The examination has begun, and in order to maintain a quiet environment for the scientific examination, the guards of the Ministry of Rites have blocked the entrance outside the examination room, and it is strictly forbidden to make noise and trespass.

At this moment, a galloping fast horse is very eye-catching.

"Someone stopped, the examination room heavily forbidden to set horses, disturbed the candidates' examination, immediately take it, and punish the crime with the law!"

Sigh!

Di Renjielema rolled over and shouted, panting: "I, I'm a candidate, and I'm here to take the exam...... Quick, let me in! ”

You? Are you also a candidate?

Everyone couldn't help but look curiously.

"Little doll, how old are you, are you a candidate?"

Someone next to him explained: "Captain, this year is different, this year's Hou Ye has a special prodigy assessment, Your Majesty is gracious, and there are many candidates under the age of thirteen." ”

The captain of the guard was puzzled: "Little doll, since you are a prodigy candidate, why are you here now?" Did you know if you were late? The imperial examination has already begun for a quarter of an hour, and the rules of the examination room are that you are not allowed to enter after the imperial examination begins. ”

Yes?

Di Renjie was sweating profusely, "I, I...... I want to see your stewards! ”

In desperation, Di Renjie could only shout.

"Don't shout, don't shout! It's all exams. Since you are also a candidate, you should know that it is right to abide by the order of the examination room, so what is the system of making such a loud noise? I miss that you are young, and I don't care about you, so go back, and it will be the same for the next meeting. Since you're late this year, and if you're wrong, you'll admit punishment, and we can't let you in just because you're young. ”

After some persuasion by the captain of the guard, Di Renjie nodded dejectedly.

At this time, someone saw the horse he was riding, "Yo, little doll, is there a background, the Imperial Observatory Emergency Horse Command?" ”

Di Renjie explained embarrassedly: "I am a special assistant to the case of Yushitai. Recently, I was in Dali Temple to review the file, and I forgot the time when I was studying, otherwise I wouldn't be late. ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, "You are so young, you can assist in handling the case?" It can't be bragging, right? ”

"I've only heard of oversleeping lateness, and greedy...... Or is it the first time I've heard that I'm late for study, could it be the legendary waste sleep and forgetting to eat? ”

"That is, you shouldn't be the son of a high-ranking official of the Imperial Observatory, right?"

Several of the guards were chattering.

Di Renjie glanced at him, didn't want to talk to these people anymore, and struggled to climb on the back of the horse and was about to leave. This kid is also free and easy, and he didn't hang his head because he missed the exam. Even in his heart, he will try to be an official, and it may not be more fun than being able to immerse himself in various case files now.

"Who's making a fuss outside?" The door of the examination room opened, and a young official came out to ask Liu Jinyuan, the young secretary of Honglu Temple.

"Lord Hui, there is a candidate who is late, and he has been stopped and persuaded by us."

Liu Jinyuan walked over slowly, looked at the child on the horse, and asked curiously, "Little brother, are you late for the exam?" ”

Di Renjie did not dismount, but sat on the horse and arched his hand, and said open-mindedly: "Exactly." Sorry for disturbing the order of the examination room, the student said goodbye. ”

Yes?

"Wait!" Liu Jinyuan stopped the other party, and couldn't help laughing: "You doll is free and easy, the imperial examination will be examined, and if you don't participate, you won't participate?" Don't fight for it either? ”

Di Renjie smiled, "What this big brother said just now is right, if you are wrong, you should admit punishment." Being late is my personal reason, and the rules of the examination room are the rules, and there is no reason to break the rules for me. ”

Liu Jinyuan stroked his palms and praised: "That's good! You are young, but you are very sensible. ”

"Well, you wait here, and the official will ask the examiner for you to see if there are any exceptions? Maybe there's a chance. The exam is not once a year, so it's rare to come here, how can you give up easily? ”

Di Renjie said entangledly: "My lord, isn't this unfair to others? ”

Liu Jinyuan laughed and said: "This official is not for your personal gain, but for the country. Your Majesty and the court are thirsty for talent, rules are dead, and people are alive. If you are really capable, and you can make great contributions to the court and the people in the future, why not break this rule for you once? ”

"Wait! By the way, what's your name? ”

"Thank you, sir. Student Di Renjie. Di Renjie turned over and dismounted, and bowed.

Di Renjie?

Liu Jinyuan was surprised: "You are the first genius to clear the third test for geniuses?" The Di Renjie who was later accepted as a student by Hou Ye? ”

Di Renjie blushed and nodded: "That's right." The student is not talented, and he is a disgrace to the teacher. ”

Liu Jinyuan laughed and said, "Then you wait, with the name of Hou Ye, the examiner should give you a chance." ”

After Liu Jinyuan entered, the guards hurriedly surrounded him, and they all changed their faces, "Hey, the little brother turned out to be a student ......of Master Hou, I said it earlier."

Di Renjie pursed his lips and sighed mercilessly: "Brothers, your faces have changed so fast...... But it's not right to see people on the plate like this! ”

"Ahem...... The lesson of the little brother is that he has already seen the extraordinaryness of the little brother, and he was offended just now, don't blame, don't blame the ...... "These people are all old rivers and lakes who have been in the old rivers and lakes for many years, where were they persuaded to quit by a little doll with a few words of ridicule?" Instead, they all came up and talked affectionately.

In the examination room, as soon as they heard that it was the student of the champion Hou, many people paid attention.

It was Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, who presided over the overall situation, but Li Daozong went back to rest due to illness, and now he is Kong Yingda, the priest of the country.

If Liu Jinyuan doesn't mention that he is a student of Champion Hou, even if you say it in private. Now in full view, Kong Yingda is not good even if he wants to open the net, after all, it will damage the reputation of the champion Hou Qingcheng and integrity.

sighed, "Since he is a well-known genius in His Majesty, a few of us will go and see it for ourselves, if there is really something outstanding, or if there is any special reason, then we can discuss a way." ”

"However, if there is no reason, it is only his personal reasons that cause him to be late, it means that this candidate is contemptuous of the examination, and no one can show favoritism, which is unfair to other candidates who abide by the rules."

Everyone nodded, so Kong Yingda took the two deputy examiners and Liu Jinyuan to the door of the examination room.

When asked the reason, everyone couldn't help sighing, and Kong Yingda also sighed: "It's not easy to be so diligent at a young age. But it's a fact that you're late, and it's unforgivable to be sloppy, so you need to pay the price. Otherwise, the rules of the expedition cannot be changed for you personally. ”

Di Renjie saluted and said, "Thank you for your concern, and the students accept the punishment." In fact, the students are still young and their knowledge is still shallow, so it doesn't hurt to go back and study for a few more years before taking the next entrance examination. ”

Kong Yingda nodded appreciatively: "Yes, learning is a lifelong thing, not just this time, the attitude is very good." ”

"Well, if you're just here to take the test, then we can admit you."

What does this mean, my lord?

Not only Di Renjie, but also the examiners who followed next to him didn't understand.
