In fact, Shuntian Fuyin didn't really want to name Shengyuan.
Now Shengyuan has basically seen the prototype of going sideways. If she is allowed to get a small three yuan or six yuan and pass, she is afraid that she will fly sideways by then.
Of course, these are really not the reasons why he wants to hand over the case to others.
Although this little girl and her two companions have been finding jobs for his Shuntian Mansion in recent years, haven't they also brought real political achievements to Shuntian Mansion?
Although we are not strangers to each other, we still have some friendships after going back and forth.
He won't block the little girl's path to success.
Mainly because it is the first scientific examination with girls participating in it, so many eyes from the imperial court, Jianghu and temples are watching!
As the initiator of the imperial examination for women, His Majesty naturally hopes that the girls will achieve outstanding results and that as many as possible will be included in the Jinshi list, the better.
Don't talk about the sixth grade and the third grade. In the eyes of kings of all dynasties, it is a good sign that a wise king is in power.
If this auspicious omen is given to the girl, it is basically a warning to the people that God approves of the Holy Spirit's move. If any courtiers object later, they may not just refute the Emperor.
But this is not what the cabinet ministers want to see happen.
Therefore, he knew very well that if Sheng Yuan took the top of the government case again, someone would probably give him some advice in the subsequent court examination.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Yan Xuezheng, the inspector in charge of Shuntian Prefecture. This young grand master looked elegant, but he was very scholarly. Others often joked that he was more suitable to be a censor in the Imperial Palace.
Therefore, I am looking for someone to do tricks, but I am afraid that I will not find this person. The adults in the court have always been proficient in the art of "picking the softest persimmons", but in the end, the errand will still fall on him.
In this case, he might as well give the head of the government case to someone else.
First of all, since Xiao Sanyuan cannot be given to Shengyuan, don't give her more hope.
After winning two cases in a row, who wouldn't have high hopes for the case?
Secondly, it frees him from guilt and entanglement.
If he chooses Sheng Yuan to be the leader of the government, he will have to fight against his own conscience unless Sheng Yuan is really outperformed by others during the two trials. , but also to control the inner yearning and impulse to collect all the small three yuan.
Shuntianfu Yin lamented that it is difficult to be an official, and it is even more difficult to be an official who selects talents in a place where the firepower of both sides meet.
After feeling sorry for himself for a moment, Shuntian Fu Yin set his sights on the case in Ping County.
As for the case leader in Anxian County, Shuntian Prefecture Yin automatically excluded it.
Although it was very convenient for the girl to be the culprit, and it was justified by the emperor and the courtiers, this move directly offended Mr. Cen, and the gain was completely outweighed by the loss.
Of course, the performance rankings in the formal lectures also depend on the academic and political performance.
"The children in Cen's works are too well-behaved, and their words lack some liveliness and agility." Yan Xuezheng whispered to Shuntian Fuyin, "The poem is a good poem, but it lacks a little bit of meaning and rhyme, but it is still very good."
Shuntian Fuyin nodded and followed his words: "The children in Cen'an's poem are too mature."
"As for Mr. Cui from Ping County..." Yan Xuezheng shook his head, "He's a bit ingenious. His words are too colorful and there are too many allusions. At a glance, you can tell that this student is devoted to his studies. , Sure enough, I couldn’t hear what was going on outside the window, and I never lowered my head to amuse the children.”
At the end, he smiled to himself.
It's hard for the governor of Shuntian to disagree with what he said about studying politics.
Even if he hoped that Cui Jianshou would be better than Shengyuan, he could not go against his will and say that his poems were better than those of Luo and An counties.
"Then what do you think of Ningxian County Chief's work?" Shuntian Mansion felt that the poems of this student with the same surname as him were acceptable.
"Master Chen, isn't this your nephew?" Yan Xuezheng said with a smile.
Shuntian Prefecture Yin quickly waved his hand: "Master Yan, don't joke, I don't know him!"
He said with a smile: "Although we may have been from the same family five hundred years ago, this talented person is indeed not from our clan."
Yan Xuezheng laughed: "I'm just joking, Mr. Chen, don't take it seriously."
Shuntian Prefecture Yin knew what he was doing. He crossed Chen's poems and held the poems on Tongxian's case in one hand and the poems on Yongxian's case in the other. He said with a smile: "Bu'an's and Tong's poems are good. They all have great words."
Yan Xuezheng nodded: "It's very good, but the final touch of Tong Benshou's poem is about the suffering of farming. Although the intention is very profound, it is a little off topic.
As for the poem at the top of the desk... there are too many descriptions of children's games, so that the child becomes a foil, and the characteristics of the child cannot be seen in the poem. "
"What Master Yan said is absolutely true." After hearing what the great master said, Shuntian Prefecture Yin read two more poems, and his mood was different from before.
"It seems that the top case in this case will be taken by Luo County."
Yan Xuezheng asked with a smile: "What do you think, Mr. Chen?"
"Of course I have no objection." Shuntian Fuyin sighed in his heart, but smiled on his face, as if he and Yan Xuezheng had thought of something.
"Then let's give her the top spot?" Yan Xuezheng said, holding a red pen to mark the Shengyuan test paper.
Shuntianfu Yin stroked his forehead, he really didn't want to embarrass himself!
"Mr. Chen, in the next four sessions, I plan to assess the candidates' questions on the Four Books, Five Classics, Strategies, and Fu respectively. I'm afraid that the subsequent competitions will be exciting!"
Shuntian Fuyin felt that Yan Xue had political intentions, but when he looked carefully, he found that the other party's expression was casual, as if he just said what he thought and had no other intention.
"Although the six chief criminals seem to be worthy of being called talents, but..."
When Shuntian Prefecture Yin picked up the tea cup and drank lightly, Yan Xuezheng said again: "Since we are in the government examination, we should start over. Don't pay too much attention to the results of the previous county examination. If there are latecomers who come up, it will be a gathering of talents. We I can only be happy if I wait.”
His words moved Shuntian Fuyin, and he felt that there were still many opportunities, and he felt much more relaxed.
…
After the first exam, Sheng Yuan and Anyu Lu Sheng left the examination room. The three of them were not in a hurry to leave. They got into their carriage, opened the curtains, and looked out with three heads crowded together.
"Sister Yuan, are you three waiting for us?" Ouyang Ling got into the car panting and laughed immediately when she saw the three of them.
But he was answered with three "boos".
He couldn't help but feel curious when he saw the three Sheng Yuan turned their heads to signal him to be silent, then all turned around again and continued to look out of the car window.
"Who on earth do you want to see!" Ouyang Ling leaned over and looked at the candidates who were coming out one after another, wondering, "What are the candidates in your examination room so good-looking?! Who haven't you seen before?"
"Come out! Come out!"
Ouyang Ling didn't hear the answer, but saw An Yu excitedly patting Lu Sheng's shoulder and shouting in a low voice.
Sheng Yuan and Lu Sheng both looked outside after hearing this.
"What's so special about this girl?" Ouyang Ling stretched her head and looked out through the gap left by the three heads in front of the window, and saw a pretty girl walking down the steps carrying a test basket.
