One hundred and ninety-two years after the founding of the Great Liang.

Emperor Anping of Liang was forty-three years old, on the eighth day of the second month.

This day is the day of the spring examination of the imperial court. It is also the largest examination since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Tens of thousands of people participated.

In previous years, at most 5,000 or 6,000 people from all over the country participated in the examination, and fought for the 300 jinshi places.

It seems that they have a premonition that the dynasty is coming to an end, and many people want to take this opportunity to be admitted to the Jinshi and obtain a half-official position.

Because the burden on all parts of Kyushu is too heavy, it is not realistic to rely on the power of the imperial court alone to pacify the chaos.

Recently, there has been a blow in the imperial court to restore the ancient feudal system.

Use the power of the local government to calm the chaos by yourself, and not abolish the imperial court.

Otherwise, the imperial court taxes are too heavy, and the examples of officials forcing the people to rebel will only be common.

It's just that as soon as this remark came out, Emperor Liang directly reprimanded it for being a scholar, and the imperial historian who blew the wind was beaten a lot of court rods.

But the local demand for increased power is obvious.

If you are promoted to the jinshi and released as a magistrate, you will definitely have an increase in authority.

Or stay in Shendu, well-informed, and be able to seek greater benefits for your family in the first place.

Once they enter the troubled times, the local forces that kill and rob together and have closed information are the most likely to suffer.

Shendu City is very large, and the examination room is not far from Donghua Gate.

Qin Chuan's place of residence is a remote place in the west of the city, so he went out very early, and the east was not white.

Now is the time when it is warm and cold.

Shendu is the northern part of the empire, the spring is cold, and many of the eaves are still frosty, and in normal times, except for those who are on duty, collecting night incense, and soldiers who are forced to patrol the city and keep vigil, almost no one wants to go out at this time.

But today, in the capital of God, there are many torches on the road.

The car is like a flowing water, like a dragon, as if in the Lantern Festival.

Tens of thousands of people have approached the Gongyuan Academy, the examination hall in the east of the city.

And on the Heavenly Street to the Gongyuan, there are Imperial Forest Soldiers along the way to maintain order, among which there are many martial arts masters, soaring blood and energy, rolling essence, like beacon smoke gathering.

So that any monk who wants to make a mistake has to weigh it, and he is afraid and apprehensive.

Qin Chuan went out alone and shuttled through the flow of people.

He instructed Qingqing to take care of Ying Ning in the small courtyard and not to go out until the end of his exam.

Qin Chuan also left the Qingxuan Sword to guard in the small courtyard.

Qing Xuanjian and him have a heart-to-heart relationship, once something happens, Qin Chuan can also know immediately.

Nothing happened.

Qin Chuan thought, mother and daughter connected. Ying Ning came to Shendu, and the little uncle should know. He found Ying Ning these days, and he always went up to the roof from time to time to look in the direction of the imperial city.

Ying Ning always subconsciously looked there, saying that she wanted to know the situation inside.

When I asked her why, she couldn't tell.

But Qin Chuan knew that it was probably the natural attack of the mother-daughter heart.

So Ying Ning probably has her secretly taking care of her.

Qin Chuan thought that if the little uncle was forced into the palace by Taishan Niangniang and didn't want to stay in the palace, Qin Chuan would definitely take the other party away after he had the strength. It's an explanation for the dead uncle.

Until then, it is definitely necessary to find an opportunity to meet and ask about the situation.

Qin Chuan did not deliberately exert the power of the Yuan Shen, and only relied on the physical body to move forward in the flow of cars and horses, which was quite a feeling of not being stuck in things.

The light of the torch is no match for the day.

No one noticed that in the convoy and the flow of people, there was a person who kept moving forward, and there was not a single chariot or horse or a servant who opened the way, hindering Qin Chuan's advance.

Qin Chuan walked in the red dust of this downtown area, and the leaves did not touch his body.

There is a feeling of "I have been in the city with a sword and no one knows that I am a real immortal".

The red dust is muddy, and it doesn't get on him at all, and he walks forward calmly, not stained with dust, which is very interesting.

Unconsciously, Qin Chuan came to the Huixian Tribute Academy.

The items that were paid tribute to the emperor were called tributes, and the people who participated in the tribute court examination were the talents who paid tribute to the emperor, so they were named tribute to the emperor.

This is the sacred majesty brought by the monarchy since the Tianhan Dynasty, after the monarchy has the color of the Mandate of Heaven.

Even if you are a scholar, you think you are the pride of the sky and you are pretentious.

But when he arrived at the Tribute Academy, he had to admit that he was just a talent who paid tribute to the emperor, no different from tribute, and submitted to the divine monarchy.

