Chapter 247: Paying Homage to Long Yan
Compared with the provincial test, the specifications of the palace test are much higher.
At least in terms of material security.
Candidates do not need to carry a bamboo bag on their backs, they bring their own pen and ink and dry food for the day, and the palace will provide stationery and meals for the exam.
Without the inspection of luggage, after the palace door was opened, the eunuchs who came out read out the edict of the empress to let a group of lifters enter the palace for the test, and Liu Chenxing and other lifters were directly divided into men and women under the guidance of the eunuchs and entered the palace.
Liu Chenxing was not only the youngest of the three female lifters, but also the youngest of all the twenty-eight lifters, so he was lucky to be placed first in the team.
The male lifter next to her was the first one, and he was also a young man who was not yet twenty years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a handsome little man.
Liu Chenxing glanced at the other party, thinking that the selection of officials was mainly based on body, speech, writing, and judging people, among which the body refers to the appearance of the body, which is clearly based on the appearance of the official, she can't help but think that let herself and the handsome little Langjun opposite be ranked first, because they are good-looking.
But this kind of relaxed mood can still be born when you line up at the beginning.
After following the eunuch into the Danfeng Gate, Liu Chenxing didn't know what was going on with him, and suddenly subconsciously held his breath.
The excited and excited lifters behind him suddenly became as quiet as chickens, and they took a light step and followed the instructions step by step.
Now this world is likely to be a parallel world, and there has been a deviation in the history of the last one or two hundred years.
But although the emperor has changed his seat, the historical trajectory is strikingly similar.
For this Daming Palace, which still has ruins in the ancient city of Xi'an of the Celestial Empire, Liu Chenxing walked slowly and had an indescribable feeling.
In the previous life, when I went to visit the Daming Palace Ruins Park, I saw only a bare ruins, and visitors could only know how glorious the palace was in the wilderness they saw from the guide in the form of pictures and texts next to the ruins, and then look at the model of the infinite scale of the Daming Palace, and roughly understand the structure of the Daming Palace in their minds.
Thanks to the amazing memory after the fetal wear, Liu Chenxing can now clearly remember anyone and everything he has seen once in his previous life.
At this time, as the eunuchs were guided into the Daming Palace step by step, Liu Chenxing found that the Daming Palace in this world and the ruins of the Daming Palace in the ancient city of Xi'an began to coincide one by one.
It's just that when I walked around the bare ruins of Daming Palace, I was shocked to see a sense of desolation.
At this moment, the foot is no longer the dusty rammed earth road in Chang'an City, and every step under the foot is paved with white jade bricks; As far as the eye can see, go down in a straight line along the Danfeng Gate, which is the main hall standing on the central axis of the Daming Palace - Hanyuan Palace.
The hall sits on a triple high platform, the base is 3.5 meters high, 77 meters long from east to west, and 43 meters wide from north to south......
Still far away from the first palace wall, looking at the Hanyuan Hall in front of him, Liu Chenxing's mind was like an artificial intelligence, and the text of the tourist guide map in his previous life appeared accurately.
However, the first glimpse of the corner of the Daming Palace, its majestic solemnity is not data and text introduction can be explained.
There are left and right Jin Wuwei and Beiya Praetorian Guards wearing armor around the four sides, scattered around the Daming Palace to protect the safety of the Daming Palace.
The palace people who came and went from the palace complex, as well as the Praetorian Guards wearing armor, all showed a sense of hierarchy, showing everyone that the imperial power and even the supremacy of the emperor, in addition to the Son of Heaven, all the people and even the extremely human ministers were just grass mustard under the imperial power.
When Liu Chenxing followed the eunuch all the way to the wide square under the pedestal of Hanyuan Palace, this feeling became more and more profound, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The guide eunuch finally stopped, looking at the crowd of people who didn't dare to come out, he smiled slightly, and said the first sentence after entering the palace in a shrill voice, saying: "All the tributes are waiting here, when the time comes, the saint will send an edict to Xuan'er and wait to enter the palace." β
After finishing speaking, he shook off the dust, stood aside, and said no more.
The surroundings were also quiet, and all the movers, even the children of powerful people like Xiao Sisi, who had been in and out of the court, did not dare to turn their heads to each other, and only stood quietly with bated breath.
While waiting for the empress to summon her, the sun rose from the east, and the golden sunlight shone on the vermilion palace, and the palace became more and more sacred and solemn.
The crowd watched this scene with fascination, and this scene will be immortalized in their memories for the rest of their lives.
When he came back to his senses from this scene in a daze, he found that the officials in purple, crimson, green, and blue court clothes successively climbed the temple base from the sloped masonry roads on both sides of the front of the hall, and entered the Hanyuan Hall with their front and back feet.
Liu Chenxing knew about it, so he was about to announce that they would enter.
Sure enough, when I was young, I only heard a sharp but loud voice standing on a pedestal more than forty feet high and proclaiming: "The saint announced that twenty-eight tributes are comingββ"
Under the long tail note, the guide eunuch began to lead them along the ramp that the hundred officials had walked, all the way to the abutment, and entered the Hanyuan Palace.
There were already many officials in the hall, and as soon as they arrived, all the officials looked at them with scrutinizing eyes.
What's more, on the dragon chair directly in front of you, even if you don't look up, you can notice that Her Majesty the Empress is sitting high on the dragon chair, overlooking the twenty-eight best men and women selected from all over the world.
This is a scene that has never been seen before since ancient times.
The literati who had just obtained their birth, in fact, were still white-bodied people in the strict sense, and they actually appeared in front of the emperor, being scrutinized by hundreds of officials, and overlooked by saints.
"Knock knock-" Each of them heard the sound of their own heartbeat, and many of them found that their legs began to tremble, and their whole bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, and the road to meet the saint was less than a hundred steps, but they felt that they had walked so long in their lives.
Still in a sweaty trance, I saw the three female lifters walking at the front of the team suddenly crossed their hands and saluted, shouting in unison: "The grass people meet the saint, long live the saint, long live the saint!" β
Suddenly, they woke up like a dream, and hurriedly followed the salute and shouted long live.
Before entering the palace, the eunuchs were guided to tell them, and they were asked to walk in the first row according to the three women, and the three of them followed in rows to enter the palace.
"Flat." A majestic female voice that could not be heard of her age sounded in the main hall.
I was lucky enough to be placed in the first row on the left.
Hearing the sound of the empress shouting to calm down, Liu Chenxing hurriedly took the opportunity to get up, quickly raised his head, and glanced at the empress on the dragon chair.
She, Liu Chenxing, finally saw Long Yan!
