(Thank you very much to the old brother 'Book Buddies' 18672397' for their generosity of 5,000 yuan and 22 monthly passes.) ）

Fang Qiao hurriedly squeezed forward, and his ranking in the Rite Department Examination ranked thirty-fourth, which was relatively high.

Entering the palace from the south gate, the candidates were led by the cabinet envoy to the Guanwen Palace. There are guards of the Imperial City guarding the surroundings. There was also a superintendent next to him, and no one dared to make any rude behavior, nor did he dare to look up. Each looked at the road under their feet, stared at the heels of the person in front of them, and walked forward quickly.

All the way to the Guanwen Palace, the palace Shao music echoed from the Guanwen Palace. Yang Jian, the Son of Heaven, has not yet arrived, but the examiners of this department have already waited in the palace in advance, including Wang Junlin, the chief eunuch.

Under the supervision and guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, two hundred tribute students lined up in the center of the Guanwen Hall, and the first three were the top three in the Ministry of Rites.

After a few net whips, the music stopped. Under the order of the ceremonial officer, all the examiners and candidates, without exception, knelt down, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Son of Heaven, Wang Junlin's eyes were like electricity, and he stayed on the thirteen Hanmen scholars for a moment one by one, and nodded lightly at Fang Qiao, which was regarded as a greeting, which made Fang Qiao more and more sure that he and others could go to high school It was Qin Anhou's credit.

After Fang Qiao and Wang Junlin looked at each other, they didn't dare to look more, in the silent hall, he lowered his head and studied the masonry on the ground of the hall as a pavement. Although it is a fired brick and stone, it has a dark metallic luster, and it is no wonder that it is rumored that gold bricks are used to pave the floor in the palace.

If it was the Han Dynasty, the hall was paved with floors, and slippers were required to enter the hall. But after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the etiquette of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already begun to change. By now, it is possible to walk on the main hall with boots on.

A series of footsteps finally came from ahead.

It's not noisy, it's neat, it rings quietly, and it ends quietly.

Then the ceremonial officer gave orders in a half-chanting and half-singing voice.

Three kneels and nine knocks.

Bow down to Yang Jian, the emperor who nominally rules hundreds of millions of people in the current Great Sui Dynasty.

When they worship together, they can look at the characters in the temple. But it was a little far away, and the light was very dim, so I couldn't see what Yang Jian was like sitting on the royal couch.

It's just that there are three people standing on both sides of the Son of Heaven, who are Gao Ying, Zhou Chengyan and Wang Junlin.

After a series of etiquette that had been taught by the official beforehand, the candidates were finally able to take their seats. Under the guidance of the attendants, the kung fu of a cup of tea has already been put in place.

Then the exam questions written by Yang Jian himself came out.

'The ancient king, seek the virtuous and listen to it, choose the good and make it. The law is not enough to be practiced, it is just to be changed; People are not enough and have understanding, but they are just doing it...... To keep the position is safe, to manage the wealth is rich, to prohibit the listening, to punish the crime is to obey, to hand over the ghosts and gods to feast, since the barbarian is qualified, the above rule is the sun, the moon and the stars have their order, and the following rule is the birds, beasts, plants and trees have their nature...... I sleep at night, my heart is a few things, and I don't know why this is the way. Doctor Zi has heard what he has heard, and he is my words...... What you see is not hidden. ’

Yang Jian's personal exam questions are sprinkled with hundreds of words, which are essentially one sentence: local administrative failures can be bold and outspoken.

Obviously, Yang Jian came up with this topic after careful consideration, although there is nothing surprising, but it is a proper topic.

Wang Junlin stood behind Yang Jian, while secretly estimating the time, he found that almost all the candidates were a little nervous, and many of them kept taking deep breaths, trying in vain to calm the nervousness and excitement of seeing the Son of Heaven for the first time and completing the strategy in front of the Son of Heaven.

Soon everyone had put down their pens and began to write hard, Yang Jian walked slowly in the hall, Gao Ying, Wang Junlin and Zhou Chengyan followed behind.

When the Son of Heaven came over, when the candidates wanted to get up and salute, they would be stopped by Yang Jian. He came to see the candidates for the exam, not to disturb the exam.

Yang Jian's gaze swept over the papers, and as long as there was a judgment on it that made his eyes shine, Yang Jian would stop a little and write down the name of this candidate.

But from front to back, and from back to front, Yang Jian didn't find many rolls that could make him pause, and his face couldn't help but look a little difficult, Gao Ying and Zhou Chengyan saw this, they couldn't help but secretly complain, drenched in cold sweat, and secretly scolded in their hearts that these family gate valves can't send some people with real talent and learning.

At this time, Yang Jian walked next to Fang Qiao, who was walking the dragon and snake without distraction.

Yang Jian didn't want to disturb Fang Qiao's writing, so he was only about to take two looks, and then planned to leave. But when my eyes fell on the test paper, I couldn't step away. I stood for a long time, looked at the completed part twice from beginning to end, and then slowly nodded again, turned back to Gao Ying, Wang Junlin, and Zhou Chengyan and said coldly: "I finally found one that can still be seen." ”

Gao Ying and Zhou Chengyan hurriedly called themselves "dereliction of duty", while Wang Junlin followed behind without saying a word, looking inexplicable.

The speed of the palace examination is much faster than that of the Ministry of Rites, and no one dares to let the Son of Heaven wait until after the third watch.

