13Chapter 13: The Palace Examination (1)

The other looked a little old. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info's clothes and face are obviously well-groomed, after all, today can be described as a big day in his life, but his rough and dark face, slightly rickety body, and obviously fat and ill-fitting robes make him "stand out" among the three.

Li Yan had already heard of these three people, and through the secret servants, he knew very well the details of each of them.

Chen Muxin, a young man with a good temperament, is also a distant relative of Chen Liyan, one of the three elders of the cabinet.

And the other one who looks extraordinarily polite is Luo Qinyi, a scholar from the Luo family.

And the last one is Sun Yousheng, who looks inconspicuous but is very eye-catching. Born in an ordinary background, his ancestors were all farmers, and it is said that he had a serious illness, and he only got better last year, but this delay actually made him thirty and five

。 It seems that the disease is indeed serious, and Sun Yousheng definitely looks over forty.

However, I heard that all three of them are very talented.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live......"

"Zhong Aiqing is flat." Li Yan continued, "The imperial examination is really to select a large number of talents for my Great Qin, but this year I want to change the way. ”

Anyway, I don't know how many officials in the hall are trembling in their legs and stomachs, what whims do you have, Your Majesty?

"I don't test classics, I don't test poetry books, I only test current affairs. For the sake of fairness, the candidates for the temple examination will enter the temple one by one to answer the questions, and I will ask you the same questions. ”

Again, the first to answer the question was Chen Muxin.

After he finished saluting, Li Di directly gave a method: "The main test questions in this test are current affairs. Not long ago, the floods in Qingju County were flooding and the people were displaced, Chen Muxin, what good countermeasures do you have? I will limit you to a pillar of incense. The other Aiqing must write down his opinions on paper before he answers the questions, and there are many rewards for answering well; If the answer is poor, half of the annual salary will be deducted. ”

As soon as this remark came out, there was a sigh, but it was a pity that the boss was on top, and everyone did not dare to be angry or speak.

When the hundred officials just entered the hall one by one, they saw a row of low desks placed near the corner of the wall, and each desk had a full set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Like some civil officials, the three major cabinet elders Chen Gong, Zhao Lao, and Ji Fu do not have to worry, but some military attachés are miserable, although they are not so illiterate as to know a single big character, they are far from the point of becoming a chapter and thinking about it.

So at the moment, there were a few civil officials who took the lead and looked left and right. Li Tong couldn't do too much, so he had to turn a blind eye.

Sha Yongzhong relied on his body and almost squeezed the five-short civil official Duan Xilin out of the seat. Poor Duan Xilin dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, staring at him with a bitter face.

The hall was silent, and everyone was serious on the surface, but in private small actions were constant.

Sha Yongzhong never knew what it meant to be excessive, and who could beat him in a ruthless fight. He also lowered his face and stared back, and Duan Xilin lowered his head like seeing Hades in the daytime.

Therefore, Sha Yongzhong peeked blatantly.

When the incense burned out, Hao Jun sent more than a dozen attendants down to collect the answers of the hundred officials.

Chen Muxin also began to answer the question, but unfortunately there were no highlights between the words, too conventional, and his eyes even dodged and shrank, as if he had not finished speaking.

Li Yan sneered in his heart, but his face did not show it at all: The person who can enter the palace to test is actually this kind of goods, is there no one in my Great Qin?

"Come on, go and invite Xiao Shiqing."

After that, Chen Muxin's eyes were in a panic for a moment, and she saw it clearly, and she really regarded herself as the second Xiao Ran. For fear of being favored by her, she deliberately hid it.

I just don't know if it's his own meaning or someone else. Her gaze swept towards His Highness like a sharp knife, towards Chen Liyan, and Chen Liyan knelt down in fear.

It was only then that Chen Muxin realized how much of a mistake he had made, and cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it.

Xu felt Li Yan's anger, and Xiao Shiqing came very quickly.

On the way, Hao Jun explained the cause and effect of this incident clearly, he knew that this was an opportunity, and if he missed it, he might not encounter it in his life.

Whether she was fooling him or not, this opportunity had to be seized.

"I only give you half a pillar of incense, and your future depends entirely on your performance today." Almost everyone thought that Xiao Shiqing was going to be promoted to the rhythm of the ranks, and only a few people realized that the situation was wrong, and the emperor's reaction was too calm.

"I will grant you an official position and re-enter the cabinet, and in the future, you will no longer be the Xiao Shiqing of my harem, and if you marry a wife and have children, I will not be held accountable."

But only if you can solve the problem she left behind beautifully.

A word exploded all over the Cloud Palace, and there was a "uproar" in the hall. Xiao Ran's pupils dilated sharply, his ears were buzzing, and his breathing fluctuated unsteadily.

He wasn't dreaming.

"Xiao Shiqing obeys the holy will." Xiao Ran's eyes were full of determined light, and he shot straight at Li Di who was on the high seat.

Although Xiao Ran's appearance is very good, his temperament is more modest and elegant, if he does not make a sound, he will almost be unknown to everyone in the court of many outstanding talents. But once he spoke, the entire court seemed to be centered on him, and the situation changed, and only he shone brightly.

After Xiao Ran finished every sentence, Li Yan's face looked better, and Li Yan was quite pleased, such a person should be an eagle with wings spread and flying high, not a servant imprisoned in a small harem.

And every time Li Yan's face was ruddy, the cold sweat on Chen Muxin's forehead dripped a few more drops.

After he finished speaking, Li Yan couldn't help but applaud and appreciate.

Chen Muxin's face was pale and deceitful.

When Li Yan inexplicably talked about rewarding Xiao Ran, the officials were still talking, but when Xiao Ran's answer was finished, those doubts slowly disappeared.

"It is worthy of being the champion of civil and military affairs that year, Xiao Ran, you really deserve this title." It was no longer appropriate to call Xiao Shiqing again, and Li Yan reacted quickly and threw away this name.

Xiao Ran was like falling into the clouds, and she was very afraid that this was just a dream, but she smiled lightly at him from the high seat. She never looked like she cared, and the casualness in her eyes was contempt for everyone. It seems that everyone is nothing more than a toy when she is bored, at her mercy.

Trampling on other people's lives is the most accomplished thing she has ever done.

But at this moment, she gave him everything he had ever dreamed of.

When did she start to change, she was no longer what she remembered.

“…… Chen Muxin lost his honor in front of the palace, canceled this result and was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for six years...... "Hao Jun came forward and talked a lot, and finally ended with this, and the part of chewing the words will not be remembered for the time being.

The second place is Luo Qinyi.

Luo Qinyi also speaks as gentle and unhurried as she looks, her speech is clear and natural, and her eyes are calm. Compared with Chen Muxin, it is much stronger, and he also puts forward views that Xiao Ran has not had, and thinks about problems with unique ideas, which is indeed capable.

Combining Xiao Ran and Luo Qinyi's answers, it is probably the fold presented by Gong Xincheng on the desk of the Library Pavilion.
