The crown prince Xiang Tiange sat alone in the middle of the Jinluan Palace, secretly licking his wounds.

It's so sad!

He obviously wanted Sister Yu to get out of the tiger's den, share the worries of his father, eliminate the great harm for the people, and kill Xiao Duhou, the number one gentleman in Jinling.

The imperial sister actually didn't help her own brother, but instead hit him ruthlessly, kicked his ass, twisted his ears, forced him to swear, and did everything possible to protect Xiao Duhou, the number one slut in Da Chu.

The prince couldn't help but look up sadly.

The eunuchs of all sizes in the hall were busy building a stove in the hall, preparing a group pu and a low table, pen and bamboo slips for the candidates.

The lifters were busy preparing to grind the ink and talking about the palace test, but no one came to comfort him.

The royal sister and these people, why don't they distinguish between loyalty and treachery, right and wrong!

Prince Xiang Tiange couldn't help but feel even more sad.

That's it!

Since you can't kill the little dusk.

The prince was in the palace and overpowered him in one fell swoop. Let his father and sister know that he, the crown prince, is right.

...

Chu Tianxiu hurriedly walked into the Jinluan Hall with a look on his face.

In the Jinluan Palace, more than 100 Tuanpu, all the lifters have already sat down, looking forward to it, seeing that Xiao Duhou came to the test safe and sound, and finally relieved.

They are also very afraid of accidents.

Xiao Duhou is up and down in the government and the opposition, known as the first of the four great gentlemen in Jinling, and the reputation is not good. Many scholars did not want to be in the company of them.

But the Marquis of Xiao Duan is the son of the Marquis and the son-in-law of King Ping. If something happens to him in the palace, it will be a major event that will alarm the government and the opposition, and the emperor will not have the heart to do anything.

Once this year's annual event cannot be held, they will waste a recommendation in vain, and there will naturally be no drama for the show.

Fortunately, Princess Xiang Ling arrived in time and suppressed the matter in time.

Princess Xiang Ling told the eunuchs and guards to shut up again, and everyone was worried that this matter would make a big deal and lose their heads, so they naturally kept their mouths shut.

I just hope that the emperor doesn't know yet, and the New Year's Eve can be held normally. Even if the emperor knew about this in the future, the palace test would have already ended, and it would not affect their future.

It was also their luck that they arrived an hour early.

The emperor is still in the palace at the moment, and it is estimated that he will arrive in an hour, and he did not come to Jinluan Hall to preside over the palace examination so soon.

...

When Chu Tianxiu entered the hall, he found that almost all of the more than 100 Tuanpu were full of people.

Only the front of the center remains, and there is a dumpling seat, which is still empty.

This position is directly opposite the throne of the Jinluan Palace, which is the closest to the emperor, and no one wants to sit here.

During the palace test, he was stared at by the emperor with a pair of cold and majestic eyes, and the probability of abnormal performance was too great, so he found guilt.

Chu Tianxiu saw that there was no seat, and in desperation, he could only take a seat.

Li Kangnian was sitting in Tuanpu not far away, behind the prince, once the prince was unusually impulsive again, he could immediately detect and stop it.

The crowd may have seen Chu Tianxiu arrive at the Jinluan Hall safely, and felt that the problem was not big, and the atmosphere in the hall was finally lively, and they were all laughing and talking, wishing the exam a smooth success.

"Brother Xie's poetry is amazing, this time he came prepared, he will definitely be in high school!"

Xie Lingyun next to Wang Xunchao said with a smile.

"Where, the little brother's poetry is just a small way, and Brother Wang is a master of political theory. The emperor selects talents every year, and Brother Wang is afraid that he will be a blockbuster. ”

Xie Lingyun shook his head and said.

"I'm ashamed, I'll talk about it, and I can't take it seriously! Dong Xianliang and Chao Fangzheng, they are the real talents! ”

Wang Xun said with a smile.

More than 100 of them are either rich or noble, either the children of the top ten gate lords in Jinling, or the protégés of the official eunuchs, who are familiar with each other and are all related households.

It doesn't matter, you can't enter the Jinluan Hall at all.

Chu Tianxiu looked around, and he had no impression of most of the people in the hall.

It's not because of amnesia.

As a little marquis, his status is obviously much higher than that of the group of gate lords in the palace.

The little dusk marquis usually makes friends with princes and sisters-in-law, often plays with Jinling gentlemen, and never remembers the many small characters in Jinling's top ten gates, so he is naturally not familiar with them.

