Chapter 159 Palace Exam
"oh?"
Xiao Ye felt his heart and liver being pinched by an invisible hand, and he was throbbing violently!
Even if he is not as careful as Su Yue'er, in the past few months, Su Yue'er has been silently following him, washing away all the bad luck, and willing to be a little woman, who can be truly ruthless?
"I'll do it!"
Su Yue'er took the bowl from Yin Yin's hand, sat on Xiao Ye, scooped out a dumpling with a spoon, blew it a few times, then reached to Xiao Ye's mouth, and Yingying smiled.
"this……"
Xiao Ye blushed in a rare way.
"Xiao Lang, it's the hardest thing to be able to get the kindness of a beauty!"
"Eat quickly, don't let everyone Su's hands freeze."
Several people started to cheer.
Yin Yin curled his lips.
Su Yue'er looked at Xiao Ye without any hesitation.
‘Forget it, forgot!’
Xiao Ye leaned his head slightly, bite the dumplings, sucked them in his mouth.
The dumplings are smooth and greasy, a little hot, and are fragrant and sweet, as if they are carrying a little bit of Su Yue'er's body fragrance. Xiao Ye couldn't help but feel slightly moved.
"We want to feed us too!"
Lu Wen and Chen Zi'ang shouted loudly.
Doughnuts mean good luck and good luck. Eating dumplings before the exam is a good start.
Unconsciously, after a sumptuous breakfast, Xiao Ye took a ox cart and left the guild hall.
Luoyang passes through the city by Luoshui. Taichu Palace is located in the north of Luo, and you need to pass through Tianjin Bridge.
In the history of the earth, Tianjin Bridge was a floating bridge. In this world, there were monks who used magical powers to participate in the construction. The entire bridge, together with the guide bridge, was thousands of feet long and spanned the two sides of the Luoshui River. The bridge deck was ten feet wide. Twelve bridge piers stood in the Luoshui River and were a landmark building in Luoshui.
After crossing the bridge, not far away, it was Taichu Palace.
In the wind and snow, a famous tribute came one after another. Although the tribute was sure to win, most of the same jinshi were sent to remote areas to serve as county magistrates, and they were ruined for the rest of their lives. After all, not everyone has the skills and abilities of Zhang Jianzhi. What's more, Zhang Jianzhi is over 60 years old, and is very scheming and treacherous. How can a young man be compared to a novice?
It is no exaggeration to say that the situation of the same Jinshi and Jinshi is as vast as the world. Everyone looks very serious. In the last exam, everyone puts all their efforts into it and fights the last one. They look at others with a faint hostility.
At the same time, Quan Luoyang's eyes were also focused on the square in front of Taichu Palace. Although ordinary people only watched the excitement, at most they discussed who Wenqu Star came to earth, but for the high-ranking officials and powerful people in Luoyang, this was a good time to choose a son-in-law.
Who has few daughters?
Taking out a daughter and marrying a Jinshi is a sure-fire deal.
The information of 105 tribute scholars has been placed on the desks of each company.
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
The sky-bright drum at the top of Duanmen City was beaten heavily. The drum sound was dull and thick, full of supreme majesty. Everyone looked solemn. Xiao Ye even felt that the dragon energy covered by secret techniques was actually ready to move. He wanted to reconcile with the drum sound, and hurriedly calmed down and did not dare to think about it anymore.
"Kalala~~"
The palace, which is as high as three feet high, is open.
Dozens of eunuchs ran out of the palace, with their horses running on the snow mud, and a middle-aged eunuch, with his elbows turning on his tail, stood up and screamed: "Dear tribute scholars, line up according to the order of the list and follow our family to the palace, don't look around and make noise!"
As he said that, the white dead fish eyes swept away with a gloomy look, and turned around and left.
Entering from Duanmen is the imperial city, where the imperial center is located. One hundred and five tribute men remain silent, walking in the wind and snow in turn, passing through a straight path, and the majestic Yingtian Gate. Entering from Luocheng Gate west of Yingtian Gate is the Luocheng Hall.
Xiao Ye walked in the imperial city, frightened. Through the sympathy of the dragon energy, he vaguely sensed several deep and sufficiency breaths in the palace, which were extremely vast, with a little bit of the peaceful and compassionate nature of Buddhism. Any one of them could easily crush him.
