Chapter 441 Someone wants to make trouble!
The reading time stipulated by the imperial court is two days. On the first day, after discussing the thickest unknown test paper, the examiners read their own papers without interfering with each other.

The rest of the time passed peacefully, and when it got dark, all the bosses went out of the palace and returned to the Ministry of Rites to rest.

Everyone knows that the second day's ranking is the key.

Huo Tao, the censor of the left deputy capital, immediately got into the room of Zhang Fujing, the chief assistant, and said, "Keeping a tiger is a trouble, and the legacy is endless!"

Although no names were named, everyone knew who it was.

Zhang Fujing replied in a very structured manner: "The tiger is in the mountains and forests, and it is difficult for us to use it. It is better to let him enter the officialdom, just like a tiger in a cage. With restraint and fetters, it is beneficial to us."

Huo Tao said impatiently: "Then don't let him enter the second class! Put it at the end of the third class, and he can be dismissed by an eighth-rank idle official!

Believe me, don't give him any chance, otherwise we will die without a place to die! "

Huo Tao's tone of teaching people how to do things makes Zhang Fujing a little displeased. You, Huo Tao, only know how to fight here, but the pressure is all his Zhang Fujing's fault!

Then he replied: "The chief assistant is me, I make my own decision!"

Huo Tao was deeply disappointed by this, "How about your courage, Zhang Fujing, to bear the accusations of thousands of people and fight against the entire imperial court?

You have defeated the courage of the five chief assistants Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, Mao Ji, Fei Hong, and Yang Yiqing in succession!
But now, you, Zhang Fujing, are actually willing to compromise with a young man who has not entered the officialdom? "

Zhang Shoufu only felt that the real horse was standing and talking without back pain!
Can't help but say something yin and yang: "If there is a mistake, the responsibility lies with the chief assistant, so what can happen to you, Huo Tao?"

Huo Tao said angrily, "I want Ruofu and Ruofu to take Meiji out of the west gate of the capital to visit Haidian, how can I get it!"

Seeing Huo Tao go out, Zhang Shoufu didn't stay with any guests, so he could only sigh secretly.There are 25 and [-] people in the palace examination, you Huo Tao only stared at that one, the layout is too small.

After Huo Tao left, Wang Tingxiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, came, which surprised Zhang Shoufu.

Could it be that he came to plead for someone Qin?You, Wang Tingxiang, still have the face to come to your door?Is it because Shoufu's fist is not hard enough to kill you?

Wang Tingxiang chatted nonchalantly and said, "I heard that Shou Kui has been sick recently, so he should pay attention to health preservation. I have some qi-tonifying prescriptions here. You might as well try them."

Zhang Shoufu: "."

Wang Tingxiang said again in a rambling manner: "If the chief minister can't hold on, then Mr. Fang Ge will be in charge of the cabinet.

But Mr. Fang Ge doesn't do anything, and his ears are soft, so he is easy to be used by others, so the first thing to do is to take care of your health! "

Zhang Fujing sneered a few times, and said sarcastically: "If you can keep yourself safe, you can let me live a few more years!"

Wang Tingxiang laughed, got up and left.

After a while, Zhang Fujing, who was holding the prescription, realized something. What Wang Tingxiang hinted was that Fang Xianfu and Huo Tao, the secondary assistants, were both from Nanhai County, Guangdong!A true fellow countryman!
What a clumsy separation, Zhang Shoufu couldn't help snorting, they were friends who formed a friendship together, how could they be separated just because of a few words?

But before falling asleep at night, Zhang Shoufu couldn't help but wonder, did Huo Tao mean that?If he fell down, wouldn't it be more beneficial for Huo Tao to replace Fang Xianfu as the chief assistant?
On the next day, that is, the fourth day of April, the ministers who read the papers came to Wenyuan Pavilion again.

Today is the day to determine the final ranking of the 25 [-] people, and tomorrow is the grand roll call ceremony!
All the test papers that should be read have been read yesterday, and all the examiners gathered in the middle hall of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Except for Zhang Shoufu who did not divide the papers yesterday, every examiner handed in two first-class papers, a total of 28 papers.

