CHAPTER XVIII

In the twenty-second year of Hongwu, August 23.

Yingtianfu, the Forbidden City, outside the Fengtian Gate.

The sky is slightly bright.

The civil and military officials waited in front of the courtroom.

"Zhan Yushi, I have to let you out of the limelight today, then the "Song Fengyang School Book" is really well written."

"My lord said that I didn't write the paperwork, I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha."

"Haha, it's good to please Your Majesty, Your Majesty is now paying more and more attention to Fengyang Mansion."

Despite the discipline, the civil servants could not help but whisper. After all, outside the Fengtian Gate, the guards didn't look too closely.

Bang, bang, bang.

The three-way drum sounded, the two doors were wide open, and a team of officers and military flag schools took the lead in entering the arrangement.

The civil and military officials also stood up, and lined up in front of the left and right doors according to their grades.

Wen left and right, with the sound of the bell to enter, in the south of the Jinshui Bridge, and wait for the whip to sound, in the whip in turn to cross the bridge, into the royal road on both sides of the waiting.

Outside the Fengtian Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered.

Behind the hundred officials, there are captains holding swords in each other's rows.

This is the difference between Zhu Yuanzhang and other emperors, generally speaking, the civil and military officials wait in the palace, and then the emperor ascends the throne.

But here in Zhu Yuanzhang, he sat down first, and then the hundred officials came in.

I have to say that under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, entering the Fengtian Palace, the pressure of the courtiers was quite great.

You must always be careful about your direction, if there is chaos, it will naturally be reprimanded, or even beaten.

Therefore, when the ministers entered, they basically lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly.

As the music sounded, in a whip, a "class" was sung.

Hundreds of civil and military officials rushed in.

They all entered the royal road to salute, and after the mountain shouted long live, they thanked him.

Outside the Fengtian Palace, the pennant is displayed;

In the Fengtian Palace, hundreds of officials stand solemnly;

Before the hundred officials, the crown prince Zhu Biao and the prince Zhu Li stood in turn.

At this time, the voice of the chant also sounded:

"Something to start, nothing to retreat."

……

Fengyang Mansion, the gate of the Shu King's Mansion.

Today is the seventh day of Song Yi's coming, rounded up, it is the first seven of "him".

Song Yizheng yawned in a daze, preparing to go to the gate of the government to see the list.

He was drunk yesterday, but now he has not eased up, and in the morning, he only went out of the house with the help of Lu Honglang.

But this will be a lot more sober, and his misty eyes seem to see a person hurrying towards him.

rubbed his eyes, only to see that it was Zhu Chun.

Zhu Chun stepped forward and said in a somewhat questioning tone: "You did that last night?" ”

"What's the matter? I'll talk about it after watching the list. Song Yi responded a little impatiently, he had a headache and didn't want to recall.

looked up at Zhu Chun's eager eyes again, thinking it was the poetry club's mess.

Then he said weakly: "I should have done it." ”

"But you will offend the Duke of Xinguo to death." Zhu Chun said excitedly, then shook his head helplessly, and sighed:

"Forget it, it's not your fault after all, I'll figure it out."

Song Yi didn't understand at all, this poem slapped Tang Yu's face, and he was offended to death? Is the heart of the prince of the country so small?

Looking at Zhu Chun's face like a bitter gourd, he asked puzzledly, "What's wrong, is it so serious?" ”

Zhu Chun said with a calm face, "Can that not be serious?" How can you call Jinyiwei to go, now there is no room for maneuver in the matter. ”

Song Yi seemed to hear it, and this didn't seem to be the same thing as what he was thinking.

Under Zhu Chun's puzzled eyes, he carefully asked about the ins and outs.

Song Yi realized that someone was trying to mess with him, he didn't carry this pot, he shouldn't be able to carry it.

hurriedly explained: "This matter has nothing to do with me, I drank in the restaurant last night, and everyone else can testify." ”

Zhu Chun paused when he heard this, looked at Song Yi's expression, and said thoughtfully: "Well~ Yes, this reason is perfect, remember, don't let others see the flaws." ”

With that, he hurriedly turned around and went home.

Song Yi stood in place in a daze, still a little stunned, and under the urging of Lu Honglang, he got into the carriage in a daze and went to the mansion.

Song Yi thought all the way in the car, and always felt that this thing was weird, his eyes turned forward from time to time, and he felt that Lu Honglang was a little weird today.

"Do you know anything?" Song Yi cleared his throat and asked in a deep voice.

Lu Honglang didn't respond, and after a while, he replied to the question:

"Here we are, Childe."

With a word, Song Yi's chaotic thoughts were taken back, and he could still distinguish the priorities.

Distraction at such times is going to be bad.

After adjusting his thoughts, Song Yi slowly got out of the car.

At this time, the head of the government was already full of people.

Because there are not only reference students, family members and people who watch the excitement, but also many people who look at the list of professions.

The so-called professional watchers are all gang battles, with a dozen people at least and dozens at the most.

Each performs its own duties, some are responsible for squeezing into the circle to watch the list, and some are responsible for holding pen, ink and red paper in the periphery.

Once the name is known, the person who reads the list tells the person the name to the writer, and then writes the text of the annunciation on red paper.

Then there will be pre-arranged people to alternate relays on various roads, all the way to the home of the person who has taken the test, and then ask for money to make a profit.

After all, the results of this test are going to show off their talents, which is a serious fame, and of course there will be many people who will take advantage of the opportunity.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Song Yi also led Lu Honglang, jumped into the crowd, and slowly squeezed forward.

But in the open space in the square in front of the door, more and more people gathered, and they all squeezed forward desperately.

Song Yi, who was under pressure, couldn't stand it, so he had to throw his eyes at Lu Honglang for help.

Lu Honglang didn't speak, just silently lowered his head and glanced at it a few times, and suddenly, a small open space flashed in the crowd.

"Huh, this Wang Yongnian hasn't come yet, don't you know something." After getting a little free, Song Yi said suspiciously.

But as soon as these words fell, Wang Yongnian walked out of the palace.

When the crowd saw Wang Yongnian coming out, they automatically flashed out of a way.

Song Yi looked at Wang Yongnian carefully, looking at his expression, he was quite happy, he probably didn't know what happened to the poetry meeting.

Immediately relaxed, let him be happy for a while.

After a while, a few gongs sounded, and two lines of small officials came out of the gate of the government office, and in front of everyone's eyes, they posted the list on the wall of the government office.

It's on the list.

Seeing the list, the crowd flocked together, bound to occupy a favorable position and grab a head incense.

The next time the list was crowded.

Song Yi was not flustered, he stuck to Lu Honglang, and forced a way.

He felt that Wang Yongnian should not give himself a good ranking, mostly at the end of the crane.

Before he could get forward, he heard a loud shout from the front: "The head of the case, Tang Yu Tang Gongzi!" ”
