After Yang Chen was given the responsibility of presiding over the examination by Wu Ling, he immediately sent people to renovate the examination hall.
The news of the Imperial Examination reform had also spread, causing quite a stir.
A month later.
Chang 'an City gradually became lively.
Countless examinees came to Chang 'an.
"Have you heard? The imperial examination this time would be recorded using a paste!”
"What do you mean by copying?"
"This name copying is to cover up all the information of the exam paper. Then, the content will be transcribed onto another piece of paper and sent to the examiner for marking!”
"So that's the case! Such ingenuity could guarantee great fairness! Who came up with this method?"
"It's the 'drunk and ignorant' Imperial Censor Yang!”
"The one who invented the aphrodisiac?"
"Not bad."
The streets and alleys of Chang 'an were filled with the conversations of the examinees.
They were quite concerned about the imperial examination this time.
..............
"Imperial Censor Yang, the examination questions have been sorted out. We will take our leave first.”A few officials said to Yang Chen.
"Milords, please wait a moment. I'm afraid you can't leave yet." Yang Chen smiled.”
"This..." Everyone was stunned and looked at Yang Chen blankly.
"In order to ensure that the examination questions are not leaked, you have to stay here until the imperial examination begins…" Yang Chen muttered.
"What? This..." Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Censor Yang, this is not good. Are we going to be imprisoned here?”
"Yes, yes."
"Censor Yang, we will never leak the test questions."
Yang Chen clasped his hands behind his back and said indifferently,"Everyone, don't worry. This official has already prepared food and lodging for everyone…"
After saying that, he left, leaving behind a confused crowd.
The officials looked at each other.
After a while.
One of them walked out of the room and gasped.
"What's wrong?"
"There are soldiers guarding the outside…"
Everyone was stunned. They walked to the door and looked outside. There were indeed soldiers outside. The defense was so strict that not even a fly could fly in.
They smiled bitterly, knowing that this Censor Yang was probably stricter than ever.
Hanyuan Palace.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Censor Yang has imprisoned all those who set the questions." Shangguan Wan 'er smiled.
"Oh?" Wu Ling raised her eyebrows. A trace of surprise appeared on her jade-like face. Then, the corners of her mouth curled up." He's really unexpected."”
Shangguan Wan 'er pursed her lips and smiled," That's right. The others probably never expected Censor Yang to come here. Censor Yang, I'm afraid you've offended quite a few people this time.”
Wu Ling's porcelain white face revealed a trace of coldness. With Zhen's support behind him, so be it if you offend him!”
Her phoenix eyes revealed a cold expression, and the majesty of an emperor was fully displayed.
Shangguan Wan 'er pursed her lips and smiled." Your Majesty, do you want to go and take a look on the day of the imperial examinations?”
Wu Ling was startled. She pondered for a moment," Alright."
Several days later.
The imperial examinations began.
It was crowded outside the examination hall.
Many examinees were gathered here. They were excited and discussed animatedly.
Other than them, there were also a large number of peddlers carrying loads and walking among the crowd.
They were selling brush, ink, paper, and inkstones here.
There would always be careless people who forgot to bring it, and this was the time for them to make a fortune.
"Censor Yang is here!" Someone shouted.
Everyone was in an uproar.
Yang Chen's name was extremely resounding to them, not only because of Yang Chen's poems, but also because Yang Chen was the host of this year's exam.
A large number of soldiers cleared the way, and Yang Chen's carriage slowly stopped at the examination hall.
In the crowd.
A handsome man with red lips and white teeth held a jade fan in his hand. She pursed her lips." This traitor sure knows how to put on a show…"
Beside her was Shangguan Wan 'er.
Shangguan Wan 'er was dressed in simple and elegant clothes. She had a graceful aura and looked like a graceful young master who had read a lot.
She smiled." I'm afraid Censor Yang is helpless. With so many examinees, he can only use the soldiers to clear the way.”
There were countless guards in casual clothes guarding them vigilantly. They did not dare to relax for a moment.
Yang Chen alighted from the carriage and gave a few instructions.
The official guarding the examination hall immediately said,"It's time. The examination hall is open…"
As his voice fell, the surrounding examinees all raised their heads.
The door opened.
Countless officials guarded it.
"All of you candidates, line up and enter the venue for inspection…"
The examinees were in a commotion.
Fortunately, Yang Chen was well prepared and nothing went wrong.
The officer dressed in a bailiff's uniform held the Water Fire Rod in his hand and had a serious expression.
"You, open the package!"
The examinee he pointed at hurriedly opened his bag and revealed the contents.
The bailiff checked carefully. Only after confirming that there were no mistakes could the examinees enter.
As for the examinees who entered the courtyard, they would be brought to another courtyard far away by a group of government runners for inspection.
In another courtyard, there were many examinees standing there. They looked at the house in front of them with blank expressions. They had just been brought here and did not know what was going on.
This room was not small, and the front and back doors were open. A group of examinees had just entered, and it was unknown what they were doing.
Inside the house.
"Ask them to take off their clothes," Yang Chen said indifferently.
The bailiff beside him immediately said in a deep voice,"All of you candidates, untie your clothes…"
" What?!" Everyone was stunned. He still had to take off his clothes?!
These examinees began to hesitate. The surrounding countless burly men stared at them with bright eyes, causing their hearts to tremble.
Yang Chen coughed lightly." We're in the house, not outside. What are you worried about? Moreover, everyone present was a man, so what was there to be afraid of?”
Many people were speechless. They were only scared when it was all men!
In such a house, there was a circle of burly men standing around them, looking at them with burning gazes. Who wouldn't be afraid?
Yang Chen saw them cowering and immediately said in a deep voice,"Time is limited. Those who are unwilling to cooperate will be disqualified from this examination."
" What?!" Everyone was stunned.
Finally.
Someone began to take off his clothes.
Yang Chen's action was to prevent people from copying some scriptures onto him to cheat.
He looked at these naked examinees and nodded." The next batch…"
These examinees hurriedly put on their clothes and went out from another door.
