Chapter 9 Do what you like
As long as a person corrects the paper, there is a subjective will, whether an essay is good or not, the examiner's impression of the chief officer is extremely important.
If the concept of Jingyi is recognized by the examiner, the matter of the middle lift will be stable, if it is exactly contrary to the concept of the examiner, then the article is not only written in flowers, but also in the papers, and the list.
Meng Xing didn't rush to put down the pen first.
This time, the person who presided over the township test was a senior member sent by the imperial court, and since he came to Nanyang County, he lived in a simple place, avoided all personal contacts, and never participated in any offline activities.
Make an attitude and show that you are a soldier for the country, so as to avoid suspicion.
But well-informed people already know his identity, and can judge his ideas based on his past, articles, and preferences, so as to vote for his favor.
The fact that the imperial court sent this person down actually represents the current wind direction of the imperial court.
A poor disciple like Meng Xing, an ant-like bottom, originally did not have such a news channel, and the imperial examination seemed to be bumping into luck with his head, and the powerful part also had a great element of luck.
Meng Xing's activity in the Zhongyuan Banquet and the Hundred Family Banquet has finally paid off.
After the Hundred Flowers Banquet yesterday, it was different, and the old county guard had secretly sent someone to inform Meng Xing who the chief examiner was.
No matter how much you want, you can't.
The old county guard is just mentioning and investing, not helping his son go ashore, and it is already very good to be able to mention it.
But this news alone is worth a thousand dollars.
The imperial examination is never as simple as reading books and writing articles.
You should also pay attention to current affairs and the trends of the imperial court.
Meng Xing didn't put down his pen in a hurry, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes and pondered, giving people a feeling of falling asleep.
He thought of the origin of the examiner told him by the Nanyang County Shou earlier.
This person is Chen Guozhong's scholar Wu Lin, the word is Yi, a person from Qinghe County.
"System, access all the articles of Chen Guozhong's book, Wu Lin, and Wu Zhongyi."
"Reviewing ......"
Article after article appeared in Meng Xing's mind, as small as Wu Lin's weekday essays, the poems he participated in the party, and as big as all the papers of the three imperial examinations of this person.
Meng Xing glanced at ten lines, focusing on all the written texts and court recitals of Wu Lin in the past three years to understand this person's political views.
It didn't take long for him to get a general idea.
This person is the Qinghe Party, and he advocates "revitalizing the rule of officials, opening up the way of speech, eliminating the accumulated evils of the government and the opposition, and opposing the corruption of the powerful and bending the law." ".
Chen Guoxinjun has been on the throne for three years, once a son of heaven and a courtier, the court has replaced the old and the new, and the Qinghe Party has occupied many seats in the court, which shows that the new monarch is also a newcomer with a new atmosphere.
Meng Xing already knew it in his heart.
Looking at "Ning Wuzi Bang knows the Tao if there is a way, and the state is foolish if there is no way", everyone has different opinions, some think that this is great wisdom and foolishness, and some think that it is wise to protect one's life.
And Meng Xing believes that the state has a way, and there is a way here, which is extremely narrow, only referring to oneself can be valued by the princes and monarchs, and one's own political propositions can be realized by the power of the monarchs.
In the era of the feudal system, the first level was only loyal to the first level, that is, only the generals did not know that there was a king, where did the way of the state come from?
In his previous life, in the late Spring and Autumn Period, it was interesting to note that the Wei State had cultivated a large number of intellectuals and scholars, but many of these scholars defected to the enemy country, and eventually attacked the country that cultivated itself.
The more famous Wei general Wu Qi, a general on the same level as the god of war Bai Qi, left Wei for Chu and in turn hit Wei hard; Shang Ying, leaving Wei for Qin, also attacked Wei in turn.
If a scholar is reused by the monarch, and his thoughts and ideas are recognized by the princes, then this princely state is a state with Tao, is this the Tao?
When the country's politics is chaotic, pretending to be crazy and stupid, avoiding disasters, you can't say it's wrong, but it's definitely not a way, this is no different from ordinary people or villains, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, human nature is just that, not worth boasting about.
If the pattern is too small, it is not enough to be called the Tao, and if there is no need to dedicate oneself to it, it is not enough to be the Tao, it is just a slogan for seeking fame and fortune.
Meng Xing's views actually have many similarities with the political views of the Qinghe Party, but he believes that the rule of man cannot solve the accumulated shortcomings of the imperial court at all, and the so-called "revitalization of the rule of officials, opening up the way of speech, eliminating the accumulated shortcomings of the government and the opposition, and opposing the corruption of the powerful and perverting the law...... is just a cycle of repeated cycles.
Meng Xing prefers to believe in a cold, emotionless system for the redistribution of resources rather than the rule of man.
Meng Xing sometimes thinks that maybe this is the reason why the system chose him, but who created this chat system?
Meng Xing shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, at this time, half a day had passed since he entered the examination room, and the other Xiucai had already drafted several articles.
Since we know Wu Lin's bias and stance, then the article should be based on this point.
Meng Xing's sorting out ideas is not only to revitalize the rule of officials...... He doesn't object to it, although it can't be cured, but the alleviation is good, so it should be regarded as a kind of political opinion?
By this time, Meng Xing had not yet begun to write, and he again checked the articles of other Qinghe party members for a comprehensive review.
This is the same way as his previous pursuit of stability in this kind of examination article.
It wasn't until the evening that Meng Xing opened his eyes and put pen to paper:
"It's easy to cover, but it's hard to ......"
