บท 1051: Chapter 1047 Exile

His Majesty placed exceptional importance on this additional examination!

Originally harboring high hopes for this Beneficent Examination, he was infuriated by the leak of the examination topics. Now, as the exam commenced, he appointed his trusted aide and good friend, King Ye Han, to personally oversee the examination process.

Ye Han himself was a man with an icy countenance. The moment he took his seat as the Chief Examiner, his aura of bleakness and sternness immediately ensured that all the students behaved themselves, not even daring to speak loudly.

The examination proceeded in utter silence.

The additional test consisted of one essay from the Four Books, an eight-line poem written in five-character verses, two classic passages, one policy question, and at the end, there was unexpectedly an additional question concerning water irrigation.
