The imperial examination is a triennial national talent selection ceremony. Because the Queen Mother's Holy Birthday and special enrollment, the rules are the same as those of the regular examination, and they are also extremely strict. Since the sages established the imperial examination system, no one has been able to cheat in the imperial examination.

All candidates need to go through the supernatural search, confirm their identity, and confirm that they are not entrained, so they will be allowed to enter. Ye Xingyuan was open-minded and did not care, but what he carried still surprised the inspectors.

"Why do you have to bring a knife and a pair of boots when you come for the exam?" The exam was puzzled. These things were not within the prohibition range. In fact, because the exam took a long time than the provincial exam, in addition to allowing the four treasures of quilts, food, and study, candidates are also allowed to carry some small toys as long as there is no suspicion of cheating.

Ye Xingyuan said casually: "Before writing, take a knife and place it aside, which will give you a killing spirit, and the article will be more sharp. As for the boots, it is because after sitting for a long time, the soles of the feet are swollen, so you have to change to softer shoes. This is the guidance of the seniors in the imperial examination field. "

There is still such a saying? The newcomer was also a newcomer who had no experience. He was stunned by Ye Xingyuan and waved his hand to let go. He learned to be a good person and secretly wrote it down, thinking that his children and nephews in his family should take the exam. Later, he passed it through ten thousand and hundreds of people. It became a routine to wear a knife and boots in the imperial examination room, and it was also a good start. This is a later story, so I will not mention it again.

Ye Xing passed the dragon gate and found the examination room with his name under the guidance of the inspection. Shi Shiran sat down, and still burned hot water to make tea first, calmly.

The examination room for the imperial examination is naturally much more comfortable and spacious than the test. There is a couch and a table in the shed, and a toilet bucket and a charcoal stove are placed in the corner. There is about three or four feet of open space. If you are tired, you can rest on the couch or pace in the shed.

A high platform was built in the center of the examination room. Ye Xingyuan could see the three main examiners sitting upright on the stage, looking at the four directions. At this time, the secret of heaven was falling and falling on these three people. In the sunlight, the white rainbow turned into a sunny spirit, which made people feel disappointed.

Ye Xingyuan knew that the three main test examiners should be all Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. He was in Beijing for several months and the emperor encountered several encounters. However, he had never seen these adults and had no idea of ​​their appearance. He could only speculate that the old man should be Yan Bingzhang, the chief assistant of the court, the Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall.

The eldest son of the Chief Minister is over 70 years old, and he is also the oldest and most experienced in the cabinet. His hair and beard are completely white. It is best to identify it.

I don’t know which of the other two are the six Grand Secretarys. Before the examination, the identity of the chief examiner was kept confidential so that no one would go. Ye Xingyuan had never met any Grand Secretary and did not recognize him.

In fact, they choose talents on behalf of Tianji. Although their personal likes and dislikes will have some impact on the final result, there is actually not much difference. Ye Xingyuan didn't mind. No matter which major scholars came to be the chief examiner, they would not have any good feelings for him, a lucky person. So they were too lazy to guess the other party's identity.

The emperor had already made Ye Xingyuan clear. He knew that today was just doing his best to see how deep he had to understand the secrets of heaven. The memorial test was the best verification.

Thousands of students gathered together and sat down, silently. Those who could take the imperial examination were already selected by one in a thousand, and their quality was not comparable to those of the next-level imperial examination candidates, and they were not subject to human control. Naturally, the rules were strict.

At the beginning of the third hour of the Chen hour, the three examiners stood up together and bowed to the sky. They heard the melodious ancient bell ringing, and the sky changed, and the test questions were already issued. Ye Xingyuan felt the sky was spinning and he was thrown into a illusion.

"Listen to his words, observe his actions, write his own articles, and make a statement with behavior." Ye Xingyuan knew that this was the rule of the imperial examination, and was not surprised.

The provincial test policy theory is the beginning of deducing the illusion, and the test uses the power of heaven and earth to simply go from the formal examination to the submission of the paper. The candidates are always in the illusion, and use their own virtues and talents to write an article or a policy theory.

The test questions are hidden but not revealed, and the candidates must explore and experience them in the illusion. Ye Xingyuan knew that he had enough time and was not in a hurry. He stood up and looked at the bronze mirror indoors and checked himself.

With the left sword and the right sword, there are pairs of tickling beast leather boots under his feet. Ye Xingyuan's current appearance is more like a ranger. The sword is General Pei's sword, and the sword is the universe's sword. As Mrs. Li said, the treasure of the Five Virtues is a weapon of merit and can also be manifested in the illusion. In addition, the universe's sword, which has been hiding in Ye Xingyuan's sea of ​​consciousness, seems to be a step ahead of the other candidates in combat power.

However, personal force had little impact on the examination. Ye Xingyuan was just in case. He calmed down and pushed open the door and walked out.

"Young Master, why did you get up so early today?" A young maid in green was guarding the door. When he saw Ye Xingyuan coming out, he hurriedly came forward to serve him. Ye Xingyuan knew that this maid should be the person asking for information, and smiled and nodded, asking carefully.

