The scholars who conducted this scientific expedition complained along the street and stopped sedan chairs to make a grievance immediately became a hot talk in the capital. It was already a hot topic for no more than two hours and everyone knew about it.

Others may not believe in good things in the world.

But if it is a bad thing, even if it is just a clue, it will become more and more evil.

The city was full of wind and rain, and people on the streets, whether they were peddlers, or merchants, or soldiers, were talking about the tricks of this imperial examination.

Those raged scholars went to the doors of important officials of various dynasties to kowtow to the injustice, which made the servants dare not do it, and reported to Yingtian Prefecture, and the people in Yingtian Prefecture did not dare to take care of it.

Only the people from various guild halls followed the scholars helplessly and anxiously, begging grandpa to ask them to go back.

Most people don’t want to, dare not, and are unwilling to care about such things. The scholars sued for a day, and the officials who were blocked all said something soft, but they had no intention of being willing to stand up.

However, Ling Han, the inspector and censor Bao Zhao, the minister of the Ministry of Justice Xia Shu and others not only verbally agreed to the scholars, but also brought the complaints to their homes.

What's even more surprising is that those old noble families also got involved in this matter. Most of the Fengyang disciples who failed to win the title of Wuding Hou and Duke Song directly lived in the homes of Wuding Hou and Duke Song.

However, the methods of dealing with problems between civil and military personnel are very different.

Ling Han had a new demobilization at the exam room at home, while those nobles held banquets, food, drinks and fun.

Xi'an Street, Cross Lane, and the backyard of Ling's mansion.

Originally, the garden was brightly lit, filled with tables and chairs, and filled with scholars who were writing quickly.

The old minister Ling Han, the Minister of Works Lian Zining, the Censor Baozhao, the Minister of Internal Affairs Xia Shu, the Minister of the Tongzheng Department Ru Wei, the Censor Ren Hengtai, etc., all frowned and sat upright in the garden.

Ling Han and Xia Shu were both from Henan, from Ruhuan, from Hunan, from Ren Hengtai, from Jiangxi, Lianzining, Zheng Ci was from Fujian, and Ruhuan was from Shanxi.

Qi Lin, the editor of the Hanlin Academy behind them, was also from Jiangxi, and Lu Yuanzhi, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, was from Zhejiang, and his mother was the aunt of Fang Xiaoru, who was formerly a Hanlin scholar who is now in charge of the Imperial Heaven Supervision and also served as one of the current emperor teachers.

In the flower hall, more than a dozen officials have different origins and different official positions. But they all have one characteristic: officials from the practical and practical positions in the court.

These people stared at the scholars who were writing articles under the lights, their faces turned pale.

"Today I want to see how bad the knowledge of these scholars is, they are not even able to win any of them!" Ling Han's face was covered with frost, holding a cold tea bowl, and he said coldly.

Ru Wang thought, "What if they really failed the exam?"

"No matter whether I am a fellow villager or not, I will submit it to the Ministry for the offense." Ling Han continued to say coldly, "As a national scholar, he defames the imperial examination and collectively makes trouble, so he should be punished!"

"If so, what if their articles are not bad?" Xia Shu asked beside him.

Ling Han smiled, "Then I will take the official hat on my head and ask them for an explanation!" As he said that, he sneered again, "Anyway, I call me Ling Tietou in private. When I am old, I can still knock over those things that are not doing human affairs!"

Censor Ren Hengtai pondered for a moment, "But when the article is almost the same, the examiner got what suited his wishes, and others could not argue." As he said, he paused, "Students thought that this matter should be done slowly from a long-term plan. Don't be anxious!"

He was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Hongwu. Ling Han’s qualifications were much older than him. Moreover, when he was in the imperial examination, Ling Han was his chief examiner. That’s why he called himself a student to Ling Han.

"Hmph! Are you afraid?" Ling Han's eyes widened, "Liu Sanwu, and those senior ministers, and those people from the Hanlin Academy, have all gone to heaven in the end of the past few years. But he once taught the emperor, so he regarded himself as an imperial teacher!"

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has written all the books to say things that are taken for granted and unpragmatic!" Ling Han continued, "We are all from the imperial examinations. It is true that we govern the world by relying on the theories of saints, but by blindly following the theories of saints, what has the world become?"

