Wang Junlin, Gao Ying and Zhou Chengyan gathered the test papers together. Under the leadership of the Huangmen eunuch sent by Yang Jian and under the protection of the palace guards, the test papers and the examiner who finally reviewed the test papers were sent to the inner hall of the examination hall.
among.
Within a few days, these anonymously transcribed test papers will be reviewed, and the top two hundred candidates will be selected, and then the palace examination will be held to determine the rankings of the top two, top picks, and other high school students.
Gao Ying and Zhou Chengyan each brought their own team of examiners to check the test papers. They spent three days correcting a total of more than 3,000 test papers. Correcting the meaning of the classics is relatively simple, because there are correct answers to the meanings of the classics, and it only takes a little time to correct.
With good eyesight, but without having to think too hard, sixty or seventy papers can be passed in basically an hour. On average, each person has more than 400 papers and less than 500 papers. The correction can be completed in two days. The extra day spent is to exchange the corrected papers with each other.
Exchange and check whether there are any errors in other people's corrections.
And just through the scriptures and meanings, more than 2,000 people were eliminated at once. Of course, almost all of these people were from poor families. Those who were a little short when they passed the paper will not be eliminated regardless of the scriptures and meanings.
In the end, only 700 papers were sent to the examination and re-examination. There were seven examiners and five re-examiners. These two passes were mainly for the evaluation of policy theory. Including the examination papers, the scores of the three parties would be
If they are the same, there is nothing to say. If they are different, they will be submitted to the examiner. This judgment is quite energy-consuming, and it took a total of six days to end.
When all the examinations were completed, the remaining nearly three hundred papers were delivered to the two examiners, Gao Ying and Zhou Chengyan.
Among them, there are more than 100 papers that are not controversial and have been determined to pass or pass three tests in a row; there are also more than 200 papers that are incompatible with the three evaluations of review, examination and retest, and require two
The examiners will work together to finalize the decision.
The two chief examiners had to finalize the two hundred successful candidates, which took more time than inspection, examination and re-examination. Gao Ying and Zhou Chengyan each flipped through the examination papers in silence, and the only sound in the hall was rustling.
There was the sound of paper being turned. The only thing that could be heard was a paper with too many mistakes, which was taken out as a joke; or there were some outstanding words and phrases, which were recited and exchanged. On the surface, the two of them seemed to be in harmony, but they both knew in their hearts that they really
The battle really begins.
Although the quota has been almost divided, it would be better if there is an opportunity to let the other high school have fewer quotas and give yourself more, especially some wealthy families who have not chosen to side with either the prince or the deposed prince. They secretly asked
Between the two of them, whoever accomplishes things for these powerful families, or allows one or two more of his family's children to pass the exam, will win them over to his side to a certain extent.
It was getting late, and most of the successful test papers were already confirmed. When it was time to eat, Gao Ying suddenly saw some words in the paper in his hand, and instantly understood that it belonged to Xu Jingzong, so he judged it directly without looking at it, and
He said with a pity look on his face: "There are talents even in poor families. If this boy came from my family, he could be trained well, but it's a pity."
This was not the first time Gao Ying said something like this today, but Zhou Chengyan still felt uneasy and picked it up and took a look at it. He saw that the paper was not shortened at all, and there were no slight creases. The third line of the first page
The three words were no bigger than the other words, so he looked away again and ignored them.
Gao Ying saw that Zhou Chengyan did not recognize that this was Xu Jingzong's paper. He was secretly relieved, but at the same time he felt that this matter was a little too easy. The other back-ups he had arranged were not used. He thought that Xu Jingzong's paper was Is there no mark on it that the other party can use for comparison?
This possibility is not impossible. With so many test papers, it is not impossible that the person who arranged and copied the papers may have made some mistakes, but is this too much of a coincidence? Gao Ying felt a little uneasy.

Wang Junlin left this smelly examination hall. Niu Jinda was driving the carriage in front of the entrance. Shen Guang and ten guards on tall horses were already waiting. After getting on the carriage, he took the towel handed by Shen Guang. , wiped his face randomly, and asked a little tiredly: "What is Xu Jingzong's situation now?"
"As we have analyzed before, this person is very proud and arrogant, and is full of confidence that he will be among the top in high school. At present, both himself and the people around him believe that he will definitely be able to reach high school and be at least among the top three. The most important thing is , this person is very concerned about fame and fortune. Once he does not go to high school, his character will definitely suffer a big blow. Although his character is relatively stable, at the critical moment, if he is stimulated by the magic medicine prepared by the Marquis, he will definitely be made to follow our instructions. The plan is implemented, even if it is difficult to control him, we have prepared a backup plan to find a substitute to replace him and make him disappear completely." Shen Guang whispered the reward speech that he had prepared long ago.
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "I have prepared ten thousand character books imitating Xu Jingzong's writing habits in advance. The more the better."
Shen Guang said respectfully.
