understanding and opinion of their own throughout the article, except for the gorgeousness of the words and sentences, It's hard to have anything else that stands out.

Almost at the same time as reading this test paper, Wen Tiren had already determined the ownership of Huiyuan.

In the next day, Wen Tiren carefully read the remaining eleven articles provided by the examiner and the deputy examiner, eliminated two of them, and determined that the remaining ten were the top ten in the examination.

On the last day of grading, Wen Tiren finally completely determined the top ten rankings in the examination after careful consideration.

In the process of marking the papers, he completely adhered to the principles and lived up to the emperor's trust, but he also faintly felt that the tributes admitted this time, I don't know how many of them are members of the Fushe, but once the ranking is determined, even if he is the cabinet minister and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he cannot change the ranking, this is the rule.

Wen Tiren is worried about the first place in the examination that he has determined, if he is a member of the Restoration Society, then he will slap himself in the face, invisibly helping the Restoration Society to grow its strength, and in the end there is nothing to say.

After the first-place test paper was opened, Wen Tiren saw a very comfortable block letter, which could not be said to be very well written, but the overall look was very comfortable.

Next, Wen Tiren saw an unfamiliar name, as well as the candidate's place of origin.

A smile finally appeared on Wen Tiren's face.
