The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Here, Liang Chongyue was calculating the time to write the new policy, while Minglang was sitting outside the Imperial Examination Hall, watching every candidate who came for inspection.

Every year, candidates bring cheat sheets and other cheating tools into the exam in the hope of getting away with it. Once discovered, they will be immediately disqualified from the exam and will not be allowed to take the exam again for ten years.

"This is a new hand warmer. Replace the one you have that's cold."

Li Yu'an was standing next to Minglang. The Ministry of Rites was in charge of the Spring Examination affairs all year round, so checking cheat sheets wouldn't be a big problem.

If these people couldn't find out, Minglang, watching from such a distance, would definitely not be able to see any problems.

Where there is a policy from the top, there will be a countermeasure from the bottom.

Passing the imperial examination was a great honor for the family. Even if one was banned from taking the exam for ten years, there were still people who would take such a risk and exploit every loophole they could just to bring cheat sheets into the examination room.

Minglang handed the still warm hand warmer in his hand to his father, but his eyes never left the candidates queuing for examination.

The inspection is divided into three steps. Each candidate will be checked three times. The last time, the candidate must go into the cubicle and take off his clothes to prevent these candidates from typing cheat sheets inside their clothes.

This was the first time that Minglang had done things completely independently without the help of her mother. Her mother had handled all the worries in the early stage for her. She knew her mother's intentions. After the Spring Examination, it would be less than a month before her coming of age.

She is walking on the smooth road paved by her mother and will never let her mother down.

Outside the Imperial Examination Hall, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. Li Yu'an looked at Minglang's serious expression, held back the words of comfort that were on his lips, sat beside Minglang, and accompanied her in examining the candidates who were about to enter the Imperial Examination Hall.

"Why are you carrying all this rice and corn kernels? Five years ago, the Imperial Examination Hall provided three meals a day for every candidate. These things won't be used anymore."

As he spoke, the inspecting official began to reach into his pocket and took out two handfuls of rice and corn kernels from the candidate.

Faced with the vigilant and suspicious eyes of the inspecting officials, the candidates were so nervous that they couldn't even speak.

"It's a habit I've developed since childhood. When I'm too nervous, I can't help but eat some rice and corn. I didn't know I couldn't bring this. I really didn't know."

"You don't know? Where are you from? Last year, a government decree was issued to all states and counties. Don't you know about this?"

The candidate who was questioned turned pale with fear, and the candidates waiting in line behind him for inspection couldn't help but become nervous when they saw this scene.

"I'm from Tai'an County, Cangzhou. Perhaps I didn't pay attention to the county's announcement. Your Excellency, please be kind and let me in. I really didn't know about this and brought these things in by mistake."

There was some noise at the first checkpoint. Minglang looked over and saw from afar a handful of rice and a basin of corn kernels among the pile of things that were searched out on the table at the checkpoint.

"How could someone bring this thing into the Imperial Examination Hall? The Queen Mother, out of concern for the examinees, has already prepared a kitchen in the Imperial Examination Hall. The Imperial Examination Hall provides all three meals a day. Doesn't this person know?"

Minglang frowned slightly and looked towards the first checkpoint. Li Yuan also heard the noise.

His eyesight was not as good as that of a martial artist like Minglang, and he could only see the general objects there.

"Your Majesty has clearly stipulated that anything unrelated to the imperial examination cannot be brought in, and those who make mistakes will be punished. This decree was not issued just this year.

The imperial examination selects talented individuals for the benefit of the people of the world. He is not even aware of the decree issued five years ago. With the Spring Examination approaching, he does not even pay attention to the county announcement. Even if he passes, he is still careless.

I can only stay in the officialdom for a few years, and I would be lucky if I could retire with the fifth rank before I die.

Li Yu'an didn't say the latter part. If His Majesty was here at this moment, he would just glance over there and would not waste time on such a trivial matter.

"Yes, people should always be responsible for their own actions."

Minglang withdrew his gaze. All the decrees issued by the Queen Mother regarding the Spring Examination were a bit too harsh, but the Queen Mother had her own reasons for doing things.

If the people want to change their destiny through the imperial examination, they should learn to obey government orders.

The farce at the first checkpoint was quickly quelled. The unwilling candidate wanted to say something more, but was carried away by the officers and soldiers on duty.

Seeing this, the candidates queuing behind all grabbed their belongings, fearing that they would accidentally bring something they shouldn't have with them, which would be discovered and they would be disqualified from participating in this year's Spring Examination.

Liang Chongyue also saw this scene on the system panel. Minglang was not here today, so she had to review all the memorials by herself. This saved her the effort of checking, but she could not escape reading memorials full of nonsense.

Whenever Liang Chongyue opened a book and found some nonsense, he would just glance at it and put it aside.

Keep an eye on the names of officials who specialize in writing nonsense. If they write too much, she will save a penalty.

"Host, that kid was crying so miserably. It felt like the entire entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall could hear him crying. He looked so pitiful."

When the system saw the host reviewing memorials, it considerately turned down the volume to prevent the host from getting annoyed by listening too much and taking his anger out on him.

"So you think we should give him another chance for something as trivial as this? Let him take the scientific expedition?"

Liang Chongyue kept marking with his pen without even raising his head.

"Not really. He has some issues himself. He didn't even pay attention to the announcement. I feel like even if he takes the exam, he'll have a hard time passing."

Liang Chongyue did not refute this statement.

"Before he passed the exam, he kept saying what he would do for the country and the people. But after he passed, his true colors were revealed. He didn't even take my decrees seriously. How could I expect him to be good to my people after he passed?"

The imperial examination has been screening since the first step. This kid is just unlucky. If he really passes the exam with his brains and luck, it will be a disaster for the people no matter where he is.

The system was persuaded by the host, and silently shut up and continued to watch the picture on the panel.

The inspection outside the Imperial Examination Hall continued. As the number of memorials submitted to Liang Chongyue's case decreased, the inspection gradually came to an end.

"Ah! There's a snake!"

When Liang Chongyue was about to write, a woman's scream suddenly came from the panel. Liang Chongyue paused and wrote heavily on the memorial.

Liang Chongyue finished writing the word "read" on the memorial before looking up at the panel.

This year's Spring Examination has been so turbulent since the inspection began. It seems that someone is deliberately doing this.

The image on the panel was blurred. Liang Chongyue took a quick glance around and saw that the image was broadcasting the compartment where the women were being examined outside the Imperial Examination Hall.
