Chapter 158: Face Saint
It's just two people, it's just two people.
Zhao Lingyun continued to comfort herself like this, and only then did she suppress the grief and anger in her heart.
It's really hard for him to imagine that he is also the number one talent in Zhubei County.
Today, Chunqiu is a popular candidate for the top three.
How could he be so humiliated in a small restaurant!
What kind of people are these southerners, and they have such talents?
It's unbelievable.
But fortunately, there are only two people who are so demonic, Shen Liangfu and Zhen Renyi.
However, the next scene made him almost stunned.
I saw that the commander of the Golden Wuwei stepped forward, took out a list, and began to recite.
"Chen Chuge, Zhou An... Huang Zutai. β
I actually said the names of eight people in a row!
Seeing this scene, Zhao Lingyun suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Even the people behind him turned white with their lips, and a look of disbelief appeared on their faces.
"Ten of you, early tomorrow morning, you will follow me into the palace to face the saint, and play in front of the Jinluan Palace."
Rumble!
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned on the spot, and it was difficult to let go for a long time.
After a short silence, there is the ultimate hustle and bustle!
"Ten people! Ten people! β
"My God, there are ten candidates in my south who can enter the palace and face the saint!"
"God bless me in the southern literary world, God bless me in the southern literary world!"
Compared with the hustle and bustle and fanaticism of the people around her, Zhao Lingyun only felt that her brain was blank, and they were very noisy.
Sure enough, the joys and sorrows of people are not the same.
"Brother Lingyun, didn't you say that you are expected to be in the top three?"
"What's going on now? Is it possible that you are going to be kicked out of the top 10? β
Seeing Zhao Lingyun's appearance of a dead father, Chen Chuge couldn't help but step forward to mend the knife.
Who would have thought that this knife was directly pierced in Zhao Lingyun's heart.
made him feel that his blood was surging all over his body, his head was hot, and he fainted from such a hard anger.
"Brother Lingyun! Brother Lingyun, what's wrong with you? β
"If you just go, how will your sister-in-law be good?"
"Alas, since this is the case, the younger brother will be burdened and take care of you for it, which can be regarded as repaying you for taking care of you on weekdays."
Burst.
Looking at the scene in front of them, Zhen Renyi and the others couldn't hold back and laughed again.
But this time, no one asked him why he was laughing.
β¦β¦
In the early morning of the next day, in front of the Jinluan Palace, the sun was rising, and the golden glow was sprinkled all over the earth.
The high-pitched and shrill voice of the shouting eunuch came again: "Go to court!" β
Hearing this, hundreds of officials rushed in.
Everyone had different expressions on their faces, but more or less, with a little expectation, as if something big would happen today.
Above the court, Emperor Renxuan is still sitting on the dragon chair.
Below, there are tripartite factions headed by Wei Qing, Yang Huai and Zhang Lang.
Balance each other and restrain each other.
This has created a seemingly stable situation above the court, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent.
"Something to start, nothing to retreat."
Although the voice of the attendant eunuch is not as good as that of the shouting eunuch, it is still loud, and it is close to the emperor, and it is high and powerful.
It is the eunuch in the palace, the coveted position.
After all, today's saint is a generation of Ming monarchs, and when appointing official positions, he pays attention to meritocracy.
As long as you are really talented, then you don't look at your background, and the poor family is on the same level as the family.
For example, above the court today, Zhang Lang and Zhang Taiwei, who are ranked as the third duke.
Although he was born in a family, he is a eunuch after all.
It stands to reason that there will be no future in this life.
Not to mention being in such a position as the third public!
But here with Emperor Renxuan, as long as you have real materials, then everything is possible.
And Zhang Lang was a eunuch at the beginning, and after showing his talents, he was promoted to officialdom by the current saint, and then rose step by step, and finally came to his current position.
Among them, the hardships are not enough for outsiders, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are models for all the eunuchs of the Daqian Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the fraud of Lord Hu Yanhu's imperial examination has not yet been thoroughly investigated." Yang Shao stood up and reminded.
"Well, then let's do as we agreed that day."
"Did Jin Wuwei find those ten southern candidates?"
"Back to Your Majesty, after the Spring Festival is over, most of the candidates who are expected to be named on the gold list will not return home, but will stay in the Qiandu City and wait for the palace examination."
"So Jin Wuwei found these ten people that night."
"Xuanzhi."
"No!"
"Xuan, the southern candidates enter the hall!"
Outside the Qiande Palace, the sharp and loud voice of the shouting eunuch sounded again.
Shen Liangfu and the others, who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, heard this, and immediately came to their senses, straightened up, and walked towards the palace under the guidance of the foreman and eunuch.
"This eunuch shouting salute is really a hard job, shouting like this day and night, and his throat must not be broken?"
"That is, there are so many dignitaries and dignitaries in this palace, and they all need to be served by the father-in-law. Who knows how difficult it is for fathers-in-law? β
"The boys are southerners, I haven't seen any big scenes, and I don't know if this meeting with the saint is a good thing or a bad thing, and I hope my father-in-law will mention a thing or two."
As he spoke, Shen Liangfu shook the hand of the foreman eunuch.
A few silver ingots hidden in the sleeves of the shirt are full of weight.
Seeing this, the foreman eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then quietly let go of Shen Liangfu's hand.
It's just that the silver taels in his sleeves are gone.
Then, under the gaze of Shen Liangfu and the others, the foreman eunuch just shook his head, didn't say much, and walked forward.
Seeing this, Shen Liangfu's face became gloomy.
"It seems that going to the Jinluan Palace here is not a good thing."
"Remember, be careful with your words and deeds later."
When Zhen Renyi and the others heard this, they also nodded with heavy faces.
It stands to reason that after receiving the money, you have to do things.
But the foreman and eunuch just shook his head, indicating that the action of shaking his head is the answer in itself!
And not a good answer.
After entering the Qiande Palace, Shen Liangfu saw Zhu Guizi of the Manchu Dynasty, saw the carved dragon and phoenix on the Optimus Stone Pillar, and saw the majestic and majestic Emperor Renxuan on the dragon chair.
For a while, it is inevitable that my heart will fluctuate and I will be excited.
If I didn't have a teacher, I really don't know how long and what month I would have to learn to get to where I am today.
"Grass people Shen Liangfu, knock to see Your Majesty!"
"Grass people Zhen Renyi, knock to see Your Majesty!"
β¦β¦
"Excuse me, flat." Emperor Renxuan's golden mouth and jade words, after spitting out four words, he stopped speaking.
"Do you know why I called you here?" Zhang Lang, who was wearing a crimson official robe, stood up and said.
"The grass people are stupid, but there is a slight guess that it is probably related to the examination."
"Yes, you are waiting for ten people, ranking among the top eleven in this examination!"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Liangfu and others were inevitably happy in their hearts.
Haven't you studied hard for decades for today?
The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the dry flowers in one day!
The Jinluan Palace is right, you are a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven!
Today, these rare achievements in Shilin are almost within their reach.
How can they not be excited?
However, the next moment, Zhang Lang's words completely shattered this excitement.
"What a bold man! Dare to cheat in the trial! β
