Chapter 314: Deliberation
Chen Jianru has high hopes for his nephew, originally according to his understanding of this year's candidates, with his nephew's talent, there is a chance that he can be among the best, and even win the great honor of three yuan, it is not impossible, but after making a judgment, this makes him worry in his heart.
Among the top ten test papers, there are three extraordinary test papers, and before the list is released, even the examiner is not qualified to open the seal without permission.
The imperial examination system, although it is still difficult to eliminate the existence of black sheep, is actually relatively fair, and it has opened up a bright road for countless poor disciples.
In the beginning, there were not too many problems in the imperial examination, but as time went by, the imperial examination system gradually began to show some fatal drawbacks.
Emperor Taizu found that the so-called imperial examination has become a tool for some people to seek benefits, because there is no relevant sealing system at this time, so when the examiner approves the test paper, he can see the candidate's name, and it is precisely because of this that some examiners will deliberately show mercy to those they are familiar with when marking the papers, and even deliberately give him high scores.
Even this matter has gradually formed an unwritten rule, if you want to be on the list, only talent is not enough, if you don't hand over the examiner, then the examiner will greatly discount your results when grading.
Therefore, in every imperial examination, the examiner is the biggest beneficiary, and he will make a lot of money every time.
In this way, the imperial examination system has completely lost the meaning of using the imperial examination to recruit talents from all over the world, to put it mildly, this practice will make the country continue to lose the pillars of the material, and will eventually lead to the destruction of the country, so Emperor Taizu attaches great importance to this phenomenon, and ordered the relevant personnel to come up with a solution, and later, they thought of a way to obfuscate the names of the candidates. Only after all the papers have been marked will the names on the papers be revealed.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, before each imperial examination, the imperial court will closely monitor these examiners to prevent anyone from fornicating with the examiners and reaching their own ulterior secrets.
Although there are still drawbacks, this has greatly changed the phenomenon of favoritism.
Although Chen Jianru can recognize which one was made by his nephew by virtue of his handwriting, the other two are not weaker than his nephew's test papers, and even one of the points put forward is even more eye-catching.
This incident really made his heart a little bitter, if the Chen family wants to prosper, there must be some talents, so that they can inherit the huge family business of the Chen family and be independent.
It's a pity that his sons are difficult to take on big responsibilities, and only one of them has won the lift, but on top of the exam, he has been repeatedly unsuccessful, and he has taken several subjects in a row, and even the top three have not been examined, and as for the other sons, it is even more unsuccessful.
If the huge Chen family is handed over to them, I am afraid that the Chen family will not be far from decline.
On the contrary, Chen Wenhe, this nephew, at a very young age, showed amazing talent, after stepping into the imperial examination, he passed all the way, first won the small three yuan in a row, and not long ago, he won the top spot in the Chang'an Township Examination in one fell swoop.
According to this posture, Chen Wenhe is very hopeful that he will be able to prosper again, and in this way, the Chen family will be prosperous.
It's just that the current Chen Jianru is only left with a wry smile, and all the decision-making power is on His Majesty.
If this matter was assessed by him, he could still take a risk and push his nephew to the position of Huiyuan, after all, the difference between the three test papers was not very big.
It's a pity that the decision-making power in this matter is not in his hands, and only His Majesty controls the power of life and death.
The old minister was ashamed. Chen Jianru didn't deny it, he just hoped that His Majesty could look at his face and take care of his nephew.
Lin Shiyin said with a smile: "This time in the exam, what are the amazing and glamorous people?"
Chen Jianru hurriedly submitted the top ten test papers, and added: "Your Majesty, these three are the best test papers in our opinion, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look." ”
Lin Shiyin glanced down at it, and directly tore the seal that covered the candidate's name on the ten test papers.
She quickly glanced at it, successfully found Yi An's name, and then quietly looked away.
"These are the three good test papers?" Lin Shiyin looked at the three test papers that Chen Jianru pushed towards her, and couldn't help but flash a smile, because Yi An's name was also among them.
Sure enough, it is worthy of being a destiny star, not only is his cultivation so strong, but even his attainments in reading are extraordinary.
Seeing this, Chen Jianru's heart couldn't help but tighten, the next is an important moment related to Chen Wenhe's fate, although the first place in the examination does not mean that he can win the champion, but generally speaking, His Majesty will also consider it comprehensively when choosing the champion.
Moreover, this is also extremely important for a scholar's resume, and it will also play a crucial role in the future career.
Liu Xiqian followed the direction of the test paper, and also saw the word Yi'an, and it was also the three excellent works they had previously evaluated, according to him, these three test papers have their own merits, but basically they are not far behind.
Doesn't this mean that Yi'an has a great possibility of seizing Huiyuan or even the champion in the future.
Once the other party enters the official career, he is bound to rise to the top, and even reach a height far beyond him.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiqian's face suddenly showed a hint of imperceptible joy, he had previously surrendered his identity and befriended the other party, and he could be regarded as a good fate.
All in all, Yi'an is at the top, and it's already a sure thing.
If you wait for the other party to make friends after high school, it will inevitably seem a little snobbish.
After carefully reading the top ten test papers, Lin Shiyin had a plan in her heart, indeed, as Chen Jianru said, the other test papers are slightly inferior to these three.
As for the three parts that won, although they seem to be equal, but if you look closely, there is also a big gap, and their concepts are also different.
However, none of this will be visible for a while, and it will take some careful consideration.
