Respectfully ask Your Majesty to kill the immortal

Chapter 270 Palace Exam
The day finally dawned, and this day was a day for Dagan to pay attention to the whole country.

The first imperial examination after unification, and a large number of students were selected. This news shocked the world.

Of course, what ordinary people don't know is that such resources have nothing to do with them.

Most of the announced list of candidates are immortal cultivators, with the occasional few descendants of noble families mixed in.

In the eyes of ordinary people, those who were not selected are just "performing abnormally".

Today is the imperial examination, which also means that this imperial examination has come to a perfect conclusion.

The place where the palace examination was held was not the usual place to go to court. Xu Mochen found another palace and managed to set up hundreds of tables.

At the same time, there were also courtiers, but because of etiquette, Xu Mochen did not arrange seats for them this time.

Then there is the emperor, and the "harem political group" that is indispensable for a faint king.

When the time comes, the selected students who represent Dagan Wendao will enter the main hall in order.

Each table had its name and number posted on it, and everyone knew where they were, so there were no accidents at the scene, and everyone was seated securely.

Everything was ready, it was Xu Mochen's turn to make the opening remarks.

He sat on the top seat with a smile, and on the left and right were concubines Dexian and Concubine Yong'an, Zhao Lingbo, the owner of Yong'an County.

The staff of the council are waiting in the apse.

Xu Mochen's eyes slowly swept across the students.

It was the first time for these students to see the emperor, even though Hunjun had long been famous.

They didn't have much awe of the emperor, but Xu Mochen had made great efforts in the past two years, and the killing of several departments was not publicized, but it was not a secret in the world of ten directions.

Everyone is watching what kind of emperor can cultivate immortality.

oh!He looks like a little boy, and his demeanor is pretty good.

Xu Mochen didn't care, he smiled and said, "You all got first-class results in this imperial examination.

I don't really have any big ideas about today's palace test, it's just to meet everyone in advance.

In the future, when you enter official careers and become court officials, we will still have many opportunities to meet each other. "

Everyone didn't expect him to speak from here, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen.

"Today is a good day," Xu Mochen talked eloquently, "everyone said that the fish leaped over the dragon's gate, and they were talking about the current scene. It's gratifying."

Everyone muttered, Your Majesty, we are not fish jumping over the dragon's gate, we are dragons encircling tigers.

There is nothing to celebrate. Today's results were all predicted by us a long time ago.

Xu Mochen ignored their thoughts and continued to speak: "There are some things that I didn't intend to say on such a festive day.

But for the sake of great work, for the sake of the world, and for the people, I thought about it, and felt that I still had to say something.

This man is always changing.

For example, before the great reunification, the entire imperial court worked together to defend against the enemy, and this achieved the great unification of the country.

It is a pity that after the unification of Anyi, some ministers did not think about making progress and did a lot of extraordinary things.

I don't want to deal with them, but what can I do?
All the mouths of the world can't be blocked. "

As he said that, he stood up: "The eyes of the masses are discerning, so what I want to tell everyone here is.

Don't think that if you pass the imperial examination and enter the official career, you will have nothing to worry about.

Remember, the people are behind you and the people are on your shoulders.

Water can carry a boat and capsize it. The key to success or failure does not lie with me, but with the people of the world. "

……

For some reason, everyone felt a faint coercion spreading in the hall.

Emperor, this is not an opening statement, but a warning, and a blatant warning.

It was the first time for them to deal with Xu Mochen, and now they really saw the character of the Immediate Emperor.

It is definitely not enough for the leader to speak without half an hour.

After Xu Mochen finished beating, he still didn't forget to remind the prime minister: "What do you think, Ai Qing?"

The corner of the prime minister's mouth twitched a few times: "Your Majesty's earnest (fist) teachings will definitely benefit the students a lot."

After finishing speaking, Xu Mochen sat down with satisfaction, and waved his hand to signal the start of the palace examination.

The topic of the palace examination was also given by him himself, and it was more targeted.

Of course, the exam questions are different from the national teacher recruitment exam he held.

After the announcement was made on the spot, these elite students were either pondering, concentrating on their pens, or scribbling hard.

The scene was quiet, Xu Mochen stood up, and looked along the tables one by one.

I have to say that these people are still capable, at least the characters they write are all at the level of calligraphers.

As for the content of writing, each has its own focus, but Xu Mochen read it carefully several times, but he didn't break through the existing framework.

The background of the times was there, and he didn't say anything.

It took most of the day to come and go, and it was getting late.

Electric lights had been installed in the main hall long ago, and at dusk, they were all turned on, illuminating the room brightly.

Finally, a student finished the manuscript and presented the completed paper respectfully.

The hall, which was originally quiet, seemed to have a tinge of vitality, and gradually began to move.

The students handed in the papers one after another, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites sealed them up.

These papers will be sent to the emperor after preliminary review.

No. [-] picks and the like, of course, have to be handpicked by the emperor.

Even the top ten, Xu Mochen has the right to decide.

But these are just the rankings of the exams. To be an official in the future, you have to practice step by step.

As for the rankings after the top ten, the general emperor just glanced at them, and he also chose to choose some from them, and specially promoted them.

Xu Mochen didn't have that thought, left and right were the process of a cultivator, and he just finished it.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, worried that something might go wrong in the palace examination, now everything looks normal.

The students and courtiers withdrew one by one in order, and Xu Mochen returned to the palace, waiting for the final result from the Ministry of Rites.

As a mortal, it would take a lot of time to read these papers, but a cultivator is very fast.

What's more, they can determine the superiority or inferiority by relying on their literary spirit.

An hour later, Xu Mochen received the final list.

When I opened it, the one ranked first was indeed Ouyang Yongren.

Xu Mochen has read this person's article, and it is indeed in line with the way of a saint.

No.2 is Liu Yong, a leader in the Grammar School.

No.3 is named Zhou Sheng. Behind this person, the Ministry of Rites added a little explanation that he is the descendant of the first sage, Duke Zhou.

Xu Mochen was slightly surprised. This first Duke of Zhou was considered to be an immortal cultivator 3000 years ago.

Before Zhou Gong, there were naturally saints, but the world of the ten directions dies once every 3000 years, which is too permanent to exist and will not remain unchanged.

Xu Mochen didn't look at the name after that.

"Your Majesty," Tang Derun arranged the brush and inkstone, "it's time for you to order."

Xu Mochen picked up the pen, with a smile that was not a smile: "Ai Qing thinks, how should I decide the final ranking."
