Travel to the Water Margin

Chapter 143 tit for tat
Time passed by every minute and every second.

According to the process, it will take nearly 4 hours to write and transcribe the palace examination.

According to the rules, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, and Zhang Bangchang began to patrol the hall in turn.

Zhang Bangchang immediately came behind Lin Youde.

After looking at the article on Lin Youde's draft, he put on a bitter face, covered his eyes, shook his head and left.

Gao Qiu on the side saw it and was surprised, I'll go, Zhang Bangchang reacted so much?
Could it be that this stupid person wrote the rumored Splendid Mountains and Rivers?
Quiet Mimi turned around half a circle, and approached Lin Youde.

After carefully reading Lin Youde's paper, Gao Qiu nodded in satisfaction and left.

Very well written!Hahaha.

After a while, the elderly Cai Jing also came over to read Lin Youde's article.

He nodded for a while, shook his head for a while, and finally sighed and left.

Lin Youde panicked!
Damn, the three of you are the bombs sent by Mr. Zhao to mess with me, aren't you?

Can you stop acting like this?Isn't it just cheating the three of you?

Lin Youde suddenly felt guilty.

And Zhao Ji sat in the high hall with a puzzled look on his face. Due to the face of the official family, he endured it and pretended to be profound, sitting on the dragon chair and watching.

At this time, Quan Shi stood up and applied for handing in the papers.

The chief eunuch finished the roll, and then Quan Shi quietly withdrew.

Then another wit handed in the paper.

Someone handed in the paper, and the talented scholars below were also in a hurry.

When people are in a hurry, they will make mistakes.

Next to Lin Youde was a talented scholar from the south of the Yangtze River. When he was in a hurry, he left a big ink spot on the scroll.

Looking at the dots of ink, the gifted scholar burst into tears: "Regret, regret, regret."

He was invited out by the eunuch, drove him away, and threw him into the side hall to make him sad alone.

Well, you don't need to look at this buddy, as long as Lin Youde maintains his current strength, the last one will definitely be this Jiangnan talent.

In the end, when all the talents handed in the papers one after another, only Lin Youde was left among them.

Even Gao Qiu, who was optimistic about Lin Youde at first, sighed.

Fortunately, not long after, Lin Youde stopped writing.

"Huh, you talk too much nonsense." Lin Youde exhaled.

"system:"

"Teacher, hand in the paper!" Lin Youde raised his hands high.

"Hey! Don't make any noise!" The chief eunuch walked to Lin Youde and gave him a hard look.

Lin Youde raised his eyebrows and could only retreat first.

They have to wait in the political hall, waiting for Zhao Ji and this group of senior officials to agree on the ranking.

Then the ranking is announced, and then the clothes are changed in the inner courtyard of the palace.

Of course, the top three winners, the second place, and Tanhua also have a privilege to take the emperor's exclusive road once, and parade through the streets after going out, er, it's really a parade.

Three days after returning home, I attended a palace banquet.

On the fourth day, I met with the prime minister to learn the rules of officials.

After Guangzong Yaozu returned home, he chose a day to meet the chief examiner, Zhang Bangchang, because according to the rules of literati, this chief examiner will be the godfather of these Jinshi in the officialdom in the future.

In the future, everyone will be a grasshopper on a hemp rope.

"Close the door! Marking papers!" After Lin Youde left the hall, the door was immediately closed behind him with a bang.

Lin Youde spat, these stingy old men will continue to trick you next time.

The head eunuch slowly handed it to Cai Jing and others for circulation.

Cai Jing nodded.

Cai Jing, as the head of the civil servants, nodded his head, and the officials behind him naturally wanted to save face. Even Gao Qiu could only nod frequently after the circulation.

When the paper comes to the dragon case again.

Zhao Ji opened it and examined it carefully.

Quan Shi's article was written very well. After a long while, Zhao Ji stroked the dragon's beard: "Beautiful pens make flowers come alive, and articles are made naturally."

