But if some candidates who are not up to the mark, they will probably panic when they are shouted and questioned by the invigilator.

After all, this is the imperial examination they have been preparing for for four years, or even a lifetime.

No one dared to talk back to the invigilator.

According to the laws of the Daliang Kingdom, Gan and the invigilator dare not use anything.

This world is like this, or what literati learn, and the first thing in the imperial examination is character, respecting teachers and respecting morality.

It's like today, before the exam and the questions are not determined, you dare to talk back to the examiner.

If this is an official in the court, no one would dare to accept such a lawless thorn to work under his hands.

And Mr. Hu knew about one case.

It was also while waiting for the examinees to answer the papers. As the chief assistant in the examination room, Mr. Hu had nothing to do, so he told this story to Zhang Feng and a dozen other cabinet ministers.

He said that the cause of this case seems to be that 12 years ago, a "scholar in the imperial examination" thought that he was talented in literature and could hold a high position.

Unexpectedly, he was eventually assigned to a small town as a small food officer.

Under such an arrangement, the gifted scholar was naturally disheartened and dissatisfied.

He is the top three in the imperial examination, why is he only looking at food?

Especially the magistrate of that county, his immediate boss, was still an illiterate officer who had little knowledge and only relied on the recommendation of his fellow villagers, his dissatisfaction was even more deeply rooted.

So much so that after he took office in Qiushou, he confronted the county magistrate everywhere.

The county magistrate is a good-tempered elder, and he also knows the dissatisfaction of talented scholars, so he doesn't have the same knowledge as the younger generation.

I usually do business as usual, and I don't embarrass talented people because of attitude problems.

It's just after the autumn harvest, when it's winter.

The county magistrate told the talented man very seriously to pay attention to the warehouse during the winter, and told him thousands of times, ten thousand times, to tell him that the weather is cold and dry, be careful of water, and stop messing around every day.

Usually it can be casual, but now it is really a business, which is related to whether the weather will be bad next year, and if there is no harvest, whether the people can rely on food reserves for relief.

Including in the dark, the magistrate also felt that the talented man was giving up his talent here, so he wrote a memorial overnight and asked the guards to hand it over to the city lord, and let the talented man go up when he was about to retreat.

Although the county magistrate has no culture, he understands righteousness and knows what it means to abdicate and let the virtuous.

Including the fact that talents can come here, it is also because of the trust of the county magistrate, who wants to train a successor.

Who knew that after listening to the county magistrate's careful instructions that day, the gifted scholar still ignored the county magistrate's instructions.

He called a few friends at night, went to the lake to drink and enjoy the winter moon. He didn't care about the grain storage, but handed it over to a deputy who could only flirt.

But the deputy was originally just a small food guard, but he was a fine person, knowing that a talented person had a high spirit, and he didn't want to start step by step.

So he spoke out for many days, fighting against injustices for talented scholars every day, talking about the injustice of the court.

The gifted scholar who was sulking all day long heard it, of course he appreciated it, and listed it as a bosom friend, and wrote a letter to the county magistrate, promising to be a deputy.

It's just that this deputy doesn't have much other skills, but he likes to gamble.

He took advantage of the few days when the talented man was away to enjoy the moon, and he was the most official in the grain depot, so he called several friends, and when he was on duty at night, he played a game of cards in the grain depot and won two strings of money. .

Also on the night of the third day, he won another bet, and his friends booed and invited the guests to drink.

He was overwhelmed, and they drank too much, but accidentally knocked over the forbidden oil lamp in the grain depot.

As a result, the granaries in the county caught fire that night.

Their drunkenness was dissipated and evaporated by the bright fire in an instant, they woke up in fright, and ran out, but half of the grain in the warehouse was burned.

Until the fifth day, a dramatic scene came.

The letter of recommendation for the county magistrate of the talented person, together with the approval letter of the criminal responsibility for the talented person's dereliction of duty, was presented on the table of the city lord.

I heard that the city lord came to this county that day with a sword in hand, facing the crying people, he insisted on killing this talented man with his own hands.