Even if you comfort yourself in the past, learn literature and martial arts, and sell the emperor's family.

At this moment, we have to admit that this is not a sale, but an active surrender.

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.

The program of the monarch and the minister, father and son, needs to be implemented to the end at this moment.

Outside the gate of the Tribute Temple. Qin Chuan once looked at the Gongyuan from a high place, and knew that the layout inside was rigorous, the walls were towering, and the environment was gloomy. The public courts and government offices that were displayed under his astonishing vision were tall and solemn.

The examination booths inside are very simple, and I heard that there are more than 9,000 rooms. Because there are too many people to refer to, it is probably temporarily expanded now.

The outer wall of the Gongyuan is threefold, with an outer thorn wall, an inner thorn wall, and a brick wall.

There are also watchtowers at the four corners of the Gongyuan, which mainly play a monitoring role.

East and west brick wall each open a brick door, there is an archway in the door in the east for "Ming Jing to take the scholar", the west is "for the country to seek talents", there is a brick shadow wall outside the south wall, the left and right sides of the wall each open a door, in the middle of the door is the "Tiankai Wenyun" archway, the central axis has the gate, two gates, the dragon gate, also known as the three dragon gates, take the carp leaping dragon gate meaning.

At dawn, the candidates began to enter the Tribute Academy one after another, and they had to go through extremely strict procedures such as roll call, search, and receiving papers.

Thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young jinshi.

Qin Chuan looked particularly young among the crowd.

Because he didn't go out of the house and didn't go to the literary hall to participate in the literary meeting, few people recognized him as Xie Yuan of Yujiang Province.

Probably only the provincial people can recognize it, but it is impossible to deliberately come up and talk at this time, so as not to cause misunderstanding among the examiners of the Gongyuan and the surrounding supervisors.

However, Qin Chuan, as a person under the age of twenty, although it is eye-catching, he is not the youngest in the examination room.

A young man of about 12 or 3 years old, when he entered the examination room, he attracted a lot of attention.

This young novice, who had just escaped the age of a boy with a drooping hair, was obviously known by many people.

Someone whispered.

"That's the little apprentice of the national teacher, who just participated in the autumn test of Shendu last year, and his writing is outstanding. I didn't expect him to come to take the exam for this subject, I heard that he only turned thirteen years old this year, and he was really a prodigy. ”

The national teacher is a great monk who does not know the origin, and he speaks the Dharma in the gods, and there are almost tens of thousands of followers. In recent years, he has won the trust of Emperor Liang, and even surpassed Tao Zhenren, who practiced in the Xuandu Temple, the divine capital.

This real person, before coming to the Divine Capital, practiced in Zhongnan Mountain. Emperor Liang fell in love with him and corresponded with him from time to time.

The world used to call him the prime minister of the mountain.

After coming to the Shendu Xuandu Temple, Emperor Liang's favor and trust in him have not diminished, and in the past ten years, many cabinet elders have to scold him.

It wasn't until four years ago that the national teacher was born and defeated Tao Zhenren in a battle for rain. As a result, the national teacher won the trust of Emperor Liang.

As a result, Tao Zhenren's favor was greatly attenuated.

Now he lives in seclusion in Xuanduguan, and rarely has contact with the outside world.

The young apprentices of the national teacher are said to be selected from among the victims of the disaster, and they are carefully trained by the national teacher.

The talent displayed by this young national teacher with the Dharma name Daoyan shows that the national teacher is not a demon as rumored, but has real talent and learning, and is not only proficient in Buddhism, but also in Confucianism.

Otherwise, no matter how talented Dao Yan is, it is impossible to raise people in the twelve-year-old examination and come to take the examination at the age of thirteen.

The national teacher sent him to participate in the examination, most of which also meant to show off.

Some people secretly sighed that the national teacher is far more flamboyant than Tao Zhenren, and the national talent ceremony has become a tool for him to show off.

There are also people who secretly muttered to themselves that the national teacher has always traveled and has a lot of pomp, and sooner or later he will cause trouble for himself.

It is nothing more than the reason why His Majesty favors him.

Once the saints are weakened, how can the national teacher and his disciples have a good end.

It's a pity that this little prodigy, at a young age, doesn't know the dangers of the world, and is used by the national teacher, and it will be difficult to end well in the future.

"Amitabha." After Dao Yan entered the dragon gate, he saluted the people around him.

The Sanskrit sound spread, calming down the criticism and whispers about him.

After they heard the Sanskrit sound, they didn't dare to talk about Dao Yan and the national teacher anymore.

There is a kind of argument that slanders the Buddha, and slandering the Buddha is sinful.

There are clever characters who recognize that this is a unique art of the national teacher - immeasurable Sanskrit.

