Lord Ren and Lord Zhou were only a few steps away from the main courtyard.

The conversation between the two could be heard clearly by the other scoring officers who cleaned up the test papers in the room.

Among them, there is Lord Yun.

At this time, his face was slightly stiff, and together with the other scoring officers, he walked out quickly.

Lord Zhou was still in a daze at this meeting, unable to screen out the test papers for Lord Ren in time.

And the scoring officer of Master Yun and his party has already greeted him, and he hastily respectfully said.

"I have seen Mr. Ren, I have seen all of you fellow examiners."

Several adults in the same examiner saw that there was a child of the Yun family in the salute, and couldn't help but smile at him, but Mr. Ren just glanced at a few scoring officers lightly, nodded faintly, and treated him equally, and did not treat Mr. Yun differently. .

Lord Ren turned his head and looked at Lord Zhou again, repeating it.

"This lord, that article?"

Only then did Master Zhou fully react, with a sudden surprise on his face, holding the test paper in one hand, and freeing the other hand, ready to find the article for Master Ren.

At this moment, Master Yun, who bowed his head, had a bad premonition inexplicably.

His eyes rolled slightly, and his round face raised a close smile.

"Master Ren, the unsuccessful examination paper has already been classified as unsuccessful. If you take it out separately, is it a bit of non-compliance?"

Mr. Ren still had that smile.

"Even if it's not this article, I deliberately check my whereabouts and choose the test paper."

"I heard that during the Kaisheng years, there was the responsible examiner who would select the unsuccessful examination papers, so as not to be left behind by the sea. I was just following the example of the sages."

During the Kaisheng period, it was the period of Taizu Yan, which means "opening the prosperous age". The imperial examination was also proposed by Taizu Yan at that time. It is not considered to be completely controlled by the family, but also extremely responsible.

And now, the aristocratic family headed by the "Bai family" dominates the government, and the chief examiners, even if they are not members of the Bai family, are mostly afraid to compete with the family, and they are too lazy to pick test papers on their own. What is used will not be reused, so what is the use of digging it out.

Therefore, for many years, no chief examiner will personally check the unsuccessful examination papers.

Master Yun first allowed the adults to make an analogy with the things in the prime of the year. It was justified and well-founded. In history, there were people who had pioneered them, and for a while, they were speechless and didn't know how to answer the conversation.

When Lord Yun was speechless, Lord Zhou's joyful voice came out.

"Found it! Lord Ren!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to pass the red "Zhujuan" in his hand to Master Ren, but after halfway through, Master Zhou was pierced by the sun before he realized that he didn't invite Master Ren to do it in the house.

Master Zhou was a little at a loss.

"Sir Ren, there are a few adults with the same examiner, don't go to the house and look again."

Several adults with the examiner were noncommittal and looked at Master Ren together, waiting for his opinion.

But Master Ren raised his head, looking at the gentle sunlight above his head, his eyes condensed slightly.

"It's okay, just here."

Master Ren gently stroked the long beautiful beard, his face indistinctly emotional.

"This is the long-lost sunshine."

As soon as this words came out, Master Yun's heart was suddenly shocked, and the rest of the light swept over the "Yunyan" on Master Ren's official uniform, which was almost at first glance.

Others might think that Shengjing's recent long-lasting cloudy sky was mentioned by Master Ren, but Master Yun, who is very sensitive to the movements of the court, consciously has a different meaning.

It seems that my father is right, and the new chief examiner is a stubborn mistake.

At this time, Lord Ren had already taken the test papers from Lord Zhou.

The other scoring officers all know what the content of the test paper in the hands of Mr. Ren is. Since Mr. Ren wants to read it, the other scoring officers besides Mr. Yun are also curious. How will Mr. Ren react when he sees this test paper?

Unexpectedly, Master Ren just swept the article from top to bottom very calmly, his eyes light from beginning to end.

Calmly let the officials at the scene admire, such a shocking work, it is impossible to make Mr. Ren more expression.

If it wasn't for the lack of essays, it was because Mr. Ren was extremely calm.

All the scoring officers present have seen the article, so naturally I think it is the second kind.

However, several of the same examiners have never met, and they are a little curious for a while. Could it be that this excellent article is not worthy of the truth, and it is not worthy of the eyes of adults?

Several of the same examiners craned their necks, hoping to take a peek at the article in Master Ren's hand.

Of course, the movements fluctuated a little bit, and it was immediately discovered by Mr. Ren.

Master Ren still had that faint expression, and handed it to the nearest examiner next to him, that is, Master Xu.

"Look at it too."

Master Xu took it carefully, and then unfolded.

The next moment, I was stunned.

When several scoring officers saw this, they couldn't help nodding their heads. This was a normal reaction. As expected, Lord Ren was too strong in his heart.

Several other people saw the same examiner and saw the exaggerated expression of Mr. Xu, they all came together. After a while, this test paper was in the hands of the same examiners and circulated it over and over again, but every one of the same examiners just finished reading it. The expressions are exactly the same as Mr. Xu.

To say that these same examiners, whether they agree with the opinions in the test paper or not, it is undeniable that this is indeed a peerless article.

Even some of the same examiners who highly respect the Confucian and Mencius doctrines feel that they are soon to be persuaded after reading them.

It's just that everyone looked at the chief examiner with a faint look, and they had no idea, and it was inconvenient to express their opinions.

But the lord Ren raised his eyebrows.

"What's wrong? Let's talk about it after reading it."

