The day finally dawned, and this day was a day of great cadres and the whole country's attention.

The first imperial examination after reunification, and the selection of a large number of students, this news shocked the world.

Of course, what is not clear to mortals is that such resources have nothing to do with them.

The vast majority of the selected lists announced are immortal cultivators, mixed with a few children of the scholar clan.

And in the eyes of mortals, what was not selected was just "abnormal performance".

Today is the palace examination, which also means that this imperial examination ended perfectly.

The place where the palace test was held was not the usual place to go to court, Xu Mochen found another palace and barely put up hundreds of tables.

At the same time, there were also courtiers who participated, but because of the number of courtesies, Xu Mochen did not arrange seats for them this time.

Then there is the emperor, and the indispensable "harem political group" as a faint monarch.

When the hour came, the selected students representing the Great Qianwen Dao entered the main hall in order.

On each table, the name number has been pasted, and everyone knows their own position, so there were no accidents on the scene, and they were seated steadily.

Everything was ready, and it was Xu Mochen's turn to say the opening remarks.

He smiled and sat on the top seat, flanked by Concubine De and Concubine Xian, as well as Zhao Lingbo, the lord of Yong'an.

The members of the council are waiting in the apse.

Xu Mochen's gaze slowly swept over the students.

These students are still seeing the emperor for the first time, although the faint monarch has long been famous.

Originally, they didn't have much reverence for the emperor, but Xu Mochen had been very strong in the past two years, and the matter of killing several departments was not widely publicized, but it was not a secret in the Ten Directions World.

Everyone is looking to see what an emperor who can cultivate immortals is like.

Oh! looks like a little white face, the demeanor is still good.

Xu Mochen didn't care, he smiled and said: "You all have first-class results in this imperial examination.

In today's palace test, I don't really have any big ideas, it's just to meet everyone in advance.

In the future, when you enter the official career and become a court official, we will still have many opportunities to meet. ”

Everyone didn't expect him to open his mouth from here, and they all pricked up their ears to listen.

"Today is a good day," Xu Mochen said eloquently, "It is said that the fish leaps over the dragon gate, and it is the current scene, which is gratifying." ”

Everyone muttered, Your Majesty, we are not a fish leaping into the dragon gate, we are a dragon and a tiger.

There is nothing to congratulate, today's results are all expected by us.

Xu Mochen ignored their thoughts and continued his speech: "There are some things that I didn't plan to say on such a festive day.

But for the sake of the great cadres, for the sake of the world, and for the sake of the people, I thought about it and felt that I still had to talk about it.

This man is always going to change.

For example, before the reunification of the Great Cadres, the whole court worked together to resist the enemy, and this achieved the great unification.

It is a pity that after the unification and comfort, some of the ministers did not want to make progress and did a lot of out-of-the-ordinary things.

I don't want to deal with them, but what can I do?

The mouth of the world can't be blocked all. ”

Saying that, he stood up: "The eyes of the masses are bright, so what I want to tell you here is.

Don't think that if you win the imperial examination and enter the official career, everything will be worry-free.

Remember, behind you are the people, and on your shoulders are the people.

The key to success or failure lies not in me, but in the people of the world. ”

……

I don't know why, everyone felt a faint coercion spread out in the main hall.

The emperor is not speaking of an opening statement, but of a warning, and a naked warning.

It was the first time they had dealt with Xu Mochen, and now they had really seen the character of the Son of Heaven.

When a leader speaks, half an hour is certainly not enough.

After Xu Mochen finished beating, he didn't forget to remind the prime minister: "What does Aiqing think." ”

The corners of the prime minister's mouth twitched a few times: "Your Majesty's earnest (fist) teachings, the students will definitely benefit a lot." ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Mochen sat down with satisfaction and waved his hand to start the palace test.

The questions of this temple exam were also personally written by him, and they were more targeted.

Of course, the exam questions are different from the National Teacher Unified Recruitment Examination held by him.

After the announcement on the spot, these elite students either pondered, or put pen to paper, or worked hard to write.

The scene was quiet, Xu Mochen stood up and looked along the table one by one.

I have to say that these people still have strength, at least the words they write, all of them are calligraphers.

As for the content written, each has its own focus, but Xu Mochen read it carefully several times, but it did not break through the existing framework.

The background of the times was there, and he didn't say anything.

It was a long time to come and go, and it was getting late.

Electric lights had already been installed in the main hall, and when it was dusk, all of them were turned on, and the room was bright.

Finally, a student finished the manuscript and presented the written paper respectfully.

The originally quiet hall seemed to have a hint of vitality, and gradually emitted movement.

One by one, the students handed in the papers, which were sealed by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

These volumes, after a preliminary review, will be sent to the emperor eventually.

The champions of the list of the eyes of the flowers, of course, have to be hand-picked by the emperor.

Even in the top ten, Xu Mochen has the right to decide.

However, these are just the rankings of the exam, and you have to practice step by step to become an official in the future.

As for the ranking after the top ten, the emperor is generally just looking at it, and there are also those who choose to choose some of them, especially those who are promoted.

Xu Mochen didn't have that mind, the left and right were the process of immortal cultivators, and he was done.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, worried that there would be a problem in the palace examination, and now he saw that everything was normal.

The students and courtiers withdrew one by one in order, and Xu Mochen returned to the palace and waited for the final result from the Ministry of Rites.

If you are a mortal, it will take a lot of time to read these scrolls, but immortal cultivators are very fast.

What's more, they can determine the level by virtue of their literary style.

An hour later, Xu Mochen received the final list.

opened it and took a look, and the first place was indeed Ouyang Yongren.

Xu Mochen has read this person's article, and it is indeed very in line with the way of a sage.

The second place is Liu Yong, who is the leader in the grammar sect.

The third name is named Zhou Sheng, and behind this person, the Ministry of Rites added a little explanation, he is the descendant of the first sage Zhou Gong.

Xu Mochen was slightly surprised, this first generation of Zhou Gong was an immortal cultivator three thousand years ago.

Naturally, there were saints before Duke Zhou, but the Ten Directions World was destroyed once in three thousand years, and it was too permanent to exist, and it would not remain unchanged.

After the name, Xu Mochen didn't look closely.

"Your Majesty," Tang Derun set the pen and inkstone, "it's time for you to appoint." ”

Xu Mochen lifted the pen and seemed to smile: "Aiqing thinks that I should determine the final ranking." ”
