Chapter 186 A Sudden Surprise

Chapter 248 A Sudden Surprise

In the early morning, the sky is not yet bright.

But the entrance of the official department is already crowded with people, apart from the guards who maintain order and the examiners who preside over the examination, there are densely packed scholars.

It is summer now, although it is still early in the morning, but due to too many crowded people, the air is already suffocatingly hot.

There was a number plate on the outside of each exam. Chen Yi and the others were all from Qianzhou, so it was impossible for them to be arranged in the same exam room, so they separated one after another after arriving at the Ministry of Officials.

Chen Yi searched and found the examination room with his name written on it, so he stood at the door and waited like everyone else.

"hello!"

Chen Yi suddenly felt someone pat on the shoulder, and when he looked back, he realized that it was a scholar.

"This is Chen Yi." The scholar smiled gently.

Chen Yi looked at him suspiciously, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he asked with some uncertainty, "You...Your name is Lu Zhaolin, right?"

Lu Zhaolin smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to remember me."

Chen Yi pursed his lips, and thought to himself that you made such a big fuss two days ago, who can't remember you?

"I don't know what to do with me?" Chen Yi asked.

Lu Zhaolin asked: "Are you really a student of His Royal Highness King Qian, from Qianzhou?"

Chen Yi said indifferently: "That's right."

Boom!
Lu Zhaolin wanted to say something, but the sound of a gong suddenly sounded in front of him, attracting everyone's attention.

"I am the chief examiner of this scientific examination, and my name is Wang Shidan." A middle-aged man said loudly with a straight face.

Because one can enter the court as an official after being admitted to the Jinshi Department, this is equivalent to selecting officials for the court, which must be the responsibility of the Ministry of Officials.

The department in charge of scientific research is called the Department of Kao Gong.

The department of merit examination is in charge of the merits and demerits of civil and military officials, the examination of good and evil and their deeds.

If an official dies, the historian wants to write a biography for him, and he often discusses his posthumous title. If he wants to be inscribed on a stele, he will discuss with hundreds of officials about his deeds and report it, and then the kaogong doctor will inform his family.

Examiner Wailang is the deputy of the examination department, and the chief official is the examination doctor.

However, in order to show the importance of the scientific examination, during the scientific examination, the doctor of the scientific examination will generally act as the scientific examiner Uiro at the same time, responsible for presiding over the scientific examination.

The examiner presiding this year is Wang Shidan, who was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan.

Because the examiners are not randomly selected, but have been screened layer by layer. Not only must they be well-educated, but they must also have good character, and there must be no phenomenon of partiality.

After Wang Shidan saw that all the candidates were standing according to their positions, he nodded and ordered, "Let's start."

As his words fell, the examiners outside each examination room waved their hands, and the guards guarding the door opened the door to let all the scholars in.

The scholars found their seats according to their seat numbers, and after checking the information, they began to study ink and prepare for the exam.

After everyone entered the examination room, Wang Shidan said again: "The examination is about to begin!"

Boom boom boom!
As soon as his words fell, hundreds of guards surrounded the entire examination room from outside, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission.

Until noon, Wang Shidan looked up at the sky, nodded again and said, "Distribute the test papers!"

Following his order, dozens of soldiers walked into the examination room with thick examination papers.

Seeing those soldiers, the candidates couldn't help but tense up.

Because those thin sheets of paper determine their future fate.

If it succeeds, it will definitely be a great success in the future. If it fails... then there will be nothing, and even face blows.

Chen Yi sat in his seat, holding his hands tightly, feeling his heart pounding.

After taking a few deep breaths, he began to study ink seriously, while trying to calm down his heart.

This scientific examination is very important.

He was originally an ordinary scholar, not even a scholar. If Li Chengqian hadn't used his privileges to change their identities and make them become scholars, it would be difficult for them to come to Chang'an to take the scientific examination in their lifetime.

Originally, they were supposed to pass the Fajie Examination and be selected as scholars before they could take the Jinshi Examination.

"Fajie Test" is subdivided into two levels, which are respectively responsible for the county and state levels.

Among them, the county magistrate presides over the examination, and those who pass the examination will be issued a certificate by the county, and then they can take the state examination.

At the state level, Si Gong joins the army to preside over the examination, which is usually held in August and September, also known as "Qiu Wei".

In order to prevent miscellaneous salted fish from going to Chang'an to take the exam, the imperial court once issued a decree, that is, if any state or county official recommends candidates to take the scientific examination casually, if they are found out, the officials and the candidates will be severely punished.

This time, in order for Chen Yi and the others to go to Chang'an to take the scientific examination, Li Chengqian omitted other examinations and directly made them scholars.

Therefore, the biggest pressure on Chen Yi and the others was that they were afraid that if they did not do well in the exam and were accused by someone with a heart, something would happen, and maybe the teacher would be implicated in the end.

"Relax, relax!"

Chen Yi took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

In the end, he was horrified to find that his head was like a paste at the moment, and he had forgotten all the four books and five classics.

Soon, the soldiers distributed the test papers to each examinee. Chen Yi picked up the test paper and looked at it, but his eyes widened involuntarily.

Because he suddenly discovered that this topic seemed familiar.

"How could this be..." Chen Yiqing couldn't help exclaiming.

"Huh? Quiet!" the examiner frowned and shouted.

Chen Yi closed his mouth and grabbed the exam paper with both hands, but he couldn't help but tremble.

It's exactly the same!
Not only the topics, but even the order, are exactly the same!
Except that there were a few more questions in the test paper given by Li Chengqian at the end, everything else was the same.

Not only Chen Yi, but also the other eleven people were all stunned when they got the exam papers and saw the questions.

After a brief moment of astonishment, came surprise.

For them, these questions are almost as if they are engraved in their bones. Even without thinking, they can quickly write the answers.

Without a moment's hesitation, after adjusting their emotions, they began to write quickly.

...

And while they were answering the questions, they were in another room next to the examination room.

Examiner Wailang Wang Shidan was standing in front of a person, reporting the situation respectfully, "Master Fang, this is the roster for this scientific examination, please have a look."

Fang Xuanling took it over, flipped through it casually, and sighed softly: "Oh, most of them are from aristocratic families. This time, it will be difficult for the humble scholars to get ahead."

"Ok?"

When he turned to the last two pages, he suddenly froze.

"The disciple of King Qian..."

Fang Xuanling looked at Wang Shidan in surprise, "Are they all from Qianzhou?"

Wang Shidan nodded, "It has been checked, and it is indeed from Qianzhou."

Fang Xuanling looked at the names on it, and murmured: "The twelve from Qianzhou, did they come prepared, or did they just make up for it?"

In the past, there were no more than 46 Jinshi admitted in the scientific examination, but this year's situation is special. Before Li Shimin killed too many officials, the number of scientific examinations could not fill the vacancies, so this year the number was specially increased to [-]...
