Do test scores count?

Du Shaoqing did not answer clearly, but asked his apprentices a question: "If you are the question-setting people and know that the test questions have been leaked a few days before the exam starts, how will they deal with it to keep this scientific test effective?"

Han Yueming blurted out and said: "Of course, one of them caught one, and all those who sold test questions outside were arrested to plug the loopholes."

Chang Baicao next to him reminded: "It is said that this is what the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple do a few days ago, and they almost caught our scalper.

According to me, we should not only focus on selling test questions, but also on buying test questions.

Didn’t the master often say that there would be no killing without a deal. The same thing is, if these people weren’t rushing to buy the answer, those vendors wouldn’t be able to sell even if they wanted to.

Of course, it is not because of selling things, but because they are candidates. If you buy the answers and then take the exam, it is a cheating person. Cheaters should be caught."

Cui Hao patted Chang Baicao on the shoulder and praised: "It's not bad, the fourth junior brother, has made great progress. This ring is very well-informed. In the past, you always say that you are the worst in your knowledge, so you won't believe such nonsense in the future."

Chang Baicao smiled and touched the back of his head, "I also analyzed this way in the top student's home that day.

I didn’t know that this thing was the original question, but later I saw the same question in the exam room, so I kind of complained about those who bought the answers, as if they were messing up the exam.”

Du Shaoqing looked at Cui Hao with a smile and asked, "What do you think I will use?"

Cui Hao said in his heart: "The second and fourth brothers told me how to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. As long as it affects the balance of this imperial examination, it will not solve the harm of leaking questions.

Of course, these people need to be arrested, and that is the government’s business.

As the question setter, the easiest and most direct way is to re-design the questions on the spot. As long as you re-produce a different test paper, all problems will not be a problem.

If it were in those years before, it was difficult to engrave and print the engravings and printing, and now it is time to rush to print the new test questions overnight, three days should be enough."

"Yes, why didn't we expect that it would be enough to re-design the question?" Han Yueming and Chang Baicao said in unison.

Cui Hao continued: "But the question that I can't understand is why did the master actually change the next half of the test questions? Wouldn't this still be unfair?"

"I know, I know..." Xiao Xuanxuan stood behind Yu Shinan and shouted with her hands raised.

Cui Hao's eyes lit up, "Young junior sister actually guessed it? Tell me quickly, senior brother, I have been thinking about this since I got off the exam room."

Xiao Xuanxuan giggled and said, "It's very simple. Daddy is called doing the opposite. It's better to lose it than to block it. Anyway, the secret has been leaked, and it's impossible to block people. It's better to use the trick.

Leave a portion of the leaked original questions and let those who bought the answers to the test questions answer accordingly, so that we can immediately recognize that they bought the answers.

If you don’t concentrate on taking the scientific exam, you want to cheat and take a small path. Such people are not good at morality. Just draw a little duck egg for them and don’t let them be officials!”

Xiao Xuanxuan said vividly, and the brothers heard it all the time. Cui Hao patted his forehead and regretted, "Oh, why did I forget this? Yes, it's still the little junior sister who is smart.

Master, do you think so?"

Du Shaoqing laughed and rubbed his daughter's little head, and asked in a low voice: "When did our little princess become so smart? Did you really think of this yourself?"

Of course it was me...

Xiao Xuanxuan glanced at Di Renjie with her eyes, gave the other party a wink, and then said coquettishly: "Dad, how can you say that? He is the cutest and smartest little princess in Chang'an City. This question is all a little bit..."

Du Shaoqing pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is that so? Did my father misunderstand his baby daughter?

Huaiying, your junior brothers and sisters all expressed their thoughts. What did you think? If it were you, how would you deal with it?"

Di Renjie smiled bitterly and scratched his head, "Master, they have finished talking, disciple..."

Du Shaoqing burst into laughter, knocked on the little head of his daughter beside him and said, "You girl, you don't like to use your brain, and you dare to take the idea of ​​your senior brother. Look, you have taken other people's paths and left others with no way out.

It's really time to fight!"

Xiao Xuanxuan blushed and hid aside and defended: "Dad, it's not that I don't like to use my brain. I thought about it for a long time in the exam room, but I just couldn't figure it out."

