Chapter 17: The Emperor

"Why are you so careless, you have to leave a scar after burning your hand. Pei Jinzhi frowned, looking at the pig's trotters that were wrapped in a snow-white ball, and there was a little more blame between his words.

After hearing this, Rong Xia blushed his whole little face, feeling that he was really useless.

Three days ago, the results of the examination were released, Pei Jinzhi was the top of the high school list Huiyuan, when the news came, Rong Xia was boiling water, and when the person was excited, his hands shook, and he was burned o(╯□╰)o.

With his little head lowered and quickly hid the pig's trotters behind him, Rong Xia whispered, "I'm sorry." ”

Because of his own hand injury, he hasn't cooked for him for a few days.

But then again. Pei Jinzhi didn't have time to come back to eat Rong Xia to cook now, he was almost too busy with his feet to touch the ground, so he didn't find out that his little maid's hand was injured until now.

"It's you who hurt your hand, what kind of apologies to me. Said so, but Pei Jinzhi's expression still looked very displeased.

Rong Xia puffed out his cheeks and felt that he should change the topic.

"Young Master, tomorrow is the palace test, right?" she said cautiously.

Pei Jinzhi gave a faint sigh of gratitude.

"Can the young master meet the emperor?" In Rong Xia's barren experience, the only emperor she "knew" was the handsome and messy Qiu Guan in "Joking about Qianlong", that was Rong Xia's idol, every time she saw him handsome and dashing on TV, Rong Xia was excited.

So in her opinion, all emperors should be like Zheng Shaoqiu, who is handsome, has good martial arts, and is simply the most perfect person in the world.

"En!" Pei Jinzhi responded.

"It's so good, the young master can see the emperor!" The envy on Rong Xia's face was very obvious.

"Ah Xia is curious about His Majesty the Emperor?"

So, Rong Xia carefully studied his beautiful guess about His Majesty the Emperor in a very dreamy tone.

Pei Jinzhi smiled, the kind of laughter, and his whole shoulders shook when he laughed.

Rong Xia pursed her lips, and dissatisfaction appeared on her face.

Why laugh, what's so funny!

"Huh...... The current emperor is not confused, and he does not spread the world by his appearance, where did you hear that he is handsome and dashing, unruly, and martial arts?"

Pei Jinzhi felt that his little maid's brain hole was really too big.

Rong Xia's little face turned red in an instant, and it really shouldn't have been said?

really didn't have the face to stay any longer, Rong Xia twisted his little body, lifted the door curtain and ran out with a grunt.

Only Pei Ershao, who was poked into laughter, was left in the room, hehehe...... laughed non-stop.

The four joys of life: a long drought and a rainy day, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land, spending candles in the cave room, and the title of the gold list.

The title of the gold list - the expectation of many students in their lives. Compared with the many students who failed to make the list, the three hundred and sixty-six people standing outside the Shenwu Gate at this time are undoubtedly the darlings of God and the envy of everyone.

In the forbidden palace, everyone didn't dare to make a mistake, and they all stood there quietly. Pei Jinzhi stood in the first place because he was the current branch of the Yuan, behind him was Zhou Guangping, who was born in Huai'an, and the ranking was the second in this department, and then Chen Yan from Shaoxing, and then a hundred or so back, the figure of Bai Shanwen was also impressive, and he was also admitted.

In the early morning, the temperature drops sharply, and when the cold wind blows, people will shiver. However, none of the people in the second field complained, or made any actions to avoid the wind, and they all stood there with solemn faces, as if the straighter the waist was, the more resistant to frost in the cold wind, in order to show their respect for the emperor.

I don't know how long it took, but finally someone from the Hanlin Academy came to pick them up, and they just listened to him: "Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me." The three hundred people consciously turned into two rows, and walked forward step by step. Entering the Shenwu Gate, passing by the Chongwen Pavilion, passing through the Baohua Palace, everyone finally arrived at the destination of the trip - Qianyuan Palace.

The Qianyuan Hall is named after the heaven and earth, it is the place where the emperor ascends to the dynasty and discusses state affairs with the ministers, and it is the center where the Darui Dynasty can operate normally......

Thinking like this, the eyes of the students were unexpectedly hot again.

More than 300 people, naturally it is impossible for all of them to enter the Qianyuan Palace, and only the first 25 people entered the hall.

Pei Jinzhi, as the Jinke Huiyuan, should stand in the closest place to the golden dragon chair above.

I don't know how long I waited, but finally ushered in the voice: "The emperor has arrived-"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. "Long live the crowd, with humility and fanaticism that even they themselves have not noticed.