Because the case had been done a long time ago, and then it was sprinkled with enthusiasm, talking about the revitalization of the rule of officials, opening up the way of speech, and quoting a lot of views, arguments, and arguments from Wu Lin, Wu Zhongyi, and members of the Qinghe Party, which were also the test-taking skills for the civil service examination in the previous life.
For a while, the pen went to the dragon and snake, and it was completed in just one hour, and the efficiency was unparalleled.
The volume is neat, there are no typos, and there are no taboos.
Submit the papers!
The curtain officer from the examination room came in response and couldn't help but look at him twice.
There are a lot of show talents who do not hand in the paper until the evening, and there are many who do it at night, but this person sleeps until the afternoon, wakes up and brushes for an hour to hand in the paper immediately, and he is a little crazy.
The outer curtain officer collects the papers, obscures the name and other series of operations, and then sends the examination papers to the inner court, and the inner curtain officer distributes them to the examiners in each room for review.
Most of these examiners in each room are the examiner's henchmen, who review the test papers handed in first, and submit them to the examiner for final evaluation if they think they are good.
At this time, in the examiner's room, the examiner Wu Lin and Wu Zhongyi were closing his eyes and recuperating, he was about forty years old, he was already a Chinese scholar, and he was a member of the imperial court.
Wu Lin knew very well that this was because the new monarch ascended the throne that gave him the opportunity, and the concept of their Qinghe Party was just in line with the taste of the new monarch, and the young monarch intended to work hard to make them have a chance to rise.
However, within the imperial court, the diehards and conservative forces are still deep-rooted, and their Qinghe Party is still shallow and still unable to confront it head-on.
And the triennial scientific expedition is the best time to replenish fresh blood.
A third-grade member like him would not have easily gone down to the county below to preside over the township test, but Nanyang County is different, not to mention the abundance of people in this place, it is still a canal hub, which is a very critical position, if they can get the support of the gentry here, their Qinghe Party can get a great boost.
Therefore, Wu Lin presided over the exam here, and he did not dare to be careless.
He looked at the time, called for the lamp, and then asked:
"Do you have any recommended rolls in each room?"
Wu Lin had already collected some papers at hand, all of which were left in for evaluation.
In fact, at noon, there were many talented candidates who handed in a batch of papers first, and they stayed first.
From the afternoon to the evening, there are the most candidates to hand in the papers, and at this time, the examiners in each room should have a lot of papers in their hands.
Wu Lin lifted his spirits, most of the talents in this section of Nanyang County should be in this batch of papers, and he is not optimistic about the late submission of the papers:
Either they are stupid, or they are too unconfident and too conservative, which is obviously inconsistent with their Qinghe Party philosophy.
Listening to his inquiry, the examiners in each room brought a large number of test papers, all of which were considered good, and spread them on the table for Wu Lin to watch.
Wu Lin just swept it, and he already knew it in his heart.
A third-grade master like him, the national fortune is condensed in large quantities, and it is easy to extract strength from it, and it can be said that with magical powers, he can see scenes that ordinary people can't see.
For example, the light and breath emanating from this batch of test papers, whether it is the luck of this dynasty, this is the first place, if there is a phenomenon of rejection, it means that it is deviant, no matter how good the article is, it will not be taken, and even in the future, this talent will still be monitored, whether there are different intentions, different behaviors, whether it colludes with foreign forces......
And there are also differences with the luck of this dynasty, some are full of sharpness, some are dull, some are agile and jumping, and some are stubborn...... Different ideas fall on paper, and the breath is also different, which is clear at a glance.
Those who are in harmony with their Qinghe Party are not those who are in the twilight.
It's just that although you can roughly distinguish it, you still have to look at it.
Wu Lin read one article first, but he scolded Fang Xuan and talked about loyalty and patriotism, but he said that the foolishness of great wisdom and foolishness was stupid foolishness, and if their Qinghe Party took such a person, it would be against themselves......
If you look at another article, it is a big talk about the way to advance and retreat...... Well? If the monarch has no way to protect himself, then what are you still doing in the imperial examination? What does an official do?
After reading several articles in a row, Wu Lin was not very satisfied, so he pulled the article aside and did not keep it.
In order to show fairness, these articles must be read by several other deputy examiners before they can be finalized.
Although Wu Lin is the chief examiner this time, he has a lot of authority, but he can't cover the sky with one hand, and among the conservative party, there are also representatives who come to participate in the marking of Nanyang County, lest these Nanyang County places be occupied by the Qinghe Party!
Wu Lin was not satisfied with the volumes drawn to the side, and a few of them were kept by one person, and this person also had some volumes at hand, which were also left to be evaluated!
This person is the third product of the imperial court, Liu Haoran, the servant of the temple.
Wu Lin frowned secretly, this horse breeder!
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Wu Lin swept his eyes and saw an exam paper that had just been spread out on the table, and before he could read the content, he first saw the breath on it emerge, first it was thick and heavy, and it was not scattered, it can be seen that the theory has become a set, and it will not appear to be empty and like a castle in the air.
If you look at it again, it has a sharp spirit, but it does not lead to it, and it does not hurt people.
Wu Lin's heart moved, the breath on this article actually caused the aura of national fortune around him to echo, and it was very suitable.
At this time, Liu Haoran, the servant of the temple, also looked at it, and this third-grade official of the imperial court was also well versed in the art of looking at qi, and he also saw the peculiarity of this article, so he hurriedly came to see it.
The other deputy examiners also gathered around.
The crowd saw:
"It's easy to cover, but it's hard to ......"
It is one of Meng Xing's articles.