The palace is a sacred and majestic place for others, but for him, he is not stingy with the dragon's and tiger's den!
‘Maybe, it’s good to be a county magistrate?’
Xiao Ye secretly turned his mind. Although he advised Jiang Fang that being a county magistrate was not a good way out, he was an old bacon soul who had traveled through time and a monk. He could not defeat the local gentry and officials. He climbed step by step from the local area and became the general manager, and was also a senior official of the third rank.
It’s not that he has such an idea. He really has a dragon spirit and is easy to get along in the local area, but the capital is too dangerous.
Before I knew it, the Luocheng Hall was already in front of me. The hall was brightly lit. Outside the hall were several officials of the Ministry of Rites, holding the list and praising the name in turn. Only whenever they were called out to the reputation could they enter the hall. Eunuchs led them to the seat.
Xiao Ye is the seventeenth, with five seats in a row, he is in the fourth row, and the palace examination pays great attention to etiquette. Although the Tang Dynasty already had a Hu bench, it was still considered not to be a noble hall. The examination was kneeling, with a soft cushion under the knees and a short cushion in front of him.
After everyone was seated, a eunuch sang: "Distribute the test papers!"
A young eunuch rushed out with the test paper and placed it on everyone's desks. Then he patted the side without saying a word.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, an eunuch waved the quiet whip in his hand!
According to the etiquette taught in advance, the emperor is coming.
Sure enough, a eunuch shouted at the top of his voice: "The Queen Mother and Your Majesty are here!"
A stream of footsteps sounded in the back hall. The emperor was wearing a crown garment, a twelve flat crown, and a palace maid with a round fan following him. He stepped up to the jade steps step by step and sat on the throne.
And behind the emperor, there was a bead curtain, and there were also figures flashing, and several women entered.
Xiao Ye rolled his eyes secretly.
My cheap fourth uncle looks like a 24 or 25 years old, with a pale face and a dull eyes, as if he is a walking corpse. He has no vitality as a young man at all. Instead, he is in the curtain behind him. Although he cannot see clearly, he has infinite atmosphere.
"Worship the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!"
Another eunuch was shouting.
"I'm here to pay homage to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!"
Everyone stood up and bowed.
"Flat!"
A majestic sound came from the curtain.
Xiao Ye could see clearly, and a trace of humiliation flashed through Li Dan's eyes.
It is obvious that during the court meeting, the Empress Dowager did not allow Li Dan to come to the court, but the palace examination summoned Li Dan over to let the students all over the world see who is the master of the Tang Dynasty. If someone is not angry and has resentment in his writing, he will be willing to fight against each other!
‘This fourth uncle in my family is not simple either!’
After Xiao Ye figured it out, he couldn't help but laugh.
It has been recorded in history that after Empress Wu became emperor, she summoned Li Longji's biological mother to the palace and killed him. Li Danhun was nothing, but she dared not ask. Later, Li Dan became the emperor and valued Princess Taiping to suppress Li Longji. However, Li Longji was more skilled and launched a coup in time to eliminate Princess Taiping and his followers, forcing Li Dan to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor.
"Thank you and Your Majesty!"
Everyone thanked and stood up.
The curtain said: "The imperial court opened a vocational examination to select talents for the country. I am very pleased to see that there are many talents in the world. I hope you can answer the questions in a solid manner, and I will choose the talents to use them!"
"Thank you Queen Mother!"
Everyone thanked again.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor stood up one after another.
"I respectfully send the Empress Dowager to Your Majesty!"
Everyone saluted again.
In fact, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor came over and showed their attention and expressed their concern. It was impossible to sit for a whole day like on TV and watch the students taking the exam below.
Not to mention whether a group of young boys have such weight, just in the daily life of the emperor, modern national leaders are busy with every day and full of schedules. In ancient times, there was neither artificial intelligence assisted analysis nor think tanks to help come up with ideas. Everything depends on the emperor alone.
Historical records include Qin Shihuang reviewing 300,000 words a day, and Zhu Yuanzhang reviewing more than 200 memorials a day on average. During Yongzheng's tenure, he reviewed 250,000 memorials. Where can I have time to spend?
Of course, the tyrants are not listed here.
In fact, many foolish monarchs were ambitious when they first ascended the throne, but the emperor was not something that ordinary people could do. They would give up on themselves after not long after they could persist.
Xiao Ye looked at the test questions.