Sure enough, this maid said everything. Ye Xingyuan probably knew the environment he was in and couldn't help but smile bitterly. I don't know if it was because the knowledgeable man had sensed the crisis now, or whether the Tianji himself was giving omens. This time the test question was another chaotic world.

The topic of the provincial examination was the experience of the late Daqian Dynasty. The refugees rose and subverted the country's destiny. This was barely considered a normal change of dynasty. However, the topic of the examination this time was even more tragic.

This is a bloody and tears story of the human race a thousand five hundred years ago. In the late Southern Jin Dynasty, the tyrant rulers were in power, and the beacons were played with the princes, and the world was in chaos. The demon race took advantage of the situation and the strange soldiers emerged, captured the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty and cut off its country. The lord of the Southern Jin race plundered the demon race for the demon race, poured wine to entertain the demon king in green clothes and princesses, and all the concubines and princesses were raped, which was a great humiliation in the history of the human race.

Although in the next twenty years, people of lofty ideals rose up, sweeping away the demon atmosphere, setting things right, destroying the demon clan's court in one fell swoop, chasing the death to the north, almost killing the demon clan without sparks, and there was no sound in a thousand years, this past cannot be revealed after all.

Ye Xingyuan's identity in this exam was a rich child from the Southern Jin Dynasty. His parents died and his family had wealth. He had already passed the imperial examination and was also a Juren. He could have enjoyed wealth and happiness, and he could have drunkenness today. But at this time, there were only three years left before the Southern Jin Dynasty destroyed the country.

Want to turn the tide again? Ye Xingyuan had already done such a job in the provincial examination, but although the situation in the world was difficult, it was not as serious as it was at this time. Moreover, he had the status of a county magistrate at the beginning, and there were also helps with refugees, and there was always a goal.

Now he has to start from scratch? To resist the invasion of the demon clan in three years? Isn’t this too difficult? Ye Xingyuan carefully evaluated. With the experience of the last time, he became more and more calm and composed in this exam, and carefully considered his strategy.

First of all, this kind of dynasty must be based on integrity. This is probably the source of the big article. As long as you can be loyal to the country and serve the country with one's death, the intention of this article should not be wrong. I think most of the scholars will not make mistakes in this article.

The important policy part that opens up the gap is still an important part of the policy. It depends on whether people can delay or even reverse the tragic ending. If they can do the best, they can get the highest evaluation.

But this is different from the provincial test, one small deduction fantasy. The test is that all the testers are put into the same deduction fantasy. At this time, thousands of people enter it. If they work together, they may achieve great things, but they will inevitably have intrigue and pull each other back. This is more like the real world.

Even in the late Southern Jin Dynasty, when the human race was at its worst, there were many heroes in the Central Plains, and even stars were brilliant, which was even more than in peaceful times. However, they fought on their own and fought in constant internal struggle, which gave the demon race an opportunity to take advantage of.

Now that these thousands of candidates are added, I wonder what kind of evolution will be?

This time, there was no time to let Ye Xingyuan make a plan slowly. The current situation was like a river breaking a dam and it was out of control. The heroic soldiers of the demon clan were displayed outside the pass. Once the troops were sent, they would be destroyed and whipped and cut off the flow.

At this time, it seems that bravery is more useful. If you can win several key local battles in a difficult situation, you may be able to reverse the trend. Scholars seem to be useless here, and they seem to be able to play the role of "usually talking about their hearts and minds, and repaying the king in the face of difficulties"?

Most people may have to make such unwilling choices when they come to this situation, but Ye Xingyuan is a little unwilling.

"I heard that the demon clan Chen soldiers are outside the three passes and are preparing to attack the Central Plains in large quantities!" Ye Xingyuan walked on the street, and there were panic discussions.

Some people said it vividly, "Those monsters are two feet tall, with green faces and fangs, riding monsters of all colors, with infinite strength, and copper heads and iron arms. Our human race is just flesh and blood, how can we resist it? I'm afraid this time it will be in danger!"

Someone retorted: "At first of all, there are no million soldiers in monsters? It is barren outside the pass, and monsters do not do production, and they make a living by eating blood. It is an exception. If there were really millions, Liaodong would have been a piece of white land!

Secondly, although they have magical techniques, our army in the Celestial Dynasty is protected by saints and has the magical powers of military arts. The generals of the three passes are all capable of conquering generals who are good at fighting and proficient in military arts. How could they lose to him easily? Don’t panic!”

The man was blushed and argued with a strong voice: "So what if you have 100,000? The demon cavalry is less than ten thousand, and it is invincible. Do you know how powerful the demon cavalry charge is? The general of the Three Passes is just appeased and afraid of damaging his troops. He cannot fight to the death. How can he defeat these monsters like wolves and tigers?"

The first one may not be reasonable. It is purely a boastful word from the demon clan. Later, the man wanted to refute it, but the second point made him speechless. Today, the emperor loses his morality, civil servants are greedy for money, military officers are afraid of death, and only want to preserve their strength. Who is willing to fight for the country?

Even the people in the city felt that even if the monsters came, their lives might not be more difficult than they are now. However, they did not know that when the alien races were in power, they were the real dynasty.

Ye Xingyuan was facing this kind of moraleless situation. Even if the gods came here, they were afraid they could not find out how to start. (To be continued.)
