A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 49

    “… After verification by the Ministry of Rites, some students did get Jinshi subjects before the test. The Shang Shu and Shilang were greatly disappointed, and ordered the Jinshi essays and policy theory scores to be invalidated and all students to retake the test Students who are cheating are the first offenders, and the Ministry of Rites will not hold them accountable for the time being. I hope that you will hold your minds upright, and if there is another case of cheating, no matter what your identity or the reason, you will be disqualified from the examination and will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination for life.”

    Not to mention how terrified Dong Peng and Wu Tai were, Xiao Jingduo felt at ease when he saw this list.

    Xiao Jingduo had planned for the worst, but the final result was much better than he imagined. It’s just a re-examination. How difficult is this? He will use his own strength to prove that he doesn’t need to cheat at all.

      Although many people are dissatisfied with the light-handedness of the Ministry of Rites, most people are happy to be able to retake the exam once.

    Just kidding, that ghost-like essay topic, they want to take the test again!

    However, on the day of the make-up exam, when the exam papers were handed out to the students, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

    Even Xiao Jingduo raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

    The essay question is still “Tianwen”.

    Exactly the same clip, the same theme, and even the same questioning method, this is simply copied.

    Xiao Jingduo shook his head and smiled when he saw this question. The person who asked the question was confident, and could be said to be arrogant, so bold that two exams used the same question. Many students complained that the essays in the liberal arts exam were off-topic, and there was a problem of missing questions before the exam. The person who asked the questions was better, and they took the questions as they were, and asked everyone to take the test again to see who else could gossip.

    Official omissions are the most deadly.

    There are very few people on the field, either calm or ecstatic, but they all quickly picked up the pen.

    After the last exam, many students suddenly relaxed and went out to have fun. Only a few people were willing to continue to study the exam questions. Although the court’s move is unbelievable, it has to be admitted that this method is extremely clever.

    Those who are willing to study the exam questions after the exam are bound to be extremely hardworking and diligent people, and the court of course welcomes such people into the officialdom. If you don’t read the question unfortunately, then if you want to stand out among the many hard-working people, only those who are smart enough and talented enough to be able to beat the pack even if the official question is missed can do it. Either hard enough or smart enough, this is the selection criteria for this time.

    Unfortunately, Xiao Jingduo just happened to study the topic. Therefore, Xiao Jingduo wrote quickly, and the level of the article has improved a lot compared to the last time.

    However, by the time of the afternoon’s policy discussion, Xiao Jingduo’s good luck will come to an end.

    Because of the missing questions last time, the difficulty of this strategy theory has increased a lot, and it is purely a rare and difficult topic to write. Xiao Jingduo sighed, he knew that retaking the exam would not be so easy.

    After the exam was over, Xiao Jingduo saw a child come and name the exam papers in front of everyone. Xu Shi could see Xiao Jingduo’s surprise, and the boy explained, “The impact of leaking the questions last time was bad. To be fair, this time all the exam papers are not named, and whether they can pass the exam depends on their ability.”

    When I heard the boy’s explanation, the poor students were immediately overjoyed, and the better-born students were very sad.

    The influence of family background is almost completely shielded by grading the papers by name. This is really… extremely bold.

    After coming out, Bai Jiayi found Xiao Jingduo and asked, “Xiao Jingduo, are you sure this time?”

    Hearing such a question, Xiao Jingduo raised his eyebrows amusedly and looked at Bai Jiayi with a bit of teasing: “Why, are you worried?”

      Bai Jiayi took a long sigh and said, “There’s nothing to say, that’s fine. I’m convinced of the hero’s ability to endure it.”

    Xiao Jingduo said nothing, patted Bai Jiayi on the shoulder, and Bai Jiayi also punched back.

    It’s all said and done.

    After saying goodbye to Bai Jiayi, Xiao Jingduo walked to Dingyonghou Mansion. When he got on the horse, he saw Dong Peng and Wu Tai flashing by the side of the road.

    The arrangement of re-examination is very beneficial to Xiao Jingduo, and everyone is allowed to take the examination. In this way, instead of being exposed, the fraudsters hide their identities and blend in with many candidates.

    This is naturally the best. If Dong Peng and Wu Tai are not exposed, they will not involve Xiao Jingduo, and the whole story of the omission will not be known.

    However, Xiao Jingduo had to count a few more steps. What if Dong Peng and Wu Tai fell off the list and were unwilling.

    Dong Peng seemed to feel a scrutiny staring at him, and he immediately turned back, only to see the surging crowd and the exquisite carriage of the noble family.

    Is he thinking too much? Dong Peng shook his head. He was frightened these days, perhaps he was hallucinating.

    …

    Ministry of Rites.

    A marking officer saw a test paper and immediately showed a look of surprise. He quickly called his colleagues over: “Look, this article is written very well!”

    This test paper immediately spread throughout the room, and finally, this rather impressive article reached the examiner.

    Unlike others, the chief examiner, the minister of etiquette, knew a lot more. When he read this article, his heart jumped violently.

    Isn’t this the article written on that note? Could it be that there are still people who dare to cheat?

    There is such a coincidence in the world, rather than saying that this article is fraudulent, it is better to say that the person who wrote the note in the prince’s hand is imitating this article, and he imitates it badly.

