For three consecutive days, this highly anticipated scientific test finally ended, and the next thing was to mark the papers.

After all, there are thousands of test papers, so the way to mark the papers is also through layer by layer. After passing the written test, you have to have an interview at the Ministry of Personnel, that is, an oral test, and finally you can determine the real candidate for the first place. However, relatively speaking, the written test components are heavier. Generally, if you pass the written test, it will be much easier if you pass the interview. After all, in ancient times, I paid great attention to articles. It is second to be able to speak. The emperor also reads memorials, not to listen to you in Balabala every day.

Of course, the main one is the Jinshi subject. The Ming law subjects and the military and political subjects were very few. Because of their strong professionalism, especially the military and political subjects, the establishment of the Tang Military Academy made those who originally planned to take the military and political subjects go directly to the Tang Military Academy. The Jinshi subject is relatively comprehensive, and it can be said that they are reserve officials of the important ministers. Among the three regular subjects, 90% of the Jinshi subjects applied for the Jinshi subjects.

Case marking room.

If it is dark today, the marking room is still brightly lit and the examiners are carefully marking the papers.

Suddenly, the candlelight shook and a group of people walked in from outside.

It was Li Zhi, Han Yi, Du Zhenglun, Lu Chengqing and other important ministers.

"I'm going to see your Majesty."

Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu and the examiners who reviewed the papers quickly stood up to salute.

"Thank you all for your hard work."

Li Zhi was very excited and said, "You guys are busy with you, don't worry about me, I just come and take a look."

As one of the chief examiners, Li Yifu hurriedly handed over a test paper, "Your Majesty, please check it out."

Li Zhi was quite excited to take the test paper, but he didn't look at the previous questions very much because they were all basic questions, so he just looked at the question and answer questions and the last article.

Du Zhenglun, Lu Chengqing and others also picked up a test paper and read it. Only Han Yi has been standing beside Li Zhi, with a boring look on his face. At his level, he is really not qualified to read such test papers, and he probably doesn't understand it very much.

After reading for a while, Li Zhi praised: "This article is very well written, with sharp words and thorough analysis - Ren Zhigu? It turns out it was him, no wonder, no wonder." When he looked up again, he suddenly saw Du Zhenglun, Lu Chengqing and others shook their heads and said in surprise: "Why are the beloved ministers shook their heads and sighing? Didn't the test papers of these candidates beholden to the beloved ministers?"

Du Zhenglun took a test paper and sent it to Li Zhi very directly, saying, "Your Majesty, how can you get to the top of this article?"

Li Zhi was stunned, took it over and frowned, silently put down the test paper, picked up another test paper and looked at Li Yifu and frowned again, saying, "Are these test papers the best among these candidates?"

It is definitely the best to be given to Li Yi Mansion for his purpose.

Li Yifu nodded and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Du Zhongshu, Lu Shangshu and others' talents are rare in our Tang Dynasty. How can these candidates compare with them?"

A Grand Secretary suddenly came over and said, "Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with this list?"

Li Zhidao: "What's the problem?"

The Grand Secretary said, "Your Majesty, please check it out. Only forty or fifty people on this list are from high-ranking families, and the rest are all poor families. This has never been seen in previous scientific examinations."

Du Zhenglun and Lu Chengqing immediately looked at Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong.

The examiners who were marking the papers also secretly glanced here.

The atmosphere became very weird.

Li Yifu smiled calmly and said to the Grand Secretary: "Sir Xie, why don't you say that most of the candidates who have applied for the exam are poor? And Your Majesty has already stated sternly that this imperial examination was ranked first by articles, so what about the high-ranking surname? It's already the New Year, why are you still obsessed with the style of the Jin and Wei dynasties?"

The tone is very arrogant!

Han Yi suddenly said: "Li Zhongshu said it well. This time, I hope it will be fairer. If you use the high school as the standard, then why do you have the imperial examination? It can be directly made by the ninth rank Zhongzheng."

Li Yifu reciprocates Li: "Mr. Han's words are reasonable."

The Grand Secretary named Xie knew that Han Yi had stood aside with Li Yifu, and he knew in his heart that Han Yi must be standing on the side of a poor family, so how could he dare to speak here?

Lu Chengqing suddenly said, "Huh? Why don't you see Wang Xuandao's name?"

Li Zhi suddenly remembered that Wang Xuandao participated in this imperial examination because he knew Wang Xuandao since he was a child and also knew Wang Xuandao's talent, and said: "Where is Wang Xuandao's test paper?"

Li Yifu said: "I don't know, this is all handed over from below."

Li Zhi sat down and said with a gloomy face: "Go and call Wang Xuandao's test paper."

"Abide by the order!"

After a while, an official handed over Wang Xuandao's test paper.

Li Zhi opened it and ignored the content. This was definitely the most neat test paper he had ever seen. It can be seen that Wang Xuandao was so obsessed with it. Li Zhi didn't read anything else. He just looked at the article at the end. The further he looked, the ugly his face became. After reading it, Li Zhi closed the test paper and glanced at Li Yifu squintly.

Li Yifu was very calm and composed.

After a while, Li Zhi took Wang Xuandao's test paper, stood up, and said a little tiredly: "You guys continue to mark the paper."

After saying that, he walked out.

Of course, Han Yi and the others followed them out too.

As soon as they left, an examiner came over and said, "Li Zhongshu, what should I do? Although Wang Xuandao's articles are no match for Ren Zhigu's articles, Wang Xuandao's ingenuity is still better. How can His Majesty not see this?"

