  Chapter 23 Registration

  The capital of the Tianxuan Empire has been particularly lively these days.

   Not only the resumption of the imperial examination every three years in this dynasty, but also recently in the tomb of King Nianhua in the Qionghua Mountains in Nanzhou, the young people of this dynasty made the always domineering Yuan Jianzong fall into a big fall.

  Mo frivolously came to the capital city, and found that the people here were filled with joyful smiles.

  Even the guards at the city gate were not particularly cautious in their investigations of the outsiders.

  Actually, this is also understandable. The Tianxuan royal family is declining day by day, and its edicts do not go out of Zhongzhou, and its orders are not passed on to the border. Under the occupation of the four major sects, talents are withering.

  The demand for foreign talents is almost to the point of hunger and thirst.

  As long as they claim to be young people who have come to take the imperial examination, they will be treated with courtesy by the officers and soldiers and will not be troubled by interrogation.

  There is a female emperor in Kyoto, and I believe that no matter how many people flood in, there will be no trouble. In Mo Fan's setting, the imperial examinations of the Tianxuan Empire are divided into two subjects, civil and military, to select scholars respectively. The top candidates in the palace examinations of the two subjects will have the opportunity to meet the Empress Tianyan, and will be awarded the titles of the No. 1 Scholar in Letters and the No. 1 Martial Arts Scholar.

   After all, fighting the world depends on warriors, and ruling the world depends on literati.

  Of course, martial arts geniuses are generally good at comprehension, and they won't be too bad in the literary test. Therefore, there are also many all-rounders with both civil and military skills who enroll in both civil and military subjects at the same time.

  However, since Tianxuan was founded for thousands of years, the imperial examination system has continued to this day, and there has never been a person who has won the number one scholar in civil and military affairs at the same time.

   Among them, the closest one is Fu Qing, who won the first place in the martial arts examination and the second place in the literary examination a hundred years ago.

  Everyone in the world praises Tianxuan as the first genius in history. Now he is the principal of Guozijian. He is known as Principal Fu. His cultivation level is unknown. It is said that he is at least in the realm of Emperor Wu.

  Guozijian is an institution affiliated to the imperial court, which mainly trains successor talents for the imperial court. It is divided into two colleges, civil and military, not affiliated with each other, and both are under the jurisdiction of President Fu.

  The purpose of Mo Qingkuang's visit to the capital this time is to obtain the support of the Tianxuan imperial family in order to pass the entrance examination of the Martial Academy.

  The registration place for this imperial examination is in the government office in the south of the city. The Tianxuan Empire will not pursue the information of the candidates too much. They only need to ask their names and check their ages.

  Any young person under the age of 18 can take part in the imperial examination. Only those supervising students with excellent grades in the scientific examinations who were selected for the Imperial College will be investigated in detail by the imperial court.

   "Name?" In the government office, a knife and pen official in a blue robe asked expressionlessly. There was also a special artist painting the portraits of candidates, and Mo Qingkuang had to take off his bamboo hat to reveal his "true face".

  The threshold for the Tianxuan Imperial Examination is extremely low, so there are many applicants, and there are also a lot of names to be recorded every day.

  How could the knife and pen officer in charge of recording remember the face of each candidate? In order to prevent match-fixing and substitute exams, each candidate will be recorded with a portrait, and then compared during the exam. If there is any abnormality, the exam qualification will be cancelled.

   "Kuang Qing." Mo frivolously replied.

  Hearing Kuang Qing's name, the swordsman suddenly raised his head, looked at Mo Qingkuang carefully, and said in astonishment: "But Kuang Qing from Nianhua King's Mausoleum?"

  The little official's voice was a little louder out of astonishment, and many people in the government office turned their gazes over when they heard it.

   "You know me?" Mo Qingkuang was a little surprised.

   "Today is the first acquaintance, but Mr. Kuang's name is like a thunder in our capital and even in the Tianxuan Empire!" The swordsman said with a smile.

"Since your son won a big prize in the tomb of King Nianhua, and left behind the record of playing with the rookie brother Song Qian of Yuan Jianzong, the latest young Lin list of Daqimen has ranked you in the forty-ninth place!" With a flattering face.

   "And you helped the ninth princess win the barrier-breaking pill in the royal tomb. The ninth princess always talks about you."

  This genius, but the master far surpassed Song Qian, and even got the inheritance of Nianhua King, like a tiger with wings, unexpectedly, he came to refer to martial arts!

   "Really, it's easy to do." Mo nodded frivolously. Presumably it was Zhong Nian from the Daqi Gate at the gate of the hall that day reported it.

