During the trial, facing these ten concise questions, many candidates wrote slowly, as if they were holding not half a pound of pen holder but a thick iron plate weighing thousands of pounds. The forehead had already oozed with dense beads of sweat, as if they were about to flow down freely.

Outside the window, the capital was filled with cherry blossoms and green willows, and warmth was heard. Only when I looked at the test paper, I felt a cool feeling, as if countless claws were scratching my heart, making people restless. How could there be such a question?

The text on the paper is actually quite simple. As long as you understand the ink, you will never be unable to understand the meaning of the question. However, when you want to answer the question with your pen, you find that every question is not so easy to answer.

The first question is arithmetic: the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage. Each chicken has one head and two feet, and each rabbit has one head and four feet. There are several chickens in a certain cage, with eighteen rabbits and fifty feet. Let’s ask how many chickens and rabbits are?

The second question is geography: the world has five continents and four oceans. Please list them one by one. If you answer correctly, you will be the complete match.

The third topic is history: Ancient books say that there are many different countries in the Western Regions, including black and green food and green food and food. What country is it?

The fourth question is the meaning: if an iron piece is placed on the water, it will sink. However, the ship built with iron can float on the water and move forward resolutely without feeling overturned. Why?

The fifth question is Chinese:

The sixth topic is politics:

...

There were ten questions, some people shook their heads and could not wait to hand in the paper just after a quarter of an hour. It was said that it was so simple that it could not be simple. Some people scratched their ears and faces, and sat in the examination room for an hour without any details. It was called the Heavenly Book. They even angrily scolded, "Where is this a question that people did?"

There is only one hour left for candidates to answer the qualification examination, but the information and significance revealed by this paper have been shocked for decades. He completely announced the abolition of the Four Books and Five Classics. Although he still opens Chinese subjects to obtain scholars, if you are a master and great scholar, if you cannot pass the qualification examination, you will never be destined to be in the court.

The Empire Daily reported on the content of the qualification examination on a significant front page. In contrast, there was also a criminal gang arrested more than a dozen criminal gangs who pretended to be someone else and sold false test questions. After the four words "corrupt group" became the word of the year for the first year of the Restoration, the four words "criminal gang" also became the word that appeared more frequently in the second year of the Restoration.

In the Palace of Peaceful Hearts, Lin Guangyu and Tang Shaoyi almost burst into laughter at the various interesting stories that emerged during the qualification examination - who said that Chinese people lack a sense of humor? The results obtained in this test questions are diverse and have covered all the entertainment essentials.

Taking the same cage as an example, some candidates not only did not calculate the geometry of chickens and rabbits in their answers, but instead used large texts to prove that chickens and rabbits could never be in the same cage, or argued that the people who tested the same cage as chickens and rabbits were not right. In the geography test questions, some people simply brought up the legendary name of "Journey to the West". The five continents said: East Sheng Shenzhou, South Shanbu Continent..., and the four oceans said: East Sea, South Sea, West Sea...

The most surprising thing is the shocking white papers. Except for the candidates' names and hometowns, nothing else is left. Tang Shaoyi found that almost all of them came from candidates studying in Japan.

Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, overseas study has gradually become a fashion. As the fashion tide begins, it is naturally inevitable that there will be mixed up with fish and dragons and sand. In recent years, the most loopholes in studying in Japan have been the most loopholes. Many Chinese students rely on their wealth, so they are just for gilding and returning to China, and have not learned any real skills. However, the Japanese are well aware of the Chinese people's psychology. Now they have devoted their preferences to opening a large number of schools to recruit Chinese students, and even only recruit Chinese students. Under the surging economic wave, they have absorbed the money of batches of Chinese students.

When these playboys were studying in Japan, they either hang out with several friends day and night, flirt with Japanese women, or waving flags and shouting with revolutionaries, and they were also hard at all? In some quick-school schools, Chinese students can even get a graduation certificate in just half a year. The Japanese side, regardless of whether the person passed the exam or whether the person attended the class, just hurriedly sent the Chinese students back to China after receiving a large amount of tuition fees with a smile - and then recruited another group of dumb geese.

In such qualification examinations, the candidates who submitted the blank papers were not those who took the test as an official or as an imperial examination, but were precisely those pseudo-international students who studied in Japan, claiming to study any major, and have any diplomas but cannot even understand the most basic Chinese language. Because although the former did not know how to answer, they could understand the questions after all, and could be linked to them. Those pseudo-elites who claimed to have returned from studying abroad actually couldn't even understand the text on the papers. What if they didn't submit the blank papers?

Tang Shaoyi shook his head with a wry smile. He remembered the scenes and hardships he had when he studied in the United States as a child. Compared with these young people today, he really felt indescribable bitterness. Fortunately, those students studying in Europe and the United States were quite successful. Except for a few who could not answer, almost all of them had been answered correctly, and almost all those who could answer were answered correctly.

He once again accepted the emperor's vision and insight in his heart - "In the future, students should focus on studying in Europe and the United States, especially those who study in the United States and Germany, and students who study in the United Kingdom should pay special attention to it, while students who study in Japan must pay attention to the identification."

What a deafening word this is?

The official department headed by Tang Shaoyi originally thought it would take a long time to review the papers, but at a glance, the whole process was much easier than they thought:

Those who have less than six questions will be cut off!

Those who take the exam as a study abroad but do not answer in foreign languages ​​will be cut off!

Those who have already missed five questions, cut them off!

After making drastic moves, nearly two candidates passed the exam, which is a shocking number. What's even more shocking is the statistics on related questions.

