Xu Mochen nodded, and Tang Derun led the servants and left the hall with the scroll.
There was already a team of embroiderers waiting outside.
Tang Derun handed the scroll to the deputy commander and solemnly stated: "Make sure that the test questions are delivered to the test center as soon as possible without any mistakes."
The deputy commander took it respectfully, turned around and left.
This scroll will be sent to the Ministry of Rites, where the official in charge of invigilating the exam will open it on the spot and distribute it.
Ensure that there is no fraud to the greatest extent possible.
The completion of the ceremony means the end of the court meeting.
The ministers left in twos and threes amid laughter and laughter.
For them, the imperial examination is absolutely beneficial, and the whole country will celebrate when the results come out.
Xu Mochen returned to the harem and changed into casual clothes. He and Tang Derun were going to visit the examination room.
There is no other meaning. It is unheard of for a cultivator to take the imperial examination, even if he is a time traveler.
The two moved quickly and arrived at the main examination room where the Ministry of Etiquette was located.
There are several examination rooms in the entire examination room, Xu Mochen only looked for the most important ones.
When Ji Wenhe and Wen Guanxian of the Ministry of Rites learned that the emperor had arrived, they quickly came out to greet him.
Xu Mochen didn't take it seriously. With the respectful invitation of the two, he entered the hall and was immediately served tea.
He picked it up and sipped it casually, then put the tea cup down: "Have you sent all the test questions?"
"Sent it off," Wen Guanxian saluted, "nothing was left out."
Xu Mochen hummed: "This imperial examination is of great importance. You two are the main ones in charge. You must do things fairly and impartially."
The two of them understood what the emperor meant, and Ji Wenhe replied with a smile: "To be honest with your majesty, the ministers and others have also made many preparations.
A large formation is set up in each examination room. This formation is provided by the Mo Alliance. After everyone enters, they are no different from ordinary people. There is absolutely no phenomenon of using magical powers.
In addition, in the examination room, Wei Chen and others also installed various spiritual eyes for surveillance, keeping an eye on every student's behavior around the clock.
As for pens, inks, paper and inkstones, they are all provided by Shifang World. Students cannot use these and leave any clues.
After the exam, the Ministry of Rites will collect the papers and randomly distribute them to human transcribers. They will completely copy the students' exam papers to prevent the examiners from identifying the students who answered the papers through their handwriting.
All names, etc. will also be sealed, so please rest assured, Your Majesty. "
Xu Mochen was satisfied. It seemed that the immortal cultivators were not doing anything wrong.
As if he knew what the emperor was thinking, Ji Wenhe smiled apologetically: "Your Majesty, don't worry, literature is also very important to Daqian. What's more, the Shifang World Grammar Sect has a transcendent status, so there will never be any trouble."
"I am at ease with my dear friends, and I also believe in the world of ten directions," Xu Mochen said, "Our human race is closely related to you, and our relationship with each other is still very harmonious."
Tang Derun behind him was suppressing a smile and was so friendly. He didn't realize how many immortal cultivators he had killed in the past two years.
But Xu Mochen said that these are all small misunderstandings.
After talking eloquently for a while, he finally remembered the business and flipped the tea lid: "Since there are so many students ready to be admitted this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to check them all to see if there are any that I should pay special attention to."
It's not that he can't check it, but he has little interest in immortal cultivators.
The content of the written words changes over and over again, which is nothing more than the way of a sage.
Wen Guanxian smiled: "Your Majesty, Daqian Wen Dao is divided into one sage and four sages.
The words of the saint have long since ceased to concern themselves with worldly affairs, and the four sages also have their own belongings.
To be said to be the leading figure among students today, it must be Ouyang Yongren. "
Ji Wenhe also laughed when he heard the name: "Your Majesty, this Ouyang Yongren is also a fellow countryman of the contemporary saint.
This son passed the national examination at the age of eight and gained a great reputation. Now he is a weak official and has already occupied a place in the literary world. "
Xu Mochen became curious: "That is a rare talent. In the Wenfa Sect, his status is not low."
Wen Guanxian nodded: "It is said that the position of sect leader was offered to him, but he refused. Wei Chen thought that he was preparing to attack the position of saint."
Titles like saints and sages cannot be obtained by fists alone, but also require the blessing of literature and art.
According to the Wenfa Sect, in the final analysis, as a cultivator, what they value is the improvement of their realm.
There are some incompatibilities between the two.
Xu Mochen became more and more curious: "Take me to see him."
The emperor wanted to inspect the examination room and meet the top students. Of course, the two people from the Ministry of Rites would not refuse and stood up to greet them with a smile.
Xu Mochen followed the two of them into the examination room. It was just as he imagined. The rooms were divided into small rooms, which were not big.
After all, he is a student of immortal cultivators. The questions he asked are not too difficult for them, and everyone is writing hard.
There are actually standards for grading exams. For example, looking at the literary style of the article is the most intuitive judgment.
Xu Mochen could see that there was a vague sense of literature floating on those papers.
He couldn't help but think of Lin Zhuxi, what was that guy's purpose?
While he was distracted, Ji Wenhe's voice rang out: "Your Majesty, that's the one."
Xu Mochen looked around and saw a young man standing in a small room, with his left hand behind his back and a pen in his right hand, swiping ink stroke by stroke seriously.
Xu Mochen could tell that the literary style on his paper was a little bluish.
Xu Shi sensed that the young man raised his head and met Xu Mochen's eyes.
The two people's eyes met, Xu Mochen said nothing, and the young man moved away calmly and continued writing.
There is a feeling of honor and disgrace.
Xu Mochen admired this grace and temperament.
"This son is Ouyang Yongren, who was admitted to the Immortal Path at the age of eight," Wen Guanxian introduced in a low voice, "Your Majesty can take a good look at his level during the palace examination."
Xu Mochen was noncommittal. The people selected for the palace examination were also immortal cultivators, so he was not interested.
But it was rare to have a tacit understanding with Shifang World, and he did not deny it. He just said casually: "If they are really talented, Daqian's literary future depends on them."
They both said yes.
After viewing the examination room, Xu Mochen returned to the palace.
The imperial examination started smoothly, which also solved a worrying matter.
The next step is nothing more than waiting for the results and then taking the palace examination.
There was still some time for Xu Mochen to pay attention to the modern education for all that he planned to promote.
During this period, Shen Zhining took the lead, with the help of Gu Jinge, Zhao Lingbo and others, and revised the original nine-year compulsory education textbooks.
What Xu Mochen has now is the modified version.
Because printing technology was not developed enough, color pictures and the like were not possible.
There is also the text, which is also different from the current commonly used text in Daqian.
"In this case, Your Majesty needs to make new movable type printing words," Shen Zhining held a booklet, "I have compared common words and found that those that need to be made immediately are here."
Xu Mochen took it over and looked at it. There were four big characters written on it: Xinhua Dictionary.
