The rise of Tianzhu of Daqin

Chapter 332 The Exam Begins

On the night of the second day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky began to snow lightly. By the morning of the third day, heavy snow had covered the entire street of Xianyang, but the Kyushu students waiting at the gate of Xianyang Academy did not feel cold.

At the entrance of Xianyang Academy, hundreds of students are eagerly looking forward to it. Even if they got this opportunity through someone's relationship, they still have their talents. Otherwise, the aristocratic family wouldn't let them seek fame under Yingxuan's face. .

Among them, the most eye-catching ones are the Tianjiao of the Kyushu Clan. They are the talents cultivated by the Kyushu Clan with all their strength.

However, the century-old heritage of the Kyushu clan, in addition to martial arts and literary skills, each of them has the erosion of the clan background, which should not be underestimated.

The way of martial arts, if they are successful in literature and Taoism, they can enter and leave the imperial court, and these aristocrats can rise to power.

The next ones are the old Qin family and the local family. Their martial arts talent and literary talent are not as good as those of the Kyushu family, but they also have their own unique advantages.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the aristocratic family has been the trend-bearers of Kyushu and the most trusted courtiers of the princes. They have their own unique views on court affairs.

Most of their fathers were officials in the empire, and under the influence of their ears and eyes, they are better at the way of being an official.

The next ones are candidates from various schools of thought. Although they are apprehensive, they still have confidence in their hearts.

The academic thoughts of various schools of thought have always been the best knowledge. If someone takes out of context, he can become a doctor. Military strategists and legalists are the mainstay of the empire.

But this does not change the fact that even the most respected and most prominent Confucianism and Taoism in the Warring States Period have never reached the pinnacle of power.

Most of these three factions are old acquaintances. They gathered together to discuss the matter of the academy assessment, and their words were full of confidence.

The rest are poor students, most of them don't know each other, although their clothes are shabby, they are very neat and tidy.

They have never received a systematic education. They listened a little in the east and learned a little in the west. They knew six or seven hundred characters. It just so happened that the Imperial Academy recruited disciples, and it was nothing more than taking care of the meals. Academy study.

The number of places in the big exam is limited, and they never have a chance, after all, they are far behind other people.

But fortunately, King Changge was the chief examiner, and the county academy had to give them two or three places, which was considered as a way of showing Yingzheng's face, otherwise God knows whether Yingxuan would reject the list submitted by the county academy and re-select the big exam students.

Disciples from humble families, in twos and threes, scattered all around. The powerful families disdain them to be with them, and they don't bother to put their faces on other people's cold buttocks. After all, they have read books and know a few big characters, so they still have the strength of character.

"This time, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

Compared with other counties, Kuaiji County and Dong County have more students from poor families.

In Kuaiji County, the powerful are Yingxuan's lackeys, big and small matters are all decided by Song Gushan and Song Que, and the two combined to select ten disciples from the powerful and ten students from the poor.

On the East County side, Zou Xin had the discretion to select fifteen students from poor families, five students from various schools and elites.

If it weren't for these five students who were very knowledgeable, he would be able to be ruthless and replace these five students if someone from a poor family was a little more competitive.

He is not afraid of offending the clan, after all, in the eyes of the clan, he is already Yingxuan’s lackey, the more determined he is, the deeper the clan will hate him, the more King Chang Ge trusts him, and the brighter his future will be .

However, the background of the humble family is a bit worse after all, 15 people is already the limit, any more will delay the results of this big competition.

After all, Yingxuan said that a student from Dongjun County can only become a supervisor of the Imperial Academy if he gets excellent grades in the final exam. He has already taken a huge risk for fifteen students from poor families.

"Brother Qinglian, Wentao and martial arts; Brother Wenren, with King Changge behind, I'm afraid it's a sure thing, right?"

Although the clans have already fought on their own, the relationship between the Kyushu Tianjiao is not bad, after all, they are young people, and their minds are not as deep as those of the powerful clans, nor are they as realistic and mercenary as the gangsters.

Therefore, when we meet, we can let go of the gap and chat for a few words.

"It's not as good as Confucius and Mencius in Linzi, who is well-educated. It's not as good as Brother Pei, who has lived in Hedong for a long time and has a solid foundation for advancing and retreating." Li Qinglian said lightly.

