Ying Zheng's voice sounded again: "You guys have passed the big exam, and you are all talents that the empire can create. I will personally prepare questions for today's palace exam for consideration, and you can show your talents to the fullest. If you can satisfy me, you will be entrusted with important tasks in the future !"

Although it was only two short sentences, it was enough to make the hearts of fifty candidates have infinite longing.

With excitement in his heart, he clenched his fists tightly, and now he couldn't help showing his talent.

Seeing everyone's eagerness to fight, a smile appeared in Ying Zheng's eyes, and he said, "Listen up, I'm going to come up with a question."

Hearing this, the fifty candidates all raised their spirits and listened attentively, for fear of missing a single word.

At this time, Ying Zheng said, "What is the most important way to govern the country?"

After the words fell, everyone fell into deep thought.

Objectively speaking, this question is not difficult. There are similar explanations in many classics, and they can naturally answer it with their knowledge.

But if it was really that simple, would His Majesty still ask such a question?

The examinees did not write immediately, but frowned and thought, trying to figure out the deep meaning of the question.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen also smiled slightly.

In his opinion, the question posed by Ying Zheng is really simple and difficult.

The reason why I say it simply is because the assessment is not literature, but my own concepts and thoughts.

There is no fixed answer, as long as you say what you understand in your heart, you can't make a mistake.

But it is all the more difficult to answer because there is no definite answer.

After all, Ying Zheng has the final say on the result of this imperial examination, which means that everything must be based on his will.

If your answer is not to their liking, no matter how much you quote from the classics, it will be useless.

On the contrary, as long as you say what you want to hear, even a short sentence can become the leader of this imperial examination.

Therefore, the question posed this time is essentially a test of Ying Zheng's mind.

However, these people below have basically never even met him, so it is still very difficult to get the quasi-pulse door.

Ying Zheng looked at the students below who were racking their brains to answer, but didn't say anything, leaving the rest of the time to them.

And he himself didn't have the habit of wasting a short time, he wanted to take advantage of the time to answer the questions to continue working, and then he ordered the waiter.

After a while, a guard brought over a pile of memorials, all of which he had to deal with today.

Seeing this, Ye Chen didn't continue to stand in a daze, he just found a place to sit down, and then began to meditate cross-legged.Suddenly, the whole hall became quiet.

The time for the palace examination is only one hour, so the candidates did not delay too long, and after thinking for a while, they began to write.

Under this quiet atmosphere, an hour passed quickly.

"Your Majesty, the time has come."

The waiter on the side reminded.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng stopped what he was doing, put down his pen, and looked up at the student.

He opened the mouth and said, "Have you finished the answer?"

"completed."

The candidates below replied respectfully.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, then glanced at the waiter next to him.

The latter understood instantly, and then said: "The imperial examination is over, you and other candidates can leave on their own. Come back here in two days, and His Majesty will appoint the leader of the imperial examination."

"promise!"

Hearing this, the examinees got up one after another and bowed their hands in salute.Then he turned back nervously.

After everyone left, several palace servants put away the examinees' test papers, then bowed and put them on Ying Zheng's desk with both hands.

Seeing that the palace test was over, Ye Chen was not interested in staying here any longer and wanted to leave.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing wrong, I will go back first."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute."

"What else is going on, Your Majesty?"

Ye Chen asked.

Ying Zheng said: "Since you are here, don't leave in such a hurry. Anyway, you will be idle after you go back. Why don't you help me review these candidates, after all, they are also considered to be promoted by you."

While talking, he tapped the test paper on the table in his hand.

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't refuse. He really had nothing to do these days, so he just took it as a way to help the other party share the workload.And he was also a little curious about the answers of those candidates.

Thinking of this, he responded casually, and then came to the side of the former.

Ying Zheng smiled lightly, picked up about [-] test papers and handed them to the other party for review.

Then someone moved a desk and a cushion and placed them on his left side.

Just like that, the two sat together and reviewed together...

Half an hour later, most of the examination papers had been marked, Ye Chen stood up and moved his limbs.

He carefully read the test papers of these candidates, and they were generally considered good. He couldn't find any faults, but he didn't make his eyes shine.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng asked, "How?"

Ye Chen replied: "It's quite satisfactory."

Candidates who can enter the palace examination naturally have no problem in terms of literary talent, and all kinds of citations are at their fingertips.It's just that there are not many who can hit the nail on the head.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "How about this person's answer?"

As he spoke, he handed a test paper on his desk to the other party.

Ye Chen's expression moved slightly, he knew that the above answer should have something good, otherwise Ying Zheng would not have picked it out himself.

With this in mind, he took the test paper and looked it over.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, because what was written on it was not an article, but a painting.
