How could an army be comparable to a mythical person? Although it was a bit unbelievable, Wu Qingmei still believed Yunjing's words. After all, there were a group of top beings in the late stage of the True Meaning Mirror who were ready to burn their lives and sublimate their lives at any time in the Sanluo Palace.
Once they do that, they will be able to use some of the methods of the Mythical Realm. Although one person is still unable to compare with the real Mythic Realm, the combat power of a large number of people is still quite terrifying.
However, there are not many such beings in the Sanluo Palace, and the training resources are very large, and they are equivalent to consumables. They will not be used easily unless it is absolutely necessary. And the Dali army that Yunjing mentioned at this time is probably just an army.
A very powerful army.
She couldn't help but sigh: "How much unknown information does your Dali have? There is an old man from the Myth Realm sitting in the Xia family palace, as well as Old Master Huang and you, and now there is another army with combat power comparable to the Myth Realm.
The army has such a terrifying foundation, coupled with the Thunder and Fire Army that appeared during the war between several countries that year, if Dali is really serious about it, it may be enough to unify the surrounding countries!"
Now Dali is too powerful. Once Dali really wants to grow stronger, Wu Qingmei doesn't know what to do to resist him.
In response to this, Yunjing muttered: "Actually, your countries were not inferior to Dali at the beginning, and were even stronger than Dali."
"Yeah, it's a pity that it's all in the past. When Mr. Liu set foot on that level, he shocked the world in one battle. Almost all the seniors from our countries perished. From then on, we can no longer compare with Dali." Wu
Qingmei's tone was extremely complex.
The development of the situation is always unexpected. For that battle, the three northern kingdoms were fully prepared. If nothing unexpected happened, Dali would be destroyed. But an accident happened, and Liu Neng came out.
, everything is reversed.
"In short, Dali has agreed to send troops, and together with Mr. Hong, even if the disaster of foreign civilization comes and slows down their pace, if they take their time, there will always be a way to survive the second stage of this curse. Youdao is here
Without repeating it again and again, if we can survive this catastrophe, the threat posed by the curse will definitely take a turn for the worse or even be eliminated directly," Yun Jing said thoughtfully.
Wu Qingmei nodded and said, "I hope so."
Facing the scourge of foreign civilization, Wu Qing's brows were extremely solemn. Seeing this, Yun Jing said: "My current status is not suitable for me to intervene in the exchanges between countries, but I have not sat idly by and have already taken action."
, has nothing to do with the country’s arrangements”
Hearing this, Wu Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Jing, have you already started to take action?...Forget it, I know every inch of your body, but your methods at this level are still beyond my imagination. Since Xiao Jing
Jing has already taken action, I can't help you, your own safety is the most important thing."
"Well, I have my own sense of discretion." Yun Dingding nodded.
Not talking about these heavy things, Wu Qingmei immediately changed the subject and said enthusiastically: "Xiao Jing, do you know what is the most interesting thing to talk about when you leave the capital? I have devoted myself to Xia Xia these two days.
I also heard a lot about Ziyang’s exchanges.”
"What happened? I didn't pay much attention to the gossip outside," Yun Jing asked curiously.
Wu Qingmei smiled and said: "That's right, how can such trivial matters deserve your attention, but when it comes to it, it's still related to you."
"Oh? Tell me," Yun Jing said in astonishment.
Wu Qingmei immediately said happily: "For you guys in Dali during this period, the Jinshi Imperial Examination is the biggest topic, and then you have to participate, right? But Xiaojing, your cultivation in the Myth Realm is already known to everyone.
So, the attention has increased to an incredible level. No one said that you were bullying others by participating in this imperial examination. In fact, any student would feel honored to compete on the same stage with the mythical realm. Let me ask.
Who has had such an honor for thousands of years? Even if you fail to pass the exam and just accompany the exam once, it will be a worthwhile trip. In your words, it is enough to brag for a lifetime. For this reason, countless people who would not have participated in the imperial exam are enthusiastic
Involved in recent times”
"Well, my participation has actually increased the enthusiasm of scholars for the imperial examination. I didn't expect it. But now that there are more people participating, doesn't it make it more difficult for me?" Yunjing couldn't help but laugh or cry.
