You don't have to wait too much time for the palace exam, you must complete the marking in the evening of the same day, and the results will be released the next morning.

The place where the examination papers were marked was in the Ministry of Rites, and 20 examiners led by the chief and deputy examiners were to mark the papers at the same time.

The 20 examiners are divided into 10 groups, of which six are the first instance, four are the second instance, two deputy examiners are the third examiner, and the chief examiner Ouyang Xiu is the final examiner.

If a test paper is still scored below the upper middle school after the first and second trials, then the test paper will be eliminated directly and will not enter the third trial.

The two deputy examiners will rank the examination papers above the middle school level and enter the final review.

These papers are then combined with the provincial test results, scored according to the fifth-class standard, and the final ranking of the first list is ranked.

Finally, the list of the first list will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will be responsible for arranging the top 20 scholars and the top three in the Boy Section, and the Son of Heaven will interview them personally.

In the back hall of the Ministry of Rites, 20 marking officers are nervously reviewing the examination papers.

Zhang Xuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, did not go home either, standing on a small building, looking at the brightly lit back hall with his hands in his hands.

Zhang Xuan's heart was quite complicated, he didn't understand why Zhang Yaozuo had to stop Fan Ning in the imperial examination?

A little boy is worthy of such attention from the dignified abbot?

said that it was to combat Fan Zhongyan's arrogance, but Zhang Xuan didn't think that Fan Ning's defeat had anything to do with attacking Fan Zhongyan, not to mention that they were just cousins and grandchildren.

And it is too risky to hit Fan Ning, in order to frame Fan Ning for prostitution before, it also caused Shaoyin of Kaifeng Mansion to be erased by Pang Ji, Zhang Yaozuo wants to repeat his old tricks, is he not afraid that this time he will really anger the Son of Heaven?

Of course, in the end, it was not he Zhang Yaozuo who was unlucky, but the person who did things for Zhang Yaozuo, when Liu Jin, the young man of Kaifeng Mansion, was deposed, he didn't see Zhang Yaozuo come out to say a word for Liu Jin, so he was exiled to Lingnan, how could it be chilling.

This kind of practice of only dying friends and not dying poor Dao really made many people dissatisfied with Zhang Yaozuo, including Zhang Xuan, but it couldn't hinder Zhang Yaozuo's face, Zhang Xuancai made it a little difficult when he passed the provincial examination admission list, which was regarded as giving Zhang Yaozuo an explanation.

At this time, one of his subordinates hurriedly came and whispered two words in Zhang Xuan's ear, Zhang Xuan's brows suddenly twisted together, and his eyes showed a look of boredom.

He just didn't want to see Zhang Yaozuo, so he hid in the Ministry of Rites and didn't leave the palace, but he didn't expect Zhang Yaozuo to chase after the Ministry of Rites.

It really annoyed Zhang Xuan, but he didn't dare to offend this national master, so he had to hold back his dissatisfaction and come to his official room in the outer hall of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly walked into his official room, only to see Zhang Yaozuo sitting coldly in his seat.

Zhang Yaozuo's official position is not high, and his official rank is only five grades, but he relies on his daughter to be a noble concubine, and he is very arrogant, even if he is the prime minister, he does not dare to provoke him.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Why is the national abbot here?" ”

Zhang Yao Zuopi smiled and said: "Zhang Shilang is so busy that he doesn't even go home, so the old man has to come to the door in person!" ”

"These two days are the most critical moments of the palace examination, and as the main official of the Ministry of Rites, I am indeed very busy."

"Humph! And what about what I told you? ”

Zhang Xuan knew that he couldn't get past it, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "That ..... has done his best." ”

"You've done your best?"

Zhang Yaozuo's eyes became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Did you try your best, didn't you send a foreigner to try something else during the audit, that is, your best effort?" ”

"The Ministry of Rites can't interfere with the review of the papers, our only chance is when it is reviewed, the Ministry of Rites has not objected for decades, and I have broken the precedent of the Ministry of Rites for decades for the orders of the abbot, and this is not the best effort?"

"You don't give me this set, the Ministry of Rites wants to clean up a scholar, there are ways, but you don't want to do it."

Zhang Xuan was annoyed in his heart, and he unceremoniously contradicted: "The national lord wants to clean him up, and there is a way, why do you have to embarrass the lower officials?" ”

This is also what Zhang Xuan doesn't like about Zhang Yaozuo the most, since he hates Fanning, he can buy a killer to clean up Fanning, but he doesn't want to take risks himself, but he wants to throw the risk to others, does he really think that others are stupid?

"Really? I've embarrassed you, you were still a religious Langzhong last year, and when you asked me for help for promotion, you didn't think about embarrassing me. ”

Zhang Yaozuo's tone was extremely cold, and he stood up and said, "Forget it, I won't embarrass you, go back and take back the few paintings you sent!" Later, some people said that I took bribes. ”

After speaking, Zhang Yaozuo walked away, and before he reached the door, Zhang Xuan gave in, and the word 'bribery' hit Zhang Xuan's heart hard, and he had a handle in Zhang Yaozuo's hand.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly bowed down and said: "The lower official is confused for a while, please rest assured, I will not disappoint the Guozhang!" ”

Although Zhang Xuan was reluctant, Zhang Yaozuo pinched his neck! He had no choice but to agree.

