Under the leadership of the five examiners including Liu Guoliang, Ling Hong, Bian Hengyi, Cao Hao, and Niu Shaojun, the supervisors and tens of thousands of spectators went to the Imperial Academy to perform at the Wuhan University campus.
As they walked, the five examiners laughed and chatted.
Liu Guoliang smiled and asked the other four examiners: "What do you think about the next martial arts test?"
"The martial arts test, of course, focuses on stability and tests some basics. Try to avoid surprises to avoid surprises!"
Ling Hong understood and said with a smile.
According to the rules of the palace examination, each of the five examiners will give a civil and military examination question. If a certain examiner intends to secretly help a certain supervisor, he will give the test questions that the supervisor is best at to facilitate the supervisor's performance.
In fact, the three examiners Liu Guoliang, Cao Hao, and Ling Hong also favored Ye Fan to a certain extent in the first round of literary examination questions.
They had long known about Ye Fan's experience in taking exams in various colleges and universities, and found that Ye Fan had an amazing ability to answer some strange, difficult, dangerous, biased and weird literary test questions. What other Marquis Wu didn't know, Ye Fan knew a lot.
Therefore, in the first question of the literary test, Liu Guoliang chose the strange martial spirit that Wu Hou knew the least about, and set a scoring rule that was most beneficial to Ye Fan to test the supervisors instead of using normal martial spirits. Extensive knowledge of exam proctors.
Sure enough, Ye Fan performed very well. This essay question alone got a perfect score of 100 points, which defeated a large number of other supervisors. The score was even lowered to a pitiful less than 10 points, which surprised Liu Guoliang and others.
What if Liu Guoliang did not intend to secretly help Ye Fan, but used normal questions and normal rules, such as "The first question of the literary test: Write a thousand normal martial arts spirits and related combat skills of the four tribes to get full marks."
It is estimated that all the supervisors in the hall will get a high score of 80 or 90 on this question. Because they usually read a lot of books about the martial spirits of the four clans. There are even many Wuhou who can get full marks. Wuhou with strong memories like Ye Fan and Rui Zifan will get full marks.
In this case, it is impossible for Ye Fan to draw a huge score gap of 90 points from Rui Zifan with just one question. The gap between the two sides is negligible.
It is precisely because among the five examiners, Liu Guoliang, Cao Hao, and Ling Hong, all secretly assisted Ye Fan, they came up with very tricky, dangerous and rare test questions in the literary test, which led to Ye Fan's advantages being fully utilized. came out and completely left many competitors such as Rui Zifan and Qin Ning behind.
The test questions given by Niu Shaojun and Bian Hengyi were relatively normal, and did not put much distance between Ye Fan and Rui Zifan.
But this is no longer relevant. The question-setting strategies of the three examiners Liu Guoliang, Cao Hao, and Ling Hong have completely worked, allowing Ye Fan to gain a large enough score advantage in the first round of the literary test.
Moreover, the strategies adopted by the three examiners were too clever and had no flaws, so that the other supervisors were left speechless and had nothing to say.
Because the literary test questions they set were extremely difficult for all the supervisors, but Ye Fan was the best at answering such difficult questions. I can't blame anyone for this, I can only blame them for not being able to answer it themselves. It's not like they can't answer the question on their own, but they blame the examiner for making the questions too biased and too difficult.
Niu Shaojun and Bian Hengyi also slowly thought about it and discovered the strategy adopted by Liu Guoliang and the others, but they did not point it out. They also admire Ye Fan, a supervisor who excels in literary examinations.
Next, is the martial arts test.
"I agree with Liu Cheng and Brother Ling's idea. The imperial examination is to select good talents for the country! In the martial arts examination, of course, the main ones will be Zhongzheng."
Cao Hao couldn't help but laugh.
Since the literary test has established a huge advantage. So in the martial arts test, it is natural to strive for stability to avoid accidents and cause Ye Fan to lose a lot of points.
As long as Ye Fan is allowed to try his best to compete with other supervisors in the martial arts test without creating a huge gap, then the first round of the palace test will be considered a complete success. The three of them were also able to return to the monarch smoothly.
…
The Imperial Academy's Wuhan University Campus is the largest and most well-equipped high-end campus in the royal city. It can accommodate a large number of Wuhou's students to compete in the campus.
Rui Zifan, Qin Ning and a small group of dozens of Wuhou supervisors fell behind the crowd and secretly discussed strategies for the next round of the martial arts test, how to suppress Ye Fan and prevent him from entering the first round of the palace test with civil and military scores. Ranking of three.
But among them, many Wuhou supervisors wanted to quit and did not want to continue fighting with Ye Fan.
"Brother Rui, Brother Qin! Ye Fan's strength is far beyond our imagination. We can't breathe just in a literary test, let alone a martial arts test. There is a total score difference between Brother Rui and him. One hundred and eighty points, let alone us. Even if we try our best in the martial arts test, we have no hope of preventing him from entering the top three in the first round of the palace test in terms of civil and military scores."
"Yes! We are doing this in vain, and we have also made enemies with Mark. Why bother!"
Several Wuhou said in low voices.
Rui Zifan's face changed, his eyes swept over them with a hazy look, and he asked in a deep voice: "Have you forgotten who suppressed your family?! In those two major cases, Ye Fan brought nearly three or four people inside and outside the court. All the successful ministers were imprisoned and sent to the frontier to serve as troops!
Most of our elders, clansmen, and close relatives were involved in these two major cases and were derogated, exiled, or even killed. We and Ye Fan have long had a deep hatred that cannot be resolved.
In this palace examination, unless Ye Fan is forcibly defeated, we will not be able to stand up, and neither will the family behind us.
