In fact, Li Qian was already prepared to search and seize the documents.
When marking papers for the general examination, the examiner could search and reject the papers, and now he, the emperor, could naturally search and reject the papers as well.
But after Li Qian generally scanned the twelve test papers in front of him, he found that the few points he was particularly concerned about were all in them.
"Quite honest..."
He glanced at Cai Jing and Qin Hui without leaving any trace, murmured something in a low voice, and then named the second place winner, the top pick and Chuanlu.
Every time a person was named, the eyelids of the following ministers would twitch.
So casual...did you see clearly what was written on the paper?
Several readers complained secretly in their hearts, but they didn't say anything.
Qin Hui nodded in agreement.
In fact, he was very surprised that the examination was so smooth.
Qin Hui felt that based on his understanding of His Majesty the Emperor, it was very likely that he would go directly to the marking site and take over the examination.
If the emperor really did this, then they probably couldn't refuse.
After all, they are called examiners, not grading officers. They are dedicated to reading papers for the emperor. This power of grading comes from the emperor, not from their positions.
Of course, Qin Hui was not very afraid of His Majesty the Emperor seizing the right to examine the results.
After so many years of evolution, power naturally has reasons and reasons.
If the emperor could read these eight hundred papers by himself, could he finish them in three days?
Therefore, he can only delegate authority to his subordinates.
But after all, His Majesty the Emperor is different from ordinary people. He can always do things that make people's eyes dark. Qin Hui has been mentally prepared.
He even thought about it. After His Majesty the Emperor took back the power of grading, he was very enthusiastic at first, but then he gradually lost interest, and in the end he judged randomly...
It doesn't matter, just let him do it.
Anyway, this is the first grand competition for His Majesty the Emperor since he ascended the throne. Isn't it normal for him to be trying something new?
But if it was fresh the first time, is it still fresh the second time? Is it still fresh the third time?
Sooner or later, this power of marking will return to their hands.
But what Qin Hui didn't expect was that His Majesty the Emperor didn't come at all, and everything was fine until they finished reading all the papers.
I have to say that sometimes I feel that he is abnormal, but he suddenly becomes normal again. This is also abnormal... Qin Hui thought with complicated emotions.
Li Qian took out the four most fragrant and popular papers he pointed out and put them aside, and then looked at the other papers.
Although the first-class and second-class people are the best paid, there are also differences among the people behind them.
At the very least, there are hidden benefits for being among the top 40 in the entire palace examination.
Li Qian thought for a while and ranked a few more papers. In this way, the top ten for the imperial examination were finally decided.
He originally wanted Qin Hui and the others to take these papers back and fill them in, but the words suddenly changed to: "Let's name them."
Li Qian smiled and said: "I want to see who is the first number one pick that I personally selected?"
Don’t you know who it is?
Qin Hui cursed in his heart, but responded with a smile on his face. He stepped forward and opened the lake name on the number one scholar scroll, and handed it to Li Qian without even looking at it.
"Zhuge Liang..."
Li Qian was a little dumbfounded. He took the paper and examined it carefully: "Is this the Huiyuan of Jinke?"
Qin Hui was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Juan Tou with surprise: "It's actually him?"
"I didn't expect that this member would win the top prize!"
Several other readers came up with expressions of "surprise" upon hearing this.
"The writing style is strong and upright. When I first read it, I felt it was somewhat familiar, but I just couldn't put my finger on how familiar it was. Now I finally understand!"
"It turns out that Uncle Zong also felt this way. When I saw this paper, I also felt that it was somewhat familiar. This paper is the best among all candidates, and it is definitely worthy of the title of No. 1 Scholar..."
After several elders were surprised, they praised each other. Some said that Zhuangyuan Lang's article was good, and some said that His Majesty the Emperor had great vision. For a while, the atmosphere in the palace was very happy and joyful.
Even Cai Jing didn't jump out to ruin the atmosphere, just looked on with a smile.