Several of the examiners looked at each other, because they couldn't figure out the attitude of being an adult, and no one wanted to be such an early bird.

In the end, Master Xu was pushed out.

Master Xu bitterly glanced at the same examiner who pushed him out, a little annoyed on his face, but still had to bite the bullet, Master Xu thought that Master Ren was a generous person, and replied according to his own heart.

"Returning to Lord Ren, this article is indeed an excellent article, comparable to peerless. Although the viewpoints discussed in it deny the words of the saint, it is a bit rebellious, but regardless of the arguments and arguments, they are all reasonable, and although the writing is quite smoky, The examples cited are also trivial things around me, but it is precisely because of this that I am waiting to be on the scene and understand the deep meaning of the article. In the end, I also point out that the words of the saint have their background in the era, and they can be considered as a saint. It’s a dignity, as seen by the following officials, this article must be among the top three, and it’s a shame to lose the election."

But as soon as Mr. Xu's voice fell, he suddenly heard a slightly stern voice from Mr. Ren, who was usually kind on his head.

"Master Xu, you also know that this article is suspected of violating the law, so you want him to enter the top three?"

"But you think the black yarn on top of your head is too stable?"

As soon as Mr. Ren spoke, he just felt that Mr. Ren's generous face turned pale, and he fell to his knees after a plop.

"Next... I don't dare to subordinate officials."

Mr. Ren gave a heavy "hum", as if he really felt that this article was rebellious.

When other officials on the scene saw this, they figured out the implications. It seems that Lord Ren is not optimistic about this article.

Master Zhou even said that it was bad. First, he thought that the examiner would be delighted to see this article, and he would not lose the election. Unexpectedly, he has been bored by Master Ren now. How can this be?

Lord Zhou worried that Lord Ren would hold the candidate to blame.

After Lord Ren, he ignored Lord Xu, who was kneeling, and turned to ask Lord Xiang Zhou instead.

"This article was rejected by you at the time? What is the reason?"

Lord Zhou was full of depression at this time. At first he heard that Mr. Ren asked questions, but before he had time to answer, he was snatched by another scoring officer on the side.

"Although Lord Zhou judged the test paper, Lord Yun said the reason."

After finishing speaking, the scoring officer looked at Master Yun with some diligence, as if he had made a name for him.

And everything that happened just now was truly in the eyes of Lord Yun.

Including, Ren adults whose attitude has changed suddenly.

This man who was just a stubborn stubborn in his eyes, suddenly acted like this, he couldn't understand.

Unexpectedly, before he could figure it out, he was pushed out by another scoring officer. For a while, Lord Yun felt a little irritable.

But having been pushed out, Master Yun had no choice but to nod and admit.

"It's what the lower official said."

This time, to Master Shangyun, Master Ren's voice was a lot gentler.

"The reason?"

This is something that everyone knows, Master Yun can't hide it, then continued.

"The reason is that the saint is infallible."

Hearing this, Lord Ren was indeed a little bit more happy in his voice.

"I see."

When Master Yun heard this, his vigilance was slightly relaxed. Although this Master Ren, their "Protectionists" have not won, but they seem to be a pedantic person. Needless to say this article, Master Ren himself is not happy.

In this way, he doesn't have to toss about it anymore.

Sure enough, Lord Ren said next.

"Since Master Yun has criticized so well, I deserve to reward you."

Master Yun quickly handed over.

"How dare you dare."

But I didn't agree with it in my heart. In the final analysis, Lord Ren was nothing but an old pedant, and he didn't have two or two silvers, so what kind of reward he could see.

Master Ren's words did not stop because of Master Yun's words, but continued instead.

"It's better to ask the Lord..."

As soon as this sentence came out, all the officials present changed their faces.

Is it going to be promoted to Lord Yun?

Unexpectedly, Master Ren's next sentence turned sharply, and his tone suddenly became serious.

"How about letting Master Yun go to the Ministry of Industry?"

The meaning is obvious, it is for Master Yun to be transferred to the Ministry of Engineering.

As soon as these words came out, the official who had just changed his face changed even more. Among them, it was Master Yun that became the most serious.

He is now a fifth-grade official as a ritual doctor, but the Ministry of Industry is just a seventh-grade official.

Several ranks fell all at once, how can Master Yun be happy!

And everyone really understood what Lord Ren meant.

He, very happy, that excellent article!

Master Yun couldn't kneel to the ground like Master Xu, but he also trembled and said.

"I don't know what the subordinates did? Mr. Ren should deal with the subordinates like this?"

Master Ren took a lot of time this time, and gently stroked his beard.

"Jade does not distinguish, does not understand the truth, blindly respects the ancients, does not know how to take its essence, discard its dross, how can you walk in the Ministry of Rites, do you think I should treat you like this?"

"No official..."

"Is there any, you said it doesn't count, but your actions have been proved."

"and…"

At this moment, Master Ren paused and turned back to the kneeling Master Xu.

"Get up, get my pen."

Master Xu's heart was like falling from a high mountain to the flat ground, up and down suddenly, unable to settle down, knowing that Master Ren was not really angry with him, he hurriedly presented the pen.

Master Ren glanced at the trembling Master Yun, and then drew a picture on the test paper in his hand, and said coldly at Master Xu.

"Furthermore, what you stopped was the exam paper for the first name in the exam."

The next moment, Master Ren raised the test paper in his hand, and a touch of black suddenly appeared on the vermilion test paper.

There is a word written on it—

middle.
