I saw that these palace maids and chamberlains also held a roll of paper in their hands, and there seemed to be something else.
After arriving at the Meridian Gate Square, sit in the chair of each candidate in order.
Outside the Meridian Gate Square, the candidates did not leave, they all looked at this scene curiously.
The palace maids and chamberlains, no more and no less, just filled every chair in the Meridian Gate Square.
Then, seeing these palace maids and chamberlains, they opened the candidates' papers and started taking action.
The candidates outside the venue started whispering when they saw it.
"Is the grading starting now?"
"This special examination of physics is really unique. Can you actually achieve results in public?"
"No, the maids and chamberlains all have the answers in their hands. Just compare them and see that if they are the same, they are right, and if they are different, they are wrong. Everyone can rate them!"
"This is really good. You don't have to wait so long and get anxious!"
"Yes, I think this is a good idea too. The most important thing is that I think there is no possibility of fraud in this special examination!"
"I agree. If anyone wants to commit fraud, he must bribe the Ministry of Rites, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities, the Beijing Camp, and the palace. Only when all the yamen are connected can fraud be possible. Moreover, the emperor is still watching.
!Who has this ability?”
"Yes, this scientific examination must be the most fair!"
"..."
During their discussion, they saw that the palace maids and chamberlains quickly finished judging the papers, then stood up and left, returning to the Forbidden City. However, the candidates' papers were still left on the table, and they were not taken away.
After all the palace maids and chamberlains had left, the soldiers from the Beijing camp patrolling the court began to pack up the papers on the table and hand them over to the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate on the sidelines.
Slowly, all the papers were collected into the hands of the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Then, under the spotlight, officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to check the papers, and reported the serial numbers and scores in the papers to officials from the Ministry of Rites, who registered them under the names of the candidates corresponding to the serial numbers.
During this process, a factory guard was watching on site. After reporting the serial number and score of a paper, the paper would be handed to the factory guard for verification before being filed with officials from the Ministry of Etiquette.
Because it is based on serial numbers and multiple people are doing it at the same time, the speed of registering scores is very fast.
Everyone is looking forward to the release of the exam results.
It didn't take long for all the papers to be registered, and then people from the Ministry of Etiquette, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the factory guards got together to check the scores, and enter the scores on a piece of red paper.
After the candidates saw it, they all knew that those who entered the red paper were on the list!
Suddenly, those candidates who felt good about themselves became excited, looking forward to having their names on the list!
At this time, it was actually noon, time for lunch, but no one felt hungry, and everyone was waiting for results.
Not long after, I saw the Minister of Rites holding the red list in both hands, accompanied by the censors on the left and right of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the factory guards followed, and went to the Meridian Gate upstairs.
Obviously, the results have come out and need to be submitted to the royal family for final determination.
Soon, on the Meridian Gate Tower, the Minister of Rites reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, there are 16,436 candidates for the special examination on the science of gewu. There are 16,436 candidates for the male subject and 7,800 candidates for the female subject."
Fifty-six people! Full marks in arithmetic, two from male subjects, two from female subjects; full marks in physics, one from male subjects, one from female subjects, perfect marks from chemistry, 0 from male subjects, one from female subjects. Full marks from comprehensive, 0 from male subjects, one from female subjects! Another one
, the score statistics of each subject are here, your Majesty, please take a look!"
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be very happy when he heard this.
That Liu Weichao, didn't he say he didn't get full marks? You really underestimated the talents of our Ming Dynasty! Talk to him later and see what else he has to say!
Feeling that his people were flattering him, Emperor Chongzhen was in a very good mood.
After receiving the results forwarded by Wang Chengen, he immediately started reading them happily.
Of course, at the same time, he was also a little curious, who is this person with perfect scores?
In the end, it doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it. Once you look at it, you’re a little dumbfounded.
In the women's department, there was a student who got perfect marks in physics and chemistry. Of course he wanted to know who this female candidate was?
As a result, he didn't expect it to be his own daughter, Princess Zhu Ainao of Kunxing!
Tell her to keep a low profile. The purpose of taking the special scientific examination on geophysics is actually to marry her husband. The result is good. She got such a result in the examination. What's the matter?
To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen was speechless and a little proud at the same time.
While he was watching, he heard the Minister of Rites still say: "The number one scholar in the female department is really amazing. All three schools have perfect scores. The capital's family name, Zhu, is right. It's really not wrong at all!"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little hesitant. Should he announce the identity of his daughter?
Let’s not announce it. All three of them have perfect scores. Just one of them must be the focus of everyone’s attention. It doesn’t make sense if we don’t announce it.
If you announce it, what will the world think?
