Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 297: Examination! Lao Jiantou's secret operation!

Latest website:

The palace examination is over.

In the cabinet duty room, the evaluation work is in full swing.

Xie Gongbao, the Minister of Academic Affairs, Yang Pu, the cabinet scholar, Wang Jing, the Minister of Rites, Jian Yi, the Minister of Personnel, and other imperial ministers who read the papers are in full swing.

The results will be released three days after the palace examination. In this way, the time left for them to mark the examination is less than two days.

Although the palace examination does not determine candidates and only determines the ranking, there are a total of 399 tributes considered this time. The ranking must be determined and ranked based on their answer sheets. This is also a huge workload.

In addition, His Royal Highness the King of Han personally set the questions for this imperial examination, covering four major ideological propositions, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty for the ministers who read the examination.

Moreover, the grading of the imperial examination papers was different from that of the rural examinations. In order to ensure the fairness of the imperial examinations, eight examination ministers including Wang Jingjian Yijie Gongbao and others needed to review each palace examination paper in turn.

The first person reviews the test paper after reading it, and then passes it to the second person, and so on until the eighth person who reads the test paper, and the joint evaluation is completed.

Each test paper reader must evaluate the test paper, which is divided into five levels with the same symbols.

This also means that if you want to enter the first or second place, you must get seven first-class evaluations.

As usual, the minister who reads the papers will only select the ten answer papers with the best scores and submit them to the emperor for personal reading, naming the number one, number two and top pick.

As for the ranking sequence of other candidates, it is decided by the marking minister.

When Zhu Gaoxu walked into the cabinet duty room, Xie Gongbao and others were concentrating on reviewing the answer sheets.

After all, every evaluation they give will seriously affect a candidate's career career, so no one dares to take it lightly.

Furthermore, Prince Han, who oversees the country, is famous for not following common sense.

If you deliberately suppress a certain student out of selfish motives, once the thief Prince Han discovers it, there will only be one outcome - being thrown into prison!

For these reasons, Xie Gongbao, the Minister of Academic Affairs, set an example and reviewed each answer sheet attentively.

Jian Yi, Wang Jing and others also worked hard. With their level of knowledge as court giants, it was no problem to evaluate the candidates' answers.

Soon an answer sheet came into view. Jian Yi, the Minister of Civil Service sitting in the first place, his eyes lit up at first, and then his brows knitted together.

The answers handed over previously were all written around the population of Nongsang, advocating a prosperous age, whitewashing peace, and lavishing attention on people.

Not to mention exactly the same, they are almost the same.

Anyone who reads this kind of answer sheet too often will feel upset.

You must know that before the evaluation began, His Highness the King of Han gave the standard answer. Farming and mulberry trees are just the appearance, and the fields are the deeper meaning.

After all, it is now common practice for local gentry to annex fields in the countryside of the Ming Dynasty, and all the giants are well aware of this!

The purpose of the King of Han's asking this question was simply to see some students give advice and make reasonable suggestions to solve these problems.

However, most of the candidates only see the surface and start to preach whenever they catch a chance of prosperity. This is doomed that their results will not be ideal and they will be reduced to the middle and lower grades.

However, the answer sheet in front of me discusses in detail the bad phenomenon of rural gentry annexing fields, and then uses it to draw out the harm this move will have on the court. It can be regarded as a truly to-the-point masterpiece.

However, what worried Jian Yi was that the last suggestion he gave was to limit the academic privileges of scholars!

The reason why local gentry can annex fields unscrupulously is because they have a reputation and are exempt from taxation, which gives them the privilege of annexing fields!

If you want to completely solve this hidden danger, the way is very simple, just abolish the academic privileges!

But this is a bit rebellious!

After all, the lifeblood of a scholar is the word fame.

If this fame and privilege were gone, would scholars still be scholars?

Without fame and fame, scholars are worse than farmers who till the land, and their livelihood cannot be guaranteed. Who is willing to study hard in a cold window?

