Chapter 0056: The End of the World

The sun gradually rose, and the lights inside the hall were blown out. The atmosphere inside the hall was somewhat oppressive, but not enough to make people collapse.

The officials served respectfully, silently praying for an end soon. These seven days of grading papers were really exhausting work. If it weren't for practicing Taoism and being physically strong, some people might not have been able to hold on.

"At present, the workload is a bit heavy, as long as the aftermath is handled properly... Only when the Yu family's task is completed, they will give some discount, and hope that they won't make mistakes again later!" Yang Cai thought, and accelerated his action.

Fortunately, there were only a few volumes that were slightly controversial and were replaced around sixty, which was within the allowed range.

Yang Cai picked up a roll, glanced at it, and put it away.

Looking at the scroll below again, Yang Cai's face was uncertain. He picked it up and looked at it, "Ye Qing

The first volume is neat and tidy, with answers almost identical to standard questions. Even if you want to deduct points, you can't find many flaws.

Turning over another volume, even if he didn't have an open literary style, Yang Cai, as a juren, still had basic appraisal ability. Seeing the seven neatly arranged essays, although it wasn't the first time he had seen them, his face changed as he read on. He secretly sighed in his heart, "I thought the so-called 'Tongjinshi' was just a private rumor among scholars, and in the officialdom, it was just a joke. I don't want to really have the talent of Tongjinshi

In the ox plowing test, amidst interference and haste, I was able to write these seven pieces with complete charm and clear understanding of literature and logic. It's truly incredible

This kind of article wants to be dismissed, and I dare not tamper with it in any way. "Thinking of this, Yang Cai felt a little regretful in his heart:" How could he offend such a person

As for methods such as replacement, modification, and contamination, Yang Cai didn't even think about them. After completing the self-study exam, he had a clear mirror of the Dao and Fa, as well as records of ghost and god inspections. These methods are the easiest to expose, and those who dare to do so have long been eliminated and their families wiped out.

Yang Cai, even if he has more thoughts, dare not make any fuss in this regard.

According to the imperial system, literary talent comes first, and regardless of one's luck, they will be admitted. Even if they rank last, there is no guarantee of anything else

I only hope that articles like Ye Qing's are not the most literary, so that they can be dismissed by the difference in their luck. If the luck of the Ye clan cannot be brought to the forefront, I don't know how much the Dragon Emperor Banquet has bestowed upon them. "Yang Cai secretly thought to himself that these sixty volumes were basically finalized, and Ye Qing was already at the forefront.

However, when it comes to sorting, there is still one level left. Yang Cai is unaware that someone has suppressed Ye Qing's aura, and he is not sure in his heart.

I have entered the Yu family without any merit. As long as I am not the most cultured and have good luck beyond thirty, I can be legitimately dismissed. As for the rest, even if some people question this book, I will be dismissed according to the rules. Is this kind of thing done less in the officialdom

As long as there is no concrete evidence, who would deal with an official for their words? With such an opening, who is not afraid of being bitten by petty people in the future?

It is even more damaging to the dignity of scholars, the court, and the Taoist sect. Even if one transcends the mortal world, they must face this rule seriously.

However, in the first three volumes, there is really nothing to say about the articles of Yu Fan and Yu San Gongzi. Zhang Minzhi is a famous scholar in the county. After a few years of delay, the articles have become more mature and stable. Although Ye Qing despises him, he has to admit that in my opinion, these three volumes cannot distinguish between high and low

It seems that only with an open and cultured demeanor can we distinguish who is the first! "Yang sighed, no longer thinking too much, and continued working.

The examiner conducted a serious review and occasionally found subtle comparisons between the written papers and the already finalized ones, deciding whether to discard or insert them. Seeing that the screening was nearing its end, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As the sun gradually rose, the sixty papers were basically selected, and the examiner's high heart was relieved. He inspected again and returned to his seat with a smile.

The chief examiner is Fan Shan, a fellow jinshi from the state middle school. He was lost in thought when Lan Chongwen approached and asked, "Mr. Fan, what are you thinking

Oh, I'm thinking about the test paper. I've read the first sixty papers, and they're all temporary heroes. I remember my level wasn't as high in previous years

Before the meeting, there will be a hundred volumes. I will review them again, and it's not good to compromise

Lan Chongwen smiled knowingly and said, "Yes, I feel that the level of this batch this year is a bit higher than previous years, but the quota is limited. With only sixty papers, I'm afraid no one can do it without being admitted

The system of the imperial court is like this. We have conducted a sea selection according to the system, and we are worthy of the heavenly court, the imperial court, and the scholars

Speaking of which, Lan Chongwen stood up and took a stack of exam papers from the table, browsing through them with a smile. "Look at the articles presented here, Yu Fan, Zhang Minzhi, and Ye Qing, they make me sweat all over. I dare not comment on such articles privately

Fan Shan stood up and took two steps, smiling and sighing, "That's why I said that this year's level is a bit higher than previous years. I think the articles of these three people are all at the level of legitimate candidates. This is still in the plowing cow test. If only three articles are tested in the state test, they may still excel and it's not impossible to reach the same level of jinshi

Lan Chongwen was about to speak when he saw an official bowing and saying, "Sir, the sixty volumes have been finalized

The two of them stood up and looked at these sixty papers one by one, placing them on the table one by one. They browsed through the papers and made their final affirmation.

