October 1 was a festive day, and Chang'an gathered 500 literati from all over the world at this time.

The door of the house opened, the students rushed in, and the soldiers in charge of the inspection did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and they were loyal to their duties one by one.

There are only 500 students, although it is not satisfactory compared to the Hongda scene of the imperial examination in later generations, but after all, it is the first time to hold such an exam, Yang Xu sits in the position of the chief examiner, and he is quite satisfied.

The first exam mainly examines the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the topic is, the people can make it impossible to know.

Candidates take their seats, the examiner begins to distribute the test papers, students look at the test questions, most of them smile, think for a moment, and then sprinkle ink, of course, there are still some people scratching their ears and cheeks, and they don't move their pen and ink for a long time.

After the half-day exam, the candidates are dismissed, and the examiner collects the test papers one by one and then seals them.

If the candidates are handy on the first day of the exam, then the exam that starts on the second day will make these candidates have a big head.

"Question: Someone A has a chicken and lays three eggs a day, and A eats one a day, so after thirty days, how many eggs are left!"

"Topic: If there is a bag of grain, Zhang Sanyi can eat it for ten days, and Li Siyi can eat it for eight days, so how many days can two people eat it at the same time?"

"Question: A ten-pound iron ball and a five-pound iron ball, if two iron balls are dropped from the same height at the same time, which one will hit the ground first?"

A group of candidates looked at the strange questions and cried, the hen lays three eggs a day, do you think you are the bully of the chickens, a bag of grain is one hundred and eighty pounds, a person eats it in eight days, what a big appetite, and who else will have nothing to do with the iron ball and throw it to play! But that's not the point, the point is the topic of this thing, who the hell came up with it, there is no normal one at all.

Of course, these strange questions are from Yang Xu, from the simple to the difficult, any junior high school student in the future will do it, considering the different times, Yang Xu also reduced the difficulty, but looking at the candidates with bitter faces, as if they have a deep hatred with the test paper, Yang Xu frowned, is it so difficult?

However, there are still a few special ones, and in less than an hour, they have all been handed in! Yang Xu felt strange and asked the examiner to submit the test paper.

"Question: Someone A has a chicken and lays three eggs a day, and A eats one a day, so after thirty days, how many eggs are left!"

"A: There are zero left, because a chicken can only lay one egg a day."

"Topic: If there is a bag of grain, Zhang Sanyi can eat it for ten days, and Li Siyi can eat it for eight days, so how many days can two people eat it at the same time?"

"A: Not sure, because they can save on food."

"Question: A ten-pound iron ball and a five-pound iron ball, if two iron balls are dropped from the same height at the same time, which one will hit the ground first?"

"A: I don't know, I'll try it back when I'm done with the exam!"

Yang Xu suddenly burst into tears, and threw the test paper directly on the ground, feeling that it was not enough, so he stomped a few feet.

When the mood calmed down, when Yang Xu looked at the next test paper, he was already mentally prepared, but what was wrong with Ji Tai was that this test paper was answered so well, not only did he answer correctly, but also the handwriting was beautiful and neat, which was pleasing to the eye.

"Cai Wei! Who is this man? I've never heard of this name in the Three Kingdoms! Yang Xu muttered to himself suspiciously, "It may be a talent buried by history and not known by future generations!" ”

Five days later, the scientific examination list was released, and I wanted to admit 100 people, but the overall strength of this batch was too poor, Yang Xu was in line with the principle of preferring shortage to excess, and there were not even 50 people on the list in the end.

The champion is Xi Zhicai, Zhang Ji, and Cai Wei.

Needless to say, a bull, Zhang is as political as 95, and he can be regarded as an expert in governance, as for Cai Wei, no matter how Yang Xu looks at it, he feels too sissy.

"It won't be a woman dressed as a man! The surname is Cai, could it be Cai Yan? Yang Xu thought secretly, and at this time, the system prompted: "The entry of the military general Cai Yan is successful!" ”

"I'll go, it's really Cai Yan, but which one are you playing? Want to take the female top prize? Yang Xu slandered in his heart, but it was not easy to expose it in public.

"You are all the talents of the country, today can come to Chang'an, to serve Yang Xu, it is a blessing of Xu, today to set up a banquet to invite you to come, one is to congratulate the ranks, high school, and the other is that Yang Xu likes to make friends with the world's talents, so I want to drink with you." Yang Xu raised his wine glass and said to the people below.

"General Xie!" Everyone stood up and saluted together.

"Okay, here's the go!" Yang Xu gestured, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

And they all bowed their heads and drank all the wine from their cups.

"The top three on the list this time, the champion drama Zhicai, I heard that you are resourceful and strategic, and Xu wants to worship Mr. as a military advisor!" Yang Xu looked at the first person and said.

"The general praises falsely, the ambition is shallow, and he dare not be a military advisor!" Xi Zhicai declined.

"I said you can do it, you can do it, you can do it if you can, not to mention you can do it!" Yang Xu walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and continued in a low voice: "You are the champion, if you don't accept it, won't it make the world laugh at me for having no eyes?" ”

Xi Zhicai may have been confused by Yang Xu, and he was stunned for a while, before he said: "Then Xi Zhicai is better to obey than respectful!" ”

Seeing that he agreed, Yang Xu checked the loyalty of 88, and rewarded some treasures in his heart to pull up the loyalty. walked in front of Zhang Ji again: "You are a role model, and you are from the Zhang family, then I will appoint you as the master and assist Zhang Zhao in handling political affairs!" ”

"Obey the order!" Zhang Ji immediately responded!

"Good, good!" Yang Xu said three good words in a row, looked at everyone again, and said: "The whereabouts of the rest of the people will be decided by Shi Chenqun, the governor of the palace, and I will not participate!" Now there is only one purpose left, which is to drink, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return! ”

After Yang Xu finished speaking, everyone also gave up restraint and began to drink together, martial artists love wine, literati are no exception, during the period, in addition to toasting Yang Xu, everyone toasted more to Xi Zhicai and Zhang Ji, after all, they had just been appointed and were the celebrities in Yang Xu's eyes.

Three hours later, the feast was over, and it was evening.

Seeing that everyone was leaving one after another, Yang Xu, who was a little drunk, suddenly remembered something and said, "Cai Wei, you stay!" ”

Cai Yan heard the order and stopped indifferently.

"Let's go, go to my study, I have something to ask you!" Yang Xu passed by her side and said.

After hearing this, Cai Yan was a little expectant and a little nervous, and cautiously followed behind Yang Xu.

Yang Xu returned to the study in a daze and closed the door.

"Miss Cai Yan, there are no outsiders now, you can tell me your purpose!" Yang Xu glanced at her and smiled.

"The general is called wrong, my name is Cai Wei!" Cai Yan flatly denied it.

"Cai Yan, Wei Zhongdao, you said that you don't care about making up a fake name, so that people can guess it at a glance, can you hide it from me?" Yang Xu teased, and then looked her up and down, looking Cai Yan shyly and embarrassed, before saying: "You said that you are a good beauty, but you have to tie your chest and tie a crown, it is too bad for the scenery, it is better to take off your curtain!" ”

But seeing that Cai Yan didn't deny it, he was a little nervous and said: "Then please turn around, and the little woman will get rid of these restraints!" ”

Yang Xu shook and turned around, but in less than a moment, he suddenly had a palpitation, and when he turned around, he saw Cai Yan stabbing at him with a dagger in his hand.
