The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 193

Patriarch Qin thought for a while and said: "I am very relieved about Yang'er's knowledge. He will not be able to escape the top three in the exam. As for the other children in the family, they will go to the exam. This time the number of candidates is much more than the previous one They have a great chance. As for how to select officials, Ghost King naturally has her considerations, and it has nothing to do with his daughter-in-law, so don't criticize her."

Mrs. Qin said angrily: "How can you say it's irrelevant? You don't know. I asked her to go to the ghost king today to intercede with Yang'er. Isn't it normal for a wife to help her husband? But what do you say, She is unwilling to go to life or death, she would rather kneel in the yard without moving for two hours, we, Yang'er, have suffered a great loss by marrying her, if I had known this, I should have persisted to the end and never let her It's right to enter the door of my Qin family."

Patriarch Qin slapped the table and said, "Nonsense, why do you still want her to talk nonsense in front of the ghost king? If she goes, our Yang'er will be finished. You have been in Beijing for so many years, but have you ever heard that the ghost king bends the law for personal gain? If you really make people come to the ghost king to intercede for Yang'er, then you will make the ghost king look down on Yang'er, and you will ruin Yang'er's life."

Mrs. Qin was startled, she pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Patriarch Qin looked at his wife and sighed secretly. She was just a branch of the Ning family who was born in the Ministry of Rites. , There are some things that I can't think of and can't understand. She just wants to think about her son, and he can't say too much.

With a light sigh of relief, Patriarch Qin persuaded: "The king of ghosts is also a human being. She can tell the difference between closeness and closeness. Even if she doesn't say anything, she knows what to do at critical moments. We just need to keep our duties. To my daughter-in-law You should be better, no matter how bad she is, she has already entered the gate of the Qin family, and she is already the Qin family."

Seeing that Mrs. Qin was still bowing her head and sulking, Patriarch Qin had no choice but to speak more clearly, "Actually, there are some things that we might as well do if we talk about them. We are good friends to the Ghost King, so the Ghost King is naturally happy, and needless to say, he will do it." Take care of Fu Yang'er. You can tell by the people around the ghost king, which one is not proud of his youth, or is rising steadily."

Mrs. Qin knew that Patriarch Qin had made up her mind, and seeing what he said was very firm, she had no choice but to agree, but in the end, she hated the unlucky ghosts very much in her heart, and she could only think that in the future, she would be pure if she didn't see her.

After a few days of calm in Beijing, the time of the big exam came in the hot June.

Yun Yuhong said that she was the chief examiner, but she still left most of the affairs in the hands of Master Qin and Master Yi. Recently, she herself was busy teaching the little prince how to practice martial arts.Fortunately, as long as nothing happens, no one dares to say anything about her.Many people are more happy that she doesn't show up, so as not to mess with her and make her life worse than death.So everyone worked together to prepare for the invigilation, and everything was fine.

The Moyun Imperial Examination stipulates that there are four exams for the Jinshi: one exam for the Great Classics, two exams for the Concurrent Classics, three exams for theory, and the last exam for strategies.If you are on the list after the list is released, you can participate in the final palace examination.Of course, the palace examination is usually just a ranking, and finally confirms who is the champion, who is the second, and who is the best. So the palace examination is a bit of a formality.

The examination questions were issued by the academicians of the Imperial Academy, and Qianzong also issued one to express his importance.After the questions are completed, they are sealed and put in the box, and they are not opened until the day of the test.The examinee's examination papers are ambiguous and transcribed after they are collected, which is a way to prevent favoritism.Name obfuscation is to seal the personal information such as the name and place of origin on the examinee's examination paper, so that people do not know which paper belongs to whom.Transcript is to find someone to transcribe the examinee's test paper.In this way, when the examiners evaluate the test papers, not only do they not know the names of the candidates, but they also cannot identify the candidates' handwriting.This system is very effective in preventing examiners from choosing favoritism.

But this can really put an end to the examiner's favoritism?Yun Yuhong didn't think so, so although she didn't care much before the exam, when the exam came, she took out the exam questions and opened them, and changed half of the questions, and she changed them very "interestingly", She asked the examiners to ask each one a question, and then made a lottery for Zhou University to draw, which avoided leaking questions or biased questions caused by her or someone else.

Master Zhou certainly disagreed, but the chief examiner was the eldest princess, and with Yun Yuhong's temperament, whether he did or didn't do it was the result, and Yun Yuhong's test questions had been changed.He pulled out the questions with a dark face, and Yun Yuhong smiled and read the questions in front of the public, and after they were written and passed on, the exam officially started.

