Chapter 343 Read

After the tribute students have finished the exam, they can completely relax. It is time for the examiners to be busy. Within two days after the exam, they have to review and evaluate all 400 people's papers. The task is so heavy that it is obviously not something the emperor can do alone. In fact, except for Emperor Taizu who once did such a fool, the emperors who were later handed over to the people to organize the review of the papers... At the beginning of the country, they used sacrificial wine, editors and other officials. However, after orthodox, they were not allowed to go with the ruling ministers, and the handles they took were in the cabinet... As for the emperor himself, he was lazy and only looked at the top ten papers recommended. As for our Emperor Jiajing, it was definitely not an exception.

The minister of the examination of this palace examination, also known as the reading officer, is a super luxurious lineup composed of six officials including Zhang Zhi, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the Minister of Rites of the Ministry of Personnel, the Minister of Rites as deputy, as well as the Hanlin Scholars, the Imperial College Priest, the Zuochunfang, the Youchunfang, and the Doctor of Taichang. They rested in the Cabinet for one night and gathered in the Ziguang Pavilion the next day to arrange seats for 400 handsome men...

Before the review of the papers began, as usual, everyone bowed to Confucius first, and made a poisonous oath to the sky, and then returned to a row of long-term cases according to the size of the official rank and sat down.

At this time, the surveillance officer of the paper marking monitor Lu Bing personally took the box to Kaifeng, took out a bundle of the test papers and opened them, and handed them to Zhao Zhenji. Then, Zhao Shangshu, according to the official position of the paper marking officer, distributed them to them in order. After the division is completed, a bundle is obtained until the division is completed.

After each marking officer has collected the paper, he will start to mark the paper. After reading one, he will hand it to the marking officer on the left. Similarly, when the one on the right finishes reading, he will also give the paper to him. This way, the nine marking officers can see the papers of each candidate. This method of marking the papers is called "turning tables", and only the palace examination papers will appear.

At the same time, each examiner must write down his surname on the paper he has read, but does not sign it... Unless there is a person with the same surname, the one with a low official position has to write a name with grievance... After reading, he must also write a good and bad symbol. According to regulations, the good and bad symbols are divided into five levels from high to low: that is, '／', '△', '’│', '’│', 'x’…

Of course, it is normal for each examiner to have different tastes and different evaluations, but the difference cannot be too big. For example, some people draw circles and triangles in this paper, while others draw leverage and crosses. This is definitely not possible. The surveillance officer will ask another minister to review the papers to prevent the examiner from "each having prejudice and having the disadvantages of doing things". Once it is confirmed, he will be punished.

But history has long proved that any system has disadvantages. No matter how carefully designed it is, the same is true for this method of marking the paper... Because of the concerns about being punished, when examiners review the same paper, they will experience the phenomenon of "no circles, no point, no straightness," which means that they only dare to be one level different from the previous one's evaluation, and no matter how many, they will not dare to do so.

Obviously, the chief reviewer's opinion is very important, especially when the test paper is knocked out, which is almost decisive... If he is sentenced to death with a test paper, he will basically be dead.

After the nine test papers are completed, that is, after all the test papers are drawn with nine symbols, the chief test papers will be assigned to the general examination and ranking. Other test papers, especially the second-ranked seats, can also participate in the opinions. However, the first and second-ranked test papers must have eight "circles", and the rest will fall into the third-rank. Then compare the number of circles within each test paper. If the circles are the same, compare the tips, compare points, and so on...

The chief reviewer of this time was Zhang Zhi, the Grand Secretary, but it was not a blessing for silence, because the two second-level students already knew what the first words of his silence were. Even if Zhang Zhi gave silence a circle, the two could give it reasonable. In this way, even if the six people behind him drew circles, he could only gather seven circles at most - and they did this, so after the silence was over, silence should be among the top three and Jinshi.

Moreover, because there are only the top twelve test papers, they will be presented to the emperor for admission, and he will not even have the chance to turn over.

I rushed to hurry up and finally ranked 400 test papers on the night of the 17th, but I couldn't fill in the list, because I had to send it to the emperor to the emperor, and the emperor ordered the three tripods, which are the legendary No. 1 and Tanhua.

After rubbing the sore waist, the tired Zhang Ge Lao whispered: "Taibao, two ministry officials, let's go and meet the saint, Your Majesty is still waiting." The three nodded, and then surrounded Mr. Zhang, who was holding twelve test papers, solemnly passed through the corridor illuminated by the red lanterns and went straight to the Shengshou Palace.

