When Chen Fusheng watched the duel in Leshan, in the Jincheng Tribute Academy, the review of the township test also came to an end.

If Chen Fusheng was here, he would find that the atmosphere in this tribute courtyard was like a pot of hot water, and it was already boiling time, which obviously meant that the final results of the township examination would surface.

In fact, it is true, after half a month of grading, it can be said that the list of people who should be selected has been determined, and the rest is the order of ranking.

Therefore, in the inner curtain of the Tribute Courtyard, the atmosphere can be said to be both relaxed and tense.

It's easy because most of the work has been completed, and the nervousness is naturally that I hope I can become Xie Yuan's house master.

The chief examiner, Jiang Yuan, sat in the hall, looked at the ten fellow examiners on the left and right, squeezed out a smile, and arched his hand to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the ranking of the rankings, if you have any opinions, you may wish to speak up, but I will first set a tone for everyone, they are all for the country to select talents, opinions can be different, but everyone can't make a fuss." ”

Jiang Yuan is also a person who has been the chief examiner of the township examination two or three times, so he naturally knows that these examiners are all selected from all over the country temporarily, and there is no subordinate relationship between them, so he has no scruples when he speaks. Unless there is really that kind of otherworldly good article, everyone will definitely have their own opinions, from a humble gentleman to an aunt who buys and sells in the vegetable market. So he wants to give everyone a preventive shot in advance.

Fortunately, after so many days of getting along, these temporarily transferred examiners still have some sympathy for each other, and when they heard the words of the examiner, they agreed one after another.

However, this peace was soon disrupted, and this time a full hundred scholars were selected in the township test, and the latter ones were quite easy to say, involving the first few people, it can be said that they each held their own opinions and fought on the basis of reason.

"In my opinion, this article is clear and clear, and it should be the first place. ”

"It's not appropriate, you see that this article in my hand has the style of ancient benevolence, and it is really rare today. ”

"You two are wrong, let's read my article, the structure is rigorous, the thinking is thorough, it is really the best choice. ”

Discussions went on and on, and in the end all the opinions were concentrated on the three answer sheets.

Therefore, the final decision had to be handed over to the examiner, Jiang Yuan.

"Master Jiang, you see, these are the three answers we finally decided, based on the article, it is really difficult to distinguish between the superior, and they all have the strength to be pointed out as Xie Yuan. I can only ask you to make a final review. ”

Jiang Yuan took the three sealed red scrolls, and what caught his eye was the word high recommendation, which was obviously strongly recommended by the examiners.

He naturally read these three sets of answer sheets early, and at this time he quickly flipped through them, and he already had a background in his heart.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you remember what I said when I was looking at the downstairs of Mingyuan with you during the township examination that day?" Jiang Yuan pressed his hand on the answer sheet and opened his mouth to ask.

"Naturally remember. It was not any fellow examiner who said this, but a prison officer standing behind him with his hands in his hands, "I listened to the adult explain the idea that writing an article is like practicing martial arts, and I was very impressed. ”

"Well, this Master Li has a heart. Jiang Yuan nodded in approval and continued to ask, "Then I must still remember the three people I mentioned back then." ”

"Naturally, I remember that Wen Keji, Su Guo and Chen Fusheng are all first-class talents of the younger generation in Shudi. This time, a fellow examiner didn't give Lin Jianlin a chance to speak, and replied first, "What do you mean by ......."

"Yes, different people have different styles of writing, these three answer sheets are clear at a glance, and from the meteorological point of view, it can be seen at a glance that they are faintly consistent with the three of them on the day. There must be no doubt that it is the three of them, and it seems that your lords really have a good eye for talent, and they have not missed these thousands of miles of horses. ”

After a pause at the right time, he coughed lightly, and seeing that everyone's attention was attracted, Jiang Yuan slowly spoke: "I have an unformed idea, since we already know the identities and origins of these three candidates, why don't we just take a look at their original answer sheets, after all, this red scroll is separated by a layer, and it can't be fully expressed." ”

"My lord, I'm afraid this won't work, right?" Although it was a question sentence, it was an out-and-out rhetorical tone, and Lin Hu, the prison officer who spoke just now, couldn't help but speak hard, "Although the lower official is a martial artist, he also knows that the court stipulates that when reading the papers, it can only be used as a transcription of the Zhu scroll, not the original ink scroll. ”

"Don't worry about this," Jiang Yuan waved his hand, not caring at all," The imperial court made this regulation, in order to worry that someone would infer the identity of the candidate from the handwriting, and privately teach and receive, which affected the fairness of the scientific examination, but now that we have all been selected, the difference is only the order of the top three, in all fairness, in fact, the task of selecting talents has ended, and since people have guessed who it is, there is no need to hide it, you can be generous and flexible, after all, the words of the candidates, the candidate's words are also a part of the level of knowledge, as long as we have a clear conscience, these are still no problem. ”

He is the chief examiner, and he has a deep background, and seeing that he has come up with a passable reason, others will naturally not oppose him, not to mention that they are also full of curiosity about these three people.

Seeing that everyone no longer objected, Jiang Yuan removed the seal and revealed the candidate's information, and sure enough, it was Wen Keji, Su Guo, and Chen Fusheng, who were undoubtedly the same, but let everyone call him again, "The adults have good eyesight, far beyond our ability." ”

At this time, someone had already picked out the original ink scrolls of the three people and presented them.

Everyone has decades of article popularity, and there is no lack of vision, these three answer sheets are really different and have a unique atmosphere.

"Lord Jiang, how these three people judge is still looking forward to your guidance. ”

Jiang Yuan couldn't let go of the answer sheet, and slowly spoke: "The article itself is difficult to judge, so the criterion for judging is to see how well the three of them fit the topic." ”

Speaking of this, he shook his hand, "This Su Guo is worthy of being the Su family's heirloom, this hand calligraphy, although it is regular script, but the penmanship is naturally informal, with more calligraphy, and the pen is round and rhyme." The article is also a way to take the road of pride. As for this Wen Keji, the regular script in one hand is the most orthodox and rigorous way, and the essence of the article is the same, this Chen Fusheng is like Zhong Yuanchang, plain and straightforward, natural, and the article is also rational. If it is to point out the articles on weekdays, or to see the future of the three of them, I will sort them according to Su, Chen, and Wen, but this is the imperial court's talent ceremony, not just the school examination article. can only grieve Su Guo, let him come last, and give Xie Yuan to Chen Fusheng. ”
