Over the years, I have been to a lot of places, but this is the first time in the imperial city, although the delicate body living in it has little to do with him, but this rich place has also opened Liu Xi's eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Entering the Chaoyang Gate, the glorious palace is also gradually displayed in front of you, the lofty pavilion is towering, the floors are raised, the face of the Lin Palace is hugged, the road is lingering, the green pine eaves are blowing, the jade fence is around, the golden glow beast face, the head of the color radiant mantle, the white jade layer is stacked, the dragon pan is protected, the exquisite chisel is made, it is the first floor of five steps, and the pavilion of ten steps; The corridor waist is back, and the eaves teeth are high pecked.

At this moment, it is still a thick night, but it can't hide the glazed jade of the palace and the imperial city. The eaves and beasts are lifelike, and they are all unfinished; The blue jade is layered on top of each other, and it is full of dignified and exquisite scenes.

Looking at the bricks and tiles in front of him, the image of the dragon and the phoenix, even if he had already prepared in his heart, Liu Xi couldn't help but sigh that the emperor's place was luxurious.

There is a strong and solemn atmosphere, perhaps, this is the power of the legendary dragon vein.

Liu Xixiu is in his body, but he is not affected, and the palace is also a beautiful place to enjoy a few glances. As for the other people who had just entered the palace, needless to say, they were all dumbfounded, looking at the patrol guards with armor and spears around them, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere.

Even some people's legs began to tremble involuntarily as they walked.

Unconsciously, Liu Xi walked in front of everyone closest to the red-robed eunuch, vaguely with the momentum of the head of the new scientist.

And the red-robed eunuch saw the appearance of a cadre in his eyes, he had become a human spirit in the palace, and he could see people through at a glance, and his heart was roughly clear, and among the dozens of people, Liu Xi was the most well-behaved and well-mannered.

Secretly praised in his heart that this son will become a great weapon, the red-robed eunuch shook the dust in his hand, showed a smile with Liu Xi, made a gesture of please, and then slowed down, turned around side by side with him, and walked to the corridor on the other side.

After a while, there was a row of jade steps in front of Liu Xi, and on both sides of the steps were lined up with grim faces and sharp blades.

The red-robed eunuch walked up the stairs, Liu Xi naturally walked forward together, and when he stopped, there was a big hall in front of him, looking at the three big characters of 'Fuhua Palace' splashed with ink.

This is the place of Li Tang's early dynasty.

The red-robed eunuch turned around, lowered his voice and said softly, "Everyone, wait here, let's go in and report to the Holy Lord, remember not to make a noise, so as not to alarm the Holy Lord and the ministers." ”

Hearing this, the scholars nodded one after another, and even reached out to cover their mouths, which made the red-robed eunuch secretly laugh and curse a few words in his heart, seeing that Liu Xi was still as usual, neither humble nor arrogant, he praised him in his heart, and smiled with him, and then bowed his head and walked towards the hall in small steps.

There was a cup of tea standing outside the hall, and suddenly a sharp voice came out, "Xuanxin Keshi enters the hall!" ”

Seeing that no one came out to guide, the voice of the call should be even if these talented people from all over the world who have knowledge and writing in their bellies are confused, and look at each other with panicked faces, and they don't know what to do for a while.

The will of the Tang Emperor has been transmitted, of course, it cannot be consumed, and it is not advisable to enter the palace at will, Liu Xi coughed lightly and said, "Don't panic, otherwise it will only be a big deal, I have been waiting for the cold window for decades for today, you will line up according to the ranking when the list is released, and then enter the palace to see the Son of Heaven." ”

This proposal was also reasonable, so soon, dozens of people stood in line one after another, and Liu Xili was the first, taking the lead in crossing the threshold of more than one foot and stepping into the court hall where the Li Tang monarch was deliberating.

The bronze cups of different forms around the Fuhua Hall are scattered, the lights of the main hall are bright, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military standing in the palace, at this moment, are looking at Liu Xi and others who came into the hall.

With this kind of momentum, some people's bones immediately began to tremble, and they could simply endure the timidity and follow behind, without falling to the ground or fainting, otherwise they were afraid that their future would be ruined here, and they would regret it in this life.

