Students who have registered returned to their residences and began their final studies.
Strive to be named on the gold list at the last moment.
In addition to their group of students, there are also some students who are far away and have just arrived in Chang'an City. After hearing the news, they rushed to register first.
After registering, I applied to the government and got the residence provided by the government.
After everything was arranged, I took a deep breath.
Fortunately, fortunately, they arrived relatively promptly.
If you arrive too late, you really won't be able to catch anything.
In the Tai Chi Hall, there will be officials every day to arrange for all the students who come to register on that day.
It's just that there were a lot of people signing up in the past few days, but until just before the exam, the number of people signing up was very small.
Presumably, everyone taking the imperial examination had received the news in advance and came to register.
And those who came later arrived at Chang'an City because of the longer distance.
Of course, no matter when you come to Chang'an City, you just need to arrive on time according to the time specified by the court.
As the imperial examination becomes more and more popular, not to mention those students who are preparing to take the imperial examination, they can feel the atmosphere of Chang'an.
Because the imperial examination is about to take place, the entire city of Chang'an is under more martial law than in the past.
More Chang'an City guards began to patrol Chang'an City.
If someone is found to dare to cause trouble, he usually just criticizes them. This time, no matter how big or small, they will be thrown into the sky jail and severely punished.
Because of this matter, many children in Chang'an City did not dare to do anything casually.
The security of Chang'an as a whole has improved dramatically.
If someone dares to use force in this situation, it's just because they are impatient.
"Oh, there is an imperial examination in Chang'an City.
It is said that this court asked those candidates to register and enter their information.
The number of people who signed up for them was much older, and everyone thought that if they could succeed in the imperial examination, they would definitely be like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.
By then, we will honor our ancestors, and I feel really happy when I think about it."
"Yes, yes, who says no?
It's a pity that we don't have such a high level of cultural knowledge. If we had such a high level of education, we would definitely go and take the exam.
If you are not too old and not too young, you can go to high school and become an official, just think about how happy you will be."
"Hahaha, let me tell you, you must not throw that person away.
These few words you know are not embarrassing enough.
Although His Majesty recruits students from all over the world to take the exam.
But if you don’t have any ink, wouldn’t it be nonsense to take the exam?
Yes, yes, when they heard other people say this, the rest of the group nodded repeatedly.
You're not as capable as others, so try not to embarrass yourself.
Otherwise, it is just a small matter to be embarrassed. If His Majesty knows that you have no talent and comes to take the imperial examination, will His Majesty punish you with the crime of disrespect?
Speaking of this, everyone nodded.
It's better not to mess around until you have the strength. The time you have will not be as enjoyable as eating, drinking and having fun.
It's almost, it's almost, it's really soon, we are going to Chang'an City.
As long as you arrive in Chang'an City, you can take the imperial examination, and you will have the opportunity to leap over the dragon gate in the future.
It's just that it's a bit too late now, and I don't know if I can enter Chang'an.
"Who are you and what's going on?
Now Chang'an City has started a curfew. If anything happens, come back tomorrow."
I saw that the city of Chang'an was much larger than the city in their place.
Compared with the city of their small gate, Xiaohu, it is not on the same level at all.
The guards in Chang'an City looked more majestic than the guards in their county.
Although several of them were students from the border areas of the Tang Dynasty, they were all incompatible with them whether it was their dress or other things.
After hearing what the soldier above said, these students rearranged their clothes and saluted above.
"My lords, my lords, misunderstanding, misunderstanding.
We are the candidates taking the imperial examination this year. Because the journey is quite far, we arrived relatively late.
I would also like to ask you, sir, to be accommodating and allow me to wait until I enter the city.
This is a document issued by our local government, sir, please check it."
"What? Candidates taking the imperial examination this year.
Don’t you know that the registration for the imperial examination has been completed, and the official examination will be held tomorrow.
You just came today, it’s already too late, go back quickly.”
When several people heard this, they were dumbfounded. They only knew that there would indeed be an imperial examination tomorrow, but who knew that there was a registration step before the imperial examination?
I haven't arrived in Chang'an City today, how could I know in advance? Isn't this nonsense?
Several people just stood aside blankly.
