The guards still have a salary at night, which means that they can receive double wages every day, which is a good thing for them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Guarding the safety of the house at night is just a gesture: "Miss Liu, don't worry, I will do it well." After the initial excitement, the boy patted his chest and reassured.

And Liu Qingxi didn't know at this time that his decision at this time actually solved a huge trouble for himself later.

Yang Yichen, who was far away in the capital, was also in dire straits, although he rejected waves of invitees, but the number of people staring at him did not decrease at all.

Half a month later, the palace examination was officially held, and Emperor Dugu Khan personally presided over the question.

On this day, the guards in the palace were extremely strict, and the fifty students who were fortunate enough to participate in the palace examination arrived at the palace gate before dawn, all of them were neatly dressed, full of energy, and stood at the palace gate with their backs straight.

The guards at the gate of the palace were wearing black armor, standing still and standing at the gate of the palace, holding spears in their hands, their eyes were awe-inspiring, and they were looking straight ahead.

Time passed minute by minute, and they were more familiar with each other's learning and greeting each other.

It's just that no one knows the dark tide in the heart, after all, what can stand here today is a competitive relationship, and the advancement of one person's ranking means the retreat of another.

Therefore, they secretly compete with each other, and everyone has the last laugh.

There were fifty candidates, all of whom were familiar with each other, except for one of them, a slightly immature face.

The young man's angular face has not taken off the immaturity, but the firmness in his eyes, the vicissitudes of the world do not seem to be fake, he sees the faces of these people in front of him, these vainness and grievances are just superficial efforts.

As the minutes passed, with a dull sound, the heavy door opened with a humming sound, and entered into a long marble road that seemed to have no end in sight, leading to the majestic hall.

This is the front court, the place where the ministers go to court, the road is lined with wide squares, and the palace walls are planted with precious flowers and plants on both sides, and the design of the square is to open the line of the palace wall to facilitate the observation of abnormalities.

After walking through a long road that was bright and visible, he came to the top of a three-story hall, climbed the steps, walked in front of the guards, and finally came to this majestic building.

This is the Jinluan Palace, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry in the upper volume, and the guards are intently guarding around the Jinluan Palace

Looking at this building, all of them reveal exquisiteness, above the eaves, under the blue glazed tiles, there are two layers of rafters of exactly the same size, and the round wooden pillars under the vermilion rafters are carved with delicate and complex patterns.

Around the Jinluan Palace, the use of every brick and tile is the most exquisite, the gate is made of wood, the vermilion carries the weight of history, the dignified atmosphere of the country, and it is a symbol of a country.

Fifty candidates looked down at the ground one after another, not daring to look around, for fear that one of them would not make a move in place and provoke the ninety-five lord in the hall.

Following the footsteps of the eunuchs who led the way, they lined up in two teams and slowly entered the hall, and the resplendent that greeted them made people impressed from the bottom of their hearts and sighed at their domineering.

The throne on the top, made of pure gold and carved with a mighty dragon pattern, is a symbol of the supreme ruler and holds the life and death of thousands of people.

And today, it is this Ninety-Five Venerable who decides their fate.

At this time, Emperor Dugu Khan had not yet arrived, relatively speaking, the candidates were not as nervous as they imagined, and the corner of their eyes swept around the Jinluan Hall that they had dreamed of seeing.

The place where they were standing was three meters away from that seat, and at a glance, the domineering spirit of the person sitting on it made their hearts tremble.

On both sides there were two columns of guards and eunuchs, and behind them hung bright yellow curtains, and the pillars used to support the structure of the house in front of them all mentioned the words "Guotai and the people's security, prosperity" and so on.

A quarter of an hour later, with the eunuch's shrill voice: "The emperor has arrived!" "The long tail sound penetrates people's eardrums, and it's very harsh.

But they didn't care about this, they hurriedly knelt on their knees, their arms pressed to the ground, and their heads slammed on the ground: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The sound of uniformity resounded throughout the hall, and due to the high height of the hall and the large area of the hall, there was a shallow echo.

Seeing the Jinluan Hall for the first time, the candidates' mood was excited and difficult to calm down.

"Everyone loves Qing's body!" A neutral voice resounded through the hall.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The minister and the fifty candidates present slowly stood up and stood in line.

At this time, some of the more daring candidates raised their heads slightly, only to see a man in a bright yellow dragon robe sitting on the top of the dragon chair at the top, without a trace of wrinkles on his face, and a person in his fifties looked like he was in his thirties.

"Today's main candidates are all the pillars of my Xiyue, the construction of my Xiyue, and the strong national strength will depend on you in the future, especially the younger generation, you are more energetic and hopeful."

"I want you to do your best to serve me, and of course, I won't do you any wrong."

Dugu Khan said a little about the scene, and then entered the formal palace examination link: "Okay, now the TV has officially started, there is a separate table prepared for you next to it, each of you can answer the questions independently, the questions are on the test papers that will be sent to you later, the time is half an hour, start now!" ”

These questions are all questions about current affairs and politics formulated by the emperor according to the current situation, and one of the questions is one, which one of them you draw, but it is unlikely that two people next to each other will draw the same question.

Yang Yichen, as the first place in the examination, was assigned to the front and middle position, which happened to be the closest to the emperor, and he got the test paper, and the above question was very simple, on today's military strength.

It is simple to seven words, it seems simple, but it is actually very difficult, the development of Xiyue Kingdom has been more than 200 years old, and it is not uncommon to face the number of invasions of foreign enemies every year.

This is also the reason why although the Xiyue Kingdom has developed for decades, it has not been fast.

The manpower, material and financial resources consumed to resist foreign enemies every year are enough to spend more than half of the country's inventory silver, which is also the goal that the emperors of the Xiyue Kingdom are most worried about and have fought for all their lives.

That is to solve the invasion of foreign enemies once and for all, improve the country's military strength, so that the enemy does not dare to attack easily, and absolutely overwhelm the other party in momentum.

Not to mention that as the emperor of the country, even as an ordinary man, he has such an idea, just like competition with his neighbors, what ordinary people think of must be a loud slap in the face to each other, so that they are out of reach.

Yang Yichen talked about the matter, combined with the people of Li and the war that happened this year, found the right entry point, named the most critical issues in a simple and clear way, and emphasized the importance of weapons.
