Luoyang Palace, a middle-aged man in a dragon robe. Stroll through the back garden, surrounded only by an elderly eunuch.

The emperor looked at the flowers in the garden and sighed: "In the past, I lived in the East Palace for thirty years, and I was sorrowful and experienced hardships every day. I thought that everything would be fine when I ascended the throne this year, but when I sat down, I realized that it was so difficult."

When the eunuch heard the emperor say this, he quietly moved back a distance and stood behind like a log.

While talking, I feel that there is less person. The emperor looked back, and the eunuch hurriedly took a few steps forward.

Seeing the eunuch coming over, the emperor continued: "The envoys of the Liao State are about to enter Beijing, and the crowd is excited about the government and the opposition, and the voices of the war are endless. The prime minister and the six Shangshu, they don't know the real situation of the court now. In recent years, natural disasters have continued, and the people have been suffering day by day. The treasury is empty, how can it fight. It's a pity that there is no one in the huge court who can really share the worries with the emperor."

A horse-drawn carriage galloped outside Luoyang City and stopped outside the city gate. The carriage was followed by four horsemen, and all but one was one, and the other three were two. Sima Zhao and the three turned over and dismounted and walked to the carriage.

Urging Yiyi to get out of the carriage, Liu Sheng hurriedly resigned when he saw this: "Now even outside Luoyang City, I would like to ask Sister Yiyi for my resignation."

"Luoyang is not far from Chang'an, if you have leisure, you can come to Chang'an." Yu Yiyi hurriedly invited.

Jia Fu also hurriedly resigned: "Sister Yiyi, take care."

"I wish Miss Yiyi a smooth journey," Sima Zhao said the same.

Urging Yiyi hurriedly replied: "Please also take care, Yiyi is in Chang'an, waiting for you to come as a guest at any time."

"Uncles, don't forget Bao'er in Luoyang. If you have spare time, Bao'er is looking forward to seeing your uncles in Chang'an as soon as possible" urged Huaiyuan to hear the farewell between them, and hurriedly advised.

After saying that, he urged Yiyi to get into the carriage, and after a while, the carriage galloped away again. Watching Yi Yi go away, Jia Fu said with some reluctance: "Life is scattered, and it can always make people sigh at the limit."

"You think you're reluctant, look at ......" Liu Sheng patted Jia Fu on the shoulder, and Jia Fu followed Liu Sheng's gaze to Sima Zhao.

Sima Zhao was dumbfounded, looking at the back left behind by the carriage, his eyes showing a complicated look. For a moment, I forgot everything in this world.

A team of 300 alien cavalry, under the banner of the Liao State, was led by an envoy whistling past. Like a boulder thrown into a small lake, Luoyang instantly boiled. A famous man in the city, walking quickly through the crowd, suddenly heated up. The impassioned voice is endless.

"This dynasty treats us and other scholars preferentially, which is rare in ancient and modern times. For example, today's disasters are continuous, and the people are suffering day by day. The Liao people intend to take advantage of the fire to rob and blackmail our dynasty, and they deceive people too much."

"This thief is fierce, bullying the weak and fearing the hard. We must not allow him to be satisfied and encourage his greed. It is better to be broken than to be complete. Whoever is willing to accompany me to the death to repay the kindness of this dynasty."

"There are millions of people with armor in this dynasty, all of whom are elite soldiers. It's just a barbarian, what a way. It's a pity that above the court, the princes of Gon are glorious. They are all afraid of the enemy like tigers, and they shame our scholars."

"At this time, it is a time of national crisis and internal and external difficulties. We scholars should serve the court and express our hearts directly. The hundred officials are afraid of the Liao people and dare not ask for war, it does not mean that we are also afraid...... I am in China, why am I afraid of death, I am willing to follow my brother to die."

"I am willing to die with my brother......" The huge petition voice came from the crowd. A group of celebrities and gentlemen rushed towards the gate of the imperial city.

"Brother Sima, where are we going...... here." Jia Fu looked at Sima Zhao, took them to keep turning around, and asked puzzledly.

