Saying that, Zhao Ruxi got up again and saluted: "So Ruxi is here to ask for her mother's guilt." ”

Although the eldest princess of Shangde is Zhao Ruxi's mountain chief, she doesn't have much contact with Zhao Ruxi because she doesn't care about anything. It was only because of apprenticeship, annual examinations, newspapers and other reasons that she had met Zhao Ruxi a few times, and she only praised and encouraged her a few words when she met, and she did not have a particularly in-depth understanding.

At this time, she knew the whole leopard, Zhao Ruxi only said a few words, and she knew that this Zhiwei girl really deserved her reputation.

What she said was exactly what she thought.

She is the eldest princess, and she is over forty years old, so it is normal to think about problems thoroughly. But Zhao Ruxi, a fourteen or five-year-old girl, grew up in the countryside and market, which is rare.

It can only be said that this kid is too smart and too transparent.

The smile on the eldest princess Shangde's face became more and more kind: "Don't say that. Your mother is just asking her own questions and trying to get justice for you. A heart that loves a woman, what is the crime? Not only your mother, but also me, I also need to protect my students, and I can't watch my students being treated unfairly, right? Otherwise, I would be the head of this mountain in vain. ”

Mrs. Cui sold favors for the eldest princess of Shangde at the right time: "Zhiwei, when you came, the eldest princess was planning to enter the palace to seek justice for you." ”

Zhao Ruxi heard that she wanted to stand up again, but was motioned by Princess Shangde to Mama Yin to press her back.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your maintenance, but it really doesn't have to be this way." Zhao Ruxi looked at the eldest princess of Shangde, her face full of sincerity.

"Whether the capital Fu Yin really thinks that my articles are not enough to be in the top six, or he wants to suppress me, I don't feel wronged. The imperial examination is to select talents for the imperial court. The talents, lifters, and scholars who have been admitted layer by layer will serve the imperial court and the people of the Great Jin Dynasty all their lives. And we women, looking at the past few decades, even if they were admitted to the people and jinshi, how many people can serve the court and the people like men? ”

"From this point of view, even if Lord Fu Yin thinks that my essay is better than other people's articles, but he abandons me and takes male candidates, it cannot be said that he has selfish intentions. When the courtiers found out, they had to praise him for having a sense of the overall situation and not being afraid of the powerful. He dared to do this, and he had his own reasons. ”

The eldest princess of Shangde was stunned, glanced at Mrs. Cui, and immediately smiled bitterly.

She was wrong. She was boasting about it just now, but in fact, a little girl has not seen it thoroughly.

Isn't the "powerful" of "not afraid of the powerful" that Zhao Ruxi just said is her?

Jingcheng Mansion Yin dug a pit and waited for her to jump in.

The name of this governor in the capital is Zhang Li, and he was only transferred to this official position last year.

The capital city is an extremely difficult position to sit in. There are too many powerful people in the capital. Whoever is more powerful than him can dictate to him.

I think many powerful people are staring at him to see if he can stand. If you can't stand it, you may reach out to the imperial examination in the future, and get a show for your juniors. After all, the county test is different from the township test and the meeting test, it is very easy to operate, and it only needs to be forced or bought off.

Not only the imperial examination, but also other matters.

wanted to set up this pit for Zhang Li, not against her, but to set an example for her.

He is telling everyone that the imperial examination is an extremely serious matter, and if he dares to criticize the imperial examination in his jurisdiction, no matter who comes, he will have to cut off a finger. And she, the eldest princess of Shangde, is the best target of demonstration.

Other powerful people are backed by big families, but her backer can only be the emperor. And it is impossible for the emperor to support his sister to interfere in the imperial examination. At that time, no matter what the reason is, he will inevitably reprimand her and praise the capital governor Yin for daring to adhere to principles, so as to serve as a wake-up call to the courtiers.

So Zhang Li's goal of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger was achieved.

Thinking of this, the eldest princess shook her head and sighed with emotion: "I almost did something stupid. ”

"Your Highness, this is because you want to protect me, so you don't think about it so much." Zhao Ruxi said.

Seeing that Zhao Ruxi persuaded the eldest princess of Shangde, Mrs. Cui was relieved, but what followed was a strong unwillingness.

She has been fighting for women's rights all her life, and always hopes that women will not be inferior to men. She advised her students to take the imperial examination, and that's it.

But if they are defeated in the rules at the beginning, do they still need to work hard?

Especially Zhao Ruxi, who has been her most optimistic student for so many years, has a good memory, strong understanding, and writes articles with imagination, which can often make people shine. If such a student still has no future, she may never persuade students to participate in the imperial examination in the future.

She knew that she shouldn't interject at this time, but she endured it and endured it, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Are we always being suppressed like this?" ”

"Of course not." Zhao Ruxi said, "The county examination is not a vague name or a transcription, and the ranking is all determined by the preferences of the yamen chief." Later exams will be stricter. At that time, no one knows whose exam papers it is, and naturally there is no way to determine the ranking based on gender......"

Mrs. Cui thought about it and became excited, not caring that Zhao Ruxi's words were not finished, so she interrupted her and said, "Yes, yes, I was confused." ”

If you are selected after the county and government examinations, you will be a child. These two examinations are also collectively known as the Child's Examination.

However, the child is only qualified to participate in the college examination, and there is neither the privilege of seeing officials nor kneeling, nor the qualification for tax reduction, so the form of the examination is not very strict, and only the number of students admitted each year is stipulated.

But from the beginning of the college test, the exam became strict. After the exam, the name of the test paper must be pasted, and after the name is pasted, the transcriptionist must be asked to copy it. By the time these papers were presented to the marker, it was no longer known which paper was whose paper.

There is not one, but five. The five of them take turns grading a test paper, and if they approve the test paper, they will draw a circle on the test paper, and those who particularly appreciate it will also write comments.

At the end of the day, once five circles have been drawn on a test paper, and all of them have written comments, and the comments are full of praise, then this test paper will be taken out, and finally ranked in the top few with several other test papers that also perform in this way. After the first and second names are set, the test papers are handed over to the sergeant who guards the order of the examination room, and the sergeant checks the name and publishes it.

In this way, the collusion of information is eliminated, and the possibility of black-box operation and cheating is greatly eliminated.

If the marking officers unanimously feel that Zhao Ruxi's test paper is the first, then the sergeant will announce it directly, and it will not change because she is a woman.

The eldest princess of Shangde also breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, she became indignant again: "But I was almost put on a table by Zhang Li, and he also suppressed your ranking, I really can't swallow this breath." ”
