rebirth first official

In the examination of the Ministry of Rites, the system of sealing, naming and transcription is adopted.Candidates copy the examination papers with ink pens, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites seal the names of the candidates and then copy them with ink pens.The marking officer marks the Zhu Juan, so that the marking officer does not know the examinee's name and surname, nor can he recognize the handwriting, so as to prevent fraud.

The examination paper that the Ministry of Rites called out for Su Yu and the examiner of Jingzhao Mansion to check was the Zhu Juan. Gao Zhanming’s Zhu Juan was full of inscriptions and mediocre writing skills. It was indeed reasonable for the examiner to judge him to fail.If Su Yu didn't know who Gao Zhanming was, after reading the test paper, he would probably think that Gao Zhanming was in a bad state on the day of the test, which resulted in a mess in the test paper.But he had read Gao Zhanming's article before, and he could tell from his conscience that Gao Zhanming's literary talents and political opinions were indeed rare, and his essays in the local examination were also amazing. For such a student, even if his condition was not good that day, at most his writing was wrong. Or if the writing is scattered, how can you write a series of typos?It's suspicious!

Because of this, Su Yu was puzzled and refused to give an answer to the Ministry of Rites, but must ask Gao Zhanming face to face.Sure enough, Gao Zhanming's answer was different from what he saw on the scroll, and that scroll was not the test paper that Gao Zhanming answered.

Gao Zhanming was also surprised: "Su Hanlin, isn't that my article on the scroll you saw?"

Su Yu said: "I'm afraid not. Unless the Ministry of Rites adjusted the wrong test paper."

Gao Qiang couldn't help feeling a little headache now.At first, he thought it was just the examiner from the Ministry of Rites who didn't like Gao Zhanming's essay, so he was sentenced to fail, but he never expected that Zhu Juan might be exchanged.Once this matter is thoroughly investigated, it will really be a big matter and the people involved will be very serious.

Seeing Gao Qiang groaning silently, Su Yuan probably guessed her thoughts, and immediately knelt down in front of the hall: "I am sure that the Queen Mother ordered a thorough investigation of this matter." Therefore, he extremely hated the occurrence of favoritism and fraud in the imperial examination.

Gao Qiang said: "This matter involves a lot, the Ai family knows, you go back first, the Ai family will send someone to investigate."

Hearing Gao Qiang's perfunctory tone, Su Yu knew that she might not seriously investigate this matter thoroughly, so she still knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, just ask the Ministry of Rites to call out Gao Zhanming's ink scroll immediately, and compare the two, then you will be able to Judge right from wrong. If Gao Zhanming's ink scroll and the Zhu scroll really do not match, he may not be the only test paper with problems."

Gao Zhanming quickly knelt down beside Su Yu: "The Queen Mother."

Gao Qiang rubbed his temples with a headache: "After all, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are officials ordered by the imperial court. There is no real evidence. It's not good to question them at will."

Su Yu said: "You don't have to worry about the Empress Dowager, I have my own method. After the list is released, the subordinate staff of the Ministry of Rites will check the test papers of those who have passed the exam. It’s all but nothing. The Empress Dowager can issue an order to my minister to preside over the examination, and my minister will definitely check the imperial examination papers with all my heart, and if there is any malpractice for personal gain, I will bring the offender to justice!”

Gao Qiang has always been aware of the existence of favoritism and fraud in the imperial examinations, but the children of the Gao family do not need to rely on the imperial examinations, so she never cared about them, and even hoped that the imperial examinations would be more chaotic, so that they would be banned as soon as possible.This time, it was because of Gao Zhanming that she started to care about the imperial examination. She didn't expect to bring up such a big issue all at once.Therefore, she was quite hesitant. If she really ordered a thorough investigation, it would not be of any benefit to the Gao family.Just for the sake of one Gao Zhanming, it is not yet known whether it will be beneficial or detrimental to mobilize people like this.

Gao Qiang said: "The Ai family knows about this matter. The Ai family needs to discuss this matter with the emperor. Su Hanlin, you should step down first, the Ai family is a bit tired."

Su Yu knew that Gao Qiang was hesitant, but she had issued an order to expel the guest, so she could only say: "The matter of the imperial examination is related to the country's selection of scholars, and it must not be indulged. Please think twice, the queen mother. I will retire first."

Su Yu got up, glanced at Gao Zhanming who was kneeling beside him with a complicated expression, and silently backed out.

After Su Yuan left, Gao Qiang saw Gao Zhanming who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Auntie already knows about you, Auntie will not treat you badly, you should go back first."

Gao Zhanming is very smart, when he saw Gao Qiang's attitude, he knew that Gao Qiang was perfunctory.The so-called not treating him badly probably means that he will be granted a high-ranking official position in the future.But this was not what he wanted. Now that he knew that his test paper had been tampered with secretly, it was not due to his lack of strength, so how could he be willing to do so?

