Originally, the top ten test papers were corrected by the emperor himself. However, the founding emperor did not know whether he was too lazy, or wanted the heads of the six departments of the three academies to also participate in the drudgery of grading the examination papers, so as not to suffer alone, so he stipulated that the heads of the six departments of the three academies would first review the top ten test papers and then hand them over to him for final approval.

Therefore, although Zhang Changshen, Wu Huaisi, and Qi Xugu also have to participate in the review of the test papers, the task is still very easy, they only need to quickly read the ten test papers, write down comments, and then hand over the rankings they have drawn up to the emperor for review, and then they can go home and sleep.

The remaining more than 100 copies will be reviewed by people drawn from the six departments of the three academies, and then the rankings will be ranked. This ranking is the ranking of the last jinshi and will not be changed.

In order to prevent the test papers from being destroyed and tampered with intentionally or unintentionally on this night, the marking officer could not wait until tomorrow to go to the government to come to correct them, but could only stay up all night and wait for tomorrow to complete the correction before going home to rest.

In order to show seriousness, and in order to ensure fairness and justice, and not to be influenced by others, the marking officer basically does not chat, and tries not to talk if he can.

The top 10 test papers were sent to the heads of the six departments of the three hospitals, and basically one by one was reviewed and then rotated

The first official to get Zhao Ruxi's test paper was Li Hongbin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and when he saw the beautiful words on the test paper, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although his own calligraphy is not exquisite, he has also practiced it in a small way, and it is not bad, and he has basic appreciation ability. How does he think that the words on this test paper are not worse than Qin Zhe's words, and they can even be compared with Master Mingcang's words, and the style is very different. Inside, he prefers the words in front of him.

He couldn't help but move his gaze to the place where the name was written on the test paper, and the words "Zhao Ruxi" were written on it.

He was so surprised that he almost screamed.

This Zhao Ruxi and Zhao Zhiwei know that this woman who is famous for her talent has been in the limelight recently. Even though Li Hongbin was busy with business, he never knew about the gossip in the capital, and he also knew the deeds of Mr. Deadwood.

If Zhao Ruxi is only accomplished in painting, then that's fine. It is not without women who are talented in this area, and the county lord of Qingyang is one of them. Although the ministers of the DPRK and China think that this girl is good, they will not admire it much.

Calligraphy and painting, after all, belong to talents, and have nothing to do with governing the country and politics, and are just a small way for them.

But Zhao Ruxi dared to fight with men in the imperial examination, and he was proud of all the candidates with the results of Xie Yuan and the second place in the examination. The ministers of the DPRK and China, who did not regard her in the past, slowly paid attention to her, and began to look at her, respect her, and put her on the same position as them.

If it was another competition, they might think there was an insider. But the imperial examination is the most fair and just competition, and no one can deny Zhao Ruxi's results. She stood on the same starting line as all the male candidates, and she was successful. This is different from the courage of ordinary women, which is better than all men, and has won the respect of these ministers, who have also studied hard in the cold window and know how difficult the road to the imperial examination is.

Now, seeing the beautiful calligraphy in front of him, as well as the article that was completed in one go, has the potential to swallow mountains and rivers, and is the same as Zhao Zhiwei's landscape painting, Li Hongbin can't help but want to stand up and applaud, and ask everyone to come and appreciate such calligraphy and articles together.

Unfortunately not.

He had to suppress the excitement in his heart and read the article carefully. After reading it, he wanted to shoot the case a few times and applaud loudly.

This article is really well written.

Li Hongbin's father was born in a poor family; In Li Hongbin's generation, he has become the second generation of officials. He himself is now in his fifties, and his son and grandson are also from a family of eunuchs and scholars.

Therefore, he is not in favor of cutting the nobles of the family and completely supporting the poor people; They are also not in favor of allowing the nobles of the family to have too much authority and encroach on the interests of the country and the people. How to balance this is a deep imperial science.

And Zhao Ruxi elaborated on this issue in the article.

Probably because of the scruples and taboos, she used historical examples, cited scriptures, and used a large number of data and historical facts to prove her own views; And her point of view coincides with Li Hongbin.

After reading Zhao Ruxi's three articles, Li Hongbin's heart was surging, and the tip of the pen that drew circles and wrote comments trembled slightly. In his comments, he gave Zhao Ruxi great praise for these three articles.

Wu Huaisi, who was sitting next to him, had already finished reading and commenting on the article in his hand. Seeing that Li Hongbin put the pen on the pen stand, it seemed that he had finished commenting on the article in his hand, so he handed over the article in his hand and wanted to change it with Li Hongbin for review.

Li Hongbin was happy in his heart, took the article he handed over, and handed it over in his hand, and then pretended to read the article, looking at Wu Huaisi with his spare eyes, wanting to see how he reacted when he saw his little sister's article and calligraphy.

As a result, Wu Huaisi looked at the words on it, his eyes were full of amazement, and he was obviously shocked by the calligraphy at the level of a grandmaster. Immediately, he raised his eyes and looked at the place where his name was written, and then he looked stunned, obviously not expecting that this was the word of the little junior sister.

He looked at the article again, then looked at the name, and then turned his head, as if asking Li Hongbin for confirmation.

Li Hongbin is worried that others will say that they are favoritism, especially Wu Huaisi's relationship with Zhao Ruxi. He admires Zhao Ruxi, and he has a good relationship with Wu Huaisi, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for them. He nodded towards Wu Huai Temple, gave a quick thumbs up, and immediately lowered his head to look at the article in his hand, and no longer looked at Wu Huai Temple.

However, after a while, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at Wu Huaisi, and saw Wu Huaisi staring at the test paper for a while, and then he collected his mind and read the article.

Li Hongbin smiled slightly, and also collected his thoughts, and looked at the article.

Although among the people who marked the papers, Wu Huaisi and Kang Yannian had a great relationship with Zhao Ruxi, but there were also those who were related to other candidates and intended to suppress others; Or it is purely prejudiced against Zhao Ruxi, a female candidate

For example, Shen Wenyong, Guanglu Siqing, he is sixty-five years old this year, he has some contradictions with Kang Shilin, and his thinking is very old-fashioned, he is very unaccustomed to Zhao Ruxi, and feels that a woman is not good at teaching her husband and children at home, so she has to come here to show her wisdom and talents, compete for resources with men, and she is very unruly.

If he follows his ideas, he will inevitably give Zhao Ruxi the lowest score, and write a bunch of bad comments to make his old man feel comfortable.
