Chapter 928: Spring begins, and mountain fire breaks out!
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han nodded slightly: "This is a very good move. It reflects the imperial court's care for the candidates. We must ensure that the rest area is in order and that medical officers are on standby at any time to provide timely and effective help to the candidates."
As the discussion deepened, various preparations gradually came to an end. Zhu Han knew that although careful arrangements had been made, he still needed to remain highly vigilant to prevent unexpected events. He turned to the general in charge of security and said solemnly: "General,
Security work around the examination room must be perfect, and no suspicious person is allowed to approach the examination room."
The general accepted the order and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the general has mobilized elite troops to conduct round-the-clock patrols and surveillance around the examination room to ensure safety and stability during the examination."
Zhu Han nodded to express his satisfaction, and then turned to Mr. Zhang, who was responsible for printing the test questions: "Mr. Zhang, how are you doing with the confidentiality of the test questions?"
Mr. Zhang bowed and replied: "Your Highness, please rest assured that the confidentiality of the test questions is being carried out in an orderly manner. In addition to the special secret room and day and night patrols mentioned before, I have also specially added multiple identity verifications to ensure that only authorized personnel can access the test questions. In addition,
, all personnel involved in the printing of test questions have signed strict confidentiality documents, and if any behavior of leaking test questions is discovered, they will be severely punished."
When Zhu Han heard this, he nodded slightly, with a flash of approval in his eyes: "Mr. Zhang has thought carefully, and I am very pleased. The confidentiality of the test questions is related to the fairness of this spring, and there must be no mistakes."
At this time, Zhu Biao interjected: "Uncle Hanwang, in addition to keeping the test questions confidential, I think we also need to strengthen the training of the invigilators to ensure that they can be fair and impartial during the invigilation process and strictly enforce the law."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "What your Highness said is absolutely true. General Wang, I will leave this matter to you. Be sure to select those officials with good conduct and experience to serve as invigilators, and conduct strict training for them before the exam, and clearly
Exam room discipline and invigilation requirements.”
General Wang stood up and answered the order: "We will obey the order and must be carefully selected and trained strictly to ensure that the invigilation work is flawless."
Zhu Han finished discussing with everyone, and the atmosphere in the venue gradually calmed down, but everyone's hearts were filled with expectations and tension for the upcoming spring.
Zhu Han looked around and once again confirmed that all the preparations were in place, then turned to Mr. Zhang and said: "Mr. Zhang, the test questions must be formulated rigorously, not only to reflect the court's desire for talents, but also to avoid making candidates feel at a loss.
"
Mr. Zhang bowed in salute and his expression became more solemn: "Your Highness, please rest assured that I will do my best to ensure that the test questions not only test true talents and learning, but are fair and equitable."
At this time, a staff member responsible for examination room security stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, all security measures in the examination room are in place. We have deployed additional manpower and strengthened patrols around the examination room to ensure that there is no safety during the examination.
Hidden danger.”
Zhu Han nodded to express his satisfaction, and then looked at Mr. Li: "Mr. Li, the work of the supervision team is very important. We must ensure that every link is transparent and fair, and no fraud is tolerated."
Mr. Li's eyes were firm and he cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, rest assured that the inspection team is ready to go and will live up to its trust and protect the justice and purity of Chunwei."
With the final confirmation of various preparations, Zhu Han was extremely nervous, but also full of determination.
In the early morning of the next day, the sun penetrated the mist and gently shone on the streets and alleys of the capital. Candidates poured into the examination room one after another, and everyone's face was full of tension and expectation. Zhu Han, dressed in court clothes, stood tall and watched the ceremony
On the stage, he stared at everything below with intense eyes.
"Dear candidates, today is the spring day of the Ming Dynasty. You are all the future of the country. I hope you can use your true talents and knowledge to live up to the favor of the court and the emperor." Zhu Han's voice was loud and solemn, echoing in the room.
Inside and outside the examination room.
The candidates bowed and saluted one after another, their eyes shining with awe for the imperial examination and longing for the future. With Zhu Han's order, the examination officially began.
In the examination room, the candidates were either thinking intently or writing furiously. There was a tense and focused atmosphere in the air. Zhu Han stood on the viewing platform, his eyes scanning every corner from time to time to ensure that everything went smoothly.
At this time, an inspection proctor hurriedly came over and reported to Zhu Han in a low voice: "Your Highness, there is a candidate in the east corner of the examination room who seems to be unwell and pale. He seems to need medical attention."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han frowned slightly and immediately ordered: "Send the medical officer to come quickly to ensure the safety of the examinee. At the same time, arrange for an attendant to accompany the examinee and take the examinee to the rest area so as not to disturb other candidates."