It was the county magistrate who tried hard to stop him, so that the drunken genius in a brothel escaped.

After Master Hu finished talking about this matter, he also heaved a long sigh. He didn't know whether he was lamenting the tricks of good fortune, or he was angry at that talented man with a higher heart than the sky.

The bright opportunity had come, but he fell into it by himself.

"I remember that he was sentenced to five years in prison." Hearing this story, the master stopped doing the test papers, and instead perked up his ears, listening to it as if it were a story.

"That's true." Master Hu shook his head, "It's just that before the trial in Dali Temple, this talented man wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river. When he was finally fished out of the river, his legs were already frozen to death."

"Oh..." The examiners who heard the story nearby also let out a long sigh.

Maybe if they were that talented scholar at that time, they would also be dissatisfied?

Zhang Feng didn't have much emotion after hearing this matter.

Because there are too many such things happening in real history.

And when Zhang Feng finished listening to the story, he saw Mr. Hu was about to tell a new story.

The sound of 'rustling' wind came from the direction of the imperial capital.

In the distance, a dark cloud swept across the sky and appeared above the examination room.

Zhang Fengduan sat in the examiner's room and looked up, not being moved by the strong evil spirit in the sky.

Master Hu and the others couldn't sit still, and stopped telling stories. Instead, their expressions were concentrated, and they hurriedly manipulated the awe-inspiring righteousness that the bachelor had planted in the examination room, exaggerating the aura inside and outside the examination room, forming a real aura barrier , protecting the entire examination room.

It can be seen with the naked eye that some candidates also exude a strong literary spirit, which makes the barrier more concise.

But as the dark cloud turned into a battle axe, it slashed up suddenly, with a loud bang, after seven hits, the spiritual energy outside the barrier splashed and wiped out each other, but cracks appeared one after another.

"If the great scholars of your Daliang Kingdom are here, I will be a little more afraid."

Accompanied by wild laughter spread across the wilderness plain.

A corner of the dark cloud parted, and inside stood 36 Nascent Soul Demons.

At first, a big man in black armor was grinning at the people in the examination room below and said, "But now, they may have been killed by the Eagle King, so you still want to stop us?"

clatter—

The barrier in the sky is indeed as the demons said, after being chopped down by the dark cloud battle axe, there are more and more cracks, and it will soon be broken.

"What should I do?" Some candidates turned pale with fright and didn't know what to do.

But also in this moment.

Suddenly a dazzling sword light pierced through the void, easily pierced through the barrier that could only be broken through a hundred blows with the giant ax of the dark cloud, and swam to the top of the dark cloud, beheading all the big monsters in an instant, their flesh and souls were all scattered , the dark clouds dispersed.

The soft sun shines down.

Where the demons were before, there were only 32 round demon pills left that fell from the sky, floated into the examiner's room, and landed in Zhang Feng's hands.

Zhang Fengduan sat in the first place, his eyes swept around, 32 demon pills circled around the palm of his hand, and his voice spread throughout the imperial examination room, "Continue to answer the paper."

When the words fell, Zhang Feng looked at Master Hu who was stunned, "Everything is fine in the imperial examination. Does Master Hu have any other stories?"

Chapter 256 The Purpose of Imperial Examination in Daliang Kingdom

"Yes" Mr. Hu subconsciously responded, but he didn't expect that many Nascent Soul monsters would attack, but he was cut off by his own deputy examiner with a single sword, and he was a little stunned for a while.

Zhang Feng didn't care about them, but glanced around, his spiritual consciousness spread throughout the examination room, and found that many candidates had calmed down and continued to answer the paper.

It seems that everything before is far less important to them than the current imperial examination.

The Moti crisis has been resolved, but there is still work to be done on the exam papers.

Then the next step must be to answer the question.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Feng was relieved a lot.

I'm afraid that because of the influence of the big demon before, they will have problems with their mentality in answering the papers.

If this is the case, these big monsters really don't deserve to die.

Zhang Feng thought about it, opened his mouth and inhaled, and the 32 demon pills surrounding his palm were all sent to the dantian Yuanying by himself.

