The other party sold the chessboard that he regarded as a treasure back then, and Yu Yuanbu was about to be furious, but when he heard that Lei Heni had not been easy over the years, the anger that erupted immediately disappeared.

Lei Heni was also a person on the imperial examination list back then, but he was unable to eat and wear, and he had a very bad time these years, at most he could barely make ends meet, Yu Yuanbu considered it from the other party's point of view, and his heart was relieved.

"I blamed you for it, and I thought you looked down on my broken chess, so I sold the chessboard, but I didn't expect you to survive. Yu Yuanbu expressed his apologies, he had just misunderstood the other party.

"It's really ashamed to say that I have been reading the sages for decades, and I have devoted my whole life to studying books, but in the end I can't get enough food and clothing, but those who don't learn and like to flatter have become high-ranking officials and become famous all over the world. If it weren't for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess issuing a new decree to get rid of the pests that corroded the Yan Kingdom, I would rather die of old age than bend my waist for eight buckets of rice!" Lei Heni seems to be an old man, still iron-clad, unwilling to bow his head like a bad guy and be a person he once hated.

"I have similar thoughts to you, I hope that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will not dislike us for being too old, otherwise I will miss the desire to serve the country in this life, I have been fantasizing about this day for so many years, but I hope that the only thought in my life will be fulfilled, and there will be no regrets after death. Yu Yuanbu said.

The two and the young students rushed to the examination room together, and at the moment of stepping through the door of the examination room, it was like entering the battlefield for them, and they had to go all out in order to stand out among the many outstanding students.

Yan has a large population, but there are not many bachelors who can study and succeed, and there are only more than 20,000 bachelors who rushed to the imperial city to take the exam, including the old and the young, because there is no age limit this time, as long as there is talent, they can come to participate in the scientific examination.

The temporary examination room, located on the west gate city wall, demolished a large number of abandoned houses and vacated a large square that could accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time, just to be used for students to take exams.

And the exam may last for ten days and half a month, during which students are not allowed to leave the examination room, they can only sleep in their own places, but someone will bring them meals, and if they go to the thatched house, they will be accompanied by guards, and only one person at a time, in order to prevent them from cheating.

The reason why this time is longer than the previous scientific examination is that the imperial court is in urgent need of a group of outstanding talents, and many subjects have been added to the story, so that students can answer seriously, so as to screen the best and outstanding ones layer by layer.

They can't become officials immediately after the exam, they have to pass Yan Cai'er's test, otherwise everything they have done before will be in vain.

It seems to be an extremely strict exam, but if you can really pass the customs, the results obtained are also huge, so it is called the fastest promotion in history, and it is also the most difficult.

"All of you here are the future pillars of Yan Guo, so that you can take the topic seriously, have plenty of time, don't rush to put down the pen, so as not to be heartbroken. ”

Yu Yuan paused, and said loudly to the scholars again: "As the supervisor of this time, I will always supervise your every move, if you have any needs, or where you are uncomfortable, you can raise your hand to report, don't make small moves, I am not the only one around me who is staring at you, if I catch you cheating, hehe...... Congratulations on getting ten years of free labor reform, but that's not what I want to see, after all, you are all useful talents, even if you can't pass the imperial examination this time, you can still vote for the people who are admitted to the imperial examination, and you can also serve Yan Guo, so as not to bury your talent. Then I won't waste your time, the exam starts now!"

The paper of the examination questions was handed out to each of the scholars, and then pushed to the periphery to help supervise the scholars to see if anyone was cheating.

Even if the bachelors cheat in the examination room, if they don't have any real skills in front of Yan Caier, they won't be able to pass her level, so it is a waste of time to cheat secretly in the examination room, and you have to worry about whether you will be caught.

"How's it going?" Yan Cai'er and Zhou Geng appeared on the wall of the West Gate at some point, looking down at the hard-working bachelors below.

"Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, everything is going well!" Yu Yuan bowed.

"It's good if it goes well, some of them are future civil and military officials, if there is any need, try to meet them, and if you encounter troublemakers, you can blast them out directly, and don't affect the performance of other bachelors. Yan Cai'er commanded.

"Yes!" Yu Yuan also invested 12 points of energy in this scientific expedition, and he could not tolerate any sloppiness, he knew that Yan Guo urgently needed this group of talents, if something went wrong, even if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess did not punish him, she would not be able to spare herself.

"There are some spies sent by the enemy country inside, who use disguise techniques to disguise themselves as natives of the Yan country, whether they want to find them out and destroy them. Zhou Geng's eyes were shining, and he scanned the entire examination room and said.

Yan Cai'er's eyes gradually became sharp, staring at Yu Yuan and asking, "What's going on? Didn't you say that you can't participate in the scientific examination without the verification certificate of the local yamen? Could it be that you have also been bribed!"

Yu Yuan was so frightened that his legs were weak, and what he was most worried about still happened, and he explained in horror: "Micro ...... Wechen did follow your intentions, and asked people to check the certificates of each bachelor, and did not find anything abnormal, as for how they got in, Wechen is not clear, please forgive Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"

Zhou Geng said: "These people are all cultivators, not to mention their strength, if they want to get a document to prove their identity, it is very easy, ordinary people can't see the disguise technique they have performed at all, so they can't blame Yu for dereliction of duty." ”

Yu Yuan pinched a cold sweat for himself, and Zhou interceded with him, he believed that he should not be punished, and thought that he must thank the other party when he turned back.

In fact, Zhou Geng only said a fact, and did not mean to intercede for anyone, but simply explained how the enemy got in, and didn't think too much about it at all.

Zhou Geng said that although Yan Cai'er would not ask Yu Yuan's guilt again, "Don't make a noise for the time being, so as not to frighten the surrounding bachelors, and when they finish this exam, we will not be too late to do it." ”

Yan Cai'er wantonly took in the poor people of other countries, and she had already expected that some secret agents would take the opportunity to sneak in, because the current Yan Kingdom is the best time to place undercover agents, and after this stage, there will not be such a good time.