The palace examination starts early and ends early.

By the afternoon, Yang Jian had already turned back to the apse to rest, and the last candidate finally handed in his test papers.

Next, it was time for the work of marking and correcting the papers, but Yang Jian didn't want to hand over this work to Gao Ying and Zhou Chengyan anymore.

It's just that without waiting for Yang Jian to think of a good candidate, the old eunuch Du Luoge, the commander of the Houguan Mansion, came to report, saying that someone secretly conspired with the scholars in the capital who failed to pass the exam, intending to make trouble.

Yang Jian was shocked, and just ordered Du Luoge to quickly investigate the matter, Zhao Shuliang, the commander of the palace guards in charge of the palace guards, hurried over again, he reported to Yang Jian, and thousands of scholars gathered outside the south gate of the imperial city, sat still, and handed over a book of ten thousand words.

Since ancient times, the people do not fight with officials, and the poor do not fight with the rich, but under the overall planning of Wang Junlin, the joint operation of the old intelligence organization Nighthawk, which was inherited from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the newly established intelligence organization Ghost Eye, the first mass meditation activity in the history of the Chinese Dynasty was successfully carried out with the Han scholars as the main body to complain about injustice to the court and the Son of Heaven. This is destined to be an event that will go down in history.

The so-called Book of Ten Thousand Words is actually evidence of favoritism and malpractice in the autumn examination of the imperial examination, mainly by the chief examiner Gao Ying, the deputy examiner Zhou Chengyan and the chief supervisor Wang Junlin.

More than 1,000 people sat in front of the gate of the imperial city, all kinds of long robes, all dressed as scholars, each holding a book of 10,000 words in their hands, under the leadership of "Xu Jingzong" sitting at the front, they read the contents of the book of 10,000 words over and over again in unison, all with solemn faces and solemn expressions.

Since the past dynasties, this kind of thing has never happened, from Yang Jian, the son of heaven, down to the civil and military officials and the palace guards guarding the palace gate, as well as hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, all of them were stunned and surprised.

After Yang Jian read the book of ten thousand words, he was so angry that he smashed everything around him on the spot.

Zhao Shuliang, the commander of the palace guards, didn't know how to deal with the current situation, so he had to order the soldiers to surround more than 1,000 Hanmen soldiers and separate them from the people of the capital who gathered more and more to watch the excitement.

The gate of the imperial city was opened, and "Xu Jingzong" had already come to the gate of the city, fearless in the face of swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and handed over the book of ten thousand words that he had already spread to the palace guards, asking them to present it to the emperor, and then returned to the scholars and knelt in the front, and continued to read aloud the content of favoritism and fraud in the book of ten thousand words.

In the palace Guanwen Palace, the palace examination has just ended, Wang Junlin, Gao Ying, and Zhou Chengyan are resting in the inner hall, waiting for His Majesty to arrange errands, and the two hundred candidates of the high school are enjoying the meals provided by the palace while waiting for the results of the palace examination.

Gao Ying almost got the news of the Hanmen scholar sitting in front of the emperor at the same time as Yang Jian, and even Du Luoge got a book of 10,000 words and handed it to Gao Ying as soon as possible.

After Gao Ying saw it, his body trembled, his face flushed, he stood up violently, turned to look at Wang Junlin, and wanted to say something with a look of disbelief, but as soon as his mouth opened, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then his body staggered and fainted directly.

Zhou Chengyan was taken aback when he saw this scene, ignoring how the chamberlain next to him rescued Gao Ying, took the book of ten thousand words from Gao Ying's hand and looked at it twice, his face turned pale, and he fell directly to the ground.

Wang Junlin glanced at the two of them and went directly to meet Emperor Yang Jian.

As far as Wang Junlin knows, in the history of China. The tide did not have good results, and in the Song Dynasty, where the literary style was at its peak, the student leader Chen Dong did not get the desired results, let alone the books on the bus in the back.

The rulers would not accept such coercive opinions, let alone the Sui Dynasty, which had the clearest hierarchy between nobles and commoners.

There are more and more scholars from the cold door in front of the south gate of the imperial city, and there are constantly scholars who have received the news or got the book of ten thousand words and rushed over with an indignant face, and the people have also changed from the mentality of watching the excitement at the beginning to a solemn look, and the hawkers' shouting is much quieter, and even the rangers who are not sheltered have lowered their voices.

The square in front of the gate of the imperial city is already crowded with people, the Chinese people love to see the lively problem in the Sui Dynasty has existed, the people have come from all directions, the road in all directions is blocked, they don't understand what these scholars who seem to have ordinary family backgrounds want to do, I don't know how significant what these scholars do, and even to some extent is fighting for the interests of their people, they only know that there is a lively and good-looking, some shrewd people even put the basket on their heads and sell all kinds of dried fruits loudly, These are all must-have foods to watch the excitement.

The grief and indignation in the hearts of these unsuccessful scholars were incomprehensible, Wang Junlin only sent the collected evidence to them through the hands of "Xu Jingzong", and then through a little provocation and guidance by "Xu Jingzong", there was a scene of more than 1,000 scholars from the poor families gathering together to sit quietly in front of the palace to petition and petition.

Wang Junlin clearly calculated the reactions of all aspects, especially Yang Jian's reaction, he believed that with Yang Jian's imperial mind, he might be furious at first, but after calming down, he would only take advantage of the situation to do some things that he had been difficult to do, but wanted to do the most.