Thirty candidates will be selected from these two thousand people for this major exam. If they succeed, they will become scholars and immediately have the status bestowed by the court. If they fail, it will consume their luck and they will only wait for the next one.

After finishing reading, the two looked at each other and said, "Let's invite a real person to come and show off

As soon as this was said, the palace door lit up. Seeing the invigilator enter, everyone immediately bowed and said, "Welcome the invigilator into the palace

After completing the formalities, Fan Shancai said, "Real person, let's start the literary atmosphere now. It would be more appropriate to release the grades of these students earlier

The invigilator nodded at the words and stood up, waving his sleeves at the silver seal in front of the table.

In the next moment, the suppressed literary aura could no longer be blocked, and a faint white literary aura emerged from all eight hundred rolls, gradually becoming thicker and further differentiating into red.

But after reaching the red color, most of them stopped evolving, while some continued to evolve and turned yellow. Seeing this, the six examiners breathed a sigh of relief.

The invigilator took a closer look and realized that all the golden literary qualities were included in the sixty papers, so he took out a paper and filled in "good grade"!

The six examiners were all smiling and signing off on this document. It can be said that at this point, the responsibility of the six examiners is no longer there.

After signing the document, the literary atmosphere evolved to the end. I saw that all five volumes had a slight green aura, and the last two volumes had some green aura before stopping. There were also three volumes that stubbornly evolved and turned into three shades of blue.

He was really a talented person at that time, difficult to distinguish between high and low, but had to distinguish between high and low, "sighed Fan Shan. Several examiners gathered up and distinguished the colors.

Yang Caixin is jumping. If Ye Qing is confirmed to be the first, then no one can dismiss her.

However, it was only a moment before the subtle differences were made. Fan Shan said, "Yu Fan is still the first, Ye Qing is the second, and Zhang Min is the third. Do you have any objections

No different intention! "The officials replied.

Yang Cai's heart sank, secretly feeling proud. To be honest, there was only a slight difference between them. If he hadn't sent someone to tamper with him, Ye Qing would have been the first.

The arrangement has been determined, so we will cancel all the silver seal suppression this time. You can arrange it first, "the invigilator waved his hand and withdrew the silver seal.

On the exam paper, there is a magnificent masterpiece, all suppression and seals have been lifted.

One after another, the air rose up into the sky, shining brightly. However, when the real person looked closely, the majority of it was red, occasionally some were pure yellow, and some were mixed with red and yellow.

Seeing this, the real person couldn't help but sigh. Red only has the aura of a scholar, while red and yellow are not. However, there are still some opportunities. If the color is pure yellow, it truly has the aura of a scholar.

At this moment, the qi and wen qi supported each other, and in the blink of an eye, the arrangement changed. Ye Qing did not grow rapidly, and the second place continued to decline, dropping to twenty in the blink of an eye.

At the age of twenty, the decline slowed down a bit, but it continued. The examiners couldn't help but stare at each other, stunned.

Wen Qi comes in second, with a drop of thirty, which is also difficult to see.

L ü Zhai

In the morning, the sun was shining brightly, and Lv Shangjing came out. Seeing that the walls of the courtyard had been repaired and the roofs of the houses had been renovated, he secretly felt satisfied.

In a moment, Lv Cao came out, wearing a brand new dress with a somewhat gloomy expression, but not too much sadness. She just carried the package and finally buttoned up Lv Shangjing.

Both of them remained silent, with no one speaking. After a moment, Lv Caoshi broke the silence and said, "Husband, I have purchased seven acres and three fen of land, which will be connected to the original two acres and seven fen of land. I have also hired a member of my family to cultivate the paddy fields, which is enough for our mother and son to use. Don't worry

Also, since you are a benefactor helping us, you also need to put in some effort. I know you have a great heart and always want to find the Lord, but even a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring. We cannot let others gossip about us

Besides, if you refuse to use your skills, who knows your abilities? It's not a problem to bury them any further, "said Lv Caoshi, pursed her lips, and said no more.

L ü Shang listened attentively, but his heart trembled and he became infatuated.

Truly worthy of being his wife, she spoke from the depths of his heart that he had not even thought about.

Although Lv Shangjing is poor and humble, there is always a trace of inexplicable arrogance. Now thinking about it, the Ding family's attitude has changed. It is certainly snobbish, but there is also a trace of arrogance at work - upon careful consideration, may I have intentionally or unintentionally looked down upon the Ding family and not done my best?

L ü Shangjing felt ashamed and blamed others for not showing her abilities. Many things were her own responsibility. When she thought about it, L ü Caoshi saw him stunned and secretly regretted, quickly saying, "Husband, what's wrong with my woman's words? Don't take them to heart

Upon hearing these words, Lv Shangjing regained her senses and stood still, but remained silent for a moment. After a moment, she sighed and bowed solemnly to her wife, saying, "I have been taught

With a sincere bow, I saw the gray aura emanating from this person's head dissipate, while white aura emerged, becoming full. There was also a hint of green aura gradually rising, shining brightly and finally appearing in the world after a long silence, exuding joy and excitement. Some of the green aura even flew out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
