Dusk falls.
In the Chongzheng Hall, there are still many scholars who are writing furiously.
Although the palace examination does not clearly stipulate the examination time, there is an iron rule that you must leave the palace before the palace gate is locked.
That is, before six o'clock in the afternoon, you need to hand in the answer sheet and then leave Miyagi.
It's almost five o'clock now, and the candlelight in the hall is already angry. Looking at the lit candlelight, the candidates who have not finished answering can't help but speed up.
Time passed slowly, and the candidates handed in their answer sheets one after another.
At this time, there were not many examples left in the examination room. To the naked eye, there were only about ten left.
Most of the candidates who are still in the examination room have one characteristic: they are relatively old, and one of them even has completely white temples.
Among this group of people, one person stood out.
This person looks to be in his thirties or forties. From his skin color, it can be seen that his family background should not be too bad.
In fact, this person can be regarded as a star person. You can basically know this person's reputation by asking around the capital.
This person is the famous Liu Sanbian!
A scheduler obviously recognized Liu Yong. Seeing that Liu Yong was still stranded in the hall, the scheduler could not help but walk to Liu Yong in the name of inspecting the examination room.
Then, he looked down.
Good guy!
Although he only took a rough look at it, the choreographer still frowned.
The editing officer's surname was Zhou, and he was named after he ranked second in the Xianping three-year ranking list. The number one scholar in that subject was none other than Chen Yaozi.
As the second best player in Xianping for three years, Zhou Qi's personal talent goes without saying.
A single glance was enough for him to judge Liu Yong's answer sheet.
If you ask him to comment, he will probably give an evaluation that is shallow in literature and science, and undoubtedly regressive.
The palace examination evaluation is roughly divided into five levels. To be more precise, it should be six levels.
The first class is one with excellent knowledge, pure rhetoric, outstanding and unique, and unparalleled.
The second class is those who are well-versed in talent and learning, sophisticated in arts and sciences, and can be regarded as high-ranking among the group.
The third level is those who can adopt arts and have good knowledge in arts and sciences.
The fourth class is a little less skilled in arts and proficient in arts and sciences.
The fifth grade is shallow in literature and science, and will undoubtedly decline.
As for the sixth class, those who did not take the exam, or were ignorant in arts and sciences, or committed taboos, were the ones who must be deposed.
In Zhou Qi's eyes, Liu Yong's policy was very close to that of the Sixth Class. Although it was not nonsense, it was full of flattery.
This person cannot live up to his reputation.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qi secretly shook his head and felt very emotional at the same time.
It was a good time for Liu Sanbian to catch up this time. If he were to switch to another discipline, he would probably not be able to get the first place based on his level of strategy.
But this time it was different.
In the morning, officials had just made a new ruling.
All the scholars who are eligible for this subject will be admitted as long as they do not commit any taboos!
In other words, if there were no examples of brain-twitching, then 300 new scholars would be born in this subject.
For the scholars of the world, not being deposed in the palace examination is undoubtedly benevolent and good governance.
But what is good for scholars is not necessarily good for the country.
After the officials ascended the throne, although they were determined to eliminate the disadvantages of three redundancies, they took too much time to take the throne, and even now they have achieved partial results.
But it's only part of it.
Three hundred Jinshi are indeed not many for the country.
However, if the number of candidates for each subject is greatly increased in the future, and students are not dismissed during the palace examination, the pressure will be great year after year.
After a while, Zhou Qi turned around and returned to Houshui Pavilion after completing his inspection.
Stepping into Houshui Pavilion, the examiners present greeted Zhou Qi one after another, but Zhou Qi's attitude was a little cold.
With a cold face and an indifferent expression, he responded to his colleague who was also the coordinator.
(ps: Like the provincial examination, the palace examination evaluation paper is also a three-level system. After the preliminary examiner and the repeat examiner evaluate it in sequence, it is then submitted to the arrangement officer for review.)
Zhou Qi's indifferent reaction to others was not because he had any grudges against these people. The one who really had grudges against him was Ding Wei.
Zhou Qi, who came from second place in the rankings, will certainly not be slow in his promotion.
During the reign of Zhenzong, he was already the deputy envoy to the Privy Council and was definitely one of the elders in the court.
It's a pity that he had always been on good terms with Kou Zhun. After Kou Zhun lost power, Ding Wei took the opportunity to dismiss him as a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs and go out to know the place.
The place where he went out for the first time was the same as Wang Zeng, and he went to Qingzhou.
However, Ding Wei did not let him go. Later, he was demoted several times, although his official position was promoted from Hubu Langzhong (from the sixth rank) to Taichang Shaoqing (the sixth rank).
】
But where he got the better of him was that he was getting more and more biased.
It wasn't until the beginning of this year that Zhou Qi was dropped from his place by Li Jie.
Nowadays, in addition to the honorary title of Bachelor of Longtuge, he also has the mission of Sendenwenguyuan.
In fact, Zhou Qi himself was very confused about this appointment.
Although Dengwen Drum Academy has the responsibility of accepting memorials and memorials from all civil and military officials as well as scholars and people.
All memorials and memorials that talk about the gains and losses of the government, public and private interests, military secrets, Chen Qi's favors, rectification of Xue's injustice, etc. can all be transmitted to the imperial court through Denwen Drum Courtyard.
Looking at these areas alone, the rights of Denwen Drum Court are not insignificant.
However, in the specific implementation process, it is actually just like that.
After all, Dengwen Drum Academy only has an acceptance agency in the capital.
In this era of poor transportation and difficulties in long-distance migration, it is no less difficult for ordinary people outside the capital to travel to Beijing than to travel around the world.
In addition, ordinary people outside the capital may not know that Denwen Drum Yuan is an institution.
Secondly, Denwen Drum Academy also has a particularly annoying rule.
Officials who have been demoted are not allowed to appeal through the Wenwen Drum Court or the Wenwen Procuratorate.
What's even more stupid is that the prisoner himself can't, but his family can beat the drum and surrender.
All we can say is that the person who came up with this rule must be a genius.
In this way, the number of victims in Denwen Drum Courtyard was greatly reduced.
Finally, there is another point. The original intention of setting up Dengwen Drum Yuan is more of a symbolic meaning. Looking at the cases accepted by Dengwen Drum Yuan.
There are only a handful of cases where people have sued officials!
You may not see one case a year.
Therefore, in general, the Civil Service and Inspection Service is a good place to raise one's career. The official has a high social status, has a leisurely job, and his salary is not low.
Having more money, less work, and being close to home is probably the ideal working situation for future generations.
In fact, not only Zhou Qi himself did not understand, but others also did not understand Zhou Qi's transfer issue.
Who told Li Jie not to give any hints?
Li Jie's purpose of bringing Zhou Qi back was certainly not to let him fish for fish.
After the war in the Liao and Song Dynasties stabilized, he would begin to expand the scope of responsibilities of the Denwen Drum Academy.
Expansion is a must!
For such a large territory, there are only Denwen Drum Courtyards in the capital, but their number is far from enough.
