Chapter 929: The joint examination is over and the imperial examination begins
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao quickly took the official document and opened it. They saw that the letter mentioned that a force trying to influence Chun Wei's justice had appeared in the capital recently. The imperial court had sent spies to investigate secretly, and asked the local government to strengthen precautions to ensure
Spring Festival went smoothly.
After reading the letter, Zhu Han frowned and said to Zhu Biao: "It seems that our task is more difficult than imagined. This force is obviously prepared, and we must be more careful."
Zhu Biao clenched his fists, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes: "Uncle Han, don't worry, no matter how cunning this force is, we can't let them succeed. I will personally supervise the implementation of every preventive measure to ensure Chunwei's fairness and justice.
Safety."
Zhu Han patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder and encouraged: "It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty that Your Highness has such determination. Next, we must cooperate more closely, not only to guard against external threats, but also to ensure that every link within the examination room is
It’s foolproof.”
Subsequently, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao urgently summoned all the officials and staff responsible for Chunwei, conveyed the contents of the emergency document from the capital to everyone, and asked everyone to take immediate action to strengthen security measures inside and outside the examination room, add monitoring points, and increase vigilance.
, we must respond quickly to any suspicious behavior and investigate and deal with it severely.
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao stood on the viewing platform, their eyes sternly scanning the examination room below, their hearts filled with a sense of responsibility and urgency. Zhu Han said solemnly: "Everyone, the news from the capital shows that someone is trying to interfere with this Spring Festival.
Fairness. We must strengthen precautions to ensure that the exam is conducted smoothly and there is no room for failure."
A general in charge of security stepped forward and said with cupped hands: "Your Highness, Your Highness King Han, the general has strengthened the patrols around the examination room and set up hidden sentries to ensure that any disturbance can be detected immediately."
Zhu Han nodded in approval: "Very good, but we need to continue to be more vigilant. We must consider various possible risks, including but not limited to monitoring blind spots inside and outside the examination room, as well as the security of information transmission."
Zhu Biao added: "What King Han said makes sense. We should also strengthen the background investigation of candidates to ensure that no suspicious persons are mixed in. At the same time, all staff involved in the examination need to be reviewed again to ensure their loyalty and reliability."
At this time, a staff member responsible for the candidate's background investigation came forward and reported: "Your Highness, Your Highness King Han, the background investigation of the candidates is nearing completion, and no obvious abnormalities have been found so far. However, we will continue to dig deeper to ensure nothing is missed."
Zhu Biao then asked: "What do you think Mr. Zhang has to say about the safety of test questions?"
Mr. Zhang, who was in charge of the test questions, took a step forward and respectfully replied: "Your Highness, Your Highness King Han, the printing and storage of the test questions have been carried out in accordance with the highest standards. The test questions are stored in a special secret room surrounded by numerous mechanisms. Without authorization,
No one can get close to it. In addition, we have arranged multiple groups of patrol teams to guard it day and night."
Zhu Han nodded and expressed satisfaction: "Very good. The safety of test questions is the cornerstone of Chunwei's fairness. There must be no mistakes. Mr. Zhang, you need to continue to strengthen monitoring and prevention in this area."
A staff member in charge of supervision stepped forward and reported: "Your Highness, according to your instructions, I have strengthened patrols and monitoring inside and outside the examination room to ensure that there are no blind spots. At the same time, I have arranged manpower to conduct patrols around the examination room.
Check repeatedly to prevent unexpected events."
Zhu Han nodded slightly and expressed his approval: "Very good. Your caution and meticulousness are important guarantees for the smooth progress of this Spring Festival. But remember, we must not only prevent external troubles, but also internal worries. All staff involved in this Spring Festival,
Everyone must go through strict background checks to ensure that no one has bad intentions."
At this time, Mr. Zhang, who was in charge of printing the test questions, stepped forward with a slightly nervous expression: "Your Highness, regarding the printing of the test questions, I have personally supervised the printing work to ensure that every process complies with the regulations. However, I still have worries in my heart, fearing that the test questions
An accident occurred during transportation.”
When Zhu Han heard this, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang's concerns are very true. The transportation of test questions is indeed a top priority. You need to make further arrangements and ensure that the transportation team is capable and loyal. At the same time, add hidden sentries.
Monitor along the way and take immediate action if something suspicious is discovered."
Mr. Zhang bowed and obeyed the order: "I obey the order and will do my best to ensure the safety of the test questions."
