I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Then he personally led people to inspect the Imperial Examination Hall and quickly completed the preparations.

When the cunning officials in Jingzhao Yin's office saw how capable Fan Jian was, they all gave up their attempts to deceive him.

In a blink of an eye, the time for the scientific expedition has finally arrived.

In Kyoto, it can be said that demons are running wild.

There were people who claimed to be relatives of the Minister of Rites and could get the test questions.

Some say they have connections and can guarantee that you will pass the exam.

There are also those who promote cheating methods.

These vendors shuttled back and forth in the restaurants where the scholars stayed, just trying to cheat them out of some money.

Since Lu Weibin had no money, he would certainly not be harassed.

His family was poor, and he was able to pass the imperial examination with the help of the county.

So he stayed overnight at Foguang Temple.

Foguang Temple is very popular, and wealthy families in Kyoto are willing to come here to burn incense.

So the monks in Foguang Temple all have big bellies.

But as a Buddhist temple after all, Foguang Temple also provides free food and accommodation to scholars coming to Beijing.

This can also be considered a long-term investment. If a scholar becomes successful, the money from incense donations to Foguang Temple will be indispensable in the future.

Of course, it is human nature to despise the poor and love the rich.

A poor scholar like Lu Weibin would certainly not be given a good room.

The rubble on the roof was broken, and Lv Wenbo lay on the bed with his eyes closed, thinking.

"Who is it?" Lu Weibin opened his eyes and looked towards the roof.

"Hey?"

I heard a female voice and then a beautiful barefoot woman appeared outside the window.

"Scholar, you actually know martial arts?" the woman asked.

"No." Lu Weibin shook his head.

The woman asked in confusion: "You don't know martial arts, how did you find me?"

This woman is none other than the evil cult witch Gu Qianqian.

Ever since she last saw Li Tian’s Yang-Destroying Finger, Gu Qianqian had gained some insights and finally broke through to the ninth level as a master.

With her skills, even top masters would find it difficult to detect her.

This scholar who didn't know how to fight actually noticed her whereabouts.

How is this going?

Gu Qianqian was a little curious and asked.

Lu Weibin said calmly: "As long as you understand the principles of everything in the world, you will understand everything."

"Although I don't know martial arts, I understand the ways of the world. I have read a few martial arts books and I understand."

Gu Qianqian’s first thought was that this scholar was really good at bragging!

What is this word?

According to him, those scholars must all be martial arts masters.

This kid is too arrogant!

Gu Qianqian said: "A scholar is bragging?"

Lu Weibin said: "Whether you believe it or not, it is like this."

Gu Qianqian suddenly became interested and said with a chuckle, "Scholar, take my move!"

This was a move that Gu Qianqian created, inspired by Li Tian's Yang-Destroying Finger.

Small Yang-extinguishing finger.

This has surpassed all the skills of the Demon Cult and has become Gu Qianqian's unique skill.

Lu Weibin did not dodge at all, but stretched out a finger and a beam of light shot out from his fingertips.

Two beams of light collided with each other.

Gu Qianqian looked at Lu Weibin warily: "Scholar, do you want to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger?"

Lu Weibin shook his head: "I really don't know how to fight."

"If you don't know martial arts, how can you learn my Little Yang-Extinguishing Finger?"

Lu Weibin said: "I said, everything in the world has its own operating principle."

"The same goes for martial arts."

“As long as you understand the principle, you can learn it.”

Gu Qianqian thought about it carefully and found that Lu Weibin's moves just now were exactly the same as hers.

how so!

How can there be such knowledge in this world!

This scholar is so scary!

"What is your knowledge called?"

Lu Weibin said proudly: "To study things, to gain knowledge!"

“To study things is to comprehend the principles of all things in the world! Study one thing today, study another thing tomorrow. As long as you keep accumulating, you will be on the road to becoming a sage!”

“After learning the science of things, and thinking about the connection between principles, you can quickly grasp new things.”

Gu Qianqian couldn't understand it, but she knew that this scholar really didn't have a trace of true energy.

The true energy he used just now was a simulation of Gu Qianqian's.

so horrible!

If this scholar practices martial arts, he will instantly become a top-notch master!

How can there be such people in this world!

Never mind, he’s not an enemy anyway, so just run away.

Gu Qianqian used her Qinggong skills to quickly leave Foguang Temple.

Lu Weibin calmly returned to the bedroom and continued to read the book.

The day of the Spring Examination.

The Jingzhao Yin sent out all the yamen runners and clerks to maintain public order around the Imperial Examination Hall.

The clerk in charge of inspection from the Ministry of Rites stood at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall.

They were responsible for searching the scholars to ensure that they did not bring any cheating materials.

Every scholar who took part in the imperial examination had already passed the provincial examination.

But in the Imperial Examination Hall, they were just ordinary candidates.

The Minister of Rites Jiang De was the chief examiner of this imperial examination.

Jiang De is not responsible for the subsequent marking of the papers.

The president of the Hanlin Academy, the Minister of Rites, and the chief academic officer of the Imperial College are all reviewers.

They are responsible for the final evaluation of the test papers, deciding which ones can enter the palace examination, and reporting them to the emperor for review.

The examiners included the head of the Ministry of Rites and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy, a total of eighteen people.

They are mainly responsible for correcting the "Tie Jing" and then ranking the candidates' "Policy Essays".

Only those who have passed the "sticking scripture" test and whose policy essays are of grade B or above can submit them to the reviewer.

The imperial examination was a grand ceremony for selecting talents in the imperial court, and everyone in the court was keeping an eye on this exam.

Li Tian also stood in the palace, looking towards the direction of the Imperial Examination Hall.

I don’t know how many useful “talents” can be selected for me through this imperial examination!

With the sound of a crisp gong, the imperial examination officially began!

Lu Weibin walked into the examination room confidently.

Liu Wenzhuo also entered the examination room surrounded by his fellow villagers.

The inspection in the examination room was very strict, and Kyoto was still very cold in March.

But every candidate has to take off all clothes and be carefully checked before entering.

The line was very long and the pace was very slow, but Lu Weibin was not in a hurry. He waited in line leisurely and walked into the examination room.

Sitting calmly in the cubicle, Lu Weibin began to look at the test questions.

The first step is to "stick the scriptures".

During the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial examination covered all the more famous passages from the Four Books and Five Classics.

Therefore, the test questions on sutra pasting are becoming more and more biased.

The sentences that came out were relatively obscure.

This is a great test of the candidates' memory.

Normally, if you can answer five out of ten questions correctly, you will be considered to have passed.

Only those who pass the test can enter the next round.

However, even if it is ten versus five, it is still quite difficult.

Many old scholars were eliminated at the stage of pasting scriptures.

However, for academic masters like Lu Weibin and Liu Wenzhuo, pasting scriptures is not difficult.

Lu Weibin finished answering the questions on the scripture very quickly.

He began to look through the policy essay test questions.

"A review of the incompetent rulers of all dynasties?"

What kind of weird topic is this?

Isn't it a policy essay test?

Why do we start counting incompetent rulers?

There must be something wrong with the person who set this test question!

Lu Weibin was also confused by this test question.

But he was also quick-witted and quickly found an idea.

Do you really want to write it like this?
