The locked hospital several days ago, three days before the start of the exam, Chen Li invited Wang Xijue and Lin Yanchao to the Ministry of Rites to discuss the examination matters.

In the General Office of the Ministry of Rites.

The rest of the officials were all shut down, with only three officials who presided over the Ministry of Rites Examination.

Wang Xijue was in the middle of the seat, and Lin Yanchao sat on the left and right.

Wang Xijue is a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and an Deputy Prime Minister, while Chen Li is a Minister of Rites and a Second-rank official. Although Lin Yanchao is a Hanlin Bachelor, if he had not been the chief examiner of the examination, Lin Yanchao would not be qualified to be on par with the two on weekdays.

Chen Li said, "According to last year's procedures, there were 17 examiners with the examination, including 11 Hanlin officials, three Kedao people, and three from six ministries."

"There are five rooms in the Book of Changes, three rooms in the Book of Changes, five rooms in the Book of Songs, two rooms in the Spring and Autumn Period, and two rooms in the Book of Rites."

"The examiner is under forty years old, and the officials of the Sixth Department of the Department of Science and Technology are between the fifth and seventh ranks. As for the Hanlin examiners, they are talking about the following. Is the current subject according to the past years? What do the two presidents think?"

Wang Xijue said: "This cabinet department believes that candidates for the same examiner should be more cautious and select from Hanlin Beijing officials, first discuss subjects, then conduct, and then knowledge, and measure them in order."

Chen Li nodded and said, "What the president said is exactly the same as the saint's intention of recommending wise men. Those who observe are not virtuous, and those who use them are not virtuous. This is a few days ago when the Ministry of Rites drafted a list of examiners with the examinations, and the two presidents have also asked them to read it."

Wang Xijue and Lin Yanchao have watched it one after another.

Lin Yanchao looked at the list of Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe, Xiao Liangyou, etc., and Gu Xiancheng. You should know that the examiners of the Imperial Examination usually choose the following officials.

In other words, if Lin Yanchao stayed in Beijing and became a fellow examiner three years ago, he would still be able to become a fellow examiner, but this year he became a post-bachelor, in addition to being qualified to be the chief examiner, and then being ranked alongside these "seniors" with the same examiner, it would seem disagreeable.

Since all the people who were to be selected were on the list, Lin Yanchao acquiesced to the list in his heart, but he did not speak, but looked at Wang Xijue.

Wang Xijue frowned slightly at the list and immediately pointed out the two of them. One said he was too old, and the other said he was usually impetuous and was not suitable for being a fellow examiner.

Chen Li crossed out the names of the two people from the list as he spoke, and then mentioned the other two.

Wang Xijue agreed to one person, and ignored the other person, and asked Lin Yanchao: "Sir Lin, what is the candidate in his heart?"

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that both big bosses have their favorite candidates. If he proposed another person, he would not offend both of them at the same time, he should not do this.

Lin Yanchao said at the moment: "The officials in Beijing have been in a short time, and they don't know much of their colleagues on weekdays. How cautious is the candidate for the examiner? The officials dare not speak nonsense, and follow the instructions of the two adults."

Chen Li smiled and said, "Mr. Lin is too cautious."

Wang Xijue is welcome and said another official name directly.

Wang Xijue named this person, and Chen Li no longer insisted on the original candidate and wrote this person on the list.

Then Chen Li said again: "There are many scholars in the Book of Changes in the current subject, and the Book of Books as the original subject are much more than in previous years. Is this official's meaning that one room is reduced from the other rooms and divided into these two rooms?"

After Chen Li finished speaking, Lin Yanchao felt his heart moving. He was a great master of the Shangshu. From his selfish thoughts, of course, I hope there are more examinees in the Shangshu Room, and there will be more candidates for the Shangshu that are recommended to the Shangshu.
