The palace examination, the highest level of the imperial examination system, allows candidates, if successful, to attain high positions and bring glory to their families.
Therefore, as the examination begins, the examinees are all diligently answering the questions. Those who have made it this far are considered exceptionally talented individuals across the entire Great Song, hence none of them were daydreaming or sleeping upon arrival.
In this vast examination hall, Chen Mo is not the only one supervising, although with his capability, he could manage alone.
Besides Chen Mo, there are six clerks walking back and forth to prevent any cheating.
One must know that from ancient times to the present, cheating in every imperial examination has not been uncommon, with instances of cheating even in palace examinations exceeding just one or two cases.
