章節 900: Chapter 902: Preliminary Review, An Overwhelming Momentum_1

Everyone says that participating in the Competition of The Eight Academies before passing the Imperial Examination is a great opportunity, look, one can even help one's own father to get promoted.

"Do you know why Chang'an Academy must secure second place?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"It must be because Zhang Xiuquan cares about face, and at the same time, a lower ranking would affect his status in Capital City," Jiang Yichun said solemnly.

Bai Ruozhu thought about it and nodded. At this time, the Study Palace was like middle or high school, and then passing the Imperial Examination to enter the Imperial Academy was like going to university; passing the higher level of the Imperial Examination and getting one's name written in gold equated to becoming a civil servant.
