Chapter 321: The Hour Has Come
At the same time, a powerful momentum unconsciously emanated from Prince Li's body, which was different from the dragon power of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai.
If it is said that the dragon power of the saint Lin Mubai is the most rigid and yang.
Then, Prince Li's momentum is the most majestic and thick, that is the thickness of accumulation, and it is the transcendent momentum that exudes after decades of precipitation.
It is hard to imagine that a rickety body has such a great strength and momentum.
Even the Holy Lord Lin Mubai, at close range, still changed his expression slightly, looking at his imperial uncle, the light in his eyes became extremely bright.
When the first emperor was alive, there were nine brothers in total.
When the first emperor died, there was only one person left, and this person was the current Prince Li, a person who once commanded the three armies and established supreme merit for the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Uncle Huang, have you already ......" Saint Lin Mubai's face was full of expectation, and his eyes when he looked at Prince Li showed a strong sense of respect.
As a generation of emperors.
It was supposed to eliminate all existences that threatened the throne.
But he didn't do that, and he didn't even have a trace of such an idea, for the simple reason that the person standing in front of him was Prince Li.
A Prince Li who gave up the throne to the first emperor.
"I have touched the threshold, but there is still one chance left...... "After Prince Li finished speaking, the momentum on his body also changed in vain, his eyes became cloudy again, and his voice was full of hoarseness.
"Do you need your nephew's help?" Saint Lin Mubai did not call himself a nephew this time, but called himself a nephew, and looked at Prince Li's gaze with the same expression of a junior treating an elder.
"No need for the time being, the emperor wants the old minister to come over today, it should be for these three strategies, right?" Prince Li shook his head, and then handed the three exam papers in his hand back to the hands of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai.
"Yes, I don't know what Uncle Huang thinks?"
"The first article is a good work, and the argument is well-founded. And the thinking is rigorous, the situation is analyzed thoroughly, if there is no last two, it should be the top of the list!" Prince Li said directly.
"Uncle Huang's thoughts are the same as those of his nephew, but these last two articles are ......," Saint Lin Mubai said while looking at the last two articles in his hand, a little embarrassed.
"Not equal. ”
"Uncle Huang thinks so too?"
"Yes. ”
"Actually, this is also the dilemma of my nephew, but there is only one name for the palace examination, and after all, it is necessary to choose a distinction between upper and lower. ”
"To score up and down. It is only about the hobby of the person who examines the text, and has nothing to do with the policy itself, this second article can be described as a pearl of words, from the beginning to the end, every word, every sentence, is almost perfect, majestic. Even the old minister may not be able to change the slightest. ”
"What Uncle Huang said is exactly what my nephew feels in his heart!"
And this third article, although it is also brilliant from the beginning, is a little different from the second article, but. The essence of this article lies in the last paragraph, especially from the story of 'the world is great, and from the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, it is under the Six Kingdoms again. After that. It is the finishing touch, and if you read the previous article carefully, it is like an initiation. It gives people a sense of enlightenment!" Prince Li continued.
"Then according to Uncle Huang's intentions, how should these two articles be discussed?"
"Lao Chen has just said that there is no distinction between the top and bottom of these two policy papers, if you want to force the score, Lao Chen said truthfully, the joy of Lao Chen lies in the third article, however, Lao Chen guessed that the emperor's joy should be biased towards the second article. Prince Li thought about it, and finally replied.
"Uncle Huang used to deliberately avoid suspicion when he encountered such a problem as his nephew, but today he can tell the truth, I don't know what the reason is?" asked the Holy Lord Lin Mubai.
"Hehe, the emperor reviewed the test papers in the Zhaoxuan Palace, and summoned the old ministers to the Zhaoxuan Palace for questioning, isn't it just asking for a public word? ”
"Understood, thank you Uncle Huang!"
"The old minister retired. ”
"Uncle Huang......"
"The emperor still has something to ask the minister?"
"If Uncle Huang can cross that threshold, can my nephew ask Uncle Huang for something?"
"What you said...... Hard. Prince Li's gaze looked at the Holy Lord Lin Mubai, and then, his cloudy eyes moved slightly, and he shook his head gently.
"Even if the imperial uncle crosses that threshold, can't he do it?" Saint Lin Mubai's eyes were full of disappointment, this emotion should not have appeared in the eyes of an emperor.