After all the time, it was the first chicken and rabbit to answer the most correctly in the same cage. Lin Guangyu couldn't figure it out

These candidates are so good at arithmetic? Later I realized that many answers were not calculated but tried one by one. The numbers were not big, just focus on them. Naturally, the answers could be drawn - this is really a ridiculous result.

Lin Guangyu secretly swore in his heart that he would have to take the exam of 1 to 100 cumulative sum next time, which would be considered a death for these stupid pigs.

Although Tang Shaoyi maintained calmness, it can be seen that this calmness comes at the cost of making. As an old international student with high self-esteem, he was dissatisfied with the current academic style and the pedantic people. He raised his hands 100% of the test questions Lin Guangyu was in. If he had to say that he was dissatisfied with anything, then some test questions were still too easy to get.

Therefore, although the official department received some unwillingness to accept the candidate's complaints, Tang Shaoyi was unmoved. He only said one sentence: "How can the national talent ceremony be so despised?"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

After the Spring Festival, as the weather gets warmer day by day, Longyu's belly grows day by day. According to Xi Po's calculations, the first day of March should be the day when the queen is about to give birth. Although it is normal to deviate slightly from one or two days according to the general situation. But it has been more than four days today. Not to mention that Lin Guangyu can't hold back, even Du Zhongjun and other imperial physicians felt it was particularly difficult.

According to the rules passed down in the palace earlier, such a situation would be to become a shaman. However, Lin Guangyu was not interested in this suit and did not want to make trouble under his nose. He still trusted the imperial physician team led by Du Zhongjun.

The pressure and burden immediately hit Du Zhongjun's shoulder. Although he was very favored by the No. 1 medical expert in Yuqiantou, the responsibilities he shouldered were extraordinary. Long Yunian was only 40 years old and the difficulty can be imagined. Over the past year, the imperial physician team led by him has not stopped corresponding diagnosis and treatment and observation. This result is still there. Even if he is as skilled in medicine, he can't help but hesitate and feel a little uneasy.

"Du Zhongjun, how is the Queen's body?" Lin Guangyu put down the document on the qualification examination report and focused on exploring Long Yudi's condition.

"Emperor...me...me...me..." Du Zhongjun was like the panic and uneasy behind Lin Guangyu when he was struck by lightning that day. His body trembled slightly. Although his language was barely calm, the anxiety and fear behind him could not be concealed no matter how he could.

"There is no one here except you and me. Let me tell you, what's going on?" Lin Guangyu knew that something big was not good. Du Zhongjun was not a person who could hide his worries. If he could make things difficult for him like this, it would definitely be a great thing and a great worry.

"The Queen's Master is likely... maybe..."

"What is possible?" Lin Guangyu asked tightly.

"Maybe difficult to give birth..."

"Ah!" As if he had suffered a heavy blow, Lin Guangyu felt confused and could not speak for a long time.

“And…and…”

"what else?"

"There are other possibilities... possible"

“What is it?”

Deadly silence.

"What is it?" Lin Guangyu raised his voice.

Still no answer.

"What exactly is it?" the emperor roared like an angry hero.

"Back to the emperor, it may be a stillbirth!" Lin Guangyu was stunned when the words "still-born" were expressed, and Du Zhongjun also crawled on the ground and did not dare to look up.

Lin Guangyu knew in his heart that Du Zhongjun was famous for his integrity, otherwise he would not have mentioned the Four Days Theory at that time. Now these two words are spoken from him, which shows that there is a great possibility, but it lies in him, like a bolt from the blue, speechless for a while.

"How could it be? How could it be?" the emperor murmured to himself, and then as if he suddenly came back to his senses, he said furiously, "Since the queen is pregnant, I have asked you to serve you carefully. This is how you serve you in the past ten months? To this day, are you treating me?"

"The emperor calms down, calms down. After I found out that the queen is pregnant, I worked hard day and night, fearing that I would not take good care of it. However, the queen's first child is too old. I have thought I would do my best to protect her. Now that the delivery is delayed, I do not want to see her, but I dare not hide the truth."

"So what if you know the truth?"

"It is normal that the date of delivery is not more than 7 days. If it exceeds 7 days, I may have a life + if it is not the fetus, I am afraid that I will have to...please ask for an order."

"Please give me an imperial edict?" Lin Guangyu thought he had not heard it clearly, so he asked, "What are you asking me for? Do you even need me to give me an imperial edict to cure diseases and save people?"

"Make the big or the small?" Du Zhongjun paused word by word, as if a thousand pounds of burden was pressed on him. They spoke very slowly, but they were very determined, almost in unquestionable tone.

"Should the big one or the small one?" Lin Guangyu had heard of similar choices before. He always thought that it was just a possible test question, a test question used to test the strength of human nature. He never expected that one day such a question would fall on him.

He was helpless, confused, afraid, uneasy... but in the end he was anxious.

"Both must be protected! Du Zhongjun, if you dare to hurt any of them, I want your head!" He shouted in an almost ventilated tone. Then, the emperor's head inevitably drooped and fell into death-like contemplation. On such occasions, he did not deal with the difficulties he faced as an emperor, but as a husband and a father.

A choice, on the left, is a living little life, nurturing hope and expectation; a choice, on the right, is also a living life, a queen who has accompanied him for more than a year, has known and known. Whether to love or not is a question, but responsibility cannot be avoided or escaped. In the face of responsibility, Lin Guangyu is first a man, and secondly the emperor.
