Chapter 216 Turning the Table
After throwing the test paper into the wastebasket, Du Shenghui was inexplicably relieved, but also inexplicably ashamed.

Really mixed flavors, one after another.

There was still one quota left, and at this time, the examination papers for the second round of the "Five Classics" had already been delivered.

Looking at the papers at hand, there are still more than 100 papers that have not been read. Duzhi County still has the mind to choose, so I randomly picked one from them, wrote random tweets, put them together among the seven papers with joints, and sent them to Go to the two big master rooms.

After going out, he took a breath of the hot summer air outside. Du Shenghui was suddenly a little depressed, and thought: "I am also a son of a famous family, a Jinshi and a decent person in a famous school. But I am so disturbed by a mere Gao Wen , It's out of style, it's out of style... This person is really hateful!"

This time the imperial court sent out the exams, Li Zhen and Shu Richang were in charge of admitting the candidates.However, there is an unspoken rule in officialdom.Li Zhen is the main examiner, responsible for the "Four Books" questions, and the first test is directly related to the candidate's success in the exam.Therefore, it is up to Chief Examiner Li to decide who to admit.And Shu Richang's "Five Classics" titles are just auxiliary.

Arriving at Li Zhen's room, Du Zhixian saw that there were already several inner curtain officials sitting there, all of whom were talking with Grandmaster.

Seeing Du Shenghui, all the officials laughed and said: "The magistrate Du came so late, this is the room examiner, and you are the last one to recommend."

Du Shenghui cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I read the paper slowly, I can't compare to you." Then he bowed to Li Zhen: "I have seen the great master of the imperial envoy."

"Well, here it is, let's put it here!" Li Zhen pointed to the long case.

The papers on that case have piled up like a mountain, and Shu Richang is registering them one by one.He smiled at Du Shenghui and said, "The imperial examination is a major national event, so it's good to be more careful."

He glanced at the examiners again, and said, "You guys, it's a bit sloppy to do things. You have been recommended so early, and there is no way to pass the time, so you come to us and sit around."

All the officials laughed, and then asked Du Shenghui, "Master Du County, you recommend the papers so late, you are a careful person, you must have selected some good papers, come here and let's have a look."

Du Zhixian has a ghost in his heart, how can he let others see the recommendation paper in his hand.Those essays with joints are really not very good. After weeding out the test paper that looks like a high essay, I really have nothing to show for it.

He said, "Do you have any good papers to read?"

All the inner curtain officials laughed, and said that the topic of this subject is too simple, and there are no good articles.

But he refused to say more.

Seeing this situation, everyone thought that Du Shenghui wanted to talk to the two chief examiners in private, so they all got up and said goodbye.

"Master Du, do you have something to do? Do you have any good papers to recommend?" Seeing the inner curtain officials leaving, Shu Richang repeated this question as he did with the examiners before.

In fact, the group of inner curtain officials came here just now, first because they had nothing to do and came to chat, and second, they also wanted to recommend the good papers at hand to themselves and Chief Examiner Li, so as to strive for a good ranking.If his own recommendation paper ranks high, as a room teacher, he will also be honored.

Of course, it's hard to guarantee that no one will accept favors, so let's talk about it.However, without conclusive evidence, it is hard to say anything.

It is the responsibility of the room division to recommend good papers, which is reasonable, reasonable and legal.

Du Shenghui had a lot of papers with knuckles left in his hand, the quality was in a mess, how dare he make a fool of himself by presenting them.He gave a dry laugh: "No, it's up to the two great masters to decide everything."

As he spoke, he put the pile of papers on the long case.

Shu Richang smiled: "Really?"

At this time, Li Zhen, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed, opened his tired eyes and said, "Master Du has a public heart, and he is worthy of being Wang Shangshu's favorite student, not bad!"

Shu Richang was also full of relief, and nodded.

Du Zhixian suddenly felt guilty and ashamed.

He was the last one to recommend the test paper, and next, it was the turn of the two Grandmaster primary selections.This matter is also simple, but it is to browse together to see if there are any obvious problems.If not, it will be put on the turntable for joint trial.In fact, there are more than 100 papers recommended by Master Shibafangfang, which is too many.Next came the papers for the second and third rounds, and the two great masters couldn't even read them carefully.

For them, the next thing is very simple, and it is not the case for Duzhi County.

He didn't bother to look at the papers for the next two rounds. He only picked out the "Five Classics" articles, strategies, and test post poems of the eight candidates he had recommended, and roughly reviewed them for the first trial.Seeing that the format is correct, and there is no violation, it is recommended as usual.

This is just as Feng Zhizhou said, anyway, the "Four Books" essays of these eight people have been recommended, and the following strategies have nothing to do with the results of the exam, and they are completely reduced to empty strategies.

Soon, the three exams ended, and more than 4000 candidates from Shaanxi Province appeared.And the great masters have finished reviewing the recommended papers, and this year's rural examination will start to turn tables and review.

The table-turning joint trial was the most critical moment in the imperial examination room.After all, just because a candidate's paper is recommended, it doesn't mean that you will be able to pass the exam, and you will have to be eliminated by more than half in this link.

The so-called joint review is to combine the three test papers of the one hundred candidates recommended and distribute them to the curtain officials in the eighteen rooms.According to their preferences, they use a pen to mark five symbols: circle, horizontal, vertical, triangle, and difference.After going through this one time, you will be selected according to the number of rows that are circled, and handed over to the two main examiners to determine the final [-] Chinese-style candidates.

Because the papers have to be graded by all the examiners, it can basically be made open, fair and fair.

Of course, this level is not without loopholes.Those who have no personal relationship with the examiners will also move around, take the papers, and ask colleagues to take care of them.But first of all, you have to ensure that the papers of candidates with joints can be recommended, and you happen to recognize them.

Therefore, although there are such things as human favors in the examination room, under the strict examination system, all possible frauds are minimized.

Moreover, during the round-the-table joint examination, all the examiners must work together in the lobby, and all the papers must be reviewed together.If someone cheats, they will be discovered immediately by everyone, and they will inevitably be impeached, dismissed from office and pursued legal responsibility.

This is not like scoring a test paper in a scoring room. You can throw it aside or recommend it if you only read a broken question and a continuation question.You have to dig out word by word, and mark word by word with a pen, so naturally it won't be fast.

Because, it will take at least ten days until the case is finally released, so there is no rush.

Du Shenghui naturally knew the quality of the papers he recommended.He was a young official with a thin skin, and his heart was beating wildly.I'm afraid that there will be ghosts during the trial and everyone will laugh at me.