Including the thickest test paper set first, and another one selected by the first assistant, the total is thirty first-class papers.

The cabinet will select the top three candidates from the [-] first-class papers to be presented to the emperor.

If the imperial examination is likened to climbing a pyramid, this is the last spire.

In the three-year imperial examination cycle, millions of people in Ming Dynasty participated in the boy's examination, hundreds of thousands of people participated in the Taoist examination, and tens of thousands of people participated in the rural examination.

In the end, 4000 people participated in the Jinke Examination, and 25 of them participated in the Palace Examination.

Among the 25 and 30 people, only [-] people entered the first class, and the final three tripods will be decided today.

After Shoufu Zhang Fujing, University Scholars Fang Xianfu, Li Shi, and Zhai Luan went through the first-class test papers symbolically, the powerful Shoufu selected three test papers, which were tentatively designated as the top three, and the other three university scholars habitually acted as decorations .

Then the three test papers were circulated among the rest of the examiners, and under Zhang Shoufu's staring eyes, no one raised any objections.

Even Xia Yan, the chief political opponent of Shoufu, the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Officials, did not speak.

Among the top three test papers, one is a relative of Master Xia's only son-in-law!
The three test papers submitted to the emperor were finalized, but these three test papers are not ranked now.

After the emperor has read the three test papers, the royal pen will determine the ranking of the first and third, which symbolizes the selection of the emperor.

Then another ten backup papers were arranged. In case the emperor was not satisfied with the first three test papers, he could change them from the backup papers.

Under normal circumstances, these ten backup files are basically No. 1 to No. 10, the most eye-catching rankings except for the three tripods.

The [-]-word test paper that everyone was paying attention to was listed as the tenth in the preparation paper.

This ranking is very good and subtle, which fully reflects the political wisdom of all parties and Zaifu's consideration of the situation.

It’s really not low to say that it’s low, No. 10 in the second class is already eye-catching enough, and it’s also included in the preparation papers of the Three Tripods, so it won’t be said that talented people are rejected!
The height is not too high, after all, it has not reached the top five of the three tripods and the second, and it can barely maintain the dignity of the first assistant.

And everyone is not sure whether the emperor likes or dislikes this kind of showy text.

Anyway, this ranking is not high or low, even if the emperor pays attention, it is enough to explain!
good for everyone!
The rest of the test papers are roughly divided into second-class and third-class, and the readers will take turns to fill in the rankings one by one according to the order of official positions.

Until this time, all test papers will still not be opened to see the names.

Near noon, after the rankings other than Sanding Jia were finished, fifteen examiners held the first three test papers and went to the Wenhua Hall to the north of Wenyuan Pavilion to meet the emperor and let the emperor decide the final ranking of the top three. .

In this link, Gu Dingchen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, as the Zhigong Juguan, has to report the overall situation of the imperial examination to Emperor Jiajing, which is also very procedural.

I just listened to Gu Dingchen's official kneeling performance: "At that time, there were 4000 people who were tested by the world's soldiers. It's amazing. After three rounds, the best ones will be judged. Three hundred and twenty-five people will be ranked first."

The other bigwigs have been highly nervous for two days, and after listening to such long-winded clichés, they will inevitably feel drowsy.

But there is no way, the officialdom is like this, the form always has to go.

". Among them is the young Qin Dewei who made it to the list at the age of 17 years old, which is unique since the Jiajing Dynasty!"

Fog Grass!From the first assistant Zhang Fujing to the Tianguan Master Xia, to the minister of the Ministry of Industry who makes soy sauce, all are not sleepy anymore!

Everyone is an old bureaucrat, and it has never happened before that a certain candidate was mentioned alone at this time!
Everyone looked at Gu Dingchen who was still reporting in amazement, are you trying to make trouble?

You are a cowardly and cowardly minister who has always been inconspicuous, why are you making trouble like this?The relationship between you and Qin Dewei is out of reach!
What's even more confusing is, what exactly do you, Gu Dingchen, want to do?

　make up for yesterday
