My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 19 19 Double Door No. 1, as it should be

Chapter 19 19. The two doors are number one, as it should be
yamen.

Several officials wearing brocade robes arrived slowly.

They are all high-ranking officials in counties and counties. They are usually well-educated people with aloof positions.

During the marking time, they will come from the county town to the county town to mark the candidates in the county town.

The first official is called the Master. He is wearing a red robe, has gray hair on his temples, and has a solemn face: "Everyone, we must be fair this time and must not engage in malpractice for personal gain."

"Of course we won't do things like cheating for personal gain. Once we get involved, our family will be ruined."

Other officials nodded one after another: "We know the candidates' usual scores well. What kind of scores they should have will be what kind of ranking they will get. We will always be fair."

The chief official then showed a satisfied expression.

He was very satisfied with the answers given by these officials.

Candidates know what kind of results they should get, and what kind of ranking they will get.

This sentence may seem simple, but in fact it has already determined the ranking.

If you can pass the examination as a scholar, you will definitely have the reputation of being a scholar.

If you fail to pass the exam, you will definitely not be a scholar.

There will never be any favoritism or bending of the law. If you pass the exam, you will pass. If you fail, you will not pass. It is very fair.

However, after passing the exam, you can do some manipulation on the ranking of your scores.

Candidates with a strong background, belonging to a wealthy family, and having high-ranking officials at home will be ranked higher.

If the candidate has no background, comes from a poor family, and has few senior officials in the court, then he will have to fall behind.

Ranking is very important. It will give you a bonus for participating in the subsequent imperial examinations. After all, the top scholars represent that your family background is definitely not simple.

In the future, during the Juren Examination and the Jinshi Examination, the examiners will understand at a glance that as long as the results are not too bad, they will basically not give too low a score.

Aristocratic families basically intermarry with each other, and these top-ranked scholars are all "our people."

You help me and I help you.

Officials protect each other, that's it.

These graders are basically officials from aristocratic families. They can always inadvertently provide conveniences to the children of aristocratic families and to their own descendants.

Over the years, the entanglement has become so complicated that most of the senior officials in the imperial court are members of aristocratic families.

The presiding judge sneered.

These candidates have basically been thoroughly investigated inside and out. What their family background is or where they were born have been directly informed by various officials. This is the so-called knowing their roots.

"Grade the exam!"

After the chief official finished speaking, all the officials carefully reviewed the papers, with expressions of blue sky and rigorous faces.

No one knew that they had already decided on the ranking secretly.

After a while, each test paper was marked.

Basically, there are no surprises. The ranking is what it should be.

But, as luck would have it, an accident happened this time.

An official looked surprised. He suddenly took out a paper, held it in both hands, walked up to the chief official, and reported: "This paper has outstanding results. Please ask the teacher to check it and make a ranking."

The chief official looked surprised.

Of course he knew what was going on.

There are some poor children who are talented, well-educated, and their grades are really good. If you don't let them enter the top ten, it will be difficult to convince the public.

After all, after these papers have been reviewed, they will be checked by officials from other counties, and after the results are released, they will be appreciated by all the candidates and spread all over the world. His answers are so perfect and earth-shattering that he surpasses the top ten people, but his ranking does not make it into the top ten. , then at first glance it is a secret operation, and accidents are prone to occur.

Therefore, for students with excellent grades, their papers will be specially taken out for all officials to review together and finally give a reasonable ranking.

Sometimes the secret operation should not be too obvious. Only papers with terrible results will be treated fairly if everyone is treated as a fool.

Generally speaking, there are very few such papers, and it only takes decades for one to appear. There are not so many geniuses, and most of the world is just ordinary people.

This situation, which has been rare in decades, actually happened at this moment!

Soon, all the officials gathered around to review the test paper.

"He did perfectly on the classic exam. Even the most obscure questions were answered correctly."

"Yes, yes, this question is very difficult. I can't answer some questions, but I didn't expect him to answer it. Is this really not cheating? Even if he is cheating, it is difficult to answer so perfectly!"

"It is impossible for someone to cheat. There is absolutely no problem with the invigilation. His results are real..." Several officials were shocked.

What shocked them even more was the next poetry test and Ci test.

