Shen Yuan sneered: "I have nothing to explain. If Mr. Su wants to file a complaint, just go ahead."
Shen Yuan's intention was already very clear, that is, he would never follow Su Zaixing's wishes.
You are the examiner under the emperor's orders, not the examiner. All you can do is assist the examiner in maintaining good discipline in the examination room. The ranking of papers is the right of the examiner, and Shen Yuan will never re-rank according to Su Zaixing's request.
Su Zaixing had been exhausted physically and mentally these past few days. He folded the note he had written and put it in his arms. He had no intention of giving his rearranged ranking to Shen Yuan.
"Master Shen, you are wrong. This Censor does not want to make decisions for you, the examiner, but the Holy Emperor appointed me as the examiner. I have the right to inspect not only the candidates, but also the examiners. Everyone here is inspected by this Censor. man of."
"Now that the inspection is over, out of friendship with my colleagues, I reminded Mr. Shen that as for this ranking, please forgive me for not being able to give it to you. I will return to Beijing immediately and report to Your Majesty the complete situation of the Yunzhou Prefectural Examination. Please make your decision, Your Majesty!”
Shen Yuan smiled coldly and said, "Master Su, why are you leaving in a hurry? Why don't you wait until the scholars outside the government office completely fall out before leaving?"
Su Zaixing was too lazy to argue with Shen Yuan anymore, so he turned around and walked away.
Shen Yuan and several teachers were extremely angry. The examiner actually arrived before the final results were announced. Instead of reflecting on his late arrival, he blamed the examiners for ranking problems.
This guy came here in a hurry and disgusted everyone, so he patted his butt and left. Several teachers stayed with him for another three days. When he left, Su Zaixing didn't even raise his eyelids. It was really rude.
From time to time, the shouts of the scholars outside the government office could be heard in his ears. Shen Yuan was so angry that he couldn't even eat. This Su Zaixing came to stir up trouble, and then left without doing anything, leaving a lot of mess behind.
Even if Shen Yuan wanted to compromise at this time, it would be too late to readjust according to Su Zaixing's request. Besides, Su Zaixing had no intention of telling Shen Yuan his ranking.
"The rankings will be published according to our original rankings, without any adjustments!"
Several of the instructors sighed and could only secretly scold Su Zaixing for being troublesome while writing the list.
Finally, when the scholars gathered in front of the government office became more and more excited, the list was finally posted.
The first place leader is Luo Jinglong, a scholar from Shimen Township in Dinggai County, the second place is Cui Gaoxuan, a scholar from Tangxiang Village in Lujia County, and the third place is Zeng Zijin, a scholar from Pingxi Township in Panling County...
Who is ranked can basically be determined based on the rankings in the previous exams.
Seeing that the rankings had not changed much, the scholars gradually calmed down the noise.
The governor also sent someone out to explain at the right time: "Students, this time the results were released because the governor withstood the pressure from above and argued with the examiners sent from Beijing. They refused to give in for three days, and in the end we still issued the results." The judges of the examination hall published the results without compromising with the examiner!"
“We don’t acknowledge a single word of the list revised by the inspector who came to Beijing!”
After hearing this, all the scholars couldn't help but cheered.
At the same time, I felt guilty for my behavior in the past three days.
"Fu Yin and Master Jingxue are really rare and honest officials. I never expected that they would have to endure so much pressure in the past three days."
"Yeah, I'm so confused. I actually made trouble in front of the government office. Oh, I'm so ashamed."
"Stop talking, I shout louder than anyone else, and now I want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it!"
Zhao Cheng crowded at the door of the government office and looked at the list carefully. Counting from the beginning, his name was ranked nineteenth.
He secretly thought that it was good that he finally passed the state examination. The state examination had really given him a headache these past few days because the questions were too large. In order to gain time, he had to answer the questions as quickly as possible and did not have much time to think.
Fortunately, Zheng Yucheng had laid a solid foundation for him, and Zheng Yucheng's questions were very accurate. Even though Shen Yuan was the examiner for the first time taking the government examination, Zheng Yucheng still hit the three policy questions very accurately.
With this foundation, you don't need to think too much when answering questions. You just need to write quickly according to the answers in your memory.
If this were not the case, it is very likely that Zhao Cheng would not be able to complete the answer based on his knowledge base.
In any case, although there were some twists and turns in the government examination, he finally passed it. From the moment the results were released, Zhao Cheng even had a formal official status, called Gongsheng.
Although Gongsheng could not yet become an official, if he really failed the provincial examination, he could still be a staff member.
Of course, if you are willing to condescend, you can still be an official.
With the status of Gongsheng, he was recognized by the Chen court and qualified to participate in the provincial examination.
The "province" of the provincial examination is not an administrative province, but a ministerial province. The names in each dynasty are also different. In the Tang, Song, Jin, and Yuan Dynasties, it was called the Provincial Examination, and in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was called the Hui Examination.
The provincial examination will be the last threshold to embark on an official career. Once you pass it, the future will be smooth.
An Dongjun squeezed through the crowd with a flushed face: "Brother Zhao, I'm hit! I'm hit!"
Zhao Cheng also saw An Dongjun's name on the list, ranked 59th.
A total of 60 people were admitted to the Yunzhou Prefectural Examination this time, and An Dongjun ranked 59th, almost falling to the bottom.
Fortunately, he finally passed. An Dongjun was very excited. The county examination and the prefecture examination were separated by more than a month, and they were both passed in one go. He no longer had to go to Qinghe County to be looked down upon.
Zhao Cheng waved his hand: "Let's go, we won't come back until we get drunk!"
"Haha! If you don't get drunk, you won't come back!" An Dongjun wished he could just die drunk in Yunzhou.
The most famous restaurant in Yulin Mansion is Qingjiang Restaurant. Zhengdian, a joint venture between government and private companies, is a large restaurant with three or four buildings connected together.
Qingjiang Tower not only provides food and accommodation, but also is a government-run wine warehouse, producing and selling wine.
Because the wine brewed in the government-run wine warehouse uses high-quality grains and no expense is spared, the wine has a clear color and a mellow taste, and is highly praised by wine lovers.
On the other side of the wine store is a restaurant. There is a food sign in the building. Guests can order whatever they want. Behind the restaurant and the wine store, there is another row of houses, which is the accommodation. It is also a three-story building, and the interior is divided into Guest rooms are for people to rest and live.
Because Qingjiang Building is relatively close to the examination room, Zhao Cheng and An Dongjun stayed at Qingjiang Building on the day they first arrived in Yulin Mansion. It not only provides accommodation, but also provides food nearby, which is very convenient.
After the two of them left the gate of the government office, they had to go back to Qingjiang Tower to wait.
Because when filling in the address of temporary residence before the exam, the address of Qingjiang Tower was left. When the person who announced the good news came later, he would definitely come to Qingjiang Tower first.
The first person in this government examination is Luo Jinglong, a scholar from Shimen Township, Dinggai County, the second person is Cui Gaoxuan, and the third person is Zeng Zijin.
Without exception, these three people are not from Yulin County.
