Another half month of the Three Kingdoms time passed, and a grand event ushered in Chang'an City.
Countless talented students from all over the country poured into Chang'an City, whether they were children from poor families or officials, they all rushed to Chang'an City.
Not for anything else, just because Prime Minister Jiang announced half a month ago that the imperial examination would be held in Chang'an City!
Anyone who passes the exam can directly serve as an official.
This has an unprecedented impact on the people of the Three Kingdoms, who have always promoted filial piety and integrity to become officials!
There are too many tricks in promoting filial piety and integrity. Officials protect each other, and many truly talented people can only be buried.
But the exam is different. The Prime Minister said that anyone who passes the exam can become an official!
And the top three in the exam are divided into number one, number two, and top pick.
The top three will not only be rewarded with a large amount of wealth, they will also be able to meet the emperor and the prime minister, and obtain extremely high official positions!
This announcement simply made the hearts of talented people all over the world beat with excitement.
During the Han Dynasty, who had ever seen the imperial examination?
It's like someone who has never played PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and doesn't know the function of a sight and only knows how to aim, but one day he discovers a sight and completely opens up a new world.
As soon as the imperial examination came out, people from almost all states in the world were recruited, and talented people hurriedly packed up and traveled to Chang'an.
Originally, the other princes should have stopped it, but because they were all at war and had no time to take care of it, a large number of talents in their states were lost.
Later, it was too late to react.
The day before the exam started, Chang'an City was overcrowded, all the restaurants and guest rooms were full, and many people even made bunks on the street because they had no place to sleep.
When Jiang Siming found out, he immediately asked the soldiers to build many tents in the open space in the city and allowed them to live for free until the end of the imperial examination.
And free breakfast and dinner are given out every day.
Such a small gesture won countless hearts.
Especially students from poor families who had no money wrote poems one after another to thank Jiang Siming for his actions.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely get the honors! When I get back, I will tell you about the prosperity of Chang'an City and the reputation of the Prime Minister. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely take you to Chang'an City to enjoy your old age!"
In a tent, a frail scholar was still reading with the lamp on, swearing secretly in his heart.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent.
"Master Guo of the Imperial Academy is offering wine, and Master Xun of the Hanlin Academy is here!"
Hearing this sound, everyone in the tent hurried out and saw two young men in official uniforms walking over.
The young man who was still reading with the lamp on had a premonition, so he temporarily put down the bamboo slips and walked out as well.
As soon as he went out, Guo Jia and Xun Yu were overjoyed.
"Yuan Zhi! You are finally willing to come to Chang'an!"
Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi.
He is also a classmate and friend of Guo Jia and Xun Yu.
When Xun Yu and Jiang Siming recommended talents, they also mentioned Xu Shu.
But Xu Shu refused to travel far because his mother was ill, so he had to give up in the end.
"Fengxiao, Wenruo, long time no see." Xu Shu also greeted happily.
Guo Jia grabbed Xu Shu's hand and said, "You're here, the Prime Minister has been thinking about you all the time. Why are you taking the exam now that you're here? I'll take you to see the Prime Minister!"
This good thing of being able to serve as an official under Jiang Siming without taking an exam would probably make anyone faint with joy.
But Xu Shu refused.
"No, I think back then, I, Xu Shu, felt guilty enough for betraying the prime minister's kindness. Now that the imperial examination has begun, I want to get an official position for nothing. No matter how thick-skinned I, Xu Yuanzhi, am, I can't do it."
After Xu Shu finished speaking, he said seriously: "I want to rely on examinations to become an official, and I will never take shortcuts."
Guo Jia wanted to persuade him again, but Xun Yu interrupted with a smile: "Forget Feng Xiao, don't you and I still know Yuan Zhi's personality? Even eight big horses can't pull him back from what he believes in."
Hearing this, Guo Jia nodded and sighed: "Then let Yuan Zhi take the exam. Anyway, with Yuan Zhi's talent, he will definitely be in the top three in the future palace exam."
Xu Shu shook his head modestly and said: "There are so many talented people in the world, and I, Xu Shu, am just the most insignificant one among them. If I can pass the exam, Xu Shu is already very lucky."
Guo Jia and Xun Yu looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads, Xu Shu is still the same Xu Shu~
Not to mention, Xu Shu was right. In addition to Xu Shu, there were many people with outstanding talents who came to Chang'an to take the exam.
The next day, the imperial examination officially began, and the first session was the provincial examination.
There are three examinations in total, the provincial examination, the general examination and the palace examination.
The rural examination should have been held in various towns and counties, but due to the emergency, Jiang Siming was held in Chang'an.
The provincial examination is equivalent to an audition, and the questions are not difficult.
On the first day of the exam, a total of 40,000 people took part.
The main reason is that there was not enough time to promote the event, so many people were unable to attend.
But there will definitely be more and more people taking the exam in the future.
40,000 people took the exam.
And there are tens of thousands of people who have passed the assessment.
Many people who pretended to be fake were dismissed.
After the exam on the first day, I rested for two days, and then came the final exam.
The difficulty of the general examination is much more difficult than that of the provincial examination. With 20,000 people, 90% of the score can be achieved in an instant!
Less than 2,000 people were successfully shortlisted.
These two thousand people began the third and final palace examination.
The last exam was very important and attracted the attention of countless people.
The location is in the Imperial College, and more than 2,000 seats are filled up in the open space.
Each seat is far apart from each other, and there are invigilators watching every few meters. Anyone who wants to cheat and copy others is just dreaming.
And if you are caught cheating, you will go to jail for three years, and you will not be able to take another exam for life.
Who dares to cheat with such cruel punishment?
At 8 o'clock in the morning, more than 2,000 candidates were all seated, waiting for the official examination to start at 9 o'clock.
There was still half an hour before the exam, when a cry of "The Prime Minister is here!" made all the candidates excited. Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister was here for the exam this time.
Jiang Siming's figure appeared at the examination site. Everyone looked at the Prime Minister and exclaimed that the Prime Minister was too young.
Also, there are very few people who can meet Jiang Siming. There is no Internet or newspapers in this world, so few people know what Jiang Siming looks like.
From the mouths of those literati who were lucky enough to meet him, I heard them praise Jiang Siming's appearance in various ways.
They talk about Sai Ruopan'an, banished immortals, reincarnation, etc., they are all there.
When we met today, we all realized that what those people said was indeed correct!
As soon as Jiang Siming arrived, Xun Yu immediately gave up his position as examiner.
Jiang Siming sat down unceremoniously, smiling and talking to the more than two thousand candidates below.
"You are all the best from thousands of opponents. I hope that in this last exam, you will be able to pass the test, get good results, serve the court, and benefit the world."
"Finally, I really hope that all students can do it. The roc will rise with the wind in one day and soar to 90,000 miles!"
Jiang Siming's last poem made all the candidates feel excited and excited!
