Chapter 352: The Palace Examination (1)
After Gu Chengyu and the others left, a Lang Zhong came to the study with a medicine box.
Lang Zhong touched the pulse and frowned silently. After a while, he sighed.
"Lord Wang, the old man remembers telling you before, that pill should not be taken too much, if the prince insists on going his own way, in the end, I am afraid that the old man will not be able to do it." Lieutenant Lang took his hand away from King Jing's wrist and was very displeased.
Any Lang Zhong will also be very annoyed if he knows that the patient does not take care of his body. That pill was very harmful to the body, and if you take it too much, even people who are healthy will not be able to bear it. Every time he eats it, he will drag his body down, even if he has an antidote.
When King Jing heard this, he glanced at the flowers looking out the window, and then turned back to Lang Zhong and said, "Don't worry, Lin Lao, this is the last time, please prescribe medicine!" ”
"I also hope that the prince will keep his promise, and when the five-year period is up, the old man will be able to regain his freedom. If the prince doesn't take care of his body, after the old man leaves, I'm afraid that no one can heal him. ”
Lang Zhong was full of arrogance when he said this, and his medical skills were enough to make him proud. When the time comes, he will leave. If King Jing was dragged down by the pill, then even he couldn't do anything.
"This king is naturally full of his word, Lin Lao can rest assured."
"Lord Wang! Your medicine is ready. Xiao Chengzi entered the study, and King Jing quickly shut up. Lang Zhong covered the medicine box, did not salute, and went directly out of the study.
"Lord Wang, you are good-natured. That Lang Zhong is so unreasonable, and he is so rude when he sees you. Xiao Chengzi put down the medicine bowl in his hand and muttered to King Jing.
King Jing smiled, this time he didn't shirk, picked up the medicine bowl on the table, drank it in one gulp, and then wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.
"People who have the ability have some tempers, so don't care."
Xiao Chengzi happily watched King Jing finish drinking the medicine, and then thought of something again.
"Lord Wang, Miss Xi ......"
King Jing waved his hand, "This king knows, there is no movement in the garden, and this king has already guessed that Xi'er didn't succeed." Gu Chengyu is really difficult to deal with, so he spent so much thought on him in vain. ”
Xiao Chengzi felt that his prince also valued Gu Chengyu too much, in his opinion, Gu Chengyu was just a young man with a literary and elegant voice, how could the master say that he had such a city government?
King Jing knew what Xiao Chengzi was thinking at a glance, and he took the transcribed "Qingyu Case" on the table in his hand and tasted it carefully.
"Do you think that just with Hu Maoshen, you can get Guo Shi's confession?" He had already sent someone to keep an eye on Guo Shi, and he originally planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but if the third child was implicated, there would naturally be one less candidate. Who knew that Guo Shi was rescued later, and he didn't let people interfere, compared to the third child, it was still more difficult to deal with the boss.
Xiao Chengzi was a little surprised, "Does the prince mean that Gu Chengyu did it?" ”
He was a little incredulous, Gu Chengyu was not an official of the court, how could he know what happened in the Taihe Palace?
On April 21, the temple examination.
Gu Chengyu and Ye Zhiqiu finished freshening up at two o'clock in the morning and rushed to the palace in a carriage.
Ye Zhiqiu was a little restless, he looked at Gu Chengyu who closed his eyes and recuperated, and finally couldn't help but say: "Chengyu! Aren't you nervous at all? ”
This time, Sun Xian was missing from the exam, and along the way, only he and Gu Chengyu were with him to the end.
Gu Chengyu knew that Ye Zhiqiu was nervous, and then comforted: "You were not bad in the ranking of the general examination before, and the re-examination has made even more progress, so you don't need to worry about this palace examination." Relax, as long as it is not out of order, the second class should be nine out of ten. ”
After Ye Zhiqiu came to the capital, he immersed himself in hard study, and the teachers in the academy were very optimistic about him. In the past, when I was studying in a private school, I was always unable to learn something, but now when I go to the academy, I have integrated the knowledge of teaching yoga, and my progress can be described as rapid.
Wen Fuzi has long been optimistic about Ye Zhiqiu, but it is a pity that his talent and learning are limited. He also told Ye Zhiqiu that if he went to a higher institution and found a knowledgeable person to teach, he would not bury his talent.
As for Gu Chengyu, he is different from Ye Zhiqiu, Wen Fuzi thinks that he can be self-taught sometimes, and with the teaching of famous teachers, there is no need to worry at all.
Ye Zhiqiu was comforted by Gu Chengyu's words, and he was much more relaxed than before. The palace examination will basically not be dethroned, unless you write really bullshit, otherwise a fellow jinshi is always indispensable.
However, Ye Zhiqiu's rankings in the general examination and re-examination are very high, and he also understands that as long as he takes the test according to his usual level, he should be able to enter the second grade.
After figuring it out like this, Ye Zhiqiu calmed down. When it comes to the future of the future, no one is exempt from vulgarity. After five levels and six generals, they finally reached the last level, and after this time, they were the officials of the Dayan Dynasty.
No carriage was allowed in the palace, so Gu Chengyu and the others could only get off the carriage at the palace gate. Looking at the long road ahead, Gu Chengyu's eyes were full of determination, this was the last exam, and he was about to enter the court.
Gu Chengyu and the others walked for a small half pillar of incense before they walked to the Baohe Palace, and when Gu Chengyu walked, he slandered in his heart, this time was completely wasted. Walking in the palace, even the sedan chair taken by the minister can only go to the inner city of the palace, and the rest of the way has to be walked.
Gu Chengyu followed the officials in front of him into the Baohe Palace, and then was guided by the officials of Honglu Temple to line up on both sides of His Majesty. According to the ranking in the examination, those with odd numbers will be ranked east, and those with even numbers will be ranked west. Gu Chengyu is a test yuan, so he naturally stands in the east.
The topic of the palace examination is the question of the emperor's order, and it has long been placed on the yellow case on the east side of the palace by the examiner and the cabinet official.
"The emperor has arrived!"
With the sound of the eunuch's sharp and feminine voice, music was sounded outside the hall, and all the officials and new tributes bowed to the emperor three times and nine times.
Gu Chengyu knelt down and kowtowed with the crowd, but he didn't dare to look up at the emperor's appearance. After all, everyone's heads are bowed, if he is alone, doesn't it seem very abrupt?
After the ceremony, the emperor returned to the palace. During the exam, the emperor will not guard. Of course, on a whim, it may come and go.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites began to disperse, and the tributes knelt down before entering the temple. Gu Chengyu found his own test table and sat down at the table.
Gu Chengyu did not rush to open the exam paper, but began to sharpen the ink. Put the exam paper away from the ink first, so as not to splash on the exam paper when the ink is sharpened, and there is really nowhere to cry. This is also Gu Chengyu's habit before every exam, if he doesn't grind the ink delicately, he won't be able to write.
Gu Chengyu had no distractions, and no matter that other candidates had already started writing in a hurry, he still grinded the ink smoothly without any hindrance.
Open the exam paper on the table, first fill in the name, age, place of origin and three generations of resumes on the first page of the exam paper, and then start to read the questions.
