It is said that the imperial examination system began with the Sui, Xing and Tang, and after the founding of the Taizheng People's Republic of China, it continued to use the imperial examination system, from the Sui to the present more than 400 years, many poor children have studied hard through the guò scientific examination and want to enter the official career by themselves, and the study and excellence have become a fixed model, the emperor through the imperial examination system so as not to choose a grid to descend talents, and those poor and white scholars will also change their fate through the imperial examination. Tang's imperial examination system is a year, and Wu Zetian also created a palace examination, that is, the emperor himself is the chief examiner, and the imperial examination system of Taizheng is very different from Tang, Taizong is a biennial examination, and the proportion of each hire is two-thirds, and then Dezong is changed to a three-year examination, and the recruitment ratio is also two-thirds, Tang's scientific examinations are all in the spring, so Meng Jiao wrote the spring breeze when he was titled on the gold list, and he saw all the Chang'an flowers in one day, and the scientific examination of Taizheng was placed in the autumn, and the details of the scientific examination in the Tang Dynasty were relatively complicated. The Taisho is slightly simplified, but in some places it is also more detailed and perfect, from the lower level to the top of the examination, for example, Xiucai is the first exam, Xiucai is followed by the lifting of people, and then to participate in the provincial examination for the solution of the yuan, generally can go to Kyoto to participate in the study of the Jinshi Department is a talent. Taisho still followed the Tang palace test system, the emperor himself as the chief examiner of the palace examination for the Tang Dynasty is also a lot better, it is from the people who carefully selected seven to participate in the palace examination, the emperor from these seven Jinshi selected the champion.

The imperial examination in the autumn of the second year of Tiansheng is obviously a little late, according to the triennial scientific examination, this Tiansheng should be opened in the first year, but Murong Yichuan's expedition to Bashu has to be postponed again and again. It was said earlier that Murong Yichuan attached great importance to the first scientific examination since his accession to the throne, and the original imperial examination system of Taisho was two-thirds of the proportion of recruitment, while Murong Yichuan adopted Zhongli Wenjun's construction in order to select the best of the best in the original basis to reduce the number of admissions, this year there are 356 people who participated in the imperial examination, and only 40 were finally admitted, these 40 are Jinshi, and the top seven are selected from these 40 Jinshi to participate in the palace examination. Murong Yichuan personally read the papers of these forty jinshi, and then personally selected seven honorable ones.

The temple test is scheduled to be held on September 18 in the Hanyuan Temple.

Murong Yichuan attaches great importance to this palace examination, and a total of ten sets of exam questions were produced before and after, and then they were given to the chief examiner Xiao Yucheng and the deputy chief examiners Zhongli Wenjun and Jia Daishan to help them with the staff, and then called several veterans in the Hanlin Academy and the Guozi Prison to select, Murong Yichuan found that this year's Jinshi has many literary talents, all of them are quick and thoughtful, and the articles are beautiful, and the topics selected by Murong Yichuan in the palace examination articles are also very poetic, and the title is said to be shaken and knows Song Yubei, this is a poem by Du Fu, Tang Ke to write poems, And Taisho Zesheng wrote wordless seven-word poems, mainly articles. Murong Yichuan used the shake to know that Song Yubei's theme is not a wind and snow moon, but a poetic discussion of current affairs, this Song Yuji Qu Yuan after the Chu State celebrities, talent and appearance will never say and like Qu Zi has a passion for the king of his motherland, loyalty, how can the king not be named, and the heart of the monarch is not allowed.

The palace test was completed in one day, and the seven jinshi were led out of the palace by the eunuchs.

Murong Yichuan stayed in the imperial dining room and buried himself in reading the papers, and the seven articles were exquisite, each of which made Murong Yichuan have the urge to applaud.

It was as if he was grinding for Murong Yichuan on the side, and when he saw him with joy on his face from time to time, he knew that it must be the wonder of the article.

Murong Yichuan couldn't stop nodding when he read Jinshi Kou Huai's scroll, and raised his eyebrows, "Wonderful, wonderful."

Kou Huai left a deep impression on Murong Yichuan, he was the first among the forty jinshi before, his articles were written smoothly, quoting scriptures, although the text was chic but not exaggerated, Murong Yichuan looked at his second article as when he first saw it, and he felt extremely amazing.

After reading the volume for a long time, Murong Yichuan felt that his mouth was dry, as if he was busy handing over the tea, "Beloved wife, how do you read this Kou Huai's article?"

Murong Yichuan pointed to the scroll in front of him and wanted to look at it.

It was as if I glanced at the scroll in front of me first, and saw that the scroll was neat and neat, and the words were handsome and neat, "What a beautiful word." It's like a praise.

Murong Yichuan put down the teacup and said, "The words are beautiful, but the articles are even more so."