After everyone had finished speaking, Qin Hui said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this Zhuge Liang not only Hui Yuan, but also passed the Xue Yuan exam in the provincial examination."
"Today, Your Majesty selected the number one scholar again, and it is the Great Three Elements! It is auspicious that Your Majesty has such a talented person just after he ascended the throne!"
"What Prime Minister Qin said makes sense..."
Several ministers also smiled and nodded in approval.
If it were any other test paper that was chosen based on the relationship, they might just remain silent.
But Zhuge Liang's article is indeed true and he has convinced them long ago, so these words now are not unkind words at all.
To praise someone who has a backdoor relationship is to be complicit, but to praise a talented and talented student like this is to support someone who is late.
Li Qian nodded as he listened and said with a happy smile: "It seems that the number one pick I selected is really right!"
Then he added: "Let's continue to name names and take a look at the other new scholars!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As Qin Hui unveiled the names on the examination paper one by one, the names of the candidates appeared in front of everyone.
"It's actually Bao Zheng. Is this person the one who passed the exam last year?"
"This Wang Jieyuan is from the previous subject. I didn't expect that when he came to take part in the examination this time, he also got a hit on the head..."
All the examiners sighed with emotion at these candidates who made it into the top ten, and kept nodding.
Li Qian looked at the names of these people and nodded slightly, which was exactly what he had expected.
"Okay, let's do it this way."
He turned to look at Qin Hui and others, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please go fill in the exams. You have been busy for me for so long. After the exams are released, you can finally have some free time."
"To serve you, do you dare to give up your hard work?"
Qin Hui immediately smiled and said: "This is the duty of ministers, it is not hard work."
Li Qian also nodded and said in a deep voice: "You still have to pay attention to your health. Not only do you need me, but you and your family are also indispensable."
Although the ministers have been in officialdom for so many years and have eaten more cakes than His Majesty the Emperor has eaten, they are still very moved at this time... at least on the surface.
After leaving the Ziwei Hall, the examiners returned to the Wenhua Hall, opened the lake names on the examination papers, and then ranked them with reference to the examination results and this time's results, and then filled them in on the imperial list.
The whole process took more than half a day, and by the time they finished, it was already around seven o'clock.
The file readers had been eating and lodging here for the past few days. At this moment, they finally left the Wenhua Hall and returned to their own yamen.
Wang Mang, Cai Jing and the others naturally returned to the Imperial City. Even the Hanlin Academy was in the Imperial City, just a few steps away.
But as long as the Imperial College is outside the imperial city, the secretary has to sit on a sedan chair and walk for a while before he can return to the Yamen.
However, he did not go through the main entrance of the Imperial College. Instead, he asked the bearer to stop the sedan at the back door and entered the Yamen in a low-key manner.
This is because the Imperial College is very lively at the moment, with people coming in and out of the main entrance talking and laughing all the time.
This is the uniform for the new Jinshi who have passed the palace examination to receive their Jinshi uniforms. It is also the attire they will wear when entering the palace tomorrow to participate in the passing ceremony.
Today Zheng Guan and Yan Zhenqing also came here together.
But there were two other people traveling with them, namely Zhuge Liang, who had not appeared in the capital recently, and Lu Bu.
There were many new scholars who knew Zheng Guan and Yan Zhenqing, and people greeted him along the way.
After Zheng Guan dealt with it one by one with a smile, they passed through the huge archway in front of the Imperial Academy, walked into the main entrance, turned left, and finally arrived at the place where they received the Jinshi uniform.
There were still a lot of people at this time, and there was an endless stream of new Jinshi scholars who came to receive their Jinshi uniforms.
The queue was very long, the scholars were chatting in twos and threes, and almost everyone had a smile on their face.
From time to time, a few Imperial College students passed by in the distance. They looked at this place from a distance, seeming to feel the high spirits and wantonness of the new scholars, and they could not hide the envy on their faces.
