Chapter Eighty-Nine: Submit the Papers Ahead of Time
The Southeast Empire, in the first year of 101, the national examination was officially opened. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This year's national examination was personally ordered by the Imperial Dragon Emperor, and Ji Lan, the first university scholar of the Hanlin Academy, personally conducted the examination. It is enough to prove that this national examination is extraordinary and attaches great importance to it.
And the questions about this national examination are finally shown in front of everyone.
"In a civil and military war, which is stronger and which is weaker?"
The sonorous and powerful, majestic font of eight large characters is inlaid on a huge banner ten meters long and five meters wide. Banners fall from the top of the library like a waterfall pouring down, full of grandeur.
In the examination room, nearly 10,000 candidates, all of whom have studied hard for more than ten years and are excellent in character and learning. Compared with those rich disciples who used to enter the Astronomy Academy through the back door and spend money, it is ten times and a hundred times stronger.
However, when they saw such an exam question, everyone stopped the brush in their hands, their minds were blank, and they didn't know how to write.
If it is not prompted by the examiner, let all candidates answer truthfully according to what they think. I am afraid that the number of blank papers submitted in this national examination will definitely exceed that of any time before.
After Ji Lan's reminder, the candidates whose minds were blank wrote suspiciously and wrote the answers they thought were correct on the answer sheet, so that there would be no embarrassing situation of handing in thousands of blank papers.
On the high platform, Ji Lan sat majestically, and with the strength of Emperor Wen, he naturally had great magical powers. With a slight use of mana, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up, and he could clearly see the answer sheet of each candidate.
"Hey, sure enough, as I guessed, these scholars all think that Wendao must be defeated by martial arts, alas, sad......"
It's just that when he saw the answer chosen by each candidate, the disappointment on his face kept appearing, and he sighed again and again.
Ji Lan showed disappointment on his face and kept shaking his head, because he saw that ninety percent of the candidates had chosen the answer of Wen Defeat and Wu Sheng.
In fact, Ji Lan knows the reason why this national examination is different from the past.
The difficulty of this national examination is far more difficult than in previous years, and it is even more exposed to the scorching sun to answer the questions, in order to screen out the most talented talents.
It turned out that Bu Wuwu really guessed something, and after Wang Teng spread the news that the royal family was going to rebel fearlessly throughout the empire.
Although it shows that the royal family and the royal family have not made a move so far, they are safe. But there has long been an undercurrent in the dark, and after many encounters, both sides have their own winners and losers.
As for a complete war between the royal family and the royal family, it will take at least three months or half a year at most, and it will definitely break out.
It's just that the royal family has one of its biggest enemies, and even the current Dragon Emperor is not its opponent. This person is the ancestor of the royal family and the dean of Tianwu Academy.
This person has now successfully stepped into the Semi-Martial Saint Realm, and has become the strongest person in the Southeast Empire, with him behind his back, even if it is the royal family, there is no certainty of victory.
And not only that, the ancestor of the royal family used his identity as the dean of the Tianwu Academy, and used various means of coercion and temptation to force many martial arts geniuses of the Tianwu Academy to join the camp of the royal family and work for the royal family.
It can be said that the strength of the royal family is expanding rapidly, and even slightly exceeds the royal family. It's just that the royal family has not yet found an excuse to rebel, so it has not officially started a war with the royal family. But this battle, sooner or later, will come.
Since all the martial arts geniuses of the Heavenly Martial Academy have all entered the camp of the royal family, the royal family naturally wants to find strength to fight against it.
This time, Ji Lan sat in the national examination, and his most important purpose was to select the geniuses of Wendao to fight against the royal family.
Choose the noon time when the temperature is the highest, which is the first level of selection to test the candidate's physical fitness.
Ji Lan understands that the qualified candidates selected this time are not only civil officials, but also those who care all day long. Instead, they will be sent to the battlefield to fight the warriors.
If it is difficult to persist even at this temperature, no matter how knowledgeable he is, he is destined to not meet the requirements of this selection.
As for the exam questions this time, it is the second test, which is a test of the inner will of all candidates.
It's just that when he saw that ninety percent of the candidates answered that Wen was defeated and Wu Sheng, Ji Lan showed a long disappointment on his face. Because these people have not yet officially opened with the martial artists, they have already judged themselves to be losers, and they don't even have the courage to provoke.
I have already admitted defeat in my heart, how can I have the courage to fight?
In this way, if they are sent to battle, it will only cost their lives in vain. Therefore, Ji Lan sighed again and again, and the disappointed look on his face was clear.
"It seems that only a few good seedlings can be selected from the remaining ten percent of candidates. ”
Of course, nearly 10,000 candidates, not all of them answered Wen Defeat, and the rest of the adults chose different answers.
Ji Lan set his eyes on the remaining adults, except for some candidates who were hesitant and had not put down the pen for a long time, and were still blank papers. Counted, three hundred people wrote down the answer to the draw.
"Being able to write a draw shows that these 300 candidates still have the determination to fight with the martial arts, and they have not yet accepted defeat, which is considered to be qualified. ”
"When these three hundred people are sent to the palace, and then taught by me personally, it will definitely become a killer move. ”
Ji Lan wrote down these three hundred candidates in his heart, which was barely some comfort to himself.
"It's just a pity that no one dares to write down Wen Sheng's answer......" Ji Lan comforted herself in her heart, but her eyebrows showed disappointment.
Because he didn't see a candidate dare to write Wensheng, he was still deeply shocked by him, a bachelor who had been on the literary path for so long.
"Lord Examiner, if there are no other exam questions, can I submit the paper in advance?"
However, less than a minute before the exam started, a teenager's voice suddenly sounded throughout the examination room, breaking the solemn atmosphere of the examination room.
"Someone is going to turn in the papers?!"
"It's only been a minute since the national exam started, and someone has handed in the papers?"
The boy's request to hand in the paper was instantly heard by all the candidates, and they were all curious to see who was so quick to hand in the paper.
"Hmph, it's only been less than a minute to hand in the papers, don't even think about it, it must be a blank paper!" Of course, more candidates think that this teenager is handing in a blank paper.
It was only less than a minute before the exam started, and there were candidates who wanted to hand in the papers, and when they heard this voice, Ji Lan's face also frowned slightly, and he also thought that this person was going to hand in a blank paper.
Because those candidates who choose to lose or draw, whether they choose to lose, or draw, are racking their brains to explain the reasons for their respective answers.
The mind swept away, and his eyes instantly looked at the first row, the first position. When he saw the candidate in the position, Ji Lan's expression was stunned, and his face was surprised: "It's you?!"
It turned out that the candidate who applied for early submission of the paper was none other than Bu Wuwu.
At this moment, I can see that Bu Wuwu has put down the answer pen, put the answer sheet on the examination table, and sat calmly, looking like he has finished answering.
Bu Wuwu made such a big disturbance in the Astronomy Academy, and he had already preached the palace, and Ji Lan naturally recognized it. It's just that he couldn't have imagined that the candidate who applied for early submission turned out to be Bu Wuwu.
With a slightly questioning face, he asked, "Are you sure you want to hand in the paper now?"
At the same time, his eyes fell on Bu Wuwu's answer sheet, and when he saw the answer on the answer sheet, Ji Lan's body suddenly shook, and his eyes bloomed, revealing joy.
On the answer sheet of Bu Wuwu, two words were written in a majestic manner -- Wen Sheng!
The volume is clean and tidy, and there is no other textual explanation......
ps: Recently, there have been floods in various parts of the motherland, and there are also floods here in Sanzang, and I sincerely pray that the disaster will pass soon!