Grains
Concubine Tian saw Emperor Chongzhen's hesitant look on the side and couldn't help but wanted to speak. However, this was considered an important matter for the court, and any words she spoke would be interfering in the affairs of the court, so she stopped talking.
But who would have expected that the Minister of Rites saw it, had a misunderstanding, and immediately asked in surprise: "How dare you think that this new number one scholar is a relative of the imperial concubine?"
"..." Upon hearing this, Concubine Tian was speechless and turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen, waiting for him to make up his mind.
……………
As for the candidates, although it is said that the time to wait for the release of the results is not long. As long as the emperor nods, the results will be released soon. However, these candidates are still waiting anxiously.
Xia Wanchun went over first to find his eldest sister and younger sister. After the exam, there was no need to differentiate between men and women. I thought it was over. If you didn't want to see the list right away, you could even leave.
"Second brother, how did you do in the exam? Did you answer all the questions?" Xia Huiji asked excitedly when she saw him.
However, what she didn't expect was that Xia Wanchun ignored her question at all and just asked them, "Have you seen her? Why didn't I find her?"
"..." When Xia Huiji heard this, she suddenly sweated on her forehead!
Then, she became a little angry and shouted to Xia Wanchun: "Second brother, I want to ask you, am I still your biological sister?"
Her voice was a bit loud, which immediately attracted the attention of those around her.
After being yelled at by her like this, Xia Wanchun came back to his senses. When he saw the eyes around them looking at them, he felt a little embarrassed. He quickly pulled the eldest sister and the younger sister to move, and at the same time said: "You are a girl yelling like this.
What?"
"..." Xia Huiji was so angry at him that she ignored him and turned to complain to Xia Shuji, "Sister, you come to judge, whose fault was it just now?"
Xia Shuji looked at the two of them with a smile, with smiles in her eyes, and then said to Xia Wanchun: "I'll keep an eye on it for you. Come with me, I saw her going to the restaurant on the street!"
"Ah?" Xia Wanchun was surprised when he heard this, and said with enlightenment, "Let me tell you, I can't find her no matter how hard I look!"
Then, he turned around and said to Xia Huiji with a smile: "What did you say just now? Do you want the answer to it?"
"Humph!" When Xia Huiji heard this, he immediately hummed and turned his head to ignore this brother.
When Xia Wanchun saw that his younger sister seemed really angry, he immediately said: "Well, second brother will take you to eat delicious food. I know there is a dessert shop in the capital, which is the most delicious. I am treating you and apologize to third sister!"
"
Xia Huiji's biggest hobby is eating delicious food. As soon as she heard her second brother's words, she immediately turned from anger to joy and quickly confirmed: "Really?"
"Yeah!" Xia Wanchun nodded quickly after hearing this.
Xia Shuji on the side looked at her younger brothers and sisters, with a smile on her face, smiling silently.
At this time, she saw that her younger brother and sister had reconciled, so she took them to a restaurant. When she arrived at the door of the store, she asked the waiter about it and then went to the second floor.
Sure enough, I saw a familiar and experienced follower of Zhu Yusuo standing at the door of a box.
When Xia Wanchun saw it, he was immediately overjoyed and wanted to stride over.
But as soon as he opened his legs, he was pulled back by Xia Shuji. Then, she walked forward and said to the attendant: "Can you please let me know, we want to pay a visit to your lady!"
The guard naturally recognized some of them, but he could still see him hesitate a little, and then ordered: "You guys wait!"
After saying that, he opened the curtain and walked in.
Just when she opened the curtain, Xia Shuji saw many people standing inside, who seemed to be the same entourage as the ones outside, and she was immediately surprised.
What is the origin of so many followers?
Faintly, she felt that Zhu Yuluo's identity might be a little more outrageous than they expected.
While she was thinking, she saw the attendant coming out again and said to Xia Shuji: "Please come inside!"
Hearing this, Xia Shuji's train of thought was interrupted, she came to her senses, and stepped into the private room with her younger siblings.
This private room is a suite. As soon as Xia Shuji entered the room, she discovered that there were about ten burly men who looked like the entourage at the door.
Moreover, these followers were not sitting casually, but standing at the four corners of the room. When they saw them entering, they turned to stare at them with real eyes.
Such an atmosphere made the youngest Xia Huiji stop laughing and feel a little depressed.
The attendant ignored the people in the room and led the three of them directly inside.
After entering, I also informed him first.
Then, Zhu Yuluo's cheerful voice was heard: "Come in!"
Hearing this, they were still as cordial as before, which made the three of them breathe a sigh of relief.
So, the three people stepped into the inner room.
As soon as they entered, Xia Shuji and the other three were stunned again.
