Mo Sang heard the hostility in Concubine Hua's tone, and was a little worried in his heart: This woman won't come nonsense, right? I don't believe that you will be kind enough to help me say good things.

Concubine Hua changed her words and stood on top of the big point. With his right hand, he took out a yellow scroll from his left sleeve and handed it to the little eunuch beside him.

Mo Sang saw at a glance that it was a holy decree! He secretly said in his heart: It's bad, I'm afraid something is really going to happen now!

The little eunuch took the decree from Concubine Hua very respectfully and read it aloud.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:

Today coincides with the time of the imperial examination, but I can't preside over it in person. Concubine Hua replaced me with interviews, etc., and the test questions given by Concubine Hua were all written by me.

You must treat it as if it were me, and you must not slack off.

Chin this. ”

After the little eunuch finished reading it, he closed the holy decree and handed it to Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua took the holy decree with both hands and put it in front of the high platform, and said loudly to the audience.

"Now that the decree has been read, let's get started!"

Mo Sang's heart was as cold as water at this time, he never thought that the emperor was sick at this juncture, let alone that Concubine Hua would have the means to ask the Holy Decree to personally preside over the palace examination. With this holy decree, then everything she does is the emperor's will, and I am afraid that no one will dare to say anything about it anymore.

Although Mo Sang has no other way, it has been stated in the holy decree that today's exam questions are all made by the emperor himself, and I think that Concubine Hua should also have the test questions that she only got today, so she should not know the content of the test questions when she came to Huahu along the way. Maybe he still has a chance, and with this extremely low possibility, Mo Sang is still willing to work harder.

After all, this is the case, either you will quit or you will have to continue with the exam. Whatever the outcome, at least Mossan has to try to fight it, but it's not his character to give up halfway.

The temple test is divided into three parts.

The first is that the emperor summoned all the candidates to observe their words and appearances and their loyalty to the court. To put it bluntly, it's just to look at the face.

This piece should be in the past.

The second part is that the emperor will inspect the students of the palace examination one by one, and let them answer one after another. Those who are subtle get a high score, during which only one person is left in the temple and the others are avoided.

The third is the question of current affairs. That is, all candidates will be sent into the hall to answer the questions in a unified manner, and everyone can express their own opinions and how to deal with them. In the end, it is up to the emperor to decide who has the best decision and the most profound insight.

After three rounds, the emperor finally ranked the top three as the first class results according to the overall performance of all the candidates who entered the palace examination, the fourth to twenty were the second grades, and the rest were all the top three scores.

The first person in that class is the champion, the second place is the list, and the third is Tanhua. You can get a reward for the six-rank official position.

The second-class candidates will be rewarded with the title of Jinshi and can enjoy the reward from the sixth-grade official position.

The top three candidates will be rewarded with the title of Jinshi and can enjoy the reward of the seventh-grade official position.

At each stage, the official position is increased by half-grade, but when it comes to the position, all are equal, and they have the same promotion opportunities, and at that time, it depends on talent and relationship. Therefore, even if you are the last in Jinshi, it is also possible to become the superior of the champion in a short period of time, as long as you are hard enough in the background and strong enough.

After listening to the holy decree, all the candidates withdrew from the main hall under the guidance of the little eunuch, and at this time only Mo Sang was left in the main hall, because he was the first place in the second round, so he was the first to conduct the palace examination and answer.

Mo Sang looked at Concubine Hua's smug smile on the high platform at this time, and his mind went up and down. He couldn't figure out what kind of answer this woman would give him, and it was impossible to do anything else at this point. Mo Sang gently pinched the flame jade pendant in his hand, and the cool feeling in the jade pendant calmed Mo Sang's excitement a little.

Concubine Hua was also a little surprised when she looked at Mo San's unsurprised demeanor, she snorted coldly and sat back on the phoenix couch and spoke.

"Today's examiner is Hongu, didn't you expect it?"

Mo Sang replied with a deep bow in his fist.

"Xiaosheng just came to take the exam, and he is willing to serve the court and the people with what he has learned all his life. At this time, it doesn't matter who the person who is the main examiner, since the Holy Admiral has entrusted you with the heavy responsibility, I have nothing to criticize, as long as the mother handles it impartially. ”

Concubine Hua heard Mo Sang's answer, and said with a smile.

"What an upright scholar. To tell the truth, if you don't work with this palace, I'm really reluctant to lose a talent like you. It's a pity that you are born against the bone and are destined not to be used by me. Since I can't restrain you, I have to destroy you. lest your future power be against me. ”

At this time, on the main hall, there was only Concubine Hua, two little eunuchs and a clerk. The little eunuch is responsible for reading the test questions, and the clerk is responsible for recording the candidates' answers. Concubine Hua dared to say these words openly, and the two little eunuchs and the clerk were probably her confidants. If this kind of blatant disobedience spreads, it will naturally be a crime to exterminate the nine clans.

Mo Sang heard Concubine Hua's unscrupulous words, and his heart was already half cold. It is estimated that this time it is more auspicious and less auspicious, at this time he just begged this woman not to come nonsense, and just fall directly to the bottom.

Mo Sang kept thinking about ways to turn defeat into victory, if he could see that Master Xuanzang, maybe everything would turn around. However, this kind of imperial examination of the imperial court, Xuanzang's identity as a protector of the country is not convenient to participate. After all, the imperial court is also very jealous of those powerful people who cultivate, even if this powerful person is a royal noble.

Concubine Hua saw that Mo Sang was silent, and walked gently from the high platform to his side.

At this time, Mo Sang saw this woman who was noble and elegant on the outside but sinister and vicious in her heart walking to his side, and that powerful aura almost overwhelmed him. At this time, Mo Sang silently recited the Heart Purification Mantra in his mind, and a clear sense of emptiness swept away the aura oppression from Concubine Hua, making him a little more comfortable.

"Okay, since you insist on resisting to the end, this palace will fulfill you. I also let you know what kind of people in this court can provoke what kind of people can't be provoked. ”

After speaking, Concubine Hua turned around and walked back to the high platform, took out a roll of yellow silk books from a locked brocade box and handed it to the little eunuch beside her. The little eunuch respectfully took the silk book with both hands and read it aloud, which was the first question of this palace examination.

The question is about the way of filial piety, probably a list of celebrity biographies of ancient and modern sages and filial piety people, and then talk about some of their own feelings and things they have done in person.

Mo Sanjun answered them one by one, and waited for the answer to be completed. Mo Sang was just about to turn around and leave, Concubine Hua said.

"Slow"

Mo Sang listened and stood in place, according to the procedure, at this time, he only needed to thank him to leave, and he didn't know what this woman wanted to do.

"What else? ”

Concubine Hua smiled lightly, walked up to the clerk, picked up what Mo Sang had answered, and looked at it. and handed it to Mosan.