Wu Qingmei asked dumbly: "Why, does Xiaojing have no confidence in himself?"
"That's not true. Confidence is confidence, but if it can be easier, who would be willing to increase the difficulty for nothing?" Yun Jing shook his head and said.
Again, knowledge has little to do with the level of cultivation. There are too many factors that determine the final score. Yunjing will not be arrogant and think that he is better than all the students. What if the test questions are unpopular content that he has never been exposed to?
Well, there is no end to learning and this is not just talk.
Wu Qingmei thought about it and said, "Don't cry if Xiao Jing fails the exam. At worst, I'll just support you, but your ability and fame are only dispensable. Then, countless students are gearing up.
, no one will find it strange that the imperial examination results are not as good as yours, but what if they surpass you? Tsk tsk, that’s what you call real fame in one fell swoop. Although it’s okay for you to be better than you in the imperial examinations, other people don’t see it that way.
Ultimate Shortcut has suddenly become a world-famous existence, so you don’t know how many handicaps have been opened.”
"Good guy, this not only increased the enthusiasm for the imperial examination, but also stimulated folk entertainment." Yunjing couldn't laugh or cry.
Wu Qingmei said: "What do you think?"
"Okay, so what are my odds?" Yunjing asked with interest.
Wu Qingmei curled her lips and said: "Xiao Jing still wants odds? I haven't gotten to know the other students who are expected to beat you, but you can forget it. No one will think it's strange that you won, but you will be ranked behind.
The odds are extremely high, but all the bookmakers have already announced that all people related to you are prohibited from suppressing them, for fear that you will deliberately operate in secret, haha."
"That means there are more people who are optimistic about me. Forget it, let them go." Yunjing shook his head and said, don't worry, this kind of thing is just for fun.
However, the same thing has different results from different angles. Take this matter as an example. Yunjing has reason to believe that the Dali Dynasty was behind the push to create a positive atmosphere and eliminate the pressure on imperial examination students.
, and at the same time, it is also sending a signal invisibly. Even if Yunjing participates in this imperial examination, the process and results will be fair. Who is strong or weak will depend on his ability, and there will be no shady story because of Yunjing himself.
Anyone who is not stupid can see this. If you can't even see through this, how do you still want to get a good ranking in this imperial examination? Since the imperial court is promoting this aspect, naturally it will not disappoint people.
After some exchanges, it was late at night. Wu Qingmei stood up, glanced at Yun Jing, crossed his fingers and walked toward the bedroom.
Yunjing: "..."
Again?
After the two took a bath, they had a fierce battle. In the end, Wu Qingmei still said seriously: "Same as yesterday, after all, one or two times is not safe!"
Yunjing had no choice but to obey her, but in his heart he couldn't laugh or cry, thinking to himself, Qingmei, you're probably not here specifically to "learn from me".
After finishing the work, Wu Qingmei felt warm in the depths of her lower abdomen. She leaned against Yun Jing contentedly, with a happy face and didn't want to say anything.
After a moment of tenderness, Wu Qingmei said in a lazy voice: "Xiao Jing, we've almost finished everything we've come to Dali. I have to go back tomorrow."
"Well, do you want me to see you off?" Yunjing hugged her hand tightly, and he understood in his heart that as the king of a country, she had too many things to do and had no time to waste time in Dali.
"There's no need to go to so much trouble. Everything has been arranged. Xiao Jing, just worry about taking the imperial examination." Wu Qingmei arched her head against Yun Jing's chest and said softly, changing into a comfortable position.
"Well, if you have any questions, please contact me at any time..." At this point, Yunjing couldn't help but muttered: "I always feel that Qingmei, you came to Dali for other things just by the way."
Wu Qingmei said nothing, but placed her hand subconsciously on her lower abdomen...