Everyone laughed. This little girl was like everyone's pistachio, and she was laughing wherever she was.

When Du Shaoqing was taking the exam for the school, a group of complainants were also asking the emperor in the Palace Political Consultative Hall.

"Your Majesty, it has never happened before that. Today, I was given a precedent. Please ask Your Majesty to punish those who leaked the secrets..." The first person to cry was not the censor, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Even the time was accurate so that Li Daozong had just entered the palace and the imperial examination had just ended, the group of people rushed in.

Li Er turned his head and looked at Changsun Wuji, and asked with a heavy face: "Auxiliary Machine, you are the chief examiner, what do you think about this?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister has dereliction of duty. As the chief examiner of the imperial examination, any problems in the imperial examination are unavoidable. Please punish him severely!" Changsun Wuji immediately admitted his mistake.

Li Er waved his hand and said, "What I want is to solve the problem and talk about the serious matter!"

After Changsun Wuji's Xuli, he finally revealed the pros and cons. "Before the scientific examination, we found that someone sold test questions to be fake and real, and found the source by tracing the vendors. At that time, I didn't know that it was a leaked real question, so I didn't go into it in depth..."

"I remember that His Majesty said he had compared it at that time..." An official from the Ministry of Rites recalled that before he finished speaking, his colleagues next to him pulled his sleeves and refused to say it. Isn't this intention to reveal His Majesty's shortcomings?

Li Er had a good temper and pretended that he didn't hear it, but asked: "Then let's talk about your inference. Who is selling the test questions? Can you find the source of the test questions by finding the source, and then you find the leaker?"

this……

Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment.

"What? Is the other party too big, and you, the prime minister, dare not say anything?" The emperor laughed in silence.

"According to the verification, the person behind the selling of test questions was Cui Dunli, the Minister of Personnel. As for where Mr. Cui got the test questions and why he sold them, I don't know.

After all, I thought they were just selling fakes for profit, so I didn’t go into it in depth.” Changsun Wuji said.

After thinking for a long time, he still kept the matter of Du Shaoqing. It was not that he was very merciful, but that the old fox was very clear and his identity was sensitive. If he was the one who mentioned Du Shaoqing, it would definitely make people think that the two of them had a personal grudge against each other.

When it comes to Cui Dunli, the old fox has no pressure at all. One is that Cui Dunli has indeed committed a crime, and the other is that the emperor has already obtained the evidence, and Cui Dunli has designated it to finish it.

"How is this possible? Mr. Cui has not participated in any scientific examinations, so where did he get the test questions? Why did he leak the secret?" Many people expressed their disbelief.

Li Er winked at the eunuch beside him, and the latter stood up and said loudly: "It is verified that a clerk in the Ministry of Works Printing Factory leaked the secret to Cui Dunli, the Minister of Personnel.

A few days ago, His Majesty summoned Mr. Cui, and he confessed to it.

Given that Mr. Cui has been working for the country for many years, His Majesty is cherishing his talents and nostalgia, he ordered him to go home and stay home and think about his mistakes and wait for his defeat."

What??? Why, why don’t we even know about such a thing?

At this time, Li Daozong, the Minister of Justice, seized the point and stood up and asked: "So, did Your Majesty know about the leak of the test questions a few days ago?"

Li Er smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, I knew it at that time. Someone else made a statement that it was a test question leaked by the prince-in-law Du Shaoqing, because one of his subordinates was also selling this test question."

After saying this, everyone looked at Changsun Wuji. His eyes were very obvious. Why didn’t you say this news? Could it be that your two families have reconciled? Have you concealed the crime for him?

Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "The Du family was assassinated by bandits and almost died but was not taken to court, so we can't speculate."

"So, in addition to the leaked secrets of the Minister of Personnel, Du's Concubine is also very suspicious? Your Majesty, I beg you to ask Du's Concubine." A censor said sternly.

Li Er waved his hand and said, "No need. As the question setter, Du Shaoqing would not use such a low-end method if he wanted to leak the secrets and disrupt the imperial examination. Unless he was desperate, do you think he would be so stupid?"

"But leaking is a fact, and the prince-consort must have an explanation." The people of the Ministry of Rites refused to follow.

