Chapter 225: The Golden Palace

Xian Yuzhi reviewed the candidates' test papers overnight, even if he could use all his heart, he was still tired and stared in front of him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But no matter how tired he was, he couldn't stop the joy in his heart, and he gave a thumbs up with both hands after seeing Tang Ao.

"Lord Tang is talented, I used to think about finding a suitable position for Lord Tang, but now it seems that this horse is worried about the sky, and he has little confidence in Lord Tang, so he should be punished, and when the king goes to the imperial garden to give a banquet, this horse will definitely punish himself with three cups."

Tang Ao said humbly: "The horse has won the award, Tang is just rough and ink, and he has not embarrassed the horse, Tang is very pleased in his heart." ”

Xian Yuzhi patted Tang Ao's shoulder meaningfully: "That's right, Lord Tang is the doorman of this horse, and the title of the gold list is that there is light and honor on the face of this horse!" Hurry up and pack up and enter the palace with the horse, the Golden Palace trial is about to begin. ”

Xian Yuzhi said and greeted Liu Yi again.

Although Liu Yi is not a literary talent, Xian Yuzhi values Liu Yi's strength very much, in his eyes, this Xu Chengzhi knows how to advance and retreat, and is worth an excellent helper.

Of course, he had to be with him at all times, even if it was a good guard.

According to the customs of the Lady Country, Tang Ao, who is named on the gold list, wants to parade through the streets with red flowers and flowers, which is a high honor for scholars.

Riding on a tall horse to accept the worship of people kneeling on both sides of the street, and the bold man broke through the crowd, holding a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand, begging Tang Ao to leave the ink treasure and so on.

If Tang Ao didn't know the foundation of the Lady Country, he would definitely think that this was an ideal country for scholars, and it was a prosperous era of Confucianism and Taoism where everything was inferior and only high in reading.

But through Liu Yi's analysis, all this is just a façade.

The essence of the Lady Kingdom is just to use the power of the whole country to warm and enshrine the remains of the human emperor, so that the Lady royal family can use it for their own use.

The scribes on the streets are like countless ants, and what they do in life, old age, sickness and death has no meaning to themselves.

The morale of the Lady Army will never be low, in fact, there is no morale at all, so how can it be said that it is low!

They may be living in an even greater mirage, and once the remains of the Emperor are gone, and the army of the Lady Kingdom is in disarray, what will happen to these mortals?

Tang Ao was full of worries, and after two quarters of an hour, he came to the gate of the palace, and dismounted with other high school scholars to wait for the summons of King Shu Rong.

Outside the palace, there was no noise, but there were still scholars whispering to each other, talking about the next palace examination.

As soon as the palace test passes, these scholars will be divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the top three in the Golden Palace are undoubtedly the names that all scholars are hot for.

"Tang Gongzi, congratulations." Cao Shuang walked up to Tang Ao gently, and bowed his hand and said: "The younger brother has seen Tang Gongzi's article, it is really extraordinary, and Cao has benefited a lot. ”

Tang Ao promised on his lips, but he was a little slanderous in his heart.

Cao Shuang seems to be suave, has a wide range of friends, and has no shelf at all, but in his bones, he is not clear about the connection with the prince Shu Yuming.

Yes, Liu Yi said that the national teacher and the king are one, could it be that the king of the next generation of ladies is Cao Shuang?

Shu Yuming is a cultivator, can the lady country still take turns?

Xian Yuzhi heard Cao Shuang praise Tang Ao, pursed his lips and smiled: "Cao Gongzi's article can also be called a shocking ghost, and it has been appreciated by a cadre of examiners. ”

"You're welcome." Cao Guang saw that Xian Yuzhi was talking in a weird way, and knew that this colt had always disliked him, so he simply kept silent.

didn't wait too long, as the palace door was opened, the eunuch announced the decree, and three hundred and sixty ladies and scholars entered the Jinluan Hall one after another.

One of them crossed Tang Ao and Cao Guang, and walked almost side by side with the eunuch Xuanzhi, which made people laugh.

Xian Yuzhi snorted lightly and said to Tang Ao: "That is the prince's protégé, it is said that he and the princess are compatriots of the same mother, and the princess's talent is very admired, but this future uncle of the country is really not flattering." ”

Tang Ao had already heard Xian Yuzhi say some of the things of the prince's protégé, such as the indistinguishability between mules and horses, the painting of cats and tigers, and so on.

Now I see with my own eyes that there is really a lack of heart, such a product is actually set as the second place in the list, it is indeed a bit ridiculous in the world, and it is really insulting to Sven.

In the Jinluan Palace, it was arranged as a small examination room at this time.

Three hundred and sixty new scholars sat down next to each other under the guidance of the eunuch Gong'e, and then the civil and military generals of the Shushi Kingdom lined up on both sides.

There was a purple-red stool at the bottom of the golden dragon chair, and the prince Shu Yuming was sitting on his knees, and when he saw that the people were almost coming, he got up and shouted: "The auspicious time has come, please ask my father to go to the palace to preside over the palace test." ”

The sound of drums followed, and in the melodious music, two rows of palace ladies came out first, followed by the canopy and jade roof.

There was a person standing under the umbrella of Yunluo, whose appearance was somewhat similar to Shu Yuming, but more majestic.

His eyes swept around the Jinluan Hall like electricity, and no one dared to look at him, even Liu Yi, who had ill intentions, lowered his eyebrows and was very respectful.

