Chapter 329: TBD
Zeng Xingwu took Lin Yanchao's scroll and looked at it for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At first, he thought that the candidates in this paper wanted to flatter Zhang Juzheng, but after reading the second article against the delegation of monarchy, he knew that he was wrong.
Zeng Xingwu thought for a while and came to the conclusion that this candidate was just speaking honestly, the first and second articles were all out of public intentions, neither against Zhang Juzheng, nor in support of Zhang Juzheng, otherwise he would not have written like this.
"In that case, let's take a third class low!"
You must know that the top ten rolls must only be between the first and second grades, if there is a third class on the roll, that is, there is a point, then there is absolutely no chance of the first grade, and it is reluctant to mix a second grade.
Zeng Xingwu thought of this, and wanted to write a point on the paper, but he hesitated at the moment when he wanted to put down the pen.
Zeng Xingwu picked up Lin Yanchao's article and read it again, and couldn't help sighing, putting aside his position, the article is really well written!
only talks about the arguments, the sentences are whipped into the inside, and the layout is in the middle of the comparison, and the afterglow of the Han and Tang dynasties can be read. This person must have read the articles of everyone in the Tang and Song dynasties thoroughly, and realized his own way, so that he could write such sonorous articles.
This kind of article does not say that he can stand out in the palace examination, and it is also a rare good article in the palace examination for hundreds of years, how can he put him in the third class.
I have thought about it, I can't scrap the text because of my own opinion, forget it, it's up to a few other adults to make a decision.
So Zeng Xingwu was going to write a point, but he suddenly changed it, and finally dropped a tip (second class) on the volume, and then stamped his official stamp, and then turned the table and handed the volume to the hands of Fang Fengshi, the secretary of the military department who was under him.
Fang Fengshi is a Huguang Jiayu man, and he is Zhang Juzheng's hometown like Zeng Xingwu, and he is also his hardcore. This person is a Jinshi of Jiajing for 20 years, good at military affairs, and is a famous minister on the same level as Wang Chonggu. When Zeng Xingwu handed the article to Fang Fengshi. He was reading an article by a scholar. He didn't immediately put down his article, and first read the Lin Yanchao scroll handed over by Zeng Xingwu.
After Fang Fengshi finished reading his own volume, he picked up the volume handed by Zeng Xingwu and looked at it.
Fang Fengshi didn't read the content of the article first, but first read Zeng Xingwu's evaluation.
Pointed!
Fang Fengshi nodded, it seemed that it was a good paper. But what the fate of the article will be, it depends on the time. If he sees it pleasing to the eye, he can draw a circle, so that the article will be set between the first and second class, and it will be a certainty.
If you write a point yourself, then the article will be between the second and third grades, and the ranking will not be too good.
Fang Fengshi first looked at the article to see if there were any yellow posts, and the article in the palace examination was finally for the Son of Heaven to read, and there was no transcription, so the scholar's article was wrong. The reader should not write directly on the paper with a red pen, but should paste a yellow paper post on the wrong place.
There are no yellow posts on Lin Yanchao's volume, which shows that there is no trace of error.
Then Fang read the paper from beginning to end. And the expression of reading the paper from beginning to end, he was the same as Zeng Xingwu, from the beginning of disdain, to the end as if he was run over by 10,000 grass and mud horses.
Fang Fengshi shook his head, the article was indeed good, better than the palace exam papers he had read before. One or a few chips higher.
Unfortunately, on the second question, this candidate is not in the right position. Otherwise, you must give one circle, no, three circles, ten circles.
He also thought that this candidate was honest and selfless.
You can't get a first-class paper like this. But it's a pity to fall to the third class, so he thought about it for a long time, wrote a sharp point on the paper, and then turned the table to Shen Shixing on the side.
Shen Shixing happened to finish correcting a volume at hand and picked up the volume. Read a few lines. He recognized this as Lin Yanchao's article.
Among the so many good articles in the palace examination, it can be seen at a glance that there are few articles that are superior, not to mention that he is already familiar with the style of his disciple.
It's just that what Shen Shixing doesn't understand is why Lin Yanchao wrote like this, of course he didn't think that Lin Yanchao wrote with impartiality like the previous two examiners. He thought that Lin Yanchao wanted to be at both ends of the end, left and right, but ****** was often unflattering.
Shen Shixing pinched his beard for a long time, and suddenly his brows were stretched out.
"This son is so wise."
Then Shen Shixing smiled, ticked a circle on the roll, and then stamped his official stamp.
Shen Shixing transferred Lin Yanchao's scroll to Zhang Xueyan, the head of the household.
Zhang Xueyan is also a close confidant of Zhang Juzheng.
After Zhang Xueyan read it, he immediately thought to himself that no matter how well the article is written, what is the use, the second question is wrong, it is wrong, and such an article categorically cannot be in the top ten.
He wanted to tick the dot (third class), but he saw that Shen Shixing had already hooked a circle in front of him, and according to the rule that the circle does not see the point, and the point is not seen, he can't tick the dot.
So Zhang Xueyan had no choice but to hook a point.
The volume was transferred to Yu Youding's hand, Yu Youding glanced at ten lines, saw it quickly, and then hooked it without hesitation.
The following came to the hands of the second assistant Zhang Siwei, Zhang Siwei couldn't help but look at it, pinched his beard and looked at it for a while, and then hooked a tip.
After that, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Wang Guoguang hooked the tip, the criminal department of the Shangshu Yan Qing, and the head of the Hanlin Academy Chen Siyu hooked the circle.
The ten paper readers have all corrected it, and Lin Yanchao's paper has a total of five circles and five sharp points. This result is not top-notch, because to ensure that you are in the top ten, it takes at least six laps to give the Son of Heaven a royal view.
There are nine articles that tick more than six circles for ten examiners.
And there are five articles in the five circles. So Lin Yanchao's volume became a pending volume and five other articles, competing for the last seat.
The five volumes have their own characteristics, and when they reach the top ten of the palace examination, they are all first-class articles, although Lin Yanchao's articles are good, but others are not bad, not to mention that several Zhang Party examiners think that he did not 'sing praises' in his second article, so he is the least optimistic among the five articles.
The five articles are all supported by the paper readers, and the articles supporting Lin Yanchao are Yu Youding, the deputy chief examiner of the examination, and Yan Qing, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
Several of the officials who read the papers are all bigwigs in the officialdom, and they pay attention to a harmonious atmosphere on their faces, and it is impossible to fight for them in public, but they do not give an inch below.
At this time, it was time for Zhang Juzheng to speak, he was the chief of the ten book readers, and he set the tone.
He said to Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing: "Ziwei, Ru Mo, what do you say?" ā
Zhang Siwei humbly said: "It's better to leave it to a few adults to decide." ā
Shen Shixing also said: "I don't have an opinion either. ā
If Zhang Juzheng really had an idea, he said: "Since everyone can't make up their minds, let's get rid of the vague name and look at the name." ā
All the readers of the paper said in unison: "Yuanfu is high! ā
The first thing to do in the palace exam is to read the article, but after the article, it still depends on luck, if the candidate's name is good, and the person is more handsome, it is a plus.
After the volume was unsealed, five pending articles were placed on the table. (To be continued.) )
