With the ringing of the bell, the annual Jinshi Imperial Examination officially began, and 50,000 scholars worked hard to write together in different examinations, working hard to realize their dreams and ambitions.

The first day of the exam is the examination of the scriptures, which is also the most important of the three exams, accounting for 60% of the score, poetry accounts for 10%, and strategy accounts for 30%, so the exam on the first day is a matter of success or failure.

The exam questions are divided into two parts, one is called the Silent Sutra, which tests the familiarity of the scholars with the Four Books and the Five Classics and other scriptures, and the test is generally very cold, such as writing a passage of Lu's Spring and Autumn Period, with a few lines in the middle, requiring the scholars to fill in the complete and not make a mistake.

The other is called asking the right question, which will test an extremely cold question question, so when the scholars get the test paper, they immediately turn to the end and look at the right test question, which accounts for more than half of the score.

This year's question is extremely secluded in the test questions, called 'Yuntai 28 generals, what will be the work?' Confucius is seventy-two sages, how can a sage be a sage? ’

Although the amount of meditation is very large, most of the scholars will finish it in half an hour, the key is the response question that takes a whole day to write, that is actually to write the life of a hundred people, who answers more satisfactorily, the higher the score.

The last question made most of the candidates dumbfounded, Huangfu Weiming wrote the previous scriptures in less than half an hour, and asked the right question, he just pondered slightly, and then did not hesitate to write down: The first general of Yuntai, Gaomi Hou Deng Yu, the word Zhonghua, is a native of Xinye County, Nanyang County...... Guan Xianju is very proud, these questions, he can be a good question, and the Lin brothers who are in the Guozixue exam are also ecstatic in their hearts, and the two of them will be on the gold list high school this year.

．．．．．．． The exam was carried out in an orderly manner, and the surroundings of Taixue became quiet, and Wu Jin rode a horse to lead a team of plum blossom guards to patrol around the examination room, whether it was embroidered clothes or plum blossom guards, they could only be responsible for the surroundings of the examination room, and could not enter the examination room.

In fact, Wujin's plum blossom guard patrol is meaningless, just a routine, the examination room is set up in Taixue, if someone wants to disturb the examination room, first of all, you must enter Taixue, but there are also Meihuawei first army patrolling outside Taixue, it is already difficult to enter Taixue, so in the past hundred years, basically nothing has happened to make trouble in the examination room.

After inspecting for an hour, even Wujin felt a little bored and bored, and he was about to go to Taixue to find a place to rest, but he saw a team of people coming from a distance.

"General, it seems that the emperor is here!"

Zhang Long participated in the patrols of the past year and the year before that, and had a little experience, although the military horses that came over did not have anything like Huangluo umbrella covers, but he still guessed that this was the emperor who came to inspect.

As the military horse approached, Wu Jin recognized the person who was surrounded in the middle, and it was really the emperor of the Daning Dynasty, Huangfu Xuande, he was wearing a regular uniform, and there were only more than 100 guards around him, without the extravagance of the Huangluo umbrella cover, and without the swagger of the three thousand Yulin army to open the way, in this sense, he should belong to the micro-service visit.

Wujin turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Emperor Fu Wujin sees His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

It is a common practice for Huangfu Xuande to inspect the imperial examination every year, but the specific time is not necessarily, this year he came relatively early, and the examination took more than an hour.

Huangfu Xuande didn't recognize Wujin at first, and when he signed up, he was slightly stunned, looked Wujin up and down, and saw that he was the military uniform of the Plum Blossom Guard, so he smiled and said: "You still look more powerful in a military uniform, and I didn't even recognize it." ”

"The minister is in charge of patrolling around the Taixue examination room today."

Huangfu Xuande nodded, "I came to inspect the examination room today, so you can stay with me!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Wujin got up, followed Huangfu Xuande's side, and gave him a brief report on today's security situation, but Huangfu Xuande didn't seem to have any interest in the exam, he was very interested in Wujin.

"I have officially approved the decision to expand the Embroidery Guard and the Plum Blossom Guard this morning, including the transfer of personnel from various states, you are also among them, you will be the general of the Plum Blossom Guard of Chuzhou, no Jin, among the children of the royal family of your generation, you are the person with the highest position, you don't let me down."

Wu Jin hurriedly said, "The minister must do his best to be loyal to His Majesty!" ”

Huangfu Xuande smiled and said: "You are the grandson of the king of Lanling County, and the king of Lanling County is my own uncle, you belong to the royal family, speaking of which we are a family, I hope that you will always think of the royal family and stabilize our family's country, after you arrive in Chuzhou, don't do nothing, you must dare to make achievements, all the forces that threaten our family, you must completely eradicate them, I don't want the side of the Daning Dynasty to have people eyeing our country." ”

Huangfu Xuande's inadvertent words when inspecting the examination room made Wujin's back break out in a cold sweat, and he suddenly understood the real reason why Huangfu Xuande appointed him as the deputy governor of the Chuzhou Navy Army.

