Meng Xing practiced all night, nourished his spirit, and the next day he was full of food and drink and continued the exam.

With a systematic open-book exam, this subject is not difficult for Meng Xing.

But Meng Xing used the system to scan the questions and found that things were not so simple.

According to the results of the system scan, it can be found that there may be more than a dozen laws and regulations involved in a topic, and many of them are contradictory and conflicting.

After many years of additions and revisions, it is not surprising that some laws and decrees have contradictory.

Therefore, which law and decree to invoke in this question is very important.

In this examination, the seven laws and three regulations can all cite two or more laws as evidence, which will cause deviations in the judgment results.

Torah citation, when citing a recent legal text, but without a description of the cause and effect, is actually difficult to make a "correct" judgment.

According to the general principle, it is natural to use the new instead of the old, and the law comes first, and the law comes second......

Meng Xing didn't dare to be careless, these topics were full of traps.

"The selection of talents by the Ming Law Section is to know the laws and regulations, to be able to resolve doubts, and to be able to review the case and the chapter."

"The law is clear, the order is clear, and I think the verdict is correct."

"Meng Xing is really knowledgeable, and he also pays attention to current affairs and changes in the law."

But how could Zhao Yuanming be afraid of these, he dared to preside over the imperial examination, select talents for the country, and devote himself to the public, if he couldn't stand this ridicule, what kind of public heart could he talk about!

The examiners were speechless for a moment, and many people thought, yes, the answer is basically the same, and the slower one is naturally in second place.

After speaking, he paused, looked around at the people around him, and said:

“……”

Zhao Yuanming had many papers sent from various rooms, all of which were well answered, but so far he had not answered particularly well, which made him very satisfied, and there were some mistakes.

"This person must be strong, upright, and unyielding......

"If you quote Lord Liu's original judgment, it is naturally right, but according to Meng Xing's judgment, it can't be wrong."

Obviously, it's not exactly the same.

Someone pretended to be confused and asked tentatively:

"Hehe, ridiculous!"

“…… What does Lord Huang mean by this? Some examiners were busy asking, while others were smiling:

"A quarter of an hour ago, the examinee's paper was read by the examiner and rated as the best, and it was sent here as soon as possible."

At this time, many candidates have already submitted their papers.

After everyone finished reading it, Zhao Yuanming asked:

"It's a bit overlooked......"

Lord Huang did not smile and said:

After all the examiners analyzed, Lord Huang, who was still unsmiling from the Criminal Department, said:

However, it is also true that Zhao Yuanming does not need to give face to Lord Liu of the Criminal Department, he said that Meng Xing's sentence was good, so naturally he said that he answered it well, and I am afraid that he could not say that he answered this question badly.

“……”

These remarks naturally sparked a quarrel: "Where is wrong in judging a case according to the current law?" Quoting authority in everything, what do you want to do as the presiding judge? ”

"I see!"

"......" Hearing Lord Huang say this, many examiners suddenly realized.

In this subject, Meng Xing has done it relatively quickly, but he still finished handing in the paper in the afternoon.

"If Meng Xing cares about current affairs, he should not misremember the verdict, and the 83 articles of the Criminal Law cited by Meng Xing don't seem right, right?"

"That's a weird answer." One of the examiners frowned: "I have the impression that this case is last year's murder case, this case was presided over by Lord Liu of the Criminal Department, and it was a sensation, but I remember that the verdict was not the same as what Meng Xing wrote." ”

As he was talking, an examiner hurriedly sent a paper:

Everyone immediately looked at each other: Meng Xing's scroll has become a reference answer?

Meng Xing quoted the law, but generally answered the questions according to his own subjective judgment.

Zhao Yuanming asked with a smile: "Meng Xing is also a disciple of the non-family family, it is extremely difficult for Keming Law to be studied today, and you also have expectations for him?" ”

"Meng Xing's answer to this question is not wrong."

At first glance, the verdict is almost the same as Meng Xing's volume.

Lord Huang nodded:

"Could this person be mistaken?"

When Zhao Yuanming heard this, he knew that the backlash was coming.

Of course, he knew that many of these people not only did not have expectations for Meng Xing, but hoped that he would be happy if he did very poorly.

"These two volumes seem to be evenly matched, if you take the ranking, I don't know which volume comes first?"

Zhao Yuanming hurriedly took it, took a quick glance, and exclaimed:

"My lord, this paper is also an excellent answer!"

“…… Standing upright and not avoiding strong resistance, I think Meng Xing's judgment is very good. ”

Zhao Yuanming took it and said casually: "Meng Xing's answer today is not fast. ”

The scientific examination is respected by the Ming Jing Ke, that is, the Jing Yi, which is also an old example, and everyone has always acquiesced that the poor Ming Law scientific examination is not a big deal.

"Yes, Lord Liu of the Criminal Department decided that the verdict was heavy, and it was convincing, but watching Meng Xing's verdict made me doubt and made a judgment."

But this is also the reason why many candidates do not attach great importance to the Ming Law subject.

"There are ready-made cases and ready-made judgments on the subject of this murder case, but this is last year, and one of the laws involved has been added and changed, so the result of the judgment of invoking the old law and the new law will be different."

