Chapter 333: 100 shortlisted

This person not only handed in the blank papers, but also did not even belong to the name, which shows that the recklessness of the signature is stronger than him.

"This unknown person will definitely find out after reading the file. It was announced that he was the first from the bottom and the second from the bottom of the reckless. "Emperor Ziwei said. After reading the inferior test papers, the five immortals reviewed the excellent and medium grade test papers one by one.

The sixteen chief bookkeepers often drafted the edicts and manuscripts of the Heavenly Palace, and naturally had certain opinions on the quality of the articles; those who were rated as inferior were either incomprehensible in literature and science, did not match the preface and afterword, or hastily wrote two perfunctory articles. Rated as the best grade, they are all articles that are well-written, have a certain connotation, and are pleasing to read. As for the articles between good and bad, some of them are off-topic, but they can also be perfunctory, and the main bookkeepers are not sure how to write them, so they are placed in the middle level level, and then selected and agreed by the five immortals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are very few good works. Emperor Ziwei sighed.

The other four immortals all felt the same way. Sixteen master books, reviewed until the evening, 800 test papers, all reviewed. There are 600 copies of the inferior ones, only more than 60 copies of the best grades, and more than 100 copies of the medium grade.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's hard work. "Emperor Ziwei said. "You won't be using it tomorrow. We'll do the rest. ”

The master bookkeepers agreed, and they all dispersed. Emperor Ziwei said to the four immortals again: "These candidate articles are kept by me, are you at ease?"

"Don't worry!" said the four immortals in unison.

"Okay, these 600 eliminated articles, I read more than 200 copies today, and the remaining 400 copies, 100 copies per person, take a look at them again in the evening, and learn to pick out one or two excellent works. "Emperor Ziwei said.

The four immortals agreed, each picked up a stack of test papers, and went home.

The next day, the five great immortals of the Tiancao Hall gathered, and Emperor Ziwei asked the four immortals how the inferior test papers looked. There is nothing to be desired in the Four Immortals Qi Dao. Emperor Ziwei took out the test papers to be reviewed and said, "Let's review them one by one today." Who thinks that they can be shortlisted, write a good word, and wait for the final count of how many good words. ”

The four immortals nodded and began to read the papers, until the evening, when the two hundred articles were evaluated. To say that among these five, Emperor Ziwei, Emperor Wenchang, and Wenqu Xingjun have nothing to say, one is Boyi Exam, one is Zhang Yazi, and the other is Bigan, all of whom are world-famous literary talents, 200 test papers, read them at one time, rough review, and there will be no big mistakes. That Mr. Peng Da is even more eloquent, faster than the three of them. It's just that it's too bitter to be too platinum, this old immortal was also a talented man back then, and he has relied on the old and sold the old over the years, and he no longer studies hard;

In the evening, Emperor Ziwei said: "Everyone, I see that everyone has worked hard, counted the articles with many good words, selected one hundred, and reported to the Jade Emperor tomorrow morning." ”

"Emperor, I have something to say. Mr. Peng Da said.

"Sir, please. ”

"There is a test paper here, you have also seen it, the first page of the opening is very well written, first on the side of the quotation, talk about the past and the present, quote the scriptures, and talk about the major events of the Three Realms, but the last three pages are blank paper, so, the main book gave the sentence Zhongping, you have no criticism, only I wrote good words. Mr. Peng Da said.

"There is indeed this article. "Emperor Wenchang said. "I was also strange at the time, the first page of the opening chapter was written quite well, but the second, third, and fourth pages were all blank, and there was no follow-up. ”

"Sir, after you finish speaking, what is going on with this article?" said Emperor Ziwei.

"In my opinion, there are articles in this. Mr. Peng Da said. "You see, if he writes like the beginning, he must have a follow-up article, but there is no word in the end, is he not finished? No, the words and sentences in the front are smooth, indicating that he has revised more than once, which proves that he has finished writing. Why is there a blank sheet of paper at the back? If he were to say that he only wanted to hand in an opening chapter, he would certainly not hand in three blank pages of paper. Hand in three chapters of blank paper, indicating that there should be three more pages of the manuscript. Now I infer that, firstly, this person has not transcribed the three pages of the plaintiff's manuscript, and secondly, he took the wrong manuscript when he submitted the paper, and handed in the three pages of blank paper as a three-page manuscript. Can you see if I'm right or wrong?"

When they heard, they looked at each other. Emperor Ziwei asked, "According to Mr. Ziwei's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

"Uncover the garcinia cambogia paper, check the name, and ask this person for reason. Mr. Peng Da said.

"I don't think so. Wenqu Xingjun said: "There are a few articles that are well written at the beginning, but there is a tiger and snake tail at the back, and they still can't be rated as masterpieces." ”

But this article is different, he has three pages of white paper attached to it, there must be a hidden secret, and he also asks the emperor to judge. Mr. Peng Da said.

