The imperial examination of this dynasty follows the system of the previous dynasty. The provincial examination halls only accept local candidates, but the Shengjing Examination Hall can accept scholars from all over the world. Students from Northern Zhili are assigned according to their place of origin and are all in the Shengjing Examination Hall. In addition to students who come from all over the country to admire them, there are a total of 11,029 candidates in the Shengjing Examination Hall this year!
Nothing else matters, just because he is a "disciple of the emperor"!
The scholars who took the examination in Shengjing Imperial Academy were all from the imperial city. If they were thick-skinned enough, they could boast that they were "disciples of the emperor". Taking the examination under the emperor's nose, in a sense, they were also disciples of the emperor. In addition, some talented students, as long as they were near Northern Zhili, would also come to Shengjing to take the examination.
It is better to come to Shengjing Imperial College than to pass the exam in a poor Imperial College, because the chief examiner here is the Hanlin University Scholar. There are dozens of people who pass the provincial examination, but there is only one chief examiner. The chief examiner is the teacher. It is better to have a strong chief examiner in the future than to have other chief examiners!
The inspection system of the provincial examination was much stricter than that of the child examination. Adrian Tang had to take off all his clothes to be inspected by the officials. After the inspection, each candidate could not enter the examination room immediately. They had to line up outside the examination room and wait until all 100 students were inspected before entering together.
