The dining room was full of aroma, Wang Ma had already prepared breakfast for us, Situ Hong and I were not polite, we sat down and began to eat, watching Situ Hong next to me sweating and eating breakfast, I was really a little distressed.

Soon the two of us had breakfast, Mo Lu and they still didn't see a figure, they shouldn't have gotten up yet, Situ Hong and I didn't stay long, got up and walked out of the dining room, and walked towards the study - I have to bring all the pens, ink, paper and inkstones I need for the exam, otherwise it will be troublesome if there is less.

Situ Hong followed me into the study, and as soon as I walked into the study, he began to help me pack the things I needed, and in the blink of an eye, everything was packed up, I looked at Situ Hong in front of me, smiled at her and didn't speak.

When he was busy, he suddenly heard Xiaodouzi's voice outside the study: "Brother Bi ......, Brother Bi ......!" ”

"Little Bean?" I walked to the door of the study and opened the door, and saw Xiaodouzi running over with a sweaty face, "What's going on so busy?" ”

Although Xiaodouzi was sweaty, but it could be seen that it should not be a trouble, Xiaodouzi ran to me and hurriedly said: "Brother Bi, Sister Yuqiong and ...... King Ming is here! ”

"Huh? King Ming is also here?! As soon as I heard this, I hurried out of the study and ran towards the hall of Bifu.

In the hall, Mo Lu was talking with Yuqiong and King Ming, while Cao Quan was standing aside, and as soon as I came in, I hurriedly saluted King Ming: "Lord Wang, why are you here?" "Xiao Douzi and Situ Hong, who followed me into this hall, were also busy saluting King Ming.

"Ha Lu Ha ......, today is a big day for the imperial examination. This king came to see how Bi Gongzi was prepared? King Ming sat in his chair with a smile on his face and looked at me.

"Thank you for your concern, do your best!" I replied.

Without waiting for King Ming to speak again, Yuqiong on the side said in an eager tone: "Brother Bi, you must be the champion in the exam!" ”

"Don't worry, I will." I smiled faintly at Yuqiong and replied softly.

As he spoke, the four heroes of the capital also entered this hall, and when they saw King Ming and Yuqiong, they were stunned for a moment, and I knew that the four of them must have seen King Ming in the capital, but King Ming had never seen the four of them, so I was busy looking at the four people. The four of them suddenly understood. He bowed down and saluted to King Ming: "The grass people have seen the prince." ”

"Ha Lu Ha ......, that's it, this is in Bi Gongzi's mansion, so there is no need to be polite!" King Ming Ha Lu Ha Da Lu replied with a smile. Then he looked at the four people and asked me, "Bi Gongzi." The four of them all looked like some practitioners. But this king has never seen it, who are the four of them? ”

"Oh, it's a bodyguard found in this capital!" I'm improvised. He opened his mouth and said.

"Bodyguards?" Not only did King Ming look at me puzzled, but even the others were not confused.

"Uh...... The nursing home is the nursing home I found! "I knew that they didn't understand the meaning of 'bodyguard', so I hurriedly explained.

"Hmm." As soon as King Ming heard me say this, he nodded slightly, with the body of the four heroes of the capital, it is more than enough to be a nursing home, and King Ming has also heard about the troubles I have encountered many times before, and it is reasonable to find some caretakers to come back.

When I saw that everyone had arrived, I hurriedly said to King Ming, "Lord Wang, you haven't eaten yet, why don't you have some breakfast in Bifu?" ”

"That's it!" As soon as King Ming heard my words, he immediately waved his hand, "This king still has some things to do, so he won't stay here for a long time." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yuqiong, "Qiong'er, are you staying here or going back with this king?" ”

"Father, I want to stay here." Although Yuqiong was answering King Ming's words, her eyes were looking at me.

Seeing this, I hurriedly turned my eyes and looked away, my wife Situ Hong was still by my side, even if it was flirting, it couldn't be too blatant!

