Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 24 Three baskets of rice made Zhu Yuanzhang furious!

In the main hall.

Most of the scholars had sad faces, scratched their heads and had difficulty writing, and were anxious in their hearts.

How to identify this rice?

Who can come and save them!

This group of scholars was panic-stricken.

They regretted it now.

The so-called gentleman is far away from the kitchen...

Far fart!

If I had known that they would not listen to the devil's distant chef back then, if they had also entered the chef's kitchen and learned about grains, their palace examination today would not be so difficult.

They watched with envy as the writings of several scholars were flying.

It would be great if they could do this.

The officials looked at this group of scholars.

Show sympathy.

They also took the imperial examination in the past.

I also know that the exam is not easy.

However, they asked themselves.

There has never been a test question as weird and difficult as Ye Xuan's.

It was just their bad luck that this generation of scholars met Ye Xuan.

"Let's retake the exam."

"At least there won't be Ye Xuan next term."

Baiguan thought in his mind.

The lamp placed on one side to keep track of time is one foot and seven feet high. It is made of gold and jewelry. It is extremely bright and luxurious. It is divided into four floors. The upper floor is arranged in a circular shape with the figures of Ersu and the sun and the moon. The lower floor displays birds, turtles and dragons. Tiger.

A wooden figure in the four corners of the lower part of the timing lamp holds a bronze cymbal and makes a clear and deep sound of water.

The sound spread out like invisible water ripples.

resounded throughout the hall.

After an hour, it was time for the palace examination.

"The time has come, all candidates stop writing!"

The eunuch shouted while holding a whisk.

The scholars put down their pens anxiously, showing reluctance.

They haven't finished writing yet.

I don’t know if I wrote it right or not.

The eunuch collected the answer sheets one by one, then looked hesitantly at Zhu Yuanzhang and then at Ye Xuan.

The examiner of the palace examination is usually the emperor.

Therefore, according to the custom, the answer sheet was handed over to the emperor.

But this time is different.

The examiner is a small fifth-grade doctor.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the eunuch's hesitation and waved his hand.

"Give the answer sheet to the examiner."

Ye Xuan served as the examiner.

He should be allowed to review the files.

What's more, he still hasn't figured out Ye Xuan's operation until now.

"Here."

The eunuch responded respectfully.

He handed the answer sheet in his hands to Ye Xuan.

"Master Ye, the answers of the scholars."

Ye Xuan nodded in response and took the answer sheet.

Look at them one by one.

The scholars stared at Ye Xuan with resentment on their faces, and the resentment almost took shape.

How virtuous and capable they are.

They were actually able to get this genius who wrote the exam questions for them to come and give them the exam questions.

Moreover, this time's imperial examination question...is this a question?

Identify the rice?

They had never seen or heard of such palace examination questions before.

Past tributes.

How can anyone take exams like them?

After racking his brains to pass the exam, Ye Xuan chose the devilish question for the general exam. Who would have thought that he would also be included in the palace exam.

What grievances do they have?

In vain, they read poetry and books and memorized the Four Books and Five Classics.

But this time, I am afraid that I will fall into the hands of the devil Ye Xuan.

The hearts of all the scholars were sad.

They have spent most of their lives making policy discussions, writing eight-part essays, and are also good at reciting poems and composing poems.

If Ye chooses to test them, they will naturally not be afraid.

Even if you ask them to write a poem in seven steps.

After racking their brains, they were able to compose a few high and low songs.

However, Ye Xuan went in the direction of the evil door.

You said, if it's unpopular, that's fine.

Ye Xuan just did some evil things.

All the officials looked at Ye Xuan curiously.

I don’t know what he wanted to do by asking the scholars to identify the rice.

And what about the answers of the scholars?

Ye Xuan quickly read the answer sheet in his hand.

Most scholars do not touch the spring water with their fingers, and they are pampered and do not know whether the rice is good or bad.

So this group of people put these rice in good words.

And in order to show off their ability to write articles and memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, they quoted scriptures to praise the three baskets of rice.

Ye Xuan looked like an old man looking at his cell phone.

There are dozens of lines in one glance.

Ye Xuan read it quickly.

Photographic memory tells him to scan it once and he can remember it all.

Soon, Ye Xuan read through the thick stack of answer sheets.

Among these answers, only a few people identified three baskets of rice.

The rest cannot recognize rice.

Ye Xuan put down the answer sheet in his hand, divided it into several piles, and asked the eunuch to hand it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Everyone was surprised.

The marking was completed so quickly?

"This person read the answer sheets of more than two hundred scholars so quickly. He obviously didn't read them seriously. This person is really careless in his work. Does he really take this imperial examination seriously?"

Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites, could not help but criticize.

Liu Bowen was also stunned.

There was something strange in my heart.

"Isn't this person's marking speed too fast?"

The scholars couldn't help but frown.

Although most of them cannot tell the quality of rice, they are all racking their brains to write articles.

But Ye Xuan finished reading one person's article in less than a few seconds.

Being so perfunctory made them feel unhappy.

Their sense of Ye Xuan suddenly became very bad.

Zhu Yuanzhang could not wait to know what Ye Xuan was up to.

He didn't even look at the scholar's answer sheet handed over by the eunuch, but asked:

"Mr. Ye, you brought three baskets of rice to the main hall to test these scholars. Why did you do this?"

All civil and military officials and scholars in the court looked at Ye Xuan.

They want answers too.

Especially the scholars.

Their gazes were so intense that they seemed to be staring right through Ye Xuan.

Such perverted test questions.

Are you really taking the exam for others?

It's simply outrageous.

It’s not like they are farmers, they have to identify rice for wool.

If Ye Xuan doesn't give them a definite reply.

I'm afraid they couldn't help but gesture with Ye Xuan in the main hall.

Ye Xuan did not answer, but said:

"Your Majesty, do you know where these three baskets of rice come from?"

"These three baskets of rice come from Yangzhou, Taicang and Juncang respectively."

Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils shrank slightly and his face darkened.

He originally thought that these three baskets of rice were randomly obtained by Ye Xuan for the scholars to identify, but he did not expect that the rice came from these places.

Taicang is the granary of the Ming Dynasty.

The military warehouse is the granary where soldiers are paid.

However, among these three baskets of rice, only one basket was good, and the rice in the other two baskets was very bad.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a farmer.

So, easily identify the quality of these paddy.

At the same time, I was vaguely aware of the problems.

"Langzhong Ye, keep talking!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice contained anger.

"This basket is full of grains and comes from Yangzhou."

"This basket of shriveled grain comes from Taicang."

"And this basket of moldy grains comes from the military warehouse."

Ye Xuan informed.

"good!"

"OK!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.

He shouted good.

However, his face was clouded and there was no joy at all.

After all, Taicang, the granary and military warehouse of the Ming Dynasty, are such important food reserves.

The food inside is of such poor quality.

This could not but make Zhu Yuanzhang angry.

Zhu Yuanzhang pressed his hand on the armrest, with veins popping out on the back of his hand. His cheeks turned red with anger, and he suppressed his anger and said:

"Ye Langzhong."

"Tell me, what do these three baskets of different grains represent?"

"So that all these people can listen!"
