Li You left, and Zheng Qian felt calm, neither sad nor happy.

Dong Hao's words echoed in his ears once again.

"Guangxiang Kingdom is rotten to the core; all its prosperity is nothing but a mirage."

Turning to look at Dong Hao, Dong Hao shrugged, indicating that there was no need to be surprised; Guangxiang Country was like this from top to bottom, inside and out.

During the meal, Dong Hao kept talking but didn't mention Li You's matter at all, which improved everyone's mood a bit.

This is what makes Dong Hao so formidable; Li You is a thorn in the side of several people, especially Fan Tiexue.

A gentleman has things he will do and things he will not do. Dong Hao does not consider himself a gentleman, but he is not a villain either.

Zheng Qian admired Dong Hao's behavior.

As the sun sets, the last exam paper is distributed.

The sixth subject: Discussing national affairs and planning for the future.

More than 8,000 candidates received their exam papers and immediately began to wail in despair.

The exam papers were all blank, with no questions at all. How were they supposed to answer the questions?

To put it simply, the title is the seven large characters at the very beginning of the exam paper.

Discussing the world and planning for the future.

This question also gave Mo Yuan and Wen Xianren a headache. The national conditions of each of the fifty countries are different. No matter which aspect you focus on, it cannot be consistent with the national conditions of all countries. Therefore, there is no standard for the points to be awarded for the answer.

When the three hundred scholars were preparing this exam, there was a huge uproar. They pointed out all sorts of problems with the past Heroes' Gathering exam questions, which gave Mo Yuan a real headache.

Ultimately, the evaluation team, represented by Mo Yuan, decided not to provide any questions and to let the candidates write whatever came to mind.

Since different countries have different national conditions, the answers cannot be unified. So, give blank papers and let the candidates construct their own outlines and express themselves freely.

The scoring criteria should include three elements: the people, the government, and the future. If all three elements are present, the minimum score is 50 points, and the remaining points will be awarded at the examiner's discretion.

These three hundred scholars were all literary giants with genuine talent and learning, and they could naturally distinguish between good and bad articles.

When Fan Tiexue received the exam paper, the image of Li You bullying people and acting indiscriminately flashed through his mind. Recalling the suffering he had witnessed among the people over the years, he immediately began to write.

"People seek development and stability, and the government and the people work together to promote harmony."

Mo Li closed his eyes and pondered. The uneven development of Guangxiang Country left its people homeless and displaced. The rich had endless wealth, while the poor had to drink wild vegetable soup for every meal. He immediately put pen to paper.

Governance and Balanced Development Strategy.

Looking at the exam paper, Dong Hao revealed a confident smile. He was about to take over the Crescent Moon Kingdom, and he already had grand ambitions in his heart.

Cross-border alliances and diplomatic strategies: building a diverse and symbiotic international order.

The three people wrote on completely different topics, which also reveals their different levels of understanding of national governance.

Zheng Qian frowned in thought. The scope of this subject was very broad, and he had many classic works he could write about.

However, Zheng Qian insisted on writing it himself.

From a镖头 (bodyguard) to a厢使 (envoy), then to a 统帅 (commander) and 元帅 (marshal), and finally leaving 武岩国 (Wuyan Kingdom) to attend the 群英会 (Heroes' Gathering) in 广象国 (Guangxiang Kingdom), he witnessed too many changes in personnel and accidents along the way.

Yalan lives in the far north. She is not human, yet she possesses world-destroying abilities. If she were to take action, no one in the fifty kingdoms could stop her, and annihilating those fifty kingdoms would be a piece of cake.

King Xuanlin is a great demon of the snake clan. He leads an endless array of demonic beasts to attack cities and has a history of destroying human kingdoms. If it weren't for Dean Yun's intervention, Guangxiang Kingdom would probably have been devastated long ago.

The fifty kingdoms are only a small force in the Southern Region, which is considered a force within the human race's sphere of influence.

Beyond the human race, there is the Myriad Demon Mountain, filled with endless legends, and the far north where Ya Lan resides. Although Zheng Qian does not know where Ya Lan's far north is, it must be an extremely powerful force.

In this world, the weak can only survive in the cracks, while the strong can do whatever they want.

Yalan casually annihilated 100,000 guards without any qualms.

Dean Yun killed the Xuanlin King and made him into a delicious snake soup, so he wasn't afraid of trouble from the demon ancestors and demon saints in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

Dean Yun and Ya Lan are both highly powerful figures who surpass the fifty nations.

