On the ninth day, with the last person full of frustration to hand in the test papers, Jiajing's 26th year of the examination officially ended, like the township test, signed by the collector with a seal, and then by the outer curtain of the seal official to seal the name, sent to the transcription office by the transcription staff with a red pen to transcribe into a red scroll, and then read by a special person, after confirming that it is correct, the sealed Zhu scroll was sealed, the two volumes were sent to the palm office, the red number of the Zhu ink roll was checked, and the two volumes were separated, the ink roll was stored at the outer curtain official, and the red roll was sent to the inner curtain flying Hongqiao.

This is to avoid the possibility of the examiner cheating because he knows the student's handwriting, although it is still impossible to avoid some omissions, but this is already very good, the eighteenth room with the examiner has been waiting for the arrival of the examiner Sun Chengen and the surveillance officer Lu Bing in the marking room, ready to mark the paper at any time.

After a while, the chief examiner Sun Chengen wore an official uniform, and the surveillance officer Lu Bing wore a Confucian costume and entered the marking place, and the main reason why Lu Bing, as a military attache and a spy chief, wore Confucian clothes is because there is a statue of Confucius, the common ancestor of scholars, so the first thing everyone has to do is to bow three times and bow nine times to Confucius, the common ancestor of all scholars, under the leadership of Sun Chengen, and then pretend to make an oath.

For the country's social justice, do not follow personal feelings, do not be asked, do not accept bribes, have a negative heart, and the gods will die together!

So from this point of view, the higher the status of the Ming Dynasty officials, the more they don't care about the oath they made, among the eighteen room examiners, six or seven have been instructed by Yan Song, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, to do some tricks and feet when reading the papers, some hands and feet that everyone doesn't know, they don't care about any long-term retribution, they only care about the immediate interests, long-term vision, after all, only a few people.

At this point, Sun Chengen, a person who has been in officialdom for a long time and even has a relatively bad relationship with Yan Song, is naturally Men'er Qing, after worshipping Confucius, he stood up, glanced at everyone here with a majestic gaze, and said with the majesty of a bachelor who is about to enter the cabinet: "You should also know how much this exam is valued by Your Majesty, so when you mark the papers, you must pay attention to the word fairness, even if you don't remember it very clearly, just think about your family, think about the children of the family and the incense of the family, Don't stumble and hate for eternity! ”

The meaning of the words is to warn some people not to make small moves, they were discovered by themselves, they are not his strict people, even if Yan Fenyi is strong, there is still a Xia Shoufu and an emperor on his head, don't think that his strict actions are careful to think about my grandson Someone who doesn't know at all!

Several examiners had ghosts in their hearts, but fortunately, everyone bowed their heads together for training, and Sun Chengen couldn't see anything, so he nodded to Lu Bing: "Supervisor Lu, you can distribute the test papers!" ”

Lu Bing nodded, waved his hand, and said: "Distribute the test papers, give me a little light, if there are some people who have forgotten their ancestors and the inheritance of incense, let's help them have a long memory!" ”

The meaning of the threat in Lu Bing's words is also very clear, it is almost the threat of Chiguoguo, the people he sent here are all old Jinyiwei who has more than ten years of surveillance experience in Jinyiwei, and they understand this aspect quite thoroughly, and in modern times, each of them is a very powerful human behaviorist.

The examiners were awe-inspiring, some people were not threatened, and they were not Yan Song's people, so naturally they had not been greeted, as for those who were greeted, they were also a little afraid, and they made up their minds not to take those examination papers with signals written on them, but to try to take them low and low in the process of searching and dropping the papers, which can be regarded as a full command from Yan Ge Lao, after all, the current government is still unclear, the strong Xia Yan suppresses the ministers, and the ministers are afraid of its authority, even Yan Song, who already has a certain amount of power, is inevitably suppressed by Xia Yan.

Whether Yan Ge Lao can succeed or not remains to be discussed, and there is no need for everyone to work so hard, if Sun Shangshu of the hostile forces catches the handle, it will be terrible, not only will he be finished, but he may also involve many people by the way, and when the time comes, there will be a case of fraud in the imperial examination, and it will really "go down in history".

The eighteenth room examiner draws lots according to the usual practice, each person is randomly assigned a test paper, returns to his seat and sits upright, waiting for the chief examiner Sun Chengen to show his proposed Cheng Wen - that is, the standard answer to this examination, and so Sun Chengen sent down the article he prepared according to the will of Emperor Jiajing, and then announced the requirements for taking the paper, the examiners tore open the bundle of papers, began to read and comment, if they saw the article they liked, they would circle it with a cyan ink pen, and make a preliminary assessment, and then hand it over to the deputy chief examiner.

