The final stage was held at a very large stag, and there were all sorts of scholars there. Many of them wore long robes and seemed full of mettle. There were both men and women, and they all waited for the final stage to begin.
"His Majesty has arrived!" a cry sounded out as Zhao Fu led a group people and walked out. Because the final stage of the Imperial Examination was quite formal, he wore his black and gold dragon inscription robe but did not wear his crown. Apart from some palace maids, there was also Li Si, Shang Yang, Meng Haoran, Shangguan Wan'Er, and Li Muqing.
There was also Wu Zetian, who was quite familiar with Imperial Examinations. After all, Imperial Examinations became popular during the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zetian had personally created the Martial Examination system. She was capable of overseeing both the Civil and Martial Examinations.
