Saint of the Confucian way

The names of all the papers were pasted on the paper and sent to the marking room.

The reading room of the Academy of Arts is as bright as day.

The marking room of the Fuwen academy is extremely spacious. More than 20000 children's test papers are placed on rows of tables. Looking at it, it looks like a paper workshop.

Three examiners, one imperial examination inspector and ten scholars stood in front of the statue of Confucius.

"Please saint!"

The invisible force descends and the wind grows in the room.

All the examination papers exude a smoky orange talent, but the talent is different in intensity and level.

An invisible force brushed by, and tens of thousands of test papers were moved to one side of the marking room, stacked together and piled into a paper mountain.

Finally, the top 200 papers were placed on the table.

Governor Dong said, "I don't know whether it's a disaster or a blessing for the five movements of literature and music, but since the saints increase the number of scholars, it's a good thing for our Terran. Let's start marking the papers."

Ten literary academies came forward, one candidate had 19 papers, and the ten papers with the most talent remained in place.

Different from the county examination, the government examination requires the Academy of arts to raise people to cross mark the papers. After each adjacent two people score their own papers, they should judge each other's papers.

Three examiners and a patrolman looked at the first ten papers.

The highest ranking stack of papers is two foot four talent, followed by two foot one, two foot and one foot nine.

Magistrate Dong smiled and asked, "do you want to guess who has the most talent?"

Master Zhou said, "do you still need to guess? The first must be Fang Yun."

"What Lord Zhou said is very true." Feng Zimo smiled.

Inspector Geng sneered, "that's not necessarily true. Even if he has the highest talent, he may have high poetic talent, not necessarily high Confucian righteousness talent. Look at the talent behind him. The difference is less than a foot. Who the position of maocai belongs to or unknown! As saints and disciples, you praised Fang Yun so much before marking the paper. If you hadn't taken your face into account, you would have asked the holy magistrate to remove your qualification for marking the paper."

The three examiners were angry, but they were speechless. Although the marking of the imperial examination was serious, everyone was a scholar, not a wooden man. There was no need to be so rigorous, but inspector Geng was right. Moreover, he was a scholar, and everyone could only be angry.

"Mr. Geng's lesson is, let's start marking." governor Dong suddenly walked quickly to the first test paper. The other two deputy examiners looked at each other and followed silently.

According to the rules, the examiner will ask the imperial examination inspector to judge the first test paper. On the one hand, he will respect the status of the holy courtyard and on the other hand, he will respect the people of Gao Wenwei. However, inspector Geng has torn his face and embarrassed Fang Yun. If Fang Yun hadn't threatened to invite the holy referee, inspector Geng would intensify.

On the one hand, they are local giants and on the other, they are officials of the holy Academy. I'm afraid they won't meet for the second time in their life. Inspector Geng turned his face first, so it's no longer necessary for the three examiners in the same King country to take care of anything.

Three people stood in front of the test paper table. Inspector Geng could only turn around and look at it.

Inspector Geng smiled contemptuously and was not angry at all.

When the four looked at the test paper, three changed their faces.

Inspector Geng looked intently, laughed and said, "this is not Fang Yun's handwriting. I recognize it! Fang Yun is not the first person of talent. You Yuhai city really has a lot of talents. Good! Good!"

Magistrate Dong said with a dark face, "Inspector Geng has lost his manners."

Inspector Geng didn't think much of it. He smiled at the first paper and said: "Let me see. I don't know this handwriting. If I guess right, it seems that the younger generation of Tong Li is awesome. This one foot six meritorious talent alone can win maocai in many places. If no one cheated in the imperial examination, he must be the maocai in Yuhai city."

Master Zhou had the best relationship with Fang Yun. He said in a deep voice, "Inspector Geng, please be quiet. This is the reading room, not a place to boast."

Inspector Geng still smiled and was sure of victory.

Magistrate Dong said, "we cross judge the papers. After making the final evaluation, we can be verified by inspector Geng."

"Please!"

"Please!"

Feng Yuanjun and Zhou Zhushu were polite to each other, and no one paid attention to Geng inspector.

Magistrate Dong looked at the Scriptures, Feng Yuanjun looked at the poems, and master Zhou looked at the holy words.

Not long ago, magistrate Dong simply wrote two words in red pen under Tong Li's scriptures.

B middle.

Geng Xun took a look and didn't say anything. The rating was very objective. Tong Li's meritorious talent was good, and his problem solving ability was up to the level of B, but the latter part was general, but he still stood out among the scholars.

Inspector Geng looked on coldly. The current rating is only to be determined. In addition to asking for holy words, the highest rating of poetry and scriptures, no matter which grade, even C, will be changed to Grade A.

The other two examiners also rated one after another.

Tong Li's holy words, poems and scriptures are Yixia, Yixia and Yizhong respectively.

After that, the three people cross judged the paper and found no problems. The final rating was the same as that of the first examiner.

Under normal circumstances, the three examiners will praise Tong Li. After all, Sanyi is not common. If there is no accident, this person must be a maocai.

Before the three examiners could open their mouths, inspector Geng said, "not bad! You three are fairly fair."

The three looked at each other and began to judge the second.