“My lords, my lords, isn’t this the imperial examination that will take place tomorrow?
I would like to ask you all for your convenience. We have come all the way to Chang'an City just to take part in the imperial examination.
If we can fall in His Majesty's eyes and be able to work for His Majesty in the court, this is the greatest wish of scholars of our generation.
I would also like to ask you all to make it convenient for me."
As he spoke, he took out some money from his clothes.
Although this amount of money is not much, but this time I came to the court to take the exam, I had already sold off my entire family, so I only kept this.
The other money to feed and drink myself has arrived in Chang'an, so close at hand. I can't give up just because I want to, right?
However, upon seeing his actions, the soldiers guarding the city looked even more disdainful.
If you still think about bribing them with money, is this an insult to the court or to them?
If you put them in because you received some money, what if you give them more money?
Is it possible that they all have to be let in? If His Majesty blames them, they will not be able to eat and walk around.
"Okay, you are all students. It is not easy to come to Chang'an City. Please leave as soon as possible."
"Sir, please see if you can let us in.
We have come this far.
How about you two, want to have a word?"
"Since they don't want us to go in, why don't we just leave?"
"Cowardly."
"What can I do if I don't give up? Do I have to force my way in?"
Seeing what the two of them said, and hearing what the soldiers above said, the other man snorted coldly, stepped forward, took the money back from the man who asked for it, and looked up.
"Thank you sir, we are leaving, but please remember, you did not ask us to leave.
It's because we don't have to come to such a court.
Today, the Holy Emperor issued an order to select talents, saying that he would recruit students from all over the world to come to Chang'an City to take the imperial examination.
Because I was waiting at the border and got the latest news, it came the slowest time.
And now the imperial examination has not been held yet.
Could it be that because I was far away from Chang'an City, the news I received was not timely.
So we don’t even have a chance to take the imperial examination?
If this is the case, the imperial decree might as well say that only students from the Central Plains are recruited.
As a result, our students who live far away in the border areas no longer have the desire to take the imperial examination and serve the court.
Humph, is it possible that if we don’t take the imperial examination, we will have no other life?
In such an unhumane court, what's the use of us coming here to take the exam?"
Hearing what the man said, the two brothers standing beside him hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth.
"Brother, big brother, don't talk nonsense."
The three of them also met on the way to the exam.
Although the three people were all born into poverty, their personalities are different.
One of them just wanted to go through the back door and rely on connections to see if he could get in and take an imperial examination.
The other one is the kind that is more conservative and takes things as they come.
After hearing what the officials said, I didn't dare to say anything or use any methods. I could only think of leaving and coming back next year.
On the contrary, it was this brother who came with them.
He was not good at talking during this journey, and I thought he just didn't like talking.
I just didn't expect that what he said was so vicious, and he was speaking against His Majesty the Imperial Court.
You are in Chang'an, and you are angry at the current emperor, and I ask you how many heads are enough to chop off?
However, I saw this big brother, with a stubborn look and his disdainful eyes, just watching quietly.
When the two brothers saw this, they ducked aside for fear of being implicated if something happened.
Talking about the court and Your Majesty like this is a serious crime that will cost you your head."
This brother of yours is too stubborn, right?
What's not good to say, why do you say these words?
However, when he heard what these two brothers who had come together to take the imperial examination said, the man laughed.
"What, did I say something wrong?
Today's saints should take all these things into consideration when selecting talents.
Instead of taking such interceptive measures.
If we are said to be relatively close, get the news earlier, arrive late, and are not allowed to take the imperial examination, I have nothing to say, and I deserve it.
But we are far apart and the news we get is the latest.
That's why I'm the latest to come here, and besides, I'm not too late, because the imperial examination is tomorrow.
The court didn't want to think of a solution, but blocked us outside the door. What's the reason?
Seeing that this brother was getting louder and louder, the two people next to him moved to the side.
As the saying goes, a gentleman never builds a dangerous wall, but this guy will say anything.
Whenever you are about to offend someone you shouldn't offend, it's best to retreat first.
Seeing the small actions of the two of them, the man didn't say much, but he still looked up with disdain.
"That's all, since there's no one here, I'll take my leave."
