Working hard for sixty years.

March 9th.

It was the day for the imperial examinations in the court.

This imperial examination is the largest imperial examination since the founding of the country.

There are more than 9,000 juren from all over the country, including prefectures, provinces and counties, all gathered in Yujing City to take the exam.

This is something unimaginable in the past.

Originally, this was an important step for Emperor Gan Yang Pan to select talents for the country and take control of his own efforts.

But now, Yang Pan is forced to abdicate.

This imperial examination naturally fell into Yang Gan's hands.

The Jinshi selected for this imperial examination will be the cornerstone of Yang Gan's future control of the court.

In the past, the number of juren who had examined scientifically was about 5,000 to 6,000.

When the number was sparse, there were only three thousand.

This morning, almost from the third day, it was still dark.

When I couldn't see my five fingers, the entire Yujing City was already boiling.

Torches and lanterns are everywhere.

People come and go, and traffic is full of traffic.

The gate of Yujing City was also opened early.

Many juren who lived outside the city also began to enter the city at this time.

There were shouting, shouting, horses neighing, wheels rolling, and there were also teams of solemn soldiers shouting loudly to maintain order.

Today, the imperial court has dispatched two battalions of imperial guards.

A total of 5,000 elite soldiers maintained order on the road to the Gongyuan.

Even so, the whole scene was in chaos, like a boiling oil pan.

"This scene is really messy, why are there so many people?"

Xiao Mu helped Hong Yi carry a pen, paper and inkstone and said from the side.

Shen Iron Column and Shen Tianyang were surrounded by Ye Qianqiu and Hong Yi.

In front of Gongyuan Street.

Carriages were blocked.

Looking at the crowded people in front.

At first glance, it was all about human heads, carriages, and sedan chairs.

"All juren are masters, and the poorest people also have seven or eight slaves around them."

"Not to mention those rich families and aristocratic families, there are only a hundred slaves around them."

"This exam format is complicated, and basically I brought more slaves, more than 9,000 juren, and an average of seven or eight slaves around each person, that would be an army of 100,000."

"It's so confusing, it's predictable."

"No matter how big Yujing City is, it cannot accommodate so many people gathering together."

Hong Yi said from the side.

Today he was wearing a silver-black silk, a silver crown, and a cloud-like shoe under his feet. He was so elegant that he showed great spirits.

"Senior Brother Yi, can you go to the tribute court in advance?"

"Didn't you ask for a note from the emperor's senior brother?"

"It's so blocked here. I don't know when you'll get to the gate of the tribute courtyard."

Xiao Mu said from the side.

Ye Qianqiu said: "National ceremony, etiquette and law cannot be abolished."

"Xiao Mu, this is a scientific examination, not a normal play."

"A country needs to govern well, and not be careless in major matters."

Xiao Mu stuck out his tongue and said, "I understand, teacher."

"The teacher is right. This is the National Hall, and the emperor must follow the rules."

"Teacher, no, you can send it here."

"I'll just walk inside by myself."

Hong Yi said from the side.

Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "Since you've come out, you don't care about this time."

"Look at it."

"After all, it's a national ceremony, a rare occasion."

When Hong Yi heard this, he nodded.

"Hmm? Teacher, look at that child!"

At this moment, Hong Yi saw a sedan chair slowly squeezed over the street entrance there.

On both sides of the sedan chair, there were all slaves with strong martial arts skills, which immediately squeezed the crowded people away.

Then the sedan stopped.

A seven or eight-year-old child came out of the sedan chair.

This seven or eight-year-old child is wearing a brocade dress.

He is also a juren.

"Is this the prodigy in Fang's five-year-old scholar, seven-year-old juren, and nine-year-old teenager?"

"I thought he was just a little quicker in writing and read more books, and he was trained in his family, but now it seems that it is far more than that!"

I saw the seven or eight-year-old boy coming out of the street sedan chair.

Hong Yi was a little surprised and said to Ye Qianqiu on the side.

Ye Qianqiu smiled slightly and said, "I have heard of him as a teacher."

"Last night, your junior brother mentioned him to his teacher."

Hong Yi said: "What do you think of this square circle?"

Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "It's good to be a genius or a mediocre."

"Don't pay too much attention to him."

Hong Yi probably understood what Ye Qianqiu meant, so he calmed down.

I thought to myself that the teacher can hold on.

I am still too immature and I feel a little surprised when I see a little genius.

Many times, I still can't hold on.

If you can't hold on, it will easily make people take advantage of loopholes.

Pay attention in the future.

Hong Yi warned himself in his heart.

He has been with the teacher for seven years and has learned a lot from it.

In a subtle way, he was moving closer to the teacher.

At this time, Fang Yuan, the eight-year-old prodigy over there, said to the servants beside him, "Please carry the sedan chair back and leave one for me to take Wenmo."

"Fang Tie, stay, the rest can go back."

"Today's national ceremony should be solemn. You slaves, don't crowd here and cause trouble."

The sound of the square circle was extremely clear, and every word was like a pearl falling on a jade plate, and it was extremely hard.

There is a dignified and unquestionable deterrent.

"yes!"

A group of slaves with strong martial arts answered neatly, and then silently carried the sedan chair back.

The crowded crowds around him shouted loudly, and the slaves who were pretending to be powerful and arrogant, heard the voice.

Their movements involuntarily slowed down, and the sounds they made were much more converging.

The entire street became much quieter immediately.

It seems that this sound has a magic power that can make people unconsciously bound and even affect people's souls.
