"New Kogons enter the city!"

The official of Honglu Temple, who was in charge of maintaining order, sang loudly, then looked at Wei Chen, and made a gesture of invitation to Wei Chen.

Wei Chen saluted slightly, and took the lead in stepping into the city gate, and three hundred tributes followed behind Wei Chen and rushed in.

A group of guards on the left and right held bone golden flags, standing majestically, three hundred tributes accompanied by the palace people walked through the palace, through a section of the road, only to arrive at the destination of the trip, Chongzheng Palace.

Under the guidance of the officials of Honglu Temple, the tributes entered the hall in turn and stood up, with Wei Chen in front and the other four Jingkui behind.

The hall is burning with sandalwood, the left and right compartments come from the elegant and pleasant palace music, the tributes look at the withered beams and paintings in the hall, the gold is brilliant, and they are a little trance for a while.

There were dozens of officials standing in front of His Majesty Dan, all of them wearing red official robes and gold, silver and jade belts around their waists, seeing this, Wei Chen couldn't help but secretly take a breath of cool air.

These people, not the old Shangshu of the pavilion, but also the bachelor of the squire, stomped their feet, and the whole Great Zhou had to tremble three times.

At this time, the throne in front of His Majesty Dan was still empty, and the Son of Heaven had not yet arrived, and the important ministers of the cabinet also seemed to be more casual, talking to each other in low voices.

Dozens of majestic gazes swept in, and at this moment, many new Kegons held their breath nervously, and their hearts were uneasy.

Wei Chen lowered his head slightly, peeking at the important ministers, although he didn't dare to look casually, but he could still see the three officials in the front wearing python robes and jade belts around their waists.

The status of these three people is obviously a cut higher, and the surrounding Shangshu, Jiuqing and other important ministers are standing next to them, like stars holding the moon.

Among the three, Wei Chen only recognized Xu Mu who was standing at the far right.

Xu Mu is the chief examiner of the examination, and since Wei Chen has won the Huiyuan, he naturally wants to recognize Xu Mu as the teacher.

After the test, Wei Chen went to Xu Mansion to pay respects to the master as usual, but what made Wei Chen a little puzzled was that he did not see Xu Mu himself on this trip.

Later, it was Wang Wenqing who answered Wei Chen's doubts and told Wei Chen about the dirtiness when he tried to determine the list.

Only then did Wei Chen know that if it weren't for the Hanlin Academy's arguments, I am afraid that his Huiyuan would have been lost a long time ago.

Although Wei Chen finally took Huiyuan, he naturally didn't leave a good impression on Xu Mu, no wonder this Xu Ge Lao deliberately avoided it.

Wei Chen was also quite helpless about this.

Xu Mu is a scholar of Longtu Pavilion, and the power of the entire Great Zhou can be counted beyond one of his palms, and it is really a disaster for him to offend such a powerful and powerful minister before he enters the officialdom.

The remaining two of the three, although Wei Chen didn't know each other, since they were standing with Xu Mu, they were naturally the two remaining scholars of Longtu Pavilion, and Wei Chen could guess their identities.

The first person on the left looks a little younger, and most of them are the second assistant Wen Yanchang, and the thin old man in the center is naturally the first assistant Han Zhang.

Waiting for everyone to stand still, the music of the two compartments is loud, the yellow bell Da Lu, the bronze bell chime is accompanied by each other, the sound is nine times, the hearts of the people are cleansed, and the officials and tributes in the hall are all solemn.

In the midst of this ritual music, Zhao Zhen, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, made a grand appearance wearing a dragon robe, and everyone shouted long live, kneeling three times and bowing nine times.

At this time, I only heard a sharp voice from His Majesty Dan shouting: "Lin Xuan Fa Ce-"

Then I saw the first assistant Han Zhang climb the stairs, and the Son of Heaven personally picked up the cutter, opened the test questions on the yellow eucalyptus, and awarded Han Zhang.

Han Zhang took the test questions, turned to face everyone, and announced in a deep voice the start of the palace exam.

The officials of Honglu Temple led the tributes to the left and right corridors of the Chongzheng Hall and sat at intervals.

