Early in the morning, four or five carriages stopped at the gate, and the butler stood in the middle of the courtyard shouting at the top of his voice, "Hurry, hurry, hurry up."

Mrs. Mu stood in the hall, kept turning the Buddhist beads in her hand, watched the people move the wooden boxes into the carriage one by one, and told "Be careful, don't fall behind."

It has only been less than ten years since the first time the Huangkou Yi Exam was held, and Xuan Xuan was fortunate to be the first person to take the exam in Baifu, and he was also the youngest in Baifu. The general, Mrs. Mu and even the people of the whole province also attached great importance to this examination.

After a while, everything was fully equipped, and the general took Mrs. Mu and Xuan Xun into the first carriage.

Eleven, twelfth, fourteenth, seventeenth, and nineteenth young men rode in the second and third carriages, respectively.

I was standing in the middle of the moment, thinking about the carriage in the end, when the seventeen young man lifted the curtain and beckoned to me, and whispered, "Mr. Su, get on our carriage."

I smiled at Seventeen Shao, and when I turned my head, I saw Nineteen Shao again, he also lifted the curtain, smiled at me, and threw me another look, and I immediately understood.

The two carriages didn't know who to choose, and they were worried, and I heard the mystery call to me, "Sir, sir, come quickly." Mrs. Mu also shouted, "Sir, come here, the carriage is leaving."

This time, there was a little guy squatting in front of the carriage as a footstool, I didn't want to step on it, but I saw that I couldn't go up, I couldn't let the general pull me, I thought about it, so I had to lift my leg and step on the back of the little guy and get into the carriage smoothly.

Since I came to the White Mansion, I have not met the general very often, and he often shuttles back and forth between the palace and the palace, or stays in the training grounds. The last time I saw him, it was because of Azu's business, I confronted him in public, didn't give him the steps, and desperately protected Azu. He was very dissatisfied with me and had a lot of opinions, but he didn't dare to do anything to me because of Mrs. Mu's face.

The imperial palace is divided into the south palace and the north palace, which are located in the north and south of Luoyang City respectively, and the two palaces are connected by a double road, and the examination is arranged in the Changde Hall of the north palace.

The wheels rolled left and right, and finally through a wide corridor, and after about two or three incense sticks, the carriage stopped. The servant girl in the car shouted outside, "The general and the lady have arrived."

The general Bai Zhanqi got out of the carriage, and then took a hand to take Mrs. Mu and Xuan Xuan out of the carriage together.

I also got out of the carriage with the maidservant, and when I looked up, the Changdeok Hall was resplendent and brilliant, and it was in front of me.

Then the carriage stopped all the way, all the people got off the carriage, our group passed through a door, a line of etiquette, on both sides were mighty and persistent soldiers, I walked in the middle of the crowd heart thumping, dizzy, one foot high and one foot low on the flat and wide road, very nervous for fear of a little difference, after all, the Son of Heaven is not far in front of me, sitting high on the temple.

The hall is three zhang high, surrounded by the water of the cuicui pond, the trickle is not stopped, the jade steps are wrapped in the Zhu Liang, the cloud altar is all made of the pattern stones, the wall is decorated with colorful paintings, gorgeous and colorful, the golden pillar takes the beautiful golden fruit as the bait, presents a picture of living and working in peace and contentment, fruitful image. It is said that this hall can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

In front of the hall are two palace maidens, one is the motherly world, graceful and luxurious Queen Xue, and the other is the beautiful and gentle and considerate Song Guifei.

Our group bowed in unison, and Emperor Jin laughed and excused himself. Then he sat on the left side of the temple.

On the left side of the hall sit the three provinces, which are Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, Shangshu Province, and the commanders and prime ministers of the three provinces, Taishi and Taifu, and the row on the right is the children and grandsons of the princes and grandchildren of the court.

In the middle row sat in a neat row of candidates from all over the country who came to take the exam. They were all half-grown children. A pair of small eyes looked straight ahead, full of surprise and infinite anticipation.

There are heavily armed guards at the door, and all the fathers and aunts who accompanied their children to take the exam are stopped at the door, so that they can wait for the good news with peace of mind.

The gate slowly closed, and all the halls were seated, and after the monitoring officer had finished distributing the papers, he stepped forward and said, "Tell the Holy Lord, the hour has come, and the examination can begin."

Emperor Jin got up from the dragon chair, stretched out his arms, and said loudly, "Huangkou Yi Examination, officially open the examination."

The children are writing on the paper. I stretched my neck to look at Xuanxuan, and Mrs. Mu, who was sitting next to me, also stretched her neck to look at Xuanxuan opposite, one hand kept turning the Buddha beads, and the other hand secretly reached out from under the table to hold my hand, although I was not as nervous as Mrs. Mu, but looking at so many children, I also sweated.

Looking at the rest of the people, they were also very nervous, sitting cautiously, even the seventeenth young man, who was the most active on weekdays, held his breath at this time and stared at the direction of Xuanxuan, and found that I was looking at him, glanced at me, and turned his head to look at Xuanxuan.

Emperor Jin sat on the dragon chair, as if looking at the world, looking down at the children who were writing seriously, with a rare kind smile in his eyes.

After the first written test, the next step is for the Holy Lord to ask questions and answer them. First of all, the princes and grandsons, and then the children and grandchildren of the famous ministers in the court.

When it was Xuan Xuan's turn, I saw him calmly get up from his seat and drive away.

Bai Zhanqi, the general sitting in the audience, hurriedly stood up, looked at Mrs. Mu on the left, and then at Mrs. Mu on the right, coughed lightly, and put his hand on the back of Mrs. Mu's hand. The audience was silent, everyone held their breath and looked at Xuan Xuan with small eyes that were full of anticipation.

