Zhou Xing and Hao Chujun rushed to Zhongnan Academy with great enthusiasm. There were crowds around him. Everyone discussed Li Shimin's trip to Zhongnan Academy while walking, and they were all excited. After all, it was an extremely rare opportunity for ordinary people to see Li Shimin, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, with their own eyes.

Zhou Xing and the others were very young, and their legs were fast enough. However, when they came to Zhongnan Academy, they found that the entire academy had become a crowd. After all, there were many people here, and Li Shimin's arrival attracted countless people, which made the mountain where the academy was located also crowded.

However, what surprised Zhou Xing and Hao Chujun was that when they came to the gate of Zhongnan Academy, they found that the gate of the academy was actually open, and anyone could enter and exit at will. Compared with Nanshan Academy, where the gate was closed, Zhongnan Academy's approach seemed very grand and won the favor of many people.

Speaking of so many people coming today, they don’t want to study in the academy. There are still many people who come to join in the fun. After all, the academy is a new thing. No one has seen it before, and it is related to scholars. So many people want to come to see the world, but they didn’t expect that Nanshan Academy would not allow it to enter. Now Zhongnan Academy has finally satisfied their curiosity.

Zhou Xing and the others entered the gate of Zhongnan Academy and found that although there were many people inside, there were special people guarding both sides of the road. In other words, the people entering could only move in specific areas, and others were not allowed to break in other places. However, this was enough, at least it could allow people to understand the general structure of the academy.

What everyone even unexpected was that the entrance of the academy actually provided free tea for tourists. Zhou Xing and Hao Chujun were also a little thirsty at this time, so they went up to drink a cup of tea with others, and then went into the academy for a tour. They found that the entire academy covers a large area, and there were dozens of classrooms where students taught, and there were also a larger living area behind them.

What surprised Zhou Xing and Hao Chujun even more was that there was a library in Zhongnan Academy, and the collection of books was not less than that of the Imperial College. However, there were too many people coming today, so although the library was open, it could not read books. Instead, there was only one channel for entry and exit, which allowed people to roughly see the number of books in it.

After walking around the academy, Zhou Xing and Hao Chujun also felt unsatisfied, especially thinking that if they could pass the assessment, they could study and live here for a long time, which made them yearn for them.

However, it was already afternoon, and the enrollment of the academy was about to begin. Although many people followed Li Shimin's car to Zhongnan Academy, some people still felt that Nanshan Academy was more suitable for them, so some people left quietly at this time. However, there were still crowds of people on Zhongnan Academy, and all those who wanted to register were concentrated in the small square in front of the academy because there were people from the academy explaining the enrollment process to them.

"The imperial examination class goes to the right to register, and the ordinary class goes to the left to register!" In the small square in front of Zhongnan Academy, a person in charge was shouting at the people around who were preparing to register, and directing people to divert them to both sides. After all, there are too many people, and it is not a solution to squeeze in the square.

"Brother Hao, we may be separated. I'll go to the left to take a look!" Among the crowd, Zhou Xing said to Hao Chujun. They had known in advance that there were two types of enrollment for Zhongnan Academy, one was a person like Hao Chujun who would take the imperial examination next year, and the other was a young and basic ordinary scholar like Zhou Xing.

Hao Chujun nodded immediately, and then the two of them went to the registration place. Zhou Xing came to the registration office of the ordinary class on the left, but found that there were also many people crowding here. At first, everyone rushed forward desperately, but later, people from the academy came out to maintain order and asked everyone to line up to register, which accelerated the speed.

It was soon Hao Chujun's turn to register, but he found that the registration process was very simple. He just asked his name, hometown, address and other questions, and then asked him to enter a room in the academy where many people who had registered were already waiting behind the table. Zhou Xing found a table to sit down with his own guidance.

After a while, rows of tables in the room were finally filled. Then a serious-looking gentleman came in and sent each person a paper, asking them to answer the questions on the paper within an hour.

Zhou Xing was also very nervous at first, but when he saw the questions on the paper, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because the questions on the paper were not very difficult, and it could even be said to be some very basic questions. At least Zhou Xing felt that he had a very smooth answer.

After only half an hour, Zhou Xing had already answered the questions, but no one had handed in the paper at this time, which made Zhou Xing a little nervous. He carefully checked the paper again and confirmed that there was no mistake, he mustered up the courage to stand up and hand in the paper. After all, he wanted to go out early and see how Hao Chujun was doing in the exam?

However, what Zhou Xing did not expect was that after he handed the paper to the invigilator, the other party did not let him leave, and read his paper on the spot, and then wrote a big word "分" on it. At this time, someone immediately came to guide him to another room, but there were only a few men waiting here, and there were no other students.

Zhou Xing sat on the chair in front of several gentlemen with uneasy anxiety, and then several gentlemen took turns asking him some questions, including his personal situation and some questions related to Confucianism. However, these questions were a bit difficult, and Zhou Xing was not sure when he answered, so he could only explain his understanding of the questions.

After Zhou Xing finished answering his husband's question, he was invited outside the academy again and was told that the results would not be released tomorrow. At that time, the candidates who were selected will be announced in front of the academy. This made Zhou Xing nervous and expectant. Then he found Hao Chujun, who had just come out, and asked about the other party's exam. When he learned that the other party had a good exam, he couldn't help but be happy for the other party.

"Your Majesty is out!" Just as Zhou Xing and Hao Chujun were discussing how to go back, they suddenly heard someone shouting, which made everyone focus on the gate of the academy. After all, they only knew that Li Shimin was coming, but they never saw each other's shadow.

However, to everyone's surprise, the first one was not Li Shimin, but a gift prepared by Li Shimin for these students!
