Originally, the provincial examination was supposed to be held in the first month of the year, but when Saihan came and made various requests, it was delayed for a long time.
Then, another assassination occurred on the streets of Shangjing. King Lanling was seriously injured, and several other people were also killed.
Cang Xilin was furious and ordered the nine admirals to investigate the matter thoroughly, thus delaying the imperial examination.
In February, after the celebration of the young prince Cang Yiming's birthday, the belated imperial examination was finally held.
The best candidates from all over the world gathered in Beijing and first went through a brutal round of provincial examinations.
After being admitted, these people had to go through a round of palace examinations and be selected by the emperor to be the top three.
There is an additional procedure, that is to say, people who pass the provincial examination may still be dismissed?
Of course there will be some unpleasant moves and troubles.
It is quite normal for some students who have failed to make a name for themselves to think that the admission method is unfair and come to make trouble.
Some candidates who ranked low in the provincial examinations even surrounded the Imperial College with red eyes, shouting that if they were not given justice, they would seek death or rebirth.
The conflict got worse and worse.
One day in mid-February, there was even a big conflict. Many officials tried to rush into the Ancestral Temple to complain, but they were naturally blocked.
As a result, the original quarrel escalated into a fight, and then more and more people participated, and the scope of the impact became wider and wider...
"What are you all doing!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the street, immediately stopping the chaotic situation.
