rebirth first official

Gao Qiang let out a long breath, and said, "Ming'er, are you serious and so confident?"

Although Gao Zhanming's face was calm, his palms were sweating a little.As for the imperial examination, apart from strength, there was also destiny in it. It is said that no one can guarantee that he will pass the imperial examination.If he was not in good condition that day and failed today, he decided not to blame others and could only prepare for the exam next year.But the test paper he wrote when he was asking questions, he thought he wrote it very well, even if the examiner didn't like his article, he couldn't find anything rebellious, at least it shouldn't be out of the top [-].What's more, Han Baiyue's attitude today really made him a little suspicious.As far as he knows, the imperial examinations have been continuously improved over the years, and the phenomenon of favoritism and fraud has been much less than that of the previous dynasty, but any matter where people participate, there will be injustice, and there will be news of favoritism in the imperial examinations every year.

He invited the officials of Jingzhao Mansion to come forward and call out his examination papers. There is a precedent for this matter, and he is not regarded as a maverick.As for asking Su Yu to host, it was because he believed that Su Yu's character and vision, with Su Yu around, the matter should be fair.If he is indeed not as good as others in the exam, he will naturally accept his fate and wait for the next year's imperial examination.But if someone secretly harmed him, he was not willing to let it go.

Gao Zhanming repeated: "Nephew implores Jingzhao Mansion to transfer the text to the same examiner."

Gao Qiang shook his head slightly, and said: "It's not impossible, but you have to know that if you know how to test the test papers, even the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion think that you are not good, you will not only fail, but also be ridiculed by others "If Gao Zhanming's article is sentenced to fail again, although it is not a crime, it will be a subject of public opinion, and it will also affect his career.The possibility of this result is extremely high. After all, the Jingzhao Mansion does not have such a great right to change the selection results of the meeting. The only thing it can do is to raise doubts, and the decision on whether to accept the challenge lies with the Ministry of Rites.

Gao Zhanming said: "That's why my nephew begged my aunt to order Su Hanlin to preside over it."

Gao Qiang frowned: "Do you trust Su Yuan?"

Gao Zhanming thought for a while, and said: "My nephew just thinks that firstly, Su Hanlin has a good reputation, and secondly, he has no grievances with his nephew, so his status is more suitable. If Su Hanlin sentenced his nephew, others would not think that the queen mother and the emperor were doing favoritism for me; if the nephew still failed, Su Hanlin and our Gao family have never been close, and if he judged his nephew to be unsuccessful, others might think that he deliberately did not accept his nephew It may not be because my nephew did not answer the test paper badly, but my nephew can save some face."

"Ha." Hearing this, Gao Qiang couldn't help laughing, and said, "What a cunning little fox, you will really find yourself a step down. The Ai family is also really curious, will Su Xuan know how to do it?" Accept your test paper. Come on, come on, the Ai family has always liked smart people the most. Since you questioned the need for a retrial, the Ai family will help you out for your father's sake. The Ai family will send someone to find out at Jingzhao Mansion. Yes. But if you still fail, what will you do if you interrupt?"

Gao Zhanming said: "My nephew only wants to assist the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

Only then did Gao Qiang nod in satisfaction: "Okay, you go back and wait."

After hearing this, Gao Zhanming thanked Gao Qiang for his kindness, and then went back to Zongxue.

Two days later, the Jingzhao Mansion really transferred Gao Zhanming's test papers for the provincial examination that day and handed them over to the Ministry of Rites, and asked the Ministry of Rites to produce Gao Zhanming's test papers for the general examination.

As soon as this matter came out, Beijing and China immediately discussed it.Gao Zhanming won the Jieyuan of Zhongjingzhao Mansion that day, and the scenery is boundless. Since the founding of the country, the imperial examinations have been held for decades, and there are only a dozen people who have been ranked in Jingzhao Mansion but failed in the examination. Thinking that Gao Zhanming had stepped into the officialdom with one foot, some people even compared him with Su Yu, guessing whether he could win three yuan in a row.Many people were surprised that Gao Zhanming failed the ranking, but the Jingzhao Mansion came forward to request a retrial, which completely pushed the matter to a climax!For a while, people who knew or didn't know Gao Zhanming were talking about this matter.

