- After the examination papers of the tribute scholars were sent to the Mi Feng Office, they were first folded in half by the arranger, and at the same time the names and places of origin were pasted, and then the side of a few characters in the "Book of Characters" was combined into a character that no one knew, which was used as the code name of each examination paper. After the test papers are arranged in order, they are handed over to the official for transcription and proofreading, and after the inspector checks that the test papers are correct, the test papers of the Jinshi Department are sent to the Jinshi Examination School; The examination papers of each subject shall be sent to the examination institute of each subject.

In the single-form Jinshi examination school, eight preliminary examiners spent two days to preliminarily examine 324 Jinshi papers.

Among them, the first class is the one who is knowledgeable, the rhetoric is pure, the outstanding is unique, and the incomparable.

The second class is a person who is able to learn well, has a thorough liberal arts and sciences, and can be regarded as a higher level in the group.

The third class is those who can be adopted in the art industry and are well-versed in arts and sciences. The scholar must be of the third class or above.

The fourth class is slightly inferior to the art industry, the arts and sciences are rough, and the same Jinshi background is given.

The fifth level is that the literature and science are shallow, and there is no doubt that they will fall. But now there is no one left behind except those who abandon the examination or make mistakes in the wilderness, so this is useless.

Two days later, the re-examination will be submitted to the detailed examination office, and the two detailed officials, Song Qi and Liu Chang, the official of the Shangshu Rite Department, will unveil the rank set by the preliminary examiner, and compare it with the grade set by the re-examiner, and if the two are consistent, they will be heard in turn. If there is a discrepancy between the two, the examination paper will be re-examined, either according to the initial examiner or according to the re-examiner's decision.

However, if the detailed judge believes that the judgment of the preliminary examination and the re-examination is not appropriate, it can also be different from the establishment of another grade. So these two are actually the main examiners of the temple examination.

Now. It is the sixth day of marking, and the preliminary examination has ended, and all the examination papers are presented to the two detailed judges, who will determine the ranking. This is not a difficult job, because it is not a very special situation, and the detailed judge is still based on the conclusion of the preliminary examination and re-examination.

Tear open the seal of the preliminary examiner, compare the judgment of the re-examiner, and if it is consistent, the grade will be directly determined. Because there are actually standards to follow, such as knowledge, vocabulary, etc., it is not difficult to judge the difference between good and bad. So in the case of seventy percent, the result of the initial examination and the re-examination is the same. The remaining thirty percent of the examination papers, whether the preliminary examination or the re-examination should prevail, the two well-known university scholars are clear at a glance.

It only took a little more than a day. The two of them finished all the papers. There's one final job left...... Ten copies of the twenty-five first- and second-class volumes were selected and presented to the emperor for the final approval of the officials.

There is also a question, is the volume that the official family has read is not among the twenty-five volumes? If it is not submitted in the end, the official family will definitely be displeased.

This is difficult for Song Qi and Liu Chang, neither of them has seen what that volume looks like, how can they pick out the more than 300 volumes?

But the candidate's name, both of them know, is the famous Chen Ke and Chen Zhongfang. Liu Chang knew that it was a thorn in the side of the prince of Runan. I wish he had fallen to the third class, so I wasn't enthusiastic.

Song Qi insisted on finding out Chen Ke's volume, and he carefully read the text one by one, trying to include all the suspects...... In this year's examination, there are two articles on "The Theory of Punishment and Loyalty", one is written by Meishan Su Shi, and the other is written by Qingshen Chen Ke. These two articles have been widely circulated, and Song Qi has also read them. He knew that the former talked about forgiveness and the latter was governing, and he happened to sing the opposite.

So in Song Qi's view, Su Shi's style must be mild. Chen Ke was sharp and outspoken, so he adhered to this standard and selected some outspoken and daring volumes.

Half a day passed, and Liu Chang said impatiently: "Zijing, you can't be this person." Delay the entire marking. What's more, there are so many talented people in this subject, you and I just need to recommend them impartially. I believe that the officials will not care, whether there is that paper in the top ten. "...,"Hehe, we have determined the officials in detail, although they are called the main examiners, but they are just for the official family, of course, we must focus on the sacred heart." Song Qi said, and ranked a sharp volume in the top ten.

"This is not a 'blunt advice'......" Liu Chang couldn't help muttering: "You are adding to the ...... of the official family"

Song Qi insisted on his opinion, and finally selected the top ten good papers that the official family 'liked'.

At dawn the next day, the official family was promoted to the Chongzheng Palace, and the examiners were divided into left and right shifts, and the guards of the Imperial City Division carried all the examination papers to the palace. Song Qi presented the selected very good papers. At this time, all the volumes, including these ten good volumes, were not opened, and no one knew which one was made by whom.

Hu Yandui took the tray and presented it to the imperial court, and the official family will read the top ten test papers in detail, and finally determine the ranking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looking at the ten test papers stacked on top of each other in the yellow silk tray, Zhao Zhen's mood was a little excited. Although this is the tenth time that the official family has read the papers, Zhao Zhen always feels very honored to think that generations of famous ministers have stepped into their careers from under their own hands, started their glorious lives, and created an unprecedentedly prosperous Great Song Dynasty.