After Meng Xing finished answering the Ming Law question, someone came to take it away, sent it directly to the examiner's room, and handed it over to Zhao Yuanming.

"Oh, that's the case, but it's slow."

Zhao Yuanming shook his head secretly while collecting the excellent examination papers, the emperor has a new atmosphere when he ascends the throne, everything is new, these candidates who hold old ideas and stick to the rules are afraid that they will suffer a lot this time.

It is a pity that many candidates memorize the laws, most of which are old laws, and it is easy to expose shortcomings in such a truly high-level assessment.

"Meng Xing's answer is not wrong, and what Lord Liu of the Criminal Department sentenced is naturally right."

“…… Let's take a look first. Among the examiners who gathered around, someone said: "This person is already a stable Jinshi, and it doesn't matter how well he does in the Ming Law Examination." ”

The examiners who came around laughed and said, "Come and see Meng Xing first." ”

Zhao Yuanming asked again: "In addition to the question of the life woman, how did Meng Xing answer the other questions?" ”

Many of them were not officials of the Criminal Department, and their duties were not related to the law, so they were less sensitive to the law.

At this time, many examiners looked at the atmosphere of the paper and were very impressed, in fact, they already knew whose paper was the second one:

Zhao Yuanming asked one of the examiners:

However, the questions of the Ming Law Department should be answered in accordance with the law, and the answer is limited, Meng Xing's article is already the standard answer, as far as Lu Yu, the most outstanding disciple of the algorithmist, answers, the answer is the same as Meng Xing, just because the paper is handed in late, it will be second, how can others win?

"How?"

Some examiners shook their heads and said: "I don't think this is appropriate, the judgment is suspicious, and candidates should cite authority, if they make their own opinions, it is not beautiful." ”

"The candidates in this paper are proficient in the law, the judgment is unhindered, and the understanding of the new law is also extremely profound! That's right! ”

If Meng Xing does not do well in the next subjects, even he will be drowned in gossip.

Zhao Yuanming put this volume after Meng Xing's volume, obviously to be ranked second.

Zhao Yuanming did not hesitate and asked, "When was this volume handed in?" ”

"In addition to the law, we must also pay attention to human feelings, and I think the judgment is excellent."

Legalism's recklessness!

Moreover, some of these questions are selected from existing and historical cases, and the results of the judgment are all "ready-made" and can be used as a reference for candidates.

"Yes, this question is tricky, but Meng Xing should have read the new law and noticed the change, so this person's judgment is also different from the original judgment, and he should really be praised."

Everyone was amazed and amazed when they heard him, and hurriedly came to see him.

As soon as the results of the Ming Law Department came out, in fact, it was already a great opening up of the candidates' results, and I am afraid that when the time comes out of the Jinshi list, many people will be shocked!

Many examiners exchanged ears, and many examiners were secretly anxious:

"Hmph, let's take a look."

The examiners asked the examiner Zhao Yuanming, and Zhao Yuanming said:

Everyone looked at Lord Huang, this person was an examiner from the Criminal Department.

Zhao Yuanming spread out Meng Xing's test paper and did not prevent others from coming to see it.

Meng Xingxing's light scroll took the lead, and helped other candidates stabilize the aura of their literary temperament, which was favored by the national fortune, and it was more than enough to promote a jinshi exceptionally, but others would say that he Zhao Yuanming was favoritism.

Zhao Yuanming looked at it for a while, and then spread out Meng Xing's test paper, and at this time, the other examiners noticed it early in the morning and spontaneously gathered around to look at it.

If you want to beat Meng Xing's volume, you must be better than him in terms of answers.

Many officials who wanted to find the wrong place shook their heads secretly when they heard this, and they could only pick the bones in the eggs:

The questions in the Ming Law Course, except for the murder case, are full of pitfalls, and candidates need to be familiar with the latest laws.

"That's a good answer, but are some of the cases being lenient?"

"Hey, no one really has a more comprehensive and stable answer than Meng Xing at the moment, this person remembers the old law exactly right, and the new legal items are also clear, obviously he has put his mind into it, and he has really worked hard."

"Haha, dare to overturn Lord Liu's verdict, this person is bold enough."

Everyone's hearts said, what they said was the same as what they didn't say.

Zhao Yuanming said strangely: "...... Have you finished reading the scroll? ”

In this way, this person is the first in the Ming Law Department?

"What's going on? Can't the volumes of the Legalist disciples compare? ”

"Lord Huang, what do you think of Meng Xing's answer to this question?"

And the examination papers of this subject have gradually been gathered, and the examiners have actually been shocked, at present, the examination papers of Meng Xing's subject still firmly occupy the first position on Zhao Yuanming's desk, which shows that in the mind of the examiner, he is still the first!

In the follow-up Ming Law Department test papers, the answer to the judgment of the murder case is naturally different, and many candidates still cite the judgment of Lord Liu of the Criminal Department, and most of them are similar to the judgment of Lord Liu, like Meng Xing, and there are very few who make different judgments.

However, Meng Xing is not completely "reading from the book", the Ming Law Section selects talents, requires them to be familiar with laws and regulations, and at the same time can judge the case and sentence the prison, if Meng Xing is the presiding judge, will he completely follow the judgment of the original presiding judge?