Therefore, this scholar’s ​​reputation must not be lightly touched!

This man clearly noticed that the Prince of the Han Dynasty wanted to take advantage of the gentry’s reputation, so he wrote such a deviant article!

I have to admit that this is a good article, but it should not appear at this time!

Because once this son is ranked among the best, it is tantamount to handing a sharp sword to the Han King Zhu Gaoxu and slashing the Jin gentry on the head!

That thief Prince Han is suffering from the lack of a reasonable excuse to attack the scholar's reputation!

Now that I have such a theoretical basis, I am afraid that Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han Dynasty, will immediately use this to set off a storm!

Thinking about it, Jian Yi frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally wrote and gave a second-class evaluation.

Although this is an excellent article criticizing the current ills, it should not appear at this time!

For the sake of the stability of the court and the stability of the country, Jian Yi could only give this evaluation out of conscience!

The eight ministers who read the examination papers for this palace examination are Jian Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Yang Pu, the cabinet scholar, Xie Jin, the Minister of the Academy of Education, Chen Gongfu, the Minister of the Academy of Education, Wang Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zou Ji, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zeng Qi, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Personnel. Shi Kui, the left servant.

Jian Yi knew in his heart that except for Yang Pu and Shi Kui, the other five people were die-hard Han Wang Party members!

It didn't take much thinking to know that Xie Jin and others would definitely give this answer sheet a first-class rating.

Now that I have given it a second-class rating, I only need one of Yang Pu and Shi Kui to give it a second-class rating. Then this article will not be presented to the emperor, and neither the Crown Prince nor the Prince of Han will be able to see it.

Yang Pu is a cautious man, so Jian Yi cannot guarantee what kind of evaluation he will give.

However, Shi Kui, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was upright as an official and honest in government. When he saw such an deviant article, he would never give a first-class evaluation!

As a result, this answer sheet can only get six first-class evaluations at most, and it will not be among the top ten!

When he thought of this, Jian Yi immediately felt relieved. After passing this answer sheet out, he continued to review the next answer sheet.

Soon the answer sheet was circulated among the seven people. When it was the turn of Yang Pu, who was sitting at the bottom, to evaluate the answer sheet, the cabinet bachelor suddenly hesitated to the extreme. UU Reading www.uukanshu.nett

One second-class evaluation, six first-class evaluations, almost instantly Yang Pu understood the choices of the seven people in front of him.

Shi Kui was upright and upright as an official. It seemed that he was not just talking about it. When the examinee accused the gentry of annexing land, he actually gave a first-class evaluation!

But even so, this excellent work may be gathering dust!

Yang Pu sighed secretly in his heart, and felt helpless.

He picked up his pen and was about to give a second-class evaluation, but suddenly a faint voice came from beside him.

Yang Pu, this article is well written. How do you think it ranks?

As soon as these words came out, Yang Pu was confused and turned to look at the dog thief Han Wang with a look of embarrassment on his face.

All eight people looked confused, and the marking work came to a standstill.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yang Pu with a smile and showed a kind smile.

I think this article is well written. It points out the ills of the times and hits the nail on the head. It can be called a piece of advice for the country. What do you think, Yang Hongji?

Yang Pu: ???

Everyone: ???

Damn it, can you still play like this?

To force the minister to read the exam in person?

Why are you, the Prince of Han who oversees the country, so shameless?

Yang Pu took a deep breath, then nodded, and directly gave a first-class evaluation without any hesitation.

No way, the king of Han was too powerful, Yang Pu thought to himself that his thin arms could not twist his thick legs!

Furthermore, since the King of Han has already read this article, it doesn’t make any sense whether to suppress him or not!

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Jian Yi, the Minister of Personnel.

Old Jiantou, I think you have been overworking yourself recently. Why don't you go home and recuperate?

Jian Yi: !!!

Recuperate?

Take some rest, uncle!
