Zhu Lin carried a food basket with a backpack on his back and walked to the courtyard with 10,000 characters written on it, there were a few small officials in front of the courtyard gate, and Zhu Lin handed him the bamboo card forward. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info a small official handed Zhu Lin another bamboo sign, which said 10,000, No. 21. There is also an exam basket with three candles and several sheets. Zhu Lin walked into the courtyard and began to look for where was the No. 21 building? It turned out that the number houses in the courtyard were also lined up. There is a row every five feet, and there are three rows, which are Li, Peng, and Cheng. Zhu Lin walked to the row of houses with the word 'li' written on them, there were lanterns hanging at the door, and the little clerk guarding the door looked at the bamboo signs. opened the door and let Zhu Lin in. Walking to the number 21 building, Zhu Lin paused, put down the two baskets, opened the fence door and walked in. Since Zhu Lin came in through a special channel, not many students have entered the examination room now. In front of the word 'Peng', a few rows of houses came from Lang Lang's endorsement. Zhu Lin shook his head. There will always be a privileged person! The building is very narrow, with two bricks protruding from each side of the wall. There are two planks on the top and bottom, the upper plank is placed on the brick as a table, and the bottom is used as a chair, and the two planks are put together as a bed when you sleep at night. After Zhu Lin put the two planks together into a bed, he took out a tarpaulin from his backpack and covered it on the fence gate. The torn futon was laid out haphazardly, and he lay down in this place where he could only curl up and sleep.

Before dawn the next day, Zhu Lin woke up early and hurriedly ran to the 'dung'. The 'dung' is located on the left side of this row. On the way to Zhu Lin, he took a closer look at the number houses here, and hung a dead wind lamp every two houses. The candidates inside were all asleep. Zhu Lin calculated the time, and it was more than four o'clock at this time. There are still a few hours left before the exam papers are issued. Zhu Lin flipped over the sign at the door of the 'dung number', which said Gong Gong. Zhu Lin arrived inside and played happily. After pulling it, he hurriedly ran to the right side by the door, where there was a large water tank and fetched a bucket of water. After washing up a little. I ran to the small wooden bed to continue to catch up on sleep. After sleeping for more than an hour, Zhu Lin woke up, and at this time many candidates had already gotten up. Some hurried to go to Gong, while others began to cook there, talking about where the charcoal fire came from. In each house there was a charcoal brazier, in which charcoal was burned. On the opposite wall of the house, there was a small hole, and a small stove made of clay was placed in it. Zhu Lin put the small copper kettle he brought in the charcoal brazier and waited for the water to boil. There he admired the group of students who were anxious to go to the 'dung'. Zhu Lin dismantled the bed and turned it into a stool and a table. also boiled water, Zhu Lin ate two small pieces of compressed biscuits and drank a few sips of boiling water. And then he just sat there in a daze. Until a gong sounded, an examiner shouted there: "Candidates enter the dormitory and prepare to receive the papers." Then there was the sound of how many candidates and how many numbers of candidates were taking the papers. After a while, he walked to Zhu Lin. Zhu Lian saw a group of officials wearing crimson official robes and black gauze hats coming over. There were also a few eunuchs wearing blue and black python robes in the middle, as well as a few brocade guards. The group walked to the front of Zhu Lin's house, where a young official in a green robe sang: "No. 21, take the volume." Zhu Lin stood up and took the test paper. It was placed on the table. He glanced up at the group of officials. Seeing this, Zhu Lin was taken aback. There is not only an old man named Mr. Liu who I met a few days ago, but also an acquaintance of Zhu Lin. said that it was an acquaintance, and Zhu Lin could recognize that person who turned into ashes. This person is the original garrison of Sicheng. It's the one who whipped Zhu Lin. actually put on the costume of the brocade guard, and followed behind with his toes proud. It doesn't seem to be very high. Zhu Lin glanced at Mr. Liu, who may have a high status, wearing a three-mountain hat with tassels on both sides, and a black embroidered gold four-clawed python robe. Walking in second place, the first is an official wearing a crane complement, with a white beard. It's a little shaky to walk. glanced at the sign on Zhu Lin's house. muttering something in his mouth, he walked over. Mr. Liu and Zhu Lin glanced at each other, smiled, winked at Zhu Lin, and walked over. Zhu Lin watched the two of them walk over, lowered his head, and opened the roll there and spread it on the table. Didn't look up again. The original Sicheng garrison took a look at Zhu Lin's house, glanced at Zhu Lin, who was making rolls, and walked over. The voice of the little official's roll call came all the way. But I can't bother Zhu Lin anymore.

Not to mention that Zhu Lin was surprised when he saw those people, and when he opened the test paper, he was even more surprised. This test question is nothing else, it is one of the several test questions that Li Zhi gave Zhu Lin. To tell the truth, let Zhu Lin make these eight-strand essays, Zhu Lin has to die. I guess I can't do it even if I die. Because Zhu Lin didn't know it at all, Zhu Lin originally wanted to hand in a blank paper. or copying a passage from the Four Books and the Five Classics to deal with the past. Now, hehe, Li Zhi has given the answer. According to Li Zhi's answer, Zhu Lin solved the question, undertook the topic, started to speak, started, started to start the shares, middle shares, back shares, and bundled shares in one go. Zhu Lin finished writing it with enthusiasm, and he didn't rush to hand in the paper, Zhu Lin didn't want to be wonderful, this volume was sent down, and it was not half an hour before you made it. Instead, there the roll was rolled. Set aside. Assemble the planks into a bed and continue to sleep. Although it was not very comfortable to sleep on. Still groggy and asleep. At night, after getting on the 'dung number' once, I still continued to sleep. There's nothing to do anyway. Even if you hand in the papers, you are not allowed to go out.