Wang Junlin thought for a while and said: "I have read Xu Jingzong's papers carefully. He was a talented person with a deep groove in his heart. It is a pity that he died like this. Prepare in advance and find a corpse to make him fake death to protect him." One life. Don’t let the people at Nighthawk know about this.”
"I understand." Shen Guang hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
…
…
Everything was calm in Kyoto for the next few days. Now that Wang Junlin has mastered the list, Nighthawk's hidden power is fully operational. It is not difficult to follow the clues to investigate and dig out some tangible evidence. What's more, these people are so unscrupulous in their actions. I never thought anyone would check them.
Before the list of candidates was released, no shocking news spread in the official circles. However, when the top three were finally decided, the dozen or so talented and humble scholars who Wang Junlin secretly slipped in were not excluded. Obviously, He was regarded as one of their own by Gao Ying and Zhou Chengyan.
As for Gao Ying and Zhou Chengyan, their main focus was on each other, so they obviously didn't pay enough attention to Wang Junlin who had completed his errand, and they didn't even notice the problem.
…
…
It's already mid-September.
After two rains, the hot summer days finally ended and the weather gradually became cooler.
While the candidates were waiting for the results to be released, many people heard that Xu Jingzong would definitely be able to pass high school, and he would be either the top pick, the top pick, or the second pick. With the support of two behemoths, Donggong and Yue Guogong, he had a bright future. , so I had to take advantage of the opportunity to entertain Xu Jingzong in advance before the list came down.
Xu Jingzong refused to accept anyone who came, and he accepted everyone's flattery at the banquet. After a few days, he felt that if he could not be among the top three, it would be unbearable.
Originally, the emergence of the imperial examination and the emperor presiding over the palace examination only appeared in the early Northern Song Dynasty. However, after Wang Junlin deliberately proposed this suggestion more than a month ago, Yang Jian readily accepted it. This made the emperor's palace examination appear nearly four hundred years in advance.
Wang Junlin's suggestion at that time was completely based on what he knew about the historical palace examination model after the Song Dynasty, and Yang Jian almost completely agreed. For example, the palace examination would not depose candidates, but only determine the ranking. As long as they can be on the admission list of the Ministry of Rites Examination
, that is the first rank of Jinshi.
The words "top scholar, second place and Jinshi" were thought up by Gao Ying, Zhou Chengyan and others. Wang Junlin didn't know what allusion they came from, but he remembered that in the original history, the "Top Three" classification was only after the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty matured, that is,
The first-ranked person in the palace examination is called "First Class" and is awarded "Jinshi"; the second-ranked person is called "Second Class" and is awarded "Jinshi origin"; the third-ranked person is called "Third Class" and is awarded "Tongjinshi"
"born" are collectively referred to as Jinshi. First-A, Second-A, and Third-A are each given several names. First-A is limited to three people. Second-A, and Third-A are each given several names. The first-place in First-A is called the number one scholar, and the second-place in First-A is called Zhuangyuan.
It is called the second place, and the third place in the first class is called Tanhua; and the "third class" is actually the last place in the palace examination.
But when he proposed the method of the palace examination, Yang Jian arranged it, and Gao Ying, Zhou Chengyan and others naturally developed the method of the top three. Wang Junlin kept thinking about whether this was a coincidence of history or an inevitability of history.

On September 21st, the autumn leaves fell on both sides of the road, and the birds on the branches formed happy pairs. It was the joyful autumn harvest season. Located in the ordinary inn on the west side of Kyoto not far from the examination hall that day, I was waiting.
Students from all over the country gathered in panic downstairs to watch the exam results. There were no food or drinks on the table, so these students had no intention of eating at all at this time and focused entirely on inquiring about the news.
"No chance." A student from Yongzhou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "After thinking about it, the possibility that these poor people will be able to go to high school is too small."
"Brother Ziming, why did you say that?" The student sitting next to him had a dark complexion but bright eyes. It was Fang Qiao who was let go by Wang Junlin in the examination hall because of his entanglement.
Fang Qiao comes from Linzi, Qizhou, and his family owns nearly a hundred acres of land. He is considered a small landowner. However, compared with a wealthy family, he is still the difference between an ant and an elephant, but he does have the basic conditions for studying. He is different from others because
In the examination room, he boldly asked Wang Junlin whether he could pass high school, and Wang Junlin nodded to him. His mood at this time was different from the others sitting there, and he was extremely relaxed.
At this time, he took a chopstick of peanuts soaked in old vinegar from the table and ate it. While chewing, he said vaguely: "Brother Ziming is a famous figure in Bingzhou. He writes extremely brilliant strategies. Everyone saw it a few days ago.
Afterwards, everyone was full of praise, so it should be on the list!"
The scholar known as Brother Ziming, whose surname is Liu, Ziming is his given name, is from Tianshui County, Yongzhou. He is twenty-seven or eighty years old. He seems to have a steady personality and is quite worldly. At this time, he glanced at the others and hesitated to speak.