The inspection proctor took the order and left. Soon, a medical officer and attendant hurried over to help the unwell candidate out of the examination room. Zhu Han looked at their backs and silently prayed in his heart that the candidate would recover soon.
The examination continued and time passed quietly. Outside the examination room, the inspection team led by Mr. Li was also working nervously. They shuttled among the candidates from time to time, observing every detail in the examination room to ensure that no fraud occurred.
It was past noon, and the sun was gradually becoming brighter. Seeing that most of the candidates looked tired, Zhu Han ordered his attendants to prepare tea and snacks and bring them to the examination room for the candidates to take a break.
"Dear candidates, although the exam is important, your body is more precious. Please take a break, eat some snacks, and drink some tea to stay in your best condition." Zhu Han's voice was passed to the examination room through the attendants, and the candidates stopped one after another.
I started writing and looked towards the viewing platform with gratitude.
Quietness temporarily returned to the examination room. The candidates either lowered their heads to drink water or talked softly to relax their tense nerves. Seeing this, Zhu Han felt a little relieved.
After the break, the exam continued. As time passed, the atmosphere in the examination room became tense and focused again. Zhu Han stood on the viewing platform, staring at everything below with burning eyes, silently cheering for each candidate.
As the sun set in the west, the light in the examination room gradually dimmed. Zhu Han ordered his attendants to light the candles in the examination room to ensure that every candidate could continue to answer in a bright environment.
He stood on the viewing platform, his eyes scanning every candlelight from time to time, praying secretly in his heart, hoping that these lights can illuminate the future path of the candidates.
At this time, an inspection proctor hurriedly walked up to the viewing platform with a slightly nervous expression: "Your Highness, a candidate was found in the examination room who seemed to be suspected of cheating and was reading the cheat sheet hidden in his sleeve."
When Zhu Han heard this, his brows furrowed, but he quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "Take him away from the examination room immediately and hand it over to the inspection team. At the same time, we will strengthen inspections in the examination room to ensure that such incidents will not happen again."
The inspection proctor took the order and left. After a while, the cheating examinee was escorted out of the examination room by two guards, and Mrs. Li quickly followed, preparing to handle the matter personally. The examination room regained calm, but the atmosphere was worse than before.
More solemn.
Zhu Han looked at the examinees who were being taken away, with mixed feelings in his heart. He sighed softly, turned to the attendant beside him and said: "Send the order and ask all the inspection and invigilators to step up another round of inspections to ensure fairness and order in the examination room."
.”
The attendant took the order and quickly ran down to the auditorium to convey the order. Zhu Han continued to stand on the auditorium, looking firmly at every corner of the examination room. At this time, Mr. Li also hurriedly returned after handling the cheating incident.
Go to the viewing platform and report the situation to Zhu Han.
"Your Highness, cheating candidates have been dealt with in accordance with the rules, and their test papers have been invalidated and recorded for future verification." Mr. Li's tone was serious, and he obviously hated such behavior.
Zhu Han nodded and expressed his approval for Mr. Li's decisive handling: "Mr. Li handled it properly. This matter is related to the fairness of the imperial examination. There must be no slack in the matter."
Mr. Li cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, rest assured that the supervision team will go all out to ensure that this spring is fair and impartial."
The exam continued. As time went by, the night became darker, but the candlelight in the examination room was still bright, reflecting the focused faces of each candidate. Zhu Han noticed that although some candidates looked tired, their eyes were full of
Firm and unyielding.
At this time, a young staff member hurriedly walked up to the viewing platform, holding an emergency report in his hand, and nervously reported to Zhu Han: "Your Highness, a mountain fire suddenly broke out outside the city, and the fire spread rapidly, which may affect the safety of the examination room.
.”
When Zhu Han heard this, he frowned and immediately asked: "How is the fire? Has it spread to the vicinity of the examination room?"
The young staff member replied: "At present, the fire is not close to the examination room, but the wind direction is uncertain and there may be changes. I have ordered people to strengthen vigilance and prepare emergency measures."
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and then decisively ordered: "Notify all candidates immediately and prepare for emergency evacuation. At the same time, strengthen fire prevention measures around the examination room to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Zhu Han stood outside the examination room, looking at the blazing mountain fire in the distance, praying secretly in his heart.
"Mr. Li, we must always remain vigilant to ensure safety inside and outside the examination room." Zhu Han said to Mr. Li.
Mr. Li nodded in agreement: "What His Highness said is absolutely true. The supervision team is ready to respond to emergencies and is ready for dispatch at any time."
When Zhu Han heard this, he nodded slightly and stared at the mountain fire in the distance, but he was a little more worried about the safety of the examination room. He turned around and ordered his attendants: "Quickly inform the guards in the city and ask them to strengthen patrols.
