The 4th Year of Zhengyong, November 15th.
The Great Yu Dynasty's grace examination officially commenced, drawing over 5,400 scholars from all over the Great Yu to the Capital City to partake in the examination.
Nominally, the chief examiner for this test was Emperor Zhengyong, but the actual executor was the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Kong Xiangsi.
The contents of this grace examination were outlined by numerous officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel and personally selected and set by Zheng Yi.
Surveillance by the Embroidered Uniform Guard revealed that many noble families and factions within the court were competing for numerous placements in this grace examination.
However, due to Yang Xuansu's rebellion case, Zheng Yi executed many officials and their Nine Clans, which temporarily shook the heavens.
Thus, for this grace examination, no one in the Imperial Court dared to overstep their bounds.
