On the first day of the first month of March, the Wenju Examination and the Wuju Examination officially began.

The Wenju exam is held in Taixue three times in three days.

The martial arts examination is conducted around the area around the Shouyang Mountain Lecture Hall and Luoyang, and the Wei military camp will also be requisitioned if necessary for the examination.

In order to cope with the large number of students taking the exam, Taixue was closed in late February.

Vacant classrooms, lecture halls, etc., were converted into examination venues, and seats were rearranged, tables and chairs were added, examination equipment was added, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and the like were added.

After all, the number of people in the classroom lecture hall is relatively small, and it is good luck to be able to enter it for the exam.

The Ministry of Rites has temporarily built a number house in various open spaces in Taixue, and built a simple seat that can be used for candidates' answer sheets, which is convenient for sheltering from the wind and rain, which is the treatment of most candidates.

Guo didn't plan to set up a special test venue for candidates to take the test.

He thinks it's good to study too much, it covers such a large area, and he must always use it, otherwise he will be sorry for Guo Someone's high amount of allocation.

Because of the large content of the test paper and the long time required for the exam, candidates are not allowed to leave Taixue at noon.

Candidates need to bring their own rations to eat when they are hungry at noon, and Taixue only provides drinking water, not rations.

Of course, if you are sleepy and feel that you have more money, of course, you can also choose to take a short break in the middle of the day and sleep on your seat.

The prescribed examination time is three and a half hours every day, from morning to afternoon, and the examination time is long, which is also a great test for the physical and psychological test of the candidates.

During the exam, it is strictly forbidden for any unrelated people to enter and exit the area around Taixue, and the road in and out of the area around Taixue will be completely blocked.

The entire Taixue will also be surrounded by the Black Armor Forbidden Legion, guarded by weapons, and anyone who enters and exits needs to hold a special warrant issued by the Ministry of Rites, and without a warrant, they are not allowed to enter and exit at will.

There are invigilators and inspectors in the examination room, the invigilator is an official of the Ministry of Rites, the inspector is a forbidden army, and they are all very good-eyed kinds.

Candidates who are confident can choose to submit their papers in advance, while those who do not submit their papers in advance need to sit in their seats and wait for all the papers to be collected before they can leave the venue in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the forbidden army.

This is undoubtedly a novel and exciting experience for candidates who are new to this extremely rigorous and well-regulated exam.

They feel like they're witnessing history, that they're going through a historic exam, and that they're going to be featured in future history books.

On the first day of the exam, the content of the examination is the knowledge of the Five Classics, arithmetic and astronomy and geography, which tests the candidates' basic understanding of the Five Classics, the mastery of basic arithmetic and the preliminary grasp of astronomy and geography and the world.

If you want to be a qualified grassroots official, these things must be mastered, and they cannot be handed over to others to help them master, and they are not required to be proficient in all of them, but at least they must be understood.

There are a lot of questions, and the general score is low, so as not to disturb the fairness because some questions with too high scores, and at the same time, in order to increase the time required for the exam, test the psychological and physical endurance of the scholars.

Unlike the Wenju exam, the first day of the martial arts exam is purely a physical test, with a weight-bearing obstacle course trail run.

If there is a shortage of horses during the infinite simulated march and battle, they will conduct this test on the route demarcated around Luoyang City.

The exam is scheduled for two hours, i.e. one morning.

The total mileage is there, and the difficulties and obstacles in the middle are also there, whether they can finish the run, and how long it takes, it depends on the candidates themselves.

If you can't finish it within two hours, it will be regarded as a failure and you will be out of the game directly.

Before the start of the race, the candidates were completely in accordance with the Wei army's weight-bearing marching norms, wearing armor, carrying weapons, carrying rations, water, and some auxiliary equipment, etc., if calculated by kilograms, it would be no less than 25 kilograms.

Obstacle trail running with such a weight can challenge the limits of the candidate's physiological tolerance.

There will be cavalry in the army to follow and supervise the whole off-road journey of the test, so as to prevent candidates from cheating by various means and affecting the fairness of the test.

In the same way, if a candidate is found to have taken the act of secretly reducing the weight or taking a shortcut, the person who finds it can also be richly rewarded.

On the morning of that day, the imperial examination was officially held at four o'clock.

The Wenju candidates began to answer the questions nervously, and the Wuju candidates also took a firm step and began to run obstacle cross-country weights.

The examination concerning them and the future of the Wei Empire has officially begun.

Guo Peng got up very early that day, and after getting up early to deal with state affairs for a while, when it was close to noon, he decided to leave the palace and go to the examination room to watch the exam.

As the main initiator and promoter of the exam, Guo Peng felt that it was necessary for him to feel the atmosphere of the exam room and feel what it was like to personally promote the exam.

And in this exam, he secretly arranged for Guo Jun to join the exam as a Wenju candidate, and he wanted Guo Jun to try his own catties and see how many people trained by the royal elite education could rank among the candidates in the country.

He felt that this was very meaningful, so that the royal children could recognize their own weight, and it could also allow Guo to fill in the gaps in royal education.

As a father, he is undoubtedly derelict in his duties, but in terms of royal education, as an emperor, he can also be involved, judging whether there is a problem with the royal education according to the imperial examination, where there is a problem, etc., at least he can control the direction at the education level.

Guo, who attaches great importance to education, has never relaxed on these issues.

So he called Guo Jia and Cao Cao together, accompanied him into Taixue through the back door, climbed the highest building in Taixue, Wangyuan Tower, and overlooked the entire Taixue examination room on the Wangyuan Tower.

The establishment of Wangyuan Tower itself is Guo someone's imitation of the Mingyuan Building in the place where the imperial examination was held later and built, climb high and look far away, you can see more, farther, more clearly, go around the Wangyuan Building on all sides, you can see a lot of candidates.

Moreover, in addition to the Wangyuan Building, there are other two-storey, three-story and even multi-storey buildings, and the surrounding area is also full of test centers for candidates - it is better to say that the candidate number building is spread out around the one-storey building.

As for those who are lucky enough to take the exam inside the building, it may not be good luck, they will face a greater number of more stringent invigilators and patrol bans.

Climbing high and looking into the distance, looking at the candidates who were sitting on the desk one by one in the number room, Guo Peng felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"To be able to see this scene, it is not in vain my expectations and efforts over the years, regardless of origin, family background, ancestral glory, just look at the current answer sheet, these self-improvement men are working hard here, it is the most beautiful scenery of my Wei, which is much better than any landscape."

Standing on the Wangyuan Tower, patting the railing, Guo Peng was deeply touched.

Guo Jia was just about to agree, but Cao Cao had already spoken before Guo Jia.

"Your Majesty's martial arts strategy has reached its peak, and now even the Wenzhi has moistened the world, this Wenzhi road, since ancient times, there are not many emperors who can compare with Your Majesty, and my Wei Tianzi must be the Holy Son of Heaven who is praised by future generations like Emperor Qin and Han Wu."

It seems that after years of experience, Cao Cao has long been well versed in following sycophants, and he is very good at taking the lead in sycophants, and the whole person has evolved into a very qualified super bureaucrat.

Cao Mengde, who wanted to be a general of the expedition to the west and wanted to level the filth of the world, was still gone after all, and under the high-pressure rule of Guo someone, the super bureaucrat Cao Mengde was born.

And this super bureaucrat can make Guo Jia very unhappy.