The handwriting is still not Fang Yun's.

The faces of the three were more ugly, and inspector Geng's smile was bigger.

Not long ago, the second rating appeared, which were upper C, middle B and lower B.

Geng inspector said, "this man's Scripture and righteousness evaluation is the same as that of Tong Li, but Tong Li's Scripture and righteousness ability is four inches higher than that of Tong Li."

Without saying a word, the three quietly rated the third test paper.

Still not Fang Yun.

The faces of the three examiners are no different from the black pot, but they have the courage. Even if they are in a bad mood, they won't grade indiscriminately.

The third party's ratings are top C, top B and top C.

Inspector Geng commented again, "this man's poetry is out of the county. His talent is one foot one, and he can get a second. I can see the handwriting of the fourth person. It should be Fang Yun." there are saints overlooking heaven and earth. Some words are harmless. After all, the three semi saints are the real examiners.

The three examiners began to read Fang Yun's test paper with a complex mood.

As soon as the holy words, poems and scriptures were separated, there was a trace of despair in their eyes.

Fang Yun has only a very weak talent, not even an inch.

"Go on." magistrate Dong sighed and began to read Fang Yun's scriptures.

After reading the first question, governor Dong shouted, "OK! I've been an examiner for more than ten years. I've seen such clever questions for the first time! If the later text is not bad, I'll give it a class!"

The other three people immediately looked over, and inspector Geng also stretched his neck.

"Wonderful! Not even me!"

"Great talent!"

The smile on inspector Geng's face disappeared.

Magistrate Dong slowly said, "talent is the only measure of poetry, but it is not the only measure of Scripture and strategy. Especially the sages and disciples of Confucius in the Pre-Qin Dynasty, their Scripture often have no talent, but they contain great truth. When the great Confucian Yi of the state of Wu knows the world and tests people, Scripture and righteousness only have three inches of talent, but they still overwhelm people and win the first class."

Inspector Geng knew that magistrate Dong was talking to him, but he didn't respond. He continued to look down.

The four people looked slowly. Inspector Geng's face was getting darker and darker, while the expressions of the three examiners were getting richer and richer.

"If I were Mr. Dong, my first comment must be 'tight structure'! This Fang Yun started from breaking the topic and followed it up with maozi. After that, the original topic was extremely smooth. I really didn't live up to our expectations. Even if it was the champion of a country, the structure alone could not be better."

"The second thing I like most is the development of Zen concession, inheritance and popular election. Zen concession and inheritance are great rites, and there is a change in etiquette, but he finds out its meaning, and its meaning is also changing, which echoes with the problem. If there is a problem with talent, it must be the popular election he hypothesized. Although he is unable to assume that one is the same as Zen concession and inheritance A good public election system, but it clearly points out that the characteristics of balance and stability are extremely in line with the "golden mean" of Confucianism. However, he also emphasizes the view of saints in the public election, which shows that the public election is not a perfect ceremony. Fortunately, if there is a great national ceremony, it will get rid of the saints, but it is not beautiful. "

The assumption of this son is bold, but in terms of balance and stability, it must exceed the present ten national system. If there are no saints in the ten countries, the state can only be maintained by the Ming king, but if the monarch is incompetent, the state will be in danger. He also stated that since the selection of balance and stability, there will be negative characteristics followed. Then you can become a great Confucian based on this article! "

"A!"

"First class!"

"First class!"

Magistrate Dong wrote under Fang Yun's scriptures: "it is wonderful to break the topic, the structure is tight, there are signs of change, there are opportunities to revitalize the human race, there are feasible ways, and deeply understand etiquette and righteousness, class a!"

Later, Zhou Zhushu and Feng Yuanjun also wrote grade a comments on it. As long as the same exquisite scriptures do not appear in the later test papers, Fang Yun must be maocai.

Geng inspector said, "this article can't get the first class!"

The three examiners looked at inspector Geng together. The others were OK. Feng Zimo immediately said angrily: "Inspector Geng, this civilization is clearly a first-class text. How can you not get a first-class? I know you collude with Shijun disciple Shi Dehong and want to revenge our king country, but if you want to destroy our King country's talents, I will ask the holy referee to expose you! You know best whether you have selfish intentions!"

"Lord Geng, you should think twice. Fang Yun's" humble chamber inscription "is a semi holy comment! If this article is cut to the first class by the holy man, you will lose the official position of the holy Academy at first, but you will not be able to make progress in this life!"

Master Zhou sneered and said, "Lord Dong and Lord Feng, you two are Jinshi. It's a great disaster if you fail to hire a saint. I'm just raising people. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. Geng Hanlin, don't force me to hire a saint."

Inspector Geng said slowly, "although the hypothesis of this article is very wonderful, it is an illusion after all. No one has written a book to demonstrate it. It is too much to give a first grade. I suggest giving it to B middle school like Tong Li. They have the same rating and are impartial."

"You seem impartial, but in fact you still hurt people's hearts. If both of them are B middle school, Tong Li's article will be changed to class a! Lord Dong, I ask you the last question, do you give Fang Yun class a? If you don't give it, you don't have to worry about it. I'll ask the holy judge immediately and three semi holy examiners to decide this article!"
