Chapter 210
Time passed like a passing time, and in an instant it came to the first day of September in the first year of Kaihuang. Today is the day of the first imperial examination after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the daily topic of discussion among the people in the city is this imperial examination.

Celebrities and scholars gather together, literati and poets gather, there will inevitably be some romantic affairs, which will add a lot of talk to the people of Jinling, but the officials of the court and the central government still look serious, because His Majesty has not clearly stated how to deal with the rumors of cultivating immortals.

Outside the Jinling Division, scholars lined up to wait for the search and inspection. The search and inspection was carried out by Shi Hongyu, the commander of the imperial guards. .

On the second floor of a restaurant next to the examination room, Li Qing was leading Tian Boyuan to observe the grand occasion of the scientific examination below, which was even more grand than the college entrance examination in his previous life.

"Your Majesty, the rumors in the states and counties are getting more and more widespread. What is your majesty's second plan?" Tian Boyuan seemed a little anxious. Jin Yiwei had the duty to monitor the public opinion in the world. Now that the rumors are fermenting and causing a commotion, he is really under great pressure.

Li Qing sipped his tea and said with a light smile, "Isn't it just right, it's time to test the abilities of thousands of households in the Jinyiwei prefectures."

The words meant something, Tian Boyuan naturally heard it, and immediately lowered his head, it was Jin Yiwei's dereliction of duty that so many spies from Qin State sneaked into Daming to spread messages.

Although they arrested most of the spies afterwards, the messages had already been released, and even if all the spies were executed, it would not help. The reason why he was so impatient was because he wanted to make up for his mistakes.

"Okay, this matter is assisted by the real immortal, and the responsibility is not entirely on Jin Yiwei." Li Qing stood up and walked downstairs.

Tian Boyuan hurriedly asked, "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
"I'm going to take the scientific examination," Li Qing said with a blink of an eye.

"Ah" Tian Boyuan exclaimed.

Li Qing said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about safety. Is there any place in the world that is safer than the Jinling examination room?"

Then he walked towards the examination room. He had already prepared a false identity in advance, and the chief examiner Chen Qing also knew about it, so no one noticed when he entered the examination.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the examination room, there must be many good talents among them, how can I not go and see for myself"

He was talking to himself, and continued to walk forward. As soon as he got to the edge of the examination room, he saw a person with strange luck.

The evil spirit of blood surrounds a light blue natal luck. It stands to reason that the evil spirit will invade the natal luck and make this person suffer from bad luck, but the natal luck and the evil spirit are perfectly integrated together.

"strangeness"

Li Qing looked at the middle-aged Juren, with a goatee beating non-stop as he spoke. From his face, he was full of heaven, and he was destined for great wealth, but he always gave off a gloomy and cold temperament.

The man also noticed that Li Qing was paying attention, and turned around to look. The examiner was shocked at first when his eyes met, but then he was surprised again. He glanced at Li Qing with a half-smile, turned and walked into the examination room.

Li Qing's expression changed, he could see from the other person's eyes that the person must have discovered his identity, but he showed hostility again, and the matter became more and more confusing.

"There's something wrong with this guy"

It happened to arrange for someone to follow this person, and it happened to be his turn often, so I had to hold my mind down and walked into the examination room with the flow of people.

Anyway, this person is still in Jinling, so he can escape!

Looking at the test card, the yellow character No. 13 is located in an unbiased position, neither forward nor backward. From this position, most of the examination rooms can be observed. Paper, ink, pens and inkstones have been prepared on the test case, which is to prevent cheating.

After all the examiners were seated, a total of 12 people, including the chief examiner, the invigilator, and the same examiner, entered the arena, but at this time one of the examiners was wearing a Taoist costume and attracted the attention of countless examiners.

The sages were silent, but at this moment, a Taoist appeared in the examination room. His attire should be that of Qingyang Taoist Palace.

There was no surprise on Li Qing's face. This was specially arranged by him. Now is the era of Daoism's holiness. There are already simple Taoism spread in the market. Everyone is a gentry. It is very easy to obtain Taoism, which requires Taoism Legal supervision, not only Lu Yan, but also ghosts and gods around the examination room.

There is another important task for Lu Yan to appear in the examination room, which is to suppress the luck of the examinees. Those who can raise people's fame are extremely expensive, whether they are born or acquired. will affect others.

He instituted the imperial examination to obtain talent rather than luck, and the Ming Dynasty was growing in power, so it was no longer necessary to select people with great luck as officials to gain luck.

The examiner, Chen Qing, looked solemn, and sighed: "The people of the world think about peace, I really hope that more talents will be recruited this time, and help the Holy Lord to end the troubled times as soon as possible."

All the other officials were silent, only Yan Zhengyi replied: "Some people use childish means to spread rumors, which is really hateful, but they don't know the sage of our lord, so they break it with grandeur."

Chen Qing remained silent, he still hadn't understood His Majesty's meaning, so he said directly: "Open the book."

Officers and soldiers sent examination papers, and Lu Yan dismantled them in front of all the examinees. Afterwards, they had been distributed. After that, he nodded slightly and left the examination room, going to the next hut. '

A Dharma altar was set up in the house, on which the statue of the Emperor of the Underworld was enshrined, and a token was placed below, which was to use the power of the Emperor of the Underworld to suppress luck and maintain fairness in the examination room.

Li Qing received the test paper. Compared with the past, the test after Dao Fa manifested the sage was much simplified. It was divided into Mo Yi, Discourse, Policy Theory, plus an additional question, and a poem.

Mo Yi does not need to explain the meaning of the scriptures, but the test of memory and calligraphy. He only needs to complete the missing sages' scriptures; the discussion is to explain his own views based on the words of the sages.

Putting these two questions in general, these are meaningless to him, and turn to policy theory, which is to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Ming Dynasty and Daqin governance, not only requires the examinee to have the ability to govern, but also to know the policies of Qin State, which puts Some people who are dead books are excluded.

This question was written by him himself, mainly to see if there are other ideas among the thousands of scholars. Looking around the examination room, everyone is writing hard. Time in the examination room is precious, and everyone is racing against time to copy.

In the eyes of the sky, many people's pens are brilliant. This is the state of calligraphy that has reached the level of proficiency. Kao Zi's destiny and luck fully support his writing.

As time went by, most of the examinees wrote policy theory, looking around, the examination papers were full of gems, competing for beauty, and even many people were so talented that they could not suppress their divine power and luck, and a trace of greenness appeared from the examination papers. out.

One of the candidates named Hu Xingwen stood out from the crowd in the examination room. As soon as his policy theory became green, he soared to the sky, filling the room with a strange fragrance, and his literary fortune was suppressed when he approached the examination room.

Li Qing's eyes glowed, he suppressed the aura with a wave of his hand, and sighed in his heart, this is the test that he focused on, his luck and literary talent can be shown, it can be seen that the world is changing, and in the future, the imperial examinations must focus on precautions.

His gaze accidentally passed over Juzi next to Hu Xingwen. This person was the one who had looked at him outside the examination room. After scanning the test paper with his spiritual sense, he finally knew his name.

"Hong Wenmin"