It seemed that he didn't look down and turned his head to Murong Yichuan, "Except for Wu Zetian, there has never been an example of the harem reading the scholar scroll, I don't dare to trespass, besides, the articles in this examination room have always been closely related to your self-cultivation and Qi family's governance of the country and the world, but it is not the wind and snow that our daughter's family cares about, I am not rare." After saying that, it was as if he had re-filled Murong Yichuan's teacup.

Murong Yichuan drank two cups of tea and felt comfortable, so he pulled Wanruo's hand to the window, the sun was shining outside, the two of them stood side by side, and only the fallen leaves outside the red curtain were quiet in their ears.

Five days later, all the streets of the stable were posted on the emperor's list, this year's new champion is Shanxi Juzi Kou Huai, the second is Kyoto Juzi Ding Guohua, the third is Lin'an Juzi Zhang Chengwen, and then the fourth and fifth all the way to the fortieth place. There are both gentlemen and ordinary people who come to see the list, and those who win are naturally happy, and those who fall into the name of Sun Mountain are naturally extremely depressed.

The champion of the new branch is Kou Huai, for a time he became the object of discussion in the stable and even the whole world, the so-called ten years of cold windows no one asked, once he became famous and known to the world.

The new champion Kou Huai Shanxi Linfen people, born in a cold family, twenty-five years old, is the age of the prime, and now the title of the gold list and the first new champion of the Tiansheng Dynasty, naturally has a bright future, and the career is worry-free.

Two

One night the west wind is like scissors, and I wake up only to see fallen leaves.

Although the weather is still fine, but looking at the yellow leaves all over the ground, it seems that there is still unstoppable sadness, which has nothing to do with their own situation, and this sadness is only related to the deep autumn fall.

Zi Yan took Xiao Yuwan into the palace to greet the Empress Dowager Xiao, and came to accompany Wanruo by the way. [,！ Now that Xiao Yuwan is outside the palace for almost ten months, she has begun to babble like Yunkai and can walk a few steps alone. It was as if he held Xiao Yuwan tightly in his arms, first kissing her pink face, and then her soft hair, as if he wanted to melt the little girl into his bones. Zi Yan peeled the sunflower seeds and put them into Xiao Yuwan's mouth, "I haven't seen comfort for a few days and grown up a little more." Although she was reluctant, she still let go of her daughter and let her play with Xiao Yunkai, the little brother and sister rarely meet, as long as they meet, they kiss very much, Xiangling takes care of the two of them on the side.

Zi Yan said with a smile; "Watching Wan'er grow up, I feel like I'm getting older."

It's like looking at Ziyan Dao, which is still infinitely gorgeous; "You say I'm old, then I'm not an old woman."

Zi Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister-in-law has been radiant these days, I guess it must be because of the good relationship with the imperial brother."

It was like a shy voice with low eyebrows; "It's good to say that this is very much, come in and your imperial brother is busy with the scientific examination, I am only accompanying him in the imperial dining room, and I don't dare to say much about the affairs of the court, and now that the imperial list has been posted, it should be lively for a few days because of this new department."

Hearing the four characters of the new champion Zi Yan unconsciously remembered that when Zhongli Wen Jun was the champion, she was also in the crowd to watch him ride a horse and straddle the pipe, and still vaguely remember the demeanor of Wen Jun in a red champion robe sitting on a horse, the kind of scolding Fang Xuan and pointing the country is unrivaled in Zi Yan's heart, even now her husband in her heart is still perfect.

Seeing that Zi Yan's eyes were filled with the past, she was just trying to restrain herself, after all, in the hearts of Zi Yan and Murong Yichuan and others, she was amnesiac, and she should forget all the things that Wen Jun had back then.

It was as if they were just quietly opposite Zi Yan, and they were silent with each other for a while before Zi Yan said; "I heard that this year's new champion is only twenty-five years old, and when Wen Jun was the champion, it was like, I heard Wen Jun say that the new champion is a talent, talented, and the Jinshi and the palace examination are the first place, I don't know if I have married." Facing Zi Yan's curiosity, he smiled; "Your royal brother is quite satisfied with this new champion, in a few days the new champion should face the king, I heard that his family is poor, but according to common sense, this twenty-five year old should have started a family, and our princess Ziyan has already been a horse, this good thing for Fengtai to choose a son-in-law The new champion is not the turn." Seeing that she was joking with herself, Zi Yan elbowed the other party and said shamefully; "Sister-in-law will ignore you if she makes fun of others again."