But at this moment, it just appeared, and it was very real and intense.
"I don't know. Prince Li shook his head again.
"My nephew hasn't seen 'Yu'er' for ten years, five months and twenty-three days! Uncle Huang! Since Pingyang was three and a half years old, she has been gone, ten years, the ten-year covenant she said when she left, but now it has been five months and twenty-three days......" Saint Lin Mubai's expression changed significantly at this moment, and a trace of extreme pain flashed in his eyes.
"It's been so long, but since your choice is the throne, you should be mentally prepared for this. Prince Li sighed leisurely.
"My nephew knows, but ......"
"The old minister must do his best!"
"Thank you, Uncle Huang!"
"The old minister retired. ”
......
The civil and military officials outside the Zhaoxuan Hall looked at the open palace door, and the Prince of Li who slowly walked out of the hall, with great doubts on their faces.
Today is the day of the palace examination, and it is surprising that Prince Li is here.
However, now that Prince Li has come out like this, it is even more surprising, because, according to the usual practice, the Holy Lord Lin Mubai will definitely personally send Prince Li out of the palace gate.
Can ...... now
There was not a trace of movement in the Zhaoxuan Palace.
Prince Li walked into the Zhaoxuan Hall alone, and then, he walked out alone, just like there was no one in the Zhaoxuan Palace.
The talented men who were waiting to listen to the announcement in the distance were also surprised.
What surprised them was why Prince Li came out again? Is the matter over? What is Prince Li talking about, and will it have anything to do with the palace examination?
Or......
Is it about something else?
Questions flashed through their minds, but the answers were not.
Wu Feng was very eager to see some information from Prince Li's expression or eyes, but he was very disappointed, because. Prince Li's expression was too calm.
It's so calm that there's not a trace of turbulence at all.
As for the eyes.
There was only a piece of turbidity there, and Wu Feng's heart was respectful of Prince Li, but in addition to respect, there were some not very subtle doubts.
"The master told me not to be disrespectful to Prince Li, but the master is one of the four saints, even if he sits with the emperor, he sits together on an equal footing, why should he explain to Prince Li alone? Could it be that Prince Li is also a saint? But it's unlikely, right? One pavilion, four saints, thirteen mansions. It means that there are only four saints in the world, and Prince Li has been famous for so many years, if he steps into the realm of saints, it is impossible not to be among the saints, right?"
Wu Feng couldn't quite understand it, but he still bowed down extremely respectfully.
Prince Li left, walking very slowly, slowly passing through the civil and military officials, and slowly passing through the talents, and then. Walk slowly towards the main entrance of the palace.
And at the moment when Prince Li left everyone's sight, the sound of bells and drums also rang.
"Knock ......"
The voice was extremely long, echoing throughout the palace.
When all the civil and military officials and all the talented people heard the sound of this bell and drum, their eyes lit up. His expression became visibly excited.
Because this is the voice of the Admiralty.
And there is only one reason for the sound of the golden bell to ring at this time, that is, the time for the announcement has arrived.
Wu Feng's body trembled slightly, which was caused by extremely excited emotions. Nangong Hao didn't get the holy edict, Fang Zhengzhi also didn't get the holy edict, and Yan Xiu didn't either!
"There are no three of them!"
Such news. How not to excite the witch wind?
When Wu Feng came to participate in the palace examination, he naturally came with the purpose of winning the top of the double list of the palace examination, and in fact, he also firmly believed that he had such strength.
But......
When he heard that Nangong Hao was going to take the palace exam, his strong self-confidence faced a challenge for the first time.
So, he challenged Qin Yan, who was ranked third in the Shenglong List, for no other purpose, he just wanted to build up his confidence.
He wanted to know the gap between his efforts in the past few years and Nangong Hao.
As a result, easily beaten.
This made his confidence come back a little, but during the literary examination, he met Nangong Hao four years later and saw a real genius.
His light was so dazzling that Wu Feng couldn't even open his eyes.
So, the self-confidence he ignited fell back to the bottom again.
Even he was mentally prepared, if he couldn't get the first, he would take the second, the second...... It is said that Nangong Hao has been the second on the Shenglong list for so long.
It's not too much to be once in a while, right?
Moreover, losing to Nangong Hao is not too embarrassing.
But today, he heard another news, Nangong Hao did not receive the holy edict, which means that he will fall out of the top ten on the literary list.
