The number one scholar in the ninth year of Hongzhi was Zhu Xizhou from Yangzhou Prefecture. One is from the south and the other is from the north. It’s our turn in the south.”

There was a talented man from Jiangnan who shook his head slightly and said.
The imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty have always been divided into northern and southern rankings. The talents in the south have always looked down on the talents in the north. There is an imagination that the south despises the north.

Someone looked at the talented people from Korea, Japan, and those from Nanyang and other regions gathered here at Wangyue Tower and said.
"Are you trying to laugh my teeth off?"
"Even they can win the first place, I write the word "王" backwards."
"Brother Wang, the character "王" written upside down is still the character "王""
"Then I'll write it horizontally. Anyway, it's absolutely impossible for them to win the championship. You don't have to look at who they are. But I heard that when I was here in Nanyang last year, because there were no scholars, as long as they could I took the test to recognize Chinese characters and write a few characters.”
"Many of them used to be accountants, crew members, and the like. Some of them were old scholars who could not pass the imperial exams no matter how hard we tried in the Ming Dynasty. What's more, there were some foreigners who wrote the Four Books and Five Classics. Even though I don’t know how to memorize it, I have passed the examination.”
"There are also those talents from Korea and Japan. Although I heard that some of them are indeed talented, how can they be compared to the talents from the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty?"
"So, if one of them can win the first prize, I will write the character "王" backwards."
"Brother Wang, the character "王" written upside down is still the character "王~"
"I'll write it horizontally~"
"Look, there are hundreds of talented people gathered here in front of you. By then, most of them will probably only be able to compete on the first, second, and third floors to see who knows more words."
"Those who can go up to the fourth floor must be talented people from the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?It’s time to lift people up. "
