From the time of coming to the court, the examiners returned to their respective scripture rooms and conveyed the instructions from the chief examiner Wei Chen to the examiners under their command, and asked them to follow Wei Chen's rules when marking the papers.

Wei Chen was busy for a day and was very tired. He went back to his room to sleep and waited for the next day before going to inspect the examination room.

In the blink of an eye, February 18th, after the three exams, the candidates left the examination room one after another, and their papers were taken away by the examinee.

The original ink scroll was sent to the transcription office by the scroll recipient, and was copied into a red scroll by the bookkeeper, and then read it with a special person and seal it. After this process was completed, it was confirmed that it was correct and the soldiers of the Imperial City Office would be escorted to the court.

At this time, in the court, the two chief examiners, the chief examiners and eighteen fellow examiners who were in the current examination, had gathered together. At first glance, the examiners' faces were full of smiles.

During the current examination, there was neither water nor rain in the tribute school. All the candidates were safe and had no injuries. This was very rare in previous examinations.

Under this situation, the examiners gathered in the court naturally sang a few hymns such as "Your Majesty is diligent and loves the people, and seeks talents as long as you are eager to be blessed by the emperor" and flatter the new king.

However, even though he said this, everyone knew in their hearts that the reason why this exam was so safe and smooth was that in addition to God giving him face, most of the credit was Wei Chen, the chief examiner of the exam.

Wei Chen made all preparations in advance, considered them very thoroughly in all aspects, and repeatedly told the soldiers guarding and inspecting them, so that they could always be alert and pay attention to the conditions of the candidates.

If Wei Chen had not made such meticulous arrangements, it would have been common for several elderly and weak candidates to die in the examination room, just like in previous years.

The examiners also fought from the subject field back then. Compared with their experiences during the subject, it is naturally not difficult to understand Wei Chen's concern and care for the candidates.

The examiners therefore respected Wei Chen, and even some people who relied on their seniority to rely on their seniority to make their words and deeds became more respectful when facing Wei Chen.

This was an unexpected surprise for Wei Chen. The reason why he cared about the candidates was not only because of his conscience, but because Wei Mingzhao died in the autumn examination hall in the past.

Although Wei Chen and Wei Mingzhao have never met each other, no matter what, Wei Mingzhao is Wei Chen's biological father in this life. Wei Chen has inherited a lot of his legacy. Wei Chen has always been resentful about Wei Mingzhao's death.

Now that Wei Chen is the chief examiner of the examination, he naturally cannot let the candidate repeat Wei Mingzhao's mistakes under his nose. This can also be regarded as comforting Wei Mingzhao's spirit in heaven.

When he arrived in the court, he saw Wei Chen sitting on the main desk, closing his eyes slightly and bowing his head silently. The examiners below all didn't know why.

Only Sheng Changbai, who had a close relationship with Wei Chen, knew the hidden truth, understood that Wei Chen must have been sad at this moment, and remembered Wei Mingzhao.

Seeing Wei Chen who was calm and restrained on his usual quiet and restrained appearance at this moment, Sheng Changbai couldn't help but be moved and sighed in his heart: "Xingyun is sincere and filial. If you know Wei Shi Shuquan, you should smile."

At this time, the last batch of test papers had been delivered, and Wei Chen finally pulled out of his melancholy mood and restored the chief examiner's dignity. His bright eyes slowly swept across the examiners in the classroom.

Seeing this, the examiners also put away the smiles on their faces, sat upright one by one, waiting for the examiner to speak.

Wei Chen nodded and said aloud: "Everyone, start drawing lots."

Eighteen examiners respectfully accepted the order and immediately stood up from their seats. Under the auspices of the deputy examiner Ding Siquan, they went forward to draw lots in turn, and then distributed the red book according to the draw.

The results will be released at the end of February, and the time left for examiners to mark the papers is not enough. Jinke Weichen has formulated new rules for Hengwen, which can be said to be tight and time is heavy.

Therefore, as soon as the examiners got the red paper, they did not care about greetings, so they hurried back to their respective scripture rooms and began to review the papers in a race against time.

As for the chief and deputy examiner of the examination, they do not undertake the specific marking work, but only organize the marking and determine whether the papers recommended by the examiner can be admitted.

According to previous years' rules, after the third session was reviewed, the examiners of each room gathered the three red scrolls together. After weighing the pros and cons, they selected the main and preparatory papers and submitted them. Only then did the two main testimonials Wei Chen and Ding Siquan be busy.

However, the current examination is very different from the past.

After allocating the test papers, Wei Chen told the examiners that he would never only read the few hundred recommended test papers. Even if the same examiner had already screened the papers, he would have to review them personally to avoid the pearls being covered with dust.

As soon as this statement was spoken, the examiners were shocked, but they could do nothing.

There has always been a saying in the imperial examination that "stay and stay in the same exam, and the higher and lower exams are in the main exam." Wei Chen's move can be said to have infringed on the power of the same exam in disguise.

However, in the final analysis, the chief examiner is the largest among the tribute courts. The establishment of the same examiner is just to reduce the workload of the examiner's review.

Now, Wei Chen, the chief examiner, has worked tirelessly and has taken the initiative to do it himself. Deputy chief examiner Ding Siquan is a voice-over again. How could the examiners find any reason to object? They can only nod and say it.

This matter will be decided here.

After receiving the papers and returning to their respective scripture rooms, the examiners' faces were very serious.

After all, Wei Chen's huge title of six yuan was placed there, and now he has made it clear that he would read the papers in person, which puts all the examiners in charge of the papers in a lot of pressure.

It is said that Wei Chen has never forgotten everything at a glance, and he can see ten things at a glance. With his ability, even if the time to mark the papers is very tight, it should not be difficult to read all the thousands of test papers.

If Wei Chen's fiery eyes really found the remains of the sea from the fallen paper, the examiner who had sifted this test paper before would be embarrassed.

Not only that, if Wei Chen is determined to pursue the matter, the examiner will be charged with dereliction of duty and ineffective work, and the matter will be even more troublesome.

Therefore, the examiners were all excited when they were reviewing the papers.

Even their test paper marking officers under their command repeatedly told them to mark papers according to the rules set by Wei Chen, and strive to select candidates with real talents and knowledge. They must not be careless, so as not to make mistakes and implicate themselves.
