The emperor is here!

Everyone present was shocked and fell off their chins, especially those who watched the fun. Their faces were the most shocked. Why did the emperor come? Is this civil servant exam really that important?

The person who had just left in shame didn't go far. When he heard the news, he turned around and ran back.

Sun Chengzong and Li Yiqi also heard this voice. A hint of disbelief flashed across Li Yiqi's face, and then there was a surprise. Sun Chengzong smiled faintly. As expected, he was right.

Sitting in the imperial chariot, Zhu Yijun looked outside, but he had never seen anyone before. Then he realized that he had come and must clean the street. Putting down the curtain, Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that everything would go smoothly this time!

After getting off the imperial chariot, Zhu Yijun looked far away, and there were indeed many people gathered there.

Hai Rui and Xu Wenchang were still waiting there. When they saw Zhu Yijun coming in, they quickly knelt down to greet him. After waved their hands, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Get up! Take me in and take a look."

The group entered the tribute courtyard, and then the people who were kneeling in the distance stood up from the ground.

Li Yiqi said excitedly: "The Emperor is here, the Emperor is really here!"

Sun Chengzong didn't say anything. They were far away from there. Although his eyes were good, because he was kneeling, he could only see a man in a yellow dragon robe walking in. But he also knew that it was the emperor.

“Enter!”

The emperor has entered, and it is time for the officials to enter, but this time the inspection is stricter than when the imperial examination was held.

After taking the exam basket from the person searching, Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief, found the exam room with his license plate, and walked in. He looked around and saw that the atmosphere of the exam here was really different.

There are five steps and ten steps and one whistle. The guards stand, and each one stands like a javelin, motionless.

The aisle was inspecting a group of men in black. Sun Chengzong didn't know what these people were doing, and they didn't look like invigilators. However, judging from the current situation, they should be invigilators.

"The Emperor is here!"

With a sharp shout, the officials hurried out of the examination room and knelt respectfully in the aisle.

Zhu Yijun walked out of it and said loudly: "Today's civil service examination should be adopted to select the best and eliminate fraud and personal gain. You and others are all pillars of the country. You should try your best to refer to it and strive to pass the exam."

After saying a few simple words, Zhu Yijun turned around and went back. The event itself was a show.

Whether you hear it or not, or hear it clearly or not, it will definitely be the emperor's personal counsel when it is spread out in the future. This title is amazing and will probably cause people outside to fall off their chin. This is enough. This time I come here, it is more symbolic than practical.

"The exam starts, unpack the papers!"

With the shouting again, the sealed test paper was opened and then sent one by one by the man in black.

Zhu Yijun was drinking tea in the back hall at this time. Seeing Hai Rui and the other three were there, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, do whatever you should do. I don't need you to be here to accompany me."

"By the way, if you have any excellent test papers, you can show it to me!"

The three of them bowed and said, "I obey the order!" Then they turned around and walked out.

After Sun Chengzong got the test paper, he found that there were five sheets of paper, each sheet had a test question, and the answers below were the answers. Without rushing to answer the questions, Sun Chengzong was preparing to take a look at all the five questions.

What Sun Chengzong did not expect was that the test questions were not poetry or policy discussion at all, but people's livelihood.

For example, the first question is, where is the land in Daxing County and what kind of grain is suitable for planting?

The problem seems very simple, but Sun Chengzong knew that this question alone was enough to make people scratch their heads. However, Sun Chengzong was not worried. He was from Gaoyang and belonged to Baoding Prefecture, Northern Zhili.

In addition, I have been in the capital over the years, and I still know what to plant in Daxing.

As for Daxing County, most of the land is mountainous and forested, and most of the land is reclaimed. As long as people who have a little understanding of people's livelihood can definitely answer this. After all, most of the people who refer to civil servants this time are scholars from Shuntian Prefecture.

The following questions are also about people's livelihood, such as transfer of money and grain, local stability maintenance, and criminal cases. From the topic, we can see that this civil servant is a pragmatic official. After reading the topic, Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, I have bet right. It’s better not to do eight-legged essays. I have confidence in these topics.

Picking up the pen, Sun Chengzong started writing on the straw paper, and then waited for a while to copy it on the test paper.

Li Yiqi, who was sitting in the distance in the exam room, looked at the questions and felt happy. These questions couldn't help him. After reading them a few times, he had already written a draft in his heart and started to copy the test paper.

"Anyone who has finished answering can submit the paper in advance, and you can leave after submitting the paper. The results will be released tomorrow at noon!"

About half an hour later, greetings rang out in the aisle, allowing all the candidates to understand that they can hand in the paper after the answer?

About an hour later, Sun Chengzong read the copied test paper and nodded with satisfaction. On the test paper, Sun Chengzong not only wrote down the current method, but also wrote down his own improvement opinions.