"There is a road to the mountain of books, and diligence is the path, and there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning and hard work. Okay, okay, this poem was created by such a candidate. It will definitely be famous for future generations!"

"If a young man doesn't work hard, his old age will be miserable. I think this is a good saying."

"This article called Encouraging Learning is a good one. The answers are great and it can indeed enlighten people."

"The following poem, Plum Blossom, is also good. Although it looks simple, it expresses the characteristics of plum blossoms and has extraordinary meaning."

"I think his calligraphy is also very good, and he already has a touch of charm. It is different from any popular calligraphy today. It seems to be a newly created calligraphy. Although it is a bit immature, in time, he will definitely be a master of calligraphy."

Several officials kept exclamating.

They found that the name "Zhao Xuanqi" had never been heard of before, and it seemed that he did not come from a big family. In other words, this student was completely from a poor family.

The chief official also had a face full of shock. He shook his red robe and sighed: "It seems that the number one this time cannot be arranged according to the previous sorting rules..."

Other officials looked distressed.

The ranking of the top ten talents is money to them. As long as the people who should be arranged are placed on it, they can get huge benefits.

All the aristocratic families who are ranked in the rankings must give them a gift. This is a rule, an unshakable rule.

First, the most expensive.

Tenth, the cheapest.

Now that the number one position is occupied by a poor boy, the others will also be moved down the rankings. The bribe money they have lost is definitely a large sum, which is enough to make these officials heartbroken for a long time.

However, everyone present had no objection.

No matter how many benefits there are, you still have to live to take them.

Such a perfect answer is rare in a hundred years. Many of the questions in it can be classified as classics and are spread all over the world.

For this kind of test paper, which clearly deserves first place, you rank him outside the top ten. The secret operation is so obvious that even the heads of the nine tribes are not enough.

You can fool the emperor, but you can't blatantly treat the emperor as a blind person!
"This boy is so scary, and his boy student assessment is also good. Let him be the first boy student, just treat it as a favor from us."

"good!"

……

It's raining heavily.

Cold wind blows.

On the day the results were released, many students came to the Yamen, waiting for the announcement to be posted.

In the crowd, Zhao Xuanqi hid under an umbrella. Next to him were Chen Buhuan and others. These scholars gathered Zhao Xuanqi in the center, holding umbrellas to protect Zhao Xuanqi from the rain. In a few months, without knowing it, he had already become The central figure of this small group.

At this moment, everyone's weak actions to protect him from the rain can already show his status among everyone. He basically does not need to hold an umbrella, other people's umbrellas have successfully helped him avoid the rain.

"The number one child born, Zhao Xuanqi."

"The number one scholar is Zhao Xuanqi."

After the results were posted, Chen Buhuan and others were admitted to Tongsheng one after another. One or two scholars also passed the test and were at full level. Only then did they discover that Zhao Xuanqi ranked first, and the first in both gates!

Chen Buhuan was extremely shocked. As a son of a wealthy family, his family could only be considered average and not as good as those wealthy families. However, although he did not know the specific secret operations of the yamen, he knew that ranking in the top ten was definitely not easy, let alone ranking first. Woolen cloth?
Other students were also shocked.

"I thought my grades were very good, but I didn't expect you, a monster, to be so terrifying!"

"I'm even happier. None of us failed. At least they were born as children."

"Double-door No. [-], is this what you call normal performance?"

Zhao Xuanqi did not expect that he would win the first place in both disciplines. This was beyond his expectation.

He has seen previous lists, and the top ten are basically all aristocratic families, without exception.

This time, he, a poor boy, turned out to be a dark horse and won the first place.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart: "This is thanks to the cultivation of the teachers in the academy and the love of the officials and graders..."

Around him, other students from the internship academy heard that Zhao Xuanqi had won the first place in both disciplines. They also gathered around to watch and celebrate him. Dozens of students surrounded him, which was really extraordinary.

At this point, Zhao Xuanqi unknowingly became the signature of Stony Brook Academy, the central figure of this generation of students, and the person who carries the burden.

Chen Buhuan celebrated happily and said: "You are the number one in the double doors. I am treating you to the restaurant today and no one is allowed to leave!"
