After the concubine took the script of the son-in-law

That night.

Li Mu, Xu Xuan and Shi Xizai are turning on the lights to revise the papers.

Because this provincial examination has added a system of obfuscation and copying, admission can only be judged by the quality of the essay, which will undoubtedly increase the workload of the examiner. ——In the past, there was a custom of running papers, so the examiners also had a clearer understanding of the level of some candidates, so a quick glance at the provincial test papers was enough.Nowadays, to judge the pros and cons of an article, we can only read it word for word. Doesn't it increase the workload?

However, this was not difficult for Li Mu. His literary talent was praised by Boss Zhao, and he could tell at a glance whether the articles were good or bad.

What's more, Xu Xuan and Shi Xizai helped him review first, and those articles that were poorly written were eliminated, so that he would not have to read them one by one.

While correcting the paper, Xu Xuan suddenly handed him a paper. Although the name was blurred and the handwriting was unfamiliar, Li Mu still felt a familiar style of writing blowing over his face.

He raised his eyes to look at Xu Xuan, who had a smile on his lips, and said: "This Fu is well written, it conforms to the formula, and the rhyme is correct. The style is elegant and upright. The article is penetrating and thought-provoking. I invite Xueshi Li to read it."

Hearing what he said, Li Mu couldn't tell that he was telling himself that the style of this article was very similar to his own?At first glance, it was from Shen Ji's hand.

Although he didn't intend to cheat for personal gain, but when Xu Xuan said that, he felt awkward instead.He took the paper and read the first and second rhymes first.

The so-called rhyme is actually using the topic as the rhyme, and restricting eight characters from the topic as rhyme words. When writing an article, you need to arrange the rhyme words skillfully into the rhyme foot.This rhyme word does not have to be the same as the title, just choose the word with the same rhyme.

For example, "rhyme" is divided into two categories: flat rhyme and flat rhyme. Among them, "Shangping" and "xiaping" in flat rhyme each have fifteen rhyme parts; "Three parts, each part has multiple rhymes.

So if there is no problem with the first and second rhymes, and there are brilliant words and sentences, the examiner will read it.If the rhyme is wrong, then there is no need to read on.

Xu Xuan said that the rhyme was correct, which meant that he had read the whole text and could not find any mistakes, so he showed it to Li Mu.

The more Li Mu read this article, the more he was sure that it was written by Shen Ji, because Shen Ji's writing style not only has his elegance, but also has a particularly strong personal characteristic, just like her bold and bold temperament.

What surprised Li Mu was that Shen Ji's essays were much more mature than Qiu Wei's in August last year. It can be seen that she has worked hard on rhyme.However, it can also be seen from it that Li Yunyao must have caught her to supplement a lot of rhythm knowledge in the past six months, which made her progress so rapidly.

Presumably he generously put this article first, and he would not be accused of cheating for personal gain.

Thinking of this, Li Mu was in a good mood, and asked Shi Xizai to read this article as well.After the three of them read it and found it all right, they gave a "pass" and added a few more comments.

At the beginning of March, all the papers had been corrected and ranked, and only then were the notes covering personal information such as names and places of origin uniformly removed.

As expected, the paper that Li Mu read that night was Shen Ji's, and the ranking was very high, at No.7.

He presented the papers and rankings to the Ministry of Rites for review, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites couldn't find any mistakes, so they posted the list outside the tribute courtyard for celebrities.

A total of 78 people were admitted in this provincial examination, which is a lot more than the last time.The main reason is that after the pacification of the south of the Yangtze River, there was an urgent need for talents to handle local government affairs. The shortage of personnel in the DPRK and China naturally promoted the increase in the number of Jinshi admitted.

The news that Shen Ji was on the list and ranked high before the list was posted, someone had already rushed to inform Shen Yilu. As calm and cautious as he was, he couldn't help showing a gratified smile. The whole day was like a spring breeze, which made people unbearable He wondered if there was any happy event in the Shen family.

It wasn't until the list of the tribute examinations was posted that Shen Ji passed the seventh place in the Jinshi section of the provincial examination, and everyone realized: Isn't it just a happy family event!Even though all papers had been dubbed and copied, she still managed to get a good grade of No. 7. Who can say that this was obtained by Li Mu's favoritism and fraud? !

In addition, Boss Zhao loves her so much, so naturally no one questioned the results of this provincial examination and congratulated Shen Yilu one after another.

The voices in the court were peaceful, but there were strange voices from many cases.Even though Gongshi adopted the method of obfuscation and copying to prevent cheating, some people still questioned that Shen Ji wrote a code in the paper so that her teacher Li Mu would know that it was her paper, and then gave her No.7. ranking.

