At the same time, the body of Fellow Daoist Eagle at the bottom of the sect came out of the secret room, followed the secret passage, came to the outside of the sect, merged with Yunyan, turned into a giant eagle with a size of five meters, and flew overseas s position.
It planned to recruit a hundred demon cultivators under it, and ruined the imperial examination this time.
The sword master walked out of the palace and looked towards the imperial capital 20 miles away.
"The sword master has a good plan." The martial master came to the sword master at some time, and looked at the departing fellow eagle, "I never thought that overseas has been gathered by the sword master, so the next step is to abolish the buddhaist eagle. Abandoned sons, and let the imperial court get rid of them. In this way, the sea will belong to you and me. The rest is how to get rid of the two new holy sects."
"It's best to let the imperial court get rid of them together." The sword master turned and walked towards the main hall, "As long as the world's resources and incense and vow power belong to you and me, the road can be expected."
The sword master looked at the cup in the hall, "Fellow Daoist Ying took the cup before, his spiritual thoughts were condensed, but he was about to step into the hole. It is inevitable that we will steal your vow power."
Over time.
No matter how Fellow Eagle finds someone.
The distance to the imperial examination is getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere in the imperial capital planned by the sword master and others is getting more and more lively.
Until the early morning of No. 14th, to be precise, it was four o'clock at night.
In the middle of the night when every house closed its doors and turned off the lights, today the city was full of prosperity. The red lanterns on the streets dispelled the cold of the spring night and brought extra clarity to the inside and outside of the imperial capital.
It's just that most of the pedestrians walking on the street today are candidates living in the city.
Some of them came from other places, and left the inn alone with their luggage on their backs, heading for the imperial examination room built outside the city.
There are also some people who walk easily, just take a letter of 'textual research', and walk towards the outside of the city leisurely.
"Hot buns~" On the street, many vendors got up early and were selling their own breakfast.
"Slow down, slow down", some big families in the imperial capital lit up lanterns, let the guards push the carts, distributed free food, and wished the talented scholars to be named on the gold list.
But occasionally it is accompanied by the sound of 'cracking' iron armor.
The guards and soldiers in the city also roamed the streets, maintaining order and bringing a chilling atmosphere.
Such a mixture of excitement and silence is also a great spectacle of the imperial examination event.
"Hurry up, hurry up", some local residents of the imperial capital sent their children or their fathers to the examination room.
The ages of imperial examination candidates range from seven or eight-year-old geniuses to old people in their twilight years.
Sometimes they have difficulty in their legs and feet, and they are not accompanied by their family members, but they are escorted by soldiers.
Make sure that every student inside and outside the imperial capital can enter the examination room smoothly.
Besides.
Some vendors also took advantage of the bustling market and placed their stalls on both sides of the street.
When the soldiers patrolling nearby saw it, they also moved to the outside of the street together with their stalls to keep the road open.
In such a lively rush, the imperial examination is getting closer and closer.
The talented scholars in the city also gradually left the city.
Of course, there are also talented people who live outside the city and go directly to the examination room ten miles away from the imperial capital.
If you look at it from the sky, under the dark night, there are densely packed crowds on a brightly lit road leading to the examination room.
at the same time.
On the plain outside the city.
This is a large examination room covering an area of seven miles in radius, with a total of four hundred entrances and exits.
There are [-] small examination rooms in all directions, adding up to hundreds of thousands.
Enough for all cities and counties, even monks from overseas, and monks from all over the mainland.
at this time.
In the examination room.
Zhang Fengzheng led Zhang Er and the master on patrol, followed by more than 50 patrolling examiners.
Not surprisingly.
Zhang Feng was the deputy examiner of the imperial examination, second only to the university scholar who was the chief examiner, and the prime minister and sage who were in charge of the palace examination.
And Zhang Feng will not let his own people idle, let alone become an official, but let his own people wander around without a title.
Now, Zhang Feng took advantage of his status as a deputy examiner to specially approve two official positions in the cabinet, handed them over to the prime minister, and went to the cabinet warehouse to take out two official uniforms.
At this time, Zhang Er was wearing a proctor patrol suit.
This kind of 'examination patrol' is similar to the security during school examinations, and it is also the clothes that only 'observing the cabinet' personnel can wear.
Now when Zhang Er is patrolling beside Zhang Feng, he feels very proud!
And he never dreamed that a little innate martial artist, a poor man who came out of a small mountain village, would one day come to the imperial capital, and even be beside a powerful adult in Daliang!
If this is a trip back to the hometown, the folks must not set up a three-day and three-night running water feast?
is also like this.
Zhang Er pays great attention to his appearance and is more loyal to Mr. Zhang.
Chapter 253 The Opening of the Imperial Examination
"Master Hui, the fifth row of examination rooms has been arranged"
On the left of Zhang Feng.
The master is wearing the 'invigilator uniform', a serious invigilator, and the other nine cabinet examiners are in charge of all the examination rooms in five rows and three rows.
Including when he took part in the township examination a year ago.
He is a real cultural person, a scholar, and really understands the layout of the examination room, unlike Zhang Er who is inexperienced.
Now when he was reporting to Zhang Feng, he said all the truths, which made many examiners nod secretly, and they didn't think that Mr. Zhang was nepotism.
But let's be honest.
The master did not expect today that he returned to the imperial capital again today, and when he took the general examination again, he did not come back as a candidate.
Instead, he returned to the imperial examination as the invigilator and as the teacher he feared the most during the exam.
The master of 'Fate Makes People' has only this idea now, and he passed by the examination room next to him, looking at the crowd of candidates outside the examination room.
