The emperor is here!

The people present were all shocked and their jaws dropped, especially those who watched the excitement, and their faces were the most shocked. Why did the emperor come? Is this civil service exam really that important?

The person who had just walked away in shame had not gone far, and when he heard the news, he turned around and ran back.

Sun Chengzong and Li Yiqi also heard this voice, and a flash of disbelief flashed on Li Yiqi's face, followed by a burst of surprise. Sun Chengzong smiled faintly, sure enough, he really didn't guess wrong.

Sitting in the imperial chariot, Zhu Yijun glanced outside, but no one had seen it, and then he thought that he was coming, and he would definitely clean the street. Putting down the curtain, Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief, I hope everything goes well this time!

After getting off the imperial chariot, Zhu Yijun looked into the distance from afar, and there were indeed many people gathered there.

Hai Rui Xu Wenchang still had Lu Shenxing already waiting there, and when he saw Zhu Yijun coming in, he hurriedly knelt down to greet him. Waving his hand, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Get up!" Take me in and have a look. ”

The group entered the tribute courtyard, and then the people who knelt in the distance got up from the ground.

Li Yiqi said excitedly: "The emperor is here, the emperor is really here!" ”

Sun Chengzong didn't speak, they were far away from there, although his eyes were good, but because he was kneeling, he could only see a person in a yellow dragon robe walking in, but he also knew that it was the emperor.

"Enter!"

The emperor has entered, and the ladies should also enter, but this time the search is stricter than during the imperial examination.

Taking the examination basket from the hands of the searchers, Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief, took his number plate to find the examination room, and then walked in. Looking around, Sun Chengzong's exam atmosphere here is really different.

Five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, all of them stood guards, each of them standing like a javelin, motionless.

Patrolling the corridor was a group of people dressed in black, and Sun Chengzong didn't know what these people did, so they didn't look like invigilators. But judging from the current situation, it should be the invigilator.

"The emperor has arrived!"

With a sharp shout, the ladies hurriedly came out of the examination room and knelt respectfully in the aisle.

Zhu Yijun walked out of it and said loudly: "In today's civil service examination, we should adhere to merit-based admission and put an end to fraud. You and others are all pillars of the country, and you should work hard to refer to them and strive to pass the examination. ”

After saying a few words, Zhu Yijun turned around and went back, this event itself is a show.

Whether you hear it or not, or hear it clearly or not, it will definitely be trained by the emperor in the future, and this name is amazing, and it is estimated that it will make people outside fall off their jaws. That's enough, and the fact that I came here this time is more symbolic than practical.

"Start the exam, release the papers!"

With another shout, the sealed test papers were opened, and then handed out one by one by the man in black.

Zhu Yijun was drinking tea in the back hall at this time, and when he saw that Hai Rui and the three of them were there, he waved his hand directly and said, "Okay, what should I do, I don't need you to accompany me here." ”

"By the way, if there are any excellent exam papers, you can show them to me!"

The three of them bowed down and said, "Obey the order!" Then he turned and walked outside.

After Sun Chengzong got the exam paper in his hand, he found that it was five sheets of paper, each of which had an exam question, and below was the place to answer. Don't rush to answer the questions, Sun Chengzong is going to take a look at all five questions.

What Sun Chengzong didn't expect was that the test questions were not poetry at all, nor were they strategies, but people's livelihood.

For example, in the first question, what is the land in Daxing County, and what kind of food is suitable for planting?

The question seems very simple, but Sun Chengzong knows that this question alone is enough to make people scratch their heads. However, Sun Chengzong was not worried, he was a native of Gaoyang and belonged to the Baoding Mansion of Beizhili.

In addition, I have been in the capital all these years, and I still know what to plant in Daxing.

As for the land in Daxing County, most of it is mountainous and woodland, and most of the land reclaimed is dry land. As long as you have a little understanding of people's livelihood, you can definitely answer this point, after all, most of the civil servants who refer to it this time are the talents of Shuntianfu.

The next few questions are also about people's livelihood, such as the transfer of money and grain, local stability maintenance, and criminal cases. Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief after reading the title.

I really made the right bet, it's not just a matter of doing eight strands, and I have confidence in these topics.

Picking up the pen, Sun Chengzong began to write on the straw paper little by little, and then waited for a while to copy it on the test paper.

Li Yiqi, who was sitting in the examination room in the distance, looked at the question and suddenly rejoiced in his heart. After reading these questions a few times, he had already typed the draft in his heart and began to transcribe it on the test paper.

"Whoever finishes answering, you can submit the paper in advance, and you can leave after submitting the paper, and the list will be released at noon tomorrow!"

About half an hour later, a greeting sounded in the aisle, so that all the candidates knew that they could hand in the paper after answering?

About an hour later, Sun Chengzong read the copied test paper and nodded with satisfaction. On the test paper, Sun Chengzong not only wrote down the current law, but also wrote his own suggestions for improvement.

