Emperor Jing spoke.

"Invite ten candidates to enter the palace!"

Feng Xianfu raised his voice and heard it through the clouds.

Those students who are able to take part in the palace examination are already gearing up in the waiting area, eager to try. They are just waiting for this moment, striving to perfectly demonstrate what they have learned in their lives to the emperor and leave the best impression on the emperor.

However, what awaits is this arty, meaningless couplet title!

The ten lucky people couldn't help but be shocked!

This kind of interest in couplets is understandable when used to relieve boredom, but the current emperor actually brought this kind of interest into the final stage of the scientific examination, the imperial examination, a national event!

Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded! No one responded fluently to connect the first and second lines!

After a while, a tribute man stood up and bowed, as if he wanted to try to match the upper and lower couplets.

But he looked down and praised:

"The first couplet written by Your Majesty is too difficult, and I will never learn it correctly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tribute turned around to leave, but was stopped by Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng glanced at him and then said to the other silent Gongsheng students in the hall:

"This couplet was originally a fatal match. The fact that he gave up decisively after thinking is enough to show that he is honest and dares to give up. It is important for a person to have self-awareness."

From Emperor Jing's point of view, this tribute man was playing hard to get. On the surface, he was telling the truth, but in fact, he was praising the emperor's superb skills without revealing any trace.

But objectively speaking, this person is quite decisive in being able to give up immediately when faced with such a deadly opponent, and he is a suitable material for an official.

It's just that Emperor Jing has already reached the age of Ershun. He has been the emperor for thirty years and is used to being praised and flattered by others. Instead, he wants to lift the veil that hides the true heart in everyone's heart and see how much real ink is in his belly.