．．．．．．．

Before dawn, Ouyang Xiu slowly put down his pen, he rubbed his red eyes, and smiled at Shen Kuan and Ma Jing, the deputy chief examiners: "I think this list is okay, you can confirm it again!" ”

After three trials, they screened out 125 test papers that had received a grade of upper middle school or above, and then tore off the paste slips, and combined the results of their provincial examination with the results of the palace examination for the final grade evaluation.

As long as you get the third class or above, you can enter the first list, and Ouyang Xiu finally controlled the number of people on the list at one hundred and eighteen.

Then hand over the list to the Ministry of Rites, which will notify the top 20 and the top 3 in the children's test to prepare for today's interview.

The Ministry of Etiquette is not allowed to change the order of the results without authorization, and if there is any change, it must be approved by the examiner and there must be a good reason.

This process is actually the same as the provincial examination, and the Ministry of Rites still has the right to conduct a qualification review, and they must ensure that there is no negative news about the top students in the examination.

Once the review is not passed, the Ministry of Rites must timely feedback the news to the examiner and the examiner, and come up with conclusive evidence, and then the examiner will reposition the order and provide a new list.

For decades, there has not been a case of failure to pass the temple examination.

As for the ranking of the second list, it will be ranked directly according to the order of the results of the provincial examination, from the highest to the bottom.

Shen Kuan nodded, "I also agree with this list!" ”

"Where's the main exam?" Ouyang Xiu asked Ma Jing again.

Ma Jing smiled: "Xiaguan also supports!" ”

"Alright! Since the three of us have agreed, even if this list is passed, let's hand it over to the Ministry of Rites as soon as possible! ”

Ouyang Xiu took the pen and signed, Shen Kuan and Ma Jing also signed, and after stamping the seal, several copies of the list were put into the sealing cylinder and sealed.

Ma Jing got up to go to sencha, and only Ouyang Xiu and Shen Kuan were left in the room.

Ouyang Xiu handed the sealing cylinder to Shen Kuan and said with a smile: "We are finally over, and the matter of dealing with the Ministry of Rites will be handed over to Brother Shen!" ”

Shen Kuan looked a little worried, and he groaned for a while: "Does Chief Examiner Ouyang still remember the incident when the Ministry of Rites had objections to the audit?" ”

Ouyang Xiu groaned and said, "I asked Bao Zheng to pay attention to Fan Ning afterwards, but so far, nothing abnormal has happened, and as you can see, Fan Ning still got excellent results in the exam." ”

"If the final list is not released, Xia Guan still feels unsafe."

Ouyang Xiu understood what Shen Kuan meant, "You mean that the Ministry of Rites will have a moth next?" Probably not! The Ministry of Rites dares to change our list, which is too bold! ”

"Xia Guan thinks it's better for us to be cautious."

Ouyang Xiu nodded silently, and at this time, there was a sound of a change outside, and it was already five watches.

He smiled and said to Shen Kuan: "Let's hand over the list to the Ministry of Rites according to the normal steps, and then keep an eye on it." ”

．．．．．．．．

Chongwen Hall is the place where the palace secret books are organized, and it is a large royal library, but it is not in the palace, but outside the Xuande Gate, close to the Taichang Temple, and about two miles away from the Xuande Gate, the gate of the Imperial Palace.

Due to the large number of houses in the Chongwen Pavilion, nearly 600 scholars lived here temporarily.

At the fifth watch, the scholars got up one after another, today is the most brilliant day of their lives, after the interview in the morning, the ranking will be announced directly, and everyone can get their own seat.

At noon, they will ride horses and praise the streets, walk around the scenery in the capital, and then return to the imperial city, and then meet the Son of Heaven and receive the blessing of the Son of Heaven.

In the end, they collectively went to Jinmingchi to go to the Qionglin banquet, which brought their life to the climax.

"Fanning, can we go home tomorrow?" Su Liang asked excitedly.

"Are you in a hurry to get home?" Fanning asked vaguely as she rinsed her mouth with salt water.

"The main thing is that Yuanyuan is going back, and I want to go back with her."

"Then you go back first! I have to wait a few days, and my second uncle's shop will open in two days, and I won't be able to leave for a while. ”

"Then I'll go first, by the way, you help me claim the prize, I may not be able to wait for the lottery."

"No problem, if you win the lottery, I'll take your money and invite me to drink directly."

"Whatever you want, as long as you're kind!" Su Liang glared at him angrily.

At this time, an official of the Ministry of Rites walked into the compound, clapped his hands and shouted: "Everyone hurry up and go to breakfast, and set off after breakfast, time is very tight." ”

Everyone was busy for a while, and they didn't need to carry anything today, just put on white court clothes, wear a four-cornered gauze hat, and look neat.

Their task this morning is to be patient.

At the end of the day, five hundred and ninety-six scholars marched into the Xuande Gate and came directly to the Daqing Palace Square.

Six hundred chairs had been set up in the square, and six hundred scholars were seated.

At this time, Pei Qun, a member of the Ministry of Rites, said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet, I will announce the interview list below!" ”

There was a sudden silence in the square.
