Chapter 144 Examiner from the Public Rites Department: Are you serious about this question?
Department of Rites, in a certain room.
Candlelights in lanterns danced in various corners, barely illuminating this rather gloomy room.
A candle was lit in the center of the tawny wooden table. The bright yellow flame on the candle danced, illuminating the faces of every etiquette official around the table.
The eyes of the official from the Ministry of Rites twitched, and his expression became quite funny, as if he didn't know what kind of complex emotions to express and his facial features were twisted together.
Reduce difficulty?
What do you call lowering the difficulty?
If you exert yourself with all your strength, wouldn't it be like climbing the road of Shu?
Is it as difficult as going up to the sky?
This is outrageous.
and.
Is this question really serious?
Some of the officials from the Ministry of Rites came to assist Ye Xuan for the first time. They had heard in the past that Ye Xuan's exam questions were weird and outrageous, but they didn't take it seriously.
Exam questions?
No matter how weird or outrageous it is, how weird or outrageous can it be?
Now that they suddenly saw Ye Xuan's test questions for the first level of the county examination, they realized that those people's evaluation of Ye Xuan's test questions was really very realistic.
Ye Xuan’s test questions.
It is indeed super weird and outrageous.
Is there really an answer to this question?
Can the candidates answer it?
The officials of the Ministry of Rites looked at me and I looked at you, secretly winking and pushing each other, and then they moved to Ganzhi to see that this person who had passed the primary and secondary imperial examinations with Ye Xuan Shizhou was pushed out.
In addition to the joint examination, the examiner examination, and this county examination, Yang Qianzhi has served as an examiner for the third time.
In fact, he felt like crying without tears.
He doesn't want to either.
As a person in charge and as an examiner, you have to bear certain risks. If something happens, he who is assisting you will also be punished.
"Um... can you let me go?"
Yang Qianzhi whispered these words from his heart.
Other officials from the Ministry of Rites:...
Is this what they asked me to say?
Now we are discussing exam questions!
Where did you go?
Ye Xuan patted Yang Qianzhi on the shoulder and showed a warm smile.
"We are all colleagues in the Ministry of Rites, and I am relatively familiar with you. I believe in your character, so I am optimistic about you and selected you to be responsible for the county examination together.
Yang Qianzhi was so moved that he was about to shed tears.
He really, really......
This trust is not needed!
He would rather Ye Xuan didn't trust himself and not choose himself.
A high-stakes matter like the imperial examination.
He doesn't want to participate at all.
He has a wife and children at home, oh, no children yet, but there will always be.
He only wanted to become a member of the imperial examination team if he was mentally retarded. He took such a big risk and his salary was only a little.
It's better for him to continue his daily job in the Ministry of Rites honestly, which is stable and risk-free, and is infinitely better than becoming one of the people in charge of the imperial examination.
Official from the Ministry of Rites:………………
They held Yang Qianzhi's face, pulled the guy who was pushing the topic further and further, and then moved closer to Ye Xuan, staring at him with fiery eyes, like a man from Victoria's Secret.
Ye Xuan felt a slight chill on his back.
He doesn't wear Victoria's Secret... No, he's not a woman.
In their wild thoughts, these officials from the Ministry of Rites spoke.
"Master Ye, is it really okay for you to ask such test questions?"
they said politely.
Cue Ye Xuan.
Hope he finds the key to the problem.
Ye Xuan:??
"Is there something wrong with my test question?"
"Is the difficulty too low?"
Ye Xuan, who had no sense of the difficulty of his exam questions, said this.
Official of the Ministry of Rites:
Got it.
This one also wants to increase the difficulty.
Their faces turned red, their mouths opened wide, and they moved their mouths, as if they wanted to say something. Finally, they looked at Ye Xuan's face, swallowed all the words in their throats, and said with complex expressions:
"Master Ye, do you have answers to the test questions you asked?"
"There is no answer to this question.
"
Ye Xuan said matter-of-factly.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites opened their eyes wide and opened their mouths, their faces full of astonishment and shock.
No answer?
There is no answer for the imperial examination. Isn’t it a joke?
Although this is just a county test.
But you can’t mess around.
Even if you have great talent, extraordinary wisdom, and unparalleled strategy, you still don't act like this.
"Master Ye...there is no answer...then how will the candidates' examination papers be marked?"
One of the officials from the Ministry of Rites asked weakly.
"There is no prescribed answer to this question."
"Candidates can speak freely."
"As long as it makes sense."
Ye Xuan said.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to recruit scholars with the Eight-part Writing System and use the Four Books and Five Classics to constrain the minds of scholars.
After some persuasion from him, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer had such thoughts.
However, because of face.
...*..........
Zhu Yuanzhang did not explicitly cancel the eight-legged essay recruitment.
Ye Xuan set up this kind of open-ended examination questions so that candidates can speak freely, hoping that readers can open up their thinking and not be constrained by the Four Books and Five Classics.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites looked at each other.
They felt that Ye Xuan's move was inappropriate.
The content of the examination questions is not within the scope of the Four Books and Five Classics, and is already deviant.
However, Ye Xuan actually said that candidates can speak freely instead of analyzing the questions according to Saint's ideas. This approach is really audacious.
"Master Ye, this is a move."
"I'm afraid something is wrong?"
"If the emperor knew..."
The examiner from the Ministry of Rites showed fear.
Zhu Yuanzhang said that Tong Sheng tried to let Ye Xuan take full responsibility, but he did not say to let Ye Xuan do things. If Ye Xuan does things like this, will their helpers also be affected by Yuchi.
...00
Think of this possibility.
They looked terrified.
Ye Xuan saw the fear on their faces and comforted them:
"Don't worry."
"I'm the one in charge."
"If the sky falls, a tall man will hold it up."
"If something happens, I will be fully responsible."
"I promise nothing will happen to you."
Under his persuasion, Zhu Yuanzhang already wanted to give up the idea of recruiting scholars with stereotyped writing, so he gave him full authority to handle the Tong Sheng Examination.
This represents Zhu Yuanzhang's trust.
At the same time, I also want to see what kind of Tongsheng test Ye Xuan will come up with and what kind of test questions he will give.
so.
Zhu Yuanzhang had expectations in his heart.
Even if Ye Xuan pulled all the candidates to the suburbs and designated their examination as a marathon, even if Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, he would not blame him. Of course, the premise is that Ye Xuan can really screen out talents through marathon.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites heard Ye Xuan's assurance.
His face relaxed a little.
Ye Xuan said so.
What else can be done.
Just work.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites began to print the test questions one by one, and then sealed the test questions. These sealed test questions would then be sent to each county and would not be opened until the county examination began.
Therefore, before the exam started, only Ye Xuan and this group of Ministry of Rites examiners knew the exam questions. Other than that, no one knew what the exam questions were.
Time passed in a blink of an eye.
The sealed examination questions were quickly sent to the magistrates of each county.
Immediately afterwards.
The county exam is coming.
Amid the expectations of all the scholars, the county examination began.
