The scroll of Takagaku's tribute begins with the following words:

"When the year is cold, the wind cumulus clouds are numerous, the sun is shining and slightly hail, and the rainbow is hidden and the snow is dense."

Li Yu nodded and continued to read:

"It's snow, it can be compared to the color of Mai, and it is also beautiful to use the orchid, flying and sprinkling, gathering and scattering, and the square is the cure, round into a bi, out of the wilderness is ten thousand acres of the same hair, and the mountains are white. The dawn of the sun is as rotten as a candle and the dragon shines on Kunshan; The darkness of the night is as bright as Feng Yi's jade beads. Jisu court steps, Lianlu heavy platform, glorious Qionglin, covering the jade face, turning because of the wind of the tree, Tonghui to bear the moon. There is Huaiyan singing, I will let it hide; Respect the last song, what is the technical photo? Ann does not burn the smoker, lives the osmanthus wine, looks at the forest Shu condensed crisp, sings the snow of the endowment, and says, "The double dance of the court is the twilight of the years; The eyes of the clouds and geese fly alone, and there is no reason for hating it; The mulberry field becomes the sea, the capital becomes a river, and it is better to see the snow on the steps, how can it keep the light in the spring? ’

However, it is said that although the feather is white and light, although the jade is white and empty, it is not like the residual snow, because of the rise and fall of the time, it rises and falls with the clouds, and it drifts with the wind. The value of things is endowed with images, and the camp of chances; Let the ground be shaped and become the work of moisturizing things. Since Mu Qinghua is followed, why bother with residual snow? ”

Well! After reading it, Li Yu hurriedly asked the chamberlain, "The third drum of the high school is written with this remnant snow fu, so as not to be dethroned by Xiao San?" ”

The attendants all laughed, and hurriedly said, "Everyone, Xiao Sanqi's retest is really wonderful, and it is no different from the list put by Pan Lishi." ”

"Of course!" Li Yu was really overjoyed, in fact, he had already made up his mind - as Liu Yan said, even if Jinshike has thousands of ills, it has become an irreplaceable system, and a whole set of rules has already been formed, whether it is me, the emperor, or Gao Yue, as long as everyone abides by the rules and does not cross the line and does not become popular, there will be no problems. If you listen to Chang Gon, it is to turn the world upside down, demolish the house and destroy the rafters, and even if one of the retests is inconsistent with when Pan Yan released the list, it will cause a catastrophic chain reaction and provoke a life-and-death struggle between various factions, so of course it is best to keep it as it is: it can not only show the justice of the division, but also protect the prestige of the imperial examination, and preserve the harmony of the court.

And Xiao Xin just understood the emperor's mind and implemented it concretely.

At this time, the prince and the king of Han, who were puzzled, leaned over, and Li Yu didn't bother to look through the other scrolls, so he directly gave Gao Yue's to the prince.

The crown prince Li Shi is also a talented person who is familiar with poetry and books, and he can see at a glance the Tao of Gao Yue's text: first praise the beauty of the spring snow, and then the body and things are injured, "Rather see the white snow on the steps, how can you keep the light in the spring", these residual snow in the spring light, is soon to melt away, the so-called "the sky is not long, fresh things are impermanent" is this truth, but Gao Yue has not been moaning without disease, but very open-minded said, "Too yin condensed but not pure, holy grace is not solid." The value of things is endowed with images, and the camp of chances; Let the ground be shaped and become the work of moisturizing things. The implication is that although we are snow, although we are as white as feathers and jade, we are different from these two arrogant green tea sluts - the light of the emperor's grace has illuminated us, and we will not be self-respecting, simply turn into spring water, and achieve the merit of "nourishing the earth and fields".

As the saying goes, "I am a piece of snow in the Tang Dynasty, where I need to float, when the wheat is like a wave, I laugh underground." "No wonder His Majesty admires it.

Li Shi sighed inwardly, thinking that the result would be like this, but he was afraid that Chang Gon would be unlucky.

Sure enough, His Majesty soon said that Chang Gon was too strict and small, and he should not be allowed to monopolize the government, and I would choose a Chinese scholar sooner or later......