Calming down, he scooped up the top test paper...... The order of the examination papers is the initial ranking of the examiners, but the ranking of the palace examination must be determined by the king, >

The mystery of the disaster is exhausted? p>

Under normal circumstances, the official family recognizes the ranking drawn up by the marking officer, and only makes individual changes, and then opens the seal after deciding the ranking, but it is possible to change the ranking after unpacking, mainly to change the candidate for the champion. The emperor has this privilege from the whole

A final adjustment is being considered, but this is rare.

Unfolding this champion volume drawn up by the examiner, Zhao Zhen first looked at the poem, and then turned to the most important "Civil Prison Fu". I saw that the question of this exam paper was: 'The heavenly prison is not far away, and the people's will can be known.' The emperor was in a bad mood all of a sudden, and the nonsense on the side couldn't help but stick out his tongue, saying in his heart that he had violated the taboo of the official family.

Seeing this scene, Song Qideng's hands and feet were cold, and it seemed that this time's sycophants were slapped on the horse's legs.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhen put this volume aside, scooped up the next one, opened it and saw that it was still that sharp text, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly. Look at another one, still. Holding back his anger and flipping through a few more books, all of them were bird-like, Zhao Zhen finally couldn't help but say: "Are the undergraduate papers all in this kind of official tone?" ”

That's why Zhao Zhen doesn't like these articles...... In this year, for the sake of establishing the prince, he was made to death by all kinds of advice, bitter advice, sarcasm, and death advice, so that when he saw this kind of righteous and righteous article, his head was big.

The two detailed officials hurriedly stepped forward to ask for guilt, and Song Qi explained: "Weichen thinks that these articles are talented and sharp, and they are the new blood that the imperial court is in short supply. ”

"Does Liu Aiqing think the same way?" Zhao Zhen looked at Liu Changdao.

Wechen did have a different opinion. This is not a straightforward and extremely admonishing department, but a jinshi department that selects future Zaisuke. At this time, saving the scene is the first, as for whether Song Qi's face will be too ugly, it is not Liu Chang's concern: "Weichen secretly thinks that it should be peaceful in the text." As for these exaggerated examination papers, no matter how talented they are, they should not be given a prominent name. After a pause, he gave his reason and said: "How much do these young people who have not entered the official career know about internal and external affairs? Just rhetoric and criticism of the monarch and the country's politics, this trend is really not suitable to help the rise. ”

"Then, why do you agree with the order of the Song Qing family?" Zhao Zhen's face softened a little.

"Weichen respects Song Shilang and thinks that this sort is okay." Liu Chang said: "However, when Weichen was reading the papers, he also picked a few brilliant and atmospheric articles, ranking after the tenth. ”

"Bring it in." Zhao Zhen beckoned, and Liu Chang presented a few copies of the volume he liked to the front of the palace. ..., Zhao Zhen scooped up the top copy and directly found "The Civil Supervisor Fu", and saw that the opening topic was 'Yun Qi Yuan Sheng, Tian Lin Zhao.'

The people, the superintendent acts as a warning, and the people of Nass are pure. His face softened completely. When he read 'Yunqi Yuan Sheng', he sighed with emotion and said, "This is called Taizu." When I read 'Tianlin Zhaomin', I sighed and said: "This is called Taizong." ”

Reading 'Prison acts as a warning', sigh and say: 'This is the first emperor.' To read 'Nasmin is pure', but to give it up

He said: "How dare you be skinned!" After speaking, he clapped his head and said: "Although this endowment is not relevant, the scale is very large, and it should be the champion." ”

The official family has decreed, what else is there to say about this? So all the examiners saluted in unison and said, "Congratulations to the official family for being truly talented!" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled, looked at a few more copies, and said: "According to the ranking of Liu Qing's family, this volume with the name of '虭' is the first, the number of '磼' is second, and the number of '抶' is third." After all, he was an emperor who was 'up and down', and looked at Song Qi with an embarrassed face and said, "The later rankings are arranged according to Song Qing's family." ”

"Yes." The examiners responded in unison.

So he opened the test paper on the spot. I saw that the first place was Chen Ke from Meizhou, the second place was Zhang Heng from Jianzhou, and the third place was Dou Bian from Caozhou.

At this time, the problem came, I saw that next to the name of the champion Chen Ke, there was a word 'official', which means that there are officials, according to the regulations, there are officials who are not allowed to be champions, in order to show the court's care for the commoners.

can only fall into the list, and the original list eye Zhang Heng is the champion.

After the three tripods, Luo Kai was passed on, followed by Zheng Yong, Zhu Chuping, Lu Huiqing, Jiang Zhiqi, Su Shi, Zeng Gong, Zhang Dian, Zhu Guangting, Zeng Bu, Lin Xi, Shi Yuandao, Wang Shao, Liang Tao, Su Weixian, Su Zhe, Liu Yuanyu, Deng Xuan, Song Duanping, Chen Yu, Jia Kang, Zhang Zai......

Wulang fell into the top three, but look at Cheng Hao, who is in the top three with him, what is there to dislike?

But this is not the final ranking, because there is another interview for the top ten, also called Xiao Chuanlu -