Seeing that everyone had accepted the order, Zhu Biao turned to Zhu Han and said: "Uncle Han Wang, this Spring Festival is not only a test for the candidates, but also a big test for us. Biao'er will go all out to assist King Han.
Uncle, make sure Chunwei is fair and impartial."
Zhu Han patted Zhu Biao's shoulder and said sincerely: "It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty that Your Highness has such a heart. You and I, uncle and nephew, need to work together to overcome the difficulties. Remember, no matter what we encounter,
No matter what kind of difficulty you have, you need to remain calm and firm in order to find a solution."
The exam bell finally rang, marking the temporary end of the several-day imperial examination. The candidates filed out, either with relief or with hidden expectations on their faces, and they all discussed the difficulty of the test questions and their own
of performance.
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao stood outside the examination room, looking at this scene with deep eyes. They were concerned about the candidates and planning for the next marking work.
"Uncle Han Wang, now that the examination is over, how should we arrange the next marking work?" Zhu Biao asked softly, his words showing a bit of solemnity.
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "What Your Highness said is absolutely true. Marking is an extremely important part of the imperial examination and must be done with great caution. We need to immediately summon all the chief and deputy examiners to discuss the marking matters together to ensure fairness and impartiality.
"
So, the two of them walked into the marking room together, and saw that long tables had been placed in the room, and the tables were covered with sealed test papers. There was a tense and solemn atmosphere in the air. The chief and deputy examiners arrived one after another.
Everyone gathered together and saluted Zhu Han and Zhu Biao one after another.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Han raised his hand to signal everyone to excuse themselves, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the examination is over. The next grading work is related to the future pillars of the country.
Selection carries a heavy responsibility. We must uphold impartiality, carefully review every test paper, and not miss any detail."
An examiner stepped forward, raised his hands and asked: "Your Highness, Your Highness King Han, do you know if there are any special requirements or standards for this marking?"
Zhu Han smiled slightly, glanced at everyone, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "The key to grading is to be comprehensive and fair. We must not only examine the candidates' academic level, but also pay attention to whether their insights are unique, as well as the structure and logic of the article.
At the same time, we must strictly screen out identical papers or papers suspected of fraud and will never tolerate them."
Hearing this, another deputy examiner nodded in agreement and said, "What His Royal Highness, King Han, said is absolutely true. We will definitely follow this standard, grade the papers carefully, and live up to the high expectations of the imperial court and His Majesty."
Zhu Han nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Zhu Biao and said, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
Zhu Biao smiled slightly, with firmness in his eyes: "Uncle Han Wang has made careful arrangements, and Biao'er has no objections. However, it is inevitable that there will be disputes during the marking process. How should we deal with them?"
Zhu Han thought for a while and replied: "For disputes, we can set up a review team, composed of experienced examiners, to deal with such issues. At the same time, the examiners are encouraged to discuss with each other and explore the best answers together to ensure that the marks will be graded
Fairness and accuracy of results.”
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, and then said to the examiners: "Dear examiners, the imperial examination is a national matter, related to the safety of the country. I hope you can uphold fairness, carefully review every examination paper, and select real talents for the country."
All the examiners bowed down and agreed, saying that they would do their best and live up to their trust.
Afterwards, the grading work officially began. The examiners each received the test papers, returned to their seats and began to review them carefully.
There was silence in the room, only the rustle of the pen tip across the paper could be heard.
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao patrolled the marking room from time to time to check the examiners' marking progress and quality to ensure that everything went smoothly.
"Uncle Hanwang, the test papers for this session seem to be of high quality and the competition is fierce." Zhu Biao said softly, with a bit of emotion in his tone.
Zhu Han nodded slightly and looked deeply: "It is true. This audition has attracted many young talents. However, this is exactly what we expect. Through fierce competition, we will select truly talented and potential talents.
.”
"It's just that the grading work is also full of challenges." Zhu Biao frowned, obviously having a clear understanding of the upcoming grading work, "How to ensure that every examiner can judge fairly and selflessly to avoid personal bias affecting the results is really very difficult.
Easy."
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and said slowly: "What His Highness said is absolutely true. In order to ensure the fairness of the marking, we need to start from many aspects. First of all, we must clarify the marking standards so that every examiner knows the basis for the evaluation; secondly, establish
The review team will review the more controversial test papers to ensure the accuracy and fairness of the evaluation; finally, strengthen supervision and monitor the entire marking process to prevent the occurrence of any fraud."