Zi Yan's shy touch was like a blooming red lotus, and she couldn't put it down when she looked at it, as if she reached out and caressed Zi Yan's shy face and said softly; "It's really strange that our Zi Yan is becoming more and more shy, it's a shame that I'm a woman, if a man sees you so shy and charming, he should go to court if he has a wife in the family." Seeing that she was still joking with herself, Zi Yan laughed and beat her, "Sister-in-law loves to bully people, I'll sue Brother Sù in a while."

The talk and laughter between the sister-in-law swept away the loss that seemed to be covered in their hearts.

After dinner, Murong Yichuan dealt with a few tricky pieces, read the book for a while, felt a little tired, and simply walked out of the imperial dining room. Now it is the end of September, there is no bright moon in sight, only the sky is full of stars, and the west wind is howling, blowing on people's faces and feeling cool.

The eunuch Dequan asked diligently; "The emperor is in charge of Zhaoyang Palace?"

Murong Yichuan looked at the stars, and said in a deep voice; "Let's go to Jingyuan Palace first."

Recently, Murong Yichuan Qin and the court have paid little attention to Cao Pan's second noble concubine, because Pan Saihua is pregnant, he will have time to send the eunuch Dequan to send some good things to Jingyuan Palace, I haven't seen Pan for almost half a month, and I can't help but worry about it.

The news of Murong Yichuan's arrival at Jingyuan Palace was delivered in advance, and Pan Saihua carefully dressed up and led a group of palace eunuchs to pick up at the palace gate.

"The concubines participate in the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." The Pan family is still radiant and charming, Murong Yichuan lovingly picked her up from the ground, and then ordered everyone to be flat.

When the two of them arrived in the palace, the palace maids were busy serving tea, and Murong Yichuan carefully looked at the Pan family and saw that her face was still relieved, "The emperor hasn't been to Jingyuan Palace for a long time, and the concubines still think that the emperor doesn't want our mother and son." Pan's coquettish resentment.

Murong Yichuan soothed; "I came in and was busy with government affairs, so I snubbed you, your body seems to be a little heavier, and you will change to live and raise in the future, don't work too hard." After all, all Murong Yichuan cared about was Pan's bulging lower abdomen.

The Pan clan looked down at his lower abdomen and said softly; "The concubines will be good at giving birth to and raising a baby, if only the emperor could come often."

In the face of Pan's expectations, Murong Yichuan had to say perfunctorily; "I'll come to see you often."

"Although the emperor is busy with government affairs, he still goes to Zhaoyang Palace every day, and the concubines are really envious of the queen." Pan snuggled in Murong Yichuan's arms and said coquettishly, a pair of peach blossom eyes full of jealousy overflowing from the bottom of his heart.

Murong Yichuan caressed Pan's delicate face lovingly and said in a deep voice; "You don't like jealous women, the queen and I have no one to match. Saihua, if you want to be favored by me, don't be jealous of the queen, if you have nothing to do, you can read and write more, and you are also from the Jiangmen Cao Gui Concubine is extraordinarily virtuous." Although Murong Yichuan was dissatisfied with Pan's jealousy, he still endured it despite being pregnant.

Pan said seriously while playing with the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant on Murong Yichuan's waist; "The concubine only knows that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and the concubine doesn't want to be a concubine like Shangguan Wan'er, the concubine just wants to be beautiful for the emperor." The last words of the Pan family made Murong Yichuan stunned, bowed his head and kissed the other party's forehead and said approvingly; "For my beauty is as beautiful as a flower, so good, the hour is not early, and you should sleep in peace, and I will stay soon." After that, Murong Yichuan pushed Pan away.

Pan was unwilling to want Murong Yichuan to leave like this, so he held his hand and begged; "The emperor hasn't stayed in the palace of the concubine for a long time, let's stay tonight, the imperial doctor said that the concubine's fetus is stable, in this case, the concubine can serve the emperor."

Despite the fact that Pan Shi Ru. [,！ However, Murong Yichuan still pushed her away sensibly, "After you give birth, there will be many opportunities to serve me."

Although Murong Yichuan also longed to stay and be happy with the Pan family, he valued his heirs more than Fengyue.

Pan was still a little unwilling, "The concubine heard that the queen was pregnant back then, and the emperor was with her every night."

Hearing this, Murong Yichuan's face sank, "You are not qualified to compare with the queen, so you can cherish it, and I will come to see you another day."

As soon as the words fell, Murong Yichuan brushed his sleeves away no matter how disappointed Pan was.

Walking out of Jingyuan Palace, the eunuch Dequan asked cautiously. The emperor is going to Zhaoyang Palace?"

Murong Yichuan answered and got on the dragon chariot.

The Sun Moon Xuan is still brightly lit, as if sitting with a book in hand and reading it casually under the window.

Murong Yichuan always likes to look silently on the side as if he was quietly reading a book, and that kind of quiet concentration requires him to focus on it quietly, so he never gets tired of reading it to her a thousand times.