Shu Rong came to the dragon chair and said while sitting down: "You stand out among the 100,000 scholars, you can be called the pillars of the country, the future of the lady country is in your hands, and I hope that you will work together to ensure the prosperity of my lady country for all eternity, and lay the legend of the world's largest country in the mirror flower." ”

"We will work together to die for the country, and we will not hesitate to break our bones." More than 300 new science and technology scholars stood up and saluted, and said in unison.

"I'm very relieved." Shu Rong nodded with satisfaction: "The palace test follows the ancient rites, and the test question is a certain palace test paper from the time of the ancient emperor, and let me see how the ministers of my shares compare with the sages." ”

After Shu Rong finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the chief eunuch held a lacquer-sealed brocade box and put it in front of Shu Yuming, who opened it with his own hands and read it aloud.

"Those who are good at using people in ancient times will follow the heavens and follow the people and know the rewards and punishments. Follow the sky, then use little effort and make a difference; If you obey the person, the punishment will be omitted and the order will be carried out; In this way, it is white and black. The minister who governs the country serves the country to fulfill his position, and he can be appointed to the official position......"

After the question of the palace exam was finished, Shu Yuming ordered someone to reverse the hourglass time, and when all the fine sand in the hourglass dripped down, it took about an hour.

The new scholars hurriedly grinded their thinking, and the talented and agile ones had already begun to write and answer the questions.

After Tang Ao sharpened the ink, the corner of his eye found that the prince's protégé wrote the fastest, and I am afraid that he already knew the content of the palace test.

I've found someone to write the article, and now it's just copying.

Looking at Cao Shuang's pen like flying, the expression on his face is very rich, because it is close, Tang Ao can see the words written by Cao Shuang in the corner of his eyes.

No matter what kind of person Cao Shuang is, his talent is first-class, and he even has a feeling of being ashamed.

After the ink was polished, Tang Ao closed his eyes and pondered, and only began to answer the question after about a quarter of an hour.

The reason why the lord is in danger of the death of the country is that the minister is too expensive and too powerful.

The so-called nobles are unable to do it, and those who manipulate the authority of the country and facilitate their own personal interests. The so-called authority is also the one who is powerful and light.

These two must not be overlooked. The reason why Fuma can lead the car to the distance is because of the strength.

The lord of ten thousand vehicles and the king of a thousand vehicles rule the world and conquer the princes, with their might. The mighty one, the strength of the human master.

Today, the minister is powerful, and the left and right are powerful, and it is the master of the people who has lost his strength; There is no one who can have a country because the master of the people is weak.

The reason why the tiger and leopard can defeat the man who holds the beast is because of his minions, and when the tiger and leopard lose their claws, then man must control it. Today's heavy people are also the minions of the masters, the monarchs have lost their minions, and the tigers and leopards are also ......

Tang Ao felt that his article was very suitable for the topic of the palace examination, and it could be said that it echoed from beginning to end, and the questions were accurate.

If there is no interference from crooked ways, it is a pity that I can be sure of winning the top position.

This time, no one rushed to hand in the exam papers, and even the prince protégé who lacked heart and eyes answered the test questions early, and still sat still honestly, probably because the atmosphere in the Jinluan Palace was suppressed!

"When."

The fine sand in the hourglass was completely reversed, and the chief eunuch coughed lightly to announce the end of the palace examination, and Gong'e put the examination paper in front of King Shu Rong.

Shu Rong's speed of reading the papers was very fast, and he read all the palace test strategies of more than 300 new science and technology scholars in a quarter of an hour, and then closed his eyes and pondered.

After opening his eyes again, he ordered the chief eunuch to bring a blank holy decree, lift the cinnabar pen and brush it a little bit.

The chief eunuch stood behind Shu Rong, and when he saw the vermilion royal approval on the holy decree, the look of surprise on his face flashed, and he subconsciously glanced at the position of the crown prince Shu Yuming.

"Proclaim the decree!" Shu Rong put down the cinnabar pen and motioned to the chief eunuch to read out the holy decree.

The chief eunuch answered, picked up the holy decree with trembling hands, and spoke in a voice that was three points sharper than just now, sounding a little harsh.

"The third place in the hand-picked palace test is Tanhua, and Tianyuan County is extremely small."

When Tang Ao heard that the third Tanhua was not himself, he subconsciously glanced at Xian Yuzhi, who was standing next to the Golden Palace.

The look on Xian Yuzhi's face was also shocked, and Tang Ao's heart chuckled.

If you can't rank in the top three in the palace exam, then you can't enter the Imperial Garden, and there will be no possibility of Liu Yi's plan being implemented, could it be that something went wrong?

"Second place in the hand-picked palace test, Cao Shuang of the Lady Country."

The second place on the list became Cao Shuang, Tang Ao remembered that Xian Yuzhi said that Cao Shuang was the champion of the internal decision.

Could it be that the crown prince Shu Yuming has been shameless to such a point, and he does not hesitate to offend the great master Cao Guang for the sake of the future uncle of the country.

"The first place in the hand-picked palace exam, Junzi County Tang Ao."

When the eunuch announced the final champion, Tang Ao was stunned.

I didn't become a Tanhualang for the second time, but I became the champion of the Lady Country, what is going on?

Was it King Shu Rong who saw through the little tricks of the crown prince Shu Yuming and the concubine Xian Yuzhi? Is the Qiangang dictatorial and set things right?

"The three of you haven't stepped forward to thank you?" After the chief eunuch read out the holy decree, he found that no one of the new Kejin priests who were called by name stood up, and hurriedly reminded him.
