The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 836
(The second chapter is the anti-theft chapter, you don't have to wait!)

On February [-]th, the sun rises.

The inside and outside of the Gongyuan in the capital city has been closely guarded by the army at this moment, because the test will be held here.

There are a total of more than 2000 candidates who came to Beijing to participate in the examination, and they are entering the Gongyuan one after another at this moment.

In order to prevent cheating, the detailed inspection rules for entering the examination room, it takes at least 3 minutes for each person to enter the venue.

In order to improve efficiency, a total of [-] soldiers were dedicated to body searches, and they were all drawn from the imperial guards.

In addition to them, the newly established Jinyiwei also sent dozens of people over to be responsible for inspection inspections.

"This posture is really different from the past!" A senior exclaimed.

Looking at his age in his 40s, he naturally has rich experience in the exam.

Then someone joked: "Those who know it say it's a tribute courtyard, but those who don't know think it's a military camp!"

Everyone around suddenly laughed, and the air was full of joy.

To be honest, everyone is very nervous before the exam, so it is necessary to adjust their mood in this way.

And at the front, it was Wang Xin and others' turn to search, and they lived together in the same inn.

"Take it easy..." Chen Hongqing couldn't help complaining.

Although his family is not a wealthy family, but they came here from a young age, and they were treated so rudely.

But Wang Xin, who was being searched beside him, had an extremely calm face, and he was recalling what he had thought before.

A few minutes later, the body search of them and his party was over, and everyone walked into the Gongyuan.

Entering the gate, each person will receive a note with the seat number written on it.

There was a small official at the entrance, who shouted loudly to everyone: "At the second gate, there are rules for participating in the test, you have to read it..."

In fact, he didn't need to say much, a lot of people were crowded at the second gate, reading the so-called examination rules.

"Exam time, three hours!"

"It's only three hours, what should I do?"

The biggest change in the rules is the exam time, which has been changed from the original two and a half days to three hours, which is almost the same as the palace exam.

Hearing the discussion of the people in front, Chen Hongqing couldn't help but said: "This...how is this enough!"

But Wang Xin said calmly: "The emperor's question must be extraordinary!"

"Brother Wang Xian is so kind!" Yang An chased after him.

Wang Xin only smiled, and together with the others, checked the detailed rules about the exam.

After reading it, everyone followed the notes in their hands and rushed to their respective examination rooms.

At the time of parting, I only heard Yang An say: "I hope you will see the sun behind the clouds and leap into the dragon's gate!"

"To encourage each other..."

"mutual encouragement!"

When everyone parted, in the imperial city at the other end, Chen Ji'an, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, was walking towards the palace gate holding an iron box in both hands.

Inside the iron box, there are exam questions, so a copper lock is put on, and the key is in the hands of the accompanying eunuch.

In addition to the two accompanying eunuchs, Jin Yiwei also sent two hundred households to accompany them, and when they left Da'anmen, there were fifty guards accompanying them.

When Chen Ji'an and his entourage arrived at the Gongyuan, most of the candidates had already entered the arena, and there was still half an hour before they could all enter the arena.

After entering the Gongyuan, some sharp-eyed people recognized Chen Ji'an.

This is the No. [-] scholar in previous studies. Most of the people who came to take the examination today have taken the previous examination, so they naturally recognize this celebrity.

"This majesty who persuaded you to join the emperor has the merits of being a dragon... now he can be regarded as a rising star!"

"Why not? Otherwise, today, there would be no chance for him to submit questions!"

"Alas... Tai'an was 22 years old, and I still took the exam with him, but now he has become an examiner, but I am still taking the exam here!"

While everyone was discussing, Chen Ji'an had already entered the main hall of the Gong Yuan.

The chief examiner, Pan Qifeng, Minister of Rites, led the other four deputy chief examiners and ten examiners to welcome him out.

The examination questions were issued by the emperor, so they are naturally equivalent to the imperial decree, so they will naturally come out and wait for them.

"The minister waits to inquire about Shengan!"

Seeing the crowd kneeling in front of him, Chen Ji'an was extremely proud.

Ever since he was the first to participate in persuasion that day, Chen Ji'an has been out of control and has gone further and further on the road of "fascinating", which is not in line with his noble background.

"Saint Boon!" Chen Ji'an said loudly.

After everyone got up, Chen Ji'an handed the iron box to Pan Qifeng.

"Master Pan, the exam questions have arrived, please check and accept them!"

In front of all the examiners, as well as the editorial supervisor and Jin Yiwei, Pan Qifeng took over the heavy box.

The box was locked, and it was still sealed and covered with wax, so naturally it had not been opened.

"Intact!"

After saying this, seeing that other people had no objections, Pan Qifeng held the box and walked slowly into the lobby, and finally put the box on the big case.

Time passed one after another, and soon it was noon, and it was time for the exam to start.

"Open the box!" Pan Qifeng said in a deep voice.

The two eunuchs immediately stepped forward, took out the key and opened the lock, and then lifted the seal on the box.

Immediately Pan Qifeng opened the box himself, and there was a bright yellow excitement inside, with the words "examination questions" written on it.

Picking up the envelope, Pan Qifeng opened it in front of everyone, and he was also curious about the content of the test questions.

"The content of the test question..."

Hearing this, several chief and deputy examiners picked up their pens, and placed a sign in front of them. They would write the test questions on it, and then ordered someone to hold the sign and show it to the candidates.

"Examination question content: try to talk about the great disadvantages of the country!"

"Requirements for answering questions: more than a thousand words in composition, concise and clear, with no restrictions on genre and format!"

After reading the exam questions, everyone present was dumbfounded.

It’s fine if the exam questions are not drawn from the sages’ books, and the answer rules are changed in a mess, everyone feels as uncomfortable as eating shit.

It was Chen Ji'an who spoke first: "Your Majesty's formulation of the title is really unique and extraordinary!"

Although I was unhappy in my heart, it was a sacred order after all, and the examiners could only copy it honestly.

Soon, more than [-] signs were transcribed, and then soldiers entered the lobby, holding signs and rushing to their respective areas.

The long-awaited came out, the scientific examination finally started, and the candidates were all excited, and it was time for them to show what they had learned.

But when they actually saw the questions, the examiners were as dumbfounded as the examiners.

"This...what's the matter?"

"There's never been a test like this before, it's really... really messed up!"

When everyone was discussing, the soldiers watching outside were not used to them.

"Be quiet, or you will be expelled from the examination room!"

The soldiers looked serious, and it could be seen that they were serious. Anyone who dared to make a noise would be thrown out.

Most people frowned, but a few people didn't take it seriously. These people were all alert and able to deal with this sudden change.

And there are some other people who are already happy at this moment, just because they have prepared in advance.

"Brother Wang Xian, you are really amazing. If I don't go to high school this time, I will have no face to see you again!" Chen Hongqing said with emotion.

On the other side, Wang Xin frowned deeply.

Although the questions were not bad from what he had imagined, it was difficult to grasp the appropriateness of the answers.

The officials had conflicts with the emperor, and if they answered too well, it would be difficult for the chief examiner, who had to wait until the palace examination if he wanted to appear before others.

Looking at the topic, Wang Xin pondered for half an hour before picking up the pen and starting to write.

After half an hour, everyone accepted the impact of the topic, regardless of whether they had profound insights or not, they all began to write at this moment.

To be honest, it is really difficult for these people who only read sage books to analyze problems from the perspective of the world.

"Your Majesty's move is too foolish!" Pan Qifeng couldn't help complaining.

He has already made up his mind that if there is a student who "talks nonsense", he will definitely let him retreat.
