After entering the palace, Moisan quickly found his seat under the guidance of the guards. In the center of the first row closest to the main entrance of the Imperial Palace, there is a stone staircase carved with a symbol of the emperor. This stone staircase can only be walked by the emperor, and the queen can only walk once when she is crowned.

Any minister or relative of the emperor who dared to walk up this stone step would be considered as having a rebellion and would be beheaded! It is said that a man was once invited to a banquet by the emperor, and at the banquet, he drank high and walked down the dragon stone steps in a daze, and as a result, his head was cut off on the spot by the Praetorian Guards on duty at that time and hung outside the city gate.

Mo Sang looked at the full Praetorian Guards standing around, and felt quite emotional in his heart. It is not a loss of the imperial city, and each of these Praetorian Guards is more imposing than the strongest martial arts leader in Qingshi Town. At this time, there were some timid people on the field who actually peed their pants under the surveillance of these heavy Praetorian Guards, which caused everyone to laugh from time to time.

Moissan, who has no interest in making fun of these people. He's here in the name of the champion, and nothing else has anything to do with him.

After all the candidates took their seats, a burst of trembling drums came.

After the drums, a crisp announcement sounded.

"The Emperor has arrived. ”

After the announcement, everyone stood up and knelt down to pray three times.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a haggard face and a bloated body and a golden dragon robe walked to the stone steps with the support of everyone and looked at the people in the audience.

"Flat. ”

His voice was loud and powerful, completely out of proportion to his bloated stature.

After thanking them, they all got up, the Praetorian Guards stood, and the examiners continued to take their seats.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day when the imperial examination will be held in the prosperous era of my Celestial Empire. Some of you will stand out here and become the pillars of the nation!

However, this year's scientific expedition is different from previous years, and my protector 'Xuanzang', that is, my royal brother, will choose the champion among you to be accepted as a lay disciple and accept him to teach the Dharma alone.

Which of you has this blessed fate depends on your own strength.

Okay, without further ado, let's start the exam. ”

Those candidates heard that the emperor said that this time Master Xuanzang was going to accept apprentices, and they immediately began to discuss.

You must know that this Xuanzang is not a very human being, not only is he the younger brother of today's son, but also practiced Buddhism at a young age. It is said that as early as ten years ago, he had conquered the golden body, and the life of the immortal Buddha root was endless.

There are very few mortals who can be lucky enough to get the opportunity to cultivate, and now it is unique to recruit apprentices in such a large-scale manner.

Many people have already shown greed, not to mention the great opportunity to get immortality, just this opportunity to climb the emperor's relatives is enough to make a normal person crazy.

Mo Sang was also quite shocked in his heart at this time, but he was not greedy for the method of cultivation. If he was willing, Qi Ling'er would naturally give him the best chance. But what happens after immortality?

Immortal people will inevitably watch their closest people leave them because of their infinite longevity, and the path of cultivation is so lonely, often in the deep mountains that it takes several years or even decades to realize the Tao. The prosperity of the world is gone, and when you have achieved something in your studies, you find that the people you love the most and the people you love the most have grown old or even died. What's the point of leaving yourself alone to face this bustling world?

However, to Mo Sang's shock, the emperor's words made him understand why Concubine Hua's younger brother would give up the martial arts champion and compete for the title of Wen champion.

Although Concubine Hua was favored, the emperor's younger brother Xuanzang didn't like her very much. Because Xuanzang has been a monk since he was a child, he has a deep relationship with his only brother.

When he returned from school, he found that there was such a woman who brought disaster to the country and the people next to his brother, of course, he was furious, and it is said that once Master Xuanzang rushed into the harem with a sword, and almost stabbed the Hua Concubine to death.

However, at that critical moment, the emperor arrived and stopped his angry brother. The emperor persuaded her in every possible way, and Xuanzang went around her life and walked away.

Afterwards, Concubine Hua realized that although she was in power, there was no monk around her who could compete with Xuanzang to support her and protect her, as long as Master Xuanzang was in the palace for a day, Concubine Hua's life could be lost at any time.

Since then, Concubine Hua has vigorously attracted monks from all factions. He even did not hesitate to marry his own sister to an elder of a demon sect for him to have fun in exchange for the support of the demon clan.

Although the sacrifice was great, the effect was immediate. The current Concubine Hua has many disciples around him who are willing to be driven by her, and Xuanzang is also afraid of offending so many cultivators and does not dare to act rashly.

However, this time Xuanzang recruited disciples, and Concubine Hua, who was the emperor's pillow person, naturally got the news a long time ago. Then it is not difficult to deduce that she wants to place her own brother next to Xuanzang, firstly, to ease her relationship with Xuanzang, and secondly, to monitor his every move.

Xuanzang is a person who loves and hates, and Concubine Hua is not worried that her brother will be rejected by Master Xuanzang because of her relationship. As long as his younger brother can get the name of champion this time, Xuanzang will naturally accept him as an apprentice and teach him to him.

With her younger brother in charge of military affairs and her own government inside, her Hua family will inevitably be in full swing.

Mo Sang thought of this, and felt even more that Hua Hu, the brother of Concubine Hua, would become his biggest obstacle!

At this time, a eunuch had already sounded the gong, followed by the huge hourglass that the two Praetorian Guards were standing next to the examination room, and wisps of yellow sand poured into the sand basin through the small hole under the funnel. If all the sand in the hourglass is over, then the time for the exam is up, and you will have no chance to answer the questions before you finish the questions.

Seeing that the hourglass had begun to be timed, the exams hurriedly gathered up all kinds of thoughts and began to bow their heads and answer the questions seriously.

Mo Sang also hurriedly packed up his thoughts and prepared to answer the question, but when he lowered his head, he found that the person sitting next to him was Hua Hu, the brother of Concubine Hua!

At this time, Hua Hu didn't care about any situation next to him at all, and only answered the question wholeheartedly. The ink pen in his hand was quickly written on the straw paper, and there was no process of reviewing the problem at all!

He already knew the contents of the test paper!

Mo Sang was shocked when he saw this, it seems that Concubine Hua still used her power to create a great opportunity for this younger brother!

Although he was shocked in his heart, Mo Sang had nothing to stop it. Is he going to stand up and report it? That would be a stupid move.

Although this Hua Hu was seen by Mo Sang cheating, he didn't take a cheat sheet or peek at the test papers of the candidates next door after all. Obviously, the answer has been remembered by him for a long time!

In this way, Moissans does not have any evidence to prove that Hua Hu cheated. After all, this Hua Hu is Concubine Hua's younger brother, and even if it is confirmed that cheating is at most disqualified from the exam, if someone dares to frame him for cheating for no reason, the consequences can be imagined.