Finally, tick it and draw a circle on the paper.

Roll after roll and roll.

In the dead of night, a group of Jinshi sat quietly in the political hall, not daring to say a word.

Why?For example:

"Hou..." Quan Shi leaned over to Lin Youde and just said a word.

"No noise." A general in silver armor and a golden sword slung around his waist shouted loudly.

Immediately frightened this group of powerless talents, all of them immediately covered their mouths.

Quan Shi also covered his mouth in fright, his eyes terrified.

On the contrary, it was Lin Youde, with bright eyes, yes, brother, is this the rumored lion's roar?
Come another day.

Then he fell asleep directly on the table, love to wait for yourselves, anyway, I count down to No.2 at the end, sleep first as a respect.

"Woooooo."

Well, it would be better if the Jiangnan talented man next to him who keeps crying all the time can be silenced.

The crescent moon was curved, and Zhao Jinfu propped his face with his hands, looking outside at the brightly lit political hall.

"That stupid man, don't lose face too much."

But then I thought about it, Lin Youde was so stupid, and finally covered his eyes.

"Why do I have a delusion that he wants to be the top pick in high school?"

"Sorry, Wenquxing, for the interruption."

"That idiot, writing a single word is an insult to your dignity."

"Master Di Ji?" The maid at the side looked at her Di Ji suspiciously and muttered to herself.

"Is Lin rich?"

It was Gao Qiu who spoke. He held Lin Youde's paper and looked at the circle on it. He was the last person to be circulated. Out of face, he drew a circle with a frown.

Such a good article, you actually don't like it, you are blinded.

Gao Qiu stood bowed and saluted Zhao Ji first, and the chief eunuch handed the last volume to Zhao Ji.

"Official, this is the last volume."

"En." Zhao Ji waved his hand, but he didn't read it, because there was only one circle on the paper, which meant that only one first-rank official approved it, but there were as many as 12 people present.

This paper is useless.

At this time, a total of more than 400 people participated in the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty, and only [-] people were able to obtain Jinshi.

Four hundred papers are placed in front of Zhao Ji.

Rank according to the number of circles drawn above.

A larger number will naturally move forward, and a smaller number will naturally move to the rear.

There was only one person in more than ten circles, but there were three people in nine circles.

Three people from the first class will be awarded the rank of Jinshi.

This is also called No. [-], No. [-] and Tan Hua.

The second class takes 68 people and gives them Jinshi background.

The third class will take 130 four people, and give them the same background as Jinshi.

Zhao Ji sat still and said leisurely: "Since this is the case, then the ranks of this palace examination will be determined in this way."

Cai Jing agreed, and all the officials congratulated together.

At this moment, an invisible white light flashed into Gao Qiu's eyebrows.

Gao Qiu frowned, straightened his back, and bowed to salute, "Your Majesty, there is something unclear about your Majesty, please allow me."

"What's the matter?"

Gao Qiu pointed to the last volume, "Why doesn't Your Majesty read the last volume? Is it because only the lower officials approve of this article?"

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and felt that what Gao Qiu said was reasonable, so he was about to pick up the scroll at the end and read it.

Then I heard Zhang Bangchang say: "Your Majesty, this last volume is irrelevant, and the meaning of the title will be misunderstood. If you write nonsense, you don't need to read it again."

"Yes, it's okay if you don't read such an article." Cai Jing, who had closed his eyes and fell asleep, opened his eyes and smoothed his long beard. Why should he read such shabby and acid articles again?

"Hmph!" Hearing this, Gao Qiu snorted coldly.

"I still think that the officials can take a look." Gao Qiu struggled again.

Zhang Bangchang said directly: "No."

Cai Jing shook his head: "No, it's a waste of words for this article."

He is just a courtier, even if he shouted loudly, he is indeed not as good as the group of literati in front of him in this area.

What a pity, what a pity.