As the king of a country, Wu Qingmei was not the kind of delicate and pretentious woman, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe her as vigorous and vigorous. She set off and left early the next morning. No matter how reluctant she was in her heart, she did not show it at all.
On the contrary, De Yunjing felt like an abandoned party.
He had been watching the Sanluo Dynasty floating fleet disappear into the distant clouds on the horizon before he looked away, and then returned to his residence with a particularly complicated mood. Next, he had to familiarize himself with the examination room.
The reason why Yunjing's mood is complicated is that Yunjing has no bloodline in his two lives, and he will live for almost twenty years in this life. If nothing happens, he will give birth to his first child in ten months. This feeling is simply beyond words.
To describe, expect and feel anxious, and even feel at a loss...
Above the sky, the floating fleet of the Sanluo Dynasty sailed quickly towards the direction of Sanluo. In the luxurious room, Wu Qingmei stood alone in front of the window, facing the direction of the cloud scenery through the window, as if she was separated from him.
Staring at each other.
She didn't know how long it took for her to look away, and put her hand on her abdomen. There was a hint of maternal brilliance between her eyebrows. Where she put her hand, there was a faint life growing and nurturing in her belly.
"Actually, I don't feel wronged by being with you. You are as good as you. Even if you are the king of a country, it doesn't matter. When disaster strikes, no one knows what will happen in the future. I don't want to leave any regrets in my life. No matter what happens in the future,
No matter what happens, I will let our child grow up healthily and tell him (her) what an amazing father he (she) has..." Wu Qing murmured with an eyebrow.
If there are other people who are familiar with Wu Qingmei at this time, they will find that she is a little different. She is still her, but she gives people an extremely dangerous feeling, just like a ferocious tiger around a cub, which makes people frightened.
!
After bidding farewell to Wu Qingmei, when Yunjing returned to his residence, he had already given instructions in advance and Song Yan was already prepared, saying: "Master, the procedures for entering the examination room to familiarize yourself with the environment have been prepared, do you think?"
"Let's go, the exam will officially start tomorrow, go and familiarize yourself in advance so as not to be in a hurry then," Yun Dingding nodded.
In fact, this process can be omitted, but Yunjing does not want to be too special. To participate in the imperial examination normally, he still has to go through the required procedures.
The number of candidates for each session of the Dali Imperial Examination is fixed. This is the ancestral motto of the founding emperor, and it has been passed down to future generations. Each session selects the best of 300 people, which means tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
Candidates take part in the imperial examination to show off what they have learned just to compete for those 300 places!
This can no longer be described as thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. The cruelty involved is simply unimaginable. It should be noted that the distance is very large, with a population of billions. With a huge population base, even if there are only a few candidates who are qualified to participate in the Jinshi examination,
When all parties come together, the number is huge.
There are three hundred places, divided into three lists: A, B, and C. Anyone who is on the list will have the title of Jinshi, which is the highest achievement as a scholar.
Among them, there is not much difference between the second and third rankings. They are just different rankings. They are both Jinshi status, and there is no sense of superiority over the other. It can be said that in these two lists, as long as there is a name on the list, everyone is on the same page.
At the same height, the ranking is just a reflection of what one has learned. It is regarded as an explanation to oneself and has no impact on the subsequent career. There is no preferential treatment if you rank higher than me. What really affects the career is the performance.
something outside.
The situation is different for the first-ranked Jinshi. Those 100 places are also called Jinshi, and they are for entering the palace to meet the emperor. At that time, the emperor will hand-pick the number of Jinshi, and they can be said to be the disciples of the emperor.
There is a process when the first-ranked scholars enter the palace to meet the emperor. The emperor will randomly ask questions for the hundred first-ranked scholars to answer. The top three will be selected, and the top three will be awarded the title of No. 1 and the second best. Those three titles can be said to be the highest honors for scholars.
Well, the gold content is much higher than that of the four great talents.
In fact, the test for becoming a top three Jinshi is optional. In many cases, it has already been determined in previous imperial examinations. The so-called test for entering the palace is almost just a process.