Huangfu Xuande actually wanted him to deal with the Phoenix Society, he knew that he had a relationship with the Phoenix Society, Uncle Shen Guo once wanted to use the Phoenix Society to impeach the prince, but was suppressed by Huangfu Xuande, not that he wanted to protect the prince, but he had another deep meaning, he wanted him Huangfu Wujin to deal with the Phoenix Society, if he destroyed the Phoenix Society, it could eradicate the biggest maritime threat in the Daning Dynasty in the past thirty years, if he failed to destroy the Phoenix Society, then Huangfu Xuande could clean him up smoothly, and even bite back, It is said that the Liang King and the Phoenix will collude to use this excuse to seize the military power of the Liang King line.

Only then did Wu Jin realize Huangfu Xuande's foresight, and the real reason why he went to Chuzhou to take up his post only surfaced, and if he didn't react, then he wouldn't even know how he died in the future.

But what's the use of understanding now? Can he not go to work? Huangfu Xuande also knew that everything could not be changed, so he revealed his true intentions, of course, his original intention was not to reveal anything, but Wu Jin saw through his true intentions from his plan.

Huangfu Xuande glanced at him, as if he sensed the anxiety in Wujin's heart, he smiled faintly and walked into the examination room.

Wu Jin also knew that this matter could only be blocked by soldiers, and it was useless to think about it now, so he ignored it for the time being, and followed Huangfu Xuande into the examination room.

The examination room is very quiet, more than 20,000 scholars are working hard in a small room like a beehive, from time to time there are examiners patrolling back and forth, there is no curtain in the small room, everything in the room can be seen clearly.

Taixue is the invigilator of the Ministry of Officials, and Zhao Bingming, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, is in charge, and the arrival of the emperor makes him hurriedly come forward to greet him.

"How's the exam room going?"

"Your Majesty, everything is going well, nothing abnormal happened, only a few scholars fainted due to excessive nervousness, and after being treated by the imperial doctor, they continued to take the exam."

"I'm going to make a tour of the exam room."

Huangfu Xuande turned back to the guards and said, "Don't follow, it's enough for Liang Guogong and Lord Zhao to accompany me." ”

Zhao Bingming was extremely shocked, it was the first time that the emperor did not want to be accompanied by guards, it was normal for him to accompany the inspection, but the entire security was handed over to Huangfu Wujin alone, which was simply ..... Did the emperor trust him like this?

Huangfu Xuande smiled at Wu Jin again, "Wu Jin, you are my imperial nephew, and my safety will be handed over to you." ”

Wu Jin sighed secretly in his heart, he understood that this was Huangfu Xuande pouring [***] soup into him, as if he had great trust in him, but in fact, behind this incomparable trust, he had to walk into the trap of strangling the Liang Wang family without any vigilance, including the previous saying that he was a descendant of the royal family, all for one purpose.

"The minister will not hesitate to die!"

Huangfu Xuande patted him on the shoulder appreciatively, "I trust you very much. ”

After speaking, he walked towards the rows of examination rooms with his hands in his hands, and the guards guarding the emperor really didn't dare to follow, just watched the situation on both sides from a distance.

Wu Jin followed Huangfu Xuande's side, he was still under pressure, his spirit was very concentrated, paying attention to the slightest change in his surroundings, when passing through each candidate's small room, he would always take a step ahead first, blocking Huangfu Xuande with his body, and after observing that the candidates were not abnormal, he dodged his body and let Huangfu Xuande inspect, at this time, the emperor had to take a lot of responsibility for any incident.

The candidates of each test number did not notice the situation outside, and now the exam has just passed an hour and a half, which is the most important moment of the exam, every candidate is engrossed in thinking about the questions, and the vast majority of candidates have finished answering the first part of the silent scripture questions, and are now concentrating on the second part of the questions.

The first day of the exam is a total of six hours, including lunch time, as soon as the bell rings, you must immediately stop writing, and then the examiner immediately begins to collect the paper from both sides, at this time if there is anyone else writing, the examiner will not punish, but will not wait, walk directly past him, the paper will not be collected again, it is equivalent to no grade.

Every year, many candidates will be named Sun Mountain because of this, and these precautions are clearly written on the exam.

Six hours, it seems that there is a lot of time, but in fact, experienced candidates know that if they can't finish the first part within an hour and a half, and he will definitely not finish the second part, even if it is done hastily, it is simple and hasty.

Otherwise, how can it be possible to publish the gold list within five days of 50,000 exam papers? In fact, the examiner's marking is the implementation of the elimination system, if the first subject does not pass the preliminary evaluation and is eliminated, then the next two subjects are good, the examiner will not look at it, and the opportunity will be lost.

Of course, in order to ensure fairness, the exam papers are all named, even if you know a certain examiner, it is useless to make marks in the exam papers, not necessarily this examiner to look at your papers, even if you buy the examiner Su Xun, it is meaningless, unless you can pass the review of the previous examiner, in fact, 50,000 exam papers, Su Xun only looks at the last two or three hundred exam papers to determine the final admission list, and the top ten Su Xun cannot make the decision, must be voted by all the examiners.

Huangfu Xuande's inspection of the examination room was just a gesture, indicating that he attached great importance to the Jinshi Imperial Examination, and in the end, letting Wujin accompany him alone to inspect the examination number was a smoke bomb that trusted Wujin, and his real purpose was to seek the army of King Liang.