Make sure the fire does not get close to the examination room. At the same time, prepare enough fire-extinguishing tools just in case.”
The attendant took the order and left, while Zhu Han continued to discuss countermeasures with Mr. Li. Mr. Li pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness, as a precaution, I suggest that the candidates in the examination room be evacuated in batches to nearby safe areas.
, wait until the fire is under control before returning."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "This is a good plan, but order must be maintained during the evacuation to avoid chaos. Mr. Li, I will leave this matter to you and make sure to ensure the safety of every candidate."
Mr. Li bowed to accept the order, then turned around and left, starting to organize the evacuation. Zhu Han stayed on the viewing platform and continued to monitor the situation inside and outside the examination room. At the same time, he looked at the direction of the mountain fire from time to time, silently praying in his heart that the fire could be brought under control as soon as possible.
.
Soon, the candidates in the examination room began to evacuate in an orderly manner under the organization of Mr. Li. Although they looked nervous, they gradually regained their composure under Mr. Li's comfort. Zhu Han looked at this scene and felt a little.
comfort,
With the last candidate safely evacuated, the examination room became empty. Zhu Han stood on the viewing platform, his eyes swept across the empty examination room, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
At this time, the mountain fire outside the city was still burning, but the guards had arrived at the scene and began to put out the fire with all their strength. Zhu Han looked at the busy figures in the distance and silently cheered for them in his heart.
After more than an hour of intensive fighting, the wildfire was finally under control and did not spread to the vicinity of the examination room. After Zhu Han learned the news, he breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately ordered the candidates to return to the examination room to continue the examination, and went to the entrance of the examination room in person
greet them.
The candidates returned to the examination room one after another. Although their faces still showed a bit of fatigue and nervousness, they showed more of a firm belief in continuing to complete the examination.
The exam started again, and the previous tense atmosphere returned to the examination room. Zhu Han stood on the viewing platform, watching everything below with burning eyes.
As the candidates took their seats again, the examination room was once again filled with an atmosphere of tension and concentration. Zhu Han stood on the viewing platform, scanning each candidate with deep eyes, secretly cheering for them.
At this time, Prince Zhu Biao slowly walked to Zhu Han and said softly: "Uncle Han, it is so gratifying to see that the candidates have readjusted themselves and continued to devote themselves to the exam. Your arrangements are really thoughtful, which not only ensures
It’s fair and takes into account human feelings.”
Zhu Han smiled slightly and turned to look at Zhu Biao, his eyes full of gratification and expectation: "Your Highness is too complimentary. These are the responsibilities that ministers should fulfill. The matter of spring is related to the future of the country, and there is no room for sloppiness."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, with some firmness in his tone: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true. This spring, I will witness every step with my own eyes to ensure its fairness and transparency. This is not only an explanation to my father.
, it is also an experience for myself.”
Zhu Han patted Zhu Biao's shoulder and said sincerely: "It is a blessing to the Ming Dynasty that Your Highness has such a heart. However, the affairs of the Spring Festival are complicated and complex. Your Highness still needs to take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
Zhu Biao smiled slightly, determination flashing in his eyes: "Uncle Han, don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion. But you, Uncle Han, have been working hard, so you need to pay more attention to rest."
While the two were talking, an inspection proctor hurriedly walked up to the viewing platform, holding a record book in his hand, and reported to Zhu Han solemnly: "Your Highness, during the inspection, I discovered that some candidates tried to exchange scratch paper.
Although I didn’t succeed, this trend cannot last long.”
Zhu Han frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice: "Immediately isolate the candidates involved for review, and at the same time strengthen inspections in the examination room to prevent any form of fraud."
The inspection proctor took the order and left. Zhu Han turned to Zhu Biao and said: "Your Highness, it seems that we still need to be vigilant at all times, and we must not let go of any subtleties."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true. Fairness and selflessness are the foundation of the imperial examination, and there must be no compromise."
Zhu Biao's eyes were firm and he fully agreed with Zhu Han's words: "What Uncle Han said is absolutely true. Fairness and selflessness are the foundation of the imperial examination, and there is no room for slack. We must ensure that every link is rigorous and error-free in order to avoid failure."
Disappoint the expectations of my father and all the people."
Zhu Han nodded slightly and continued to warn: "Your Highness, next we must monitor more closely inside and outside the examination room, not only to prevent cheating among candidates, but also to be alert to the impact of external factors on the fairness of the examination. I have ordered someone
Strengthen the vigilance around the examination room to ensure that any abnormal situations can be detected and dealt with in time."
While he was talking, an attendant hurriedly came over, holding a secret letter in his hand, and bowed to report: "Your Highness, Your Highness King Han, there is an urgent official document coming from the capital. Please take a look at it."
