About the fifth watch, Ye Zuqia had already woken up.

After some freshening up, I came to the scrivener hall and saw a scribe under the care of three sergeants, bringing a scroll of papers.

Ye Zuqia didn't come early, at this time, Shangguan Jun, Lu Dian, and others had already arrived in the hall. The clerk presented the scroll with both hands to the highest official position of the Si Nong Temple among the inspectors, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last one. ”

Ding Zhili lowered his head to inspect the seal on the outer skin of the scroll, saw that the seal was tightly sealed, nodded, and signed the famous painting on the receipt brought by the bookstore.

The process of unpacking the transcript of the test paper is basically to copy the test papers sent by each examination room, then mix and bind, and then immediately send them to the hands of the examination paper officer.

These bound rolls, in the process of transmission, are rolled into a roll, and the outside is wrapped in a cover. The cover should also be stamped with the seal of the sealing officer. As for the original, it was sealed, and the three families of Zhigongju, Mi Seal, and Prison Officer each affixed seals.

Hundreds of test papers have been piled up at the inspection test papers, and the papers that were opened yesterday are put aside, and those that have not been opened on the other side are waiting for the inspectors to open them today. The last volume of the last paper that had just been sent was placed on the top, and there were only more than 20 copies, and the scrolled scroll was obviously smaller than the scroll of other test papers.

Ye Zuqia glanced at the scroll and scroll piled up in the box, since it was the last volume, then Han Gang, who handed in the scroll the last night, must be among them.

Han Gang is the one who has attracted the most attention among the five thousand tribute students this time. He was among the latest to submit his papers, and every examiner knew about it. Of course, his scroll would only appear in the scroll that had just been delivered.

Ye Zuqia wanted to take it for a look, but there were a few people who had the same mind as him. Shangguan Jun took the lead and took the test paper in his hand first. Glancing at a few colleagues who were about to make a move, he immediately opened the cover and unfolded the tightly rolled test paper.

Generally speaking, those who will be dragged to the bottom of the Jinshi examination are basically those who are shallow but unwilling to give up, those who have the ability will not be dragged until the drum beats, and those who are self-aware will also hand in the papers and go out after writing casually.

Shangguan Jun only looked at the answer to the Moyi Sutra at the front, and shook his head again and again, but it was not the same. Although it is not as perfunctory as the few rolls I saw yesterday, it is a simple sentence of 'Xi Xi Gu Feng, Yin and Rain.' He wrote a thousand-word answer, not only this one, but also the other twenty-nine verses, and the answers given were all long, but I didn't know what to do.

'Why don't you go and learn to 'Ruoji'? Shangguan Jun sneered. They are not familiar with the "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics", and they can only talk nonsense casually when they get to the examination room, and if they write for a long time, it will naturally take a lot of time.

Shangguan Jun read more than a dozen copies in a row, and this was almost the case. After looking through it for a while, the volume was turned over with a rattle, and finally I saw a passable one. Every answer was strictly in accordance with the "Commentary", which made Shangguan Jun nod his head involuntarily.

"This one is good, there are twenty-eight middle grids."

The so-called middle grid means that the keyword cannot be bad in a word, and the provincial and many can only be verbal particles such as 'Zhihu also'. Among the thirty questions, twenty-eight can be selected, and among the test papers that Shangguan Jun read yesterday, it can also be regarded as one out of ten.

The other inspectors didn't do their own thing, they all watched Shangguan Jun's movements, and when they saw him shaking his head continuously, he saw it quickly, and he knew that those test papers must be unsightly. When Shangguan Jun finally nodded, they glanced at each other, wondering if it was Han Gang's scroll.

Next, Shangguan Jun seemed to have changed his luck, and after flipping through the two copies, he found that there was a test paper with multiple middle grids.

It's just that his head didn't nod for long, but he frowned again and said to himself: "This is not in line with the note!" ”

is different from the previous test paper that satisfied him, the two wrong ones are just missing words. And this unqualified answer is completely self-explanatory, completely different from the "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics".

'Yi and Heaven and Earth Accurate' is a very key sentence in the Book of Changes, and it is also a question that normal candidates can answer. In the previous test papers that were rejected by Shangguan Jun, most of them answered correctly. But the answer given by this paper is deviant.

However, this answer is not like the previous volume, it is completely scribbled, full of nonsense.

"If the qi gathers, it will be visible and visible from the light, and if the qi is not gathered, it will be invisible from the light." Reading the two sentences in the answer, you can already see that behind it, there is a complete system. Shangguan Jun shook the test paper and showed it to the officials: "Whose statement is this?!" ”

This is Zhang Hengqu's paraphrase. Qi is the origin of all things, who else would he be?! Ye Zuqia deserves to be the top talent, and immediately gave the answer. He stared at the test paper twice, and immediately found another answer that was different from the commentary, "As for the 'Eight Rules' governing the capital, the 'Eight Unifications' governing the people, and the 'Nine Taels' being the country...... he hesitated, "It seems that he has heard it somewhere, but he can't remember it for a while." ”

"This is a passage from Xiangfu Xianggong's explanation of Zhou Li, and there is this section in Xianggong's "Huainan Miscellaneous Sayings". Lu Dian's mouth opened at this time.

'The Great History of the Six Canons of the Establishment of the State, the Governance of the State against the State, the Law against the Governance of the Government, and the Governance of the Reverse Capital', Zheng Xuan at the end of the Han Dynasty and Kong Yingda's notes and sparse at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty have been in use for hundreds of years, but Wang Anshi has a different interpretation of this. Lu Dian, a disciple of Wang Anshi, of course knows very well.