For a while, the low-pitched recitations of 'buzzing' gathered together, making it particularly ear-piercing and roaring.
The master knows that they are reviewing, so it can be regarded as temporary cramming.
There are many candidates like this, and they all want to take advantage of this moment under the "pressure of life and death" to memorize a little more, even if it is not necessary.
However, Zhang Feng's spiritual consciousness covered the entire examination room, and he observed more carefully than the master.
It was also found that some candidates had no pressure, and instead chatted with a few friends, talking about the beautiful scenery in this section of the imperial capital.
Among them, it is in the southeast area.
Zhang Feng scanned with his spiritual sense and found an interesting person.
At this time, the examinee was holding the books tightly in both hands, and as the opening of the imperial examination was getting closer, he was sweating profusely.
But the two maids next to him kept dipping their handkerchiefs in cold water to wipe them for their young master.
It's just that this young master didn't enjoy the tenderness at all, instead he was about to cry.
Because his father said that if he can't rank in the exam and become an official, then he can only go back and inherit the family's thousand acres of fertile land, five gold shops, twelve rice shops chained to three cities, and he has to be similar to that person. The glamorous Qi Chengcheng married General Liu's daughter.
He didn't want that.
He really wanted to gain fame.
"Nerdy beauties don't know how to enjoy themselves"
Not far away, a strong candidate couldn't help laughing at the young man's calm posture.
"You don't know who he is?" A candidate next to him saw the majestic candidate laughing at the young master, but he said more, "I know that he is a young master, even if he fails the exam, there is nothing wrong with him. So you should worry about it first. yourself"
"Hey! So he's a young master?" The strong candidate was even more disdainful, because his father was a minister of the Military Machine Pavilion, his uncle was the Lord of Guangcheng, and his brother was a third-rank official in the imperial court. He had nothing to be jealous of.
Similarly, there are indeed dragons and tigers who can take the imperial examination.
There are candidates from the families of ordinary people. They have gone through untold hardships and saved money at home to get the opportunity to take the exam.
There are also heirs born in wealthy families, even the families of important ministers. They don't worry about food and clothing since they were young, and they have all kinds of books at their fingertips.
There are also private school teachers who teach all day, which cannot be compared at the beginning.
Even if they fail the exam, they still have the inheritance.
This is like Zhang Feng, but also like the prime minister, the scholar, and Master Fang of Dali Temple.
There will be children in the future, and if you want to invite a teacher, the teacher will be the number one scholar in the cabinet.
And these teachers still want to teach on their feet.
Even if you fail in the future, you don't have any knowledge or force.
The royal family will also ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing for nine generations, and will be named a nominal hereditary Marquis of a Thousand Households, who will lie down at home and receive their salary.
This is what is often referred to as the afterglow of the ancestors.
There are not many people in Daliang who have received the afterglow of their ancestors like this.
Some of them specialize in mixing, and there are also inspirational and successful, glorious ancestors.
Now the four-year imperial examination is the most direct path for them, and it is also the most difficult path.
So whenever the four-yearly exam comes, the imperial capital is the busiest place.
It's a place where talent comes together, for all purposes, and for all kinds of people.
Zhang Feng was thinking, while walking ahead, scanning the rest of the examination room, waiting for the imperial examination to start at [-] o'clock in the morning.
More than forty invigilators followed behind.
"He Mingyao, a native of Hucheng, was recommended by the magistrate of Kangchuan County. He passed the provincial examination a year ago and is taking the imperial examination today."
With the sound of reports one after another, they are now holding a thick list of candidates, and while following Zhang Feng, they are reading the situation of each candidate and the recommender.
More than 40 voices read together.
Zhang Feng could hear them very clearly, and from time to time, he affirmed their work achievements and praised them a few words, which flattered them.
But when I heard that 'Yang Yuanwen, a person from Huaihe City, passed the provincial examination a year ago, and is taking the imperial examination today'.
Zhang Feng looked at the master next to him.
Master's real name is Yang Yuanwen.
"My lord" Yang Yuanwen heard the examiner's report on his work, and when the report came to him, he also laughed dryly, cupped his hands and said to Zhang Feng,
"Some time ago, when I was framed by the head arrester and was arrested in prison. The head arrester was afraid that I would not participate in this test, in case the invigilator would come to our county for interrogation, so he sent someone to cross out my name. Thinking that I am still on the imperial examination list this time.”
"Then what is the master's idea?" Zhang Feng looked at him with his head tilted, "If you want to participate in this test, I will arrange it for you."
"Yes yes yes" the examiner who read the master's name behind Zhang Feng, and several examiners next to him also took two steps forward, signaling that they could help with it.
"Thank you, my lord." The master shook hands with everyone, shook his head, and did not participate.
Because if you take part and do well in the exam, then of course there is no need to say much.
But if he did poorly in the exam, how would he explain to Mr. Zhang?
Isn't this just embarrassing Mr. Zhang!
What he is learning now is the way of being an official, and he knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and he only wants to do things well for Mr. Zhang.
Seeing that the master was unwilling, Zhang Feng looked at an examiner next to him.
Seeing Mr. Zhang looking over, he immediately took a step forward and handed over the three test papers in his hand.
These papers are the imperial examination questions.
Zhang Feng took the paper, glanced at it, and led the examiners to the main examination room.
This is a large pavilion with an area of about [-] square meters, located in the center of the examination room.
But apart from this one, every one hundred examination rooms, there is also a main examination room.
There are tables, chairs, pens and ink inside, for the examiners in the patrol center area to rest, or to record the names of cheaters.
Wait until you come to the most central room.
