Chapter 89 Who is responsible (1)

The Hanlin Academy, the examiners who participated in this scientific examination, sat with a pale face, and the huge hall was silent.

Just as the results were released yesterday, the failed candidates in the capital started to make a fuss. Then, before they could react, the emperor's sage will arrive.

It is said that since this scientific examination is difficult to convince the public and it is indeed contrary to common sense and difficult to explain, I will review the papers and approve the admissions again as appropriate.

For these Hanlin Academy's reviewers, whether it was the complaints from the scholars or the clamoring of injustice, or the imperial edict, they slapped them hard in the face like a slap.

The emperor's sage is more like helping the scholars speak, rather than maintaining the dignity of their examiners. Moreover, the emphasis on reading the test papers will ruin their reputation. In any case, they may not be able to get rid of the word "cat".

"What's this?" Zhang Xin, a Hanlin lecturer, suddenly spoke, "After a failure, he will review it again? Why don't he retake the exam?"

"Stop!" Liu Sanwu immediately scolded, "Are you asking whom?"

Zhang Xin quickly stood up and saluted, "The emperor dare not!"

Liu Sanwu looked at him, his face as if cold.

During this scientific expedition, he, the leader of the World Scholars, really made a mess.

As soon as he rested last night, the butler said that someone had poured a few buckets of manure at the gate of his house in the middle of the night, and wrote a few words "Liu Sanwu is a thief" on the wall of the yard with manure!

At this moment, his heart seemed to be blocked with a stone, which made him breathless. He looked around and spoke slowly, "Since the emperor has a sacred edict, we will review the papers again. Everyone, what are your regulations!"

The Hanlin attendant Dai Yi spoke among the crowd, "Sir Liu, this scientific examination has caused a lot of controversy, which is the first time in the country. If it cannot be properly handled, I am afraid that you and I will not escape the blame!"

There are also people in the Hanlin Academy who understand people. When the Hanlin Academy was still angry in public, they felt that the scholars were making trouble, making them lose face. The emperor issued an order but did not trust them.

He Dai Yi had already seen what was behind this sage.

The emperor's sage edict gave the Hanlin Academy a lot of face. If it were the Supreme Emperor, he would definitely not say that. Re-read it? I am afraid that the Supreme Emperor would not arrest anyone and be imprisoned, and it would be a great blessing.

Since the emperor has given face to the Hanlin Academy, the Hanlin Academy now has to think about how to save face to the emperor.

"What can't escape the blame?"

But some people don’t think so. Wang Junhua, editor of the Hanlin Academy and editor of the "Yuan History" school team, said, “We are not wrong! Some of them are compulsory and fraud? Are some corruption and abuse of power? Are some are privately leaking the problem? Are there no?"

"The people I have taken are the most outstanding people in the article and knowledge among these candidates. We are doing it impartially. If you can learn it, it is okay or not, and you can't do it at all!"

"Oh, just because the people who chose southerners were all the people in the north didn't win, they started to make trouble. Let me wait for the re-examination of the papers? Then what should I do? It's okay if I wait, what should I do if those scholars who have already made the title of the gold list?"

His words immediately caused many people to nod.

"Is it possible that the papers are reviewed again to get the selected ones up, and the unselected ones are raised. In this case, it would be better not to take the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty!" Yan Shuzai, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, also spoke, "Besides, if this is the case, will the scholars not follow him in the future?"

"Everything is wrong. As long as you fail, you will question it, say there is something tricky, and say the examiner is unfair. Then the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty, how can you talk about majesty and justice!"

Suddenly, Dai Yi looked at the two of them talking and was a little stunned.

"Are you two really stupid or stubborn?" he said to himself, "The emperor has said this, just let us say in our ears, give some quota in the north. Are you still struggling with the matter of face, and you still have to be tough to the end?"

"This is not a good question, it's a question of zz enlightenment!"

In fact, if you say it in detail, these oppositions are not unreasonable.

As examiners of the imperial examination, with this qualification, their career will be smoother in the future. But at the same time, this scientific examination has become a black spot in their career, so everyone is angry.

"This Hanlin Academy can't stay anymore!" Dai Yi said in his heart, "I've just given a good face for a few days after the new emperor ascended the throne, and I forgot that the civil servants of the Hongwu Dynasty are like dogs?"

"If you ask me, we are the most difficult thing!" Zhang Xin, a lecturer, sighed again, "Re-reading the papers means telling the scholars that there is something wrong with us examiners!"

"If the ranking changes after re-scoring the papers, not only will the ones who fail to win will scold us, but those who fail will also scold us. In short, it's just a saying, it's not human inside or outside!"

"That's it!"

This sentence completely ignited the grievance and anger in the hearts of these examiners, and they all started to shout.

In their opinion, they are members of the court. Don’t be right, even if there is any mistake, the court will stand on their side and help them cover up.

Otherwise, what is the majesty of these people? Their face is there.

"It's all crazy, I can't tell it clearly at this time!" Dai Yi was confused and looked at Liu Sanwu sitting upright.

He thought that as the foreman of the Hanlin Academy, Liu Zhongshu should have all the expressions, but the other party just sat there, motionless.

Suddenly, he remembered a sentence that the Supreme Emperor once said to Liu Zhongshu.

As an edict, please.

As an aide, you can.

For bachelor's degree, can.

However, he lacks courage and decisiveness in his character. He should not make a decision. He is hesitant to deal with things and should not be responsible for great responsibilities!

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside.

"Can Liu Zhongshu be there?"

After the voice fell, Liu Sanwu quickly stood up to greet him. The person who came was not someone else, but Zheng Yi, the Minister of Rites, came in person.

"Master Ting!" Liu Sanwu bowed.

"Liu Zhongshu doesn't have to be too polite!" Zheng Yi smiled gently, then looked inside the house, "Everyone is here!"

"I've seen Zhengbutang!" The examiners stood up and saluted.

"I won't say much!" Zheng Yi smiled, "The emperor's decree, let your Hanlin Academy examiners review the papers again. As for the papers, I personally picked them out of the warehouse and sent them to you personally!" As he said, he smiled, "Where do you put them?"

Liu Sanwu paused, "It's time for Zhengbu Hall!" He said, looking at it, "Come, please..."

"Wait!" Zhang Xin, a lecturer, suddenly said, "Sir Liu, can't this paper be just put in this way?"

"Um?"

Not to mention Liu Sanwu, Zheng Yi's face changed and he said, "I won't put this paper, are you reading it so much? Could it be that you want to resist the order?"

A voice of resistance made the examiners' tempers rise again.

In the final analysis, the officials in the Ming Dynasty were all stubborn. Even if the old man killed one after another, the young man would emerge one after another, and he would be proud of resisting the order.

"Mr. Zheng is such a bad word. When will we say we want to resist the order?" Zhang Xin said angrily, "Since we need to re-read the papers, the official asked you, how do you read them?"