How to fight with yourself?
Defeat Nangong Hao......
I actually defeated Nangong Hao!
How not to get excited, how not to get excited!
Wu Feng's gaze subconsciously looked at Nangong Hao, but found that Nangong Hao's expression was still as calm as before, as if nothing could attract his attention.
"Hmph...... Pretend!" Wu Feng snorted lightly, thinking that when the list was announced, he would see if you could be as calm as you are now.
Just as he was thinking like this, the door of the Zhaoxuan Hall was finally fully opened, and wisps of light smoke were blown out by the autumn wind from the entrance of the hall and drifted into the air.
Then, Lin Mubai, who was wearing a golden dragon robe, also slowly walked out of the palace door, and in his hand, he was still holding a roll of golden silk.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
The civil and military officials fell to their knees completely at this moment, and they all slammed their heads on the ground.
And all the talented people also knelt down from a distance one by one, and one by one they were like civil and military officials, shouting long live the emperor and the like.
"Flat. Saint Lin Mubai raised his hands slightly.
So the civil and military officials and talented people all got up together.
Next, several people dressed in palace costumes lifted a huge dragon chair behind the saint Lin Mubai, and immediately held up a huge golden bone yellow umbrella.
The saint Lin Mubai slowly sat down, looked at the civil and military officials and then looked at the talents not far away, and after sweeping a circle, he swept another circle, and then swept another circle......
Then, his face was a little unpleasant.
The reason is very simple, because he found that there seemed to be one person missing, but Lin Mubai, the saint, would not say this, nor would he ask about it.
So, he looked at Zuo Xiangyu Yiping.
Zuo Xiangyu Yiping looked at the gaze cast by the saint, and quickly speculated in his heart about the holy will, what is the meaning of looking at it at this time?
Because Fang Zhengcheng was not present?
It should be unlikely, I heard that Fang Zhengzhi didn't even receive the holy edict, that is to say, he didn't even enter the top ten on the literary list, so it is not very likely that the saint will pay attention to Fang Zhengzhi as soon as he comes out.
So......
It's simple.
This is to declare it on your behalf.
The previous palace examination announcements were all announced by the imperial envoy of the Imperial Academy, but now the imperial envoy of the Imperial Academy is waiting in the prison.
Although he didn't die for the time being, it was almost a matter of time.
As for Su Qing, who is now in charge of the duties of the imperial envoy.
However, as a fourth-grade official, and only acting on behalf of the official, there is too much gap between the prestige and status of the court, and it is naturally not suitable for such an important palace test.
He is the head of the hundred officials, and when he is the chief of the court, it is natural for him to announce the list on his behalf at this time, and it can also reflect the degree of importance that the saint attaches to the temple test.
When he thought about it, it became clear to him.
quickly walked out of the queue, and then, with a respectful face, walked in front of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai, bowed slightly, stretched out his hands, and prepared to take over the imperial list in the hands of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai.
Saint Lin Mubai was completely stunned by Zuo Xiangyu Yiping's strange move at this moment, and he didn't react at once, what did Zuo Xiangyu Yiping suddenly do with such a pose in front of him.
What is this Yu Xiang doing?
I was just about to speak, and I realized it in my heart.
Yu Xiang is going to receive the decree and announce it on behalf of me?
The saint Lin Mubai does have the intention of letting the courtiers announce the announcement on his behalf, but the intention is intentional, and this kind of active snatching is completely different meanings.
Now there is no overseer in the Imperial Academy, which is indeed a problem.
However, there are six more!
And the right minister! And the prince!
Shengshang Lin Mubai's eyes changed, and he looked seriously at Zuo Xiangyu Yiping, who stretched out his hands in front of him with a respectful face, and finally handed over the silk cotton in his hand.
Zuo Xiangyu Yiping took the silk cotton, and his heart was also inexplicably excited.
Although it is only a small matter, it means that the saint has the heart to let him handle the affairs of the Imperial Academy on his behalf, which is a very good message.
The Imperial Academy, in charge of the biennial Taoist examination, seems to have little effect, but it is a gathering place for talented people from all over the world, and such an important position must be firmly held in their hands again.
When the mood is good, the face is natural and bathing in the spring breeze.
"Ahem!" Zuo Xiangyu Yiping coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and prepared to announce. (To be continued.) )
