Another half month passed in the Three Kingdoms era, and Chang'an City welcomed a grand event.
Countless talented scholars and students from all over the land streamed into Chang'an City. Whether they came from poor families or official households, they all rushed there.
There was only one reason: half a month earlier, Chancellor Jiang had announced that an Imperial Examination would be held in Chang'an City!
Anyone who passed the examination could immediately become an official.
For the people of the Three Kingdoms, who had always needed a Recommendation of Filial and Incorrupt Officials to enter government service, this was an unprecedented shock!
The Recommendation of Filial and Incorrupt Officials system was riddled with shady dealings. Officials protected one another, leaving many truly talented people buried in obscurity.
Examinations were different. The chancellor had declared that anyone who passed the assessment could become an official!
Moreover, the top three examinees would be named the First Scholar, Second Scholar, and Third Scholar.
The top three would not only receive huge Fortune Magazine rewards, but also meet the Son of Heaven and the chancellor and obtain extremely high-ranking posts!
The announcement made talented scholars throughout the land yearn for the opportunity and grow intensely excited.

Once the Imperial Examination appeared, it drew scholars from every province under Heaven. Anyone with talent hurried to scrape together travel expenses and rush to Chang'an.
