She walked towards the front hall, and before she reached the door, she saw Lan Xiang rushing out of the house with a happy face. Seeing Tang Yao, the little girl was so excited that she was about to lose her breath, "Gong.. Childe...."

When Tang Yao saw her like this, she thought it was very funny, so she joked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Male... Son... Listen to me...."

"You're getting married?"

"No.... It's not, it's... It's...."

"Did you pick up the money again?"

"Childe!" Lan Xiang looked at Tang Yao with a rare solemnity, and then stuffed the list in her hand to Tang Yao, "Childe.. Your written test score is the first place! As if expected, Tang Yao was not too surprised, just took the list in Lan Xiang's hand, scanned it casually, and put the list away.

"Childe, aren't you excited?"

Tang raised his hand and gently tapped Lan Xiang's head, and said, "What's so exciting, didn't you win the top prize, so that you are so happy?" "What's the use of passing this written exam, don't forget that there is also the palace exam, that is the most critical step, a step that determines a person's life.

Those who can participate in the palace examination, only the top ten in the written examination are eligible to participate, and Tang Yao, who is the first, naturally ranks first. The palace examination was personally assessed by Emperor Li Nannan, but Song Qingshu would appear in the palace examination list, and Tang Yao was surprised for a long time. In fact, Song Qingshu is also very good at writing essays, but he is too cowardly on weekdays, which leads to his lack of self-confidence when he encounters problems.

If she gets serious, she will never lose to anyone, but she Tang Yao will not lose to anyone either, so she is determined to win this exam.

The venue for the palace examination was held in the Yongcheng Hall of the Imperial Palace, and Yao Yin was in charge of setting up the throne from the Yellow Case. Among the ten people who participated in the palace examination, two of them had familiar faces, they seemed to be the children of the official eunuchs who studied together in the academy, and the rest of them were known to Tang Yao, and that was Song Qingshu.

Yao Yin looked at the ten people, and then led everyone into the Yongcheng Palace. The pomp and circumstance of the palace examination was huge, and the civil and military officials were separated on both sides, and the princes and princes lived on one side. Ten yellow cases stand side by side, placed under the palace, and it seems that it is one person and one yellow case.

Tang Yao was in the crowd, and at a glance saw Li Hengyu, who had not been seen for a long time, and his cold fourth brother Li Yanhan. There are also a few unfamiliar faces, although she has not seen them, but they are also the identity of the prince and the prince. Li Hengyu saw her gaze, so he blinked lightly to show encouragement.

And Li Yan's cold eyes looked straight ahead, and he couldn't see Tang Yao at all.

Yao Yin took out the test questions set by Li Nannan from the Huang case in the palace, and then awarded them to the officials of the Ministry of Rites. The officials of the Ministry of Rites placed them one by one on the yellow case in front of the ten people, and after the scholars bowed to Li Nannan, Yao Yin distributed the inscription paper to everyone.

The test questions were distributed, and naturally there were minions who lit a pillar of high incense. Yao Yin stroked his beard lightly, and then said aloud, "Begin." ”

All the scholars opened the test questions, took the pen and began to write. Tang Yao glanced at the inscription paper distributed in his hand, which was made of fine rice paper, each page was about forty centimeters long and twelve centimeters wide, with a straight red line, which seemed to stipulate that only twenty-four characters could be written on each line.

The empty Yongcheng Hall was extraordinarily quiet, and Tang Yao unhurriedly dismantled the test questions and went to see the questions from Li Nannan. The topic seems simple, but it's not simple.

The emperor wrote: I am only a human king, and in accordance with the mandate of heaven to enrich the peace of the people, I must first take the happiness of the people as pleasure and the suffering of the people as suffering, and then fulfill my responsibilities and be worthy of it. How do you get food? How do silkworms get clothes? If both of them are also worried about what I think. The power is changeable, I don't know why it rains? Disasters don't happen, the people have enough food and clothing, and they work hard to farm and work, and they return along the way?

Li Nannan is nothing more than looking for a reasonable analysis method from the ten people of His Royal Highness on the topic of the people's bitterness and happiness, but he is at length, and in such a complex language to describe it, Tang Yao is a little speechless. Fortunately, her classical Chinese skills are quite good, and she groaned slightly, and her phoenix eyes flashed.

Write hard, think clearly, and answer questions without any difficulty.

Li Nannan sat on the dragon chair, gently sipped the tea, and threw the pair of dragon eyes at the ten people below. The civil and military officials also looked at the ten people with burning eyes, as if they were looking forward to what kind of articles the top ten outstanding talents in the written examination could make in the time of a stick of incense.

The incense ash fell, and Yao Yin announced loudly, "When the time comes, please stop writing." Then the officials of the Ministry of Rites put away the inscription paper one by one for Emperor Li Nannan to see. The emperor picked up the inscription paper in his hand and flipped through them one by one. The articles of the ten people are all outstanding, and the expressions on Li Nannan's face are sometimes relieved and sometimes dignified.

When she saw something she was satisfied with, she would point out the person who answered the question to come out and ask questions, and she sat there calmly, waiting for Li Nannan to check it.

Li Nannan carefully looked at the inscription paper in his hand one by one, until the last inscription paper, the old emperor rarely became serious. A full ten sheets of inscription paper, each page is neatly written, the handwriting is graceful and upright, but it is meticulous, secretly ethereal, Li Nannan finished reading the inscription paper with satisfaction, and a pair of dragon eyes looked at Tang Yao happily.

