Chapter 216 The Township Exam Begins
Seeing Li Bai leave the Ling Palace, the Dynasty and Mahan immediately came forward.
Wang Chao asked: "Mr. Li, did you encounter something? Why are your face..."
"I'm fine, let's go back first."
The Chao and Ma Han were puzzled, but they could only follow Li Bai back to their inn.
In the inn, Li Bai asked: "King of Ling Gao Changgong, is he the queen's confidant?"
"We don't know anything about this... but what we know is that Gao Changgong is very strong, and he is in the northwest. He is the most powerful among the major princes."
"Zeng Xiangye Gao wants to write a letter to the emperor to weaken the King of Ling's troops, for fear that he will plot to rebel."
"This matter was left aside by the emperor. The emperor did not take this matter to heart. Instead, he also valued Gao Changgong."
"Of course! Gao Changgong has indeed made great achievements in guarding the Western Xinjiang for many years..."
"Slow down." Li Bai pondered for a long time, and he looked at Wang Chao and asked, "Do you still remember...we encountered that little tiger in Chang'an City before?"
"Which little tiger?" Wang Chao was puzzled and didn't remember.
Li Bai said: "You just say that his superior is Su Lie and Pei Qinhu, have you forgotten?"
"Oh! You said that little tiger under General Su's seat? Remember, what's wrong?"
"He asked me to send a letter to Su Lie before. The reason why he went to Chang'an City was because someone issued an order in Chang'an to remove Su Lie's identity as a general."
"Just after that order came out, Su Lie was indeed injected into the cold palace, which later led to a group of demon seeds entering the Great Wall."
"After these demons entered Dongtu, they began to do things that were angry and resentful in Dongtu."
"In order to investigate who issued the order, Su Lie arranged for Pei Qinhu to go to Chang'an City, hoping that he could meet the emperor in person and find out the inner demon who colluded with the demon species."
"It seems that I have roughly guessed it." Li Bai said with a little ugly face.
"Um?"
Neither of them knew whether Li Bai was analyzing or explaining something, and they were stunned.
The Dynasty asked, "You mean this..."
"I didn't say anything, and today I just pretend that I haven't been to the Lingwang Mansion."
"We will go to Chang'an after the imperial examinations are completed."
"Um?"
"Do as I said."
"Yes, then we're ready."
Li Bai calmed down and always felt that there were many dangers in Western Xinjiang. First, it was the threat from Gao Changgong, secondly, it was the threat from the demon species, and then the threat from the potential sword immortal Li Bai.
Under these various threats, Li Bai had to leave Western Xinjiang quickly and waited to become a juren.
Only by becoming a juren can one be considered to have the ability to protect oneself in the true sense.
Tomorrow is the day for the provincial examination, but Li Bai feels like he can't see it.
When Li Bai was sitting all night and was a little tired, he finally felt a little sleepy.
When I woke up, it was dawn.
Li Bai cleaned up and started rushing to the examination room.
In the provincial examination, Jiangling Prefecture, all the prefectures and counties who passed the imperial examinations and became scholars rushed to the imperial examination site.
Today, the number of people taking the exam is nearly 200,000, and these 200,000 are all scholars from Western Xinjiang. Of course! This is just a group of scholars, and some scholars think that their abilities are not enough.
There is no need to come to the provincial examination, but most of these people are a minority.
There are also millions of students who are still working hard for the county examination at this time.
Every three years, a large number of students always come to Jiangling, so Jiangling has become the most lively place during this period.
Li Bai brought his examination number to Jiangling Prefecture College. This prefecture college is a provincial college. This time, due to the excessive number of people taking the exam, he conducted the assessment in the prefecture college and the prefecture square.
This assessment not only has no loopholes, but on the contrary it is even more strict. Everyone who enters the examination room will be searched.
It will take two or three hours to enter the examination room and search for the body.
Fortunately, they all came in early.
The examiners of this assessment were Zheng Jianhua, the prefect of Jiangling, and Chen Haiyang, the Tongzhi, and others.
There are several more items in the provincial examination, one of which is the policy theory, which is an extremely important assessment in the provincial examination.
Before it was announced, no one knew what to write about this policy.
Even if the prime minister is a noble person or even the cabinet bosses, they don’t know what the specific policy is about.
Because this was completely researched by the Imperial College students and published in the examination room.
Even the current examiners don’t know what these policy statements should be written.
However, when it comes to the provincial examination, the level is not generally high, and the test papers submitted by everyone have to undergo layers of strict screening.
In order to be fair and just, the court arranged imperial envoys to come in the Gongyuan and major areas below, in order to allow people from all sides to review the test papers fairly and justly and prevent some impure-minded people from making trouble.
After Li Bai sat down, he began to wait for the examiner to start distributing the test papers.
The imperial envoy from above was Fang Liang, the Grand Secretary of the Imperial College.
A real old bachelor, who has been in the Imperial College for many years, selected real talents for the country and recommended them to the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel has assigned important tasks to the people below and arranged them to take up their posts and go to work in the local area.
He is a truly good person.
After entering the venue, he first glanced at everyone below and turned around to stand on the platform. Although he was a little old, his character was quite strong.
Fang Liang said loudly: "The provincial examination once every three years has some minor problems in the Ministry of Rites in August, so it has been postponed to this day."
"This is equivalent to the court sympathizing with students, giving you more months to review, letting you read more books of sages, and hoping to get a good grade."
"I saw that all the students' faces were full of energy, and I thought I should have made sufficient preparations and come prepared."
"Then now... I announced that the provincial examination has officially begun."
"Those who obtain the Jie Yuan of Western Xinjiang can receive a bounty of 100 taels and white silk from the government."
"Those who are famous on the B list can all go to the capital to participate in the imperial examination in February and March next year."
"I hope all students can cheer up. Whether it is for the sake of honor or fame, they cannot do without your hard work."
"Next, the provincial examination begins."
After Fang Liang's words were finished, more than 20 yamen runners began to come to the main examiners, with more than 200,000 test papers here.
These test papers have not been opened and have seals on them, which are intact.
If these seals are lost, it means that there are problems with this batch of test papers.
Therefore, whether it is the person who transports the test papers or packs the test papers, you must be careful about these seals.
The test paper was torn apart, and a rich fragrance of pen and ink came from it...
Everyone knew... the gate of the imperial examination was opened to them, and it depends on whether they could stand out from it.
Chapter completed!