    The Minister of Rites read it again, and the more I read, the more amazed I became. It was fantastic. The last time he read that note, he felt extremely uncomfortable. Now that he finally saw the full version, instead of the imitation that was pieced together, the Minister of Rites read it from the beginning to the end, and was very happy!

    Wizards, wizards, obviously this is not an article that can be written in an exam, presumably after the imperial examination was over, this person went home and thought about it for a long time. However, who would have thought that the essay was actually retaken and the same question was used, which made this person write this article.

    The Minister of Rites looked at the words “Tian Du” at the top of the page, and didn’t think this candidate was arrogant, but admired the person’s straightforwardness and self-confidence.

    Seeing the expression of the Minister of Rites, what other officials did not understand, someone immediately suggested: “This article is very good, if not, let’s make him the top of the list!”

    These words suddenly brought the minister of etiquette, who was addicted to the article, back to reality. The smile on his face became cold, he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and finally shook his head decisively: “It’s not right.”

    Other examiners wondered: “Why?”

    The Minister of Rites shook his head without saying a word. He naturally would not say that this “Tian Du” was a taboo for fraud. Although the Minister of Rites could not figure out what the strange note and the article in his hand were This kind of causal relationship, but he felt that it is better to have less than one thing more, and it is best to avoid one or two things like this.

    Therefore, the Minister of Rites touched his beard and said inscrutably: “This article is very well written, and it is too hard-edged to set it as the first. It is better to set it as the second.”

    So, “Tian Du”, which was written too well and took second place, appeared like this.

    The things of the past life happened again as promised.

    After reading all the test papers, the pulp pasted on the name can also be removed. Everyone couldn’t wait to open “Tian Du” and found that it turned out to be a little-known newcomer – Xi Wenji.

    The Servant of the Ministry of Rites was secretly relieved. Fortunately, it was not Dong Peng Wu Tai, nor Xiao Jingduo. He thought that this person was inseparable from the fraud and refused to let Xi Wenji be the first, but now it seems that he has wronged others.

    Dong Peng and Wu Tai, who were suspected of cheating, naturally disappeared from the crowd and missed the gold list.

    The list of this year’s Jinshi subjects has been released, and people from the Ministry of Rites are rushing over to read the new Jinshi examination papers. The servant of the Ministry of Rites did not stop him, and he rubbed his beard and looked at it for a while before saying to his subordinates: “It’s alright, it’s alright, you can read the paper whenever you want, call the person with the best handwriting first, and transcribe the list for the list. !”

     “What the waiter said is that the list will be released in two days, and this can’t be delayed.”

     It is a major event in Changan. Early in the morning, under the east wall of the Ministry of Rites, there were three floors inside and three floors outside.

    “Why so many people?”

    Xiao Jingduo came to the Ministry of Rites to read the list, but was blocked before taking a few steps. Hearing Bai Jiayi’s murmur, Xiao Jingduo also felt helpless: “I guess the people around me have come to watch the fun, but I didn’t know that so many people paid attention to the announcement of the Jinshi Division.”

    “Jin Shike was first off topic, and then fraudulently broke out. It has been ups and downs for so long, isn’t everyone in the city wanting to come and see what it is? In other words, the imperial court has decided to retake the exam. I didn’t expect to change the questions in the second exam, which is arrogant. If I don’t take the subject this year, I would also like to watch the fun.” Bai Jiayi said a little aggrieved.

    But now, they have become a lively sight.

    Xiao Jingduo was about to speak when suddenly his eyes narrowed: “The Ministry of Rites is here!”

    The waiting crowd immediately boiled, and the people behind couldn’t help but be anxious, and wanted to rush to the front to find out, but before the people in front could react, they were pushed forward.

    The crowd groaned and shouted, and there was a lot of noise. Xiao Jingduo and Bai Jiayi stood at the back, and thanks to their quick responses, they escaped. Bai Jiayi was itching and wanted to join in to watch the list, but was held back by Xiao Jingduo.

    “Why?” Bai Jiayi turned back and asked in confusion.

    “There is a problem with the list.” Although Xiao Jingduo had never seen the previous situation, his intuition was not right, “The jinshi has to ring the bell and drum for the list, how can he come out directly with the list?”

    “Ah?” Bai Jiayi opened his mouth in surprise, and after a while, the people who were desperately pushing to the front row let out a sigh, and many people shouted: “Why is it just a blank piece of paper? Where’s the name on it? ?”

    Sure enough, Xiao Jingduo showed an unexpected expression, and Bai Jiayi was completely convinced.

    “What is the Ministry of Rites doing?”

    People from the Ministry of Rites hid in the door and saw that the students outside were almost calm and made sure that they would not make excessive behaviors before lighting the firecrackers and playing the red drum: “Jinshike, Post it!”

    This time, the real list was posted on the east wall. Four yellow sheets of paper were pasted on the east wall of Zhang Gao, the top of which was written in light ink with the four characters “Rites and tribute to the Courtyard”, and the names of the students of Zhongju were neatly copied in thick ink on the bottom. The number one winner is a stranger, and the second is Xi Wenji. After a few, Xiao Jingduo saw his name on the list.

    Xiao Jingduo, a native of Chang’an, the fourth place in the Jin Shi Ke.
