After the vernal equinox, the days get longer and the days get brighter and brighter.

Five drums and three o'clock, about six o'clock in the morning, the sky was pitch black for the first two days, but now it has turned from black to dark blue.

Under the light of some skylight, Liu Chenxing and his brother Liu Qingshan wore brown robes and white linen clothes, and rushed to the palace.

In fact, it stands to reason that the palace test should be held in the Taiji Palace behind the imperial city, but since Emperor Gaozong of the Shen family moved to the Daming Palace, its activity center has been changed from the Taiji Palace to the Daming Palace.

The empress was accustomed to living in Daming Palace with Emperor Gaozong of the Shen family, and after ascending the throne, she continued to live in Daming Palace and listen to politics and watch the court.

Therefore, the examination room for today's palace examination was arranged in the main hall of Daming Palace-Hanyuan Palace, which is also the place where civil and military officials rushed to the early court.

Of course, although the political center of this dynasty was transferred from Taiji Palace to Daming Palace, according to tradition, edicts such as amnesty and Yuan change were still issued at Chengtianmen of Taiji Palace.

And Taiji Palace and Daming Palace are built next to each other, all belong to the category of the palace city, even if you do not need to go through the imperial city to enter the Daming Palace, the middle bearing of the imperial city Tianmen Street, is still the heavenly street that the world's scholars flock to, after all, there are major central government offices located in the imperial city.

A month ago, in the provincial examination, the crowd walked on the heavenly street and admired the solemn majesty of the Chengtianmen of the Taiji Palace.

Now that they are about to enter the political center of a big country, they are one step closer to their goal in life.

If so, when the brother and sister arrived, outside the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace, more than 20 candidates who passed the provincial examination this time were all there, waiting to enter the palace test.

Rao is not yet dawn, and he can clearly feel the indescribable excitement of each of them.

yes, how can you not get excited.

Learning and excellence is a scholar, studying hard in the cold window, the so-called is just one day to serve the monarch in the court, enter the phase, and show his ambitions.

Now I don't even need to wait for four years, I don't know if I can stay in Chang'an to serve as a Beijing official after the election of a half-official position, most of the time I will go to the local county to serve as a county lieutenant, and spend all day in all kinds of trivial civil or criminal cases, and then be responsible for collecting harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the spring and autumn, and I don't know how many turns I have to play in the position of county lieutenant in various places, so that one day I can step into Chang'an again, become a courtier, and serve the monarch to discuss politics, maybe I can't be a Beijing official in this life.

That's really a lifetime official, and I don't know what the saint Long Yan looks like.

However, today's temple examination is written by a saint, and it is invigilated by a saint.

In other words, they will be able to face the saints immediately, and they will be able to stand on top of the court immediately!

Even if it's just today, even if you have been traveling all over the world as a county lieutenant all your life, you should have no regrets!

Of course, most of the people who have been local officials all their lives are the sons of petty officials or the children of poor families with unconnected backgrounds, but for the well-dressed children, it is also an infinite honor to be invigilated by the saint and participate in the first palace examination, and their hearts are still filled with excitement.

More importantly, this provincial examination is the fairest examination in history, and the twenty-eight people selected, no matter what kind of background, their own knowledge is at least above the level, they are not afraid of the temple examination, and even faintly hope to pass the palace examination to make their ranking more one, or take this opportunity to win the favor of the saints, and since then they have been on the rise.

With all these thoughts, they were not very hostile to Liu Chenxing, who implicated them to retake the exam, and Liu Wensu, who proposed to increase the palace exam.

After passing the provincial examination again, the waves swept the sand, and there were only 28 of them who were eligible to participate in the provincial examination, including three female lifters, and one-third of them were the three generations of ancestors who were incorruptible.

This is exactly what is said: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

There are two female lifters at the scene who have arrived one step earlier, and some know the two, knowing that one of them is the niece of Ouyang Neishe, and the other is the noble daughter of the British government.

Naturally, Liu Chenxing's reputation is too loud now, and everyone recognized Liu Chenxing first, and then recognized Liu Qingshan, who was in the same company, and they were fried all of a sudden.

"Look, that's Liu Chenxing!"

"I remember, she was the little lady who cooked mutton soup in the exam room!"

"Alas! Although she is a little lady, she also left my big men behind the first place on the gold list. ”

Hearing this, the outside of the Danfeng Gate, which was boiling for Liu Chenxing's arrival, suddenly fell silent.

Although it is already the middle of spring, it is still cold in the morning and evening, and when it suddenly calms down, it is very clear, only the cool breeze of the early morning is heard.

Wen is not the first, those who can stand outside the Danfeng Gate are all well-known talents in their respective circles, and even enjoy the reputation of the first son of a certain state.

Many people think that they did not perform at their best in the provincial test, and it may not be impossible to compete for the top spot today.

I also saw that Liu Chenxing was really a young lady with a young face, and the concept of thousands of years could not be changed overnight, even if today's saint is a woman.

All living beings, there are those who think that Liu Chenxing cannot be underestimated, and there are also those who despise women, after a moment of silence, they took the lead in snorting coldly: "Who has not lost a hand, but actually raised the morale of a little lady and destroyed his prestige!" If you are so unambitious, you might as well quit the palace exam early! “

After speaking, his chin was raised, and he was proud, and said: "On the day of the provincial test, it was cold and windy, and I was sick to take the test." Now that it is the middle of spring, I am no longer trapped in the influence of the weather, and I must compete for the top spot today! “

If the first one expresses his ambition, he might as well have a second one, and in the blink of an eye, many people have responded, and many people said that they want to compete for the top spot!

But in the end, they took into account the relationship between Liu Chenxing and King Wei, and there was an uncle who was close to the Son of Heaven, and he didn't come forward to say anything more to Liu Chenxing, not to mention that there were good men who didn't fight with women, and they were too concerned about the length of the competition, which was really ungentlemanly.

Xiao Sisi didn't have this bother, she walked up from the crowd, and said: "Liu Chenxing, although you will win the top spot in the provincial examination, I am bound to win the first place in the palace examination!" ”

The tail fell, the palace door suddenly opened, and the palace trial came!

Xiao Sisi didn't say anything more, glanced at Liu Chenxing deeply, and turned to leave.

She is a detriment to her friends and a detriment to her brother.

Liu Qingshan joked: "Ah Xing, you are the top of the list, but you are being targeted by many people. After a pause, "Unfortunately, although the ranking of the provincial test for my brother is outside the top ten, my brother still wants to compete for the top spot." As he spoke, his eyes looked at the open palace door, his eyes full of ambition.

With such ambition, it is not that Liu Qingshan thinks very highly of himself.

But those who can pass this year's provincial exam, in fact, the level is not low, and Cewen is also tested for on-the-spot response and their respective opinions, and each of the twenty-eight of them has the possibility of winning the top spot.

Liu Chenxing listened to Xiao Sisi and her brother successively write war letters, she clenched her fists and looked at the wide open palace door.

I'm sorry.

At the top of the palace exam, she is bound to win!