In the end, the results of the re-examination of Xiziting in Shangshu Province were announced, Gao Yue was still the leader, and the order of each person did not change in the slightest, and Xiao Sanqi and Pan Lishi achieved amazing unanimity.

Although the whole city of Chang'an is surprised by this result, no one openly doubts it - no changes, no twists and turns, it seems to be the best and best result, many of the next people continue to have dreams, ready to study articles in the summer class, and then hope to become famous in one fell swoop in the "autumn roll" of the thirteenth year of the calendar.

However, judging from this year's situation, the South Park where Xiao Xin and Xiao Sanqi live are afraid that they will become "like a city".

In the early morning of February 19, the remnants of the snow in Chang'an City had all melted, the bright morning star was still hanging in the sky, and above the eaves of the palace, when the fog veil slowly dispersed, under the east corridor of Guangfan Gate, Yang Miao'er and Wang Tuantuan, the regimental secretary of the Jinshi Regiment, had already prepared wine and food, and asked Gao Yue and the other Jinshi to finish breakfast first, and then wait for the prime minister to go to the court.

Soon, Pan Yan, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, came to the west court hall of the imperial city, Gao Yue wore a white fine linen shirt, and together with all the jinshi, followed behind Pan Yan, entered the second city wall, crossed the imperial history platform, and came to the gate of the capital hall of Zhongshu Province.

Soon, a hall official walked out, bowed to Pan Yan, and then shouted to Gao Yue and the others, "Come and ask all the Jinshi to be famous!" ”

Below Gao Yue, they handed over the name thorns with their respective circumstances to the hands of this hall official.

The hall official walked into the capital hall of Zhongshu Province again, where the squire Chang Gon stood in the door with a pale face, and took the famous thorn of the jinshi with trembling hands, and it was Gao Yue's who hit the head.

Chang Gon's lips trembled in anger, and he wanted to tear off Gao Yue's famous thorn directly.

He was defeated and lost in the battle of the retest, which not only damaged his prestige, but also angered the other Jinshi who were on the list, attracting many people in the court to attack him openly and secretly, and he was embarrassed, and now he is worried that the Holy Lord will blame him for this, and even remove him from his position.

"Let's, let them in." In the end, Chang Gon pinched Gao Yue's name thorn and said to the hall official.

Then Pan Yan led Gao Yue and the others into the courtyard of the capital hall of Zhongshu Province, while Chang Gon stood in the center of the gate so that all the jinshi could see him.

The hall official named Thorn preached to Chang Gontong: "Pan Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, lead the new Dengdi Jinshi to see the Xianggong!" ”

Another famous official also came out and shouted loudly, "Qu Zhusi!" ”

With this shout, Pan Yan made a long gesture to Chang Gon, whose face was about to be distorted inside the door, and then turned to the east and stood on the side of the door.

At this moment, inside and outside the gate of the capital hall of Zhongshu Province, it happened that Pan Yan turned around and got out of the way, forming a transparent space - Gao Yue, the head of the shape, was dressed in white, and Chang Gon, the prime minister in a chapter uniform, were directly facing each other, and the distance was only eight or nine feet.

Gao Yue suddenly laughed.

Pan Yan didn't pay attention, the two hall officials didn't pay attention either, and the other Jinshi couldn't pay attention because they could only see Gao Yue's back.

Only Chang Gon saw it, and his beard was touched by Gao Yue's inexplicable laughter.

The smile was fleeting, Gao Yue stepped forward, climbed the steps, and in a happy and grateful tone, stylized to Chang Gon and said, "This spring, the Ministry of Rites released the list, I am fortunate to become famous, and there is a Ziting retest, but I have been cast by the Xianggong Tao, and I am not afraid!" ”

After speaking, Gao Yue bowed his head, bent his body, forked his hands, held his sleeves, and went down the steps, and retreated.

"No guests!" When the hall official saw that Gao Yue had finished his speech to the prime minister, he shouted like this, and his voice lingered over the wall of the capital hall.
