Wu Nian glanced at the prospective scholars and secretly glanced at Junfu's prospective scholars. He was suddenly startled and lowered his head in a hurry.

Wu Young shook his head lightly. His mental quality didn't look very good. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I am equipped with an imperial doctor, snacks, and tea."

"If you have any questions, just tell me."

"That's right. That's right. This is the first time that an imperial examination has been held to select scholars for the country. I can't help but want to say a few words."

Having said this, Wu Nian showed a smile on his face and said: "As the saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is just for money."

"This is an ancient truth. I'm afraid it's also what many of you think. But here, I only have one thing to say to you."

"I will drink from the golden cup together, but I will not spare you the sword."

"As long as you do well, I will give you glory and wealth. If you dare to take bribes and bend the law, I will not begrudge you a steel knife."

"Let's get started."

These murderous words are truly the magnificence of the founder of the country. I am afraid that the successors will not be able to express them.

The cabinet ministers and officials of the Ministry of Rites looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and then looked at the prospective Jinshi helplessly.

I'm afraid someone is going to act abnormally.

They thought well. The prospective Jinshi were all frightened. And depending on the region, personality, talent, and ambition.

Some people quickly entered the state, while others performed abnormally.

After all, Liaodong and Youyan are different.

The scholars in Liaodong have experienced more than ten years of war and have a more resolute character.

Although the scholars of Youyan also experienced the war to destroy the country, it passed in a short time and their endurance was weaker.

Some people really work for thousands of miles just for money, so they are frightened.

Some people want to learn civil and martial arts, gain access to the emperor's family, and build a successful career. Therefore, they are not affected.

All in all, it was not easy to write the test papers well under the eyes and pressure of Wu Nian, the founding king of the country.

The imperial examination lasts for one day.

It ends when the sunset lights up.

During this period, candidates are not allowed to leave the hall except for illness or convenience. Lunch will be pastries.

Wu Nian was very loyal and did not leave the main hall. He just sat on the throne and drank tea and cakes. He made very little noise and tried not to disturb the prospective Jinshi.

Although Wu Nian had prepared an imperial doctor, luckily he did not use it. The two hundred and thirty prospective Jinshis all wrote their examination papers before setting the lights at sunset, and were then led out of the palace by officials from the Ministry of Rites.

The eunuchs collected the test papers and handed them to the cabinet ministers.

The rewriting time is three days.

The cabinet ministers were initially sorted, and the final decision was made by Wu Nian himself. Wu Nian sat for a whole day and was tired from practicing martial arts. After saying a few words to the cabinet ministers, he left the hall and went back to rest.

Two days later.

morning.

In the imperial study room, Wu Nian was wearing casual clothes and sitting on the throne. The cabinet ministers lined up and stood respectfully below.

Wu Nian held the list in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Um.

No surprises.

Twenty-eight-year-old Zhang Songshan, from Huiyuan, performed well as always and was a candidate for the top prize. On the imperial desk, there were examination papers for the top ten candidates.

Wu Nian picked up Zhang Songshan's exam paper and looked at it. He couldn't understand the articles, but he understood arithmetic, geography, and science.

Good answer.

The writing is very good and neat.

Wu Nian put down the examination paper, raised his head and asked, "I would like to meet the candidates."

Liu Zhixing and others looked at each other in confusion. This was against the rules. But the founder of a country has privileges. Wu Nian increased the pressure and increased the pressure.

There is nothing they can do.

Liu Zhixing responded, and then asked officials from the Ministry of Rites to go on errands.

Afternoon.

In a side hall, Wu Nian changed into formal clothes and sat on the throne. Cabinet ministers and officials from the Ministry of Rites stood on both sides. Two hundred and thirty prospective Jinshi were lined up neatly.

Wu Nian looked at them and said calmly and generously: "Not many people have read your article, but I can't understand it."

"But this thing is just a brick."

"Say it's important, but there's no stepping stone. You can't enter the officialdom."

"Say it's not important. When you become an official, it doesn't depend on whether your articles are good or not, but whether you can do things well."

"I will test you again."

The prospective Jinshis are a bit devastated. After the general examination is the palace examination, and after the palace examination is there any countermeasures for the emperor?

The founding king of the country was a great king who was good at fighting and knew people well.

This murderous, unyielding king said nothing.

This is really unreasonable.

The would-be Jinshis started to commotion, but quickly bowed their heads obediently. No one expressed any objection. Wu Nian nodded with satisfaction, and then went straight to the point: "After you become Jinshis, the imperial court will arrange for you to study in various ministries, and you will be called Guanzheng Jinshis."

"In addition, I have an arrangement."

"Sushun Mansion didn't exist originally. Most of the people living there were tribesmen. There was a severe shortage of Han officials."

"I hope that some of you will take the initiative to go to Sushun to serve as officials, to establish schools, and to promote Sinology. However, the only way to go to Sushun is by sea. The sea is very rough and the risk of the ship sinking is very high."

"It's cold in Sushun and acclimatization is also a big problem. You have to be mentally prepared."

Reading can open up wisdom, and nerds are in the minority.

Of the 230 prospective Jinshis present, not one of them was a nerd. After listening to Wu Nian's words, he immediately understood the implication.

This time the imperial examination.

The article is a stepping stone.

Only those who can do things can rise.

Freeloaders, get out.

If you can do something, you are not afraid of death.

That's even better.

Going to Sushun to become an official is the way given by your father. As long as you go there and practice a lot, you will surely prosper when you come back.

The standard for Jinshi ranking this time may be the same.

No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 overall.

But knowing is knowing, and heartbeat is heartbeat. The would-be Jinshi still hesitated, as Junfu said, if Sushun takes the sea route, the boat may capsize.

Even if you reach Sushun safely, you may die of illness due to acclimatization.

Over there, dripping water turns into ice.

Moreover, Sushun is the real front line. Once it is attacked by the Mongolian people, there will be no place to escape and they will definitely die.

It is not easy to abandon everything and decide to become an official in Sushun.

Wu Nian was a little disappointed when he saw this. Could it be that only decent bureaucrats were selected in this imperial examination?

At this moment, a tall, handsome, fair-skinned young prospective Jinshi stood up, bowed to Wu Nian and said, "I would like to take care of the king's worries and go to Sushun to serve as an official."

Wu Nian looked happy and asked: "Who is your surname and where do you live?"

"Reporting to your Majesty. I am from Yingqing Mansion, and my surname is Shi Mingxian."

Shi Xian replied respectfully.

Wu Nian looked at him carefully again and found that his eyes were bright and determined, and his brows were quite upright.

Wu Nian has read countless people, and there is no guarantee that he will be right when looking at people, but he will be very different.

He knew that this was his new top scorer.

If you are brave enough, dare to do it.

As for his academic level, since he is a Jinshi, it is not bad at all.

very good.
