The examination paper will take 20 days to be approved.

The chief examiners of this examination are Zhang Yuanzhen and Yang Tinghe.

Twenty days later, each room selected its manager and presented it to the examiner.

Waiting for the final ranking to be determined.

This time, the top five classics, no surprise, are all southern volumes.

Liang Chu said happily: "There are many talents in Nanjuan, but I think this one is the best among them."

The imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty were divided into northern and southern examinations, and the proportion of admissions was also different.

The literary style of Beizhili is not very prosperous, but the admission rate accounts for more than 30% of them.

Less than 70% of the remaining candidates are admitted to all candidates outside Beijing Zhili.

Although there are many places, there are also more people taking the exam.

If there are too many people taking the exam, the involution will naturally become serious.

As a result, many provinces with major imperial examinations have emerged, basically occupying the forefront of the imperial examinations all year round.

Even though Beizhili admitted more students, their ranking was still not as good as those from the major imperial examination provinces.

The two examiners this time were both from southern imperial examination provinces.

Seeing that Liang Chu admired this paper so much, the two of them picked it up and started reading it.

"Huh? This article is neatly written and has a novel idea. It is indeed as Mr. Liang said. Even Nan Juan, who has many talented people, can indeed be selected as the leader."

After Zhang Yuanzhen finished speaking, Yang Tinghe also looked at it.

"It's really quite impressive."

After Zhang Yuanzhen finished reading, Yang Tinghe took a closer look.

Zhang Yuanzhen on the side looked at the Jingkui papers from the other four rooms.

After reading it, it seemed that I didn't find the paper I wanted.

Thinking back to the one just now, it doesn’t really look like it.

"Is it possible that this Jie Yuan really fell into the middle of the roll?"

He paused, then searched through the scroll again, and found one or two that might be similar.

I frowned and looked at it, not sure yet.

As the examiner, it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Yuanzhen to say that he has no selfish motives at all.

He was entrusted by someone to put the papers suspected of being the Marquis of Dingxi as far back as possible in this examination.

If it is certain, it is best to depose him.

Of course Zhang Yuanzhen did not agree.

He has the imperial mandate to select talents for the Ming Dynasty in this talent promotion ceremony.

It is absolutely impossible to risk your own future and make such a small move.

But he also knows.

Last year, Dingxihou, although he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, he also offended many people without his knowledge.

The high price of charcoal in Beijing caused by honeycomb briquettes made it unsalable for a time this winter.

What’s more, proposals such as converting the canal into a sea after the sea ban and raising commercial taxes have made many people hate it.

Zhang Yuanzhen held a high position as the minister of Taichang Temple.

It is impossible for him to do whatever others say.

Besides, he also has a passion for talent.

What he had to do was confirm Zhao Ce's paper.

If possible, push his ranking slightly to the back.

At best, it would be a painless test to pass the test. Such a result would not only allow him to pass the general examination, but also prevent others from specifically picking on Zhao Ce.

After all, if you really want to find fault, there is Wu Jing Kui’s article on it.

This is also for Zhao Ce's good.

The Marquis of Dingxi has a title and has just learned about Yuan Dynasty. If he is ranked first this time, I am afraid that instead of being in the limelight for a while, he will become a thorn in everyone's side.

Without real power, Ming Dynasty would be turned upside down. If we have power, what's the point?

In addition, His Majesty is about to implement new policies recently, and many people are worried that they will be implicated.

A dangerous person like Dingxihou must be killed early.

Zhang Yuanzhen thought like this and read through Wu Jingkui's article again.

"It still doesn't look like..."

Zhao Ce is a disciple of Li Dongyang, and his writing should have the style of his teacher.

But students all over the world now take Li Dongyang’s policy questions as a model. M.

It's really hard to find.

Zhang Yuanzhen had read Zhao Cebei's examination paper.

But even if I've seen it, it's hard to recognize it.

Seeing that Zhang Yuanzhen seemed to be searching for something, Yang Tinghe asked curiously:

"Master Zhang, do you think there is something wrong with Wu Jingkui's article?"

Zhang Yuanzhen glanced at him and suddenly had an idea.

Thinking that Zhao Ce was one of the lecturers in the East Palace, Yang Tinghe approved many sermons for him.

Yang Tinghe must be able to read Zhao Ce's article at a glance, right?

But they couldn't say this clearly in front of everyone.

He could only smile and say vaguely: "I am just thinking that I don't know who the Beijuan examinee of Wu Jing Kui Middle School is."

"To be able to stand out from all the talents in the world makes Master Liang give him such a high evaluation."

Isn't it?

Other people's evaluations can only be written in four words at most.

Liang Chu had two sentences to comment on this examination paper.

Yang Tinghe took a look at the test paper, smiled and said, "Not to mention Mr. Zhang, I also think the writing style of this paper is quite fresh."

Listening to Yang Tinghe's words, it seems that he can't see...

This is probably not true anymore...

After all, the competition in the Southern Examination is fierce. Although Dingxihou achieved good results in the provincial examination.

But what he participated in was not Nanjuan after all.

Now that he is compared to others, there is nothing wrong with him.

Since you can't win the lottery, you don't need to worry about it.

Zhang Yuanzhen felt relieved, nodded, and discussed the ranking with Yang Tinghe.

Since Wu Jing Kui's articles have been selected, Hui Yuan will be born from them.

After careful discussion with him, Yang Tinghe finally decided to rank Liang Chu as the first.

It’s not that this test paper really ranks first among the Five Classics.

This is the only policy among the Five Classics, and the practical writing really amazed them.

Most of the literati in the Ming Dynasty paid more attention to ideas than practice.

Candidates who can write such practical things will be highly successful, and they will really be people who do practical things for the court in the future.

There are a lot of people who write good articles, but there are very few who can actually do practical things!

As the mentor who selected this person, if this person can really achieve some real political achievements.

Then others will praise them too!

Since Yang Tinghe has made a decision, Zhang Yuanzhen has no objection.

He also thought about this level.

After confirming that this was not Dingxihou's paper, he felt relieved.

I simply wrote a high evaluation after the test paper, and then ranked this paper as the first.

After all rankings are determined.

The examiners first removed the seal of Wu Jing Kui.

"..."

"South Zhili Gu Dingchen..."

"Guangdong Chief Minister Si Zhan Ruoshui..."

"Zhejiang Chief Executive Si Dong Qi..."

Wu Jingkui's papers were opened one by one.

When I saw the last paper, it was also the paper that they jointly recommended as the first place.

Zhang Yuanzhen looked at those two words and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"This enemy!"
Chapter completed!