Li Daozong, the Minister of Justice, stood up and said, "It's all targeting Du Shaoqing like this. Have you forgotten that since Your Majesty had known about leaking the secrets, why did you still use the leaked test questions to test students from all over the country?

I found out the leak in advance, wouldn’t it be enough to just change the exam questions?"

Ga! Everyone was silent, right? Everyone just wanted to let Du Shaoqing come out and take the blame, and they forgot to consider this detail.

Li Er smiled and said, "My cousin has been in charge of Xing Prison for many years, and he has revealed the key points in one sentence.

That’s right, this is my and Shaoqing’s plan in advance. The purpose of the scientific examination is to select talents. In fact, what situations and what test questions are used are not the most important. As long as the purpose of selecting useful talents can be achieved.

What do you think?"

Wang Siye, the Imperial College Supervisor, stood up and said: "Although nowadays, there will be some talents who are responsible for studying the classics, the main purpose is to help and select talents in governing the country. What Your Majesty said is good."

"It takes a lot of money to set the questions once, but it was leaked that it was three days before the exam started. If you want to make the questions again, there will inevitably be omissions.

It is better to be loose than to have a way of blocking. Since there are candidates outside who want to take shortcuts, then open the door to convenience and let them open it to buy test questions and memorize the answers.

In terms of character, these people are all mediocre people who like to take advantage of small gains.

I didn’t want them when I chose the talent in Datang, so I sent this leaked answer to the reviewing officials. Which candidate’s answer was the same as the answer, and immediately sentenced to violations and the examination qualification for the next three years was cancelled."

This, this...

Everyone couldn't help but gasp. This method... is too cruel. Who thought it out? Isn't this a scam? Apart from those genius candidates who are arrogant and arrogant, how many of them can withstand this test?

For a moment, Du Shaoqing's harmless face appeared in front of everyone. At the same time, the court officials in the hall shivered, and the prince-consort was still so imaginative.

Kong Yingda, the Imperial College Priest, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this method can eliminate candidates with misconduct, which is originally excellent.

But in this case, if too many candidates fail to be elected, what should we do if there are gaps in various places in the Tang Dynasty this year? Our territory population has increased significantly in the past two years, and there is a huge lack of local backbone officials in governance.

The old minister said something that should not be said. At this time, if there are those candidates who are greedy for a little advantage, they can use it as long as they are very different. After all, governing the country is the first priority."

Li Er touched his hands and agreed: "Look, Kong Aiqing is really a mature country.

This is true, and I think so, so I also gave an order. If some candidates can see that they have purchased the answers, they know the solution to answer the questions. Such candidates are also talents and can be used."

"It seems that although there is a storm in this scientific examination, at least the examination will not be in vain, and it will not delay the selection and employment of talents in the court. It even takes a different approach, Your Majesty's wiseness!"

What a guy, these people can easily change their minds with the wind, and they start to surrender in a blink of an eye.

Invigilator Wang Siye worriedly: "Your Majesty, if everyone answers the questions according to the answer, then we have enough people to use, but how can we distinguish the quality? How can we decide the best talents that stand out this year?"

By this time, Changsun Wuji had already seen and figured it out. No wonder the emperor wanted to play this double act with Du Shaoqing. Du Shaoqing's fresh test paper was only changed to the second half, so that's it.

So he explained to the emperor: "I have seen the test questions and also seen the leaked answers. There is no leaked secret in the second half of this year's test questions. This should be the way Du Fuma Du selected the top scorer, and used half of the advanced questions to distinguish top talents.

I have to say that Du Fuma Du presided over the imperial examination this time, which was really unexpected and innovative!”

Li Er turned to the eunuch, and asked, "By the way, didn't I ask you to send someone to summon Shaoqing, this guy? The imperial examination is over and there is still a matter of marking the papers. How could he take a break?"

Lao Gao whispered a little embarrassedly to Li Er and whispered for a while. Li Er was dug on the spot. After a long time, he laughed and scolded, "This lazy boy, I can't even invite me, so I should be punished!"

He cursed his son-in-law, but he didn't know how happy he was. Everyone understood it. The emperor was so spoiled by this son-in-law.

After sending out these court officials, Li Er took the eunuch, Gao, and quietly came to Du Shaoqing's home with a light and simple trip.
