Chapter 57: Inquiry about the Way

In the Imperial Study Room of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Jin Geng was reviewing the papers from the palace exam.

The triennial grand examination was an important talent selection for Great Xia, relating to the foundation of the state, so he took it very seriously.

Today, after the conclusion of the palace exam, he sat in the Imperial Study Room, correcting the papers of the tribute scholars.

"What a splendid piece!" He couldn't help but praise as he read through the papers in his hand.

The essay cited classics creatively and the prose blossomed with brilliant expressions, every word a gem. It was truly unique among the papers he had reviewed.

Emperor Jin Geng turned to the examinee's name and saw 'Li Shiming'.

His expression shifted slightly, as the name Li Shiming had come up multiple times in recent reports.
