Pingyang Prefecture is the core of the Seven Prefectures of the South.
The Celestial South Dao Governor's Office is located in Pingyang City, and the provincial examination that Chen Xu will attend is held in the Imperial Examination Hall in Pingyang City.
For ten days, Chen Xu walked alone in the Lingxi Mountains, seemingly far from the mundane noise, paying no heed to the world outside his window.
But actually, he hasn't neglected the attention to the outside world at all.
The imperial examinations are absolutely not something that can be achieved by working behind closed doors.
County and prefecture examinations might be passed by rote learning, but when it comes to academy examinations, especially at the provincial level, what is tested is far beyond just the content in books.
On the first day of June, Chen Xu initially saw the public opinion battle before the provincial examination.
Now, this public opinion battle is growing more intense.