"Okay, Qiong'er, then you can stay here with Bi Gongzi, and send someone to tell this king if there is anything." As he spoke, King Ming got up and walked out of the hall.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly got up to send off King Ming, until I was sent out of the door, I was surprised, I don't know when the door of my small Bifu was already full of guards wearing cyan armor, it was simply three layers inside and three layers outside for a leak, just now I was still wondering how King Ming and Yuqiong would come to my Bifu alone, dare to come with personal soldiers.

As soon as King Ming stepped on his tall horse, turned his head to Yuqiong and said a few words to him, he left with his own soldiers, watching these soldiers who usually wear armor and kill people without blinking an eye, I really have an indescribable timidity.

When I turned around and returned to Bifu, it was already dark, and I should clean up and go out.

As far as I know about history, the imperial examination system was formed in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the heyday was the Ming and Qing dynasties, but now the only thing I know is that it is now in a year called 'Concord Four Years', as for what the current emperor's surname is, what is the dynasty and so on, I don't know what the current imperial examination system is perfecting, whether it is the same as in the costume drama.

After packing up the things I needed for the imperial examination, I went out, originally Mo Lu and they were going to send me all, but I knew that it was too blatant and fanfare, so I only let Mo Lu, Situ Hong and Yuqiong stay with me, as for the four heroes of the capital, Xiaodouzi and Yue'er, as well as Wang Wu and Red Fox, they will honestly stay at home and wait for me to return triumphantly.

When she got out, Yuqiong took the three of us and ran towards the examination room for the exam.

To be honest, I don't have any impression of these ancient imperial examinations, and the costume dramas I used to watch were all big words and jokes, just to let the audience eat a fast food and watch the fun, but now that I am in it, I know the troubles.

First of all, I have already taken the township examination and the entrance examination, which is just pediatrics, I participated in my hometown, and the ears around me are all familiar faces, and I am naturally not afraid to know the roots, I thought that after taking these, I could go straight to the capital to participate in the palace examination, and won the title of champion in one fell swoop under the supervision of the emperor, but who knew that when I followed Yuqiong to a gate, I knew that I had to take the pre-examination before participating in the palace examination.

The so-called examination before the palace examination is nothing more than to screen out all the candidates who are mixed with fish and dragons and vain trying to come to this capital to earn a name by relying on crooked ways, and the place of the examination is not in the palace, but a place called 'Gongyuan' far away from the palace.

The so-called Tribute Academy, in fact, is the examination room for the township examination and the general examination, why is there such a place in this capital, and I am going to enter this Tribute Academy now to take an exam before the palace examination? Alas~, it's really incomprehensible!

Before I got closer, I saw that the door of the Gongyuan was already full of scholars in long robes and hair in light buns, and the number of people had to be 8,000 if not 10,000, and it could be seen that they should all be scholars who had come to take the imperial examination, and they could be regarded as comrades-in-arms in the same trench, but the time had not yet come, so they were waiting behind the door.

"Bi Gongzi, these people are all here to participate in the imperial examination?" Mo Lu, who was standing behind him, looked at the situation in front of him and couldn't help frowning and asked.

"It should be." I nodded.

Situ Hong was obviously not frightened by the situation in front of her, and couldn't help but tug at the corner of my clothes and said timidly: "Husband, so many people come to participate in the imperial examination?" ”

"It's just once a year, who doesn't want to try their skills!" I replied with a smile, and in a blink of an eye, I looked at the group of black scholars in front of me.

"This is just an exam before the temple exam, in order to screen out those who fish in troubled waters, and those who can save half after this exam are over, it will be good." Yuqiong beside her explained softly.

"Only half left?" I was immediately surprised, I went to go, before the official start of the 50% elimination rate, this exam is really not ordinary cruel.

Yuqiong looked at me with a smile and said, "Brother Bi, this exam has to last for three days, don't be scared!" ”

"What? Three days? When I heard this, I was immediately dumbfounded, and even Situ Hong and Mo Lu on the side were surprised.

"That's right." Yuqiong replied as a matter of course, "Although this exam is a test before the palace exam, in addition to eliminating those who fish in troubled waters, it is also necessary to explore the true skills of reference scholars, otherwise let them in so rashly, and anger the emperor No one has good fruit to eat." ”
