Chapter 620: Imperial Examination (4)

"You don't have to fight anymore, I'll do this matter myself!"

Xu Tian didn't plan to let them do this for themselves.

Moreover.

They can't afford to do that, please.

To be honest, whether it will succeed the first time, Xu Tian himself doesn't know.

There are many problems, and only when they are actually implemented will we know what the problems are.

All they can do now is do everything they can to prevent it.

Only when you are well prepared will you have the ability to deal with whatever is going to happen.

"King...."Shen Du wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Tian waving his hand.

"Now that this matter has been spread, everyone in the world will focus on us.

Therefore, this matter is not something that anyone can do if they want to do it, and they can bear it if they want to! ”

Shen Du and the others were silent...

Yes, this time it's not as simple as they are talking about now.

"We must advance and retreat with the king!" Shen Du looked at Zhuge Liang and the others, and then said firmly.

"Okay..."Xu Tian laughed...

....

Three days later.

The first imperial examination in Xiangyang, which attracted the attention of the world, began the first examination.

This time, all the students who took the exam were students from Xiangyang University.

Among these people, there are people of all kinds.

Because Xu Tian said that as long as you have the ability, anyone who wants to study can enter Xiangyang Academy.

Therefore.

Among them, the highest has the son of a high-ranking official, and the lowest has a person who is a farmer in the era.

It is already a spectacle in this day and age that these people can stay together quietly, let alone take exams together.

On this day, the people of the entire Xiangyang gathered on their own initiative to the examination room personally selected by Xu Tian.

Here, it is less than a kilometer away from the Shadow Guard Mansion, and there are also Imperial Forest Troops stationed around.

If anything unexpected happens, you can react immediately.

On the square in front of the examination room, hundreds of people are quietly lined up at the moment.

They were all students taking the exam this time, and at this moment, regardless of their status, they all had nervous and excited looks on their faces.

They didn't know what this so-called exam was going to take, but they knew that this was a path that Xu Tian gave them.

A Yangguan Avenue that can lead to officialdom and glory and wealth.

Especially those students from humble backgrounds, even some of them were so excited that they couldn't stand on their feet.

If it weren't for someone holding them behind them, I'm afraid these people would have fainted on the spot.

After everyone was assembled, Xu Tian, accompanied by Zhuge Liang and others, slowly came to the front of these people.

"Meet the King!"

The moment they saw Xu Tian, all the students knelt down and bowed respectfully.

Some of them almost never imagined that they would one day see their king.

"Everyone, please get up!"

Xu Tian's voice was very gentle, blowing over everyone present like a spring breeze.

Many people who were excited and inexplicable, after hearing Xu Tian's voice, seemed to be not nervous all of a sudden, and their mood calmed down.

"I know that some of you have farmed or worked for generations in your family, and many of you have even been slaves to others in their own homes!

Some people may say that you are lowly, or maybe you are standing here because you are fed up with the feeling of being looked down upon!

But none of these things matter, because you are standing here, and the path before you today is the same!

As long as you have your own ability, I hereby assure you that you will definitely become the pillars of my Chu country! ”

Xu Tian's words made everyone present enthusiastic!

Everyone looked at Xu Tian in front of them with excited eyes.

They need to remember this person, who may be able to change their lives.

As the saying goes, the first person to eat crabs is always the luckiest.

Everyone standing here today is the legendary crab eater.

It's just that what they don't know is how many people's hearts are affected behind this incident.

Whether it is the secret agents of Jiangdong or the secret agents of the Wei State, they are all gathered here at this time.

They all accepted the same task, to ruin this exam in Xiangyang at all costs.

Whether it was Sun Quan or Cao Rui, they all knew in their hearts that as long as Xu Tian failed for the first time, the consequences would be unbearable for them!

"Let's start...."After speaking, Xu Tian signaled Zhuge Liang and the others to start.

The entrance to the examination room can be described as lined with armor, and the soldiers who can stand here are all strictly selected.

Everyone's identity and background are clear, eliminating the possibility of Jiangdong or Wei State spies getting in.

Every student who took the test had to go through three searches, and even all the clothes had to be removed before they could enter.

All the necessities in the examination room were personally supervised and sent in by Xu Tian, and there was no need for students to bring them themselves.

This is what Zhuge Liang said, you have to check what you walked in!

Time passed little by little, and by the time all the students had entered the examination room, nearly an hour had passed.

Although the process is slow and even extremely tedious, it absolutely eliminates all possibilities of cheating.

That's it.

The first exam, under everyone's gaze, began!

With Xu Tian's personal sitting, whether it was the chief examiner or the soldier, all of them were in the spirit of twelve points.

"My lord, so far, everything seems to be going well!" Shen Du said with a smile on his face as he stood in front of Xu Tian.

When preparing, they set everything very difficult, even at every turn.

With such psychological preparation, Shen Du naturally felt that everything was a little too smooth now.

"Yes...."Xu Tian picked up the tea on the table beside him. He said as he looked at the floating tea leaves.

"However, I don't know if it will go so smoothly next!"

"What do you say?" After Xu Tian finished speaking, he glanced at Zhuge Liang beside him meaningfully.

"What do you mean?" Shen Du looked at Xu Tian suspiciously, and then turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang.

"Since two days ago, a large number of strangers have entered Xiangyang!" Zhuge Liang looked at Shen Du with a smile and said.

"All of these people are from the north or from Jiangdong!"

Speaking of which, Shen Du completely understood.

"Good guys, I thought these people were giving up!" Shen Du said with a cold look in his eyes.

To be honest, Shen Du suspected that many people came back to make trouble, but he never thought of Jiangdong.

In his opinion, now Sun Quan can only hide in his own territory and tremble, where would he think of coming to Xiangyang to make trouble.......
