The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"Wang Kang is right!"

Lin Xiangru said in a cold voice: "Such a character, still a Hanlin scholar? Almost missed a major event, and immediately imprisoned him. After the imperial examination, I will report to His Majesty!"

"There is also that Zhuo Qianhe, he is still grounded in Yushu Pavilion, and he will be investigated and dealt with as well!"

Others may not be qualified to decide, but Lin Xiangru, as the left prime minister, has this right!

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Wu Zhirong, Minister of the Ministry of War, hurried in.

"I said, what are you doing? Candidates are already seated, and the exam questions are still not distributed?"

Ji Ning hurriedly said: "Yes, the time is up, send out the test questions quickly, don't get the wrong ones,"

Soon, the people who had been arranged in advance all went out with the test questions in hand to distribute them.

"Let's report this matter to His Majesty, and let the imperial examination go smoothly now,"

Lin Xiangru said: "We are still responsible for invigilating the exam!"

"Yes,"

"Hey," Tang Bu glanced at Bai Bo, shook his head and walked out, followed by others,

In the end, Bai Bo was temporarily locked up here, leaving a few soldiers to guard him, and Shangguan Yan, who was not responsible for invigilating the examination,

How many times did I talk and run...

Wang Kang also ignored this matter, because there is still a big challenge waiting for him.

Qiao Xin leaked the exam questions last night, what does this mean, needless to say,

But he didn't say it, because that would cause confusion,

You can only investigate secretly by yourself to avoid the occurrence of fraudulent incidents.

But when they went out, no one noticed that Shen Yuanchong quietly gestured to an invigilator...

The original plan was to prepare for the exam, but what he arranged for people to do was also to prepare for the exam.

But now that this plan has been ruined, it is necessary to quickly find out the answer to the question, and the time is very tight...

"Wang Kang, how did you find out that Bai Bo has a problem?"

On the way to the examination room, Yan Liqun asked curiously: "Who would have thought of him coming here under our noses?"

"Yeah, I never thought that Baibo would be this kind of person,"

"I want to know,"

Wang Kang smiled and said, "Secret!"

"You little slick!"

Lin Xiangru said again in a deep voice: "We must be cautious in the next scientific examination. I think you should have heard of what happened three years ago."

"If that kind of thing happens again, how should we explain to His Majesty?"

"What do you confess?"

Wang Kang smiled and said, "I am the chief officer!"

"You're still addicted,"

A few people chatted and laughed, went to the examination room,

At this moment, the examinees are already in place, and the exam questions have already started to be distributed. Each of them has also specially checked that the questions are correct and there is no problem!

The Tribute Courtyard is specially built for scientific research and covers a large area. There are more than 9000 test sheds in total, which can accommodate nearly [-] people to take the test at the same time.

According to statistics, there are 520 candidates in total.

This number looks a lot,

But actually there are not many, because they are selected from all over the country.

What is even more terrifying is the number of admissions. In previous years, it was more than 400, but less than [-]!

From this we can see how much competition there is,

The test shed is not big, there are only desks, pens and inks, a simple bed, and toilets inside.

Because the imperial examination at this time is a comprehensive examination of all subjects, during the period of the scientific examination, you are not allowed to go out, you can only stay in the examination shed!

Candidates have to lock the door after entering the test room, which is called the court lock test.

Candidates each have a test booth, a pot of charcoal fire, and a candle. After the test questions are sent out, Mingyuan upstairs, the sound of drums sounds, and the scientific test officially begins!

There are four invigilators in each examination area, usually there are only two, but Wang Kang specially arranged for four,

There are more people transferred in this way, and because of this, many people are dissatisfied.

In the examination area, there are also soldiers patrolling, one is for supervision, and the other is for fear of fire in the examination shed, or some candidates are unable to calm down and pass out!

Such things are not uncommon,

The scientific examination competition is not only about the knowledge learned, it is also a big test for the physical and psychological quality of the candidates!

Of course, Wang Kang doesn't need a fixed location to invigilate the examination. He is the chief officer and also an inspector.

More importantly, he wants to find out the fraud,

Under such strict supervision, he really couldn't think of how fraudulent incidents could still occur...

[Author's Digression]: The first update,

Chapter 5 I made all the candidates cry

There have been fraudulent incidents in imperial examinations, and there are various methods. There are four types that are more commonly used.

One is bribery, that is, bribing the examiner to get good grades,

The second is entrainment, which is a cheat sheet, carrying scriptures or transcripts related to the exam, cheating inside,

The third is to test on behalf of others. In ancient times, there were no photos, and there were only some related descriptions on the documents, such as vague words such as white face and body.

As long as you have the courage to open up the joints, it is still possible,

The fourth is to change the test papers. This method is somewhat similar to substitute exams. Before the rankings are released, the top exam papers are taken out, and the name, ancestral home and other information are cut off and replaced...