   But it doesn't matter, the greater the fame, the easier it is to be valued by Zhongzhou.

  Seeing Mo frivolously admitting, the audience immediately discussed.

   "It turns out that he is Kuang Qing, the one who played with Song Qian and finally obtained the inheritance of the Nianhua King!"

   "It is said that he is suave and handsome. His face is so dark, he looks like a peasant boy."

   "What do you know? Is it important to be able to fight yourself or to be able to play with your appearance?"

   "In terms of his talent, he is not the leader of the new generation in that sect, so how could he come to take the imperial examination?"

   "Shhh, be careful! This is Kyoto, please speak carefully."

   "Yes yes yes... Xie Xiongtai reminded me. But if he comes to take the imperial examination, wouldn't the position of champion of martial arts be in his pocket?"

   "That's right, the 49th place on the Youlin list, you know, there were only more than 70 champions in the last session!"

   Talents from all over the country who came to take part in the imperial examinations, most of them had no hope of entering the sect, or even if they managed to enter, they were still the bottom of the four major sects.

   Therefore, he came to Zhongzhou to take the imperial examination.

  The royal family's treatment of Guozijian is no worse than that of the four major sects. What's more, when you come here, you can become a key training target, which is much better than being unknown among the four major sects.

  It's a pity that Kuang Qing, such a big fish, came out of the imperial examination this time, and everyone was under a lot of pressure.

   Seeing people pointing fingers at him, the frivolous Mo Mo has long been used to it for many years, but what was said about him in the past was only curses, but today they are all praises.

  He has benefited a lot in his heart, it's great to be a genius.

   "Are you Kuang Qing?" Just as Mo was frivolous and secretly refreshed, a hostile voice came.

   Mo frivolously turned his head to look, and saw a richly dressed gentleman with powdered eyebrows, looking at him scrutinizingly.

   "Exactly, I wonder if you have any experience?" Mo Qingkuang didn't know who the other party was, and cupped his hands vigilantly.

   "My son is Li Ang, son of Li Jie, Shangshu of the Ministry of War. I heard that you showed your power in the tomb of King Nianhua, and you have been famous for a long time." Li Ang replied perfunctorily, with a smile on his face.

   "It turned out to be Li Ang. He is a genius no less than the Ninth Princess in our capital. He is also going to take the imperial examination this year. It is said that he is also a first-rank martial artist. He is ranked 87th in the Young Lin list."

   "There is excitement to watch, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, not to mention the hatred of taking one's wife."

   "What hatred for taking his wife?" Someone asked in confusion.

   "What else can it be? Young Master Li has always loved the Ninth Princess, and asked Li Shangshu to propose marriage to the Ninth Princess many times, but was rejected by His Majesty because the Ninth Princess was still young."

"But Mr. Li is persistent. No, two days ago Princess Ninth came back from Nanzhou, and Mr. Li expressed his love again. But Princess Ninth said that her husband must be at least as talented as Kuang Qing to be worthy of it." on her."

   "Mr. Li went home that night and heard that he smashed a lot of things in anger."

  ...

   "Boy, how does it feel to be a shield for the first time?" Mo Fan's joking voice sounded from Mo's frivolous heart.

  Mo frivolously couldn't help but wry smile, he didn't believe that this one-sided relationship could make the famous Ninth Princess feel for him.

  In the past, I was the one who harassed women, the famous shield harvester in Tiannan City.

   I didn't expect that one day, I would become someone else's shield. That Han Yan'er probably didn't expect that Kuang Qing, whom she casually mentioned, would actually come to the capital to take the imperial examination.

   Really got myself into a big trouble.

   "Old Ancestor, don't make fun of me. The arrows are coming."

  Mo Fan smiled indifferently: "So what if you come to the door, beat him up! Let me tell you, based on my years of experience, most powerful shields will win the beauty. Look at Lin Yang?"

   "..."

   "Secretly tell you, Han Yan'er is indeed very beautiful, even more beautiful than Chu Yanran." Mo Fan continued to encourage.

  If Mo Qingkuang can really **** Han Yan'er to be his wife, it will be considered a good match, after all, Han Yan'er's ancestor and empress is his default daughter-in-law.

  Ancestors match ancestors, and grandchildren match grandchildren.

  Mo frivolously rolled his eyes, and cupped his hands to Li Ang: "So it's Mr. Li."

  Li Ang pretended to be solemn and smiled: "Mr. Kuang, I heard that you are so powerful that even Song Qian was played by you in the applause. I really admire you. Why don't you take the time to give me some pointers?"