Holding the incense cauldron, Yuanying also collected all the gradually shrinking demon cores, purifying the breath of the big demon on the demon cores.

After the purification is complete, these demon pills can become their own aura.

The quality is similar to the fourth-order crystals in the previous world, but they have the same origin.

At the same time, when Mr. Hu saw that Mr. Zhang not only observed the examinees' questions, but also began to kill demons and practice kung fu, he even exchanged glances with the cabinet ministers next to him, and understood why Mr. Zhang was the person in charge of the examination room.

Because of such strength, such a view of the overall situation, and such a method of eating monsters without a bottom line in his heart, he can indeed solve all problems.

But if they were replaced, it would probably be enough.

First, it is not necessarily necessary to have beaten these big monsters.

Second, even after killing the big demon, these demon pills must be handed over to the cabinet and the court, and the prime minister and the academicians will completely dispel the evil spirit inside them.

That's like Mr. Zhang, if you eat it as soon as you say it, you won't be afraid of the evil spirit in it?

Also they have an idea.

That is, are these big monsters monsters, or Master Zhang is a demon?

They thought to themselves, feeling that Mr. Zhang's method was more like a villain than these monsters.

But following such an adult, they feel that they are extremely safe.

For a while, they were thinking in their hearts, and their thoughts were messy, their eyes flicked left and right, and they exchanged reassuring emotions with their colleagues next to them.

When Zhang Feng was refining the demon pill, he took a look at them and felt that the bigger their official position, the more pure they were than some candidates in the examination room.

Just because it is in the middle of the first row on the east side.

In the small examination room.

An Xiucai, who I brought along, was indifferent to the attack of the big monster from the beginning to the end.

His eyes were fixed on the examination paper all the time, and the brush danced on his fingertips, writing delicate words one by one.

It seems that nothing can affect his answer.

Or for him, the imperial examination is sacred, and the sacred is higher than his own life.

At the same time, according to Zhang Feng's spiritual sense, he found that there were still many candidates like An Xiucai.

Among them, in the fifth row and the sixth row of the examination room, there is a child who looks like he is about nine years old.

He sat on the small bench specially prepared for him by the examiner, looking at the test papers on the wide table.

When the big monster attacked just now, he only bit the pen holder from time to time, leaving small tooth marks, as if he was only troubled by these problems.

As for the monsters in the sky.

In his mind, those are things for adults, not children.

"Yang Xiucai of Xingling County"

Now, Zhang Feng glanced at him, and then asked Mr. Hu who was gradually calming down next to him: "Is he the youngest examinee in my dynasty for nearly a hundred years?"

"He..." Mr. Hu heard Mr. Zhang's question, quickly recalled a few times in his mind, and affirmed: "Master, Yang Xiucai is indeed the youngest scholar since the imperial examination. But there are also some younger candidates, but none of them have passed the exam. Township Examination"

As Mr. Hu said, he even talked about the imperial examination system of this dynasty and all kinds of unknown ways.

Zhang Feng listened and understood.

It is nothing more than that Yang Xiucai is too young, so young that as long as candidates of this age take the imperial examination, they will basically attract attention.

It's genius after all, and who doesn't like it?

But they are also too young, which makes their chances of being nominated for the gold list very low.

After all, the imperial examination is considered a comprehensive answer sheet, not a natural memory, and you can choose to memorize books by rote.

I have also read the exam papers myself, and know that the exam papers are divided into twelve papers, with a total of [-] points.

The first four volumes are filled in with ancient Chinese poems. There are one hundred questions, which account for ten points in total.

The fourth volume is the understanding of a certain passage in each book, accounting for ten percent.

The last four volumes are "Arranging Troops", "Agricultural Cultivation", "Famous Strategies for People's Livelihood", and the last item, how to teach others what you have learned.

The first three items are worth [-] points each.

The last item, 'being a teacher', accounts for 35 points.

But except for the first four volumes, which test the candidates' literary reserves and hard knowledge memorized by rote.
