More than 1,000 years later, the name of the test paper has been popularized, and the name of the lake system is used in both the school's small examination and the national unified college entrance examination.

Don't underestimate such a small act as just putting the test paper together, it plays a vital role in eliminating exam fraud.

This small system has brought hope to Chinese candidates for more than 1,000 years, and at the same time, it has also blocked the way for officials and candidates who want to cheat for personal gain.

The examiner who marks the paper can see the candidate's name and place of origin, and the evaluation criteria for the two are completely different.

Whether it is interests or favors, no matter what the purpose, the secret collusion between the examiner and the examinee ended with the emergence of the lake name system.

Interestingly, in real history, the person who came up with the method of the lake name system was the Empress Wu in front of her.

A few years later, Empress Wu took power, in order to carry out the scientific examination more fairly and justly, and suppressed the family gate, thus creating the first system of test paper lake names, and setting up layers of supervision, so that candidates can really become officials only by virtue of their ability.

Now, Li Qinzai has advanced the age of the emergence of the lake name system.

Li Qinzai proposed that there is no personal interest in the lake name system, but it is really that today's scientific research is frequent, and its original intention is to curb the power of the family and collect the hearts of the world's poor scholars, but the scientific research has become a cake that is allowed to be divided and enjoyed by the family gatekeepers.

And Li Zhi, who was sitting high on the temple, was still stupidly proud of the implementation of the scientific examination, thinking that he had opened a door to heaven for the children of the poor family, but he did not expect that this door to the sky had been forcibly blocked by the family, and the children of the cold door could not enter at all.

So, the lake name system appeared.

Its function is to unblock this door to heaven and give real hope to the children of the poor family.

"Jing Chu made a list of detailed rules, how to implement the lake name system, how to put an end to all kinds of fraud, how to make favoritism officials and fraudulent candidates have no way out, list them from beginning to end, and I will accept them." Li Zhi waved excitedly.

Li Qinzai thought for a while and said: "In addition to the lake name system, what is more important is the supervision of officials at all levels of the scientific examination, such as marking, each test paper cannot be determined by a single official The results and rankings must be cross-marked between several examiners." ”

"After a test paper has been reviewed by examiner A, it is transferred to examiner B to be read again, and then examiner C...... And so on, so there is another level to eliminate favoritism. ”

Li Zhi and Empress Wu were stunned again, and after a long time, Li Zhi slapped his thigh again, and said excitedly: "Jing Chu is another ingenuity, good!" ”

Empress Wu also smiled: "Jing Chu has a very delicate grasp of people's hearts, it seems that all the fraudulent thoughts in the world have been guessed by you, and then come up with a way to put an end to it in advance, which is very good." ”

Li Qinzai also smiled humbly: "There is no seamless method of fraud in the world, and there is no foolproof method for ministers to eliminate fraud, it is nothing more than attack and defense, and the method of cutting off fraudsters to the greatest extent and making the imperial examination as fair and just as possible is the original intention of the minister." ”

Li Zhi said happily: "Anyway, I agree with the method that Jing Chu advised, I don't know how Jing Chu can stop cheating?" ”

Li Qinzai thought for a while and said, "There is also the dispatch of imperial history, supervising the examiners at the marking site, and ...... His Majesty worked hard for a few days during the marking period, visiting and checking the candidates' test papers at any time, and the Baiqi Division also sent people out to check the character and virtue of the marking officials, whether they were close to the family, and so on. ”

"In short, the election for the country is the top priority, you can't slack off at all, Your Majesty can't be too cumbersome, if you want to restrain the power of the family, some hard work must be paid."

Li Zhi nodded vigorously and said: "Today, when I heard Jing Chu's words, it was like an enlightenment, and it was instantly transparent. ”

"This year's scientific expedition will definitely give me a big surprise, haha!"

Li Qinzai smiled and said: "If these methods are implemented, the family will inevitably rebound, how to appease the family, how to make appropriate compromises to the family, these ministers will not say much, Your Majesty will have a gap in his chest." ”

Li Zhi nodded: "I will deal with it, and the national policy is slowly advanced under the combination of thunder means and Huairou compromise, and today Jingchu has made a great contribution to me." ”

Empress Wu covered her mouth and smiled: "Jing Chu was born in the Ying Mansion, and the Ying Gong has been in the family for three generations, and you can be regarded as a child of the family, and you are also married to the daughter of the family, why do you seem to be hostile to the family." Do you have enough heart to oppose them? ”

Li Qinzai said seriously: "The minister never cares about his background, the minister only knows the fortune of the king, and shares the worries for the king, Your Majesty wants to restrain the family, and the minister will help Your Majesty think of a way to restrain it." ”

"If Your Majesty feels that you need to raise the family one day, the minister still has a way to raise the family, in short, the minister takes His Majesty's likes and dislikes as the standard of action, and follows His Majesty, it is always right."

Li Zhi sighed sincerely: "Jing Chu's words are true, much better than those courtiers who show loyalty at every turn, it is not in vain that I attach great importance to you, and I will entrust Jing Chu with everything in the future, and I will have more confidence in my heart." ”

Li Qinzai said again: "The minister has another request......"

Li Zhi smiled happily: "You say." ”

Li Qinzai thought for a while and said: "Regarding the various arrangements to eliminate fraud in scientific expeditions, please keep it secret from Your Majesty, and don't mention the idea of the ministers to the outside world......

"Why?"

Li Qinzai smiled bitterly: "Because the minister's father-in-law also came to entrust him, the minister can't refuse, but he doesn't want to ruin the scientific research that His Majesty attaches importance to because of favoritism......"

"Today, the minister entered the palace to admonish, mainly because he was forced by human feelings, so he simply thought of a fair way to make the old man die, and at the same time, he couldn't blame the minister's head, and the minister had an explanation for public and private."

Li Zhi and Empress Wu glanced at each other, and then laughed.

"Jing Chu is really ...... What a rare man of sincerity! Li Zhi laughed and said: "Just Chong Jingchu's honesty, your father-in-law's entrustment I will help you with a favoritism, so what's the matter with giving him a few fame, my Datang is not short of this bit of money." ”

Li Qinzai shook his head: "Your Majesty, the rules cannot be broken, otherwise today's minister's words will lose their meaning, the ministers are lazy and idle, if they don't attach the same importance to our Tang Dynasty's scientific research as Your Majesty, why should the ministers be thankless to admonish these words?" ”

"Since Your Majesty is willing to accept the advice of the ministers, then there can be no exceptions, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the hearts of the world's scholars, and the scientific expedition will lose its fairness."

Li Zhi and Empress Wu were in awe, and Li Zhi nodded slowly and said, "Jing Chu's thoughts, I understand. But Jing Chu's heart to serve the country, I can't do things without being close to people. ”

"In addition to the scientific examination, the imperial court also has a system of filial piety and honesty for the family to recommend officials, and I will give you two places for the old man to recommend officials, which does not conflict with the scientific examination. Jing Chu should also have an explanation to his family, otherwise even if the father-in-law doesn't blame, Mrs. Zun is afraid that she won't let you enter the room, haha. ”
