Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 332: Enke Examiner

It's another morning.

Xu Jinyu continued to feel drowsy, and the officials in front were about to fight because of the examiner of the special examination.

"I recommend the Minister of Rites Xue Weiran as the chief examiner. Mr. Xue is an upright person who never forms cliques or factions. He is the best candidate for the chief examiner."

"Your Majesty, I object. The Minister of Rites was the chief examiner in the last examination. According to the rules, the examiner should be replaced this time."

"I recommend the Left Censor-in-Chief Ren Changfeng, you are a man of outstanding talent..."

"I recommend Mr. Jiang Hai, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War..."

"I recommend you, the Minister of Public Administration..."

·······

Some people sincerely recommend it, while others just want to take advantage of the situation. I can't be the boss, and neither can you.

After all, during this examination, whoever is the chief examiner, then all the Jinshi candidates are his disciples. Such a large number of talents means a huge force.

Therefore, every time there was a joint examination, officials would compete for the position of chief examiner.

What's more, being the examiner also brings some secret income.

No one who has the ability to fight for the official position is willing to give up.

Suddenly, a small voice said, "I recommend Lord Xu as a co-examiner."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence in the room for a moment, and everyone looked at the person who made the recommendation.

The person who spoke was Lin Qing.

Xue Weiran couldn't help it: "The co-examiner needs to be responsible for sealing, copying, proofreading... these things, you let Lord Xu do it, with Lord Xu's cultural level..."

Xue Weiran didn't say the rest, everyone understood.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t recommend Mr. Xu, it’s just that Mr. Xu’s level is really not good enough.

Emperor Xuan could not help rubbing his forehead. Seeing that Xu Jinyu was copying books so badly that his arms and legs were missing, he was worried that after the imperial examination, Xu Jinyu would be beaten to death by the candidates taking part in the examination.

"Lin Qing, what are you thinking? Did your wife hit your head?" Emperor Xuan couldn't help asking.

During this period, Lin Qing was devoted to finding the person who informed his wife, and it was an indiscriminate attack.

"Your Majesty, I am not crazy. Think about it, the most troublesome thing in every imperial examination is cheating. With Lord Xu here, no one can escape Lord Xu's eyes. I guarantee that this special examination will be clean without any problem." Lin Qing's eyes sparkled.

hey~~

Emperor Xuan's eyes also lit up.

How could he forget this.

"This Xu Jinyu is the co-examiner, responsible for the inspection of this special examination."

The eunuch's raised voice finally woke Xu Jinyu up, and Xu Jinyu knelt down in a daze.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Emperor Xuan twitched his lips and said to the left prime minister with a smile: "I'm sure that little bastard doesn't even know what he's thanking for!"

The left prime minister moved his feet. Isn't that a confirmation?

Judging from Lord Xu’s confused look, he might not even know what a co-examiner is.

Sure enough, the next moment...

[What kind of official is a fellow examiner? I don't even want to be a director of the Ministry of Revenue, why are you adding more burdens to me? I don't want to make progress! I don't need to make progress. I am now a king of a different surname. Do you know what a king of a different surname is? ]

[As long as I don't rebel, I will be the number one person under the emperor, okay! ]

As a king of a different surname, wouldn't it be enough for her to just be a prince? If she couldn't resign from the position of Director of the Ministry of Revenue, she wouldn't even want to be the Director of the Ministry of Revenue.

Xu Jinyu got angry for a moment.

Even if she were asked to really tell Emperor Xuan that she didn't want to be this official, she wouldn't have the courage to do so.

Then I lowered my head and began to think about what the co-examiner was. After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out, so I could only ask the people around me.

"Zuo Yuanying, what is a co-examiner?"

Zuo Yuanying turned around and quickly introduced the duties of the co-examiner to Xu Jinyu, emphasizing that Xu Jinyu did not need to be responsible for copying and the like, but was only responsible for observing whether anyone was cheating.

After listening to Zuo Yuanying's introduction, Xu Jinyu's face flushed with excitement. As a person who follows the rules, what she loves most is to tear off other people's umbrellas, leaving them with no way to escape.

[Hahaha...Finally one day, I can be an invigilator. I have rich theoretical experience and will not let any cheater escape from under my nose! Hahaha...]

[It makes me happy just thinking about it. Hmm... Don't get too excited. Let me see what the inspection is going to do.]

Emperor Xuan: Xu Jinyu is too excited.

Wei An: Not excited at all! If he were to be the examiner, he would be so excited that he would blow the roof off the house.

[Ah, they check inside the mouth and ears, pinch the hair inch by inch, and even take off clothes for inspection. This is a bit too much! ]

Emperor Xuan: Not at all.

It is no exaggeration to say that passing the imperial examination is a step to heaven. In order to get this opportunity, these candidates will try every possible means.

At the beginning, there is no need to undress to check. Just pinch the outside to make sure there is nothing else stuck in the clothes.

But once after the imperial examination, a candidate got drunk and proudly said that he had copied a lot of things on the lining of his clothes and no one had noticed. Three generations of his family had passed the imperial examination in this way.

As expected, this candidate was reported.

From then on, all candidates were required to take off their clothes during the examination.

Although many people opposed it and said it was a disgrace to society, the search was still carried out forcefully in order to put an end to cheating in the imperial examinations.

[Ah, I think this kind of search is disrespectful. I think the search is too simple. There are people who hide things in their crotches.]

Crotch!

The Minister of Rites widened his eyes: How can you be so cruel?

During the search, clothes would be undone, but no one would pull up the candidate's pants to look. Unexpectedly, someone took advantage of this loophole to cheat.

I just don’t know if there are many people who do this. If so, then the imperial examinations held in recent years must have been a bit watered down.

【fine! fine! 】

Xu Jinyu patted his chest.

[So far, only one person has done this. It seems that not all candidates are so shameless. Only a minority of them are shameless.]

Emperor Xuan gritted his teeth and decided to add another item to the search this year: pull down the pants to check.

As for the candidates' objections, he pretended not to hear them and had the courage to not take part in this special examination.

[There are also some amazing people who write with sugar water. After drying, it is invisible, but after being roasted, it turns brown. This is a chemistry talent! ]
