Chapter 740: Shocked everyone (1)


    Chapter 740 Shocked Four (1)


    Time flies by, and soon its the day of the pcepetition.


    The pce started at three o''clock in the morning. People who participated in the public trial the day before yesterday were waiting at the pce gate early today. Many people who had no chance to participate in the public trial tried their best to enter the pce, but were stopped by the guards at the pce gate. They could only watch with envy and jealousy as those students entered the pce in groups.


    Mo Yan also arrived early. Compared to thest time, she was no longer so nervous this time. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Xiao Ruiyuan standing at the edge of the pce gate.


    Xiao Ruiyuan left Chu Heng and came alone, earlier than thest time. He had been paying attention to the passing carriages and spotted Mo Yan immediately.


    Across the long queue, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Mo Yan was let in directly by the guards at the pce gate. Xiao Ruiyuan followed closely behind, talking to her at a distance of not far and not too close. This was okay. Didn''t attract too much attention from others.


    The pcepetition was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The examination questions were formted by the academicians of the current dynasty and more than a dozen Hanlin officials from the Hanlin Academy based on the difficulty and scope of the test in Qiu Wei.


    However, it is naturally impossible to take the seven-day exam like Qiu Wei, because that would waste too much time. These test questions have been streamlined andbined into one volume, and all must be answered within three hours.


    As a result, even if the difficulty is almost the same as that of Qiu Wei, the time is much tighter. It is not easy to answer all the questions in three hours, not to mention how well the exam goes.


    Especially, there is still a policy question in the test paper. Although the word count has been reduced from 8,000 words to 1,000 words, everyone knows that the more concise the article, the more difficult it is to write it brilliantly. Generally speaking, it is much more difficult to achieve good results in this pcepetition than in Qiu Wei.


    In order to more intuitively verify Mo Qingze''s true strength, a total of ten examination questions were issued. In addition to Mo Qingze and the three witnesses, six students were selected from the top twenty students who obtained the title of Juren in this autumn. They participated in the pcepetition together.


    The vast majority of students study hard in the cold window, and their ultimate goal is just to gain fame and fortune through reading. For this kind of thing to show their face in front of the king of a country, the six people are naturally very happy. Even if they can''t catch the eye of Emperor Hui''an, being favored by other nobles present can save them ten or twenty years of struggle.


    However, when the results of the pcepetition came out, it was found that among these six people, there were indeed some who were very capable. They did not take on the top twenty names, but they werepletely reduced to Mo Qingze''s foil.


    When Emperor Hui''an arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, after everyone had finished saluting, ten sets of tables and chairs were carried into the hall, and pens, inks, paper and inkstones were put on them. After the student representatives present checked that there were no abnormalities, Mo Qingze and the other four were escorted by the guards. They brought it up and sat in their respective seats together with the other six people who were participating.


    Mo Qingze had changed out of his previously burned clothes and was now wearing a blue cotton robe, which made his handsome face look even more elegant and calm, as if he was already winning.


    On the other hand, the three witnesses were uneasy and their brows had not rxed since they entered the temple.


    Answering questions in the public eye, you dont have to worry about anyone cheating or cheating, the test is about everyones true strength. However, with so many people present, it would be difficult for those taking the exam to calm down and answer the questions if their psychological quality is poor. This can be regarded as a kind of test!


    Seeing that the time was almost up, Emperor Hui''an nodded to Eunuch Liang, indicating that he could start.


    Eunuch Liang made his decision and shouted loudly to the people in the pce, "The fifth quarter of the hour has arrived, and the pce ceremony has begun"


    As soon as he finished speaking, the little **** beside him inserted the newly lit incense into the incense burner. This kind of incense is specially used for timing, and the lit stick can burn for exactly three hours.
