The second examination is the same as the provincial examination. It discusses one way, judges five ways, edicts, edicts, prints, and internal medicine.

In fact, they are all written in officialdom. In addition to writing official documents, they are writing judicial judgments based on the cases provided.

For those who have experienced hardships in the Ming Dynasty, many of them were born in official families, and this was more like a formality. Most of them were at ease with these questions.

When the candidates conduct their second exam, the review also begins.

Following the same process as the provincial examination, after the ink roll is passed through the two procedures of "sham name" and "transcription", the "ink roll" is left on the outer curtain for storage, while the "red roll" is sent to the Feihong Bridge on the inner curtain.

The chief examiner Wu Shan, the deputy chief examiner Zhang Lei and eighteen fellow examiners were waiting under the Feihong Bridge. After welcoming the Zhu Jue back to Jieshen Hall, he held a ceremony to worship Saint Confucius under the watchful eyes of the internal supervisor, a Jinyiwei, and then asked the fellow examiners to draw lots to pick up the papers.

There are different aspects of the provincial examination. Although the "red scrolls" sent from the outer curtains are all "red scrolls", the red scrolls still have the words "south", "north" and "middle".

With the end of the "North and South List Confused Case", the Ming Dynasty launched the examination system for regional rankings. During the Xuande period, the middle papers were divided into the north and south papers, and it was stipulated that fifty-five in the south papers were taken, thirty-five in the north papers, and ten in the south papers were taken.

Judging from the proportion of this ranking, the Southern Paper candidates undoubtedly benefit, but in fact they are not.

The Southern Paper admitted some scholars from Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Huguang, Guangdong and Nanzhili. Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian have always been major provinces for imperial examinations and the birthplace of top scholars. Therefore, the competition among Southern Paper candidates is even more tragic and cannot take advantage of it.

After obtaining the test paper, the eighteen examiners became busy. Mediocre test papers will be directly dismissed, excellent papers will be recommended, and especially excellent papers will be recommended.

The examiner Wu Shan sat upright in the lobby. He was in his fifties, with white temples, but his complexion was still good. He had a face with a Chinese character, thick eyebrows and big eyes, bright eyes, and quite powerful.

This is the first time he presided over an examination as the chief examiner. He attaches great importance to this examination.

Not only because he took on this important task for the first time, but also because he will become the mentor of 300 new Jinshis. The teacher-student relationship in this era is like that of parents, which will be his heavy political resource.

In fact, there was a fierce competition in this exam position. After all, this time it was specially convened by the emperor, and it was normal that the "special" was higher than in previous sessions, so the cabinet masters all wanted this position.

He, the Minister of Rites who had only been in office for more than a year, thought he could only be a bystander, but he did not expect that in the end this good thing would hit him in a confused manner.

While he was happy, he was also careful. This time, it seemed that he would benefit a lot, but the pressure was not small at all. There were countless pairs of eyes staring at him. If he was not careful, he would grab his braid and beat him to death.

He was a Jinshi in the 14th year of Jiajing and was born in a Hanlin family. He took over Wang Yongbin's position as the Minister of Rites the year before yesterday. Whether it was "born" and qualifications, he was expected to become a cabinet master and one of the most powerful cabinet ministers in the Ming Dynasty.

But there are often murderous intents behind the beauty. He really saw Li Mo's lesson. Since he was the Zuo Wailang of the Ministry of Personnel at that time, he could see it more clearly than others.

At that time, Shangshu Li was deeply grateful for Long's kindness, and Lu Bing, a proud disciple, even surpassed Yan Ge Lao. Those who defected to him came in a cloud of thought that Li Mo would take over the position of the old Ge Lao Yan.

But who would have thought that when Li Mo was at its peak, a disaster came quietly. Li Dang fell down and scattered, and Li Shangshu himself even fell from heaven to hell.

That's why Wu Shan kept reminding himself. Even if he was the time to be proud, even if he was about to have a considerable political resource, he still had to be careful not to make Li Mo's mistakes.

As the excellent test papers were delivered, he carefully reviewed them. While he was determined to stay, he also had to pick out the Huiyuan test papers so that those who were staring at him could not find any problems.

Fortunately, the level of this class of candidates was higher than they thought. In just two days, he presented five highly recommended papers, and he couldn't put it down.

"The sage should keep it safe and wait for the capable to show it in detail."

Wu Shan stroked his pale beard and seemed to drink wine. He found that the problem was extremely exquisite, so he couldn't help reading this article again.

"Is Huiyuan Ding?" Zhang Lei asked curiously when he saw his expression.

After being tempered in the officialdom, Wu Shan had already achieved the skill of qi cultivation and said in a tepid manner: "It's a pity that the answers in the latter are slightly inferior, and the overall answers are not as good as those in Song Tongcai's high-recommended papers, but it is estimated that they can be ranked as the Master of the Jing Ku."

If you win a title for each exam, it means that this test is not the first, but it can be ranked in the top five, which is a very impressive score.

"In this way, the high-recommended paper that Song Tongkao had received was Huiyuan? Haha... It seems that my previous judgment was correct!" Wang Lei's eyes flashed with joy, and he stroked his beard with pride.

Wu Shan laughed silently and shook his head and said, "It's too early to say it! There are thousands of test papers behind it, and two more test papers have not been sent!"

"Haha... I'm going to put my words here, that test paper must be a success!" Wang Lei's eyes were full of confidence, and he looked like he had decided that test paper.

Wu Shan kept a smile on his face and deliberately read other test papers, but he was careful.

Wang Lei is a member of the Xu Party, and he is considered to be a "compensation" for Xu Jie to be unable to compete for the examiner. However, when the person held the ceremony, his expression was a little erratic, and now he looks even more strange.

It was precisely because he suddenly suspected that the high-recommended test paper from Song Tong's exam contained tricks. If he guessed correctly, he was most likely a candidate from Nanzhili. However, it was not that he was nervous, but that this test revealed strangeness from the beginning.

First, Yan Dang took the initiative to give up his position as the examiner. Although many people in the outside world mistakenly thought that Yan Dang was the position as the examiner, he knew very well that he had no relationship with Yan Dang.

Now Yan Dang not only did not induce the examiner, but even gave the deputy examiner to Xu Dang. How could this matter not be strange? How could he not be more careful?