The rules are the same as the township test, this is called the recommendation paper, if it becomes a recommendation paper, there are five or six points to be taken, the deputy examiner looks at it if he also likes, he will approve a "take" word on the recommendation paper, and then send it to the examiner, if you get this "take" word, eight or nine out of ten can be taken, and so on the final examiner also likes, then write a "in" word, congratulations to this player, at least, as long as you don't make a mistake, violate the emperor's taboo, the name of the jinshi will be in hand, the unbearable scholar's journey, and finally come to the end, It's time to beat the drum and open the champagne to celebrate!

In this exam, in fact, Emperor Jiajing has some ideas, he already believes in the omen of heaven, in the previous years, the country in the south and the north, chaotic, so that he is also quite troubled, until Zheng Guang was born, the southeast has achieved a great victory at the same time, the northwest is also led by Zeng Milling, in Shaanxi on the three sides of the military victories, the north and south won at the same time, the country has a rare peaceful year, which can not help but let the Jiajing Emperor feel that he has come to run.

The so-called no pole Tailai, anything goes to the extreme, will change, the previous twenty-five years, he has been unlucky to the extreme, his father can't admit it, he was oppressed by the ministers, and finally cleaned up the ministers and rectified the court, and was hated and isolated by the ministers, the monarchs and ministers never had an unprecedented confrontation and mutual hatred, so that every time they went to the court, it was as if they were enemies meeting, and then they almost became a joke through the ages, and almost died in the hands of a group of weak palace maids who were powerless. This almost deprived him of his majesty as emperor.

Since then, the gloomy Forbidden City has become a forbidden area in his heart, no matter what, he will not go back again, this is the oath that Emperor Jiajing himself made to himself, and at this time, the southern and northern captives began to intensify, the south of the Japanese rampant, the north of the United tribe, began to plunder in the south, the Hongzhi Zhengde lost the evil consequences of the Hetao was finally reflected, the Ming Dynasty nine sides of the smoke every year, there was no stability, millions of military expenses smashed down, in exchange for one failed war report after another, The officers executed one after another, but the combat effectiveness of the army did not improve in the slightest.

Finally, these problems affected the theoretically richest man in the country, the emperor, that is, himself, and the Jiajing Emperor was horrified to find that he could not even make up the expenses for the monasticism, the treasury of the household department was empty enough to run a carriage, and his own small treasury was also stretched, and it was only at this time that he realized how far the country had become, and just when he was in a panic, good news came from the south......

Then came the good news from the north, then the even better news from the south, and then from the north came a letter from a governor asking for an initiative to retake the Loop.

In the second half of the twenty-fifth year of Jiajing, the national fortunes of the rivers and rivers seemed to have suddenly come to a turn, the north and the south at the same time, and actually let the land and sea frontiers of the Ming Dynasty settle down together, the rampant enemy in the past was beaten hard, and the beating eyes were not able to distinguish between east and west, north and south, and fled back to his hometown to lick his wounds, the New Year of Jiajing 26 years is the most comfortable and most relieved since Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne. It can also be regarded as easing the tense atmosphere of the monarch and ministers.

This situation, can't help but let Emperor Jiajing think about it, he thought of Zheng Guang's struggle in the south, the heads of nearly 10,000 Japanese robbers, remembered the heroic words of Zeng Milling in the northwest, in the case of the southern and northern captives, the north and south of the Ming Dynasty at the same time appeared in the north and south of the people who can share their own worries, that is, one of them is too young to even be counted as an official, but this is a signal, a signal of Jiajing Zhongxing!

Emperor Jiajing entered the big sect with a small sect, the congenital conditions were not good, and the momentum was weak, if he bowed his head and obeyed the courtiers, he would definitely be severely suppressed by the courtiers, and this was unbearable for Zhu Houxuan, who had a strong personality, and lowered his eyebrows for three years, stabilized his position and power, and the Jiajing Emperor, who was only 18 years old, declared war on the powerful Yang Tinghe clique, and through the long dispute over the Great Rites - in fact, the struggle between the imperial power and the out-of-control cabinet power, destroyed Yang Tinghe and the clique, and supported his own power - The cabinet group headed by Zhang Xuan completely controlled the supreme power of the Ming Dynasty.

He is definitely not a king who is willing to be at the mercy of others and willing to degenerate, otherwise, he would not have spent more than ten years to destroy the out-of-control Yang Tinghe group, and even created a situation of political communication and harmony in the early days of Jiajing, he has just been the emperor for a long time, the supreme for a long time, tired, sluggish, and wants to be lazy, but when the problem arises again and gradually loses control, Emperor Jiajing will not be willing to hurt his face so much.

He is afraid of trouble and problems, but if the problem shows signs of being solved, and it is so strong, so strong that the main battle faction within the imperial court is so strong, Emperor Jiajing is eager to solve the problem, and in one fell swoop to create a situation in Jiajing Zhongxing, and reverse his disadvantageous position in history, the heart beats violently.

And the heart of this heart is directly reflected in the questions of this imperial examination!
