The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

This Xu Jie really didn't miss any chance to harm him.

The literary meeting his son Xu Erla Luo Wanhua attended really had a conspiracy, but he was thwarted on the spot because he happened to meet at the meeting!

But one plan failed, and another plan was raised.What the hell is this Xu Jie planning!

He lost another mind reading technique and continued to read minds.

Xu Jie said in his heart: Li Zhi is my nephew, and I asked him, a great master of questions, to deliberately disclose 15 questions to the outside world, so as to reduce the scope of your choice of questions.Coupled with Li Zhi's strong ability to guess questions, and the spying of my people lurking around you, I will definitely be able to get or guess a few of your questions!Then·····"

When Mind Reading heard this, Xu Jie suddenly restrained his thoughts and said with a smile: "Time is running out, everyone should hurry up and get on the road!"

Yan Song's mind reading skills were temporarily interrupted.Because Xu Jie didn't want to do this anymore.

But Yan Song still gained a lot.

The so-called peeping through the tube, Yan Song already knew three things.

. .

Chapter 1074 Imperial Examination Fraud Case [3]

Through the mind reading technique just now, Yan Song already knew three things.

One is that Xu Jie is trying every means to get or guess the scope of his questions.

Second, beside Yan Song, Xu Jie's spies were still lurking.

The third is that Xu Jie bought the major parties and is fighting for the spot of the 18th room examiner.

Yan Song's eyes froze.

Nima, Xu Jie is really cunning and cunning.

There must be a huge conspiracy lurking in these three things.

Why did Xu Jie fight for the same examiner spot?

There are 18 examiners in total, also called room teachers, which coincidentally correspond to the room number 18 of the exam.It's like a marking teacher!

Undoubtedly, although the grade status of these marking teachers is not as high as the chief examiner and deputy chief examiner, "[-]" has the power to kill the candidates!

It can even be said that they are more important than the chief examiners for the impact of the imperial examinations!

Because there are five processes for judging the imperial examination papers, they are sealing, transcribing, proofreading, marking the papers, and filling in the rankings.

First of all, after the papers are collected, there must be a special person to seal them. Sealing is to seal the papers. It is similar to the current college entrance examination. take care of.

To transcribe is to hire a special scribe to transcribe the examinee's papers onto separate paper.In other words, the papers judged by the teacher are not the original papers of the candidates, but the versions transcribed by the scribes.This is done to prevent someone from using special handwriting or agreed lack of writing (such as a word missing a hook or dot) as a mark to collude with the marking teacher to cheat.In case of typos, the transcriptionist should mark the typos as a basis for deducting points.

Proofreading means that someone specially assigned to proofread the transcribed papers to prevent the transcriber from deliberately making mistakes and causing losses to candidates.

The judging process is the most complicated.First of all, the examiners in the 18th room have to judge the papers in their own rooms. When they encounter a paper that they think can be taken, they recommend it to the deputy chief examiner. This is called "recommendation paper".

If the deputy chief examiner thinks it is good, he will write the word "take" on the paper and recommend it to the chief examiner. If it is not good, he will type it back directly.

If the chief examiner thinks it is good, he will write another word "Zhong" on the paper, which together with the deputy chief examiner means "Take Zhong".It means that this paper has been selected and can enter the top 400.The chief examiner also has the right to directly grade the selected papers according to the first, second, and third grades.

In the end, the chief examiner and the deputy chief examiner have the power to inspect each room and pick up the discarded papers for spot checks.If they think that the failed papers are actually good, they are eligible to be directly selected.This is called "picking up the falling papers", but according to the unwritten rules of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the papers that were lucky enough to be picked up by picking up the falling papers cannot enter the second class, and at most can only be the third class.

It can be seen that under the continuous summarization of experience in the past dynasties, the imperial examination has developed extremely maturely, and it is an interlocking and seamless process.

But no matter how perfect the system is, there are always loopholes that can be exploited.

Yan Song judged that Xu Jie was trying to find a way to take advantage of the same examiner.

He contacted major parties and used his powerful political power to fight for the spot of the 18th room examiner.With his current position as Minister of Rites, he happens to be responsible for managing the selection of fellow examiners!

In this way, Xu Jie has a deputy chief examiner and most of the 18 room examiners!

Yan Song's heart trembled, and cold sweat flowed down.

Only then did he realize that before he knew it, Xu Jie was already laying an extremely vicious trap for him, intending to frame him and put him to death!

The key to this trap is Jiajing's emphasis on Ding Wei's imperial examination!There is also the severe punishment for the chief examiner in the ancestral law, the Luncai Grand Ceremony, and the national selection system!

How miserable can an examiner be?

Take a chestnut.

In the 30th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, during the Chunwei Examination, the chief examiners Liu Sanwu and Bai Xintao selected 52 candidates including Song Cong from hundreds of applicants across the country, but unexpectedly, these 52 candidates were all southerners.

The northerners were in an uproar and were extremely dissatisfied... thinking that because Liu Sanwu and Bai Xintao were from the south, they deliberately favored the south and suppressed the north.

Northern Juzi was determined to seek justice, and soon developed from a group discussion to a mob riot.The news finally reached the palace, alarming the court.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very shocked, and hurriedly called Liu Sanwu, the chief examiner, to meet him.Zhang Xin of the Hanlin Academy was also sent to preside over the examination review.

However, after Zhang Xin’s re-examination, he also determined that the best test papers of the northern students were far from the 52nd in the southern test papers, and it was fair not to admit the northern students.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang held the national imperial examination with the intention of cultivating a group of northern students to strengthen the defense of the northern border.However, Liu Sanwu has an upright temperament and disagrees with changing the test results, so he has a tough fight with the emperor.

Facing Liu Sanwu, who only believed in death, Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry. Under his instruction, the Criminal Ministry fabricated that Liu Sanwu and Bai Xinwu were the Blue Party, and Zhang Xin was the Hu Party, with the intention of conspiracy.Liu Sanwu was exiled into the army, while Zhang Xin and Bai Xinwu were executed by Ling Chi!

It was just because of a dispute over imperial examinations that the chief examiner was exiled into the army, and the deputy chief examiner was executed Ling Chi!

In the Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng sentenced Zhang Tinglu, the chief examiner who sold the questions before the exam, to be cut in half. Zhang Tinglu was chopped into two sections and survived on the ground for half a day.

Just ask if you are afraid?Just ask if you accept it or not?