After Han Hai heard the news that Jingzhaofu asked for a retrial of Gao Zhanming's test paper, he scolded Han Baiyue angrily: "Look at what you did! This time Jingzhaofu came forward to ask for a retrial, what should we do?!"

Han Baiyue didn't expect that Jingzhao Mansion would stand up for Gao Zhanming, so she said displeasedly: "Father, what are you afraid of? It's just a process to transfer the document and retrial. The exams failed, and they felt that they had lost face, so they made trouble out of nothing. Throughout the ages, how many times have the results been changed after re-reading? , if it is really necessary to change the rank of Jinshi, it is a matter of great importance and involves a lot, and it cannot be changed with a few questions from the Jingzhao government. As long as the examiner of the Ministry of Rites can explain the reason why Gao Zhanming failed, the matter will not be settled. "

Han Haidao: "But I heard that the imperial court appointed Su Yu to preside over this retrial. Originally, we only needed to send our officials from the Ministry of Rites to be fair, but the imperial court specially sent Su Yu here, which shows that they attach great importance to it." This matter. You also said that Gao Zhanming is just a lost son of the Gao family, and he is not taken seriously at all, how can this be so?!"

Han Baiyue said: "I don't know what kind of tricks that Gao Zhanming used...Anyway, Dad, don't worry about it! What about Su Yu? Gao Zhanming himself has no right to browse his test paper, and that paper was in Su Yu's hands. Even if there are ten Su Yu, Gao Zhanming will still be sentenced to failure!"

Han Hai sighed, "That's all I can hope for."

After a few days, the examiner from Jingzhao Mansion came to the Ministry of Rites with the essays written by Gao Zhanming during the rural examination. The Ministry of Rites brought out the examination papers of Gao Zhanming's general examination, and Su Yu supervised the notarization on the spot.

Su Yu, the examiner of Jingzhao Mansion and the examiner of the Ministry of Rites sat in a room, Su Yu sat at the head, and the examiner of Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Rites sat opposite each other, exchanging test papers in their hands.

Regarding Gao Zhanming's participation in the scientific examination, Su Yu was still puzzled. He once suspected that the Gao family had arranged it deliberately, but before Li Jingruo left Beijing, he repeatedly asked him to pay attention to Gao Zhanming, thinking that he was an outlier among the wealthy and famous families, so he also He had secretly inquired about Gao Zhanming's news.In this year's imperial examination, Su Yu is the examiner, but not the examiner.He also paid attention to the progress of the scientific examination, especially after Gao Zhanming won the Zhongjie Yuan, he has been waiting for the results of the examination to see how far Gao Zhanming can do it.If Gao Zhanming was in high school, maybe he would have suspected that the Gao family was helping the flames, but Gao Zhanming's failure was more unexpected than Gao Zhanming's high school.He has read Gao Zhanming's article, but he can't be called a genius, but as long as he plays steadily, it is not difficult to pass the examination!

After the Jingzhao government examiner got Gao Zhanming's test paper, Su Yu kept observing his expression.The examiner of Jingzhao Mansion looked more and more ugly. Looking at Gao Zhanming's test paper, he couldn't help shaking his head, and kept muttering: "How could this be? How could this be?"

In a short while, the two sides finished marking the papers.

The examiner of the Ministry of Rites said: "This Juzi's essay in the local examination is really extraordinary, and it is reasonable to get the answer. It's just that he knows the essay in the examination, but..."

The examiner of Jingzhao Mansion shook his head and put Gao Zhanming's test paper aside: "I didn't expect that it was probably because he was in poor condition during the test, and he plummeted. There is nothing wrong with failing this kind of test paper. Alas! It's a pity, really. Pity!"

