Chapter 377: Dying Mother Jia (23)
Zichen Hall, Office of Management
Emperor Jiahe rubbed the bones between his eyebrows tiredly and asked: Haven’t the specific ranking yet?
Let the examiners hurry up. I still have so many things to deal with. I don’t have time to delay here. I will take the top ten and Jia She’s papers, and at least I will decide on Yijia and Zhuan.
Yes, Your Majesty, I will urge you now.
As Wang Zhongquan said that, he bowed and stepped back, turned around not far away, and left the side hall that temporarily served as a place to mark the papers, urging the marking officers.
Those officials are civil servants of third rank or above. If they send a small eunuch to urge them, it would be too slow. Therefore, he had to go there himself and take the paper back at the same time, so he would not have to go there again.
When the emperor asked for the paper, the civil servants naturally dared not let go. The people who were originally procrastinating and quarreling with each other finally stopped quarreling and gave Wang Zhongquan the ten papers he had already selected.
After that, he began to search for Jia She's test papers from the other piles of test papers, and asked:
Manager Wang, why does Your Majesty want Jia She’s test? Could it be that you have to point Jia She as one?
How is that possible? Some time ago, the fraud in the imperial examination was not a big deal. It was probably because of this that Your Majesty wanted to take a look and review it.
You guys hurry up, Your Majesty is still waiting.
Wang Zhongquan knew very well that Emperor Jiahe was not a favoritist. He asked for Jia She's test papers, so he was probably a little curious about what kind of strategy he could write with such poor Confucianism in the past?
Oh, so that's it!
Found.
It turned out to be this one. I just told the others that this is not in the style of the Pavilion and the font is not unique. Who is the test paper? I am the legitimate son of Duke Jia. It is indeed a good idea to be of such a level as a nobleman from a military general.
The Imperial Master Wang counted from the first paper and counted until 172 papers before finding Jia She's paper. He laughed at the sight.
He is very familiar with this paper.
Generally speaking, most students above the juren will choose to use Guange style to write articles when conducting the imperial examination. This is considered an official font and looks very refreshing. Using this font at least is average and will not leave a bad impression.
Of course, there are some special ones.
There are some juren who have a high level of accomplishment in calligraphy and have their own characteristics, or are very famous. They will abandon the style of the Pavilion and use the familiar fonts, hoping to make some paper markers illuminate. This method is good and can indeed add points. If it is not used well, you may have to go home.
The font of Jia She's paper is the only self-selected font test paper that Wang Yushi has seen for many years in reviewing the paper.
He just doesn't like calligraphy very much.
That's why I don't care about this.
If you change to a paper marking officer who cares very much about calligraphy, or who likes calligraphy very much, you might be able to give him a medium or low.
There is no way, it's just so willful.
This is why many people say that in addition to taking the level of knowledge, they also have to take the test of luck.
How can ordinary people know who their test judge is? What kind of personality and what do they like?
But those who are rich and powerful can find out.
After inquiring, writing for a certain amount of writing based on what he wants can naturally be considered a bonus.
Ha, that should be true.
Last time, His Majesty also said that his handwriting was poor.
Give it to me quickly, I have to go back and hand in the office.
Wang Zhongquan said that, and took away the paper from the paper marking officer, then turned around and hurried back.
After getting the paper, Emperor Jiahe first opened the top ten papers, but he just looked around casually, and there was no surprise. Most of them seemed to be average. There were only some remarks in the two papers that made people feel refreshed, but it was indeed not new, so they could only be considered interesting.
As soon as he finished reading it, he picked up the red pen, picked out four of the ten papers, and ordered the top scorer, the second-level Tanhua and the second-level Chuanlu respectively.
After that, I picked up Jia She's paper and read it.
Well, Jia She's paper is more concise, and in many aspects, the format is similar to the model essay.
You can't find any mistakes or highlights.
This is also the disadvantage of the learning method that Qiao Mu planned for Jia She. A lot of imitation can indeed master the skills quickly and achieve pretty good results, but it will erase creativity.
But it doesn't matter.
Qiao Mu had no hope of cultivating Jia She into a great scholar, and it would be good to be a Jinshi.
Emperor Jiahe looked at Jia She's test paper and put it down: Send it back.
Let them quickly draw the rankings.
Then start rolling the list.
Yes, Your Majesty!
With Wang Zhongquan's retreat, less than half an hour, the examiners ranked the students in the Jinshi exam this time.
And quickly went to the hall to sing the name.
Of course, they only need to put forward the names of the top scholar Tanhua and Chuanlu in the hall. The subsequent roll-call activities should be handed over to Chuanlu according to the rules.
The so-called first pass of the second class.
That's the function.
After more than an hour of hard work, the temple was over and everyone's ranking was decided. The official officer who reported the good news quickly went to various places, busy reporting the good news to the newly promoted Jinshi family.
By the way, get some silver rewards.
The Duke Rongguo Mansion is not too close to the palace, so they were naturally the first ones to receive the news. It was not until this time that most of the people in the mansion breathed a sigh of relief.
And start celebrating.
Money is really a big splash.
Not only did they spread money in the mansion, but they paid the servants in the mansion and paid double salary, but they also asked many people to bring a basket of copper coins to other places around them to let everyone enjoy the joy together.
Of course, Jia Daishan is more miserable.
Qiaomu was worried that he would dislocate his chin again, so when informing him of the news, he sent someone to hold his mouth tightly to prevent him from laughing.
Not to mention, this method is a bit stupid.
But it is indeed useful.
Although Jia Daishan was very uncomfortable because he was forced to laugh, he did not suffer any other losses, so it was pretty good.
Be able to attend the next banquet smoothly.
Soon, the others in the capital also received relevant news, not mentioning the cheers and wails in the gambling house, the military generals and nobles who had gone to Rongguo Mansion to ask for educational methods were completely taken this time, and they began to order their servants to collect medicinal baths and various medicinal herbs, and at the same time they also brought the children at home to beat them.
After that, the arbor-style education began.
That night, while others were singing and laughing, many military generals and noble families were really wailing like pigs, and they were in trouble.
Chapter completed!
