In the next few days, the two examinees were indeed sitting withered all day long, and even the top student Shen was drowsy.

The reason why he didn't fall asleep was thankful that Zhao Zhuangyuan's snoring resonated with the resonance of the tone, which made him unable to sleep at all.

Mr. Zhao is also very capable of sleeping. Every morning, he will snore after less than a cup of tea. Sometimes he will snore like the continuous spring rain, sometimes like the thunder in summer, sometimes like the chirping of autumn insects, sometimes like the cold wind at winter night, like a four-season variation.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh secretly, it was indeed a real celebrity who was romantic. They couldn't help but lower their voices, for fear of disturbing him to rest.

Until lunch, Mr. Zhao would wake up on time again, rub his sleepy eyes, and said to everyone: "Thank you all for your hard work in the morning, go for lunch."

When I came back from lunch break, I had less than a cigarette and snored again, as if I never stopped...

Then at dinner, he would wake up on time and said to the examiners: "Thank you all for your hard work today, go and have supper."

After a long time, he was not very embarrassed. Once, he asked everyone, "I've snored and disturbed you?"

The examiners said that there was absolutely nothing. Especially every afternoon, they were tired and exhausted, but Shao Zongbo snored and refreshed, and everyone generally felt that their waists were no longer sore, their eyes were no longer blurred, and the speed of the papers was much faster.

Yes, I can't sleep anymore. So Mr. Zhao had to respond to everyone's request and insisted on sleeping hard every day. Later, he really lost his sleep. In order to maintain the quality of sleep during the day, he had to play mahjong with Duke Ding all night at night...

On this 23rd day, the day begins, and the examiners of each room begin to recommend the papers they are looking for.

Mr. Zhao finally cheered up and began to perform his duties.

He and Shen Shixing need to go through it quickly, and the examiners of each room selected thirty regular selections, ten backup selections, and then take several of them.

Because the current subject is admitted to 400, of which 220 people were selected for the southern examination, 140 people were selected for the northern examination, and 40 people were selected for the imperial examination. However, only 540 copies of the formal selection, not all recommended test papers will be selected.

According to the unspoken rules, if the examiner ranks first, he will be admitted to this room, and the more he will suffer. However, if the examiner is a department, he will receive certain care when he gets the score. As for how to divide the spoils, it depends on how the examiner takes it.

Zhao Shouzheng didn't understand these, but Shen Shixing was clear. However, Shen Zhuangyuan was not arbitrary, but he had to ask Zhao Shouzheng about his opinion when he saw each test paper. He nodded and said that he would win.

But why did Zhao Shouzheng say a word? He was always very self-aware and knew that if he didn't have his son's help, he might be a Qiu Feng Dun scholar. How could he be qualified to judge other people's exam papers?

Mr. Zhao was afraid that he would delay his ten years of hard work, so he would just make a decision like Shen Shixing, a real top scholar with a deep learning. There is no need to show his ability and be innovative. Moreover, he has no ability.

Shen Shixing himself is a good man, and Mr. Zhao Er made up his mind to accompany his husband and wife. The two of them naturally respected each other and were kind to the examiners. They were admitted according to the test papers they were choosing according to the rankings they had arranged, and the quotas were distributed as fair as possible, so that the examiners in the 18th Room were all satisfied.

They heard that in previous years, in order to show their ability, the chief examiners often deliberately tried to make it difficult for the examiners without background to come out of Taiwan. There are almost no one who fully respects their opinions like this year and does not serve as the principal candidate.

Everyone couldn't help but secretly say that they were lucky and thought to themselves that if they could be officials under these two Bodhisattvas, how happy would it be?

Soon, four hundred places were determined, and the time was after noon on the 24th, and the next day was the day to fill in the list.

The examiners piled up all the 3,600 unsuccessful papers in the classroom, and asked the examiner to search for the papers.

This is also the last chance for the students to study in this subject...

However, usually the main testimonials just follow a formality, symbolically searching, and finding a few lucky ones to win, is considered a hatred for the current subject.

Of course, there is a mean chief examiner, so it is normal not to search for the exam.

However, the examiners found that the chief examiner who had been calmly taking the lead was a little nervous at this time.

"Brother Gongming has been marking the papers with Guangchen this time. Can you please do it?" Shen Shixing said jokingly, and at the same time he took a meaningful look at Zhao Shouzheng.

It means that if the three young men's papers are "remaining beads", this will be the last chance to remedy.

"No, no, no," Zhao Shouzheng waved his hand and said, "The level of the chief examiner is much higher than that of the senior officials, so I'd better continue to work hard on the chief examiner."

"Where are, Brother Gongming has a noble character and a profound knowledge, and is above his own official position." Shen Shixing said, this was clearly a hint that the three brothers were admitted. Then he put his heart back in his stomach and quickly became humble.

After some commercial hype, Shen Shixing still searched for the fallout, and Zhao Shouzheng did not change the fate of any scholar from beginning to end.

The examiners secretly praised the young master who passed by the flowers, and the leaves were not touched. They were perfectly avoiding suspicion!

No matter how many admissions are in the end, there will be no criticism...

