Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

In April, the spring scenery is charming and bright.

On this day, the magnificent gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was opened, welcoming the day of the palace examination.

Thanks to his outstanding performance in the Spring Examination, Gu Yan firmly occupied the first place.

He followed the attendant who led the way calmly and walked into the hall with leisurely steps.

The order of entering the palace was determined according to the ranking of the spring examination. Many scholars entered one after another, following closely behind the ceremonial officers. After completing the ceremony in order, they sat down in the seats arranged in advance, quietly waiting for the official start of the palace examination.

The Emperor of Da Qi, sitting on the dragon throne, glanced at the scholars sitting below. Seeing that they were all energetic and high-spirited, he couldn't help feeling very satisfied.

Then, he gently signaled to the examiner below, who understood what he meant and hurriedly announced the test questions that he had prepared long ago.

Surprisingly, today's test questions seemed quite simple compared to previous ones.

The so-called military farming and salt law are indeed the fundamental ways to increase fiscal revenue. However, despite many clear discussions and strict supervision and warnings, no actual results have been achieved. What is the reason?

Speaking of grain, it is the key material to maintain the lives of the three armies; and horses are an indispensable and important force on the battlefield.

But now, due to various discounts, withholdings, arrears and other issues, a large amount of the original amount has been lost. So how can we restore it to the original level?

At this time, after hearing the questions, the expressions on the faces of the many scholars in the hall were different.

Some people quickly picked up their pens and began to write, as if they already had the answer in mind; while others still sat there quietly, frowning, lost in deep thought, thinking about how to deal with the problem.

Gu Yan did not pick up the pen immediately like some other people did. Instead, he frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then slowly reached out to pick up the pen, and then calmly began to write on the test paper.

The Emperor of Da Qi was quite interested in this and personally stepped down from his seat to inspect it.

Strangely enough, just a few days ago, His Majesty the Emperor was still bedridden and in poor health.

But in recent days, his mental state has obviously improved a lot. Otherwise, based on his previous physical condition, it would have been impossible for him to attend and preside over this palace examination.

The emperor slowly walked around the examination room and finally stopped behind Song Yicheng.

He stared at the words written by Song Yicheng, and couldn't help but admire softly in his heart: Well, this young man's handwriting is really good, and the views he expounded are also quite novel!

After looking at it for a while, the emperor continued to move forward.

After walking a few steps, the emperor actually came behind Gu Yan.

He first looked at the test paper that Gu Yan was writing with curiosity, then his eyes lit up and he thought with joy: Hey, this young man's point of view is very novel and unique, and his handwriting is even more beautiful. Every stroke seems to be very elegant, even better than that of the young man just now!

It’s really interesting!

So the emperor stood behind Gu Yan and watched with interest.

However, after a while, perhaps due to limited energy, the emperor felt a little exhausted, so he turned around and went back to the back of the hall to rest.

In the spacious and solemn palace, the chief examiner and deputy examiners sat upright with focused and serious expressions. The staff around them were also busy and conscientiously performing their duties.

No one had expected that the emperor, who had been rumored to be in poor health, would actually come here in person to preside over this crucial palace examination.

Time passed quietly, and after several hours, the palace examination finally came to a successful conclusion.

All the carefully answered papers of the candidates were carefully collected by the responsible personnel and then carefully sealed into special paper boxes.

These boxes filled with hopes and dreams were all sent to the solemn and dignified Wenhua Hall for safekeeping.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window lattices onto the floor of Wenhua Hall, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.

Eight highly respected examiners arrived here early, ready to start the intense and arduous work of examining the papers.

Due to time constraints, they had to complete the review of all the palace examination papers within just two days, and select the top ten from them and submit them to the current emperor to personally select the top three. Only then could the entire marking process be declared complete.

In front of the seats where the ministers who reviewed the papers sat, there was a long table.

The minister in charge of collecting the papers first respectfully took the box and placed it on the table, then carefully opened the seal, took out the papers inside one by one and gently unfolded them.

Afterwards, he methodically distributed the papers one by one in a certain order to the ministers who were in charge of marking the papers.

After receiving the papers, each examiner immediately began to work on marking them carefully and meticulously.

Every time they finished reading a paper, they would solemnly sign their surname on it, but would not write their specific names.

At the same time, a unique special symbol is used to clearly mark the grade assessment corresponding to the paper.

After a examiner has finished reviewing all the papers assigned to him, he will then review the papers that other colleagues have already reviewed.

In this way, through this method of circulating the papers one by one, it is ensured that each paper can be repeatedly considered and judged by multiple examiners, thus ensuring the fairness of the final result to the greatest extent.

This means that every minister in charge of marking the papers can read all the papers submitted by the scholars participating in the palace examination, and they need to write down their evaluation of the pros and cons of each paper on it.

This unique way of marking papers is called "turning table".

The reason for adopting this approach is to effectively prevent the examiners from giving too high or too low scores to the candidates due to their own subjective factors.

In this way, the objectivity and fairness of the assessment results can be maintained to the greatest extent possible.

As for how to judge the quality of these papers?

It is not expressed or explained in words, but is marked and distinguished by specially set symbols.

Specifically, for the marking of the palace examination, the identification symbols used are divided into five categories according to the degree of excellence, namely: "circle", "point", "dot", "straight" and "cross".