At night, Zhu Lin was sleeping there. In the red-walled and glazed tile palace, under the eaves of the corridor outside the emperor's bedroom, King Yi and several ministers waited there with anxious faces, and wave after wave of imperial doctors penetrated in. The palace maids and little eunuchs kneeling on the ground outside. In the dormitory, the emperor of the Dahua Dynasty, oh! Huang Gongzi, who met Zhu Lin that day, was lying on the bed, coughing there constantly, and every time he coughed, a large mouthful of blood would come out of his mouth. That Mr. Liu was constantly wiping the emperor there, and a white-bearded imperial doctor was there to check the emperor's pulse. Several imperial physicians who had finished the pulse were muttering and discussing the emperor's condition.

The white-bearded imperial physician did not say a word after taking his pulse, walked to the middle of the group of imperial doctors, and after discussing the condition, he turned his head and said a few words to Mr. Liu, and beckoned a few imperial doctors to take the little eunuchs to decoction the medicine quickly. King Yi stopped the imperial doctor outside the door and wanted to ask about his brother's condition, but the imperial doctors did not dare to say, and after saluting the righteous king, they hurriedly left the decoction.

After the imperial doctor left, the young emperor forcibly held back his cough and summoned Mr. Liu to his side: "Liu Daban, I know that my dragon body is not much time. Go and call the righteous king. I have something to say to him. The rest of the ministers let them disperse!"

Mr. Liu knelt on the ground and said, "Holy Lord, please be relieved, the imperial doctor said just now that this is an attack of wind and cold, and it can be cured by taking a few doses of medicine." If they can't cure the saints, the old slaves took off all their heads. After saying that, he kowtowed heavily on the ground a few times. He got up, wiped his tears, and walked out with his back back. He walked to the door and shouted: "The Emperor's Holy Body is healthy, summon His Royal Highness King Yi, and the rest of the ministers please return." ”

The ministers knelt on the ground and shouted three times and then retreated.

King Yi followed Mr. Liu into the dormitory, knelt in front of the bed, and kowtowed. Seeing my brother lying on the bed coughing up blood, tears couldn't stop flowing. He took the handkerchief from Mr. Liu's hand and gently wiped the blood coughed up by his brother. "Lift me up," said the Emperor. King Yi and Mr. Liu helped the emperor up, and the emperor was half-lying on the bed. "Liu Daban, go outside and see why the medicine hasn't been fried yet. Mr. Liu explained a few words to the little eunuchs who recorded the emperor's life on both sides, and withdrew with an embarrassed face.

The emperor grabbed King Yi's hand and said, "My brother, it has been eight years since we escaped from the northern capital! ”

King Yi nodded. There are no words. The emperor continued: "When the capital was broken, our younger brother had the impression on the way to escape, thinking about the royal bloodline, only you and me and the eldest sister were left. The eldest sister was nowhere to be found on the way to escape. This has also become a regret in the heart of my brother. promised to be a brother, and when you have a chance, you must find our eldest sister. ”

King Yi nodded. Don't dare to speak. The emperor paused and said, "My time is running out, I want to do something, but God doesn't give me this opportunity." My brother, you have arranged all those things for Zhu Lin! I think back then, if it wasn't for Master Zhu's answer, we would all die and have no place to be buried. Our father is fine, but in the end, he is a little confused, and he doesn't need to let a capable minister like Master Zhu go. But with those villains. Since his brother ascended to the throne, he has been given a marionette like a hanging string, and nothing has been accomplished. Shame on the ancestors and ancestors for my brother!" After speaking, the emperor secretly wept there.

Thinking about the suffering of this brother of his all the way to escape from the northern capital. The righteous king could not help but weep there. King Yi choked up and said, "Brother, I've suffered you all these years. The younger brother saw it in his eyes! The younger brother did not do anything more, and let those people provoke him to take the position of the elder brother, and the younger brother felt deeply guilty. The brother's difficulty, the younger brother has no help, the king of righteousness, living in Sicheng, the younger brother often asks himself. However, before the younger brother was crowned king, the younger brother had not completed the work entrusted by the younger brother. The wealth of the rich rival of the country, as well as the jade seal of the country, have not been found! Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has not found it, and the younger brother is even more ashamed of the elder brother. The age of the weak crown of the brother, the immature shoulders, the rule of literature and martial arts, carried a piece of the sky of the Dahua Dynasty. Merit is unparalleled. ”

The Emperor smiled bitterly and waved his hand, interrupting the righteous king's desire to continue. said: "Don't mention those sycophants, my brother knows how much he can do." Brother, tell me the story of your visit to Sicheng! It doesn't matter if you find that wealth or not, and it doesn't matter if you find the jade seal of the country. The important thing is, how do you think of the three brothers Zhu Lin, are they up to the task?"