"Why don't you see Yi Qinglian and Li Fengdu?"

Eight of the top ten superpowers came, and the powers were not weaker than the powerful ones, and all of them came, except for the Yingui Sect and the Black Mountain and White Water Sect.

"In Liaodong, half of the generals are from the black and white water sects. Naturally, they don't bother to participate in this kind of big exam."

Pei Xuan said: "The Yingui sect has taken refuge in King Changge, and the sect has been disbanded, and they are devoted to serving King Changge. It is no different if you take the exam or not."

"Spineless Yinshan!" Wu Badao, the sage of Ba Dao Sect, said in a strange way.

"I probably understand the students who will take the exam at this moment. Except for the aristocratic family who can compete with us, pay attention to the favored son of the various schools of thought, others are not enough to rely on."

"This exam should be the best opportunity I've been waiting for. Three years later, when I take the exam again, the humble family won't be so vulnerable."

As soon as Wen Hou and Wen Baiqiu said this, everyone immediately nodded their heads in agreement, students from poor families dared not speak out in anger, and disciples from hundreds of schools also gave up in anger.

It is true that Tianjiao, a powerful family in Kyushu, is indeed the most powerful. Besides, they have added titles, so there is no need to turn against them at this moment.

"Damn it, you actually look down on us so much!" A poor disciple clenched his fists, unwilling to be humiliated.

"Forget it, we are a little behind them, but in 30 years from Hedong, in another 30 years, it will be Hexi."

Among the humble family, the leader said: "As long as there is an academy, it is a matter of time before the humble family rises and surpasses the powerful family. We will compete higher in the future."

Time went by little by little, and Xiaoxue became bigger, but the gate of Xianyang Academy was not opened at all.

The disciples of the aristocratic families have a solid background in kung fu, and naturally they don't feel the cold in brocade clothes and sable fur, but the disciples of the aristocratic families are already red-faced and shivering.

"Waiting like this, when will it end?"

Just when the humble disciples were about to be unbearable, the gate of Xianyang Academy suddenly opened wide, and several guards dressed as shadow guards came out from the gate.

"Students enter the examination room. As soon as they enter the examination room, they must not make any noise or talk to each other. They should go to the academy square to gather and wait in line."

"Miscellaneous people are waiting outside the examination room, and are not allowed to come closer to the academy for [-] meters. Those who violate it will be sent to Xianyang Prison."

After finishing speaking, the shadow guards retreated to the two sides, let the gate open, and the students poured into the examination room like a swarm.

Then the gate of Xianyang Academy was closed again, and a mythical powerhouse appeared, standing on the wall of the academy, and the aura turned into a barrier, blocking the connection between the students and the outside world.

"King Changge, what does this mean?"

A powerful man from a distant family who was watching from a distance tried to test the situation in the academy with his spiritual sense and touched the aura barrier. In a blink of an eye, a strong man appeared and surrounded him.

"Damn it, you dare to disturb the order of the examination room, and you simply don't pay attention to me, yet you still have the face to ask me what you mean?"

The voice had arrived before the Nesterns arrived.

"I met Xuanwuhou, I was just curious for a while, don't blame Xuanwuhou."

Nei Shiten didn't want the family to have a dispute, and said: "I am responsible for patrolling the order of the examination room and protecting the candidates. You just don't want to cause trouble for me."

"Also, don't use your spiritual sense to communicate with your students and answer questions for them. I'll forgive you once before the big exam starts. Next time, I won't be afraid to blame me for not being sympathetic and sending you to prison." Inside Stern said.

"Thank you Xuanwuhou for reminding me, I will write it down later."

Seeing that the clan was submissive, Nei Shiteng asked the person in charge of the Mythology to step down, but he muttered in his mouth.

"It's no wonder that Ying Xuan insisted on taking action to maintain order."

"You guys are really nothing, you cheated blatantly, and you don't know how to use some covert methods, you guys who don't know much."

"What the hell, I have no knowledge, and I still cheat?"

It's a blatant slander for a family member to be confused. This is to judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. A family member with a century-old reputation cannot do such a shameless thing.