The lights in the Shengshou Palace were brightly lit. Emperor Jiajing was indeed not yet bedtime, waiting to deliver the test papers.

When Chen Hong reported that several adults had arrived, Emperor Jiajing sat upright and said, "Come a basin of cold water, I must wake up." Chen Hong quickly brought cold water in a copper basin, put the towel in and soaked it, and presented it to the emperor with both hands. Emperor Jiajing did not answer and pointed to the basin of water: "Take it over directly."

Chen Hong Xiaoyi said: "Master, the spring water this night is cold and cold, and I am afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Emperor Jiajing smiled and said, "I have achieved my mysterious skills and are not invasive of cold and heat, but are I still afraid of this little spring water?" He really doesn't know the hot and cold. He wears cotton sermon robes with dark red dragon patterns all year round, and never adds clothes and reduces clothes, which saves trouble for the cloak and hat office.

According to the emperor himself, it was because of the result of practicing Taoism and meditation for many years. In fact, it was because of taking Tao Zhongwen's special "Winter Dry and Summer Cold Pill" for many years. All the close ministers around him knew about this, but no one dared to expose it. Instead, flattering and flattering, which made the emperor extremely enjoyable.

So Chen Hong said, "I am afraid that my master will be cooled by the water." He did not really stop him, but was giving Emperor Jiajing a chance to show off and let the emperor enjoy it! This can basically be regarded as the highest level of flattery - the "Snow-Travelless Style". Therefore, those who can get into the Silijian and serve the emperor are all experts with their own skills, and no one can save money.

Sure enough, after showing off his cultivation results, Emperor Jiajing was very happy. He shuddered his face and immediately said with a hundredfold spirit: "Xuan!"

"I'm so proud to invite the Holy One." This is not a court, so there is no need to worship the people. After the four ministers kowtowed, the emperor asked Ping to say, "Get up, these three days are hard enough."

After Xie En stood up, Zhang Zhi said, "Report to Your Majesty..."

Jiajing raised his hand and said, "Chen Hong brought chairs for the adults, then brought the rare black rice porridge cooked behind him, and served a bowl for me and the four adults, as well as the pickles sent by Master Yan Ge. "

Chen Hong responded with a smile and went to the back to work, so the ministers naturally thanked each other again. After finishing the fragrant porridge with pickles, Emperor Jiajing took the teacup and rinsed his mouth, wiped his mouth, and said to his breasts first: "Civilization, this time, the palace examination, what do you feel when you follow the palace examination?"

Lu Bing had already finished eating, and got up and smiled with a blush on his face, "I want to congratulate the emperor and congratulate the emperor. This spring exam is really a great auspicious!"

Although Emperor Jiajing liked "Xiangrui", he had to be clear and true. It was impossible to fool him as a three-year-old child. Then he smiled and said, "Nonsense, why is it related to Xiangrui in an exam?"

"This exam is rare in a thousand years! The auspicious name is 'Kuibi Ninghui'!" Lu Bing said excitedly: "Although the Wei minister is a martial artist, he also knows that since the opening of the Sui and Tang dynasties, there has been no scholar who won six yuan in a row! But now in the dynasty of the Holy Lord, the Three Emperors of the Despise, so the first scholar who won six yuan in a row has arrived in my Ming Dynasty in a thousand years!" As he said that, he kowtowed to the emperor hard and said: "Only Wenkui Xingjun can achieve such achievements, and only the prosperous holy Lord can get the arrival and assistance of the Star Lord!"

After he said this, Emperor Jiajing remembered that there was indeed a guy who had won five yuan in a row in this exam. He was so excited that his bladder was swollen. But he was the Supreme Master of Nine Five and had to remain reserved at any time. He smiled and said, "Before the top scholar was just yelling, six songs, six songs, and he was not afraid of scaring Xiangrui away..."

Lu Bing grinned and said, "Whoever is the top scholar is decided by His Majesty. Can this auspiciousness run away?" Their monarch and ministers were happy about it, and the two lords behind him turned black, especially Li Mo. He could not think of his students as he could fight against him. Why? Why? Why?

Not to mention the question marks on Li Shangshu, Emperor Jiajing began to browse the test papers with great enthusiasm, wanting to find his "auspiciousness", but after searching through the twelve test papers, he couldn't find the article Shen Mo, so he couldn't help but lower his face and said, "What's going on?"

Zhang Zhi was speechless and couldn't speak, Li Mo had to bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, these are the twelve best test papers this time."

"Is there any omission?" Emperor Jiajing asked with a sinister face: "It's still some people who are stubborn and suppress candidates?"
