After escorting the supplies and returning to Gyeongju, Fu Hongzhi gathered all the mounted cavalry again.

The cavalrymen who were assigned uniforms were all top-notch elites under Fu Hongzhi's command. At this moment, they gathered together solemnly without making any sound, quietly waiting for Fu Hongzhi to speak.

"A few days ago! I went to Chang'an!"

"That group of young soldiers known as the "Yulin Army" are also training cavalry! They also threatened to surpass us and become the main force of cavalry on the battlefield! Do you agree?"

"No!"

Since its establishment, the Changning Prefecture Army has used cavalry as its trump card.

The combat effectiveness of the Changning Prefecture Army has been proven in the last Northern Expedition. Now that there are 500 cavalry units, how can the so-called "Yulin Army" dare to compete with itself?

Looking at the excited soldiers, Fu Hongzhi's face was unmoved, but his heart was filled with joy.

"When His Majesty's next Northern Expedition comes, we will use our records to tell them who is the boss of the Song Dynasty cavalry!"

"Here!"

With the end of the three-year spring plowing of Daye, planning for the imperial examination has gradually been put on the agenda.

The first imperial examination will be divided among most people from the Imperial College and other aristocratic academies.

But it doesn't matter.

At least this hope started in Chang'an and spread through the government, prefecture by prefecture, and county by county.

A large number of scholars from poor families finally had an opportunity to leap over the dragon gate and break the family politics that had existed since the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Students from wealthy families finally felt a sense of crisis, and the first to bear the brunt were the many students from the Imperial College.

They all come from distinguished families, but the thought of competing with heroes from all over the country makes them feel numb.

These flowers that had been pampered in the greenhouse finally felt the horror of "involution". Each and every one of them calmed down, which was rare, and began to stay up late and study hard, trying not to embarrass the family.

In addition to the pressure from the family, there was also pressure from the emperor.

Compared to other people, the "Five Tigers" are under greater pressure.

After all, they are people that the emperor is always paying attention to. If they get last on the exam, the emperor will inevitably wonder if they are perfunctory.

Among the six subjects to be tested, subjects such as "Ming Jing", "Ming Shu" and "Policy Theory", which have been studied almost since childhood, will naturally not be a problem for them.

But the three courses "Ming Fa", "Ming Li" and "Ming Calculation" really troubled them.

The "Daye Law" compiled by Wang Maide contained thousands of criminal names, and these laws and regulations almost drove them crazy.

As for mathematics, as the same saying goes, if you know it, you can, and if you don’t, you won’t be able to do it even to death.

Many of the courses in "Mingli" are very interesting, but when turned into topics, they become very unlovable and give these five people a headache.

Xue An, the youngest, was the most impatient. He would just throw down his pen and say, "Damn it! I won't take the exam!"

Then, he looked at the other four people: "Let's go to Jiaofangsi! I heard that a new group of barbarian dancers have come in there!"

"OK."

Liu Yuanjing took advantage of the break to think about the topic and silently raised his head, glanced at him, and then quickly lowered his head.

"Zong Xi and I are both working in the Zhongshu Provincial Department, and we will be promoted sooner or later."

"Brother Zhu Xiuzhi joined the army under the protection of General Shen Tianzi, and he has also achieved military success. His future will be unlimited."

"Anjie has a hereditary county dukedom and official position."

"What do you have? Go home and farm?"

Xue Andu: "..."

Although it hurts.

But what Liu Yuanjing said is indeed correct!

He picked up the thrown brush with some dejection, then sat on his seat unwillingly and continued to chew on the book.

"While the weather is still cool now and you can read books, you can study more."

Zhu Xiuzhi, the eldest, advised: "For some reason the emperor has to set the imperial examination on June 6 every year. It is the hottest time at that time. If you still want to study in such a comfortable way, I'm afraid it will be impossible."

"

After hearing this, Xue An became even more depressed. He couldn't even calculate the most basic "Pythagorean Theorem".

Upon seeing this, An Jie helped him and said: "Don't panic when answering the questions of "Ming Suan", let alone be impatient. I think the emperor put the "Ming Suan" exam in the morning for the purpose of allowing the candidates to have a clear mind."

Liu Yuan nodded: "That's true."

"On the contrary, the emperor puts subjects like "Ming Fa" that are mostly memorized and understood in the afternoon. This shows that the emperor really cares about the candidates."

The announcement of the imperial examination has been printed.

The exam officially starts on the morning of June 6th, and candidates need to come to the exam room two hours in advance to take a physical exam.

After that, I took the first subject "Policy Theory".

Placing the policy theory examination as the first subject can be regarded as the imperial court telling the scholars all over the world the requirements of the imperial examination for selecting talents, which is to put practicality first.

After that they are "Ming Li", "Ming Suan", "Ming Fa", "Ming Shu" and "Ming Jing".

I don’t know if it was intentional by the emperor, but the "Ming Jing", which has been extremely important since ancient times, was placed at the last subject, which makes people have to doubt the emperor's malicious intention towards this subject.

Different from previous tests, the official document issued by the imperial court clearly states that the imperial examination will be marked by "anonymous" and the scores for the six subjects will be announced after the marking is completed.

In such a fair way, naturally some people are happy and some are worried.

The "Five Tigers" can all become famous generals with great military exploits in history. Even if they are usually indifferent to fame and fortune, they still have a fighting spirit when encountering such a fresh "list" ranking. Naturally, they are happy to see it.

The emergence of rankings.

Other members of aristocratic families are in a miserable situation. This kind of putting their names out and having countless people "step on" them is really unacceptable to proud aristocratic families.

On the one hand, it is because of bravely climbing to the top, and on the other hand, it is because of avoiding humiliation.

There is no doubt that both parties will burst out with great fighting power. In addition, this is the first imperial examination, and it is very likely that some people will not even know their mother.

Not only the scholars were preparing for the examination, but also the imperial court.

The imperial examination, from question setting to venue preparation, and from invigilation to examination paper marking, was the first time for the imperial court for a young lady to board a sedan chair.

If it weren't for the experience accumulated from the last medical examination and Liu Yizhen, an emperor who was tortured by the examination, there would still be a big question mark as to whether the imperial court could come up with a satisfactory answer sheet.

Fortunately, as May approaches, all preparations for the imperial court are complete, and scholars from various states in the Liu Song Dynasty have also gathered in Chang'an City to welcome this unprecedented event of the Liu Song Dynasty——

Imperial examination!

Friends who were in the group yesterday should have seen what I said. It was raining and snowing suddenly at my house yesterday, and I foolishly wore short-sleeves when I went out to catch a cold. I have had a high fever for the past two days.

I quit, my mind is very confused. So I will keep updating the basic two chapters for the time being, and resume the three chapters when I feel better!
Chapter completed!