"Those people ask themselves to be gentlemen, but the ones that are different from them are not gentlemen? They are right and others are wrong. I have long disliked them!"

"I said something bad, we all got it through the exam. Over the years, we have also been in charge of the provincial examinations in various places in the world and invigilating the exams in Beijing. What kind of articles should be taken into consideration? Can we not get it?"

"It is a big mistake to win scholars by their own preferences! The country is to win scholars for the Ming Dynasty. It is not to win a bunch of scholars for them, but to be like their thoughts, and to be a scholar with the same tune as them!"

Ling Han said something silently in the flower hall.

Lian Zining bowed, "The old man is full of public confidence, and the subordinates are ashamed!"

"You don't like to mess with those nerds on weekdays and do practical things. I'm just looking at you a few more glances!" Ling Han looked at him and suddenly smiled, "You, the Minister of Works, who is in charge of minting, must not be liked by fellow villagers who like to recite poems and essays!"

Lian Zining lowered his head and smiled without refuting.

At this time, the housekeeper came over with a few papers, "Master, someone has handed over the paper!"

"Yes!" Ling Han nodded and took it, and looked at it, "The word is good, it has the shadow of Weibei!" As he said that, he continued to look down, and was particularly careful, "This is the paper for my fellow villager and scholar Liu Hansong."

"After failing the exam, some people said that the format of his argument was wrong. Look at what's wrong with this format?"

"Besides, the format is about the articles of the classics. The sages should quote the classics and examine the annotations. A essay on the strategy is to test the pragmatism. What format is needed? Is it possible that we can write memorials to the emperor on weekdays, and it is also very literary?"

As he said that, he continued to look down and said loudly, "Look at this point, Zhou and Tang emphasize outside and inside are more important, Qin and Wei emphasize outside and inside are more important!"

"He started the paper with the national dynasty as an example, saying that local vassal kings held heavy troops and could stabilize the border, but it was finally a while, probably because the vassal kings were hereditary wealth!"

"The military power in the world belongs to the center, is placed under the Ministry of War, and is coordinated to manage and allocate it in a unified manner!"

"Is this article wrong?" Ling Han slapped the paper on the stone table.

The officials around stood up and looked around.

"When the emperor ascended the throne, I submitted a report to the emperor. My Ming Dynasty's military power was in the hands of the vassal kings, and in the hands of the governor's office of the Five Army, but the Ministry of War did not. The Ministry of War was like serving the housekeepers of Mr. Qiu Ba. He just gave things to others and couldn't control anything else. Even the promotion of military generals above the fifth rank and above cannot be the decision!"

"The military power in the world is taken over to the Ministry of War. Only by removing the dregs and retaining the essence can it last for a long time! Look at how old this scholar is, he thought of going with me, the immortal man!"

"If I am the main tester, just rely on this policy, this person should be chosen!"

Ren Hengtai looked at the paper carefully for a long time and said, "It's no problem whether it's writing or strategy. The writing style is simple and easy to understand, and it's clear at a glance. If you say first and second grades, students dare not say it. But if you win the third grade, there should be no problem!"

"Look, you, Tanhualang, said that back then!" Ling Han said angrily.

"However, the writing style is not pleasing!" Ren Hengtai sighed, "The imperial examination is very different from that of the students. The imperial examination was fulfilled when the imperial examination was true, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and Huawei is beautiful!"

"Bad!" Ling Han said angrily, "The more peaceful the country is, the more pragmatic the officials are!!" As he said, he said angrily, "It is clearly those who are marking papers who mainly focus on their own likes and dislikes, and do not record simple writing styles, and specifically want those who are good-looking and nice, which is unfair!"

"Hmph!" Speaking of this, Ling Han's eyes twitched, "The Hanlin lecturer Zhang Xin and Dai Yi were all admitted when I was an examiner. If I were the main person in charge of my own likes and dislikes, how could those of them win?"

At this time, more and more scholars handed in papers.

These officials were watching at night in the flower hall with lights.

The more I look, the more solemn my face becomes.

"This article is not bad. It means the countryside to talk about the whole country. It is not like other candidates who talk big. It is like the various aspects of the people's livelihood written by a minor official who has been an official for many years." The censor Baozhao said with a paper, "It is the handwriting behind it, which is a bit urgent and lacks the pen skills!"