"Flat. Emperor Cheng Xi looked at the young students standing below and said in a very good mood. This wonderful taste of the world's talents under my control is indeed very intoxicating.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, and there were three pavilion elders standing at the bottom of the cloud steps, namely Qiao Ge Lao, Gong Ge Lao and Wang Ge Lao, among them, because Qiao Ge Lao was the main examiner of the current subject appointed by the saint, he was in a standing position slightly ahead of the other two pavilion elders half a step, in addition, the eighteen marking officers of the current section were also divided at the two ends.

There is another person who stands out from the rest.

I saw that he was about twenty years old, wearing a bright yellow dragon suit, but the embroidery on his chest was not a golden dragon, but a black dragon with one less claw, his eyes were not too big, but he was a double chin, and there was a lot of meat on his face, which looked fat, but his temperament was very gentle, and he looked very easy to get along with.

This person is the current prince, Zhao He.

Zhao He saw Pei Jinzhi standing in front of him at a glance.

If you want to say that a good-looking person is in some ways to take advantage, even if the two were just a one-sided relationship many years ago, it still makes the prince remember the young man who looks cold, smart and proud, otherwise, you have a different face and think that he is talented, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who has a lot of opportunities, can't remember the face.

Pei Jinzhi's face was respectful, his head was half-hung down, and the expression on his face did not show any nervousness at all, giving people a sense of light and tranquility for no reason.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded with satisfaction, and his impression of Pei Jinzhi was much better.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Qiao Ge Lao stepped forward, showed the edict in his hand, and began to read it, the content of the edict was cumbersome, first praised the benevolence of the Son of Heaven, and made great efforts, and then encouraged all the students to go further, to work hard, to serve the court, and after reading it, Qiao Ge Lao seemed to be a little out of breath.

"The emperor gave the throne and all the tributes—"

All the students thanked them in unison, and sat down at the table.

In the silence, the snow-white roll paper was distributed.

The final palace test is finally about to begin.

Zhou Guangping was born in a poor family, his biological father died early, all he learned was dependent on his mother to open a grocery store, making money for his reading, fortunately, Zhou Guangping is indeed a seed of reading, since Kaimeng went to school, every time in many classmates are the leading deposits, in the long run, Zhou Guangping's temperament is a little proud, and because he is not from a good background, he is especially unaccustomed to those candidates who come out of rich and powerful families, thinking that they are all a group of wine bags and rice bags, only relying on the ancestors to survive and steal the moth.

And yet—

Zhou Guangping raised his head and looked at the cyan back half a step away in front of him.

This way of scientific examination, he can be said to be the first, the first child test, the first township test, if there is another test first, that is the world's rare three yuan and the first, if the palace test is favored by the son of heaven, point him as the champion, that is the beginning of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the first, the fourth son Dengke.

His name Zhou Guangping will immediately go down in history and be admired by students all over the world.

However, this qiē is now impossible, he will try to get a second, and the name of the first is obtained by the children of Houmen who he has always disdained.

Zhou Guangping felt like a devil in his heart, and his jealousy made him scratch his heart and liver, and he insisted that it must be this moth who used some means to get into the stream, otherwise, how could he lose to others with his own talents. A touch of red blood stained his eyes, Zhou Guangping took a deep breath, and made up his mind that this palace test must definitely overpower this person, so that the emperor can see with his own eyes who is the real talented person and the pillar of the country.

When the paper was opened, unexpectedly, the questions in this exam were neither scripture nor strategy, but only two words - ambition.

Pei Jinzhi's face was indifferent, but his brows jumped slightly.

Distance: Distance, the meaning of the future.

Zhi: Ambition, the meaning of ambition.

The emperor is asking, what are their aspirations in the future!

This question seems to be easy to answer, but when you think about it, it is extremely difficult to answer.

Students all over the world have studied hard for ten years, and they have no regrets, for what is it, to say that it sounds good is for the sake of governing the country and leveling the world. To put it mildly, it is nothing more than to become an official, to become a person who is above those who hold power.

The emperor came up with the question - Yuanzhi.

The ten of the students will write: for the people of the world a certain blessing Yunyun, for the court loyalty to Yunyun and other content, or if you want to be unique, you will probably write that I do not admire the fame, do not stain the turbidity, just hope that one day write a book and a biography, become a great sage of the literary family, and set an example for thousands of students in the world. If the writing is good, maybe you will write a powerful and touching article. However, is this really what the emperor wants to see?

The Great Rui Dynasty has been established for only two generations.

A few decades ago, the Central Plains was full of wolf smoke, the heroes cut the land, and some foreign jackals took advantage of the fire to rob and implement the strategy of destroying China. As a result, the population of the Central Plains has also been greatly reduced, and a village is often ten rooms and nine empty, which can be said to be full of floating slaughter. □□After more than 20 years of perseverance, Da Rui really regained some vitality, and looking at the governance philosophy of the current saint after ascending the throne, we can know that this is an emperor who is extremely concerned about the people's livelihood.
