Chapter 360: Release of the List

"Lord, I found it." In the examination room, officials had already begun the final selection and comparison of the examination papers. Li Ru came over with a dossier and quietly handed it to Lu Bu.

"How?" Lu Bu asked.

After all, Liu Xie is rarely interested in participating in the imperial examination. If the gap is not too big, he should be on the list.

Li Ru shook his head and said, "Master, you'd better see for yourself."

Lu Bu looked at him, said nothing, and opened the file directly. After reading for a while, Lu Bu put down the file and looked at Li Ru: "Your Majesty... his writing style is still good, but he lacks some experience..."

"What my lord said is true, but if this dossier is included in the list, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince people." Li Ru said helplessly.

"I will handle this matter." Lu Bu put the file away and hid it, looked at Li Ru and said: "The day of releasing the results is coming soon. This is the first imperial examination. We must set an example for the world!"

"Here!" Li Ru nodded. Since Lu Bu, the hot potato of Liu Xie, has been dealt with, there are no other problems.

In a full month, more than 1,500 people each had a maximum of nine examination papers, which were reviewed by every official involved in the review. It was necessary to ensure that no one was missed, and any articles with some highlights would be sent to Lu Bu had eight people in his hands, so out of the fifteen hundred, eight hundred were on the list.

However, the judgment after being listed is much harsher.

Most of the more than 800 people can hold official positions, but if they want to hold important positions, they need the approval of at least two examiners.

Every approved dossier will be marked with the reasons for approval, and the reasons for disapproval will also be marked with the reasons for disapproval. It must be convinced by the majority of people.

Under such strict screening, it is not too difficult to get on the list. What is difficult is to obtain the approval of these examiners.

Needless to say, these examiners Lu Bu, Cai Yong, and Yang Biao are all recognized for their ability. Most things under his rule were handled by him. Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Guo Jia were all famous wise men under Lu Bu. Except for Jia Xu, who felt that he relied on flattery and had no great talent, the abilities of the other two were also the same. Not bad.

Guo Jia was the most outstanding person in the last major exam.

"Lord, it's finally done!" Jia Xu put down the last examination paper in his hand and stretched himself fiercely. At this moment, his city felt a sense of joy of rebirth after a disaster.

From now on, I will be sick every time I take the imperial examination. I don’t know how I survived this month and a half.

One and a half months have come to an end with everyone's busy work. Not to mention Jia Xu, who doesn't work much on weekdays, even Xun You, who has been working continuously in this examination room for more than a month, still feels like he is... It may collapse at any time.

Not to mention Jia Xu, it feels like all ten years of work have been done.

Lu Bu looked at him, a little funny. Although he was tired, he had gained weight.

"Walking more, activating the Qi and blood is also good for the body." Lu Bu did not discuss the exam question, but Jia Xu's Qi and blood were a bit deficient.

Although the treatment in this examination room is not bad, you basically have to sit down every day. Not to mention Jia Xu, every one of them present is intact, and they are somewhat deficient in energy and blood.

Jia Xu stood up. Although he would get up and move like this every day, like now, it was as if something heavy had been thrown away from his soul. The experience of an illusion of soul sublimation was something Jia Xu had never experienced in his life. of.

It feels like people are floating.

"Gongda." Jia Xu couldn't count on what would happen next, so Lu Bu could only turn his attention to the most reliable person in Chang'an.

"Lord." Xun You looked at Lu Bu.

"The preliminary examination has ended, and the next matter of releasing the results will be left to Gongda." Lu Bu said with a smile.

Xun You had already been mentally prepared. Except for Li Ru, none of Lu Bu's men could resist, especially Jia Xu and Guo Jia. It was not easy to get them to come here to participate in reading the examination papers. As for the release of the results, That would involve classifying the candidates and then starting to release the results. Xun You estimated that it would take at least three days. It was impossible to count on these two people.

"Don't worry, my lord, you will definitely take care of it." Xun You nodded to Lu Bu and took over the matter.

Lu Bu nodded, looked at the others and said, "You have also been tired these days. After finishing, we have prepared a banquet to celebrate this imperial examination!"

"Thank you, Lieutenant!" The officials quickly bowed to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't say anything more.

The next step is to release the results. The rules have been set before, and now the candidates are ranked according to the rules.

Three days later, a three-foot-long roll of white silk was hung in front of the examination room. Xun You looked at the candidates gathered in front of the examination room and said loudly: "There are nine questions in this scientific examination. If each question is approved by the examiner, you will be qualified." To enter the list, one point will be awarded for each question, which is also the lowest point. The maximum point for entering the list is nine points. In addition, one point can be added once each question is approved by two examiners. There are eight examiners in total for this scientific examination. That is to say, you can get up to five points in one question, and the maximum is 45 points. Anyone who is on the list can enter the re-examination. At the same time, as long as those who are on the list are willing to stay in office, they can serve as county clerks, thieves, petty officials, or enter In the army, he served as general, counselor, etc."

