In the autumn of the 50,001st year of the Chinese calendar, it falls on April 15th.
The sky is clear and the sun is shining warmly.
The first imperial examination of the Great Xia Dynasty begins.
Outside Xia Palace, more than 50,000 candidates were already waiting here, and everyone's faces were full of excitement.
Among them, some are ambitious bachelors from poor families. Although their cultivation is not strong, their literary talents are outstanding. They want to change their destiny by relying on the imperial examination and win a place in the court.
Some are wandering wandering warriors who are alone and struggling to practice. They come here because they want to enter the court, serve the country, and at the same time leave a way out for themselves.
There are also some people from major aristocratic families in Daxia. Although they have power behind them, they can no longer make any trouble in front of the current imperial court. Instead, after seeing the power of the current imperial court, they take the initiative to rely on and rely on them. The road to the imperial examination can gain a glimmer of hope for the family and sect behind you!
All in all, no one had any objections.
They all came here with only one purpose: pass the imperial examination and join the imperial court!
After originally coming from various counties, many people were a little worried when they saw so many candidates taking part in the palace examination. After all, the chance of only taking one thousand candidates out of more than fifty thousand people was too small.
But just yesterday, news suddenly came out from the Xia Palace that His Majesty has decreed that the number of people admitted will be increased from one thousand to fifty thousand.
A full five times improvement!
This will represent another opportunity for them!
At this moment, waiting for the imperial examination to begin outside the Xia Palace, many people's eyes were filled with confidence and excitement.
This time, you must pass the palace examination, gain fame, and honor your ancestors!
"when!!!"
At this moment, a bell rang from the Xia Palace, alarming everyone.
"It's noon!"
Countless people stared at the palace gate with bright eyes.
"Rumble"
In the expectant eyes of countless candidates, the palace gate suddenly opened.
Two figures in official uniforms appeared at the gate of the palace.
"I am Xiao Ping, the left minister of the Great Xia Palace, and I am in charge of this imperial and military examination."
"I am Li Si, the right minister of the Great Xia Palace, in charge of this imperial examination."
The two spoke slowly and glanced at the countless candidates lined up on the street.
Hearing this, everyone was suddenly startled and quickly bowed and saluted.
"Student has met the two Prime Ministers!"
The two nodded slightly.
Li Si looked serious and continued to speak, solemnly saying: "This palace examination will be personally invigilated by His Majesty. I and the Left Minister will assist. I hope you will strictly abide by the rules of the examination room and answer seriously. Each person only has one chance!"
Everyone's expressions froze and they saluted quickly: "Thank you, sir, for informing me. We will keep it in mind!"
Li Si nodded slightly, then turned around and spoke loudly: "Now, the first batch of candidates, follow me into the palace!"
After Li Si finished speaking, the more than 50,000 candidates at the door came to life. Taking the candidates' certificates that had been sorted out, they entered the palace one by one.
Soon, 10,000 candidates arrived at the huge square in front of Huangji Hall. The mobile phone will remember to provide you with wonderful novel reading in one second.
At this moment, Qin Wuhen and all the civil and military officials had been waiting for this.
Seeing Qin Wuhen, countless candidates looked enthusiastic and bowed again: "Students have met His Majesty!"
"Flat body!"
On the high platform, Qin Wuhen was sitting on a golden dragon chair with a majestic posture, looking at the 10,000 candidates with majesty.
All the civil and military officials at the rear stood solemnly, including Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Lu Dongbin, Li Bai, Li Xiaoyao and other ministers.
In the center of the square below, with the giant cauldron in the center as a line, the square is divided into two examination rooms.
One side is the literary test, and the other is the martial arts test.
On the side of the literary examination, there are tables and chairs placed every one foot. The four treasures of the study are displayed on tables and cases, totaling five thousand.
On the side of the martial arts test is a huge arena, ten feet high and a thousand meters wide, enough to accommodate thousands of people without being crowded.