Once Ye Fan enters the top three in the palace examination and becomes the most important minister of the imperial court, his power will inevitably increase greatly in the future, and his suppression of us will become even more intense!
In the next three hundred years, we and the family behind us will be crushed to death by him. "
As soon as Rui Zifan said these words, the group of Wuhou supervisors were suddenly moved and fell silent.
Even if they don't think about themselves, they still have to think about the future of the family behind them. Ye Fan is one of the youngest Wuhou in the Imperial College. It is estimated that it will be easy for him to live to be 300 years old. If they were suppressed by Mark for three hundred years, their family would probably be completely ruined.
"However, even if we try our best to prevent Ye Fan from entering the top three in the palace examination, our family still can't turn over! Our family participated in the second prince's rebellion case, and it didn't involve the entire family. It's okay. The king must have feelings for us. Suspicion, no matter how good our results are in the imperial examination, he will not reuse us and will marginalize us!"
A Wuhou said helplessly.
The other Wuhou nodded one after another, which was also the key to their loss of confidence. No matter how high their total civil and military scores are in the first round of the palace examination, when entering the second round of the palace examination, the monarch will definitely greatly improve the rankings of a group of Wuhou such as Ye Fan, Hao Ziming, Ling Qingshan and overwhelm them.
Because of the case of regicide and seizing the throne in Jinluan Palace, thirty or forty supervisors including Ye Fan, Hao Ziming, and Ling Qingshan all stood up to support the monarch. However, they, the clansmen, elders and close relatives of Marquis Wu, participated in the regicide rebellion in Jinluan Palace.
It is clear at a glance who the king will prefer.
Rui Zifan sneered lightly and said: "Huh, monarch?! How long do you think the monarch can live? Although the second prince failed to seize the throne, one thing is certain, that is, he did poison the monarch by means, and the monarch will definitely not live for long. "
"Oh, Brother Rui, what do you say?"
This group of Wuhou were all shocked. Since the monarch put down the rebellion in Jinluan Hall, they all thought that the monarch was fine, that his previous serious illness was an illusion, and that he could live for another forty or fifty years.
"The news from the palace is that the monarch is already considering the candidate for the crown prince, and will appoint a new crown prince within a few months! In the past, the monarch knew that he could live forty or fifty years, so he had been reluctant to appoint a crown prince. To prevent the crown prince from seizing power. Now that he is starting to think about the crown prince, this is the most obvious sign that he knows that his life span is about to run out and he is starting to prepare for his funeral."
Rui Zifan lowered his voice and whispered.
"We haven't heard anything about this important news."
"Brother Rui, you are so well-informed that you can even hear the news in the palace!"
This group of Wuhou were secretly shocked when they heard this, and they all said.
"It's not that I'm well-informed, but the other two princes are well-informed," Rui Zifan shook his head and said, "They have a lot of spies in the palace. They reached out to me, hoping that I would join their camp.
Let's suppress Ye Fan in the palace examination first, so that he will not be able to enter the top three in the first round of the palace examination, and then he will not be able to enter the top three in the palace examination.
Once the monarch dies, this Canglan Kingdom will not belong to the Third Master and the Fifth Master! When we take refuge in the new king of the future, our chances of turning around will be greatly increased! Both princes promised that as long as we surrender to them, they will help our family clear their names after they ascend the throne in the future.
But before that, we have to suppress Mark first. If Ye Fan gains power now, even if a new king takes the throne in the future, we will still be crushed to death by Ye Fan. "
Rui Zifan encouraged all the Wuhou Taoists.
"Okay! Brother Rui, tell me straight!"
"How can we prevent Ye Fan from entering the top three in the second round of martial arts trials?"
After hearing this, the martial princes were finally moved and made up their minds. Since this deep hatred could not be resolved for a long time, they would simply fight to the end with Ye Fan.
"Ye Fan's strength in the literary test was beyond my expectation. He must be ruthless!"
Rui Zifan's handsome face showed a ferocious look, and with a flick of his hand, he took out a bottle of elixir from the storage bag, "Blood-burning soul-burning elixir!"
"Blood-burning soul-burning pill?"
"Brother Rui...are you crazy? In order to deal with Mark, you don't hesitate to use this poison pill to stimulate your potential!"
When the supervisors saw what Rui Zifan was holding, they were immediately shocked.
Burning Blood and Soul Pill!
After taking this elixir, it can strongly stimulate the energy, blood and martial spirit, which will occur in a very short period of time, and will continuously and significantly increase the strength, and even directly raise one's own cultivation level to the second level of Wuhou Realm.
Generally, elixirs that stimulate potential and explode are difficult to last, but this elixir can last for a full hour.
But the harm is naturally greater, and it will seriously deplete the body's energy, blood and martial soul. As soon as the potency of the medicine wore off, his cultivation immediately declined significantly and he fell into weakness. Without several years of recovery, there is no way to recover.
"I didn't want to use this strategy at first! But as long as we can suppress Ye Fan, it is worth paying the price to not be suppressed by him in the next few hundred years! The five examiners have not yet announced the first round of the martial arts test. Don't be in a hurry to take it. This pill is wrapped with a layer of wax and is kept in the mouth. When the first round of the martial arts test is held, we will see the situation. If necessary, we will bite through the wax layer, take this pill, and use all our strength. Prevent Ye Fan from entering the top three in the martial arts test!"
Rui Zifan said fiercely to everyone: "One for each person, the time will come!"
"good!"
Qin Ning was cruel, took a scarlet pill, and held it in his mouth.
The other Wuhou supervisors also took one one after another and kept it in their mouths.