There are 800 people on the list alone this time, but among these 800 people, there are 697 people in this range from one to five, and most of them are on the list for several papers. I only got points, but there are very few who get high scores on one paper. Those who can get three to five points on one paper are experts in a certain direction. This is what the second round of reexamination will select. expert.

A group of candidates quickly looked at it according to their own situation. In fact, most people were mentally prepared for which range they were in.

In the crowd, Xun You was a little speechless when he saw Liu Xie frantically searching for someone in his thirties or forties. Dian Wei had already told him about Liu Xie, and he had also read Liu Xie's articles... How should I put it, Liu Xie In fact, he received quite a lot of education, from great Confucian professors such as Ma Rixi, and his foundation was very solid. If only his literary talents were considered, Liu Xie might really be in this range.

But the problem is that Lu Bu's selection of talents in the imperial examination was not for the ability in poetry and poetry, but for practical management talents. The only thing Liu Xie had a chance of being on the list was the question about calculating military rations, but he was rejected. The calculation was wrong. Although there is no standard answer, this kind of question has a certain range. The entry point is correct, but Liu Xie did not calculate the consumption along the way, and directly missed the most important link. The given The result is naturally very different from the approximate range.

Xun You could only pretend that he had not seen Liu Xie.

"94, forty-four o'clock." Xu Shu looked at Pang Tong beside him and smiled: "Congratulations Shiyuan, for ranking first."

"Same joy." Pang Tong pointed to the list and said: "Yuan Zhi ranked third with 42 points. It's a pity."

Forty-two points means that three papers did not give full marks. This result is somewhat regrettable. Xu Shu looked at the list and smiled: "But I don't know who this 888 is?"

Forty-three points, only a little worse than Pang Tong, sandwiched between Xu Shu and Pang Tong, really impressive.

Pang Tong looked at the number plate in the hand of the young man in Confucian shirt next to him, smiled and saluted: "I am Pang Tong of Xiangyang, what do you call me brother?"

The young man bowed and said, "Sima Yi from Wen County has met Brother Pang. Brother Pang is very capable."

Pang Tong smiled and shook his head and said, "This is just a first test, it doesn't count as my ability."

People have made it very obvious that you can become an official after passing the first test, but basically you will be a county official or something like that. It is hard to say whether you will have the chance to be promoted to a county magistrate in this life. As the first person in the first test, this result will not matter after entering the retest. It doesn't count, but in terms of ability, at least in terms of theoretical ability, they are the top among this group of people.

Didn't you see that the disciples trained by Chang'an Academy only hovered in the range of more than 30 points or even more than 20 points?

With their talents, they naturally don't want to be just county officials. Even if they can't be given high-ranking officials at once, they must at least be county magistrates.

"Brother Pang is humble." Sima Yi smiled. He originally thought that he was the top one, but he was snatched away from him. However, he has always been calm and would not show hostility because of this. As for whether he is really better than himself, he just This doesn't mean much.

It's a pity that Sima Fu, who came with him, seems to be looking within a dozen or so points. It's impossible for Wuming to be there, but he obviously didn't perform well.

The three of them chatted here. After all, at least from this first trial, they were considered to be the top group and they had some common topics.

On the other side, Noriman rubbed his nose, looked at Hua An and said, "What time is it?"

"Thirteen, what about you?" Hua An pointed at his name and asked.

"Hey, I'm better than you, I'm fourteen!" Noriman suddenly became happy.

Hua An said disdainfully: "Just a little more."

"One point means two examiners. It seems like one point, but in fact it is thousands of miles away." Dianman said proudly. As a cultural member of the Dian family, he felt that he could already bring glory to his ancestors.

"Maybe it's just one more paper that was handed over." Xu Yun, who followed Zhang Hu to look at the list, glanced at Dian Wei and said disdainfully.

"You talk too much, how much does Zhang Hu have to do?" Noriman glared at her and asked.

"Thirty-five." Xu Yun said proudly, as if she had obtained this point.

"I thought I was forty." Hua An was a little sad. They were studying and playing together, how could the gap be so big?

Xu Yun said disdainfully: "Do you want to know how old Lingqi is?"

"Lingqi also participated? How could I not know?" Noriman and Hua An said in shock.

"That's Lu Wen." Xu Yun said excitedly: "She wanted to see what she was capable of. She didn't tell anyone, so she came and got her number plate."

"Would the Lieutenant hit someone if he knew it?"

"No way, the captain loves my sister. Besides, it's not a bad thing." Xu Yun felt somewhat guilty.

"Say as much as you can." Noriman said impatiently.

"Thirty-nine, just shy of entering the first class. Among us, only Gao Yi seems to have entered the first class, exactly forty." Xu Yun said proudly.

In fact, it is not too surprising for Dianman and Hua An that Lu Lingqi is so high. After all, they are usually good. They all went to the Battle of Nanyang, but Lu Lingqi was the only one who made great achievements. Gao Yi is even higher than Lu Lingqi. The two of them were a little bit incredulous, why should he?