Li Yifu smiled and said, "I am here, what are you afraid of? Keep marking the papers."

Harem!

"It's outrageous!"

Li Zhi returned to the harem, slapped the table suddenly, and cursed: "This Li Yi Mansion is really bold."

"Your Majesty, what's this?"

Wu Meiniang walked over in panic and said, "How come Li Yi Mansion is angry about His Majesty here?"

"You can see it yourself."

Li Zhi handed the test paper to Wu Meiniang and said, "This is the test paper that was copied in the first round of screening."

Wu Meiniang took it and looked at the basic questions. But she soon knew that she couldn't tell anything about this, so she started reading the article afterwards. Half of it, she thought to herself that she was worthy of being Wang Xuandao, and she was extremely smart.

The title of this article by Wang Xuandao is taken from the "Book of Changes". The sun is in the middle of the day, and the moon is in full, and the moon is in full and the moon is in full.

But it is not Taoist thought at all, but because of this argument, it is difficult to establish a country.

From nothing to something, one is also something, from something to nothing, one is nothing.

He also proposed the idea of ​​governing the country with continuous excellence, including Han Yi's idea of ​​innovatively building a country and Dugu Wuyue's theory of elite soldiers.

This is written for whom, not just for Li Zhi to read.

First of all, it is more difficult to prove that the ruler of success is more difficult to be based on the natural phenomena of the sun and the moon. However, Li Zhi created the ruler of Yonghui. Li Zhi was the ruler of success, and he took over the prosperous era. According to this theory, Li Zhi was greater than Li Shimin.

But is this flattery?

Of course this is.

However, the wonder lies in the fact that Wang Xuandao immediately led to the idea of ​​governing the country with continuous excellence, and demonstrated the pursuit of excellence from various developments of the country, and the combination was very good.

And this is exactly what Li Zhi needs most. What he took over was Shengshi, and he often considered how to do better.

When Li Zhi saw such an article about his appetite, he was not selected. How could he not get angry? Can a founding king be stronger than a founding king?

Whose ministers are you guys?

But Wu Meiniang knew that this was done on purpose by Wang Xuandao.

If Wang Xuandao didn't know Li Yi's mansion in his heart, Xu Jingzong would definitely not let him pass the exam. He was born in the Wang family in Taiyuan and he did not choose to stand on Li Zhi's side at that time, so he had to write an article that Li Zhi could not refuse.

Wu Meiniang basically didn't read much after seeing it, but she deliberately pretended to be very fascinated. After reading it, she put the test paper and said, "Your Majesty, this test paper must be among the top three, and I know that Li Yifu and others must interfere."

Before Li Zhi could speak, she changed the subject and said, "But it's understandable."

Li Zhi said angryly: "Is this understandable?"

Wu Meiniang said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that Wang Xuandao once entered the Censorate with his sect, but who made Wang Xuandao come out of the Censorate?"

Li Zhi frowned.

Wu Meiniang said: "With the talent of Li Yi Mansion, how can he not see the value of this article? But does he dare to present it to His Majesty? After all, Wang Xuandao was driven out of the officialdom. If Your Majesty did not want Wang Xuandao to enter the officialdom again, then Li Yi Mansion would only make His Majesty embarrassed. Therefore, I believe that Li Yi Mansion did this entirely out of loyalty."

Li Zhi was silent for a while, his face slightly calmed down, and he sighed: "Do you think I am a narrow-minded person?"

Queen Wang's tragic death made him feel very guilty. He would not even take his anger on Wang Xuandao, and he had never cared about this matter.

Wu Meiniang said, "Since Your Majesty does not have such an idea, then list Wang Xuandao as the top three. Li Yifu knows the holy intention, and I think he will never dare to do anything randomly. Your Majesty has no need to be angry about this."

Li Zhi said: "This is just the second. Do you know that when the test papers handed to Li Yi Mansion, the number of children of the high-ranking families is only about 20%. This is unprecedented, and the articles are very ordinary. I won't say much about the reason. You should understand. But why I want to promote the imperial examination? I just hope to recruit some wise men to assist me. Li Yi Mansion is very clear about it, but he dares to do whatever he wants, which shows that he doesn't take me seriously at all."

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "I think Li Yifu does this for the sake of imperial examinations and to cater to Your Majesty's policies."

Li Zhi was puzzled when he heard this, "Where do you start?"

Wu Meiniang said: "The imperial examination has not been stopped since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, but it has not been taken seriously. Isn't this because the chief examiners used to take priority in high-ranking surnames? It has led to the poor children being disheartened about the imperial examination. Many people are reluctant to take the imperial examination, and they are more willing to seek refuge in the court's ministers in the name of the imperial examination. I think Ma Zhou did not take the scientific examination at the time, and was a disciple of Chang He's family, so he was discovered by Emperor Taizong.

This time, Your Majesty launched the imperial examinations with the intention of recruiting more talented talents for the court. First of all, more talented talents should come to participate in the imperial examinations. If Your Majesty gives more quotas to poor children this time, the poor children in the world will believe that Your Majesty is really eager to seek talented talents. Then, when the next scientific examination, more talented talents will come to participate in the scientific examinations. Only in this way can the imperial examinations be valued and His Majesty's goal be achieved."

The wind around the pillow must be blown with reason, and Wu Meiniang's eloquence is also top-notch.

Li Zhi's ears were soft again and nodded, "You're not unreasonable." As he said that, he sighed again, "It's just a pity, that's all."
