Respectfully ask Your Majesty to kill the immortal

Chapter 232
On the outskirts of the capital, a carriage was driving slowly, followed by two men on horseback, who were Xu Mochen and his party in disguise.

Since he was pretending, he had to have a good appearance. Mi Luo, who disguised himself as a woman, became a young master, while Xu Mochen and Tang Derun disguised themselves as servants.

This time, the imperial examination was the first time since the reunification. The scale was unprecedented, and the Ministry of Rites acted very quickly. In addition to collecting a large number of homestays, it also expanded the outskirts of the station as a foothold for students.

Of course, inns or places with good conditions are reserved for immortal cultivators, while posthouses with mediocre conditions have become the territory of gentry students.

When Xu Mochen and the others arrived, they saw many carriages parked near the post station, and many horses tied to them.

A group of people dressed as students came in and out of the door.

Tang Derun went to make arrangements and quickly booked a room.

Xu Mochen and Mi Luo settled the carriage, and first went to the room to stay.

The room is not big, just a bed and a small table and chairs.

It is mainly reserved for the master who is rushing to take the exam. A servant like Xu Mochen usually has to make a big bed.

Naturally, these are all just a formality, and they won't really live there.

After settling down, Mi Luo headed to the hall with Xu Mochen and the two of them.

The cost of holding the imperial examination is relatively sufficient, so the food provided by the post station is good, and there are many tables in the hall, which are basically full of people.

They are all gentry students from various states, and many of them are on their way.

They came first, they have lived here for a few days, and they are very familiar with each other, chatting and joking while eating.

"After the reunification, think about it, it has been four years. It can be said that everyone is paying attention to the imperial examination this time."

"Today's son is sage, governing the country with benevolence and filial piety, and opening up the way of saints. This is a situation where the rule of law will flourish."

"Brother, I can only say half of what you said. The people in the capital have mixed opinions on the emperor."

"Not to mention anything else, the students are deeply appreciative of the hybrid rice developed by His Majesty."

"Farming is the foundation of great work. Thinking about the emperors of all dynasties, no similar thing has been done."

"There are also medicines from the National Medical Center and pharmaceutical factories that are very unusual and inexpensive, but they have cured many difficult and miscellaneous diseases."

"These are all for sure, but Mingjun still governs the country based on the way of a sage. It is difficult for people with extraordinary skills and skills to reach the stage of elegance."

"This post station has also installed some electric lights. It is very bright at night, and the wind can't blow it out and the water can't get wet. It's an eye-opener."

"It is said that for this kind of electricity, a large-scale project was launched in the barren land of Lanzhou, which wasted money and people."

"Speak carefully! Speak carefully! This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so please be careful what you say, brother."

Someone finished it, and everyone stopped discussing the emperor.

Mi Luo looked at Xu Mochen with a smile that was not a smile: "Look, you foolish lord still has some complicated arguments."

Xu Mochen didn't answer.

The students in the lobby turned to another topic.

"The imperial decree said that this time the imperial examination will recruit a large number of talents. Whether it is the Imperial Academy, the history books, or the decentralization, are there so many places that need officials?"

"I heard that the prime minister and others took the lead in bringing up the increase of government agencies in various states and counties. From this point of view, many officials are naturally needed."

"Although there are many admissions, but look, there are also many students who come to rush for the exam."

"I don't know what the topic is. In the chaotic world for hundreds of years, literature and Taoism were destroyed, and the focus of the exams in different countries is different. This time, the scope of the topic is difficult to guess."

"No matter how difficult it is, you can't get rid of the way of a sage. Those ancient books and classics can only be read and memorized."

"I don't know who came up with the topic. Is there any inside story?"

"You guys don't understand this. Those who have a way, naturally have a way..."

……

Xu Mochen couldn't help frowning as he listened: "Could it be that the test questions of the imperial examination will be leaked?"

Tang Derun was embarrassed: "It shouldn't be so. Your Majesty personally delineated the topic, gave it to the Ministry of Rites, and sealed it. Even a cultivator would not be able to see it.

only……"

After all, this is a world where one can cultivate immortals. Some immortal cultivators may have special supernatural powers, but he does not dare to guarantee it 100%.

Xu Mochen has read history books and knows some tricks in the imperial examination, especially in this era, the means of preventing cheating are not high.

"I just asked casually." Xu Mochen didn't get angry, "It's just that Aiqing goes back and checks in private."

If cheating broke out in the first imperial examination, it would be a real embarrassment.

Hearing the content of the following conversation, another change occurred.

"If I can jump into the dragon's gate this time, my marriage with the Cui family will be considered settled."

"Oh, what a coincidence, my family also thinks the same way. It's somewhat different to have fame and fame."

"They're all scholars, don't you want to be so direct, it's an insult to gentleness."

"Can you be gentle, brother Xinze, I don't believe that you were still gentle with your sister-in-law on the night of your bridal chamber."

"I don't know if you are gentle, but everyone is the same, and it will inevitably be mediocre and straight up and down."

Speaking of which, a group of people burst into laughter.

"Refined scum," Mi Luo sneered, "It's not a good thing if there are too many men, that's what I think about.

Hunjun, are you the same? "

Xu Mochen shook his head: "I don't need it."

"That's true, thinking about my father, there are three thousand beauties in the harem." Mi Luo looked back at him, "Your harem only has two concubines, and there are no girls around, are you in poor health?"

As he spoke, his eyes kept aiming.

Xu Mochen's face was livid, what's the matter.

After discussing youth, the students started to get down to business again.

"But this time, I don't know if the saint will come to the capital."

"The Duke of Zhou is the sage of literature in the world. The words of the imperial examination are related to literature, but literature and official career are different. Saints will not come."

"It's the students who copied a lot of the latest sage's words and bought them at a big price."

As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately became a sensation.

Everyone gathered around and watched the man take out a booklet.

"Let me take a look... Well, as expected of a saint, this debate is clear and the truth is contained in it."

"The latest? That's first-hand information."

"Copy it out and appreciate it together. Maybe you can answer the exam questions this time."

"Copying is fine, don't forget Aduwu."

"Brother Yi, you already have a lot of money, why do you still care about such a small amount of money?"

"That's right, it's orthodox to promote literature and Taoism."

Everyone was chattering, and the student with the pamphlet was proud, all he wanted was face.

Everyone put together the table, took out pens, ink, paper and inkstones, laid out the paper, and a student who was good at calligraphy volunteered to start transcribing.

This is to hang out for everyone to appreciate and figure out together, so the characters are written in relatively large size.

Words the size of a fist gradually appeared, and Xu Mochen found that there was a faint literary spirit on the students who were watching.