Su Yu finally couldn't help it and said, "Let me see."

The two hurriedly got up and handed the two test papers to Su Yu.Su Yuan first read Gao Zhanming's examination papers for the rural examination, and then he nodded slightly after seeing the end.He picked up Gao Zhanming's exam paper again, and after reading only a few lines, his expression became more and more serious...

Gao Zhanming is not qualified to read his own paper, and this matter is a negotiation between the examiner of Jingzhao Prefecture and the examiner of the Ministry of Rites, he cannot participate, so he can only wait for the news in Zongxue.

Yinhe anxiously walked around beside him: "Master, why don't you wait outside the Ministry of Rites. This servant is dying of anxiety."

Gao Zhanming said: "Just wait. Fate is mine, and it will be mine after all. If it's not, you can't force it. Your father has already done his best, now just wait and obey the fate."

After an unknown amount of time, another eunuch sent from the palace came to summon him, saying that the Empress Dowager wanted to take Gao Zhanming into the palace.

Yin He anxiously said: "Master, why did the Empress Dowager ask you to enter the palace again? You still failed the ranking, shouldn't the Ministry of Rites issue a document? Will this matter come to fruition?"

Gao Zhanming also didn't understand this matter, but since Gao Qiang summoned him, he went out and followed the people sent by the palace into the palace.

Gao Zhanming entered the palace, and found that this time not only Gao Qiang was waiting for him, Su Yu was also in the palace.As soon as Gao Zhanming arrived, Gao Qiang said to Su Yu with a cold face: "The man is here, if you have anything to ask, just ask quickly. The Ministry of Rites is still waiting for you to say something."

Su Yuan came out of the Ministry of Rites and entered the palace. Gao Qiang asked him what the result was, but he said that there was still doubt about the matter, and he had to meet Gao Zhanming for questioning in person before he could conclude the matter.According to common sense, Jingzhao Mansion has an objection and transfers the paper to the examiner for re-examination. It is often just a face-saving process, and almost no one has actually changed the result of the examination.After all, the list of candidates has already been released. If the list of candidates is to be changed, firstly, the imperial court will lose its credibility, and secondly, it will involve a lot of things.Originally, the matter of grading papers is also different from person to person. If there are not too many objections to the article, in the end, you can only muddle along.However, Su Yu refused to announce the result on the spot in the Ministry of Rites, which made Gao Qiang feel more and more confused.

Su Yu asked Gao Zhanming: "How was your condition on the day of the exam?"

Gao Zhanming was stunned for a moment, and said, "I feel that...the condition is very good."

Su Yu said again: "What rhyme do you rhyme in your poem?"

Gao Zhanming replied: "The Fourteenth Cold."

Su Yu was silent for a moment, then asked slowly: "Do you still remember the first sentence of your policy question, how to start? The last sentence, how to end?"

Naturally, Gao Zhanming would not forget, and immediately responded fluently.

After listening to his answer, Su Yu let out a long breath, turned to Gao Qiang and said, "Queen Mother, I have already made up my mind on this matter."

Both Gao Qiang and Gao Zhanming waited nervously and curiously for him to continue talking.

Su Ti said: "I have read Gao Zhanming's Zhu Juan in the exam. There are many typos, and the form and spirit are scattered. I don't know what to say. I think that it is reasonable to fail based on that exam paper. It is not the fault of the examiner."

After hearing this, both Gao Qiang and Gao Zhanming were astonished, and Gao Zhanming even took a deep breath: There are many typos?How can this be? !

Immediately afterwards, I only heard Su Yu continue: "Ranchen asked to read Gao Zhanming's ink scroll for re-examination. I suspect that there may be omissions in the review of the scroll by the Ministry of Rites, which caused the difference between the ink scroll and the ink scroll."

Su Yu said this very tactfully, Gao Qiang almost stood up in surprise: "You mean, someone cheated for personal gain and exchanged Gao Zhanming's scroll?!"
