The examination is relatively subjective, there is no standard answer, and if the examiner thinks it is good, it is good, and if it is not good, it is not good. If you are deposed because you don't meet the will of the examiner, the candidate has no place to reason, so the middle school not only depends on strength, but also on luck.

Improving the probability of being admitted by fitting the preferences of the markers is also one of the skills for answering questions in the imperial examination, and it is on the bright side, which is equivalent to exploiting the loopholes of the imperial examination in a bright and bright way. Even if the imperial court knew about it, it couldn't stop it, let alone stop it, so it could only turn a blind eye to it.

In previous years, there were also people who wanted to get close to the examiner's preferences, but most of them were done privately, and most of them were researched on the examiner's preferences, after all, the examiner's power was the greatest. However, it is still the first company to systematically and methodically study the preferences of ordinary graders like Rongfa Bookstore.

The sample answers and question analysis of this set of test questions are all written according to the original answer sheets of Gu Yunji and others, although they did not obtain their consent in advance, but in this era, there is no copyright and reputation rights, and it is unreasonable to want to defend their rights, and they have no way to take the person who compiled the book.

If it was just to imitate their article style, Gu Yunji would not bother to care about it, so it would be good not to take care of it. But it involves the information of the examination questions, and it is spread everywhere, in this case, playing the name of Gu Yunji and others is equivalent to involving them in a case of fraud in the imperial examination that is about to break out.

The stakes are very high, and its fairness should not be questioned, but all acts involving fraud in the imperial examination are punished with particularly heavy sentences, and they will be killed at every turn. If this matter becomes a big problem, it will definitely be strictly investigated, even if nothing is found out in the end, Gu Yunji will inevitably be implicated.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunji swallowed a breath of depression and suppressed his anger and said: "We have nothing to do with this test question book and the Rongfa Bookstore, they use our articles without our consent, and they also promote any information about exam questions." It's about the fairness of the imperial examination, how dare they? Not afraid of accidents? ”

Cheng Yan's face was not very good-looking, and he said in a deep voice: "They only know that I am in the first class to participate in the marking of the papers, but they don't know that I will get married in March, and I will have to take marriage leave at that time, so it is impossible to read the papers." It can be seen that the people behind this don't know the inside story, they are just making it up casually, and this news must be fake. ”

Bai Xingjia said: "This news is ethereal, and there is no basis, and not many people take it seriously, but they just saw that others were buying, so they followed with the psychology of not being willing to lag behind." Thinking that it doesn't cost much, it's a supplementary book anyway, and it doesn't hurt to see it. ”

Gu Yunji frowned and asked Bai Xingjia: "How many people have bought this book, and how many people know this news, do you know?" ”

Bai Xingjia muttered: "At first, I listened to what the people in our Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall said, and they all said that we should keep it secret and try not to spread it outside, so the news is basically only spread in the major imperial examination halls. Last time, I heard people talk about it, saying that five or six hundred copies of this test question collection have been sold at Rongfa Bookstore, and the number of people who want to know about it should be about the same. ”

"Five or six hundred...... That's a lot of people. Gu Yunji's worries deepened in his eyes, "So many people know about it, even if the court and the government don't care, don't Feiyuwei care?" They have always been accustomed to chasing after the wind, how can they not hear it? ”

He exhaled a breath and pondered: "Illusory things, even if the government knows about it, there is no evidence, and there may be no way to manage it." But Flying Fish Guard is everywhere, and the news is reported in every detail, so there is no reason not to tell Your Majesty......"

"Flying Fish Guard commands Qin Quan, please see Your Majesty, please let Gonggong Ning report it."

Outside the emperor's bedroom, Qin Quan was dressed in a flying fish official uniform, arched his hand towards Ning Fuhai, who was guarding the door, and said in a deep voice.

Ning Fuhai showed a polite smile: "Your Majesty has a headache, and you have a terrible headache these days." The imperial doctor said that he wanted to recuperate quietly and reduce his worries, so His Majesty handed over a task to the cabinet to deal with, and the courtiers were not seen during this time, so Lord Qin should please go back. ”

Qin Quan frowned slightly, and asked, "Although Your Majesty's head wind has flare-ups from time to time in recent years, I haven't heard of a headache that I can't see a courtier, why is it suddenly so serious?" ”

Ning Fuhai said: "Your Majesty was infected with a wind chill two days ago, which just caused a head wind, and the pain was so upset. Not only did Your Majesty not see the courtiers, but even the Early Dynasty and the Shuowang Dynasty meetings were suspended, and it was really not against you alone. Lord Qin, let's go back first, and when Your Majesty's head improves, I will explain to him that you have been here. ”

Qin Quan's pestle did not move in place, still had no intention of leaving, and insisted: "The key is that I am a matter of urgency, and I can't delay it, I have to meet Your Majesty as soon as possible, and I also ask my father-in-law to be accommodating and inform me for me." ”

Ning Fuhai said: "Since it is an important matter, then let me ask Lord Qin, but there has been a flood and drought in a certain place, and there is a major disaster, so you need to ask Your Majesty to come forward to preside over the overall situation and immediately formulate a disaster relief charter?" ”

Qin Quan took a deep breath and said, "No." ”

"Or is there a traitor plotting rebellion, intending to rebel?"

“…… Neither is it. ”

"Or is it the Tatars who come to attack, and the border passes back with an urgent military situation?"

"Neither."

"Since it's neither, then I can't make an exception for adults." Ning Fuhai was unmoved, and made a gesture of invitation to him, "Your Majesty just drank the medicine and lay down, Lord Qin should leave early, if the matter is really important, you can discuss it with the cabinet first." ”

Qin Quan still didn't want to leave, and tried to persuade him: "The matter is special, I can't tell the people in the cabinet, so I still ask Gonggong Ning to call His Majesty up, and I will make it clear to him in person." ”

Ning Fuhai looked at him twice, and his eyes sneered: "Lord Qin's words are funny, Your Majesty just fell asleep, and he has a terrible headache, if I go to wake him up, Your Majesty will be furious, who will bear the brunt of the brunt?" Lord Qin is no matter how worried about the affairs of the court, he also has to think about us minions a little, right? ”

Qin Quan was blocked by him, and he couldn't get off the stage, and his face was ugly.

Seeing this, Ning Fuhai softened his tone again: "In this way, Lord Qin will tell me what is important first, and I have an estimate in my heart, so I can go in and report." Did you disturb Your Majesty rashly, and it turned out that what you were about to say was irrelevant, wouldn't it be plain for me to eat and hang? ”

Qin Quan frowned: "How can this work?" I am the commander of the Flying Fish Guard, directly under His Majesty, no outsiders can interfere, and discussing things with the cabinet is already a violation of the rules, how can I tell you? What's more, the matter I want to report involves confidentiality and is very important, even if I dare to say it, you must dare to listen to it! ”

Ning Fuhai's face changed, and he said bluntly: "I don't dare to listen, but I don't dare to disobey His Majesty's holy decree!" Your Majesty said that you don't see the courtiers, but Lord Qin insists on disturbing here, but he doesn't take His Majesty's words seriously? If you don't leave, I'll call the Forbidden Army to 'please' you go!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the two guards on duty at the door stepped forward together, and the spears in their hands slammed heavily on the ground, making a "bang" sound, and the warning could not be more obvious.

Qin Quan couldn't see him, and after snorting coldly, he angrily brushed his sleeves away.
