The inner east gate is a small hall.
Fortunately, Ding Wei acted quickly enough, otherwise, he would not have been able to enter the palace before the palace door was locked.
"What do you mean, Qing, remove Ye Qingchen from the top ten?"
Looking at Ding Wei who was begging for help, Li Jie was thoughtful.
Ding Wei seemed to have no prior knowledge?
"Look at it as a minister." Ding Wei bowed and said, "Ye Qingchen's poems and poems are not as far as those of the Song brothers, and his strategies are not as good as those of Fu Bi, a scholar in Xijing."
"Therefore, I believe that Ye Qingchen is not talented enough to rank among the top ten."
"In that case, I'll just follow your advice, okay?"
Li Jie didn't care whether Ding Wei was sincere or not. Anyway, the final ranking had not been released yet, so he would not lose anything by changing the ranking at this time.

Secondly, he also happened to see what Ding Wei, Lu Yijian and others could sing.
"Your Majesty is wise, I thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Wei immediately knelt on the ground respectfully and gave Li Jie a big salute.
In the etiquette system of the Song Dynasty, kneeling and worshiping were only performed on important occasions such as the Zhengdan Festival, the Winter Solstice, and suburban sacrifices.
"Flat body."
Li Jie smiled slightly and said as if he had something to say: "I understand what you want, so why should you be afraid of some rumors?"
As soon as he said this, Ding said that it was neither an answer nor a non-answer, so he could only stand half-bowed and Wei Wei stood there.
"Forget it, let's not mention it for now."
Seeing that Ding Wei didn't say anything, Li Jie simply ignored the topic and turned to another topic.
"As for the candidates for the palace examination, does Mr. Ding have anyone in mind?"
The examiner of the palace examination was of course the emperor himself, but during the palace examination, the emperor only showed up before the examination and said a few words of encouragement to the scholars to show that he valued them.
Specific matters are handled by other officials.
Generally speaking, the examiners for the Imperial Examination were selected from among the important civil servants of the Qing Dynasty, such as Hanlin bachelors, pavilion officials, Geishizhong, and Zhizhigao.
The specific examination evaluation is also the responsibility of the examiners. The emperor will only read the excellent answers submitted at the end and rank them.
"Deputy Privy Councilor Zhang Shixun has both talent and virtue, so he can be chosen."
Previously, Lu Yijian secretly gave Ding Wei an uppercut. Now, Ding Wei also wants to give Lu Yijian and others eye drops.
Recommending Zhang Shixun is undoubtedly politically correct.
After all, Zhang Shixun was born in Donggong Qiandi, and he had become acquainted with His Majesty very early, and Zhang Shixun's talent, knowledge and virtue were indeed superb.
"In addition, Shi Yushi Zhang often holds Zhengfang Jin, which can also be an alternative."
Zhang Pin, whose courtesy name is Jianzhi, was born in Pucheng, Jianzhou.
Looking at his surname and his place of origin, it is no surprise that he is also a member of the Pucheng Zhang family.
Zhang Pin is Zhang Wengu's eldest son, and Zhang Zijun is his great-grandfather.
Zhang Dexiang also belongs to Zhang Zijun's branch. He is Zhang Dexiang's fourth generation grandson. In terms of seniority, Zhang Pin is Zhang Dexiang's uncle.
Zhang Pin and Zhang Dexiang belonged to the same clan and had a very close relationship. Later, Zhang Pin's grandson, Zhang Jie (jie), was able to supplement his position with favor because of Zhang Dexiang.
In fact, if we talk about the popularity of later generations, Zhang Dexiang must be higher than Zhang Pin. After all, Zhang Dexiang is the first prime minister of the Fujian people.
But if you look at it now, Zhang Pin's reputation is higher than Zhang Dexiang.
In the third year of Kaibao's reign (970), Zhang Pin's father, Zhang Wengu, ranked first among Jinshi scholars in terms of literature, and he was the top scholar on that list.
Of course, in the third year of Kaibao's reign, Zhang Wenguying's Jinshi examination was not from the Song Dynasty, but from the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Li Yu, the late lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, removed the title of "Tang" himself in the fourth year of Kaibao (971) and changed it to the lord of Jiangnan.