Turning his head and looking at the exam room around him, some of the officials had already handed in the papers, and Sun Chengzong also began to pack up his own things.

After finishing the things, Sun Chengzong took his own test basket and test papers out of the test room, and led by the black-clothed invigilator to the front. There were three tables here, and there was a person sitting behind each table.

"All three adults can collect the papers, and you can hand them over to anyone!" the black-clothed invigilator reminded.

Sun Chengzong nodded and placed a paper with the old man in the middle. The old man had a very majestic face, no expression on his face, and his eyes were very sharp. Sun Chengzong didn't know who this person was, but he thought that he should be the chief examiner when he was sitting in the middle.

After calling the paper, Sun Chengzong left the gate, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked away with a smile.

Hai Rui, who took the paper, looked at it, nodded and said, "If you don't talk about anything else, this writing is still very good!" After saying that, he looked down at the paper, looked at the first one, and nodded with satisfaction.

After reading the second picture, he nodded again with satisfaction. After reading the five pictures, Hai Rui smiled on his face.

"Wild talent, Your Majesty is really far-sighted!" Hai Rui turned over the paper and said with a smile.

Xu Wenchang and Lu Shenxing were both stunned. It was really not easy to make this person praise others, even if they were praises to the emperor. This made the two of them curious about the paper. What kind of person made Hai Rui say this.

"Show me!" Xu Wenchang was not so polite and took the paper from Hai Rui's hand.

After Xu Wenchang finished reading it, he stroked his beard and praised: "Okay, very good, this person is really a talent!"

Lu Shenxing also wanted to see it, but he was young and of a low seniority and did not dare to reach out to grab it. He could only look at Xu Wenchan. When Xu Wenchang saw this scene, he smiled and handed the paper to Lu Shenxing.

"Okay, it's so good to write!" Lu Shenxing also exclaimed loudly.

"Are you going to accept this paper for Your Majesty?" Lu Shenxing looked at the two of them and spoke.

Hai Rui and Xu Wenchang looked at each other, then said, "Okay, go! Young man, it will be beneficial to have more contact with His Majesty. This is a chance for you, go quickly!"

Xu Wenchang waved his hand and said, "What are you looking at? We are supporting you!"

Lu Shenxing looked at Xu Wenchang and bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Xu!"

Although he said so, Lu Shenxing didn't believe what Xu Wenchang said. Through this period of contact, Lu Shenxing almost understood the routines of these two old men. Hai Rui was rigid and serious, while Xu Wenchang was good at planning, but he was also a little playful.

A large part of the reason why he asked himself to send it is because he was too lazy to move, and another reason is that he was waiting to look at the new paper.

Lu Shenxing didn't care about these things and went to the back with the paper. He felt that the paper should be shown for the emperor.

Seeing Lu Shenxing walking in, holding a paper in his hand, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Is there a paper so good one?"

"Back to the emperor, I have read this test paper and Lord Hai and Lord Xu. I think it is very good. I will give it to the emperor for reading it!" As he said that, Lu Shenxing respectfully presented the test paper.

Zhu Yijun took the test paper with a smile and glanced at the name. Zhu Yijun was stunned. Sun Chengzong? This name was so famous in the late Ming Dynasty. Could it be that Sun Chengzong? No! Why did he come here to take the civil service exam?

"Does there be any information about Sun Chengzong?" Zhu Yijun glanced at Lu Shenxing and asked.

"I'll go find it now!" Although Lu Shenxing didn't know why the emperor looked for this person's information without even reading the test paper, he knew that it was the most appropriate way to find it himself.

When Zhu Yijun saw Lu Diaoyang go out, he picked up the test paper in his hand and started reading it.

After reading the test paper, Zhu Yijun sighed. No matter whether this person was the Sun Chengzong he thought of, this person was a talented person! After pondering for a while, Zhu Yijun smiled. Is it something that Sun Chengzong has to do? Anyway, it’s enough to use talents.

When Lu Shenxing came back, he held a list in his hand and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have found it."

Zhu Yijun nodded and signaled Lu Shenxing to continue speaking.

"Go back to Your Majesty, Sun Chengzong, everyone in Gaoyang, Baoding Prefecture, Northern Zhili, with his name Zhisheng." Lu Shenxing took his name and introduced Sun Chengzong's basic information, then raised his head and looked at Zhu Yijun, waiting for his orders.

Zhu Yijun just figured it out and waved his hand with a smile: "The paper is good, you can take it and judge it!"

Lu Shenxing was stunned. The emperor was very interested just now, but he didn't dare to ask. He took Sun Chengzong's test and bowed and said, "Then I will take my leave!" He said, bowed and retreated.