Immediately, he handed the inscription paper in his hand to Yao Yin beside him, and said with a smile, "Yao Qing's family, read it." ”

Yao Yin was stunned for a moment, hurriedly took the question paper, swept it at a glance and ten lines, and there was a touch of amazement on his always serious face, and then everyone listened to him and said loudly, "Tang Ziyao, a grass man, is intellectually ignorant and shallow in knowledge, which is not enough to ask questions." The grass people read the holy policy, and they are worried about the displacement of the people's livelihood when they see His Majesty's fist, and they are anxious about having enough food and clothing, which is the heart of a benevolent monarch. ”

"The grass people heard that there are three plans for the establishment of the country: there are plans that are not easy for eternity; There is a plan for the whole year; There is a plan for the time. If you want to govern the country more efficiently, you must take it from the people and use it for the people, if the people can no longer provide for themselves, they can not be reverted. This is the rule of law, chaos from time to time, covering the chaos and decay of the world. ”

......... A long article, tens of thousands of words, heard the ministers look at each other and whisper below. Li Hengyu patted Li Yanhan on the shoulder and asked him how the fourth brother was doing? Li Yanhan rarely put away his cold face and bowed his head slightly to show his approval.

Immediately, he looked at Tang Yao, such a weak man could have such a unique opinion, it was indeed worthy of the name of the first scholar of Nanshan Academy, and it was not in vain that Wei Chi Chenfeng recommended him.

Li Nannan raised his hand and tapped on the yellow case, and then said, "Tang Ziyao, as you can see, how can the country be stable and prosperous for a long time?" ”

Hearing this, Tang Yao walked out of the Huang case quickly, stood in the center of the main hall, and saluted Li Nannan very politely, "Back to the emperor, the grass people think that if you are benevolent and benevolent, you can have enough food and soldiers." Only by virtue can we stabilize society. If you obey the heavens and people, you will definitely be safe and secure. ”

"Benevolence governs the country, and the heavens respond to the people.... Well.... This is a unique insight. Li Nannan nodded silently, and then asked again, "Do you have a name for this article?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the grass people are ignorant, and the name of this article is Zhongxingfu." Tang Yao replied loudly. The voice was not big or small, but it attracted the attention of the ministers.

"Haha, good!" Li Nannan stood up suddenly, looked at Tang Yao with admiration, and said, "According to me, the name of this year's new department belongs to you Tang Ziyao!" Yao Yin! ”

Yao Yin hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Weichen is here!" ”

"I'll leave the rest to you!"

"Wechen obeys."

A song of Zhongxing Fu, the reason is for the country, but it is for the people, and Li Nannan talked about the country's social and social affairs, and talked deeply about the concept of governing the country in his opinion, which won Li Nannan's praise, and appointed the champion Lang as Tang Yao! As soon as the emperor made the final decision, no one dared to question anything.

The capital is hung with a list, the upper end wants to fly the dragon, the lower end of the clouds, mountains and fog seas, the title of the gold list is the name of Tang Ziyao, the emperor personally gave the champion mansion, tens of thousands of taels of silver treasures, and sent the good news to the New Tang Mansion with the Ministry of Rites. Tang Yao was wearing a champion red robe, wearing a golden flower black gauze hat, holding a hand-picked holy edict, and straddled a red-maned horse with a golden saddle, parading the streets in the lively call of beating gongs and drums.

The streets and alleys were full of people, and the people wanted to see the youngest new official in the history of Qiyun Kingdom. But seeing the soldiers opening the way, the man in red sitting on the red-maned horse, his phoenix eyes were as clear as water, and there was a beautiful mole on his right eye, which made his Qingjun appearance more and more feminine, and his expression was warm and easy-going.

All the people admired in their hearts, what a champion with clear eyebrows. The young women in the crowd couldn't help but blush when they looked at Tang Yao's beautiful bearded phoenix eyes and handsome eyes like pools, and for a while, Tang Ziyao's name once again caused a sensation in the capital.

Tang Yao looked at the gorgeous champion mansion in front of him dumbfounded, and wondered if he was dreaming. Such a large mansion is simply an ancient mansion! Two stone lions sit at the door, the vermilion door is tall and **, the plaque is hung high on the door of the house, and the word 'Tang Mansion' is written in big characters like flowing water.

Entering the house gate, it is a zigzag verandah, and the stones under the steps are spread into a road. Gardens, pavilions, pavilions, and countless side rooms are all available, compared to the house he bought for two hundred taels, it is simply a villa and a grass house. Looking at Lan Xiang, who was also stunned beside him, Tang Yao hurriedly coughed softly.

"So surprised to do what, this is the special treatment of the champion." Tang Yao glanced at Lan Xiang with some disgust, this girl is really uninformed, she looks like she came from the countryside, she has never seen the world! But she didn't seem to have any reason to say that someone else, someone from the countryside should be her.

knew that the emperor would give the mansion in person, so she didn't spend money to buy it, causing her to waste two hundred taels of worship.

"The old slave greets the champion." An old voice came from outside the door.

Tang Yao looked for a voice, it was a middle-aged man in a blue cloth robe, with a medium build, a square face, seemingly ordinary, but a pair of old eyes were shining.

When Tang Yao saw that the other party was older than herself, she wanted to salute her, she was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the middle-aged man up, "There is no need for so many courtesies, may I ask the old gentleman?" ”

"The old slave is the housekeeper in this house, and the adult can call the old slave Uncle Liu."