In this way, Zhang Wengu was the last number one scholar in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Wengu was indeed a celebrity at that time, but Zhang Pin was famous all over the world, not because of his father.
His talents and learning were not bad. In the third year of Xianping (1000), Zhang Pin and his younger brother Zhang Di participated in the tribute examination at the same time, and both of them passed the provincial examination.
If nothing else happens, the two brothers will most likely be able to get there at the same time.
However, in that ranking, Song Zhenzong happened to decree that brothers could not pass the exam at the same time, so Zhang Pin, as the elder brother, voluntarily gave up his qualifications for the palace examination.
His younger brother Zhang Di lived up to his expectations and won the first place in one fell swoop.
Six years later, in the second year of Jingde (1005), Zhang Pin participated in the tribute examination again and won the first place in one fell swoop.
With three Jinshis from one family, father and son, the Pucheng Zhang family was instantly famous all over the world. Zhang Wengu, father and son, made indelible contributions to the development of the Pucheng Zhang family.
Therefore, whether in the government or the public, or within the Zhang family, Zhang Pin's status is far above Zhang Dexiang.
Zhang Dexiang was able to pass the imperial examination in the fifth year of Xianping (1002), which was also inseparable from the words and deeds of the Zhang Pin brothers.
However, Zhang Pin's political views are completely different from Zhang Dexiang.
Although Zhang Dexiang is from the south, his political leanings are more towards the northern group.
On the other hand, Zhang Pin has a closer relationship with Ding Wei, and is obviously the backbone of the Southern Group.
The uncle and nephew are from the same tribe and are very close by blood, but why are their political factions completely opposite?
In fact, this is not difficult to understand.
What aristocratic families like to do most is hedging their bets.
The Zhang clan, represented by Zhang Pin, is friendly to the Southern Group headed by Ding Wei.
Zhang Dexiang's preference for the Northern Group was completely due to a combination of circumstances. How could Zhang Dexiang have a famous cousin Yang Yi?
Taking advantage of Yang Yi's opportunity, switching to Northern Group would not only be less abrupt, but more reasonable.
However, as we all know, there are no good fruits to be gained from those who sit on the fence.
On this day in history, Ding Wei has long been deposed. As a backbone of Ding Wei's family, Zhang Pin in history has also been demoted to the supervisor of Raozhou's liquor tax.
Not only that, with the fall of Ding Wei, Zhang Pin and other members of the Zhang clan also moved away from Pucheng to Suzhou.
The trees fell and the hozens scattered, and Ding Wei's downfall also made the Pucheng Zhang family choose a strong man to cut off his wrists.
Members of the Zhang Pin family took the initiative to cut ties with the family and chose to go to other states to spread their business.
It wasn't until Zhang Pin's grandson Zhang Kai became an official that Zhang Pin's branch began to recover again.
At that time, it was already the Yuanyou reign of Zhe Zong (1086-1094). It took sixty years and three generations of efforts to get rid of the influence of standing in the wrong team.
The consequences for three generations show how tragic the consequences of failure in struggle can be.
"Zhang frequency?"
"But brother and friend Gong Zhangpin?"
Regarding Zhang Pin's story, Li Jie naturally knew it well, and he obviously asked knowingly.
"Exactly this person."
"good."
Li Jie nodded: "Zhang's father and son are three Jinshi in the same school. They are indeed a good story for a while. The brothers are humble and give way to the younger ones, which adds even more color to this good story."
"What is this person's current position?"
"The last mission was to know Xuanzhou. Now, Zhang Pin happens to be waiting in the capital."
"Add him to Longtuge to be appointed, and order him to pass the palace examination."
The title of Longtuge to be made is just an honorary title. It has neither a position nor an official to guard it. Its status is probably under the title of Zhizhi.
His duties are probably that of royal advisor.
Li Jie's promotion to Zhangpin's official position was not done casually, but was done to show the Northern Group.
He wanted to see how the northern scholars would act like monsters.
