Chapter 336: Half The Number Of Successful Candidates Than In Previous Years? Zhu Yuanzhang Was Shoc
Chapter 336: The number of successful candidates is half less than in previous years? Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked!
Ministry of Rites.
Yang Qianzhi, Yu Qian and other imperial examination examiners from the Ministry of Rites gathered together.
"How should I explain this result to the superiors?"
"How else can I explain it? I can only explain it truthfully."
"Perhaps the emperor will spare the lives of my whole family, but only me."
The faces of these people were earthy.
Terrified.
Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites who was patrolling, heard the sound and stepped into the room, "Why are you so worried?"
"Lord Shangshu!!"
"Sir Ren!!!"
Yang Qianzhi and others exclaimed.
They did not expect that Ren Ang would appear at this time, which was really beyond their expectation.
"What's the matter?"
Ren Ang's eyes fell on the paper in Yang Qianzhi's hand.
Before Yang Qianzhi could speak, Yu Qian took the paper from Yang Qianzhi's hand and handed it to Ren Ang with both hands.
"Lord Ren."
"This is the statistical result of the rural examination."
"Um?"
Ren Ang raised his eyebrows and said, "The results are already out? Why so fast?"
He said, reached out to take the paper, and looked down.
It doesn't matter if you don't see it.
Upon seeing it, Ren Ang's pupils shrank suddenly.
XX....
"There are only more than 500 candidates who have passed the exam?!"
"Are you sure there are no statistical errors?"
Ren Ang's voice couldn't help but become a little sharp.
The imperial examination matter is of great importance.
Even the emperor was watching.
If something happens.
But it will cost you your head.
Losing one's own head is considered a good thing, but what I fear most is being killed by the Zhulian Nine Clan.
"We've confirmed that multiple times."
"There are really only about five hundred people."
Yang Qianzhi rubbed his throbbing temples and said with a headache.
They've counted it multiple times.
However, the result is still the same.
This shows that in this Qiuwei examination, only more than 500 people really passed the examination.
Ren Ang looked ugly.
In previous years, there were usually more than a thousand people to be elected.
But this time there are only more than 500 people.
In other words, it’s twice as much!
This also means that the number of imperial examination talents that the imperial court can select will be half less than in previous years.
If Zhu Yuanzhang knew this, he would definitely be furious.
He, the Minister of Rites, might also be involved.
"Master Shangshu, what should we do?"
"If you don't handle it well at this time, you will lose your head."
"I still have a wife and children. What should I do if something happens to me?"
"I don't want to die, wuwu."
Some people were timid and started crying directly.
They all know Zhu Yuanzhang's character.
If you don't do your job well, you'll be killed!
Those who are corrupt should be killed!
Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!
Kill those with overwhelming power!
In short, anyone Zhu Yuanzhang disliked would be beheaded.
Zhu Yuanzhang's main motto is to rather kill the wrong person than let him go.
Ren Ang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
The stakes are high.
How to solve it?
He felt a chill on his neck, as if the blade had already fallen on his neck, and he was just a hair away from falling to the ground.
Pacing back and forth.
Ren Ang paused.
"It is certain that this matter cannot be kept secret from the Emperor for too long."
"And if we hide it from the Emperor."
"If you know something, don't report it."
"The emperor became angry."
"Our entire etiquette department will suffer."
"Then what exactly are we going to do?"
Yu Qian and others asked uneasily.
Ren Ang gritted his teeth.
"The only way to survive now is to report it to the emperor!"
"Throw yourself to death and live again!"
"The emperor has great favor and trust in Ye Xuan."
"Whether we can escape this time depends on the emperor's attitude towards Ye Xuan."
"Before this matter falls into the ears of the emperor through others, I will go to the palace immediately!"
Ren Ang rode directly into the palace in a sedan chair and reported the incident to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Royal study room.
Ren Ang bowed his head and reported the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang with a guilty conscience.
"Your Majesty, this is the list of candidates who have passed the examination."
"More than five hundred people in total.
"More than five hundred people!!?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears.
"This autumn, only more than 500 candidates passed the examination?!"
"Yes, Yazheng."
Ren Ang hunched over and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves, feeling flustered.
Will he be beheaded?
Or will he be beheaded?
All he had in mind was the word "behead".
"Why are so few people successful this time?"
"Didn't we ask Ye Xuan to lower the difficulty of the exam questions?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and his tone was very unpleasant.
He killed more officials.
The court is short of officials.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty's national power is getting stronger and there are many colonies, so the demand for officials is even greater.
The result was like this.
The number of successful candidates was half less than in previous years.
Is this still possible?
Zhu Yuanzhang did not jump up and scold him, which was already a favor to Ye Xuan.
"*......"
Ren Ang, the Minister of Rites, hesitated.
Ye Xuan asked the question how difficult it was.
It’s notoriously difficult.
Ask him to lower the difficulty of the test questions?
In Ye Xuan's opinion, the questions he asked were all very easy.
According to Ye Xuan: Even a pig can know these questions.
Moreover, Ye Xuan has tried his best to reduce the difficulty of the test questions.
Ye Xuan was also the examiner of the imperial examination.
Although Ren Ang was Ye Xuan's boss in the Ministry of Rites, Ye Xuan was a popular figure in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. To be honest, Ren Ang did not dare to say anything more.
"Bring me the exam papers for this session."
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the chamberlain next to him.
"yes."
Waiter go down.
Then he returned quickly and presented the provincial examination papers to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the examination paper and looked at it carefully.
When I see the first question
He frowned slightly.
Then he continued to look down. 543
The following normal questions made his frown relax a little, but not completely.
These test questions are indeed difficult.
But it's normal.
It was rare that Ye Xuan didn't act as randomly as before.
Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the strange, abstract and difficult test questions that Ye Xuan had given before, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
To be honest, Ye Xuan has already restrained himself a lot from the questions in this provincial examination.
If the questions are given as Ye Xuan did before.
The questions in this provincial examination will probably be even more bizarre and abstract. Words such as oracle bone inscriptions, or things that are not words, will be sorted out by Ye.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression kept changing.
Because the questions Ye Xuan asked are relatively serious.
This made it difficult for him to decide.
Do you want to recognize the results of this provincial examination?
But if it is admitted, it means that the number of people to be elected this time will be half that of the previous ones.
If they don't admit it, are they going to have to take the exam again?
Zhu Yuanzhang was very confused at this moment.
How should it be done?
Ren Ang secretly watched Zhu Yuanzhang's changing expression, but did not dare to interrupt Zhu Yuanzhang's meditation.
He feels like a hundred claws scratching his heart now.
It's like waiting for the death's sickle to fall, feeling uneasy.
How will the emperor deal with this matter this time?
Can you save your head?
Can the lives of my whole family be saved?
disturbed.

Rational mind.
fear.
Fear.
All kinds of complicated emotions filled Ren Ang's heart. .
