Chapter 257: Entering the Palace Again
"It turns out that these two are Liu Buque's nephew and niece, and they all say that the nephew is like an uncle, and sure enough, they are a talent at a glance." A blue-robed official was affected by the scandal between Liu Chenxing and King Wei, and looked at Liu Chenxing curiously while smiling and complimenting.
"Liu Buque admonished the sage to increase the imperial examination, it seems that there must be a confident niece who can win the top spot again." An official in a green robe was much more direct, and snooped as soon as he opened his mouth.
The two of them said everything they had to say, and the others only echoed one or two sentences respectively, and then waited for Liu Wensu to answer.
In other words, Jia Zhang, a member of the Zhongshu House, threw the problem on himself to Liu Wensu.
Don't look at the difference between the two of them, but this is an insurmountable gap.
The five-rank officials are light crimson official uniforms, and the seventh-grade officials are light green official uniforms, which are very different in color, and their status is even more different.
In this dynasty, the five grades are high-ranking officials, and the five rank civil officials have the special honor of facing the saints every morning.
Therefore, although he knew that Jia Zhang was a disaster to the east, in the face of Jia Zhang, the direct subordinate of Zhongshu Province, Liu Wensu could only endure it, and he had to smile like a person: "I am a counselor below, and I am a counselor." Today is the imperial examination of a nephew who has nothing to do, and he will also admonish like this below. ”
As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Liu Chenxing's brothers and sisters who were accompanying him, and said, "Since ancient times, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. The twenty-eight people who participated in the palace examination today were outstanding men selected by the imperial court from all states and counties in the world, and each of them was undoubtedly a man of literary style. As a talented literati, they have their own arrogance, not only the niece below, I believe that the other twenty-seven lifters are also aiming for the top of the palace examination. Therefore, which lifter will eventually win the top spot, I really can't guess below. “
Liu Wensu still had a gentle tone, and there was still a faint look on his handsome face.
Especially his green official uniform, under the many dark and light crimson official uniforms, and even some purple official uniforms nearby, it really looks too inconspicuous.
But standing in the middle of a group of officials, it is a very ordinary remark, but it is not convincing.
There is no other reason, the words "literati arrogant" seem to be engraved on Liu Wensu at a moment, and the literati know the literati best, a jinshi who has been selected through the imperial examination is undoubtedly proud, and thinks that he is the one with the most outstanding literary talents.
Almost all of the officials around him were from the imperial examination, how could they not feel the same way in their hearts, and then look at the literati purity on Liu Wensu, which they once had, but gradually drowned in the officialdom.
It is no wonder that there are so many civil officials and officials, but in the end, only Liu Wensu entered the eyes of the empress, and after entering the officialdom for more than a year, he was promoted from a nine-rank official to a seventh-rank official in the power department.
The jealousy in their hearts gradually dissipated, and they agreed with what Liu Wensu said, so everyone didn't ask any more, but nodded one after another: "It is estimated that the twenty-eight of them are all aiming for the top of the list, and Liu Buque's niece wants to win the top spot again, and the competition is not small!" ”
The opening of the palace test has undoubtedly moved too many bigwig-level interests, Liu Wensu, the initiator, is here, and the bigwigs in purple court clothes not far away will naturally pay more or less attention, and they have heard Liu Wensu's words of response.
There is no smugness about being included under the umbrella of a saint and becoming a favored minister.
Nor has he been subjected to such hostile compliments and prying eyes, becoming submissive like a frightened bird, or being too humble to the point of hypocrisy.
He didn't even deny that his niece was coming to the top of the list, and with the mind of a literati, he quietly let the wind turn, and he naturally got rid of the disadvantageous position at the bottom of the peak.
even took the opportunity to show himself in front of everyone, making his image of a loyal official more prominent.
Sure enough, the back waves push the front waves for a long time, and the future is terrifying!
If such a person can't be repaid in time, if he can't become the same camp, he is afraid that there will be endless troubles. If you can be in the same camp, the benefits are also great.
The bigwigs in purple official uniforms narrowed their eyes slightly.
At this time, the sun rose from the east, and the dazzling golden light sprinkled in front of the Danfeng Gate, and also fell on the long and jade Liu Wensu.
The handsome and gentle beautiful man is still so wise, he is simply at ease under the confrontation that killed people just now without seeing a knife!
Liu Chenxing looked at Liu Wensu in the sun, and the star eyes couldn't help but pop up again, but in addition to worship, he sighed, with such a male god uncle, who else in the world can enter her eyes again, she is really a single mother's life.
When he turned around with emotion, he saw King Wei coming on horseback, thinking of the scandal between the two, Liu Chenxing suddenly had a bad chill, and hurriedly looked behind him as if he had never seen it.
King Wei rode on a high-headed horse, he saw everything in his eyes, and saw several purple-robed officials looking in one direction, he raised his phoenix eyes, and also looked over lightly, and saw a group of officials surrounding Liu Wensu, and Liu Chenxing's eyes were more focused and shining than when he saw the empress, obviously Liu Wensu did something to make everyone admire.
Knowing this, he was about to withdraw his phoenix eyes, but Liu Chenxing suddenly looked at it, thinking that she had found his gaze, but he didn't want to move away immediately.
Wei Wangfeng's eyes were slightly, not angry and arrogant, and then turned over and dismounted, and there were servants behind him to lead the horse.
At this time, the last morning drum on the Danfeng Gate fell.
The originally noisy Danfeng Gate was suddenly quiet, and the officials who were standing together in twos and threes also quickly adjusted their teams, arranging three columns on the left and right according to their rank and position, waiting for the palace gate to open and enter the palace early court.
Liu Chenxing's brother and sister are not officials yet, but they belong to the ranks of civil officials, and they also walked to the back of Danfeng Gate and stood up.
When he was young, the palace gate suddenly opened, and the civil and military officials above the ninth rank of Chang'an City entered in an orderly manner.
Liu Chenxing and other twenty-eight people stood behind, watching the long procession of officials divided into civil and military forces enter the palace and the early dynasty.
They lined up neatly, except for the sound of footsteps, there was not a trace of whispering, and the whole team was so solemn.
At a glance, I couldn't help but feel a sigh in my heart, it turned out that this was the scene of the early dynasty of civil and military officials.
As seen in the palace test three days ago, the grand manor is probably less than one-tenth of today's.
Will you be able to be one of them in the future?
I guess I can......
No, it has to be.
His hands clenched under the brown robe, and he silently made an oath.
At this moment, whether it was twenty-five male lifters or only three female lifters, their hearts invariably gave birth to longing.
After all the civil and military officials walked into the Danfeng Gate, the guiding eunuchs of that day finally came out, divided the twenty-eight of them into four columns and seven rows according to the seats on the day of the palace test, and led them through the Danfeng Gate again and entered the Daming Palace.
