In the Huagai Palace, Zhu Di sat on the head, Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Leng Aoyu, the bachelor of Hanlin, Chen Ying, the imperial official of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, and Chen Anzhi of the Guozijian all led the subordinates who were outstanding in their own talents and learning, and there were ten articles on the imperial case, which were the articles of the top ten in the undergraduate program.
Lu Shangshu, Bachelor Leng, Chen Buyuan, and his subordinates were all given seats, and the hall was so quiet that even the sound of people rubbing their sleeves between gestures and feet, and the sound of paper sneering when unfolding the test paper could be heard.
Mu Si and a few little eunuchs sent the test papers to the adults one by one, the first one was Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Zhenzai looked at it carefully, tasted it, and then transferred the test paper to the hands of Hanlin Scholar Leng Aoyu, and then took the second test paper and continued to review.
Zhu Di stopped even the morning court today, and gathered these people early in the morning to start reading the scrolls.
The examination is divided into three sessions, each of which lasts for three days, with the first test being four books and three truths, and four ways of the five classics, to test the candidates' familiarity and understanding of Confucian classics.
In the second test, the students were examined to distinguish between right and wrong.
Ability to write various official documents administratively.
The third session examines the scriptures, history, and strategies, and examines the students' knowledge of ancient and modern political affairs.
The examination is a national selection ceremony, and its important surname is to mention the rise and fall of the country.
However, in the actual marking, because of the large number of examples, the mountains and seas of test papers, the time for marking papers is tight, the task is heavy, and the words and sentences must be carefully considered, and there is no room for sloppiness, and God cannot complete all the marking work with quality and quantity, so the routine examiners have formed an unwritten rule: the marking only focuses on the first seven articles and eight strands.
Why only eight strands because this is a very strict format of the style, for the examiner, it is easier to grasp its right and wrong, greatly improve the speed of marking, easy to judge the suitability of the test papers, so that all the test papers can be reviewed as scheduled, the subjective factors of the examiner to a minimum, so as to ensure the official selection of the examination of the serious surname and fair surname.
Therefore, although its rigid procedures and rigid constraints are criticized, it is indeed that candidates can only follow the trend and dare not take half a step beyond leisure.
However, it is precisely because it has strict regulations on the beginning, inheritance, transfer, and combination, and even has strict regulations on the number of words and sentences, which can minimize the subjective factors of the examiner, so as to ensure the rights and interests of the candidates to the greatest extent, so that the truly outstanding ones can obtain fame.
Those who are outstanding in learning, few of them can't even do well in the most important eight-strand articles of this scientific examination, and you have to insist on how good his other aspects of learning are, which is really limited.
In the era of the official standard, if the examiner's marking standards are too free, there is a lot of room for cheating, so Bagu is a relatively standardized examination in that era, and it is the most objective and fair way to take talents at that time.
However, the degree of its standardization is still limited after all, if it is not for the articles that are too different from each other, who is good and who is bad, the examiners are different, and the appreciation angles are different, so it is natural to draw different conclusions, and Lu Zhen is just doing things from this aspect.
When everyone had finished reading the test paper and needed them to make comments, Lu Zhen, Leng Aoyu, and Chen Ying whispered with their subordinates, exchanged opinions, and then gave in to each other, and finally Lu Zhen made comments first.
Lu Zhen said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister has carefully read the test papers, and the papers selected by the scholars are indeed masterpieces from the four aspects of reason, law, rhetoric, and qi.
The three articles are very good for mastering the scriptures and understanding Cheng Zhu's annotations, and the structure of the articles, the students' writing ability, and the interpretation of the literary heart.
However, " Zhu Di opened his eyes and asked, "But what?"
Lu Zhen said: "However, the article of You Tingguang, the seventh place in the minister's view, is halal and elegant, full of emotion, vivid writing, and stable work.
Although it is not as gorgeous as the first, second, and third candidates in the Bachelor's Degree, it has been passed on by the purpose, and the literature and science are sufficient, which makes the minister very much appreciated.
If the minister is the main exam, this person should be the first.
In addition, the ninth place is Chang Hui, whose text " Lu Zhen said tactfully, but in the end, he rejected all the first and second places taken by Xie Jin, ranking You Tingguang as the champion and Chang Hui as the leader, and only the third Tanhua did not move.
Zhu Di frowned, and said in a deep voice: "In other words, it is not fair to take the scholars."
Lu Zhen is such a slippery and old person, how can he directly come out to fight with Xie Jin, and said busily: "This, the minister dare not decide."
It is normal for the examiner to have different likes and dislikes, and to have some emphasis on the marking. ” Zhu Di snorted, and turned his gaze to Hanlin Bachelor Leng Aoyu, this Leng scholar had been humiliated in public when Xie Jin's poetry was opposed, he was a noble loose official, and Xie Jin rarely dealt with him, but he was not afraid of Xie Jin's power, and he was talking endlessly, and criticized the articles selected by Xie Jin.
He didn't say whose article was good, only that Xie Jinxuan's article was not good, and that as long as he wanted to find fault with that article, he could find it.
Zhu Di's face turned a little dark, and then asked Chen Ying for his opinion, but Chen Ying did not directly attack Xie Jin, but instead said good things for Xie Jin.
