Dusk falls.

In the Chongzheng Hall, there are still many scholars who are busy writing.

Although the palace examination does not clearly stipulate the examination time, there is an iron rule that you must leave the palace before the palace gate is locked.

That is, before 6 pm, you need to submit your answer sheet and then leave Miyagi.

It's almost five o'clock now, and the candles in the hall are already getting angry. Looking at the lit candles, the candidates who have not finished answering can't help but speed up.

Time passed slowly, and the candidates handed in their answer sheets one after another.

At this time, there were not many examples left in the examination room. To the naked eye, there were only about a dozen left.

Most of the candidates who are still in the examination room have one characteristic: they are relatively old, and one of them even has completely white temples.

Among this group of people, one person stands out in particular.

This person looks to be in his thirties or forties. From his skin color, it can be seen that his family background should not be too bad.

In fact, this Juzi can be regarded as a star Juzi. You can basically know this person's reputation by asking around the capital.

This person is the famous Liu Sanbian!

A scheduler obviously recognized Liu Yong. Seeing that Liu Yong was still stranded in the hall, the scheduler couldn't help but walk to Liu Yong's case in the name of inspecting the examination room.

Then, I looked down.

Good guy!

Although he only took a rough look at it, the choreographer could not help but frown.

The editing officer's surname was Zhou, and he was named after he ranked second in the Xianping three-year ranking list. The number one scholar in that subject was none other than Chen Yaozi.

As the second best player in Xianping three years, Zhou Qi’s personal talent goes without saying.

A single glance was enough for him to judge Liu Yong's answer sheet.

If you ask him to comment, he will probably give an evaluation that is shallow in literature and science, and undoubtedly regressive.

The palace examination evaluation is roughly divided into five levels. To be more precise, it should be six levels.

The first class is one with excellent knowledge, pure rhetoric, outstanding and unique, and unparalleled.

The second class is those who are talented and knowledgeable, sophisticated in arts and sciences, and can be regarded as high-ranking among the group.

The third level is those who can adopt arts and have good knowledge in arts and sciences.

The fourth grade is for those who are slightly inferior in arts and proficient in arts and sciences.

The fifth grade, with shallow literature and science, is undoubtedly in decline.

As for the sixth class, those who do not take the exam, or are ignorant in arts and sciences, or have committed taboos, are the ones who must be deposed.

In Zhou Qi's eyes, Liu Yong's policy was very close to that of the Sixth Class. Although it was not nonsense, it was full of flattery.

This person cannot live up to his reputation.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qi secretly shook his head and felt very emotional at the same time.

This is a good time for Liu Sanbian to catch up. If he were to switch to other subjects, he would probably not be able to get the first place based on his level of strategy.

But this time it's different.

In the morning, the officials had just made a new ruling.

All the scholars who are eligible for this subject will be admitted as long as they do not commit any taboos!

In other words, if there are no examples of brain-twitching, then 300 new scholars will be born in this subject.

For the scholars of the world, not being deposed in the palace examination is undoubtedly benevolent and good governance.

But what is good for scholars is not necessarily good for the country.

After the officials ascended the throne, although they were determined to eliminate the disadvantages of three redundancies, they took too much time to take the throne, and even now they have achieved partial results.

But it's only part of it.

Three hundred Jinshi are indeed not many for the country.

However, if the number of candidates for each subject is greatly increased in the future, and students are not dismissed during the palace examination, the pressure will be great year after year.

After a while, Zhou Qi turned around and returned to Houshui Pavilion after completing his inspection.

Stepping into Houshui Pavilion, the examiners present greeted Zhou Qi one after another, but Zhou Qi's attitude was a little cold.

He responded to his colleague who was also the coordinator with a cold face and an indifferent expression.

(PS: Like the provincial examination, the palace examination evaluation paper is also a three-level system. After being evaluated by the primary examiner and the repeat examiner, it is then submitted to the arrangement officer for review.)

Zhou Qi's indifferent reaction to other people was not because he had any grudges against these people, but Ding Wei was the one who really had grudges against him.

Zhou Qi, who came from second place in the rankings, will certainly not be slow in his promotion.

During the reign of Zhenzong, he was already the deputy envoy to the Privy Council and was definitely one of the elders in the court.

It was a pity that he had always been on good terms with Kou Zhun. After Kou Zhun lost power, Ding Wei took the opportunity to dismiss him as a doctor in the household department and leave his place.

The place where he first went out to study was the same as Wang Zeng, and he went to Qingzhou.

However, Ding Wei did not let him go. Later, he was demoted several times, although his official position was promoted from Hubu Langzhong (from the sixth rank) to Taichang Shaoqing (from the sixth rank).

But the place where he became aware of it was that it turned out to be more and more remote.

It wasn't until the beginning of this year that Zhou Qi was dropped from his place by Li Jie.

Now, in addition to the honorary title of Bachelor of Longtuge, he also holds the title of Senden Wengu Academy.

In fact, Zhou Qi himself was very confused about this appointment.

Although Dengwen Drum Academy has the responsibility of accepting memorials and memorials from civil and military officials as well as scholars and civilians.

All memorials and memorials discussing the gains and losses of the government, public and private interests, military secrets, begging for favors, rectifying injustices, etc., can all be sent to the imperial court through Denwen Drum Courtyard.

Looking at these scopes alone, the rights of Denwen Drum Court are not insignificant.

However, in the specific implementation process, it is actually just like that.

After all, Dengwen Drum Academy only has an acceptance agency in the capital.

In this era of poor transportation and difficulties in long-distance migration, the difficulty for ordinary people outside the capital to travel to Beijing is no less difficult than traveling around the world.

In addition, ordinary people outside the capital may not know that Dengwen Drum Yuan is an institution.

Secondly, Denwen Drum Academy also has a particularly annoying rule.

Officials who have been demoted are not allowed to appeal through the Wenwen Drum Court or the Wenwen Procuratorate.

What's even more stupid is that the prisoner himself can't, but his family members can beat drums and surrender.

All we can say is that the person who came up with this rule must be a talented person.

As a result, the number of cases received by Denwen Drum Court was greatly reduced.

Finally, there is another point. The original intention of setting up Dengwen Drum Court is more of a symbolic meaning. Looking at the cases accepted by Dengwen Drum Court.

There are only a handful of cases where people have sued officials!

You may not see one case a year.

Therefore, in general, the Civil Service and the Inspection Service is a good place to raise one's career. The officer has a high social status, has a leisurely job, and his salary is not low.

Having more money, less work, and being close to home is probably the ideal working situation for future generations.

In fact, not only Zhou Qi himself did not understand, but others also did not understand Zhou Qi's transfer issue.

Who told Li Jie not to give any hints?

Li Jie's purpose of bringing Zhou Qi back was certainly not to let him fish for fish.

After the war in the Liao and Song Dynasties stabilized, he would begin to expand the scope of responsibilities of the Denwen Drum Academy.

Expansion is a must!

For such a large territory, there are only Denwen Drum Courtyards in the capital, but their number is far from enough.
