Chapter 1121: The Final Palace Examination
Shen Xia was a little surprised.
In her opinion, there should be no problem for 10,000 people to pass the checkpoint!
As a result, Lord Liu did not speak before Shen Xia opened his mouth.
He took out a memorial and said, "Your Majesty, this is the number of people who got each question wrong."
Shen Xia raised her eyebrows: I didn’t notice!
Shen Xia smiled.
Lord Liu knew that he had made the right choice.
Shen Xia looked at the wrong questions.
Most people got the questions she assigned wrong.
"Yeah, well done."
September 18th.
The selected song list was announced early in the morning.
Some people are happy that someone is worried.
It turns out to be a simple question.
I didn’t pass, how could that be?
This is a nineteen-year-old candidate.
He laughed and said, "Ah! I actually passed."
Someone nearby who knew him said, "Wu Qi, how can a mere scholar pass this?"
Wu Qi raised his eyebrows: "Why can't I pass?"
The man who was speaking was a juren. When he looked at Wu Qi during the exam, he was surprised.
How can a scholar be qualified to take the exam with me?
I don't know what His Majesty means.
"You're just lucky this time. You won't be able to pass the next level."
Wu Qi didn't listen to him at all, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you care about me?"
After saying that, he left happily.
He wanted to tell his mother that he had passed away.
It’s so much fun.
The man looked at Wu Qi who was leaving: "Huh."
September nineteenth.
Second round of exams.
Everyone holds a test paper.
There were so many multiple-choice questions that there was no place to write the answers.
There are three examination rooms.
Everyone looked at the test paper in confusion.
When they came in, they were notified to sit down and not to write.
Now I finally understand why I am not allowed to write.
Because I don’t know how to start writing.
The examiner above was looking at everyone.
Then he took the test paper and walked to the middle, making sure everyone could hear what he said.
Let’s first talk about how to answer the test paper.
Everyone listened.
Now I understand, it’s that simple.
"Do you understand? Raise your hands if you don't understand."
This revision is even simpler.
The results came out on September 20th.
Don’t say that the person who answered the question doesn’t know how to do it.
The examiner who was marking the papers was stunned by this question.
This is both simple and difficult.
You can choose any of the four answers.
There is no difference.
It all depends on preference.
Each question has different options and different scores.
The final score must be above 90 points.
Shen Xia looked at the results handed over by Lord Liu.
More than 800 people.
This is too little.
More than 7,000 people were eliminated in one level.
Shen Xia nodded: "Okay, let's announce it tomorrow morning!"
East gate.
Wu Qi came and waited early in the morning.
He thought the questions were very simple.
Of course, he wasn't the only one who thought it was simple.
Everyone thought it was simple, so those waiting at the door for the announcement all had smiles on their faces.
The results were announced.
Just a few pieces of paper were posted.
Someone asked, "Father-in-law, is there a second batch that hasn't been revised yet?"
After all, it took so long to change it last time.
The young eunuch shook his head: "Only passed the test, 868 people, all are here."
Everyone listened.
Out of more than 8,000 candidates, only over 800 passed.
This is one in ten.
When everyone heard this, they started to panic.
Start looking for your name quickly.
Those originally happy faces now couldn't smile at all.
Wu Qi looked at them one by one.
Slowly began to feel disappointed.
Yes! I saw that some juren failed the exam, so how could I, a scholar, pass it?
The more I watch, the more disappointed I become.
Until the penultimate case.
Wu Qi squeezed past.
Confirm again.
"Ah! I passed, I passed."
Wu Qi was so excited that everyone started to pay attention to him.
And the man who looked down on Wu Qi before.
He was even more excited. Since he was a juren and failed, how could he, a scholar, pass?
"What? I, a juren, couldn't pass, how could you, a xiucai, possibly pass? I want to report him, he must have cheated."
Then he turned to the father-in-law at the top and said, "Father-in-law, I suspect he is cheating."
Wu Qi looked at the man angrily: "Zhu Shun, you slandered me, I didn't cheat."
He was happy though.
But if you are accused of cheating.
How can that be possible? That’s a character issue.
Zhu Shun: "Then tell me, how can a scholar pass the exam better than a juren like me?"
Wu Qi: “I…I…” He really doesn’t know!
It’s impossible for him to pass such a simple question by himself. He failed!
This explanation doesn’t make sense!
Seeing that Wu Qi couldn't explain himself, everyone wondered if he really had cheated.
At this time, the eunuch in the upper position spoke up: "Everyone, be quiet."
Everyone then looked at the eunuch in the upper position: "Please speak, eunuch."
"This question was asked by your majesty. Only your majesty knows the correct answer. This is a special test for selecting talents for the Imperial Department. It is not based on knowledge, so having good knowledge does not necessarily mean you can pass the test."
But he heard about it.
The examiners from the Ministry of Personnel looked at the questions and quietly did some of them.
There are not even two people over 90.
Lord Liu didn't even come up.
Lord Liu was one of the top ten Jinshi scholars back then.
There's nothing strange about this.
Everyone was curious about what kind of question His Majesty was asking!
When everyone heard this, they seemed to understand but not quite.
At this time, someone nearby said, "The student is only a scholar, and he passed, so it is normal for this student to pass."
Then there were also scholars who passed.
Wu Qi finally understood.
Zhu Shun was speechless.
The eunuch looked at everyone and said, "Okay, let's go! The third stage is the key. On September 21st, everyone will verify their identities at the East Gate and enter the palace for the examination."
The third test will be held outside the Taiji Hall.
September twenty-first.
Tu Chenyuan arrived at the east gate to stand guard early in the morning.
Everyone gathered outside the Tai Chi Hall.
Candidates cannot be allowed to walk around randomly.
You can only walk towards the entrance of Taiji Hall.
Fortunately, the weather is fine.
Otherwise, if it rains, so many people won’t be able to sit in the hall.
All candidates register at the door, get a seat number, and start looking for their seats.
Shen Xia got up early in the morning and had breakfast.
Since I know I will be invigilating today, I will go too.
So I didn’t sleep in.
Song Jin came to the Qianqing Palace early in the morning and waited.
When Shen Xia finished breakfast.
Gu Zizhan is here too.
Shen Xia took the two of them and walked towards the Tai Chi Hall.
The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked at Song Cejun.
Hurry up and ask someone to prepare another seat.
He thought His Majesty would only come with the Lord.
So we only prepared places for the lord and the other gentlemen.
This time, the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister were also present during the unified examination.
And several important officials.
When everyone saw Shen Xia coming, they all stood up.
salute.
"Flat body."
After Shen Xia sat down, he looked at the students waiting for the exam below.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs gave a look.
The gong below sounded: "Pen."
It’s not very far away.
Everyone was wearing different clothes.
I can't see the person very clearly.
We originally planned to recruit 500 people, but now it seems that we don’t know if there will be 500 people left in the end!
Shen Xia looked at the Prime Minister next to him.
In this way, everyone wears an official hat.
No one noticed that the Prime Minister already had a head full of silver hair.
This is because she, the new emperor, has been too worried about taking office.
