Su Yizhao turned around and went to the cabin to help and pack his luggage.
As the carriage drove along the official road, Su Yizhao put the book back in the box. He would be back at his old house in about an hour.
The thirteen-day journey on the ship, plus a day and a half on the carriage, had already made her tired. Su Yizhao was deeply aware of the inconvenience of transportation in ancient times.
"Xiaoqi, three of the examiners and co-examiners selected for this provincial examination are from the Hanlin Academy. Among them, the examiners are Mr. Ren Shulin, a bachelor at the time, and Mr. Qi Binqi, a editor."
Seeing that Su Yizhao no longer read, Su Yijue talked about the examiners of this provincial examination.
"One of the examiners is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, Mr. He Baishenghe, and the others are teachers and lecturers from Confucian schools in other provinces."
Su Yizhao pricked up his ears and listened. He asked these three people because he wanted to find out their preferences. After all, they were the ones marking the exams.
"And the supervisor is Cao Jincheng, the supervisory censor of Henan Province."
Su Yizhao quickly recalled in his mind the background and trends of officials in the DPRK and China that he had learned about in the past two years. Ren Shulin came from a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River, but it had declined a few generations ago. There are only a few officials of the Ren family in the DPRK today.
Qi Bin, who compiled the book, was born in a poor family. His ancestors had some scholars and some were scholars, so he could be regarded as a descendant of farming and studying.
The editor, He Baisheng, was ranked third in the first class of the imperial examination. I heard that his family was well off, but not from a prominent family.
The last supervisory censor, however, has quite a history. Although the supervisory censor is only a seventh-grade official, he has great authority.
Supervising hundreds of officials, inspecting counties and counties, correcting prison sentences, and upholding court rituals, etc., any one of them is an important task.
But such a heavy responsibility falls on these seventh-rank officials.
Therefore, no matter how high-ranking the officials inside and outside the DPRK are, they would not dare to neglect these people. After all, they will give you many opportunities to wear small shoes, right?
As for Cao Jincheng, it's not that he has a prominent identity, but that four years ago, a case occurred in Shengnan Mansion that shocked the government and the public.
A censor in the Supervisory Council impeached Wang Hongwei, the former magistrate of Shengnan Prefecture, for engaging in favoritism and embezzling food relief in the name of providing disaster relief to the people.
The year before Su Yizhao traveled through time, floods occurred in many state capitals such as Jiangnan.
Shengnan Mansion was also in disaster, and it was more severe.
This prefect Wang was also very capable. He united with the officials from above and below to create a conspiracy, fake disasters and cheat, and cut off the supervision grain.
After the incident broke out, the emperor sent the censor and imperial envoys to investigate the case, and later recovered more than 600,000 taels of disaster silver.
The case also involved officials from other state capitals, who pulled out carrots and brought out mud. A total of more than 30 officials were involved, which shocked the DPRK and China.
You must know that since the establishment of the Dayun Dynasty, even if there were corruption cases, they would never be so widely involved.
Although compared to the major corruption cases during the Wu Dynasty, this is just a small incident, but today's Dayun Dynasty is still recovering and recuperating. How can it compare with the original prosperity of the Wu Dynasty?
Tan Mo has so much money, which is almost as much as the emperor's private treasury. How can the emperor not be angry with this?
Of course, the emperor said this when he was extremely angry, otherwise no one would know how much money the emperor has in his private treasury.
Such a major case was reported and reported by Cao Jincheng.
As a result, he was promoted to two ranks, entered everyone's field of vision, and became famous in one fell swoop.
But why he has become the supervisory censor now? There are no legendary events in this. It must be attributed to this person's temper.
Being upright, hating evil as much as hatred, and being inhumane are this person's mottos.
Dealing with people in official circles is not as simple as black and white.
If you want to gain a firm foothold in the officialdom, even if you don't follow the same trend, you can't become an outlier, otherwise you will only be eliminated.
Isn't this? After only four years, he was demoted to his original position. This was his fate.
If the emperor had not remembered him deeply and saved him in the end, he might have gone home to farm at this moment.
However, Su Yijue told him this with the intention of asking her to pay more attention, because this person was rigorous in his work, especially during scientific examinations, and he was very unkind and extremely strict.
"I believe that my uncle will tell you the preferences of the examiner and co-examiners later. I won't go into details here. But you should pay more attention to this invigilator. I heard that this person has such a rigorous personality that you will not be able to say much during the exam.
For your convenience, it will all be recorded on the paper."
After Su Yijue finished speaking, she coughed lightly and turned slightly red.
Huh? Su Yizhao's eyes widened and he looked at the other party in disbelief.
"Um, isn't it allowed to use the toilet? Why do we need to record it?" Su Yizhao was a little confused. What did you mean?
The provincial examination lasts for nine days and six nights! If you don't go to the toilet, won't you be suffocated to death? People have three urgent needs, doesn't he know?
She didn't believe that the supervisor could not go to the toilet. This was human nature. What was there to record?
"In fact, in the early Wu Dynasty, there was a rule that anyone who used the toilet must be recorded, and then copied on the paper by the transcriber. When the examiner and fellow examiners grade the paper, the number of times you use the toilet directly affects your score."
Su Yijue also sighed. In fact, this is a bad habit and should not be like this at all. Therefore, such an inhumane system was abolished in the later period of the Wu Dynasty.
Su Yizhao felt speechless. This was completely nonsense! How could he possibly be able to bear it when he had to go to the toilet?
"Anyway, he's not the official grading the papers, so it should be fine, right?"
Su Yizhao only felt that this Cao Jincheng was indeed unkind. How many rising stars would this offend?
No wonder he was fucked in the middle of the court. Such a character is really unbearable.
"Besides, the rules are set by the imperial court. How could he interfere with the scientific examination rules?" Su Yizhao didn't understand this point.
"It is true that the rules were set by the imperial court, and he was not the official who graded the papers. But once the papers are sealed and the toilet records are copied, the marks on them can indeed affect the examiners' senses."
Su Yijue sighed, looking quite helpless.
"And he did the same thing when he invigilated an exam before. The court never issued any instructions, and the emperor just laughed it off at the meeting."
When Su Yizhao heard this, he had ten thousand words to say. You think it's a joke and laugh it off, but it's the candidates who suffer!
She imagined that a candidate's essay was excellent, but when the examiner got the paper, the first thing he saw was not the essay, but the marks on it.
If there are too many marks, and the examiner cannot help but count them, will the impression of the examinee become worse in the future?
Huh? It turns out that he didn’t know how to write about spending time after going to the hut so many times on the way. Could it be that he didn’t know how to write?
Others only went to the toilet once or twice. Will the examiner be surprised, is this candidate constipated? He only went to the toilet once? It is really strange.
When Su Yizhao thought of this, he suddenly felt a little horrified.
Huh! No, right? It feels like there is no privacy!
"Isn't it common sense that people need to go to the toilet? Why do you have to do this?" Su Yizhao couldn't help but complain.
Su Yijue smiled bitterly, "Maybe he thinks that people who go to the toilet a lot will waste time on the exam? Anyway, we are unlucky to have such an invigilator this year."
Su Yizhao stroked his chin and felt that he had to find a way to prevent such ridiculous things from affecting his performance.
What if I have diarrhea? Bah, bah, bah! But what if it really happens?