But Gao Zhanming also knew that if he sacrificed their aunt and nephew's affection at this time, he might not be able to impress Gao Qiang, and he was not worthy of Gao Qiang's motivating others for him. The only way was to find a reason to impress Gao Qiang.He knew that Gao Qiang had always hated the imperial examinations, because the selection of candidates for the imperial examinations violated the power of the Gao family as a foreign relative. He heard that Gao Qiang had secretly ordered ministers to write several times suggesting that the imperial examinations should be banned to create public opinion. , it has been difficult to do so.

So Gao Zhanming pretended to be anxious and said: "Aunt...nephew didn't expect this matter to be so involved...If my nephew's test paper is really changed by the Ministry of Rites, otherwise...or just forget it."

Gao Qiang was having a headache and Gao Zhanming would entangle him endlessly about this matter, but he didn't expect Gao Zhanming to give up on his own initiative, so he couldn't help being a little surprised: "Why?"

Gao Zhanming said: "There is a problem with my nephew's test paper, which means that there is fraud in the imperial examination. If it is thoroughly investigated, then the whole world will know that the imperial examination is unfair, and the imperial examination will definitely lose popular support. It has such a wide-ranging influence, so let's let it go."

Gao Qiang was taken aback: That's right, at first she only thought that if a thorough investigation of this matter would be of no benefit to their Gao family, she wished that the imperial examination would be more chaotic, but now that the imperial examination is already unfair, such a great opportunity was in front of her, and she took advantage of this opportunity Making things worse, wouldn't it give her another reason to ban the imperial examinations in the future? !

Gao Qiang frowned and pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Good boy, the Ai family knows that you care about the court, but you don't have to worry so much, you are the nephew of the Ai family, if someone wants to harm you, how can the Ai family Sit idly by? The Ai family has already made up their minds about this matter, so go back first, and the Ai family will give you a satisfactory answer."

After hearing this, Gao Zhanming breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Gao Qiang and then left the Xianju Hall.

As soon as Gao Zhanming left, Gao Qiang called Guo Yulian and said, "Send someone to Grand Master Su and ask him to inform the emperor about this matter. If the emperor wants to investigate thoroughly, then he should investigate thoroughly."

Guo Yulian took the order and went immediately.

Su Yu told Emperor Li Changzhi that Zhu Juan and Mo Juan in the imperial examination might not match each other. The scrolls and ink scrolls were reviewed and inspected by officials of the Ministry of Officials led by Su Yu.

Han Baiyue never expected that things would develop to such an extent.As the son of the Minister of Rites, he is very clear about the practice of favoritism and perverting the law in the imperial examinations. As long as he can be perfunctory in the aftermath, the subordinate officials who copied Zhu Juan will have great rights.Gao Zhanming's Zhu Juan was indeed exchanged by him on purpose. He threatened and lured him in the name of his father, and the subordinate staff had to follow his instructions.These things have happened in previous years, and the court has never conducted a thorough investigation. How come this year, the emperor suddenly ordered Su Yu to be in charge of the research? !

Su Yu's movements were very clean and neat, but in just a few days, he led people to review the more than one hundred test papers for the first exam.The result shocked the world—out of a hundred test papers, there were as many as twelve question papers!These are just the examination papers for Zhongju scholars, and there are thousands of candidates who participated in the examination. How many of them did not match the ink scrolls? !

Among the twelve test papers, there were typos and mistakes in the original ink scrolls, but on the vermilion scrolls, those mistakes were all corrected.These are still minor. Among all the exams, the biggest change is Han Baiyue's test paper.The poems and fus made during the scientific examination must use the rhyme book as the rhyme standard. If there is a rhyme offender, it will not be allowed to pass.However, Han Baiyue's poems and proses in ink scrolls have several rhymes. During the copying of Zhu scrolls, most of his poems and proses were revised. Not only the wrong rhymes he used were corrected, but also some obscure sentences were changed. The unreasonable article was edited so that it was so brilliant that it won the [-]th place!Otherwise, based on the test papers he originally answered, he would definitely fail!

The results of the review and review reached Li Changzhi's ears, and Li Changzhi was furious.

The Minister of Rites, Han Hai, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites were thrown into prison on the same day, and all the subordinate officials involved in the case were also detained.A few days later, the imperial court promulgated the punishment for all officials involved in the case——

Han Hai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, has no laws of the country, dismissed from office for investigation, sent to prison, and never used; , punished according to the law.

Han Baiyue never dreamed that what he did would be reported to himself.In his eyes, Gao Zhanming is obviously a helpless and ridiculous guy. At the beginning when he was involved in framing Gao Zhanming, Gao Zhanming was kicked out of Zongxue like a bereaved dog with thirty sticks, and everything went smoothly.Why all of a sudden, Gao Zhanming turned around and climbed up to the Queen Mother, and even ruined his family? !

However, Han Baiyue could only slowly understand these things in prison—he used his power to bribe the examiners, change his own papers, and exchange other people's papers. His crimes were serious, and he went to jail on the same day as his father Han Hai.

Because the case involves a lot, Li Changzhi ordered that this year's scientific examination rankings be invalidated, and all the ink scrolls should be re-transcribed, with Hanlin University scholar Su Wei as the chief examiner, and officials from the Hanlin Academy, Zhengshitang, and the Ministry of Officials as co-examiners to re-read the papers !
