This is indeed the most rigorous imperial examination in history. The examiners do not know the name of each examination paper. They can only see the number. It feels like opening a blind box.
Therefore, all the experts can only make rough judgments based on the writing style and content of the test paper. If you don't have some basic writing skills and sensitivity, it is really difficult to do it.
Due to the current tense public opinion situation, the atmosphere at the examination site was very depressing. The big bosses did not talk much, and there was no laughter at all.
In particular, Shen Li, the Minister of Rites, had no expression on his face, and his whole body was filled with a sharp aura of keeping strangers away, as if whoever touched him would die!

This paper reading process lasts for almost two days, and the final results will be released on the third day.

The big guys first selected the two test papers with the most favorable reviews, but inevitably, as if destined, there was a huge controversy about the last selected test paper.