Xuan Xuan looked at Mrs. Mu, who gave him a smile and turned her head to look at me. I looked forward to the bright light and smiled brightly, which means to go and show my hands to everyone. The Xuanxuan heart knew that the god led the stride to the front of the hall and bowed down to Emperor Jin.

Emperor Jin raised his hand lightly and said, "Flat." Looking at Xuan Xuan, he smiled and said, "I heard that you have read the Four Books and the Five Classics, and today I will test you, what is good."

Xuan Xuan stood up straight, opened his mouth and said: The good is like water, and the water is good for all things without fighting. Dealing with the evil of all people, so it is more than the Tao. Dwelling in a good place, a good heart, a good heart, a good word, a good word, a good governance, a good work, and a good time. The husband is indisputable, so there is no especially.

Listening to the fact that Emperor Jin's face gradually showed a satisfied smile, he asked Xuanxuan, "What you just said is as good as water, and water is good for all things." What people are evil is therefore more than the Tao. Why do you mean that, but tell us all about it."

Xuan Xue also said: "It means that water is good at helping all things, and does not compete with all things." It stays in places that are not liked by the people, so it is close to the Tao."

Emperor Jin asked again, "What does it mean to live in a good place, have a good heart, be kind and benevolent, be good in words and letters, govern well, do good things, and move well."

Xuan Xue also said, "The virtuous person should live like water and be humble, his heart should be as deep as water, his friends should be as deep as water, his words should be as sincere as water, his words should be as orderly as water, his affairs should be as omnipotent as water, and his behavior should be as standby as water."

Emperor Jin's interest was aroused, and then he asked, "The husband is not fighting, so there is no especially."

Xuan Xuan looked at Emperor Jin, put on a disdainful expression and said, "Shengshang, don't you even know this, let the minister tell you。。。。。。 ”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Zhanqi, he took a few steps forward and knocked on the hall, and said earnestly, "Holy Lord, please forgive your sins, just now the minister's brother was open-mouthed, and there are many offensives of great disrespect, it is the minister's lax discipline, and I hope that the saint will be gracious."

Emperor Jin smiled and said, "The general is too worried, they are all half-grown children, and today is the exam, there is no need to be limited to the number of etiquette, and the exam is important." Then he said to the occult words, "Go on."

Xuan Xue went on to say, "That is, we should all have no quarrel with all things like water, and only do good deeds and good deeds, so that there are no troubles."

I'm listening to how energetic Sensei is below, and Xuanxuan, this little Tai Sui, not only learns well, but also uses the gourd to draw a scoop and expound his own point of view.

It's just that when Xuan Shi said the last explanation, a trace of darkness flashed on the general's face, as if there was a sense of helplessness and depression.

Emperor Jin was on the rise, and couldn't help but get up and walk to Xuanxuan's side, with a satisfied expression on his face and eyes, and asked Xuanxuan, "What else have you learned?"

Xuan Xuan shook his head and said, "The king is subordinate first, the father is subordinate to the son, the elder brother is subordinate to the younger brother, the elder is subordinate to the young, which means that the monarch is subordinate to the lord and the subordinates, the father is subordinate to the master, the elder brother is subordinate to the younger brother, and the older is subordinate to the lord and the younger is subordinate." Heaven and earth are humble, and the position of gods is also; Spring and summer first, autumn and winter later, the order of the four seasons also".

After returning to his seat after taking the exam, the seventeen young admirers whispered to Xuanxuan, "Little brother Xuanxuan, you are too powerful, are you still there?"

Xuan Xuan said happily, "Of course, I know more than that, I'll tell you when I return to the house."

Seventeen Shao nodded and whispered, "Okay, I'll wait."

I sat on the side and my happy heart was about to pop out, this little Tai Sui was hanging on weekdays, either climbing trees or going up the wall, I didn't expect to read so much.

I thought that the exam would be completed in this way, but I didn't expect Prime Minister Hao, who commanded the three provinces, to give Xuan Xue another question, and he said to Xuan Xuan, "All things are turned into things, the sprout area has a shape, the killing of prosperity and decline, and the flow of change." The heaven and the earth are gods, and there is an order of respect and inferiority, and the situation is humane! The temple is still pro, the court is still respected, the township party is still toothy, the act is still virtuous, and the order of the avenue is also, what kind of truth is this, you might as well say it to the Holy Queen and the people present."

The heart I was holding had just relaxed and was brought up to my throat again, and a pair of eyes were fixed on Xuanxuan, hoping that something would not go wrong with him.

Xuanxuan, this little Tai Sui, has a good memory and quick response, and a mouth is like a surging river out of control, and his mouth is like a hanging river, saying, "It means that all things change and are born, and there are differences at the beginning of germination, and each has its own shape; The order of prosperity and decline, this is the flow of things changing. Heaven and earth are the most sacred and mysterious, and there is still a sequence of respect and inferiority, succession, the temple advocates blood, the court advocates nobility, the township advocates the elderly, and the work advocates meritocracy, which is the order arranged by the eternal avenue."

After explaining, Xuan Xuan turned back to me and smiled, very proud and proud. I'm happy too.

Emperor Jin laughed and said, "Okay, that's right, it's not a loss to be a rising star in my country, the children can be taught, and the children can be taught."

Empress Xue, who was sitting next to Emperor Jin, raised her hand towards Xuan Xuan and asked, "You are worthy of being the son of General Bai, you are really brave and knowledgeable, who taught you on weekdays."

Xuan Xuan stood up from his seat, pointed at me and said loudly, "It's Mr. Su."

Empress Xue looked at me with a smile on her face, and I also looked at her, but I couldn't smile on my face.
