Chapter 2497 Each Destiny

As night fell, only the busy examiners remained in the Wuchengwang Temple.

There are three provincial exams in this subject, one per day. After one exam, candidates have a day to rest, and the second exam will be held the next day.

In addition, the marking and examination are also conducted at the same time.

After the first session, the examination papers will be sent to the sealing office for sealing.

After the sealing is completed, all examination papers will be numbered in sequence, corresponding one to one, and then handed over to the transcription office for scribes to transcribe.

Among them, the Mi Feng system was established earlier and was founded by Taizong, while the transcription system was founded by Zhen Zong.

After that, although there were occasional disputes over sealing and recording, they continued. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the framework of the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty was also inherited.

After the examination papers have been transcribed, they are immediately handed over to the outer curtain officer for inspection.

The inspection officer will conduct a preliminary review and then submit it to the reference officer for detailed review.

The inspection officer will make the initial review, the reference officer will review, and the tribute officer will make the final review. Finally, the tribute officer will evaluate the candidate's test paper based on the opinions of all parties.

As for the review standards, they are roughly divided into five levels, and each level is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.

Generally speaking, those in the first to fourth grades can basically pass the assessment, among which the probability of the fourth grade is relatively small.

Whether you can pass the exam depends on the number of applicants that year and the admissions indicators.

The candidates in the fifth class will undoubtedly be dismissed.

Compared with the previous generation, the three-level review system of the Song Dynasty was obviously more fair, but it also meant a huge workload.

After all, the imperial examinations at this time were very different from those in later generations.

Except for things like fill-in-the-blanks, dictation of scriptures, and ink meanings, other test contents are quite subjective.

The lack of accurate answers will undoubtedly increase the workload of the review officer.

Although the examiner was given nearly a month of evaluation time according to the process, with thousands of people and tens of thousands of answer sheets, time was still very tight.

Therefore, the scribes and examiners in King Wucheng's temple worked almost overnight to seal and transcribe the documents without any delay.

Tribute is a national event.

If something goes wrong in any link and delays the release of the rankings, no one can afford the blame.

Moon to midday.

The lights in King Wucheng's temple were still bright. After working hard in the middle of the night, the test papers for Area A were finally sealed and transcribed and handed over to the inspector.

An inspector in his forties was burning the midnight oil to urgently review candidates' answer sheets.

In fact, among the three exams, although poetry and poetry were ranked first, the difficulty of grading poetry and poetry was the lowest.

Because there are strict standards for the assessment of poems and poems, the inspector is only the first step in the three-level review. As long as the candidates do not write nonsense, they can basically pass the preliminary review.

In addition, those who are qualified to be elected as inspectors must at least be well-read poetry and books. Perhaps inspectors cannot write the most elegant poems.

But just judging the quality of poetry is not a problem.

Time passed slowly, and the inspector did not feel the passage of time at all. Until the sky turned white, the inspector finally saw a satisfactory answer sheet.

"Both poems and poems are excellent. It can be said that his knowledge is excellent and his diction is pure. He should be regarded as the best."

(The upper and upper grades are the best among the first grades, and the fifth grades are, respectively, upper, upper, middle, lower, and unreasonable)

After reviewing this examination paper, the inspector, who was a little sleepy, suddenly stopped feeling sleepy.

A poem with excellent diction and theory is like a pot of thirty-year-old wine, which makes people unable to help but indulge in it.

After writing the comments with a red pen, the inspector took a look at the number on the upper left side of the examination paper.

A, B, and Wuxu.

Although the inspection officer was not qualified to see the specific information of the candidates, he still kept this number in his heart.

This person is definitely not an unknown person.

Who could it be?

Are the two Song brothers brothers?

Although the inspector's position is not prominent, he is still a native of the capital. Of course he has heard of the names of the brothers from the Second Song Dynasty.

He had also seen poems and essays from the Second Song Dynasty, and this examination paper was similar to their writing style.

This answer sheet is likely to be the first in this subject.

Although the grading work has not yet been completed, the inspector believes that after reading all the answer sheets several times, he probably cannot find one that is better than this one.

The inspector's guess was not wrong. A, B, and Wuxu were indeed the serial numbers of the brothers of the Second Song Dynasty. To be precise, they were the serial numbers of his elder brother, Song Chu.

In addition, if nothing else happens, Song Chu's poems and poems will probably be number one.

The reason for this is that Song Chu's poem was not written on the spot, but carefully crafted before.

certainly.

It was not that Song Chi knew the content of the exam in advance. With Song's qualifications, he was not qualified to know the content of the exam in advance.

He was lucky enough to have done similar problems before.

Just like the college entrance examination students of later generations, the Song Dynasty's Juzi would also do a lot of practice before the exam.

Writing poems and poems is the most important part of practice.

On the other side, Fu Bi's examination papers were also sent to another marking center.

However, his fate was completely different from Song Chu's.

Song Chu's test paper evaluation was excellent, but his evaluation was only inferior.

(The best of the fourth class)

If it were compared to previous tribute examinations, and the first poem and poem had received an average rating, then this person would almost certainly not have passed the exam.

However, this time, that time.

Those who have poor poetry and writing, such as Fu Bi, will definitely take advantage of this term.

As long as the subsequent policy papers were written well enough, Fu Bi could pass the provincial examination and step into the palace examination.

…

…

…

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

Recently, the fireworks place in Beijing has experienced a wave of consumption peaks.

Thousands of candidates participating in the tribute examination are definitely the highest quality consumer group. After all, most of those who can study in this era are middle- and upper-class people from well-off families.

While waiting for the results to be released, it is certainly impossible for this group of candidates who had just experienced a big exam to sit in the room.

These actions frequently appear in the tiles and hooks in the capital.

The grand scenery of the capital is the most charming, and countless people indulge in the gentle countryside.

The famous Liu Yong is even more sought after by countless idols, and various invitations come one after another, including many fanatical "star-chasers" who spend huge sums of money just to meet their idol.

Right.

Liu Yong also participated in this provincial examination. However, although his reputation is great, not many people think highly of him.

Because this is the fourth time Liu Yong has taken the provincial examination. Liu Yong failed in all the first three times.

At the same time, this imperial examination was also Liu Yong's last attempt. Before taking the examination, Liu Yong secretly made up his mind that if he failed again this time, he would leave the capital.

After all, he is already forty-one years old this year, and his lack of success has already made him frustrated.

If he fails again this time, he will leave the capital, survey the great rivers and mountains of the country, and indulge himself in the mountains and forests.
