On the outskirts of the capital, a carriage was driving slowly, followed by two people on horseback, who were Xu Mochen and his party in disguise.

Since they are pretending, they must have a good appearance, Mi Luo pretended to be a woman, but they became a little son, and Xu Mochen and Tang Derun looked like slaves.

This imperial examination, for the first time since the reunification, is unprecedented, and the Ministry of Rites is also very fast, in addition to collecting a large number of homestays, it has also expanded the suburban post station as a foothold for students.

Of course, inns or places with good conditions should be reserved for immortal cultivators, and post stations with average conditions have become the territory of scholars of the scholar clan.

When Xu Mochen and the others arrived, they saw that there were many carriages parked near the post station, and there were also a lot of horses.

Coming in and out of the door were a group of people dressed as students.

Tang Derun went to arrange it and quickly booked a room.

Xu Mochen and Mi Luo settled the carriage and went to the room to stay first.

The room was not big, just a bed and a small table and chairs.

It is mainly reserved for the master who is rushing to take the exam, and a slave like Xu Mochen usually has to squeeze the big bed.

Naturally, these are also going through the motions and won't really live there.

After settling down, Mi Luo took the two of them to the hall with Xu Mochen.

The cost of holding the imperial examination is relatively sufficient, so the food provided by the post station is good, and the place in the hall has many tables that are basically full of people.

They are all scholars from various states, and many are on their way.

The first to come, has been living here for a few days, they are very familiar with each other, while eating, talking and joking.

"After the reunification of the Great Cadres, four years have passed since I think about it, and this time the imperial examination can be said to be of great concern to everyone."

"Today, when the son of the saint is enlightened, he governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and opens the way of the saints, this is the situation where the rule of culture will be prosperous."

"Brother Tai, this can only be said halfway, and the people of the capital have mixed evaluations of the emperor."

"Not to mention anything else, the students are deeply recognized by His Majesty's hybrid rice."

"Farming is the foundation of the great work, think about the emperors of all dynasties, have never done anything like it."

"There are also medicines from national medical centers and pharmaceutical factories that are very unusual and inexpensive, but they have cured many incurable diseases."

"These are all certain, but the rule of the Ming monarch is still based on the way of the sage, and the flow of Qi Yin's skills will not be able to reach the stage of elegance after all."

"What kind of electric lights are also installed in this post station, it is very bright at night, the wind does not extinguish the water, and it is eye-opening."

"It is said that for this kind of electricity, the barren land of Lanzhou has built a large project, which has cost the people and money."

"Be careful! Be careful! This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, brother, some words, it is better to be careful."

Someone finished, and everyone did not continue to discuss the emperor.

Mi Luo looked at Xu Mochen with a smile: "Look at it, you faint gentleman still has a bit of complicated discussions."

Xu Mochen did not answer.

The students in the hall turned to another topic.

"The holy decree said that this time the imperial examination will admit a large number of talents, whether it is the Hanlin Academy, the history books, or the decentralization, are there so many places that need officials?"

"I heard that the prime minister and others took the lead in proposing to increase the government agencies of various states and counties, so looking at it this way, it is natural that many officials are needed."

"Although there are many admissions, you see, there are also many students who come to catch the exam."

"I don't know what the question is, in the troubled times of the past few hundred years, the literature and Taoism have collapsed, and the focus of the exams in various countries is different, this time, it is difficult to guess the scope of the questions."

"No matter how difficult it is, you can't get rid of the way of the saints, those ancient books and classics, read and memorize them by heart."

"I don't know who came up with the question, is there any inside story?"

"You don't understand this, if there is a doorway, there is naturally a doorway......

Xu Mochen listened and couldn't help frowning: "Could it be that the test questions of the imperial examination will still be leaked?"

Tang Derun was embarrassed: "It shouldn't be, question."

If you want to do it, Your Majesty personally circled it, gave it to the Ministry of Rites, and sealed it, even immortal cultivators can't see it.

It's just ......."

After all, this is a world where immortals can be cultivated, and some immortal cultivators may have special supernatural powers, and he doesn't dare to guarantee it 100%.

Xu Mochen has read history books and knows some of the tricks in the imperial examination, especially in this era, the means of preventing cheating are not high.

"I just asked casually," Xu Mochen didn't get angry, "It's just that Aiqing will go back and check privately."

If fraud broke out in the first imperial examination, it would be a slap in the face.

I can hear the following conversation, and it changes again.

"If I can leap into the dragon gate this time, the marriage with the Cui family will be decided."

"Alas, it's such a coincidence, and that's what my family means, and it's a little different to have a fame."

"They are all readers, don't you want to be so direct, it's insulting."

"Can Sven eat, Brother Xinze, I don't believe that you were still with your sister-in-law Sven that night in the cave room."

"I don't know, but everyone is the same, and it will inevitably be mediocre and straight up and down when the time comes."

A group of people burst into laughter.

"Sven scum," Mi Luo sneered, "It's not a good thing that there are many men, that's what I think about.

Unconscious, are you the same?"

Xu Mochen shook his head: "I don't need it."

"That's too, I miss my father, there are three thousand beauties in the harem," Mi Luo looked back at him, "There are only two concubines in your harem, and there are no girls around, is it not in good health?"

As he spoke, his eyes kept looking.

Xu Mochen's face was pale, what is this?

After the students finished discussing youth, they began to get to the point again.

"But this time, I don't know if the saint will come to the capital."

"Duke Zhou is a saint in the world, and the words of the imperial examination are related to Wendao, but Wendao is different from the official path, and the saint will not come."

"Instead, the students copied a lot of the latest sayings of the saints and bought them at a great price."

As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately became a sensation.

Everyone gathered around and watched as the man pulled out a pamphlet.

"I'll see...... Well, worthy of a saint, the debate is clear, and the truth is contained in it."

"The latest? That's first-hand."

"Copy it out and appreciate it together, maybe you can answer the exam questions this time."

"It's okay, don't forget the block."

"Brother Yiren, you already have a lot of money, do you care about such a small amount of money?"

"Yes, preaching the Tao is orthodox."

Everyone gossiped, and the student with the pamphlet was proud, and what he wanted was face.

Everyone put the table together, took out pen, ink, paper, inkstone, laid out the paper, and a student with good calligraphy volunteered to start transcribing.

This is ready to be hung out for everyone to enjoy and figure out, so the characters are written relatively large.

Words the size of a fist gradually appeared, and Xu Mochen found that there was a faint literary tone on the onlookers.