Above the fifty kingdoms are the Demon Radiance Sect and the Heavenly Vein Sect, whose strengths are complex and intertwined.

Where lies the path to strength for fifty nations?

Humans and demons are on different paths, good and evil coexist, and sooner or later a great conflict will break out.

Fifty nations were annihilated before they could even make a ripple in the great war.

After thinking for twenty minutes, Zheng Qian began to answer the questions.

"New Century, New Unit"—this is Zheng Qian's core idea: to usher in a new century and a new unit.

I. A Changing World and a Changing Era

Heaven and earth possess spirits, and eras cycle...

II. Rebuilding of the Spiritual Veins and Redistribution of Resources

III. Political Reforms and the Emergence of Powerful Figures

IV. Following the will of the people, building a harmonious society together

V. The Endless Road, the Sea of ​​Stars

Zheng Qian began writing about heaven and earth, then wrote about reincarnation, resources, politics, education, the common people, development, and so on. His thoughts flowed freely, and once he picked up his pen, he couldn't stop.

As he wrote the new unit, Zheng Qian continued to express his management skills.

Villages are based on households, towns on villages, cities on towns, prefectures on cities... and the world is based on mountains, rivers, seas, stars, and the sky.

Zheng Qian wrote with divine inspiration, forgetting the examination hall and the time; his eyes and heart were filled with plans and directions for discussing the world and planning for the future.

In the eastern part of the palace, in the center of the examination hall, fish swam happily in the pond. Crown Prince Lu Yan sat in the pavilion, quietly waiting for the written examination to end.

Li You lay prostrate on the ground, cold sweat dripping from his forehead onto the ground.

From the moment he wrongly accused Zheng Qian to the moment the Crown Prince summoned him, only three minutes had passed.

He had been kneeling for four hours. His legs were so numb that he had almost completely lost all feeling in them, and he was also experiencing sharp pains in his neck, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yan spoke calmly, baited the fishhook, and then cast it into the pond.

Li You's mind raced. The Crown Prince only asked one question every four hours, so he had to answer this question carefully. Otherwise, given the Crown Prince's personality, he would be lucky to kneel until he died.

Li You had thought about this problem many times before. He had only offended two people: Zheng Qian and Teacher Mo Li.

Li You carefully considered his words and said, "Your Highness, I was blind and did not recognize Teacher Mo Li and student Zheng Qian. I failed to maintain order in the examination hall, and I deserve to die."

Just then, a fish took the bait. Lu Yan lifted the rod, and with a whoosh, the eight-pound golden dragon fish flew up. The guard next to him hurriedly caught the fish, removed the hook, and held it to Lu Yan with both hands.

Lu Yan put down his fishing rod, stood up, and said slowly, "This fish has grown three eyes and an extra leg. It's too ugly."

Li You secretly raised his head. The golden dragonfish was golden all over, with beautiful lines. It was a rare treasure among treasures. Where did the extra eye and foot come from?

Is this implying that I'm spying on Mo Li, having too many eyes, indulging in fantasies, or being a lecherous person?

Oh my god, the prince is going to gouge out my eyes and cut off my third leg!

Kowtowing repeatedly, Li You pleaded, "Your Highness, spare my life! Your Highness, spare my life!"

Lu Yan sneered. Li You was such a minor character that he had no chance to speak to him.

However, since Li You caused trouble in the examination hall, he was allowed to bend down and speak to Li You.

Because he wanted to use Li You as a target to set up a trap to kill Zheng Qian.

There was nothing he could do. Zheng Qian hid in the library like a rat, preventing his assassins from getting close. He didn't have the guts to kill openly.

The dean's wrath was unbearable for any of the fifty nations.

Lu Yan slapped the fish away, sending it flying in front of Li You, already dead.

He was very dissatisfied with Li You's answer and said coldly, "This fish is not that fish, understand?"

Li You suddenly realized that when the Crown Prince said the fish had many eyes and legs, he wasn't referring to him, but to Zheng Qian.

Prostrate himself on the ground and quickly said, "Your Highness, Zheng Qian caused trouble in the examination hall. When I tried to stop him, he bullied me because of his status. He also committed many violations during the examination, all of which I witnessed with my own eyes."

Lu Yan nodded in satisfaction and left the pavilion, heading towards the examination hall.