As for the invigilators, Yun Yuhong directly pulled the four princes in. These princes were either in the palace or in the barracks. Talk about something personal.So their eyes were wide open, watching the invigilators and candidates closely. After all, the ghost king told the princes that if they saw cheating, they would beat them to death.The children of the aristocratic families among the candidates are all very well-behaved. Just kidding, this is the prince. If it is someone else, they may not be able to be cruel, but these princes were brought up by the ghost king. They might really kill a few people. indivual.

Yun Yuhong was just sitting, occasionally looking at the candidates who were taking the exam, most of the time her eyes followed Zhou Dashi.This week, when the bachelor first started changing the topic, his face was dark, but he didn't see any expressions of anxiety or disappointment on his face, and now he is even more calm and indifferent.Yun Yuhong didn't believe that they didn't do ghosts at all, but judging from his appearance, this ghost should not be on the test paper or during the exam, but it would be in the later marking?
The three-day exam was over. When the candidates walked out of the exam room, their faces were pale and their feet were weak. Some of them were supported by servants.The exam was tough but fortunately it was over, and the next hard work was the examiners who marked the papers.

During the process of aliasing and transcribing the test papers, Yun Yuhong recruited some literate people in the army to help, and everything went smoothly, so smoothly that Yun Yuhong was a little hairy, no, it was too wrong, how could those aristocratic families be a little bit No movement, no signs of doing anything, is she missing something?

Yun Yuhong couldn't figure it out, but everyone had already entered the process of grading papers.She could only pick up a few papers and read them.To be honest, those who can take part in the imperial examinations are not bad in humanities, but most of the students have little experience, no ideas and new ideas, and although the articles are colorful, they are actually empty.Yun Yuhong didn't have the patience to read any more after reading two chapters.

Pushing the thick stack of test papers on the table in front of Grand Master Qin, Yun Yuhong said "Thanks for your hard work" and pushed all these things away.The others lowered their heads and read the paper seriously, assuming they were completely ignorant of these matters.

Yun Yuhong, who was idle, still focused on Master Zhou, wondering what the hell this group of people was up to.At first, Master Zhou felt uncomfortable, but after a long time, he gradually got used to it, treating Yun Yuhong's gaze as if it were air, and concentrating on his own affairs.

Yun Yuhong was annoyed by reading two pages of the test paper, but she was very patient with Master Zhou.It took two hours to stare at it, and she could still come up with a pattern.Master Zhou didn't read the test paper directly from the beginning to the end, but read the back first, and then went back to the first page to read from the front to the back.There is no name on the back of the test paper, and the handwriting has changed, so what is he looking at at the back?

Yun Yuhong got up and went directly to Master Zhou, picked up the few papers he had read, and Zhou University hummed angrily, but continued to do his own thing, ignoring her.

Yun Yuhong repeated the method and eyes of Master Zhou when he read the paper, but found nothing wrong.Yun Yuhong picked up another one and repeated it again.This time, a familiar place name came into her eyes: Qizhou, the state managed by the uncle of the Bai family.Of course, these two words are not put together, but the first word in the last paragraph and the second word in the second-to-last paragraph.Yun Yuhong suddenly realized something, and then carefully looked at the third word in the third-to-last paragraph, the fourth word in the fourth-to-last paragraph, and so on. In the end, Yun Yuhong came up with the five characters: Qizhou, Zhang Huaitong.

Yun Yuhong said to Master Yi: "Master Yi, please check for me, is there someone like Zhang Huaitong from Qizhou?"

Everyone was taken aback, and they stopped looking at the test papers, but looked directly at Yun Yuhong.If you look carefully, many people are not only shocked, but also scared, and the sweat on their heads suddenly came out.

Yun Yuhong read the reflections of all the people in the room, and she already knew it in her heart. Patriarch Yi over there also checked it out, and reported back: "Back to the ghost king, there is such a person."

Yun Yuhong nodded, and said to everyone: "Curious, how do I know? Don't you think some candidates' writing style is a bit strange, and they suddenly inserted a nonsense sentence when they obviously didn't need to say that? You can write the first paragraph of the last paragraph of the test paper." words, the second word in the penultimate paragraph, and so on, connect those words together, if you can connect them, you won’t be surprised how I know the candidate’s name.”

Several adults hurriedly took out the test papers for comparison, and then half of their faces changed.What is this? This is cheating. There are so many candidates using this method to reveal their names, so there must be someone among the examiners who has benefited and will help them.It is self-evident how important this scientific examination is, how dare these people do this.Now that they are discovered by the ghost king, what awaits them is a dead end.