Each table has the name of the examinee on it, and there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone given by the emperor on the table, which are all good tributes, and the examinee can also take it away after the exam, which is a reward from the Son of Heaven.

Wei Chen found his position, took off his robe, sat down upright, his back straight, and then put his temples up with both hands, straightened his hair crown, straightened his robe, and then pressed his hands on his knees, looking straight ahead.

Not only Wei Chen, but also the rest of the candidates, this etiquette and rules began to be learned when they were in school, and every candidate did it as naturally as eating and drinking.

In the Chongzheng Palace, except for the footsteps of the deacons distributing the test papers, there was no sound at all, and the three hundred candidates were silent.

After a short time, Wei Chen got the test questions.

"The ancient king, seek the virtuous and listen to it, choose the good and make it ...... I have been in the thirty-ninth year of my life, and the loss of righteous government has been added to the world. The past may not be saved, but the future can still be saved. In the words of what I have seen, the mother is hidden. ”

The exam questions are sprinkled with hundreds of words, which are essentially one sentence: What have I lacked in my governance over the years, you can speak boldly!

This kind of topic, if it weren't from the Son of Heaven himself, even the first assistant Han Zhang probably wouldn't dare to come up casually.

This is the temple test, this is the question.

The focus is on the vision and insight of the scholars, and the talent and literature are secondary.

Of course, when making suggestions, the grasp of this "degree" is also very crucial.

In other words, you must not only write the article deeply and thoroughly, but also know how to figure out the holy will, the Son of Heaven allows you to speak freely, but you can't really speak outright, otherwise it will be a tragedy.

Elementary school students understand this truth.

Of course, if you really want to spray the saliva of the Son of Heaven, it's not completely impossible, but you have to wait until you finish the hall exam and get the Jinshi and become a serious counselor.

This kind of taboo, Zhuang Jun mentioned Wei Chen many times before the exam, and Wei Chen naturally knew it in his heart and would not commit it.

After reading the exam questions, Wei Chen did not rush to write, but closed his eyes and pondered.

Although the palace examination generally does not defeat candidates, it is the easiest exam, but Wei Chen is different, he has five yuan in his hand, this palace examination, he is running for six yuan, naturally there will be no slackness, but more cautious than the previous exam.

If you want to stand out in the temple examination, you must think carefully about how to structure the essay, even if it takes an hour or two to conceive, it is worth it.

As long as you think about the general structure, the next article is like a bamboo, and it will be done in one go.

The corona's corona needle moved slowly, and as the sun came out, the light finally brightened.

Wei Chen thought for a long time in front of the eucalyptus, finally opened his eyes, dipped his pen in ink, and confidently shook his pen to write, and on the scratch paper, lines of ink-drenched small characters appeared in a blink of an eye.

The pen is so smooth, and there is no stagnation in writing, even for a great talent like Wei Chen, it is rare to see, this is the result of his conception for more than an hour.

Wei Chen was fully absorbed in the article, and it was not until the last stroke settled that he noticed that someone was standing beside him, and he didn't know when the other party came and how long he had been standing beside him.

Wei Chen lowered his head slightly, caught a glimpse of the hem of the other party's bright yellow robe, and suddenly a thrill, his body was immediately shocked, and he hurriedly got up from the stool and bowed down to the eucalyptus.

Standing beside Wei Chen was naturally Zhao Zhen, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Zhao Zhen was followed by Han Zhang and several other important ministers.

Seeing Wei Chen's panic, Zhao Zhen didn't say anything, just smiled, motioned Wei Chen to get up, and then bent down to remove the paperweight on the eucalyptus, picked up the volume that Wei Chen had just finished writing and looked at it.

Wei Chen couldn't help but feel apprehensive at the moment, and he didn't know what this official would say about his article.

After a while, Zhao Zhen suddenly looked back left and right, and said with a smile: "A good word." ”

Han Zhang and the others all nodded yes.

Wei Chen was a little depressed when he heard this.

Although his handwriting is not bad, but this article is what he is most proud of, why does Zhao Zhen only comment on words and not on articles, is it because his own article is not to his liking?
