Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 637
"Master Jiang, isn't it time to rank now? Take out these test papers and compare them with the original papers before making a decision. Isn't it too early for you to discuss these things now?" Gu Xinian raised his head , said lightly.

Jiang Tongtong choked, annoyed, but helpless.

For the 390 eight students, it is natural to find out the original test papers and compare them one by one, and then confirm them, so as to avoid mistakes and omissions, which will lead to misleading people's future.However, because of the heavy responsibility, the officials responsible for sealing and transcribing have always been meticulous and rarely make mistakes in this regard. Therefore, the list of personnel to be sorted can be discussed according to the names on the transcripts. It is not necessary to put all the test papers. After checking, discuss again.

But Gu Xinian used the rules to talk about things, even if Jiang Tong was the chief examiner, he couldn't say anything more.

He had no choice but to say with a half-smile: "Master Gu said so, how dare Jiang refuse to obey."

He is the main examiner, and everything here should be decided by him.But Gu Xinian not only refused to obey his orders, but raised objections. Jiang Tong's words were to accuse him of disrespecting his superiors.

"Master Jiang is getting old, and the emperor is worried that you are tired. As the deputy examiner, I naturally have to take on more responsibilities so as not to worry the emperor. Why don't you sit aside, Mr. Jiang, as long as we are busy here." After Gu Xinian finished speaking, he called another young fellow examiner, "Go and make a pot of good tea for Mr. Jiang."

This implies that Jiang Tong is old and has already served as an official, so don't dictate here.Just stay there and don't talk nonsense, that's the right thing to do.

The two of them were fighting with each other, and they came and went with implying wit, while the other examiners were silent, not daring to breathe, and just kept their heads down and did things quickly, for fear of being affected by Chi Yu.

After a while, almost [-] test papers were taken out.The Mi Feng Office also sent over the original test papers, and everyone checked them one by one to confirm that they were correct. The official who copied the list turned his attention to Gu Xinian.

Anyway, no matter how dissatisfied Jiang Tong is, since he intends to hold Gu Xinian's thigh, he must unswervingly support Gu Xinian.The most taboo in official circles is to sway from side to side and want to please both sides.Therefore, he made up his mind to listen to Gu Xinian on how to write the list.

Gu Xinian was in a dilemma.

Naturally, he didn't want Du Jinning to win the prize.He rejected Jiang Tong just now because he didn't want to lose face.After he found the original test paper, he planned to find fault with the handwriting on the original test paper.If the words on the test paper are not well written or too flamboyant, then his reasons are very good.

If Du Jinning's handwriting is okay, then he is not helpless.As long as one of the top ten test papers has a better handwriting than Du Jinning, he can also use this as an excuse to move it to the first place.In this way, Du Jinning is naturally not Huiyuan.

After all, calligraphy is also one of the talents, isn't it?
Who knew that among the top ten test papers, the most eye-catching one was the first one.The handwriting in that test paper was very neat and elegant, which made all the examiners who were nauseous looking at the text brighten their eyes.

This word is good, this word is so well written, even Gu Xinian and Jiang Tong, who hated the first test paper, couldn't help being attracted by it immediately.After he cleared his mind, what Gu Xinian felt was a strong sense of powerlessness.

If you want to pick on Du Jinning's handwriting, you can't do it well.How could this guy write such neat and beautiful characters?Just like the print on the engraving.

He thought it would be okay to say that this word is not good without conscience, but can't help but praise those fellow examiners?

"God, this is the first time I've seen such beautiful and neat words."

"Looking at these characters, it seems that the strength and uniformity of the ink are the same. It's hard to understand how he wrote it."

"If the copied test papers are all written in this way, we don't have to read so hard."

"Yes, this character, although it is not as elegant as those cursive and cursive scripts, it seems to be suitable for imperial examinations or official document transcription. You don't know, since I was in my 40s, my eyes are I can’t do it anymore, I feel confused when I look at everything. I don’t want to read the official documents written by my subordinates if the handwriting is a little bit scribbled. If everyone writes such handwriting, I don’t have to feel a headache to read the official documents. "

"Yes, yes, I feel the same way."

The examiners saw that Jiang Tong wanted to remove this test paper, but Gu Xinian refused, so they thought that Gu Xinian was trying to keep the examinee who wrote parallel prose very beautifully.The praise at this time is naturally without scruples.

Gu Xinian was suffering and couldn't tell.

"Oh, that's all, this kid's luck is so good that he can't stop it, so let him get the prize. Fortunately, there is still the imperial examination. If he can also win the first prize in the imperial examination, then he will fight against such a lucky person. It must be ominous."

Gu Xinian and Du Jinning have no direct grievances, they are just venting their anger.He has been an official all his life, and he is not a stupid person who can get to this point. He knows the truth of following the trend.

He laughed and said, "I also said that if this child's handwriting is not good, I'm afraid I will consider moving it down. Now that his handwriting has been praised by everyone, his title of Huiyuan is well-deserved." He looked at Jiang. Tong, "How does Master Jiang feel?"

Jiang Tong knew that no matter what he said, he could not change the situation, and if he said more, he would bring shame on himself.

He immediately sneered: "Master Gu will naturally say what he says, will anyone listen to what I say, a bad old man?"

Even if Gu Xinian wins this round, he will bite off a piece of Gu Xinian's flesh, so that he will get a bad reputation of disrespecting his superiors and seniors.Today's matter spread to the emperor's ears, and he believed that the emperor would definitely have a bad impression of Gu Xinian.

"It's meaningless for Master Jiang to say that." Gu Xinian was furious in his heart, but his face remained calm, and his tone remained unchanged, "Just now, I was just asking for your opinion. What does it mean if you have a strange yin and yang qi?"

In this officialdom, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.Everyone is generally "smiling on the face, and criticizing in the heart", showing their emotions and anger, but they always have to fight in secret to gain a greater right to speak.This is the norm in the officialdom, and it is also the reason why Jiang Tong and Gu Xinian are fighting.

But Jiang Tong is an old man, so it is impossible to see that Gu Xinian is really annoyed.Although he has quit the officialdom, he is strong without desires, and he is not afraid of what will happen to Gu Xinian, but his descendants are still in the officialdom, and it is always bad to offend people severely.Furthermore, although the emperor invited him to come out of the mountain, he had no intention of letting him come back.If there was a choice between this dying old man like him and Gu Xinian, the emperor would definitely choose Gu Xinian.In front of the emperor, he has no chance of winning.

For this reason, he felt a little regretful that he and Gu Xinian had had too much trouble, and said in a more relaxed tone, "You asked me for instructions just now? Then it seems that I misunderstood. All right, just do what you said just now, Mr. Gu. "

That's how things settled.

　I recommend a good article that is delayed by the title, the non-traditional old saying, "The Journey of Others in Different Worlds", which was opened at the beginning of dawn.The prince of Shunyi originally thought that the one who was kidnapped was a stupid and cute little daughter-in-law, but what he didn't want to reap was the hegemony of Wang Tu within reach, hmm, this wave of manipulation is amazing.