If you can be ranked among the top three, then you will be a truly glorious ancestor whose fame will spread all over the world, and you will be paraded on horseback in the spring breeze and be admired by thousands of people.
This is the imperial examination system of Dali, which has been continued since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
There are tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 candidates, and only 300 Jinshi places are really too few. However, it does not mean that others who fail in one imperial examination will have no chance to obtain Jinshi places.
If after the three-rank Jinshi quota is filled, the students who participated in the imperial examination performed very well in some aspects and were recognized by the superiors, they would have a chance to live with the title of Jinshi.
Tong Jinshi is also a Jinshi, and he can still be an official, but because of the addition of the same character, the title of Jinshi is very important. It is better than the title of Juren, but not much better. He cannot integrate into the circle of top three Jinshi. As an official, he can do it
In the end, his achievements are limited, and without outstanding performance, he may end up with no more than a third-rank official in his life.
The number of Tongjinshi is not fixed. Sometimes there are more, sometimes less. Sometimes there are thousands, and sometimes there are dozens. It mainly depends on whether certain departments need officials to fill the vacancies. The decision depends on the superiors.
Decide.
Because of the relative embarrassment of having the title of Jinshi, many candidates would rather take the exam again next time and refuse such a status. The court did not force it, after all, it could not dissuade people's enthusiasm.
If nothing else goes wrong, there will probably be a lot of candidates for the imperial examination this time, because the crown prince needs to expand his team when he first establishes himself, which gives many candidates who cannot enter the third list a chance to advance.
The title of Jinshi is already at the end of the scholar stage. I study hard in a cold window and wear it with an iron inkstone. To get to that point, the sadness in it is not what outsiders can understand.
The area around the examination room has already been under martial law. Not even a mosquito can fly in without a sound. Once the imperial examination begins, no one will be allowed to approach within a kilometer radius of the examination room to prevent any noise from affecting the performance of the candidates.
When Yun Jing and Song Yan arrived outside the examination room, the place was packed with people. There were many candidates queuing up from all directions to get familiar with the examination room.
The time to get familiar with the examination room was not this day, it started a few days ago, but there were still a large number of people, and many people repeated it many times, not to leave cheating methods, but because they were worried that they would make a mistake and delay the exam.
It's never wrong to get familiar with it a few times.
As for leaving cheating methods during the familiarization process, don’t even think about it. After the familiarization time is over, the entire examination room will be carefully checked. Anyone who dares to leave cheating materials in advance will be treated as cheating and will be deprived of credit at the least.
Let all your efforts be in vain, and in serious cases, you may go to jail or even implicate your family!
Therefore, no one dares to act recklessly at this time, and no one dares to make fun of his own future after reaching this point.
When they arrived outside the examination room, Yun Jing and Song Yan lined up to enter the examination room, which did not arouse people's attention. It was not that no one knew Yun Jing, but he used a little trick to not be so high-profile, otherwise he would definitely become the center of attention once he appeared.
As the team advanced, many people around were discussing things about this imperial examination. Among them, the most talked about thing was Yun Jing, after all, he was too special.
Just as Wu Qingmei said, almost everyone is gearing up to compete with Yunjing. This is people's only chance. After this time, people will not dare to have such an idea, or even in any other aspect.
In a sense, Yunjing can be regarded as "having fun with the people". To be more serious, it can even be said to have lowered the height of the mythical realm, which is quite down-to-earth...
Entering the examination room went smoothly, as long as you showed the relevant procedures. Yunjing's deliberate actions did not cause any disturbance, and it was just a matter of getting familiar with the examination seats.
The entire examination room occupies a large area and can accommodate 200,000 candidates at the same time. If the number of candidates exceeds the expected number, there is space next to it to temporarily increase the number of examination seats.
The examination room is in the shape of a staircase, facing the same direction, with the front lower and the back higher. The examiner can inspect the entire examination room from the front. Although the examination room is large, as an examiner at this level, who does not have amazing eyesight?