Xiao Duhou is the head of the "Four Great Gentlemen of Jinling", and his reputation is obviously not ordinarily high, and no one greets him.

The seat on Chu Tianxiu's left side is a Confucian student in a green shirt.

The Confucian smiled and arched his hand towards Chu Tianxiu, and said, "Under Dong Xianliang, the disciple of the imperial envoy Master Kong, I have seen the little marquis!"

The little marquis makes paper, which is a thousand-year-old merit, which makes him extremely admired... I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with such great merits in my next life. ”

"Brother Dong is humble, and he will be a high school today. Perhaps, the two of us will become big officials in the same dynasty in the future. Let's go have a drink when we have time! ”

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help laughing when he heard Dong Xianliang admiring him.

The disciple of the imperial historian Kong Hanyou, with such a big official of the Three Princes as his teacher, it is obviously not difficult to enter the imperial court as an official.

"The little marquis is invited, so he should accompany him!"

Dong Xianliang smiled humbly.

Chu Tianxiu looked left and right again.

The names of the lifters have already been written on the top of the bamboo slips, which can save a little time during the palace examination, and they can be seen at a glance.

He found that the one sitting on his right was called Chao Fangzheng.

This person is quite a little high-minded, greeting Chao Fangzheng, but actually ignoring people.

Looking back, there was a candidate in a rather shabby dress, named Master Father Yan.

This one even seemed to have entered a no-man's land, ignoring the noise around him. Of course, no one paid attention to him. A poor-born miscellaneous scholar is incompatible with other Confucian scholars, and is obviously an alternative existence in the temple.

Chu Tianxiu and the crown prince are separated by a position.

A little farther away, there are Jia Yu, Gongsun Hong, Xiao Ziliang, Wang Xun, Xie Lingyun, Li Gannian, Yang Bing, etc., all the sons of the ministers and gate valves.

The seats in this Jinluan Hall seem to be a bit exquisite.

The disciples of the Three Princes and Jiuqing, and the disciples of the Jinling Gate Lord, all sat at the front, and the emperor spoke more clearly.

The rest of the lifters from the hundred counties of Dachu are much behind.

The people at the gate of the main hall were the most unlucky, in case the emperor spoke quietly, they missed a few words, a sentence, and failed to understand the emperor's holy will... Then I was stunned when I took the test.

The crown prince Xiang Tiange was alone, looking up to the sky with grief and indignation, and hammering the table sadly, and no one dared to approach him.

In normal times, a group of sycophants have long been touted around the prince.

But today, the prince suddenly went crazy and wanted to kill the little faint marquis, which made many people worried about being implicated, afraid that the emperor would suspect that he had instigated the prince to assassinate the little faint marquis in the future, and he didn't dare to approach the prince at all.

Half an hour later.

Cai and the big eunuch took some of his little eunuchs and finally rushed to the Jinluan Hall before the emperor came, and told the people how to face the holy salute and some rules of the palace test.

In the rules of the palace examination, of course, there is nothing prohibiting entrainment, plagiarism and the like... I don't take the books at all, and I don't have the right answers, so I can't talk about entrainment.

No one is stupid enough to copy other people's questionnaires.

"During the palace examination, do not talk, make noise!"

"Half an hour later, the Holy One will come to the Golden Luan Temple. The holy question will only be said once, and you must listen clearly. If you can't hear clearly, then you're asking for more blessings. ”

Cai and the great eunuch walked in front of Chu Tianxiu and stopped.

His voice was much quieter, so low that only three or four people near Chu Tianxiu could hear it, and said with a smile: "A special word of advice, the emperor doesn't like those beautiful words that brag and play tricks."

Don't take out the beautiful words that you brag about yourself in your self-recommendation book, and use them in the temple test. Whatever the emperor asks, you will answer anything on the bamboo slips in 1510, and show your true skills! If you want to dry goods, the more dry the better, you know? ”

Princess Xiang Ling stopped him on the road just now and asked him to mention Xiao Duhou in the palace test, so he would try to remind him.

Lest the little dusk marquis write a bunch of gorgeous... However, useless nonsense comes out.

But that's all he can say.

As for the exam questions, Cai and the great eunuch don't know what questions the emperor will come up with this year, it all depends on the emperor's mood during this time.

Chu Tianxiu was a little puzzled.

What does this eunuch mean?

His car of bamboo slips self-recommendation is full of real materials and dry goods, all dry firewood without moisture!

Chu Tianxiu looked at Dong Xianliang, Chao Fangzheng, Master Father Yan and others on the left and right.

Could it be that someone next to him is unconscious and overblowing?
