Lao Zhu highly affirmed Ni Sun's method, but soon felt that something was wrong.

"wrong!"

"What if the grading results are the same?"

Zhu Yunxi also had a headache when he heard this.

"Grandpa Huang, if the results of the two examinations are the same, it can only mean one thing."

"What's the problem?"

"You are not qualified to be an emperor!"

"hiss!"

Liu Sanwu, who had just been kicked down by Lao Zhu, took a deep breath when he heard this.

The emperor's grandson is too brave to say it!

This is tantamount to questioning the emperor’s ability to govern!

The other marking officers who were locked in the examination room were frightened when they heard this, secretly thinking that something bad was going on and the old emperor was going to get angry again.

As expected, Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment and raised his foot to vent his anger on Da Sun. Unexpectedly, Ni Sun was already prepared and easily escaped by rolling on the ground like a donkey.

"Grandpa Huang, don't be impatient, at least listen to what I have to say!"

Lao Zhu was almost mad at his rebellious grandson, so he just moved out of the palace without saying a word. Now that he hasn't seen him for several days, he gets mad at him whenever they meet. He is really not a grandson!

"What else do you have to say!"

"Grandpa Huang, this is really your fault!"

"Think about it, it has been twenty-seven years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and there is still such a big gap in education between the north and the south. If you, the emperor, are not to blame, who should be to blame?"

"Uh uh..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was speechless. If he followed the grandson's theory, it seemed that he really had to blame himself for this.

"Even if there is a gap, it can't be that big, right?"

In fact, this is what Zhu Yunxi is confused about.

It is an indisputable fact that there is a gap in the education level between the north and the south of the Ming Dynasty. But all the northern scholars failed, which is a bit unreasonable, right? Is it true that the level of northern scholars is really poor?

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson is also confused about this matter, so he said that he needs to find someone to re-mark the exam."

Lao Zhu sighed secretly after hearing this.

"All right!"

"We will allocate people from the Sixth Department to review the papers!"

"However, none of these people can be let go before the marking is completed!"

"However, none of these people can be let go before the marking is completed!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded quickly, coaxed Lao Zhu to go to the main room of Gongyuan, and then ordered people to go to the Sixth Department to arrest people for marking. In order to speed up the efficiency of marking, Zhu Yunxi also called three of his masters and a group of students from Hope School to help.

Yang Xinlu, Gao Ming, and Qin Hengbo were naturally the chief and deputy examiners for the second grading, and the Jinshi captured by the Sixth Division served as examiners for each room.

Although there were several times more examiners in the second time than in the first time, in the face of tens of thousands of test papers, nothing could be discerned for a moment.

Zhu Yunxi originally wanted to persuade the emperor's grandfather to go back to the palace to rest, and then show him the results here.

However, Lao Zhu was convinced that his men had lied to him, and he would not go back until he died, and he would have to watch here.

"Grandpa Huang, are you really not going back to the palace?"

"No reply!"

"These female ministers are used to cheating, so we have to keep a close eye on them!"

After Lao Zhuhao finished speaking angrily, he originally thought that his eldest grandson would accompany him and stare at him, but he never expected that his eldest grandson would bow to him, say thank you for your hard work, and then run away!

"Grandpa, thank you for your hard work. My grandson will go back and catch up on his sleep first!"

Lao Zhu looked at his eldest grandson's retreating figure and really wanted to slap himself twice.

How old are you? How can you pretend to be diligent in front of this grandson? Do you look young?

"Get back here!"

"Get back here!"

"If you want to sleep, let's go back and sleep..."

"No!"

"Just take your time, hahaha!"

"You rebellious grandson!"

Lao Zhu watched his eldest son run away like a rabbit, his face full of

He smiled helplessly, then ordered someone to flatten the couch, covered himself with a blanket, and just started spending time with a group of chief and deputy examiners.

Seeing his disciple's behavior, Gao Ming could only shake his head helplessly, and then continued to immerse himself in the test paper.

After three days, all 10,000 test papers were reviewed.

To everyone's expectation, the results of the two assessments were basically the same.

Why do we say they are basically the same? All the candidates admitted for the first time were Jiangnan candidates. Although the list for the second admission was slightly different, the people admitted were still from Jiangnan.

When Lao Zhu saw two admission lists that were almost the same, he was completely confused.

"Is the education level really so different between the north and the south of Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yunxi ignored Lao Zhu when he heard this, but continued to stare at the list in his hand.

The second marking fully absorbed the experience of the first marking. Not only the top 100 people were recorded, but also all the people after the 100 were ranked.

Zhu Yunxi searched for a long time in the directory before he found the name of a northern scholar three hundred people away. Then he wanted to find the second one, and searched about fifty people further back.

"Grandpa Huang, you are right, the gap between the north and the south is really too big."

"According to the unified examination rankings of the north and the south, the highest ranking of northern scholars is only 320, which means that we in the Ming Dynasty can only admit one northerner if we admit 320 Jinshi at one time!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he didn't believe it. He immediately threw down the list and ordered someone to bring over the papers of the northern scholars. However, he didn't know it without looking at it. At first glance...it was really far off.

Not to mention comparing with the one who came first in the examination, even compared with the one who came in last in the examination, there is a big gap in arts and science. It is still the kind of gap that can be seen at a glance.

It can be seen from this that Qi Tai and the others did not bend the law for personal gain, and they were indeed fair and impartial when marking the papers.

But Lao Zhu still couldn't accept this result. The Ming Dynasty he worked so hard to build was not just half of the Ming Dynasty, but the entire Ming Dynasty including the south and north of the Yangtze River.

If we let these scholars do this, what will the world think of it?

Doesn’t it mean that in his eyes, the emperor only sees people from the south of the Yangtze River and not people from the north?

But the gap between the two test papers was too obvious, so Lao Zhu couldn't even take sides, so he could only use his status as emperor to activate the skill of telling lies with his eyes open.

"It seems that Han Kezhong's paper writing is quite good. Even if he can't be admitted into the first or second class, it's still no problem to give him a third class..."

The examiners in the Gongyuan looked at me and I looked at you. Everyone's face was filled with speechlessness.

The emperor was not only blind himself, he also wanted them to be blind too!

"You are all mute, why don't you speak? Are we wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty said it must be really good!"

"I will all obey my orders!"

When Lao Zhu heard the examiners say this, he couldn't help but blush.

What a shame!

These guys may be laughing at us in their hearts!

It’s true that Northern scholars are so unsatisfactory, why can’t they write a few better articles?

"I think Wang Shu's paper is pretty good. Although he didn't avoid our grandfather's taboo, we can't blame the child entirely. After all, our grandfather Zhu Chuyi's taboo is indeed a bit difficult to avoid..."

When Yang Xinlu and others heard this, they all nodded secretly, thinking that His Majesty the Emperor finally spoke a human word this time.

The taboo of the emperor's family is really hard to avoid. His grandfather Zhu Chuyi and his father Zhu Wusi later changed their name to Zhu Shizhen. But no matter before or after the name change, there is not a single uncommon word. They are all commonly used words. What do you think?

What are the taboos for candidates to avoid!

The so-called taboo avoidance means that during the imperial examination, you must actively avoid taboos about the emperor's name and the names of the emperor's ancestors. According to the imperial examination rules, once you violate taboos, no matter how brilliant your essay is, you will not be admitted.

Lao Zhu couldn't get the big one out of his file, so he had to take the initiative to relax the admission conditions and cut off his grandfather's taboo first.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is so eager to seek talents that he is moved by

Cang, I moved the world and all the scholars!"

This time their flattery comes from the heart.