Each candidate has a separate room, which is not big and has walls on three sides. He can only look forward and cannot see anyone else after entering the examination room. Once the examination starts until the end, candidates cannot leave the examination room for even half a step.
Not even in special circumstances.
"No. 31755 Ding..., let's go, let's go back." After becoming familiar with his examination position, Yun Jingjing nodded. This position was inconspicuous among the many examination positions. It was obvious that the court was not interested because of Yun Jing.
A little bit of special treatment.
I think Huang Changyang had already said hello to the court, so everything is fine.
It is worth mentioning that during the exam, the candidates only need to wear the same set of clothes. All other pens, inks, paper and inkstones are provided by the court. The meals for three consecutive days of the exam are also provided by the court to eliminate the possibility of fraud and improve the body shape.
The court attaches great importance to the candidates who have reached this stage. After all, so many candidates are a huge expense.
After the exam, the candidates can take away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone provided by the court. Even if they fail to pass the exam, it can be considered as a souvenir. However, those who failed the exam will not know what to think when they see the souvenirs in the future. Should they continue to work hard or fall into despair?
?
"Both pens, inks, paper and inkstones are provided by the imperial court. If the candidates get defective products by then, won't it affect the exam? Furthermore, will it affect their performance if they are not handy?" Song Yan couldn't help but gurgled after leaving the examination room.
road.
Yun Jing smiled at this and said: "As you can imagine, the imperial court is naturally well prepared. Not only that the Four Treasures of the Study distributed have been strictly screened, but they also have backups. Once a defective product is found, it can be replaced as soon as possible. Of course, it is limited to the beginning of the exam.
In the past, once the exam started, you could only admit that you were unlucky. As for familiar tools that did not affect your performance, from another perspective, everyone is the same and starting from the same starting line. Wouldn't it be more fair?"
"That's right." Song Yan immediately stopped worrying.
One day passed quickly, and the next day was the time for the Jinshi Examination to start in Dali. I don’t know how many people could not sleep because of this. It is also possible that many people did not sleep at all because they had to get up in the middle of the night and rush to the examination room. They went late.
What if the examination room is closed? The next time will be in a few years. It is impossible to break the entire imperial examination rules because of one person.
Yunjing also made preparations in the early morning and went to the examination room accompanied by Song Yan. He brought nothing with him except a suit for the examination and the necessary procedures.
The lights outside the examination room were brightly lit, and countless candidates, accompanied by their families, headed to the entrance of the examination room. Carrying the expectations of their families and their years of hard work, they rushed to the ‘battlefield’ that determined their fate.
No one was making any noise. It was obvious that countless candidates were nervous, but few were really calm and composed.
Deliberately low-key, the cloud scenery did not attract people's attention.
I heard that this year’s ‘Four Great Talents’ also took the exam, but they didn’t enter the exam room in the same direction as Yunjing.
As the team moved forward, it was Yunjing's turn to enter the examination room.
When you enter the examination room for the Jinshi Examination, it is different from the Tongsheng Xiucai Examination. There is no process of stripping off your clothes for inspection.
Of course, the imperial court did not give up the inspection because every candidate became self-conscious, but replaced the inspection with other methods.
There is a two-foot-diameter bronze mirror erected at the entrance of the examination room, which was not there when I was familiar with the examination room yesterday.
This bronze mirror is called the Mirror of Asking the Heart, and it has the blessing of the spirit and will of the mythical realm. Every candidate who faces the Mirror of Asking the Heart cannot pass the test of his own psychology if he has any ghosts in his heart. He will confess in front of the mirror that he has lost this time.
Qualifications for imperial examination.
This method is quite good. It eliminates people with evil intentions and avoids the humiliation of candidates.
After all, the candidates who have reached this stage are all qualified to be officials, and even stripping naked for examination is unbearable for anyone.
After successfully entering the examination room, Yunjing asked Song Yan to go back. When he arrived at the examination seat, he quietly waited for the examination to begin.
