"Gentlemen, shouldn't such a scroll be chosen?" The examiner in charge was full of emotion, and patted the paper in his hand: "Lord Lu said that the paper I chose is bullshit, and the lower officials are soft-spoken, Lord Lu wants to suppress people, but Guan Dingyu is not convinced." There are gods and national laws like mountains. Lord Lu dared to touch his conscience and say, is the paper I chose not good? ”

The other examiners all nodded at the same time and said, "I think these two papers are very good, what Lord Lu just said is unfair and inappropriate." ”

was made such a show by the examiner, Lu Fengyi was angry and anxious, and sneered: "There are quite a lot of talents in the Tianzihao examination room presided over by the examiner, and the papers selected are also exquisite, which is really a good vision." ”

The examiner said lightly: "I can't say that my vision is not good, although the lower officials are dull, but gold or brass, they can distinguish clearly." Tianzihao is full of talents, and it is also the glory of me as a house master. ”

"Well said, well said!" Lu Fengyi suddenly laughed: "What Lord Guan said is very true, and I have a relationship with my heart!" ”

Guan Dingyu didn't expect Lu Fengyi to echo his opinion, so he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt something bad in his heart. I thought: Am I saying something wrong?

Sure enough, Lu Fengyi continued: "Since the examiner's Tianzi room is full of talents, there must be missing talents. As the chief examiner, we have received the holy will, and we must select useful people for the country, so that there will be no talents. Therefore, this official suggests that you can leave the two good articles you just read, brush off the others, and choose a few more to make up. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone began to talk in whispers.

Lord Lu's discussion is also a common practice in the science field, the so-called gleaning, also known as searching for relics.

It was the responsible examiners who were afraid of missing out on talents, so they gathered the test papers thrown in the wastepaper basket by the examiners in each room, lit the lamp and stayed up all night, checked it carefully, and suddenly found a good paper, convened a table transfer meeting, and temporarily made up the record. This kind of hard work is something that few examiners are willing to do.

The "search for relics" in previous dynasties was just done by the examiners in order to arrange their own personal papers, and the examiners naturally knew the truth, so they generally hid far away.

To be honest, the examiners of each room have been suffering in the tribute courtyard for more than 20 days, and they have long been impatient, and they just want to send the list home early. In addition, after staying up all night, everyone was so tired that they were staggering, and it was really redundant to search for the relics again.

Everyone was a little dissatisfied with Lu Fengyi, and they all thought to themselves: I, you, have appointed to preside over the Shandong Township Test, and the above hopes that we will be stable, the wind will be calm, the waves will be quiet, and the errand will be completed in January, and we will go back to resume our lives, and we will have to pass the pass of the imperial court. Now it's time for you to make a mess and stir up a mess, aren't you tired?

But Lu Fengyi is the deputy chief examiner, which is within his authority, but it is not easy to say anything.

I can only look at Bao Yingxia and the supervisor to see if they can veto Lord Lu's extra move.

Bao Yingxia said gently: "The candidates in each room are from different backgrounds, different cultures and education, different natural qualifications, and the candidates are also uneven. Some rooms are full of more talented people, and some rooms are less, which is also normal. There are also fixed places for each room to choose and send papers, and it is also a sad thing for someone to lose. It's just that there is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. Otherwise, if you want to pursue the fairness of the decision, then in the place where Jiangsu, Zhejiang, culture and education are prosperous, you can easily send one to the north to take the test. And remote provinces such as Longxi and Yunnan-Guizhou don't need to take the test, and they can't take the Jiangnan Shizi test again. This is also the original intention of the Holy Ancestor to divide the imperial examination into the north and the south. According to this official, there is no need to search for relics. ”

Master Bao said fairly, and everyone couldn't stop nodding.

Guan Dingyu's admiration and reverence for Bao Yingxia has increased again, and the previous suspicions about him have naturally disappeared, leaving no trace.

Seeing that all the examiners were unwilling to find this trouble again, Lu Fengyi was anxious and secretly screamed badly. On a cold day, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

A while ago, news came that he, Lu Fengyi, was going to the Ministry of Officials to fill a real vacancy after presiding over the township test of Shuntian Mansion. This is a great opportunity for him to soar into the sky. However, if he can't even do this well, it not only shows that he Lu Fengyi has no ability to do things, but also offends the grandmother above him to death.

At that time, not only will he not be able to be the official of the ministry, but he will only need to let it go, and then directly reject the impeachment of Hu Zongxian. Without the help of the party, with the power of the strict party, he could be pinched to death with one finger.

He could not imagine this consequence, and he did not dare to imagine it.

But Bao Yingxia is the main examiner, and he is only the deputy chief examiner. If Lord Bao wants to veto this proposal, he Lu Fengyi has no choice!

Lu Fengyi's face was so white that it lost its blood.

In a hurry, Lu Fengyi suddenly noticed that the official surnamed Ju among the two invigilators had something flashing on his waist in the light.

When I looked closely, it was a half-long mutton fat jade tube, which was worn on the body of the pipe with a ribbon and hung around the waist.

"It's ...... It's a pencil! Lu Fengyi's heart sank, and she immediately realized that it was not yet to the point of exhaustion.

This is a pencil made by Ouchi, and I heard that it costs ten taels of silver each, and the refill is mixed with gold dust. A while ago, Long Live Lord suddenly became interested and asked the manufacturing office to make hundreds of them for personal use. When you are in a good mood, it will also be used to reward those close to you.

At the beginning, after Lu Fengyi entered Beijing, she met an important person and gave him a few.

At that time, Lord Lu didn't care about this kind of novelty. But after using it, I think this thing is really good, you can carry it with you, you can write very quickly, and you don't have to grind the ink and wash the pen.

I also used a jade pen tube and hung it on my waist. One is to be an ornament, and the other is to show off.

Seeing that the invigilator also had a pencil hanging on his waist, Lord Lu was overjoyed at the same time, but he was also shocked: This No. 30 candidate Wu Jie is really hand-eyed, and I Lu Fengyi alone is taking care of me in the examination room. There are also other people arranged to escort it, which is really shocking and terrifying.

At that moment, Lu Fengyi's heart immediately collapsed, and she said loudly: "What Master Bao said is not right, the matter of searching for the remains, according to this official, is very necessary,"

"Oh." Bao Yingxia was a little surprised.

Lu Fengyi was a little afraid that Bao Yingxia would make another tirade, and immediately said: "Lord Bao, otherwise, search or not be suspicious, let the proctor decide it." ”

Bao Yingxia had no choice, he felt that this was just one thing, and it didn't matter.

He turned around and asked the examiner, "It's up to the three adults to decide." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, but the examiner surnamed Ju smiled: "Isn't it just a search for suspicion, what a big deal." Lord Lu is also a public heart, I think so. ”

The other examiner and the promoter also nodded at the same time: "Yes." ”
