Dayan Palace, the palace test was held as scheduled.

Hundreds of students sat on the top of the main hall, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone had already been prepared, and they quickly devoted themselves to answering the questions after taking their seats one by one according to the ranking.

The hall was silent, except for the faint sound of grinding ink and the occasional rustle of rice paper.

On both sides of the main hall stood more than a dozen people wearing civil court uniforms, in addition to the invigilators of the Ministry of Rites, there were also several ministers of the court headed by Zhou Xiang.

Dayan's current Son of Heaven is not yet fifty years old, there are a few shallow wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and there is a bit of elegance in his majesty, and now he is sitting on the dragon chair and skimming every student with a scrutinizing gaze.

The young students led by Shen Xingluo, Qin Zheng, Yu Heting and Guo Zijian are particularly prominent among the candidates with an average age of thirty or forty years old, both in terms of appearance and age.

The Son of Heaven narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze deliberately stayed on the young people in front for a moment, and he was immediately attracted by Shen Xingluo in the first row.

The 19-year-old boy was wearing a very simple green shirt, handsome, with a bit of a unique bookish atmosphere, his upper body was straight, and the brush under his hand did not pause, calmly.

Young, too young.

At the age of 19, he was able to enter the capital step by step from a small village and enter the main hall, which definitely deserves the title of "genius", not to mention .......

The Son of Heaven remembered something, and there was a little more novelty and expectation in his majestic eyes.

When he moved his gaze to another place, he was stunned, raised his hand, and the chief eunuch beside him immediately stepped forward.

"Your Majesty?"

"On the right side of the second row is the little nephew of Concubine Guan? I remember seeing him when he was a kid."

"Yes, the emperor is wise, that is the little prince of Qin."

"Send a letter to the concubine, and ask him to say goodbye to the concubine after the palace test."

"Yes."

The Son of Heaven looked at the young people in the Guozijian again, and his eyes, which were still a little warm, were a little sharper.

The chief eunuch next to him, who had been watching him change, couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his eyes, but he didn't see it.

The time of the palace examination is not long, only one strategy is examined, and the people who can be tested from the local level to the main hall are not generals, and this policy is actually also focused on examining the students' ability to play on the spot.

[In view of the general environment,

Of course, not being nervous or having stage fright is also an ability.

With the sound of a heavy gong, the official of the Ministry of Rites in charge of timing announced that the time for this examination was up, and all the students did not dare to stop and put down the brush in their hands.

Shen Xingluo, who was dressed in a green shirt, sat in his place, his eyes were surging as someone took the answer sheet in front of him and walked to the next person, noticing that there were many scrutinizing eyes falling on him.

After all the papers were collected, everyone exited the lounges on both sides of the hall in turn, which meant that the reading of the papers began.

Several examiners of the Ministry of Rites flipped through the test papers one by one, nodding and shaking their heads from time to time and exchanging opinions with each other, and selected the top few answer sheets as time passed.

"Your Majesty, this is the top ten answer sheets selected for this palace examination, please read it."

The examiner quickly presented a stack of answer sheets, and several people in charge of marking the papers began to whisper about the popular candidates for this scientific examination.

"Several students of Guozijian are really talented, and they have something to say, and they are worthy of being famous teachers."

"That little boy of the Qin family is also quite good, and his answers are very strange."

"I think that little Huiyuan from Lin'an Mansion answered the best."