Next, the 25th to 27th and 3rd days are used to rank.

On the 25th, the examiners moved to the court and remained harmonious.

Everyone calmly ranked the 18th Room's papers first, and then began to fill in the A and B lists on the 26th.

Fill in the ‘B List’ in the morning and fill in the ‘A List’ in the afternoon. The A List is also called the main list, which is the first of the eighteen houses selected by the examiner of the 18th room, called the ‘head of the book’.

These eighteen volumes are also the top 18 in this session. Among them, the top leaders of "Poetry", "Book", "Rites", "Book", "Book", and "Spring and Autumn Annals" are the top five in the undergraduate exam...

After all rankings are scheduled, the A and B lists are filled with the number of thousands of characters. From this moment on, no one can change the rankings on the list.

On the 27th, two tribute officials came over with the ink scroll and Kaifeng with the chief examiner. After the supervisory officer paired the red scroll and the ink scroll one by one, filling in the candidate's names on the corresponding positions on the A and B lists.

When Shen Shixing saw the final Chinese list, he was stunned because he only saw the names of Zhang Sixiu and Lu Xingzhou. However, he could not find the name of Zhang Xianggong's eldest son Zhang Jingxiu...

When Shen Shixing thought of Mr. Zhang's gloomy face, he couldn't help but slap him. He didn't even care about anyone in this session. The results have come out now, so there is no need to avoid suspicion. He directly pulled Mr. Zhao outside and asked in a low voice: "What should I do?"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Shouzheng asked with a smile. Of course he felt better when he saw that his disciples were doing well in the exam.

Seeing him laughing, Shin Shixing secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Did you do it on purpose?"

"That's right." Zhao Shouzheng nodded with a bright smile.

"Why is this?" Shen Shixing said in shock.

"Brother Yu thought he would not take any action, but he was responsible for this session." Mr. Zhao said that if he did not interfere, he would have a more fair ranking.

Shen Shixing thought he was not referring to Zhang Jingxiu. When he heard this, his face turned red and bowed to him in shame: "Brother Gongming is dedicated to his duties, but I have too many selfish thoughts. I am too distracted by you as an official and a person!"

As he said that, he sighed and made up his mind to say, "Well. If Mr. Zhang blames him, we will bear it together!"

"Why did Mr. Zhang blame us?" Zhao Shouzheng looked at Shen Shixing strangely and said with a smile: "I see that his second young master is on the list, so he is too happy to come."

"Yes!" Shen Shixing suddenly felt enlightened, thinking yes, I was just worried that the eldest son would not win, but to outsiders, the second son was in high school, that was Zhang's son's son, and he had already achieved the legend of a father and son's Jinshi!

So from Zhang Xianggong's perspective, it is actually very glorious. Thinking of this, it seems that one son failed to win, which is actually better than two. At least it can block everyone's words, and no one will criticize his character.

He knew that Zhang Juzheng's reform made officials miserable, and Shilin was resentful. If the two young masters were all over the place, there would definitely be many people who were sarcastic and provocative.

They dare not openly criticize Mr. Zhang, and the finger will definitely be pointed at themselves as the examiner...

Thinking of this, Shen Shixing couldn't help but feel scared. At first, he only thought about how to satisfy his leader, but he didn't consider this level.

Fortunately, there was a senior and persistent deputy examiner who thought about him. The good reputation he had accumulated over the years would not be gone.

Thinking of this, he once again bowed to Zhao Shouzheng and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Gongming, for your deep affection and friendship. I dare not express my gratitude. I am grateful to you, Moming!

"This..." Zhao Shouzheng was confused and thought to himself that he was following something. Why did he feel so hard to communicate? He couldn't help but feel ashamed. It seems that I, the top scorer in parallel, cannot compare with the real price of the product.

He had no choice but to give up the gift quickly, saying that he was too polite.

As a result, in the end, Mr. Zhao did not figure out what the person was talking about.

It’s also a pity that Shen Shixing was too cautious and spoke too obscurely, and he ended up talking to the other side of the duck…

The 29th day is the day when the Ministry of Rites issues the title.

However, Zhao Hao did not wait for the results to be released at home, but instead took the children outside the tribute courtyard to wait.

The examiners who had been locked up for a month finally regained their freedom until the closed gate of the tribute court opened.

After the sedan chairs of Dingguo Duke, Ma Butang and other members of the officials came out, the official sedan chair of Zhao Erye also came out.

He was just waiting for him when he didn't know what kind of tricks he had to wait for him when he suddenly heard someone calling him grandpa. He opened the curtain with some emotion and saw Zhao Hao holding a pair of children in his arms, and three boys were beckoning to him by the way.

"Stop!" Mr. Zhao's eyes were shallow, and his eyes immediately turned red.

The sedan chair owner quickly got off the sedan chair. Before Changsui could press down the sedan chair rod, he saw the master crawling out with a whoosh, and ran to meet him with his arms: "I'm back, I really miss my father!"

Mr. Zhao was afraid of being hugged by his father in public, so he quickly whispered: "Shixiang, Shiqi, Shifu, why don't you go and hug grandpa quickly."

The three boys quickly ran forward and reached out to hug them.