After getting the answers from Ye Zuqia and Lu Dian, Shangguan shook the test paper and didn't need to look at it anymore.

Silence also descended on the hall, eyes crossed in the air, and the officials exchanged glances in silence.

Different from Zheng Xuan's annotations, and also different from Kong Yingda's sparseness, the answers to these questions are completely different from the "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics" as a standard textbook by Guozijian today, but come from Zhang Zai and Wang Anshi. If only one of them is used, there will be many possibilities for the candidate's identity, but if it appears on the same paper at the same time, it cannot be someone else.

But it didn't break it. If it is broken, whether it is won or discarded, it will cause a storm in the outside world. Once it spreads, it will either offend Shilin Qingyi, or offend Han Gang, as well as the towering backers behind him.

With their status as a high-ranking scholar, they can underestimate Han Gang and despise Han Gang. But how many people are willing to provoke such a meritorious and well-known figure as Han Gang for no reason?

Mo Jing, a professor from Nanjing Guozijian, frowned at this time: "In the second year of Zhenzong Jingde, Li Di and Jia Bian were famous in Beijing. Lifting the jinshi, Di is given the rhyme, and the side is "the teacher is not allowed to be the teacher" to the "many", which is different from the commentary, and they are all dethroned. When Wang Wenzheng [Wang Dan, the famous minister of the Zhenzong Dynasty] participated in politics, he said: "Although Di is guilty of not taking the test, but out of inadvertence, his mistakes can be omitted. Bian Peculiar said that it will make the future life a chisel and gradually not grow. Therefore, Li Di was accepted, and Jia Bian was deposed. For the sake of the story, it is better to dethrone this volume. ”

Mo Jing used past precedents as evidence to propose that Han Gang's scroll be deposed. But no one paid any attention to him,

- Times have changed!

Wang Dan was in the early years of Zhenzong, after the changes of the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism had not yet been revived, of course, it was necessary to take the Han and Tang dynasties as the sect. But now that various schools of thought have emerged, the long-standing "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics" has long been approved as a sieve. Moreover, there are rumors in the DPRK and China that the Jingyi Bureau will soon be established to re-establish the official classic commentary.

Mo Jing gritted his teeth and insisted on his opinion: "In any case, since the answer to this volume is not in line with the commentary, it cannot be judged correctly." If this one can be let go, what about the other degraded papers? Do you want to let it go too?! Since it has been stipulated in advance to follow the "Commentary", it cannot be changed at will. Even in front of the Son of Heaven, I say the same! ”

Mo Jing was ruthless, and all the officials looked at each other. Among this group of inspectors, only Mo Jing is an outlier, and the others are all close to the New Party, and no one wants to offend Wang Anshi's Chenglong Kuaison-in-law. But he has already said that he will make trouble in front of the Son of Heaven, which proves that he will definitely expose this matter to the public. Even if his opinion can be suppressed now, who can suppress the public opinion among the scholars outside?!

looked at Mo Jing's angry appearance...... Ye Zuqia and the others all had a headache.

Ye Zuqia never wanted to compete with others, let alone random sinners, he proposed, "It's better to put it aside for the time being, and send it to the exam and re-examination to ask their opinions." ”

Spot check, examination, and re-examination are the three gates of the test paper. If the three judgments are inferior, they will undoubtedly be dethroned and will not be sent to the examiner. However, if there is a dispute between the three judges, the verdict papers will be presented to the four main examiners, including Zeng Bu and Lui Huiqing, so that they can confirm the results. Ye Zuqia believes that among the examiners and repeaters, one of them will definitely give a different judgment from Mo Jing. At that time, you can send the paper to the examiner, and you will have nothing to do with yourself.

"What's the use of me?!" Mo Jing sneered, so that Ye Zuqiao couldn't get off the stage.

For a while, it was all gone. Mo Jing, on the other hand, raised his head and no longer looked down on this cadre: 'This generation is all mediocre and shallow, and he will not waver in upholding the right path for himself. ’

Shangguan Jun was looking down at the papers, carefully reviewing the answers to each question. After reviewing thirty questions, he found another place with a different interpretation, but he no longer had the heart to find out whether the answer came from Wang Xue or Guan Xue, and a chill spread throughout his heart.

Unfolding the scroll to everyone, Shangguan Jun said with a calm face: "According to the law this time." A part of the Moyi Sutra, if there are twenty-seven of the thirty questions, it is considered qualified. And this volume...... It is exactly twenty-seven questions, and only three questions are still to be discussed! ”

Mo Jing, who was immersed in a tragic sense of 'although there are tens of millions of people, I will go', was stunned for a moment, and Ye Zuqia, Lu Dian, and others also felt a chill in their hearts.

Is this Han Gang's calculation?! ’

Since Han Gang was able to correct all the other twenty-seven questions according to the annotations, how could the other three questions only understand the interpretations of Wang Xue and Guan Xue?! This is clearly his deliberate disclosure of his identity.

But Han Gang dared to take risks and deliberately wrote the wrong answer, as long as he made a mistake, it would be the result of his downfall. It can be seen that his courage is great, his thoughts are deep, and he is confident in his own talent - he is confident that none of the other 27 questions will be wrong.

The hall fell silent again, Han Gang's bold methods and mental tricks were terrifying, who would dare to dethrone his scroll here in such a situation?

And with his score on Moyi, who can easily dethrone him?!