When Zhu Biao heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "Uncle Han Wang has thought carefully, and Biao'er has learned a lesson. But, when setting up the review team, what is the point of selecting the candidates?"
Zhu Han smiled slightly and explained: "The selection of the review team is very important. It is necessary to select those experienced, impartial and knowledgeable examiners. They must not only have profound academic skills, but also have keen judgment and impartiality.
position to ensure the authority of the review results.”
"What Uncle Han Wang said makes sense." Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, "However, during the marking process, if a candidate's views are novel but inconsistent with the mainstream, how should we deal with it?"
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and spoke firmly: "The purpose of the imperial examination is to select talents with innovative thinking and unique insights. We should not easily deny such candidates, but should carefully screen out the rationality and value of their opinions. If they are true,
If you have true knowledge and insight, you should be given affirmation and encouragement.”
When Zhu Biao heard this, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes: "What Uncle Han Wang said made Biao'er enlightened. The purpose of the imperial examination is to select talents, not to imprison thoughts. We should indeed uphold an open and inclusive attitude and give every candidate the opportunity to show their talents.
Chance.
Time passed quietly, and several days passed in the blink of an eye. With the review of the last test paper completed, the grading work was coming to an end. Zhu Han and Zhu Biao convened the examiners to discuss the final ranking and admission list.
As the grading work progressed, the room became increasingly quiet and tense. Zhu Han and Zhu Biao exchanged opinions from time to time, repeatedly discussing and confirming the grading standards, review procedures and other details.
Behind every test paper is the dream and future of a young student, so you must be careful.
Finally, after several days of intense work, the grading work was successfully completed. Zhu Han and Zhu Biao convened the examiners to discuss and determine the final admission list.
With the successful conclusion of the examination grading work, the selected tributes are about to face a more severe test - the palace examination.
On this day, the palace was solemn and solemn. Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the Jinluan Hall, his eyes like torches, looking at every young talent who was about to enter the hall.
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao stood at the side of the palace, full of expectations and a little nervous in their hearts. Zhu Han said softly to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, this palace examination is the last hurdle for the country to select pillars. We must ensure fairness and selflessness so that truly qualified people can be selected."
The talented ones stand out.”
Zhu Biao nodded, with a firm light shining in his eyes: "Uncle Han, don't worry, Biao'er will uphold justice and live up to the trust of his father and Uncle Han."
With a loud roll call, the first tribute entered the hall and knelt three times and kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were deep and he spoke slowly: "You are all talents who have been screened at all levels. Today's palace examination, I
I want to hear with my own ears your opinions on the governance of the country. I hope you can speak freely and do not be afraid."
The tributes came forward one by one, either making impassioned speeches, or quoting scriptures, each showing what they had learned, and expressing their own opinions. Zhu Yuanzhang sometimes nodded in approval, and sometimes frowned slightly, obviously paying high attention to and judging the answers of each tribute.
When it was the turn of a tribute named Li Mufeng, he looked calm and spoke sincerely: "Your Majesty, I believe that the way to govern a country is to pay equal attention to benevolent government and the rule of law. Benevolent government is to calm the people's hearts, and the rule of law is to establish the foundation of the country. The two complement each other.
Only then can we achieve a peaceful and prosperous age.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes: "Li Mufeng, your words are pertinent and your insights are unique. I see that there are many talented people among you, but running a country cannot be done by one person, it requires the concerted efforts of everyone. You are welcome to join us."
After becoming an official in the dynasty, you should take this as a lesson and work together for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty."
When it was the turn of a tribute man named Zhao Zixuan, he seemed confident and calm. He slowly walked into the center of the hall. After saluting, he began to explain his views: "Your Majesty, I believe that the strength of a country lies not only in strong soldiers and horses, but also in
lies in
The people are prosperous and the country is strong. Therefore, Weichen advocates developing farming and building water conservancy to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment and the national treasury is full. At the same time, Weichen also suggests opening business schools to encourage technological innovation and overseas trade to expand financial resources and enhance national strength."
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a trace of interest flashed in his eyes: "Zhao Zixuan, what you said about developing farming and industry and commerce simultaneously is indeed a novel idea. However, although the benefits of industry and commerce are huge, they need to be carefully controlled to avoid putting the cart before the horse and damaging the foundation of agriculture. What do you have to say?