On the high platform of the main hall, Li Shan was wearing a crown on his head, wearing a yellow embroidered dragon gold silk silk robe, and a jade belt around his waist, looking at everyone with a smile on his face.

"The grass people have seen the saints."

Liu Xi stopped two zhang away from the high platform, and this position, the second and the third-rank ministers, only one step away from the fourth-rank people, knocked on the voice of the salute and spoke extremely slowly, so that the rest of the scholars could react and follow his words.

Li Shan, who was on the high platform, naturally had a full view of this kind of action, smiled and waved his hand, and the dragon claws on his sleeves danced with him, "It's not polite, you are full of poetry and books, and you have both ability and political integrity, and it is a blessing for me to be able to use it for the imperial court!" ”

"What the Holy Lord said is extremely true, my Datang is full of talents, and the Holy Rite is a corporal, why worry that my Datang will not be peaceful forever, the minister should congratulate the Sheng, congratulate the Sheng, congratulate the Shengshang."

The head of the ministers, the king of Tanglin, said with a smile, and as soon as these words came out, the courtiers immediately said in unison, "Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint!" ”

"Hehe......"

Tang Emperor Li Shan stroked his chin and nodded his head, "What the emperor's brother said is what I think about day and night, I am the king of a country, and what I want to see most is that the people of my Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, and enjoy peace forever." But this is not an easy thing to do, I have been on the throne for more than ten years, and my original ambition has long been worn away by the years, and I feel more and more the true meaning of the eight words "it is not easy to govern the country, and how difficult the people's livelihood is". ”

"Alas......"

Li Shan's long sigh immediately caused a white-haired and purple crane robe to step out of his position and say, "The Holy One must not say this, since the Holy One ascended the throne, he has cared about the people and worked for the affairs of the state, which is a rare sage and wise man." If the saint thinks that the Tang Dynasty still has drawbacks, it is also the minister's disadvantage, and he asks the saint to punish him. ”

"Ask the Holy God to punish you."

I don't know if there is a tacit understanding after working together for many years, or the courtiers in the hall are born with such ability, the words shouted are unusually neat, and the thunderous words echo in the hall, even if it is a pleading, it is so imposing.

"You don't need to blame yourself, I just said a few words of emotion, it just so happens that today is the palace test, you might as well hand over the problem to the new scholars, come to people, and put on the four treasures of the book and the study."

Li Shan's sudden words made the scholars who had just ascended to the court stunned, even Liu Xi, until the wooden case and pen, ink, paper and inkstone were placed in front of him, he came back to his senses, and he would come out with the meaning of those words.

In the autumn, Li Shan asked about the policy of governing the country, and at this moment, the Jinluan Palace discussed the policy of rejuvenating the country, and the difference between the two was just one word, but the meaning was very different.

Staring at the spread of rice paper, Liu Xi frowned, many people behind him had already picked up the pen to write, and he was still grinding Fang Yan with his right hand, and the pen was put aside, unmoved.

Seeing him like this, the Tang Emperor Li Shan, who had been paying attention to him, flashed incomprehension in his eyes, and the King of Tanglin glanced at Liu Xi, and then lowered his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Soon, everyone was writing and writing, but Liu Xi was still grinding ink.

Could it be that he was stumped?

As a Jinshi first-class, there are many people in the court who know Liu Xi, especially those who know that he writes good words and creates couplets and other romantic things, so he is also a little curious about Liu Xi in his heart, and now he has not seen movement for a long time, so he naturally feels incredible.

And at this moment, Liu Xi moved, holding a small seal and splashing ink, but it was just a scene of incense, others were still struggling to write, and he actually stopped writing.

It seems that the answer has been completed.

When the courtiers were surprised, Li Shan asked with a smile, "Liu Xi, have you finished writing?" ”

Bent over and saluted, Liu Xi said respectfully, "Hui Caomin is in his hands, I only hope that the saint will not blame him after reading it." ”

Hearing this, Li Shan was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the eunuch standing next to him to present the rice paper written by Liu Xi, and after a while, his face suddenly changed, his expression was solemn, and his brows were tightly locked.

What's going on?