"I think so, let's put this article aside for now. Let's count the best works first. "Emperor Ziwei said.

The main book only selected more than 60 excellent articles, and basically all of them were shortlisted for 100. The remaining more than 40 articles should be selected from Zhongping's articles, and the five immortals have all rebelled, so it is enough to single out those who have many good words.

It was only in the middle of the night that a hundred articles were singled out, and Emperor Ziwei said: "This is a hundred shortlisted articles, let's ask the Jade Emperor tomorrow morning to see how many Jinshi to recruit, and then select the top ones." ”

"What should I do with the article I just mentioned?" said Mr. Peng.

"Open it and see who did it. "Emperor Ziwei said.

Mr. Peng Da opened the garcinia cambogia paper, looked at his name, and said, "The multi-eyed ghost king Qin Hui." ”

"This person should not be mentioned again," Emperor Ziwei said: "I heard Emperor Zhenwu say that this person was cruel to Zhongliang and did many evils in his life, and he should have been sent to the eighteenth layer of hell. ”

The four immortals were stunned for a moment, and Mr. Peng Da hurriedly said: "This multi-eyed ghost king, since he can be a wise man, it can be seen that he was wronged at the beginning. Now, he did a good job in the front of the article, and he should ask the reason. ”

"Sir, he is not alone in doing a good job. Eight hundred Magi, I don't care about him, I think forget it. Emperor Ziwei said, seeing that Mr. Peng still had an explanation, Emperor Ziwei waved his hand: "Everyone is tired for a day, go back early, we will have a face tomorrow morning." ”

Emperor Ziwei sorted out the articles on the table, and was the first to leave, returning to his temporary residence to make a pilgrimage to the temple. The four immortals went out together, and Emperor Wenchang said: "The Magi of the Jade Emperor." These Magi should compete fairly and there should be no discrimination. Isn't that right, everybody?"

"That's right!" Wenqu Xingjun said: "Last time, I recruited wise men and selected the three immortal wise men of the Three Realms from the General Immortal Book, and I happened to go to the lower realm to monitor the world's money, and I was never here." This Qin Hui, the wise man who was selected by Brother Zhang, shouldn't there be any stains, right?"

"It's hard for me to talk about this. Emperor Wenchang heard it, Wenqu Xingjun was complaining about him, and when the matter came, he didn't argue with Emperor Ziwei. "Qin Hui, the ghost king, was not originally a wise man named by us, but he recommended himself and came to the Heavenly Palace. With that, he looked at the Tai Bai Xing.

"This ghost king, keep saying that he has been wronged for thousands of years, and he has been pestering me to heaven, and I have no choice, who made him the ghost king of the Four Saints of the underworld. "Tai Bai Xing said.

"I think, it's better for me to present the Jade Emperor tomorrow morning, let's summon this ghost king again, and ask why that article has a beginning and no end. Mr. Peng Da said.

"It's best for Mr. Peng to do this. "Emperor Wenchang said. "I heard that the Jade Emperor originally let you take full authority to handle the Wenchang Heavenly Examination. ”

"When I first arrived in Heaven, I still need your guidance and help. Mr. Peng Da said.

When the four immortals returned to their respective mansions, it was already the middle of the night. Too platinum star tired for more than a day, sleeping. Get up early the next day, think about it, it's better not to ask about the test papers of the multi-eyed ghost king, Mr. Peng Da wants to show the Jade Emperor, and if the Jade Emperor agrees to track it down. After he finished washing, he went to the Tongming Temple.

Emperor Ziwei and the other three immortals were waiting, the five entered the Lingxiao Palace, Wang Shanlingguan reported to the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor ordered the five to meet in the apse.

Emperor Ziwei took the four immortals into the apse. The Jade Emperor is accompanied by Xu Jingyang Zhenren and Tota Li Tianwang to drink tea and watch the birds in the imperial garden.

"Ministers, see Your Majesty. "Emperor Ziwei led the four immortals to give a salute.

"The ministers are exempt. The Jade Emperor turned around and said. "How is the scientific examination of the literary field?"

"Qi Yu Majesty, eight hundred wise men, the test papers are all submitted. The preliminary review has been completed. "Emperor Ziwei said.

"Oh, good, good. The Jade Emperor sat on the golden chair, "Let's hear it, how did they write this An Tiance?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Your Majesty. "Emperor Ziwei said. "Of the eight hundred, only more than two hundred are adequately written. From these 200, we preliminarily selected 100 outstanding works, which can be regarded as shortlisted works. We plan to select 30 scholars in the literary examination, among which the champions, Bangyan, and Tanhua will be evaluated by His Majesty, what does my emperor think?"
