Chapter 162

Along the way, Zhao Fengshou read the test papers of no less than [-] candidates, most of whom had just written about [-] questions, and the papers were quite scribbled, and all the test takers planned to copy the papers after they made drafts first. on roll.

There are also those who write a lot. Among the more than 300 candidates, there are always some good talents with a relatively solid foundation, or the students who failed the rankings in previous years are already familiar with the rules and environment of the examination room.

Most of the candidates who take the imperial examination for the first time are quite nervous on the first day, and it is difficult to calm down, and often they can't do many questions.

Even so, those candidates who have a solid foundation and experience in the exam have only about 45 questions before and after, and the best one is about [-] questions, but the test paper of that candidate cannot be entered at all. The title can only be reviewed after the final copy.

Young Master Liu's scroll is not the case. Not only has the number of [-] questions been made, but the scroll is clean and tidy, without the slightest drop of ink. It is as clean as the last transcribed thing. This is Zhao Fengshou. reason for staying.

You must know that one hundred questions are three days' worth of questions, and it has just passed more than half a day that Young Master Liu has completed more than half of the questions. Zhao Fengshou couldn't help being surprised.

Looking strangely at First Young Master Liu who seemed to be gnawing on the chicken leg as if no one else was around, Zhao Fengshou rarely stopped and bent over to examine the test paper, which had never happened before.

In fact, the main reason is that Zhao Fengshou doesn't really believe that Young Master Liu can solve these problems in such a short period of time. Either he is an amazing talent or just randomly writes some inexplicable articles below. Zhao Fengshou wants to verify it. If Liu Mingzhi It is really a gifted talent to win the first place, and I am also honored as the chief examiner.

Zhao Fengshou first fiddled with the test paper a few times, and found that only the roll paper and the manuscript paper had no other items before examining the answers. The more he looked, the more he was shocked. None of the first [-] questions had a wrong answer. You know, even he I am not sure that I can do these questions completely and correctly within such a time.

Although Zhao Fengshou is also one of the examiners of the Ministry of Officials, as the chief examiner, he only took charge of [-] questions, and Qi Run and four accompanying examiners were responsible for the remaining questions. Not sure.

Zhao Fengshou had to leave the examination room after only reading twenty questions, and even the chief examiner couldn't stay alone in the examination room of a candidate for too long.

Before leaving, Zhao Fengshou glanced at the number of the examination room intentionally. He had already taken this candidate to heart. Maybe Jinling really wanted to produce a candidate who was right this time.

After Zhao Feng took it away, First Young Master Liu suddenly collapsed to the ground: "Young master is scared to death. I thought I made a mistake. Could it be that I did the wrong question?"

After wiping his hands clean with a towel, First Young Master Liu hurriedly picked up the test paper and began to check one question after another. The answers that were confident before seemed a little weird again.

Young Master Liu pulled his hair and looked confused. Is the answer right or wrong?It feels right, but it seems to be wrong again, and I'm going to die.

Zhao Fengshou didn't expect that his own review made the calm-minded Young Master Liu start to become anxious, and he couldn't read the rest of the questions at all.

"Hmph." A muffled hum woke Liu Mingzhi up from his restlessness.

Qi Run looked at the son-in-law who was scratching his head with a complicated expression, thinking that he had encountered a problem and couldn't continue, so he inadvertently made a calm gesture for Young Master Liu to see, and then left with his hands behind his back.

Qi Run had to do this. Others wanted to avoid suspicion, and his uncle had to avoid suspicion even more. He read the test papers of hundreds of people back and forth, but hurried past Liu Mingzhi's examination room.

Seeing his father-in-law's actions, Young Master Liu also began to adjust his mentality, picked up his pen and continued to write.

Not long after, the sky finally darkened, and the servants with lanterns distributed candles to the candidates one by one, and the candles in the quiet Gongyuan shone brightly.

After Liu Mingzhi lit the candle, he had already done [-] questions at this time. Knowing that the dim light of the candle is the most likely to damage the eyes, Young Master Liu planned to continue writing the test paper tomorrow, and then looked sideways on the simple wooden bed. Looking at the stars all over the sky, he was dazed.

"Jinling under Lord Qi's governance is indeed thriving. Although some students are a little nervous about their first scientific exams, most of them are still in a good mood, and their grades must be very good."

"Master Zhao is absurd. This is because all the students have been studying hard and have a solid foundation. That's why they can do the test questions so peacefully. It has little to do with me."

"Your Majesty Qi is humble. Your Majesty occasionally mentions your name in the palace. I heard that next year I intend to transfer you to the Six Departments as an official. Don't forget to support your subordinates."

Qi Run was overjoyed, but his expression was still calm: "It all depends on His Majesty's kindness. As for whether he can be transferred to the sixth department, it is too early. I dare not make a guarantee with Mr. Zhao."

"Extremely extreme, the weather is unpredictable, and no one can say that it is safe before the time comes. I admire your lord's disposition. There is no wine today. I will use tea instead of wine to wish you every step of the way. I hope that next year you and I will be able to do well." We are ministers in the same palace."

Qi Run also raised the teacup in front of him: "Thank you, you and I will encourage each other."

"Among the more than a thousand students who took the exam, I don't know what good talents you have discovered. The official has long heard that Dangyang Academy has all the talents in the world. It is a pity that the official is from the north, and he has no chance to see Dangyang Academy. The elegant demeanor of the mountain, after seeing the candidates today, you can appreciate the elegant demeanor of the mountain, the students of Dangyang Academy are really extraordinary, and many students solve the questions at a speed that even the lower officials would be ashamed of."

Qi Run frowned: "Oh? Could it be that Mr. Zhao discovered some good talent? I wonder if it is Song Yi from Dangyang Academy, Li Peichao, or Lin Yangming from Yishan Academy and other famous talents in Jinling?"

"Since my lord wants to test and teach my subordinates, I will not hide my secrets. I found two outstanding students. One is a student named Hu Jun. He answered the questions very quickly. Although he didn't know the answer, But judging by its curly appearance, it seems to be a big one.”

"Who is the other?"

"This lower official is not clear either. It stands to reason that the first thing candidates need to do after receiving the test paper is to write their name, but the person actually left out the place where the name was written. I don't know if it is forgotten or it is a personal habit, but this His talent and knowledge are absolutely extraordinary, the official took a cursory look at his answers, and found that none of the twenty questions made mistakes, which is really shocking."

"There is no name? I hope it is not forgotten, otherwise the scriptures will be invalidated."

"But the officer remembers his exam room, number 360."