His Royal Highness's courtiers couldn't help but speculate secretly in their hearts, and the King of Tanglin, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, also noticed the strangeness of the atmosphere, and couldn't help but open his eyes and look at the rice paper in the hand of the Tang Emperor, trying to figure out what kind of words were written on it.

After a long time, Li Shan stood up from the dragon chair with rice paper in both hands, "The ancients had the talent of the world to divide ten buckets, and it is not an exaggeration for you Liu Yusheng to say that you have accounted for nine buckets. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, and seeing this situation, the Tang Emperor asked the eunuch to turn around again and read what Liu Xi wrote in public.

The elders who seek wood will consolidate their roots; Those who want to flow far will dredge their springs; Those who think about the safety of the country will accumulate their virtues. The source is not deep and the flow is far away, the roots are not solid and seek the length of the wood, the virtue is not thick and the peace of the country, although the rest is foolish, know that it is not possible, and the situation is clear?

The king of the people is the weight of the artifact, the big in the domain, will be the height of the sky, and the rest of the world will always be boundless. Don't think of danger in peace, quit luxury and frugality, don't deal with its thickness, love is overwhelmed, Si also cut roots to seek Mu Mao, plug the source and want to flow long. Where the head of the hundreds, inheriting the destiny of the heavens, all of them are not worried and the way, the success and the decline of virtue, the good beginning is really complicated, and the end can overcome the widow. Is it easy to take and how hard to keep?

In the past, there was more than enough, and now it is not enough, why not?

The husband will be wholeheartedly waiting for his worries, and he will indulge in pride in his ambitions; Dedication is Wu, the more as one, proud of the flesh and blood for the road. Although Dong Zhi was severely punished and shocked with anger, he was finally spared without benevolence, and he was respectful but not convinced. The resentment is not big, but it is terrifying; It is advisable to be cautious when carrying a boat and capsizing a boat. Running to the car and running the rope, can it be sudden?

If you are a gentleman, you can see what you want, and you will think enough to abstain from self-discipline; If there will be something to do, then thinking and knowing will stop to appease people; Thinking of high danger, then thinking of humility and self-shepherding; If you are afraid of overflowing, you will think of the rivers and seas; Lepan tour, then think of three drives as a degree; If you are slack, you will be cautious and respect the end; If you are worried, you will think humbly to accept it; If you are afraid of slander and evil, you will think of righteousness and dethrone evil; If you add grace, you will think without a cause and enjoy the fallacy; If the punishment is reached, there is no anger and the punishment is abused. In summary, the ten thoughts, Hongzi nine virtues, simple and can be done, choose the good and follow it, then the wise do their best, the brave do their best, the benevolent broadcast their benefits, and the believers serve their loyalty; Civil and military contention, the monarch and the minister have nothing to do, you can enjoy the joy of Yu travel, you can raise the longevity of Song Qiao, and the piano hangs down, and it goes without saying. Why bother thinking hard, taking the place of the subordinate, serving the eyes and ears of wisdom, and doing nothing?

After the eunuch finished reading, there was an uproar again in the court, no one expected Liu Xi to write such a masterpiece, and he was even more bold and straightforward, it was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, but if it was himself, he was afraid that he did not have the courage.

Although this is a dangerous move, but now that he has won a dragon's face and great joy, he must be the champion of today's department, and it is difficult to make peace and progress.

With Li Shan's previous actions, the rest of the scholars couldn't help but plummet, and it was half an hour smaller, and what was written was presented, and after reading, the top three were determined.

"That's them."

Li Shan put down the pen in his hand, the old eunuch bowed down and took the yellow silk cloth in his hand, walked down the stone steps of the high platform, and when everyone didn't know the reason, he opened his throat and said, "In the third year of Kaiyuan, Liu Xi, the champion of the Jinshi Branch!" ”

Outside the hall, the voices echoed one after another.

"In the third year of Kaiyuan, Liu Xi, the champion of Jinshi Branch!"

"In the third year of Kaiyuan, Liu Xi, the champion of Jinshi Branch!"

"In the third year of Kaiyuan, Liu Xi, the champion of Jinshi Branch!"

……

The sound lasted for a long time, and in the morning light that had just broken out, it dispersed towards Jialing City, which had just woken up from the silence.
