The prince-in-law Xie Anran and Princess Xiang Ling and their party rode in a carriage. Under the escort of the brigade, they went to Wanling City, the county government, and gradually left.

Prince Xiang Tiange cried and was comforted by Chen Wanbao for a long time before he recovered.

The two and a group of playboys of all sizes, without even calling Xiao Hunhou, went to Jinling City to have fun.

There was a princess Li Yu here, and they were not happy to call Xiaohunhou.

"I hope the princess will be safe and sound."

Li Yu looked at the carriage away, feeling a little melancholy, and was a little worried about his best friend Princess Xiang Ling.

As the daughter of King Ping, she has passed down military tactics for generations and is well aware of the current situation of the Great Chu Dynasty.

There were Huns in the north who were eyeing each other and hiding for ten years to find a good opportunity.

There were many princes inside who cede land to become kings, but they did not obey the imperial power and became increasingly arrogant and domineering.

When the emperor implements the new policy, he will sooner or later conflict with the princes.

Once the world changes.

Except for the huge city of Jinling Imperial Capital, there are not many cities that are safe.

"It's only a two-day trip to Wanling for 300 miles. If you really can't stand it, it's easy to come back. Besides, the emperor will not sit idly by. Let's go back."

Chu Tianxiu said lightly.

He took Li Yu, Di Er, Zuer and others, and said goodbye to the playboys and scholars outside the city, hoping to return to the Pingwang Mansion.

There are so many things happening recently that he is busy making his county exam papers, and he doesn't want to waste his time on his spring outing.

The scholars and daughters of all the families naturally refused to let go and tried to persuade them to have a beautiful scenery, which was a good holiday for spring outings.

"Little Marquis, I finally got out, how could I go back so quickly?!"

"Why might as well take a break and go back after a while?!"

Spring outings are certainly not their purpose.

Xiao Hunhou, the first chief examiner of the Great Chu imperial examination, is here, and is personally responsible for all related matters of the imperial examination.

These top ten clans don’t have the opportunity to be recommended to officials every year, and they can only take the last one in many years.

Now, don’t have to wait, just take the imperial examination.

Most of them secretly made up their minds to take part in the first imperial examination and get an official position.

This is the first imperial examination for the Great Chu Dynasty, and it will definitely have a huge impact. The candidates who passed the imperial examination may be famous for their history.

Wouldn't they waste this great opportunity if they don't take advantage of the "spring outing" to inquire about the news of the exam?

"Little Marquis, your "Stone Story" came out of nowhere, but our great Chu is rising, and the most brilliant new generation of literary masters.

We, the nobles and nobles of the family, all took you as an example and studied humbly. I wonder what books do you read on weekdays to be so outstanding in literature?”

"Yes, we have been studying hard in our own mansion recently, but the mountains of books are like seas, but we are confused and unaware of the direction.

I wonder if the little marquis has any good books and I recommend them to you?”

The scholars of the clans seemed extremely respectful and polite.

If you ask a question directly, it would be suspected of being privately taught. If someone complained, everyone would be in trouble.

However, it is natural to ask the master of literature how to do knowledge.

Ask what books to read, this is always OK!

Even the Jinling Prefecture Prime Minister Wang Xu also pricked up his ears.

This imperial examination was of great importance. Jinling City was the capital of the Great Chu Emperor and the place with the most scholars in the world. It was also the important place for the imperial examination.

His parents are naturally very concerned about this matter.

Chu Tianxiu was tried hard to keep him. Looking at the "humble and asking for advice" expressions, he knew what they were planning.

A few days ago, when the imperial examination just came out, it changed from recommendation to bootstrap. The scholars screamed in anger, and wanted to smash the Pingwang Mansion.

However, Xiao Hunhou is the first chief examiner of the imperial examination!

What can they do?

I just lowered my head honestly and found a way to please Xiao Hunhou and get some useful news in advance.

"I am reading the collection of books in the study of the Prince Ping's Mansion recently. I read a lot of miscellaneous books.

This scholar must first learn widely and learn from astronomy, geography, and all the three religions and all the various abilities are knowledge. Once he passes the Juren, he will not be too late to become more refined in the future."

Chu Tianxiu swept over everyone and said with a faint smile.

The scholars looked at each other.

Although the study room of the Pingwang Mansion is less than that of the Xie family mansion and the Wang family mansion, it also has a collection of thousands of books.

Even if there are fewer, there will always be hundreds of books.

Xiao Hunhou's words clearly meant that they should try their best to read books. The test questions are not limited to Confucianism, and all the three religions and other abilities may be given.

The scholars of the family didn't mind whether the imperial examinations were only taken by Confucianism, and they would also read books from other schools.

But the scope of reading this book is too wide, and they have a headache!

"The first round of county examinations is about to come. The first scientific examination is the spring examination, and it is probably within one month. Please hurry up and study more!"

Chu Tianxiu smiled and said to Wang Xu, the prefect of Jinling Prefecture, "By the way, Lord Wang. The scientific examination venue in Jinling City is named 'Jinling Gongyuan'. We must start construction as soon as possible. Not only county examinations, but also county examinations and national examinations."

“This is natural.”

Wang Xu nodded.

Chu Tianxiu didn't say anything more, and drove back to Jinling City with Li Yu and others.

"The county trial is so fast?"

The scholars were shocked.

I thought they had a year or two left, and they still had time to study hard, but they didn't expect that the county examination would be held in a month.

I can’t read many books this month!

Anyone who wants to enter the official career must participate in this county examination and first obtain the qualification of a child student. Only then will he be qualified to be a scholar, a juren, or a Jinshi in the next step.

I can’t even get the qualifications of a child, and there is no chance to come.

The nobles and nobles of the families were not in the mood for spring outings at this moment, so they hurried back to Jinling City and studied hard behind closed doors.

It is always a good thing to read a few more books.

The officials and ladies also hurried back to Jinling City and brought the news to the students in various residences to prepare early.

Their future husbands will still have to choose among these candidates, and of course they are also concerned about this imperial examination.

...

The news of the first round of county examinations "take the full course" spread quickly in Jinling City.

Prime Minister Kong Hanyou and Censor Wang Su have all seen this county examination paper by Xiao Hunhou. Although the test questions were not leaked, they also revealed some information about the first round of county examinations.

Thousands of Confucian scholars in Jinling were shocked and even panicked.

Not only does the Confucian subject take exams!

Take the general subject?

This...isn't this killing them?

Most Confucian scholars read dozens of Confucianism, and read other miscellaneous books, but there are really not many.

After all, before this year, books were all bamboo slips, not very popular paper books... If you want to read a lot of books, you have to borrow books from a wealthy family. This is very difficult for ordinary Confucian scholars.

They originally thought that self-recommendation for the imperial examination would be very beneficial to the Confucian scholars all over the world to become officials.

But unexpectedly, Xiaohunhou actually relied on general practice.

Many Confucian scholars gathered at Hongmen Inn and hurriedly discussed countermeasures.

"We strongly protest to the court!"

"Yes, it's unfair to write articles and publish them in the "Da Chu Di Daily"! We are not as good as those of the clans. How can we win the exam?!"

"This is very beneficial to the Jinling clan scholars!"

For a time, the scholars in Jinling City were all in a turmoil, and they protested strongly in the newspapers, and all kinds of noisy farces.

However, all this could not resist Xiao Hunhou's arbitrary behavior.

Even Prime Minister Kong Hanyou had no choice but to make Xiaohunhou change his mind.
Chapter completed!