Sima Zhao looked at the restaurant in front of him and went to the Zhuangyuan Building. Facing Jia Fu and Liu Sheng, he smiled slightly: "This is it, let's go in."

Liu Sheng and Jia Fu hurriedly followed Sima Zhao in, and the restaurant didn't look too big at first. The building is very lively, and a group of scholars discuss current affairs or poetry and songs. I don't know who shouted "Petition the Northern Expedition, return my Youzhou".

After this voice, the scholars in the restaurant. Hurriedly poured out and joined the already large petition team.

Xiao Er watched the three of them come from the door, originally listless. But when they got closer, they found that Sima Zhao and Liu Sheng were dressed as scribes, and their faces immediately smiled: "The three of them are here to stay in the hotel?"

"There are three of us staying in the hotel". Sima Zhao replied.

Xiao Er's smile became a little thicker: "My guest officer is less than thirty years old, but he came to participate in the imperial examination?"

"Well, I'm here to participate in the imperial examination." Sima Zhao looked at Xiao Er's smile, and the questions were one after another, and there was a lot of continuity.

After Xiao Er heard Sima Zhao's answer, he then asked: "May I ask a few guest officers, where are they from?"

Jia Fu felt endless when he heard the questions, and said to Xiao Er without annoyance: "Do you have a place here, keep asking endlessly."

"Objectively angry, our restaurant has had a rule for generations, and anyone who rushes to take the exam is under the age of 30. If you ask a few words in this inscription, leave a little ink treasure. The shop is willing to waive all fees for the lifter and his entourage." Xiao Er's face was full of smiles, and after speaking, he pointed to the wall directly behind the lobby, which was densely covered with names.

When Sima Zhao heard Xiao Er's explanation, he didn't say anything and walked towards the wall. Xiao Er hurriedly took out a pen from the counter, and Sima Zhao took the pen and wrote: Sima Zhao and his friends, Liu Sheng and Jia Fu moved into the Zhuangyuan Building. Kaiyuan, the first year.

Xiao Er saw Sima Zhao's handwriting, and his face was full of smiles. Personally took them to the back of the restaurant, behind which was a row of courtyard courtyards. Xiao Er looked at the courtyard in a row and asked Sima Zhao: "The courtyard here is the property of our restaurant, and since Mr. is here to catch the exam, how can he let these mundane things mess up." The villain is bold to call the shots once, and the environment here is elegant. Why don't you choose a house to live in, Mr. is here?"

"Since that's the case, it's hard to ......" After speaking, Sima Zhao was not polite, and pointed to a set casually. Xiao Er hurriedly led them in, and then gave them the key and said, "If Mr. is hungry, you can go to the restaurant for dinner." Tonight, we will hold a poetry party, Mr. Wang, be sure to appreciate the light."

"Well, I will definitely go to the meeting then." After Sima Zhao answered, Xiao Er withdrew.

At this time, Liu Sheng carefully looked at this set of courtyard courtyards, and the courtyard was clean and tidy. A set of stone tables and chairs, bonsai on both sides of the road, and a bamboo forest behind the courtyard. Seeing this, I couldn't help but praise: "This place is elegant and secluded, and it is really a place to study with peace of mind."

"Whatever, the most important thing is free." Jia Fu didn't understand this, but he knew that it was free, and his heart was very happy.

Sima Zhao suddenly smiled and said: "Ah Fu is not wrong at all, the main thing is free."

"You guys......" Liu Sheng smiled and shook his head helplessly.

Jia Fu heard Liu Sheng smile bitterly and argued, "Did I say something wrong? It's free."

"When you say that, I'm hungry." After Sima Zhao finished speaking, he exaggerated and touched his stomach.

Jia Fu immediately reacted: "Let's go, what are we waiting for." All the fees of the restaurant are free, and the overlord meal is still in such a high-end place. Just standing and thinking about it excites me."

After Jia Fu finished speaking, he pulled Liu Sheng and Sima Zhao and walked towards the restaurant.
