My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 283 - 163: First in the Spring Exam_3
The Horse Riding and Shooting sections, just like the others, were held inside the Examination Hall.
These two subjects were simpler than the Imperial Examination.
Li Nuo noticed during the exam that the ground for the spring Horse Riding section was wider and had fewer bumps, and the targets for Shooting were about one-third closer than those in the official Imperial Examination, making it naturally much easier.
In the Seventh Examination Hall, two thousand people participated in the first test.
After the Six Arts were completed, less than a hundred remained.
The results of all candidates from the examination halls were sent to the Ministry of Personnel, where the final rankings were determined.
Among them, the top one hundred could enter the Four Great Academies.
Those who passed the spring examination, but were not selected by the Four Great Academies, could still choose to study at smaller academies; it was just a bit more expensive, but they still had the qualifications to participate in the Imperial Examination.
Clerks at the Ministry of Personnel were still finalizing the rankings from the results sent by each Examination Hall.
As a Minister of Personnel, Lord Song naturally could view the spring admissions list in advance.
He entered a government office where about a dozen Ministry personnel were busy.

"Lord Song!"
Seeing Song Zhe enter, everyone immediately stood up to greet him.
Song Zhe waved his hand, signalling them to continue, and then asked someone at the door, "Is the top hundred list ready?"
The results sent from each examination hall were already organized by subject, making it easy to summarize the top hundred.
The official respectfully handed over a list, saying, "My lord, it has been organized."
Song Zhe's gaze shifted to the list, instinctively starting from the back.
Even though he was Li Xuanjing's son, having only prepared for the Imperial Examination for half a year, Song Zhe felt he should be able to make it into the top hundred, but ranking at the top seemed unlikely.
Not in the last ten.
Not in the last twenty.
Not in the last fifty.
Song Zhe was almost reaching the top ten of the spring examination, yet Li Nuo's name was still absent.
Could it be that he didn't make it into the top hundred?
After all, his preparation time was short. It was normal not to make it, but, with only twenty days until the Imperial Examination, not making it into the top hundred of the spring examination likely meant he would be eliminated in the first subject of the Imperial Examination.
His gaze inadvertently swept across the list, and his expression briefly stunned.
The first name on the list was the one he had searched for a long time.
Li Nuo.
This represented the first place in the spring examination.
After a moment, Song Zhe said to an official, "Give me the results list for each subject."
The lists sent from each examination hall included the specific scores for each subject.
The Ministry of Personnel would also do a cumulative ranking of the scores from each subject.
Moments later, Song Zhe had several sheets of paper in his hands.
Li Nuo's name was easy to locate, as it was at the top in each one.
Book Department, excellent in Calligraphy, A in painting, excellent in Law, A+ in Composition, overall marked as A+, first in Book Department.
Excellent in Mathematics, first in Mathematics.
Excellent in Ritual Department, first in Ritual Department.
There were quite a few people who achieved excellent in these two subjects, but Li Nuo's name was at the forefront of everyone.
The order of candidates' scores was not arranged arbitrarily; with the same scores, his name being placed at the front meant either his test presentation was neater, his handwriting was better, or his problem-solving process was more exquisite; in any case, his top ranking was certainly the result of comparing test papers.
Song Zhe continued reading.
Excellent in Music Department, first in Music Department.
Excellent in Horse Riding, first in Horse Riding.
Excellent in Shooting, first in Shooting.
First in each of the Six Arts.
First in the spring examination.
Song Zhe stared blankly at the familiar name on the paper.
At that moment, time seemed to flow backwards twenty years.
He felt once again the fear of being dominated by Li Xuanjing...
