And in the pickaxe capital, thousands of people who came from the provincial capital were waiting for the date of the Ministry of Rites to take the test.

Inside and outside the Imperial City, after discussing with Jiuqing, Jingwu Tianzi also determined the chief examiner and the three deputy examiner candidates this time.

The examination questions of this session of the Ministry of Rites will be formulated at the same time!

The same examiner selected 15 people from the Institute of Culture and Sports.

Each of these fifteen people must have a clean background, and they are young Jinshi.

The task of these fellow examiners is to help seal, transcribe, and proofread...... and so on, that is, as an assistant to the four examiners.

However, after the questions of the imperial examination came out, these 19 people had to be strictly monitored by the imperial court, so as not to do something during this period of time that would affect the fairness of the imperial court's selection of talents.

At this time, all the attention inside and outside Hojing was temporarily withdrawn from the festering battlefield in the south, and it fell back on this spring meeting.

Many experienced lifters are in a hurry to prepare.

The early spring is still extremely cold, and staying in a closed examination room for nine days and six nights in such a cold night requires perseverance and some preparation, otherwise it is easy to fall down in the middle of the field.

Every year, there are such unlucky eggs, who faint in the examination room in the middle of the way, and they must not miss the triennial imperial examination.

The schedule of the Ministry of Rites will be similar to that of the township test, which is also held in three sessions, one on three days, and three test items, with four books, five words and eight rhymes, six scriptures and different questions.

It's a personal effort.

Whether it is the township test or the Ministry of Rites examination, it is the night before the admission, in a small cramped place, you have to stay overnight, eating, drinking and Lazar are all completed in it.

However, this is not a problem for Zhang Jian.

Immortal cultivators are better at this point than others.

……

The eighth day of the second month of February finally came quietly in the midst of many calls.

The cold night is dark, but the torches are like dragons!

In front of the Guozi Jian Gong Courtyard, the dragon gate was slowly opening.

In front of the dragon gate, thousands of people crowded outside, many of them were wearing velvet hats, holding a small stove in their hands, and there were close-fitting little people carrying the examination basket, and the examination basket was pen and ink, or some dry food, as neat and concise as possible.

The more concise it is, the fewer procedures you will have to go into.

Zhang Jian is no exception, he is wearing a satin blue velvet robe, and a hair crown is tied with a hosta on his head, although there is no formal crowning ceremony, but who can question this matter at this time.

"Brother Zhang, how do you feel?"

Next to Shi Lun, Zhanxiong and several other people from the southern counties were here, and Shi Lun smiled at this time.

A few people around him also looked at him.

During this period of time, everyone knew that although the young man in front of him was younger than all of them, he was full of wealth and talent.

If you say that among the people in the field, who has the best hope of passing the ritual examination and going straight to the palace examination, the young man in front of him is definitely at the top.

Facing the eyes of everyone, Zhang Jian just smiled.

"Three watches, five watches, ten years of hard work to see the present!"

"Yes, today!"

Shi Lun and others were also very encouraged.

Many people next to him were also smiling when they heard this.

At this moment, the noise of several gongs and drums was accompanied by the dragon gate, and the voice of the official came loudly.

"The dragon gate is opened, please raise people to enter in line, all the things on your body are prepared in advance, please do not entrain, otherwise once detected, it will be sent to the Hojing Mansion, please remove the fame of the imperial court, and never be hired!"

At this time, there was also a team of elite soldiers of the city defense who were continuously transferred from the surrounding area and began to settle in the tribute courtyard.

Zhang Jian also vaguely felt the fluctuations of the divine power of the gods from the surroundings.

In front of the dragon gate, one by one the prison guards were already in place and began to check the belongings carried by the lifters.

In fact, everyone has experienced this kind of thing.

These inspections are extremely strict, even dry food will be broken, one by one, and the rice grains must be checked to see if there is any handwriting.

Zhang Jian noticed that there were still several Taoists and martial artists of the Cave God Temple beside them in front of the Dragon Gate, each holding a few magic weapons, as if they were screening something.

Seeing this, Zhang Jian didn't care, he could sense that the thousands of people present were actually many internal martial artists, and there were also some immortal cultivators with spiritual energy flowing in their bodies.

Obviously, the Great Cadres Dynasty will not reject their kind of existence, but it is a state of thirst for talent.

That's a special skill.

If you take the initiative to expose, in fact, you will also be a bonus point for special recruitment, and you don't need to go through the imperial examination, you can directly take up some special official positions.

……

The long queue was long and thousands of people went to the exam together, this scene was so spectacular, but it would also be particularly difficult, many people stood in the cold wind in front of the dragon gate for several hours, but there was still a long distance from the dragon gate, it was really hard.

The only thing that can solve the boredom may be the growing number of hawkers around it, as well as the family rolls of many large families.

It is not difficult to understand that some hawkers gather around, and whenever this time the vendors in Hojing can find business opportunities, they will sell pen, ink, paper, inkstone, followed by all kinds of dry food and exquisite dim sum.

There is also a temporary queuing service, which is for those who queue for too long and can't bear to need to get on the tuba to prepare for it, and you can't really pee your pants in order to queue.

The weather is so cold, and there are so many people watching, it is Sven sweeping the floor.

But even if there is a substitute queue, the first thing many people do after entering the Gongyuan is to sprint 100 meters to win the right to use the small gong bucket.

When Zhang Jian entered, the sky was already slightly bright.

He first went to the red list of the Gongyuan to find his own examination institute and examination number, and after making sure that there was no problem, he went to the main hall of the Guozijian to line up.

According to the rules, before the spring exam, there will be many people brought by the examiner to meet the sages who are worshiped by the national eunuch.

Above the sages and gods in this country, Zhang Jian clearly felt the fluctuations of the divine power of wisps of incense, and in addition to this, there was also pure and incomparably righteous qi.

Under the leadership of four purple-robed officials, thousands of people also gathered in a huge area at this time to start the last step before completing the Spring Exam.

Then the gantry was officially closed.

The nine-day, six-night exam officially began at this time.

……

Zhang Lu had been standing outside the dragon gate, and when he saw Zhang Jian enter it, he breathed a sigh of relief when the dragon gate was closed.

Zhang Lu's eyes were still a little ambitious.

He is quite confident in Zhang Jian, he has seen with his own eyes how his Langjun has come along the way.

The next thing is to wait quietly for the news.

He was ready to take the opportunity to go back and write a letter to report the situation to the patriarch Zhang Yi and report that he was safe.

I was just about to go back, but I saw a beautiful woman walking in front of me, this woman behaved dignifiedly, at first glance, she was from a rich and noble family, and she still had a delicate hairpin on her head, I saw her smile and asked.

"This little brother, your family Langjun is surnamed Zhang, and he is the famous young man in Fengyang County??"
