When the envoys from all countries prepare to return to their country, the examination that caused a sensation in the world will begin.

However, in just over a dozen days, the inns in Yecheng were already overcrowded.

Many scholars who were talented and not far from Yecheng heard the news of the examination and went to Yecheng with their salutes.

When Xu Ling's car drove away from the city gate, he saw many scholars with small bags quickly and rushed into the city gate.

Due to the large flow of people, the city gate officials had to issue an ultimatum, and horses and other carriages could not enter the city gate during this period.

So they arrived at the city gate and had to stop, bring their salutes, and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd that flocked to Yecheng.

There are many children from aristocratic families, and they are also crowded with some civilians and poor people.

No one thinks it is dirty, smelly, or hard and tired. At this time, it is the most important thing to quickly enter Yecheng to obtain the qualification for the exam.

The registration is about to be announced to be over less than two days after the exam. Even if some scholars come to ask for a re-report, it will be useless.

Because these quotas must be reported to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel one day in advance, when the list of examiners was announced the next day, everything would be a foregone conclusion.

There are still two days left before the limit, and there are many people coming here every day.

Who would miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? If you pass the exam, it will be like reaching the sky in one step. From then on, you will no longer be a white person, and you can also go out to worship the prime minister, with a golden waist and purple clothes.

Even if the road ahead is far away, they will still come.

Xu Ling's carriage slowly walked out of the crowded crowd, looking at the young or old faces below, with frost but still energetic faces, and felt infinite emotion in his heart.

The master of Qi not only collected a group of talents, but most importantly, it made all scholars in Qi return to their hearts.

Xu Ling had no doubt that once the news spread to the Southern Dynasties, Northern Zhou, and spread throughout the world, then the Northern Qi and Yedu will become the place that scholars all over the world yearn for.

[This is what people want...] Xu Ling put down the curtain of the car and this idea came to his mind.

After all, Xu Ling's knowledge is broader. In his opinion, Master Qi did this not just because he needed poor families to check and balance the aristocratic families. The most important purpose was to show the Northern Dynasty's demeanor of embracing all rivers!

As far as the fact is concerned, although there are talents among poor families, they are far worse than those of aristocratic families.

Because the resources, education and influence obtained by children from aristocratic families since childhood are incomparable to poor families.

Regardless of vision and ability, they are generally better than those of poor families.

Even if the candidates of the same family hold the exam, it is already predictable whether the poor scholars who are admitted can be better than those of the aristocratic families.

If the Lord Qi puts the children of aristocratic families and poor families in the same class as the exam, then the children of aristocratic families will have a great chance of winning.

But Lord Qi did not do this. He distinguished the aristocratic family from the poor and the exam.

Aristocratic families must present their clans and relevant persons to obtain the examination qualification. Those who do not have the above conditions will be uniformly divided into ordinary scholars.

It is said that admission is required to be carried out according to different proportions, and all poor families have fixed quotas, so you can see what the bias of the Lord Qi is.

This seems fair to both sides, but in fact it is not fair to the aristocratic families.

The quota of poor families in aristocratic families is limited, which means that the aristocratic families can only compete with each other. The final result is that a large number of children of aristocratic families will fail, but will open the back door for the poor children.

With this show, Northern Qi will receive support from a large number of local tyrants!

Because most of these scholars came from the ranks of the landlord class, no matter which dynasty or the aristocratic families might be at the top of the pyramid, these rising common people are the backbone of a country. If they gain the support of these people, it would be equivalent to pushing the cohesion of the dynasty to a peak!

[It seems that the enemy of the Southern Dynasties is not the only one with Zhou. Qi will become a major concern for the Southern Dynasties in a few years... I originally wanted Qi to delay Zhou for a few more years, but now it seems that Qi is vaguely revived. So is the correct choice for the alliance between the Southern Dynasties and Qi?]

Xu Ling sat alone in the carriage, thinking hard for a long time, finally sighed,

[The Northern Zhou Dynasty is powerful, and the current Qi lord is also a generation of heroes. Where is the future of the Southern Dynasties? Where should... go?]

The carriage was shaking, and new buds emerged from the trees on the side of the road. A sparrow stopped on the branches and turned its head to look at the silently rushing team. With a "chubby" sound, it flew away.

In Zhaoyang Palace, Gao Wei was reviewing the memorial, and a Jinyi Captain was reporting some recent news.

Gao Wei raised his head when he heard it with interest, "Oh, how did Zhao Xiang really tell Yuan Wenyao this?"

"Jinyi asked clearly, there was no mistake..."

"What's Yuan Wenyao's reaction?"

"Mr. Yuan said nothing. It is said that he had been closed for a few days and did not see any foreign guests..."

Gao Wei paused the pen in his hand, "Does he have resentment towards me?"

The lieutenant Jinyi felt a little sweat on his forehead and said, "This is not the case, but the Minister Yuan was indeed depressed for a long time. I heard from our people that he has been thinking about his past few days..."

Gao Wei didn't know if it was possible, and he thought secretly:

[Will this continue to suppress Yuan Wenyao too harshly? It is rare to have talent... It seems that it is time to give him a chance to stand up and prove himself.]

Gao Wei thought about it and asked the Jinyi lieutenant to retreat first, summon Feng Zicong in and asked:

"Are you ready for the candidate for the examiner?"

Feng Zicong replied: "Your Majesty, I and Prime Minister Zhao have already drafted the list..."

“Show it.”

Feng Zicong presented a list of flowers. Gao Wei opened it and found that it was deleted and deleted, and it was changed. At the beginning, the examiner wrote the "pingjian" in a blue pen.

"You chose him?" Gao Wei asked, "I remember he is fifty or sixty years old? Can you keep up with your energy?"

Feng Zicong replied: "Your Majesty, I believe that the examination is of great importance. An elderly person from Dezhao must be selected as the chief examiner, so that the public can be convinced.

Gong Ping was young and smart, studied under the great scholars, and was also chivalrous. He was a veteran who started his career with Emperor Shenwu.

Moreover, Gong Ping made many achievements in his post, and local people erected monuments to praise him, which shows his talent and virtue.

Therefore, we believe that letting Gong Ping serve as the chief examiner will definitely be able to convince everyone!”

Gao Wei turned his eyes and saw the position of the adjutant. He saw that Lang Mao, the first person, was also impressed by Gao Wei, who was newly promoted to Taichang Temple.

It is said that he was a young genius like Xu Ling. He recited "Sao" and "Ya" at the age of seven. He was a very prestigious scholar at the time, but Gao Wei remembered that he seemed to be not much younger than Ping Jian...

So he smiled and said, "The main and deputy exams are all old people, and they have prestige, but after all, they are old and have so many things. Can they take care of them?"

Feng Zicong couldn't help but make a difficult decision. According to Your Majesty's words, he was not completely satisfied with this, but if he wanted to change it now, there would be no time.

So I had to bite the bullet and ask, "How to choose the examiner?"

Gao Wei thought for a while and said, "Isn't Yuan Wenyao quite idle recently? I see, it's very appropriate to let him be the deputy examiner...

Well, that's it. Pingjian is the main examination, Lang Mao and Yuan Wenyao are the deputy examination, and Yuan Wenyao is responsible for all the affairs during the examination, so that's it."

[Your Majesty is giving Deyuan a chance!]

Feng Zicong immediately understood, "I obey the order..."