At this moment, 10,000 candidates are standing outside the examination room, but at a glance, the venue is still huge and spacious, and the scene is extremely spectacular!
Seeing this serious scene at this moment, many candidates looked a little nervous.
At this time, Li Si and Xiao Ping walked up to the high platform and bowed to Qin Wuhen, "Your Majesty, everything is ready!"
"let's start!"
Qin Wuhen ordered quietly.
"yes!"
The two of them accepted the order.
Later, Li Si walked to the literary examination room, and Xiao Ping walked to the martial arts examination room.
"The first 5,000 candidates with serial numbers should take their seats in order! Candidates with 5,000 to 10,000 numbers should go to the martial arts examination venue as quickly as possible!"
Li Si spoke loudly, with a serious look on his face.
Soon, when all the candidates were seated, Xiao Ping shouted solemnly: "The literary test question: Strategies to strengthen the country!"
Li Si was dressed in black official uniform, showing his majesty. The law code in his hand immediately bloomed with endless purple light, and the four characters "Strategy to Strengthen the Country" appeared in the sky.
At the same time, the world was at peace, the people lived in peace, the literati and monks continued to strive for self-improvement, and the prosperous Daxia Dynasty emerged, just like a real scene!
Seeing this scene, the five thousand literary test candidates looked surprised and yearned for it.
This vision was really the first time they had seen it!
"Is this the way of literature?"
Some candidates murmured, their eyes shining brightly.
Nowadays, many ministers in Daxia are literary monks. They do not practice Qi, but only cultivate literature, and find shortcuts to enter Taoism. This is no longer a secret.
Including Li Si, the Right Prime Minister, it is said that he is a powerful literary monk who is in charge of the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty. He is extremely powerful!
Literary monks can also control extremely powerful forces!
This opened up opportunities for many people!
And this imperial examination is the best opportunity to get in touch with literature!
"The literary test begins!"
Li Si closed the code of laws and regulations and shouted loudly.
The five thousand candidates quickly gathered their minds and began to sit down at their desks and write their answers.
On the other side, Xiao Ping looked calm, looking at the densely packed five thousand candidates on the stage, with a malicious smile on his lips.
These people have passed five levels and killed six generals. They have risen from countless opponents in various counties and counties to get here. The weakest among them are all monks at the Golden Core stage and above. Naturally, they cannot be treated as gently as the literary test.
Xiao Ping's face was solemn, his body flashed, he stood in the void, looked at the five thousand martial arts test candidates, and shouted loudly: "All candidates listen to the order, this round of martial arts test, only five hundred will be taken!"
"With a limit of half an hour, as long as no one is hurt, no matter what method is used, as long as there are 500 people still in the ring after half an hour, it will be considered a pass!"
Is staying in the ring after half an hour considered passing?
The faces of the five thousand martial arts test candidates changed and they were a little dull.
They made all kinds of preparations when they came, but they didn't expect that there would be such rules!
Is this preparation for...a melee?
In the void, Xiao Ping glanced at the five thousand candidates with a smile on his lips.
That’s right, it’s a melee!
Survival of the fittest!
There are 5,000 people taking the big exam, so we can't arrange exams for them one by one, not to mention there are 40,000 people outside waiting to take the exam.
Therefore, we adopt the most direct method!
After half an hour, no matter what method they use, as long as the last five hundred people can still stay in the ring, they will pass!
Of course, the five thousand candidates in the field have different cultivation levels and are strong and weak. Using this method may be unfair.
And it also depends on the position. Those standing on the outside of the ring will naturally suffer some losses.
Perhaps in the end, those who are truly capable will not be able to pass, but those who are weaker will be lucky enough to advance.
But there is nothing that can be done. At this moment, the Five Dynasties Land is waiting for officials to take over, and there is not so much time to waste.
Moreover, sometimes good luck is also part of strength, right?
