: There is a sea of ​​people in front of Gongyuan!

Gongyuan is the examination room for the provincial examination, that is, the place where subjects are taught and scholars are awarded.

People from all over the country came here to take the exam, as if they were offering their famous property to the emperor, so it was called Gongyuan!

Today, in front of Gongyuan, there are huge crowds of people and it is very lively. They are all candidates who came to take the provincial examination. It is very similar to the college entrance examination in the previous life.

Some people are calm, chatting and laughing,

Some people's faces turned pale and frightened,

There have been three great joys in life since I was born. When I was named on the gold list, I ranked first.

Just think about the significance of scientific examination to people,

Han Chuang has been reading hard for a long time, just to get on the list, which is the way to become an official, the way to honor the ancestors...

"Looking at Brother Liu's proud look, he must be confident,"

"Where, where, Brother Zhao's literary reputation spreads throughout Laizhou, he will definitely be on the list,"

"Usually I'm pretty sure, but this time it's different. The scientific examination system has been restructured, and the content of the test has also been emphasized. Poetry, which I am best at, has been banned!"

"Who says it's not the case? Isn't this nonsense?"

"In my opinion, it's a good thing. The original multiple subjects are now combined into six subjects. The difficulty has been reduced, and clear calculation accounts for a large proportion. My clear calculation happens to be my strong point."

The candidates saw each other talking to each other. At this moment, there was an uproar among the crowd.

I saw a young man walking by, and everyone on both sides gave way.

This man is wearing a white shirt, with his hands behind his back. He has a graceful demeanor, a handsome face, and sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His name is Liu Yunyi.

The reason why there was such a big commotion was that he was from the Northern Xinjiang Province and was the son of Liu Zhang, the governor of the province and the Yi Qinghou!

"With his status, he also came to take part in the imperial examination?"

"Yes, he has the status of a young marquis,"

"I heard that he came here specially because Wang Kang was appointed as the chief officer..."

"Hey, don't you think that's the talented man from Xuanwu City, Ye Zhibai?"

"I heard that this son is outstanding in literary talent and strategy. He has already served in the governor's office of Xishan Province and is highly valued by Marquis Xuanping. Why did he come to take the provincial examination?"

"You still don't know, this is also because of Wang Kang,"

"Ah, is it because of Wang Kang again?"

"I heard that Zhang Xianxian, the daughter of Marquis Xuanping, is not involved with Wang Kang, and Ye Zhibai is very fond of Zhang Xianxian..."

"I see!"

Wenzhou Jieyuan,

Cangzhou Jieyuan,

In Zhao State, literary talents from all over the provinces and states came here to visit!

At this moment, there was another uproar, and an eight-year-old child was seen arriving at Gongyuan, with a middle-aged man beside him.

Judging from his behavior, this man should be the father of children.

"Is this the child prodigy of Jinxi County, Fang Zhongyong?"

"That's him. This son is a branch of the Fang family of Kyoto nobles in Jinxi County. When he was five years old, he showed his talent in poetry, articles, and essays, and he could write poems at will."

"But I heard that his father loved to show off and took Fang Zhongyong everywhere to compose poems and earn money from others."

"The Fang family has taken this son back and focused on training him. This child is a child prodigy,"

Fang Zhongyong focused all eyes on him, but he was a bit vindictive. He pulled the corner of his father's clothes and said,

But his father yelled, "Give me a good test. If you don't do well, we will go back to Jinxi County to farm!"

"yes,"

Of course, there are many talented and famous people who are resentful. Even if they come here to take part in the imperial examination, they still carry resentment and anger...

Because after taking part in the imperial examination, at least in name, they were regarded as Wang Kang's disciples.

This is a customary practice!

There were also many people who nodded and looked at each other secretly. They were arranged by Shen Yuanchong or were bribed.

They are all in the same examination room,

The purpose is to cheat...to write the same answer without any brain.

The same thing happened three years ago again,

First, the original main topic became a supplementary topic, and then such an accident happened.

The imperial examination was completely ruined.

But what about those who didn’t cheat? You can’t invalidate all the results.

If such a large-scale scientific expedition is organized again, what will happen?

Isn't it a joke?

At that time, Shen Yuanchong will stand up and righteously place all the responsibilities on Wang Kang.

It has been suppressed for a long time, and this rebound will be even worse!

Wang Kang will be directly thrown into the abyss, and no one can protect him. At that time, Shen Yuanchong will personally report to Emperor Zhao, maintain the original results, and plead for the life of all candidates!

This way he can truly gain both fame and fortune!

And there are some sons of nobles who have never heard of any literary names or talents, but they are confident!

Because they have been notified in advance that someone will send them the answers during the scientific examination.

Without exception, these people are all descendants of aristocratic circles. Their family backgrounds are not really aristocratic, they are all dependents.

But these people are the fresh blood of the established nobles. Through this way, they can enter officialdom and maintain factions...

There is so much involved, so much...

There is a lot of people talking, everyone has their own thoughts,

Today happens to be the beginning of autumn, and the weather starts to get cooler.

The sky is also gloomy,

During the commotion, groups of soldiers came out of Gongyuan and stood around.

"Quiet, quiet!"

"Prepare all identification documents, election documents, etc., line up in four teams, and enter the venue in advance!"

"No noise, no clutter, no noise. Anyone who doesn't follow the rules will be disqualified from the provincial examination!"

Shouts sounded in the surrounding area, and seeing the solemn faces,

Under this kind of battle,

Many candidates put away their smiles and queued up consciously.

They all noticed that this year's imperial examination seemed to be a little different. For a moment, the uproar disappeared and the whole place was silent.

No matter what thoughts I had before, I subconsciously tightened it!

The imperial examination begins!

Candidates entered the Gongyuan one after another. Someone was strictly searching the body at the gate of the Gongyuan to prevent the candidates from being caught!

The entrainment is a cheat sheet and an outline. If found, it will be sent directly to the Xing Department for strict handling.

While this is going on,

In the classroom inside Gongyuan, the distribution of test questions is about to begin.

Wang Kang, Fang Xiaolian, Yan Liqun, Ji Ning, and Zuo Xiang Lin Xiangru also put aside everything and rushed over.

Of course Shen Yuanchong is also among them,

Ji Ning said: "The candidates have already entered the venue one after another, I think it's time to prepare to hand out the test questions,"

"Wang Kang's proposal is quite good,"

Lin Xiangru praised: "All the test questions are sealed before the exam and will only be opened the moment before the exam starts. This is a very clever way to prevent fraud."

"Right,"

At this time, Bai Bo said casually: "Where is Qiao Xin? When we left this morning, we didn't see him."

The three Hanlin bachelors will all serve as invigilators for the imperial examination!

"I've been too busy these days, so I asked him to rest,"

Wang Kang said again: "Then let's distribute the test questions according to the original plan,"

The test questions have been carefully transported this morning, because they have been classified and sealed in advance, so you only need to follow the marks and distribute them to the invigilators.

"Then get ready to start,"

Shen Yuanchong summoned someone and ordered: "Go and arrange for the distribution of the test questions marked with a line. That is the main question of the exam."

"yes!"
Chapter completed!