As soon as this kind of voice came out, it immediately spread in Bianliang, and more and more people wanted to beat the Dengwen drum to sue Li Mu for favoritism and fraud.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a part of the failed candidates who imitated Xu Shilian in the sixth year of Kaibao to beat the drum and sue Li Fang, so the smart people did not get involved in this matter, only those failed candidates who did not know how to act because there were many People seconded and thought they had found courage, and the trouble became more and more fierce.

This matter reached Boss Zhao's ears, he had no expression on his face, and he didn't say anything.The officials below asked cautiously: "Do you want to recruit the candidates who made the list and those who failed?"

Zhao Laodao: "The palace examination will be held in a few days. This is already a re-examination. What re-examination is needed?"

The official was at a loss for words, and asked after a while: "How should we deal with the son who beat Dengwen drum?"

Someone suggested: "Why don't you post Shen Jizong's test paper, so that those candidates who failed the test can know where they lost."

Zhao Laodao: "If every candidate thinks that his failure is due to the examiner's malpractice for personal gain, and there will be a fight every year, then what's the point of the imperial examination? What credibility does the court have?"

When Xu Shilian raised the issue of Li Fang's favoritism and fraud, he really touched Boss Zhao's minefield, so he dealt with it seriously.And the follow-up is to add a re-examination level of the palace examination to ensure that the imperial examination is more fair.

Now it's just a provincial exam, and before the palace exam, these failed candidates can't wait to come out and make trouble. How can this be for the sake of fairness?He clearly wanted to follow Xu Shilian's example, so as to gain a chance to be a Jinshi.

Boss Zhao said indifferently: "You can never do it again."

Everyone understood what he meant.

The Kaifeng government arrested the troublemakers and said that they would expel their fame, and if they did not disperse, they would be prohibited from participating in the next three tributes.

This can be regarded as the lifeblood of these scholars. They didn't want to miss the benefits, and they even took a chance to get in, so they should admit their mistakes, and they should run away.

In the end, the candidates who took the lead in making troubles were punished to the point of punishment. Not only were their achievements this time abolished, but they were also banned from trying three times.

They stole chickens and lost money, which made Xue Ji and others gloat!

"It's based on real ability and learning. Why do they think that Shen Jizong cheated because the examiner is a teacher? Isn't it jealous!" Xue Ji said angrily.

"I'm not even angry, why are you angry?" Shen Ji asked.

Xue Ji scolded her: "As a fellow student who cares about you, it's fine if you're not moved, and you even make sarcastic remarks, you're really heartless."

Shen Ji smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm touched, very touched, okay? Come, I invite you to have tea."

Seeing her pour tea for herself, Xue Ji's face turned better: "It's not too bad!"

He took a sip of tea, turned his head and bumped Dou Said's hand: "Hey, you're also on the list, why are you making such a bitter face?"

Dou hesitated to speak, Shen Ji said: "He is also outside the fifty this time, and he doesn't know how many candidates will be dismissed in the palace examination at that time, he has no idea!"

Dou said that because of the influence of Shen Ji and Xue Ji, he occasionally had the opportunity to ask Li Mu for advice, so he knew Li Mu's style and preferences very well.This time it was a chance to get on the list. When it comes to the palace examination, this little trick is not enough.

Xue Ji didn't take it seriously: "Being one of a hundred people out of thousands of people is already very remarkable, and I have some confidence in myself. What if the officials are in a good mood and none of them are deposed?"

Not to mention Shen Ji, as long as she performs stably, with her background, she must be on the list.And Dou said that although he was adopted out, he is also from a scholarly family and has an uncle who is an official in the court, so the result will not be too bad.

Dou said, "I hope so."

Xue Ji understood what Dou said he was worried about. After all, the results of this palace test determined whether he could embrace the beauty, and his pressure was much greater than that of Shen Ji. ——There have always been people who have asked Gao Wanling to marry Gao Wanling from Princess Yan's mansion. Boss Zhao also asked his sister, saying that the original wife of Zhao Ping's son Zhao Chengzong died of dystocia, and now he is looking for a continuation. I don't know if she is willing to marry her daughter past.

Boss Zhao wanted to "break the ice" with Zhao Ping, and the best way was to get married. As a result, Princess Yan said that she didn't want her daughter to marry someone as a continuation, and wanted to wait a little longer, waiting for someone who was worthy of her daughter. Young talents appear.

Boss Zhao can't force it, so he can only let her go.

Dou said that although he was a son of an aristocratic family in the past, he had no fame, let alone a great career. Marrying Gao Wanling was a high prospect, and Princess Yan also looked down on him.If he can get a Jinshi and rank, and enter the imperial court as an official, even if his official position is low at the beginning, he will have a bright future and is worth investing in.That's why he was very concerned about this exam.

Shen Ji and Dou said that they rested for a few days, and soon it was time for the palace examination.
