There are three major palace groups in Chang'an, namely Taiji Palace, Daming Palace, and Xingqing Palace.

From Chongrenfang to the west, across the street is the palace wall of Taiji Palace;

To the east, Guoshengye Fang is Xingqing Palace. Xingqing Palace is the former residence of the current emperor before he ascended the throne, which has been continuously expanded in the past twenty or thirty years, and is now a huge palace complex that occupies two squares.

From Chongrenfang to the north to three miles, through the place of three squares is the Daming Palace that stands on the dragon head plain. Since Gaozong, the emperors of all dynasties have been living in the Daming Palace, listening to the government.

Li Ang and the others followed the officials of Yizhou Mansion and Xianggong, and they were going to Daming Palace. From Chongrenfang to the north, the place where you pass through several squares are all mansions and mansions, the high pavilions are lined up, the eaves rub the clouds, and most of the people who live are the princes and grandchildren, and the dignitaries and dignitaries.

Each square has a square wall, and according to the regulations, each house is not allowed to open the door on the street, but this is not the case. Li Ang walked all the way and saw many wealthy mansions, all of which were split the wall and opened the door, the tall stone lion in front of the door looked down on the people passing by, the freshly dressed servants on the steps, and the BMW incense car came and went, which was an indescribable precious scene.

Finally came to the main gate of Daming Palace, there are three words "Danfeng Gate" on the door, towering and magnificent; There are five holes under the door, which are guarded by a large number of mighty janissaries. The officials of Yizhou Mansion went up to negotiate first, and Li Ang and the others were able to enter the imperial city on foot.

In the imperial city, there are three major halls of Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Palace, and Zichen Palace. Hanyuan Hall is the most magnificent building in the whole Chang'an, towering majestically, overlooking the entire Chang'an City.

After the Hanyuan Palace, there is a huge palace group that can not be seen, it is said that it is more than four times larger than the Forbidden City of Beijing in the Ming and Qing dynasties, magnificent and solemn, and the weather is thousands. As far as the eye can see, it is really a palace that has been opened in nine days. All nations are crowned.

There are not a few people who come to the Ministry of Rites to submit documents, family petitions, and settlements to protect the local tributes and disciples, and everyone seems to be very cautious. I didn't even dare to speak out loud, but there was a lot of excitement in my expression.

When I arrived at the Ministry of Rites, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were recording their names and making records, and everyone lined up in two rows in turn, taking the document and family certificate to register, and there were soldiers next to them to maintain order, and no one dared to mess around.

When it was Li Ang's turn, the tall and thin official of the Ministry of Rites read his explanation. Looking up at Li Ang carefully, he asked, "You are the Yizhou Mansion?" ”

Li Ang said, "The student is exactly. ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites did not speak, and then when he looked through Li Ang's family, his brows immediately furrowed, "What's the matter with your family?" Your name is Li Ang, why did your ancestors have the surname Hua for three generations? ”

The so-called family status is actually the family situation, and in addition to filling in your own place of origin, you also have to fill in the names of the three generations of your ancestors.

Li Ang hurriedly replied, "That's right. The student was abandoned when he was still an infant, and my master adopted me, and I took my master's surname Li. Later, after the death of my master immortal, I had nothing to rely on. A family surnamed Hua in Shangxi Village, Xipu County, Yizhou Prefecture, took me in again, and I joined Shangxi Village in the name of reporting the third generation of the Hua family. ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites gave him a faint look. said in an official tone: "Your situation is quite special, and you have to ask Xipu County to open another manual." It's okay to stamp it with the county seal and send it, and you can come back next year. Next! ”

Leon didn't expect to be stuck here. He tried to explain: "Isn't this cousin, the student who has passed the county examination and is beneficial to the state capital's literary understanding, is this the best proof? Why do I need to issue a separate certificate? ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "What are you yelling at? The imperial examination is a major event of the country, and it is necessary to strictly prevent treacherous people from mixing in it, you can't even tell the three generations of your ancestors, if the official lets you pass, won't it mess up the rules of the court? ”

At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted, including the other officials of the Ministry of Rites, as well as the lifters who came to report and the armor soldiers who maintained order.

In front of everyone, being reprimanded like this, Li Ang was extremely unhappy, he endured it and said: "Dare to ask this hall official, which rule of the imperial court did the student violate?" ”

The imperial court did not explicitly stipulate that Li Ang was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not expect Li Ang to dare to refute in public, and couldn't help but be annoyed and ashamed: "Look at your sharp teeth and sharp mouth, you dare to run into an official in public, you must be a traitor!" You can't even explain the three generations of your ancestors, how can you prove your innocence? Someone, escort this person out! ”

Tang Yu came out at this time and said: "This cousin, please calm your anger, Li Ang is a good learner for Yizhou Mansion, he has been abandoned on the side of the road since he was a child, and his bleak life is already sympathetic, in this case, the name of the third generation of the Hua family that he reported for naturalization is also reasonable, and I hope you will be accommodating.......

"Accommodating? The official acts impartially, and you let the official be accommodating? Who are you? Do you still want to participate in the imperial examination? The official of the Ministry of Rites didn't wait for Tang Yu to finish speaking, and immediately even scolded him.

Tang Yu didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly apologized.

Li Ang didn't have much hope for this imperial examination, but at this point, he didn't want to be angry anymore, so he picked up his own explanation and family statement and said: "This sir, do you dare to tell your name and position?" ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites asked with some surprise, "How are you doing?" ”

Li Ang said calmly: "The student is going to go to Kuangyuan to redress your grievances and ask about your name and official position, just to facilitate the writing of the complaint; Of course, if you don't dare to tell the complaint, it doesn't matter, this complaint can also be written. ”

"You!" The officials of the Ministry of Rites had never encountered such a bold candidate, and their faces turned green with anger, "You Diao Min! Sure enough, it's not a good person, you have to sue the official, right, you just go, the next one! ”

This conflict caused the officials passing by to stop and watch, and the official of the Ministry of Rites didn't seem to want to make a big deal about it, so he even called the next one to step forward.

Li Ang didn't want to make any more trouble, so he turned around and went to the courtyard. Kuangyuan belongs to the province of Zhongshu, in order to advise the doctor and make up for the que, and pick up one person as the envoy. Set up a square letter, painted on all sides of the four sides of the blue dan, white and black, every day in the evening and morning out, listed outside the office.

All subjects who have talents to recommend themselves, make up for their mistakes, redress grievances and defend falsehoods, and make offerings and praises can be classified and surrendered. Leon was so embarrassed, but he didn't plan to leave it at that.

He had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Oh, isn't this Li Langjun?" ”

When Li Ang heard the sound, he looked back and saw Yu Chaoen walking down from the corridor on the left side of the Ministry of Rites with two little eunuchs. Li Ang's heart moved, and he turned to meet him and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Yu, I really didn't expect to meet your father-in-law here, father-in-law has always been okay?" ”

Yu Chaoen had a spring breeze on his face, and said enthusiastically: "It's okay, it's okay, Li Langjun, ...... you are" Yu Chaoen was a little unsure why Li Ang suddenly appeared in the imperial city.

Li Angchang said: "Father-in-law Yu doesn't know, he finally passed this year's county examination and government examination, and obtained the Yizhou Prefecture Township Tribute Quota........ ”

"Why is Li Langjun worried, tell our family what's going on?"
