After the palace examination, all the papers were collected and sent to the Mifeng official for anonymity.
Then it will be transferred to Chengqing Hall by the scroll official.
In the Chengqing Hall, the cabinet ministers and the six ministers served as reviewers.
Soon, the test papers were divided into three grades.
Only the first-class rolls will be sent to the imperial court.
Otherwise, the emperor would not be able to finish reading more than 300 papers even if he stayed up late.
Each marking officer selects and sends 1-2 copies, and finally about ten copies are sent to the examiner.
At this time, the emperor can make the final ranking according to his personal favorability.
If you are not satisfied with it, you can also ask for an increase in volume.
After all, the emperor is the one who asks the question, and he is the only one who knows best what he wants.
This avoids the embarrassment of the "original author didn't even think of it" series.
Emperor Jingshun took the first-class paper and began to review it.
The top portion made his eyes light up!
Be solid and implement practical policies.
No bells and whistles, just straight to the point.
Looking further down is even more amazing!
It is certainly not a fluke that this paper can stand out.
In addition to the central idea being clear and pragmatic.
The way he solved the problem later made Emperor Jingshun even more amazing.
To sum up, it is roughly as follows:
The court paid attention to it and raised awareness.
Selection and recommendation, strict management.
Education and training to improve quality.
Clearly distinguish merits and demerits and improve mechanisms.
Promote the rule of virtue and improve the rule of law,
Loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and cultivate soldiers.
Strengthen supervision and implement comprehensively.
Take history as a mirror and summarize and reflect.
…
A dozen articles in a row made Zhang Songyue, the chief minister of the cabinet who reviewed the papers at the time, feel like a confidant.
After reading it, the other court officials unanimously agreed to recommend it as a first-class volume.
And put it on top.
However, Emperor Jingshun had been in power for many years and was already past the age of literary youth.
The most important thing in his daily life is practical work.
He actually knew a lot of things in his mind, but lacked concrete expressions.
Now that I see this paper, I feel that it is his common governance method.
It was also summed up one by one!
The moment he finished reading it, Emperor Jingshun sighed.
This is the emperor’s government and the emperor’s heart!
However, given the size of his city, it would not be too revealing.
After reading them all, Emperor Jingshun became more and more confident.
He wrote and wrote:
First place!
Then he held up the scroll and praised: "This scroll should be the leader!"
After circulating it to all the princes in the court, they all agreed.
They have all seen it before, and they still can't help but admire it when they see it again.
"This man is indeed a man of extraordinary talent. What is rare is that he is practical-minded and the whole article is based on the word "practical"."
Zhang Songyue, the chief minister, praised with relief.
He even felt that he had a successor.
But just when they were all excited, Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace, arrived.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty. The Supreme Emperor asked this old servant to come over and take a look. He said that although the talent promotion ceremony is important, it should not tire out His Majesty's body."
When Emperor Jingshun heard this, he quickly raised his hand towards the east.
"Thank you so much for your love, Father!"
Dai Quan took a few steps closer to the imperial court and whispered, "The Emperor also asked me to deliver a message."
"I will wait patiently for my father's will."
Emperor Jingshun quickly bowed slightly to show respect.
Dai Quan covered his mouth with his hands to prevent the princes in the palace from hearing.
"Feng Yuan, a member of the Jiangning County family, is related to the Jia family, but he once reprimanded the elders of the Jia family in private. This matter reached the Supreme Emperor."
"Your Majesty, you also know that this old man values filial piety the most, so let me say it, we must teach these people a lesson."
Emperor Jingshun was unhappy, but his face remained calm.
He probed: "What do you mean, father, to depose him?"
"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. There is no such thing as being dismissed from the imperial examination."
Dai Quan shook his head repeatedly and said: "The Supreme Emperor only said that he should learn a lesson, and nothing else."
This is both acting and standing.
If you come here during the palace examination rankings, you will either be deposed or demoted.
Emperor Jingshun pretended not to understand and still asked: "How should I deal with it?"
Dai Quan smiled softly and said, "How dare I say anything, this old slave? It's you, the Holy One, who makes the decision."
Emperor Jingshun looked at Dai Quan for a while, until he felt that Dai Quan was a little uncomfortable, and then nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
Although father and son are not as distinct as outsiders think.
However, as a Nine-Five Supreme.
But there is someone pooping on the head.
This feeling is really unpleasant.
Even if it's his biological father.
Even the excitement that Emperor Jingshun evoked from the Zhuangyuan scroll disappeared at this time.
"General Manager Dai will report back to my father on my behalf, and I will give him an explanation."
No matter what, the Supreme Emperor's face will eventually be given.
Presumably, being demoted and admitted as a tribute scholar would not cause much repercussions.
Let’s have a good discussion with all the gentlemen present!
"Old slave, please resign!"
Dai Quan achieved his goal and said no more.
Unlike Emperor Jingshun, who was in a waning mood, all the princes present were still applauding the stunning performance of the No. 1 Scholar Volume.
After all the papers were arranged in order, the chamberlain began to unpack them.
Emperor Jingshun took a look at Yijia and the others first.
I saw a name tag written on the front page of the first place.
In the palace examination, the official was Feng Yuan.
Next is age and place of origin.
Eighteen years old, Jiangning County, Yingtian Prefecture, Jiangnan.
Next is the resume.
A sixth-year member of Invesco.
Inveshun ranked first in the nine-year provincial examination.
Invesco ranks first in the ten-year trial.
Next is the situation of three generations of Feng Yibo's ancestors.
Seeing this, Emperor Jingshun became happy again.
He blurted out and whispered: "It's actually three yuan and the third place!"
No wonder he was so happy.
This matter is a legend in every dynasty and generation.
wrong!
Emperor Jingshun felt there was something wrong, so he looked back again.
Waiting to see where the name is.
Feng Yuan!
Isn't this the person the Emperor was talking about?
what to do?
Emperor Jingshun looked bad.
He could not disobey the Supreme Emperor, nor did he want to demote the number one scholar to the next level.
After thinking about it, he made up his mind.
That is……
It both descends and does not descend.
Those who are demoted are ranked, those who are not demoted are ranked.
In this way, even if the Supreme Emperor asked, he would have an explanation.
This is also the method he has used most in the past ten years.
compromise.
Although frustrating, it is useful.
I am still young.
Emperor Jingshun could only think like this.
After using the spiritual victory method, Emperor Jingshun took the paper again.
On the top three papers, I made a few corrections.
Change the first name to the third name, just write a horizontal line above and below.
Although the middle horizontal line is too long, it does not affect the recognition.
The third place crosses out a cross and becomes the second place.
Presumably no one would mind improving their ranking, right?
The second place crosses out a line and becomes the first place.
Emperor Jingshun finally let himself go.
It may be the first time in history that the Zhubu has been altered like this.
Fortunately it's not in capital letters, otherwise I would have painted it all over.
Even more ugly.
The first armor has been decided, and the princes are not aware of the change.
They are also filling in the gold list with the names and place of birth information of the second and third best Jinshi.
Only one armor was left, and the emperor personally picked it up at the last moment.
Emperor Jingshun took over the gold list and wrote it.
But as he finished writing the list of top three, all the gentlemen who had just participated in the grading showed doubts.
Suddenly an old minister came forward to ask.
"I dare to ask Your Majesty! If Feng Yuan didn't win the first prize, how could he become the third best scholar?"
