Teacher Cui quickly directed the examiners to hand out the test papers, which were actually sheets of white paper.

The table and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were already set up.

The emperor had already given the questions.

Now, just write them directly.

"Damn it."

Shen Wuming looked at the white paper in front of him and realized for the first time that he had made a mistake.

The empress really knows how to play.

"Unify the world, unify his mother's hammer, you can just surpass the ninth realm and push it flat."

"Can you do it?"

Shen Wuming complained in his heart, but for the sake of his position as the top scholar, he still had to think carefully.

He picked up a piece of white paper.

Recalling the strategies of unifying the world since the dynasties, he wrote down a large piece.

But there is no doubt that there are not many strategies that are really suitable for the Han Dynasty.

From the historical time period, the current Han Dynasty is more similar to the early Tang Dynasty.

That is, the separatist regimes of the princes at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

But the Tang Dynasty was able to unify the world, one is the accumulation of the Longchuan Group over the years.

The second is Li Shimin's personal reasons.

Third, Li Yuan inherited a lot of political heritage from the Sui Dynasty.

This is different.

"If there is a reference, it should be the Southern and Northern Dynasties, or the Three Kingdoms period!"

"But the Three Kingdoms finally belonged to the Jin Dynasty, which was essentially the internal political corruption of the three countries!"

"It was eventually destroyed by the Nine-Rank System, and although the Jin Dynasty unified the world, it did not last long."

"The Southern and Northern Dynasties were unified by the Sui Dynasty, and tracing back to the Northern Zhou Dynasty..."

Shen Wuming has a lot of ideas in his head, but not many of them are suitable for the Han Dynasty.

He listed the dynasties one by one, and then emphasized the advantages of them.

Shang Yang's reforms in the Qin Dynasty changed the traditional aristocratic structure, and the military merit system inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

The Han Dynasty won the hearts of the people and recruited talents.

Jin Dynasty... it's better not to mention it.

The Sui Dynasty was mainly the reform of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty had an outstanding ruler.

The Song Dynasty developed the economy and seized military power.

The Yuan Dynasty had strong combat effectiveness, especially the cavalry, which had the foundation for blitzkrieg.

The Ming Dynasty had a strong desire for revenge, and the people's hearts could be used. In addition, they built high walls and stored a lot of food to slowly claim the throne.

The Qing Dynasty took advantage of the natural disasters and man-made disasters of the Ming Dynasty, and the Eight Banners system itself also had its advantages.

Later...

Shen Wuming sorted out these things one by one, and then circled the common points.

One is to seize the hearts of the people, one is to take advantage of the enemy's weaknesses, and one is to strengthen the country and the army.

These are the three major points.

And to achieve these things, the means are often reforms.

For example, Shang Yang, for example, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, for example, giving up military power with a cup of wine.

After writing for more than an hour, Shen Wuming wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally started to write formally.

"If you want a tree to grow tall, you must strengthen its roots; if you want a river to flow far, you must dredge its source..."

With an idea, he wrote like a god at this moment, and in just two quarters of an hour, he wrote a policy paper.

At this moment, he secretly glanced at the people around him, most of whom were writing furiously.

However, everyone was frowning, and it was obvious that they were also stumped by this question.

"So no one knows how to do it!"

Shen Wuming secretly rejoiced in his heart, not because he was too bad, but because the empress was too tricky.

The palace examination lasted for three hours in total.

Shen Wuming checked again, confirmed that there was no problem, and began to doze off like the empress.

Although the palace examination was an opportunity to show off, the things in hand were the most important.

After writing, it would be better to take a break.

After all, last night, those two little goblins were too greedy and too clingy, and the result was too cruel.

Anyway, he was very tired.

It was not that he had to be unrestrained before the exam, but he wanted to adjust his mood in this way.

As a result, he was overworked.

Originally, he just wanted to take a nap, but he didn't expect that it was good to sleep in this palace.

He fell asleep unknowingly.

Then he came to the dream again, but this time it was not the garden, but this Golden Palace.

"Hmm?"

Shen Wuming's heart moved, and he looked around. All the candidates were gone, and he was the only one still sitting in his seat.

Master Cui was gone too.

But on the dragon throne, there was a stunning figure sitting, looking over with a sharp gaze.

"Gudong!"

Shen Wuming felt something was wrong, pursed his lips, and then strode forward.

"Your Majesty!"

The emperor had already revealed his cards, and he couldn't continue to play dumb, so he had to bite the bullet.

The empress nodded lightly, looking at him sharply, "How do you feel?"

"Not bad."

Shen Wuming grinned, to be honest, he felt very bad.

"That's fine."

The empress slowly stood up and walked in front of him, "But I have a doubt."

Shen Wuming said: "What doubt?"

The empress said: "I just saw your manuscript, and there are a lot of things written on it."

"All very reasonable."

"But I am confused, what do those Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties you wrote mean?"

"Of course I know Qin, and Han is my Han Dynasty, right? But what you wrote doesn't seem right."

"What about Liu Bang entering the pass and making three laws? Why haven't I heard of this person?"

"And among the royal families of all dynasties, only the former Shu and the latter Shu have the surname Liu, right?"

"And the later Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, I have never heard of them and never seen them."

The Empress' eyes were filled with contemplation and intense scrutiny, and Shen Wuming couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

I forgot about this when I was drafting just now.

This Empress not only has a high level of cultivation, but also holds the Nine Cauldrons.

Even if I was in Rongguo Mansion, she could enter my dream, not to mention that we were in the Golden Palace at this time?

"This..."

Shen Wuming grinned. This is really hard to explain. Tell her that I am a time traveler?

Doesn't she think I'm crazy?

"Forget it, no need to explain."

The Empress suddenly spoke again, "I called you here to ask you a question!"

"What question?"

"You were outside the palace just now, and I heard what your wife said to you!"

"Ah?"

"Ah what? It's about being surrounded by women and having all the happiness!"

"Uh..."

Shen Wuming's head was full of black lines. This Empress was really wrong. How could she eavesdrop on people's whispers?

"Do you want to be the top scholar?"

The empress raised her lips and winked at him, "Agree to one condition and I will choose you as the top scholar."

Shen Wuming rolled his eyes, "What if I don't agree?"

"You beat me up before, and I haven't settled the score with you yet, and I also gave you a plan to reduce the power of the vassal states!"

"You just gave me a few thousand taels of silver to get rid of me, and now you are threatening me with the top scholar position?"

"Even if you are the emperor, you can't be so unreasonable, right?"

The empress glared, "Don't you want to live? If I don't beat you up for a few days, you will feel itchy, right?"

"Then beat me to death." Shen Wuming stiffened his neck and snorted coldly.