Being admitted to the Jinshi is almost equivalent to reaching the end of being a scholar. Ten or even decades of hard study has finally paid off.
How can people who are still halfway up the mountain not be envious when they see this group of people who have reached the top of the mountain?
"Over here."
Zheng Guan seemed to be infected by the atmosphere here, and happily led Yan Zhenqing and Zhuge Liang to the back of the crowd to line up.
There is almost only one topic discussed by the new scholars around, and that is the ranking in the imperial examination.
For the Jinshi, the ranking in the examination is just a transition and cannot have a very real impact on them.
But the ranking in the palace examination really cares about everyone's vital interests. First, second, third and third place are huge differences in rank.
In front of Zheng Guan and others in line, there were four new scholars discussing their rankings in the imperial examination.
"If I can get ten more places in the palace examination than in the general examination, maybe I can be in the top seventy of the second class!"
The leader of the small group, Xinke Jinshi, had a bit of annoyance on his face: "If I had known, I would not have gone to Cuihong Mansion the day before the palace examination. I drank so much wine and kept wanting to run to the toilet during the palace examination!"
This man was obviously a top student, someone who could get into the top tenth of the exam. While he was feeling remorseful, several others were also on the verge of tears.
"Brother Jin, no matter how low your ranking is, you can still be in the top two, but I can't do that, little brother. I was in the top four hundred and twenty when I took the exam, but now I have to be in the top three."
Zheng Guan and Yan Zhenqing listened to their conversation and looked at each other, feeling a little nervous.
The imperial court will also select Shujishi from this new batch of Jinshi.
Shujishi were a special product of the old Hanlin Academy when it was flourishing. The Hanlin Academy would open small classes for them to teach them about officialdom, official documents and other things. This could be regarded as allowing these young scholars who had only studied rote books to adapt to officialdom as soon as possible.
Throw yourself into the vigorous construction work.
Nowadays, although the Hanlin Academy has declined, the Shuji scholars are still very tough.
Because after they are selected through the examination, they can be immediately awarded actual positions in the Hanlin Academy, and they have the privilege of being appointed as candidates.
Normally, Jinshi should go to the Ministry of Personnel to report after the palace examination, and then pass an examination in the Ministry of Personnel, and then report to the Ministry of Personnel.
Then these people were assigned to the six ministries, Yushitai, Zhongshu Province and other yamen to observe the government... In fact, they just served tea and water, did odd jobs, and learned things on the way.
After observing the government for three months, those who can be promoted to a regular position based on their performance will be promoted to a regular position. Those who cannot be promoted will report to the staff department. At this time, they can start to wait for vacancies, and they can fill the vacancies whenever there are vacancies.
"The First Clan"
Waiting for vacancies is waiting for vacancies, but even the top three Jinshis are all eighth-grade imperial officials. If you put them outside, they are at least a seventh-grade county magistrate.
Now is not the time when the dynasty was first established and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere. How can there be so many officials to do it for you?
Therefore, even after 1989, those officials who had gone out to wait for vacancies in the past ten years have still not arrived. They spend all day in the yamen, being served by Shangguan as a clerk, serving tea and water.
At this time, the power of Shujishi can be reflected.
After a person is selected to enter the Hanlin Academy, he can sit in the Imperial Academy for three years, during which he can learn things and sort out documents. Although it is not a big deal, it is better than stability.
Once every three years, you will automatically be promoted to a higher rank, don’t you envy me?
At this time, the Jinshi candidates of the same year may still be waiting for vacancies!
Three years later, the Shuji scholars will have to pass an exam. If they pass the exam, they will be able to stay in the Hanlin Academy, commonly known as "staying in the academy." If they fail to pass the exam, they will be "dismissed" and leave the Hanlin Academy.
When the Hanlin Academy was extremely prosperous, everyone must have wanted to stay in the academy, thinking that they would not be able to pass the exam, so they took other paths.
But it's different now. Basically no one wants to stay in the library. Everyone is cutting their heads and trying to get a job abroad.
