Song Menghua: At the beginning, ask to marry Sheng Minglan

Unexpectedly-

Not only did Qi Heng show no signs of being helpless, he even smiled.

"Second uncle."

"Never just look at the surface when looking at a problem, but try to see the essence through the problem."

"Do you think it's serious that they don't allow me to be the champion?"

"On the contrary."

"It doesn't matter at all."

"The more they work together on this matter, the better it will be for me."

"You have to know that the official's use of me is to check and balance the court."

"But before I stepped into the court, they wanted to come over and deal with me."

"Do you think the officials will agree?"

Gu Tingye was startled.

It really is.

He simply didn't know what to say, no matter how big or small, Qi Heng could always find a side that was beneficial to him from a strange perspective, and then use it.

This talent is really amazing.

"So to me, it doesn't matter at all whether the champion is the champion or not."

"I neither care nor care."

"The only thing that matters."

"The fact that they have plans for me...I can't help it."

"Just imagine - 1.3"

"They will try to prevent my ranking today, and will they try to prevent my promotion tomorrow?"

"Will the day after tomorrow try to cut off my future?"

"It's all uncertain."

"If I don't react, they'll really think I'm a good man, and I'll push the envelope."

Summarize in one sentence.

It doesn't matter what they do.

What matters is that they did.

This is a very dangerous signal.

Gu Tingye held his forehead with a headache.

For the first time, he realized that going to court to fight against these people is really not something that anyone can do.

Fortunately, there is Qi Yuanruo.

"I probably understand what you mean."

"But I still don't understand, what exactly can we do?"

Qi Heng waved his hand.

"It's hard to say right now."

"We have to wait for the attitude of the official to see what step he can tolerate me."

"Not in a hurry."

"If there is no accident, within three days, he will call me into the palace."

talking room.

It was getting dark.

There are not many shops on the imperial street outside Donghua Gate, and the surrounding area is empty and dark, only the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves.

Just like the situation they are facing at this time.

Just like the situation they are facing now.

Chapter 186 Regardless of poetry, the only chance

There have always been rules for reviewing palace examination papers.

Fifty or so examiners cross-checked the examination papers, and based on the scores of poems, fus, and essays, comprehensively evaluated, and selected at least [-] and at most [-] examination papers, which were proposed to be ranked first in the list.

The remaining [-] or so copies are collectively classified as the second-best, or the third-best, and there will be no specific rankings.

This means that.

The previous top picks, second places, and top picks were all screened and selected from the first-class test papers.

This year will certainly be no exception.

The only difference from previous years is——

This year's marking standards have been slightly adjusted.

In the Fengmi Office in the apse of Chongzheng Hall, Zeng Gongliang calmly announced more than 350 rewritten examination papers with both hands.

"There is only one principle for grading papers in this palace examination."

"Emphasis on theory, despise poetry and prose."

"No matter how excellent the poems and prose are, they will always rank low."

Most of the examiners were unresponsive.

They obviously know something inside.

But there are also a few examiners who raised doubts.

"Why is this?"

"Although since the Qingli period, the importance of poetry and prose has become less and less than that of each session, but at any rate they were the two most important in the past."

"Even if you don't pay attention to it, it should be placed in the same important position as 'On'."

"Why do you always stay behind?"

Zeng Gongliang looked as usual.

He was born as a Jinshi during the Tiansheng period, and he was in the same year as Fu Bi, Han Qi, and Bao Zheng.

Over the years, he started from the county magistrate of Kuaiji, traveled to various places, and was promoted all the way to Zhizhigao, Hanlin Bachelor, Duanmingdian Bachelor, until he was worshiped as a political counselor and became a minister.

One of his most commendable features is his openness.

He has always been frank and frank with his subordinates and superiors.

Today is no exception.

"Without him."

"Gainna Qi Yuanruo is quite talented, Jin Mingchi's thousand poems in one night, Shangyuan Fu, everyone in the world knows."

"Since that's the case, if I don't wait to read poems and fus, his ranking will naturally come down."

Many people hide their faces quietly.

This Mr. Zeng... is too stupid!

I know it in my heart, so why say it?

But this is indeed the simplest, most effective, and most aboveboard method.

The ranking of the Palace Examination is based on the overall score, and now his two strongest bonus items have become deduction items, so his ranking is bound to be much lower.

An examiner hesitated and asked——

"But this...wouldn't it be unfair?"

"On the contrary, it seems that we are narrow-minded and aimed at him."

Some examiners also asked——

"Also, why did you deliberately let him rank last?"

Zeng Gongliang answered in unison.

"Of course we cannot deny his talent, knowledge, and ability."

"Especially the various questions he raised in the exam are also deafening."

"However, this son is very selfish and scheming, so he should not be a model for the world's students."

"He said in the examination that 'the court also needs a few smart guys', I think everyone has heard of it."

"therefore."

"Yu Gong, we must teach him a lesson, lest he neglect his morals."

"Privately, his Duke of Qi's mansion is expensive as the emperor's family and nobles. Let him be ranked at the bottom to avoid suspicion, so as to avoid criticism of the official family."

"That would be unfair."

Every aspect has been considered.

And it's well-founded, so people can't fault it.

In addition, many examiners here have already received rumors that if Qi Yuan can't be allowed to become the champion, then of course no one will say anything more.

just.

There will inevitably be others who sigh with regret.

"That's it."

"I've always liked Su Zizhan, Zeng Zigu and others, I'm afraid they will inevitably fall behind."

"A few of them are also good at poetry."

This means-