Turning his head and looking at the surrounding examination rooms, some of the scholars had already handed in their papers, and Sun Chengzong also began to pack his things.

After sorting out the things, Sun Chengzong came out of the examination room with his own examination basket and test papers, and came to the front under the guidance of the black-clothed invigilator. There are three tables here, and behind each table is a person.

"The three adults can all collect the scroll, and they can hand it over to anyone!" The black-clad proctor reminded him.

Sun Chengzong nodded, and put a scroll in the middle of the old man's face, the old man's face was very majestic, there was no expression on his face, and his eyes were very sharp. Sun Chengzong didn't know who this person was, but he felt that he was sitting in the middle and should be the main examiner.

After calling the roll, Sun Chengzong walked out of the gate, breathed a sigh of relief, and left with a smile.

Hai Rui, who took the volume, glanced at it, nodded and said, "Don't talk about anything else, this word is still very good!" After speaking, he looked down at the volume, looked at the first one, and nodded with satisfaction.

After reading the second one, he nodded with satisfaction again, and when he finished reading all five, Hai Rui had a smile on his face.

"There are talents in the wild, Your Majesty is really far-sighted!" Hai Rui flipped through the roll and said with a smile.

Xu Wenchang and Lu Shenxing were both stunned, it was really not easy to let this person open his mouth to praise people, even if he opened his mouth to praise the emperor. This made the two of them curious about the volume, what made Hai Rui say this.

"Show me!" Xu Wenchang was not so polite, and directly took the scroll from Hai Rui's hand.

After Xu Wenchang finished reading it, he stroked his beard and praised: "Okay, very good, this person is really a talent!" ”

Lu Shenxing also wanted to see it, but he was young and young, so he didn't dare to reach out and grab it, so he could only look at Xu Wenchan with a blank eye. Seeing this scene, Xu Wenchang smiled and handed the scroll to Lu Shenxing.

"Okay, that's a good job!" Lu Shenxing also praised loudly.

"This scroll is for Your Majesty, right?" Lu Shenxing looked at the two people and spoke.

Hai Rui and Xu Wenchang glanced at each other, and then said, "Okay, you go!" Young man, it is good to have more contact with Your Majesty, this is a chance for you, go quickly! ”

Xu Wenchang waved his hand and said, "Look at what, we are supporting you!" ”

Lu Shenxing looked at Xu Wenchang, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Lord Xu!" ”

Although he said this, Lu Shenxing didn't believe what Xu Wenchang said, and through this period of contact, Lu Shenxing almost figured out the routine of these two old men. Hai Rui is rigid and serious, while Xu Wenchang is good at planning, but he is also a little playful.

Let himself send it, a large part of the reason is that he is too lazy to move, and the other reason is to wait to see the new volume.

Lu Shenxing didn't care about this, took the scroll and went to the back, he felt that this scroll should be shown to the emperor.

Seeing Lu Shen walking in, still holding a roll in his hand, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Is there a good roll so soon?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I have read this volume and Lord Xu of the sea, and I think it is very good, and I will give it to the emperor!" Saying that, Lu Shenxing respectfully presented the volume.

Zhu Yijun took the roll with a smile and glanced at the name, Zhu Yijun was stunned, Sun Chengzong? This name was too famous in the late Ming Dynasty, could it really be that Sun Chengzong? No way! Why did he come here to take the civil service exam?

"Do you have this information about Sun Chengzong?" Zhu Yijun glanced at Lu Shenxing and asked.

"Chen, let's go find it!" Although Lu Shenxing didn't know why the emperor didn't even look at the scroll and looked for this person's information, he knew that it was the most appropriate way for him to go to find it.

Zhu Yijun saw Lu Tiaoyang go out, so he picked up the test paper in his hand and looked through it.

After reading the test paper, Zhu Yijun sighed, whether this person is the Sun Chengzong he thought of, this person is a talent! After pondering for a long time, Zhu Yijun smiled, is it that Sun Chengzong has anything to do with it, anyway, it is okay to reuse talents.

When Lu Shenxing came back, he held a roster in his hand, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has found it." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded and motioned for Lu Shenxing to continue.

"Back to Your Majesty, Sun Chengzong, a native of Gaoyang, Baoding Mansion, Beizhili, the word is childish." Lu Shenxing took the name and introduced Sun Chengzong's basic information, and then raised his head to look at Zhu Yijun, waiting for his instructions.

Zhu Yijun figured it out just now, smiled and waved his hand: "The volume is good, you can take it and judge!" ”

Lu Shenxing was stunned for a moment, the emperor was still very interested just now, why did he have this attitude now, but he didn't dare to ask, took Sun Chengzong's volume, bowed down and said, "The minister will retire!" With that, he bowed and walked out.

Picking up the tea leaves and taking a sip, Zhu Yijun sighed with a smile: "Sun Dashuai! ”
