6. Who is exiled

Zheng Zhi did not answer. He pursed his thin lips and turned his face high to look Gao Gao's door, and no longer paid attention to Gao Yue's words.

Gao Yue thought to himself that the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was a bit too bad. You can say that royal relatives like Zhu Sui and Wang Biao came to join in the fun. Zheng Zhi's reputation shocked the two prime ministers, and he used his reputation to threaten his head in a noble way, and would leave a way for us to live!

Just as they were about to think of it, the crowd in front of An’s door was in a stir. Liu Deshi and the Soldier Duke were sweating all over. Even when they called their own names, they came, "Yi Song, why did you come so early? If you hadn’t heard the quarrels of you, you wouldn’t know that you had already been at the gate of the imperial city!"

At this moment, Zheng Zhi looked over and looked at Gao Yue, "So you're called this name."

"According to the correct rules, the hour of Mao has arrived, please come to the door and let go!"

With this long shout, the door covered with golden nails slowly opened with a heavy momentum in the rumbling drums, and the black shadows on it swirled.

Gao Yue looked up and saw the colorful light of the morning light down the archway on the city gate, until the stone on the edge of the corridor. Then two rows of palace halberd men walked with rumbling steps, holding up all the long weapons in their hands, and the hijacks retreated and retreated one after another. The group of halberd men then stood along the wood on both sides of the city gate corridor. Several eunuchs in beautiful clothes slowly walked out, with the leader squinted their eyes, looked around and looked around at the dark crowd that could not be seen. Then they laughed, made a gesture on the side, shouted loudly, "All the virtuous and literary talents, white-clothed ministers, please go inside and follow this road. From the day to the night, please do your best to understand the skills of adaptation. The Jinshi and the imperial examination officers went to the Southern Court of the Ministry of Rites, and other various subjects to the Ministry of Personnel's Capital Hall."

At this time, Gao Yue saw a young eunuch with beautiful eyes next to the high eunuch, and immediately shook his head and said, "Three candles are gone, burning the hearts of the scholars; the eight rhymes are completed, and the mouths of the ministers are broken."

As a result, these eunuchs and the halberds standing under the city gate all burst into laughter when they heard the jokes of the little eunuchs.

But Gao Yue couldn't listen. He continued to stare at the towering golden plaques and vermilion arches at the city gate, and then slowly said in his heart, "Once I spend today, I will have much more knowledge than most people in the original era! You have also been to the college entrance examination halls in their respective counties and cities. I have participated in the Jinshi exam of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty! This is enough for me to brag for the rest of my life. Hi, I just have no object to brag."

Before he could finish his passion, there was a Duke of the Military Affairs Office in front of him, Liu De's room, and countless candidates were pushed behind him. Gao Yue staggered a few times and hurriedly carried his luggage and food box. His face was about to be twisted. He was sandwiched between countless heads and slowly walked towards the imperial city at his door. "Damn, the first impression, this Tang Dynasty imperial examination is comparable to the Spring Festival travel rush..."

From An to enter, the Taimiao Bureau is located on the east and the Taichang Temple is located on the west. Walk two or three hundred steps forward, that is, the Shaofu Supervisor in the east, the Taifu, and the Taipu Second Temples, and then go forward. Going forward, the left military guard, the Zuowei Guard, the Nancao of the Ministry of Personnel (Southern Court), and the Nancao of the Ministry of Rites (Governor Court) are arranged in one line, occupying half of the fang area, among which the Nancao of the Ministry of Rites is located at the westmost.

A tide of nearly three thousand students was separated here - the north of the South Court of the Ministry of Rites, which is the location of the Six Ministry of the Shangshu Province, and the Ministry of Personnel examinations for all other subjects such as Ying Mingjing went there.

There were only 3,000 people left, but this was also overwhelming for the small South Court of the Ministry of Rites. Gao Yue saw that the walls were lined with thorns and fences. Many officials stood in front of the only entrance and shouted loudly that the Jinshi and imperial examination students would stand in a row. When they called their names, they went forward, and entered the venue in turn with their home documents, just like the high-speed rail ticket check.

So the senators lined up in a mess, Gao Yue stood a little forward, with Liu Deshi in front, behind the Duke of the Mars, and on the left was the arrogant Zheng Zi, always holding his face up, looking like he was bound to be in line with his head, and on the right was a young man with a frown, as if he was full of thoughts.

Gao Yue and the young man looked at each other and smiled at each other. Then the young man bowed gently and introduced himself to Gao Yue, "A junior, Dugu Liangqi."

Oh, this young man’s name is good, it sounds pretty good.

"Zheng, Zheng, is Zheng, is Zheng, is Xingyang Zheng coming?" After a while, the official waved the list of documents and shouted, and shouted a few times. Seeing that no one answered, he was very angry and stretched his neck and shook it left and right, "Is Zheng Zhu coming?"

Gao Yue was so anxious that he stared at the slow-moving master, thinking to himself, "Young Master Zheng, don't take Qiao, don't you know that you are sorry for three generations and arrogant and ruin your whole life!"

"It's me." Finally, Zheng Pei walked to the official and replied clearly.

The official's eyes immediately rose and his anger was full of anger, "Zheng Xi, why are you? Why? Isn't you? Early? Answer!"

After saying that, the official spitted on the ground and pointed to the wooden arm hanging on the gate of the Nanyuan Courtyard, "As usual, except for the admission, the enrollment should not be allowed to take personal books." Then he reached out to search Zheng Zhi's body and prevent him from bringing the "Collection of Policies" from previous years.

Who would have thought that Zheng Zhi was furious and knocked down the clerks of the officials who were leaning over, his voice trembled, "I came to the door, my name must be checked, my identity must be checked, my tableware must be checked, and I am still being checked now. Is this the country's choice of talents? Is it an attitude towards talents?"

"I..." The official couldn't say anything about his suffering, and spread his hands with his neck tilted, meaning that I was just a man who did things according to the rules, so how could such a "school" appear?

"Sir, please continue to investigate and continue to investigate, we can understand." Gao Yue raised his hand and replied.

Zheng Zi glared at Gao Yue fiercely.

At this moment, an official in the silverfish in the breeze came over the fence and sneered at Zheng Zi, "You are all just tribute students now. As for the tribute master and the holy master, you will have to wait to see each other until tonight."

"Indeed - the Holy Lord is seeking wise men, and we are seeking tribute, but how can we make us think we are self-righteous?" Zheng Zi said with a fluttering sleeve.

The official had no words to refute, so he winked at the official, turned around and walked over the gate of the South Courtyard, walked to the gate of the central hall, remembered Zheng Zhi's question just now, looked up at the sky, sneered a few times, and pushed the gate open with all his strength.

As soon as the door opened, the atrium suddenly opened, and the east and west corridors faced each other. At this moment, the sun was rising and the sun was shining all over the ground. On the spring examination in the 12th year of Dali, it was a nice and clear weather.

In the middle of the corridor, the new Minister of Rites Pan Yan sat upright, facing the official through the long courtyard, "Mr. Linghu, the time has come, let the elders go into the east and west corridors to sit down."

The eight hundred Jinshi and imperial examination candidates, including Gao Yue and others, followed the crowd and walked into the heavy gate of the South Courtyard. Then, under the guidance of the officials, they had to go to the two opposite corridors in rows and sit down.