When the time is tight and the amount of marking is large, it is inevitable that there will be negligence; In the end, he only pointed out two small mistakes with a little regret, such as the lack of grace in the handwriting of the champion scroll selected by Xie Jin, and a small ink blot on the scroll with his eyes, which made Zhu Di's heart even more blocked.
The last turn to be Chen Anzhi of the Guozijian, Old Master Chen is more idle than the Leng scholar of Hanlin Academy, and he is not afraid of how Xie Jin will retaliate against him if he does not fall, so he rolled up his arms and sleeves and went into battle shirtless, and said eloquently: "The title of this article that was taken as the champion by Xie Bachelor is vague, the question is low, and the question is depressed.
On the other hand, the article taken at the end of the top ten list of Zhejiang is very clever than the article taken by Bachelor Xie.
Your Majesty, please see, this article is divided into eight strands, like a chain of chains, and the bones are intertwined.
There is no need to transfer in a single sentence, and the bureau is the most old.
After the middle strand is picked up, there is a wonder of breaking the thread.
Each strand is swaying.
The real meaning is interpreted in the stock, and the words are clear and detailed.
At first glance, it looks unremarkable, but the careful thinking of the case is amazing.
The road to the essence is fine, and the road to the road is extremely clear, and the words taken by the sages can be used on behalf of the sages to reflect on the articles taken by the scholars."
Chen Anzhi pursed his mouth and said disdainfully: "Your Majesty, please take a look, this strategy of the scholar Xie selected the champion talent, the minister only took a cursory look, and found two typos in the text, and there is a sentence that does not make sense, and then take a closer look, it is actually whether the bachelor Xie who has never read it is selfish, the minister does not dare to assert, but the scholar Xie is a scholar for the imperial court, and he is sloppy and slack, which can be seen from this" As I said earlier, at that time, because of the large number of exams, the large number of test papers, and the time to unveil the results was urgent, there was no time to read all the papers of the candidates, so the examiner only weighed eight shares, but according to the rules, all the articles should be carefully reviewed and reviewed.
Others act according to the unspoken rules, and it naturally doesn't hurt if nothing happens, but if Xie Jin makes a mistake at the moment, then he will find out what is wrong.
There were no punctuation marks in ancient China, but in order to pause, break sentences, and facilitate understanding and reading, readers gradually invented symbols similar to modern broken marks and full stops.
Now that Chen Anzhi has brought it up, it is an undeniable question, and whether Xie Jin is doing his best for the imperial court has naturally become a big problem.
Zhu Di said with a cold face: "Today, I only asked Zhongqing to read the top ten volumes, and he came to this kind of conclusion, among the people who ranked last or even fell off the list, there are no virtuous and talented students from a small Mengtong, studying hard in the cold window, eliminating layer by layer, and it will take decades for those who can be admitted to the Jinshi."
For decades, a milky doll can only learn and succeed when he is old, or even longer, and the court will not cherish it."

He slapped the imperial case and said in a deep voice: "Decree, all the test papers of the undergraduate list will be invalidated, and the Ministry of Rites will re-evaluate it with the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian, and then publish it on the list."
All the ministers in the palace stood up one after another, bowed down together and said, "The minister's decree" Mu Si, the inner servant, whisked the dust, slowly walked out of the Huagai Palace, glanced left and right, beckoned a little eunuch, and commanded in a low voice: "Go to the East Factory quickly, tell the godfather, the scholar is finished" The emperor overturned the original list and ordered the test papers to be re-examined, which naturally proved that Xie Jin was unfair, and since it was unfair, he would naturally be severely punished, such a simple truth, how could Mu Si still not understand In the Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Jin was uneasy, in the Huagai Palace, the emperor was convening the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the Hanlin Academy, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Guozijian to discuss the matter, there was no need to ask, the matter discussed must also be related to the accusations of the princes, Xie Jin had the heart to inquire about the movement over there, but at the moment he really should not make a move.
His in-law Hu Guang originally pleaded him to compete for the examiner, but now he stabbed the big basket, Hu Guang felt ashamed, he didn't even show his face, and several other cabinet scholars also looked weird when they saw him, a little bit of a feeling of avoiding the plague, so that Xie Jin didn't dare to go for a walk under the corridor, for fear of bumping into colleagues, and everyone was uncomfortable.
He regretted it, he really regretted it, he thought about why he didn't listen to the admonition of Fu Guogong at the beginning, the lard was blindfolded, and he went to fight for the main examination Seeing that this Yongle canon is about to be compiled, I am afraid that I will not be able to regain the holy grace Now a group of villains have fallen into the ground, how should this be good" The more Xie Jin thought about it, the more anxious he became, and at this moment, a little eunuch walked in with a stack of concertos.
The East Palace handed over the chapter to him, and it has always been the responsibility of Yang Shiqi, the left of the East Palace, but now he has changed to a little eunuch Xie Jin asked in surprise, and the little eunuch said: "The prince asked the slave and maid to send the chapter over, and the slave and maid just obeyed the order, and the slave and maid didn't know what the pavilion elder asked." ” Xie Jin's heart suddenly sank.