At a young age, Dao Yan was able to master the mastery of the national teacher, which shows that he is far from being underestimated in the practice of Buddhism.

No matter how old he is, it is impossible for him to be so powerful in beating his mother's fetus.

Could it be the reincarnation of a ghost?

…

…

Gao Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the chief examiner of this examination, and he is surrounded by Lu Wanli, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who is the deputy chief examiner of this examination.

Gao Zhen and Lu Wanli stood on the Mingyuan Tower in the Dragon Gate, watching the candidates enter one by one, Gao Zhen couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't seen such a grand occasion for many years." This time for the country's selection, we must select the real material, and we must not be able to create a prosperous world. ”

Lu Wanli smiled: "With the great uncle here, this time I will definitely be able to select the real pillars." ”

Gao Zhen smiled casually: "Qiaochuan don't want to pat me on the back, my knowledge is not worth anything in the academy, and it is reluctant to be a lecturer. If you are lucky enough to elect a pillar for the country, it will also be due to Your Majesty's blessings. Relying on the grace of heaven, how can you be greedy for the work of heaven? ”

Lu Wanli: "Uncle Zong's mind is like the sea, and it is where the servants want to learn." ”

Gao Zhen said with a smile: "I heard that there is a protégé of yours who entered Beijing to take the exam this time, have you met him?" ”

Lu Wanli shook his head, "That kid is very assertive, and the servant is not his teacher." On the contrary, I learned something from him. Moreover, he is young and has developed a heroic spirit, and if he wants to teach, he has to be taught by the academy. This little bit of knowledge can only delay others. ”

Gao Zhen was slightly surprised, "At a young age, he actually cultivated the aura of Haoran, why didn't you tell me earlier, I can directly recommend him to enter the academy." ”

Lu Wanli smiled, "Young man, high-spirited, just exalting words, dung prince." He entered the academy early, how did he become famous in one fell swoop? Lingzhou is a place, Yujiang is a province, and even raising dragons is reluctant. is trying to make him famous when he comes to God, the world knows about it, and the young man is proud. In this way, we can experience flashy refinement, floating clouds and wealth, and make a truly worldly material. ”

Qin Chuan's ear power was amazing, he didn't use his supernatural powers, and he also heard the conversation between Lu Wanli and Gao Zhen.

He sneered in his heart, "I didn't say I wanted these false names. When I haven't experienced those things? ”

He has been reincarnated for several lifetimes, and he is not reincarnated in vain.

The world knows that the young man became famous, and there are indeed countless open guns and hidden arrows.

It would be nice to have direct access to the academy.

However, entering as a first-class jinshi, the attention he receives is completely different, and it is easier to get in touch with the Dao Yun he wants to obtain.

It can even get close to the book of heaven mentioned by the old demon of Montenegro.

This is also the reason why Qin Chuan participated in the scientific expedition in a down-to-earth manner.

When Gao Zhen and Lu Wanli were chatting, the little national teacher Dao Yan made a Sanskrit sound to calm everyone's whispers.

It also made Gao Zhen and Lu Wanli stop chatting.

There was a hint of anger in Gao Zhen's expression, "What a good demon monk, a good disciple to teach." ”

Lu Wanli: "This Daoyan is indeed a prodigy, but unfortunately he was trained early by the national teacher, and it is not suitable for our Confucianism." ”

"If something is abnormal, it is a demon, and this kind of demon boy will be a scourge sooner or later. It's just that since he took the examination according to the rules, even if we recognize his articles, we must evaluate them fairly from our hearts, and we can't harm the justice of the imperial examination. ”

"That's what Uncle Zong said." Lu Wanli echoed.

Dao Yan's immeasurable Sanskrit sound really made Lu Wanli a little worried, this son is quite strange, is it not to steal the limelight from Qin Chuan.

In his heart, Qin Chuan is going to take the first place in the test.

will be the first in the test, that is, five yuan in a row.

The emperor firmly believes in the gods and Buddhas, likes auspiciousness, and knows that Qinchuan is even five yuan, and he will definitely not hesitate to give him a champion name.

The feat of six yuan in the whole company.

Thinking that the unique grand event of Lianzhong Liuyuan in the world was born from his hands, he could also follow Qin Chuan to leave a name in history.

There are three yuan in the world, and there are no six songs in the world.

And now that a demon boy is suddenly killed, Lu Wanli can't help but feel that there may be an accident.

I only hope that Qin Chuan can play steadily, and it is best to play extraordinarily, and then write a famous article similar to the injustice.

Although the examination is also a test of eight strands.

But if you can get to the step of being able to try, the eight strands of text are all about eating and drinking, and it is difficult to distinguish between high and low.

The key is still in the strategy.

However, the exam questions this time are quite grand.

…

…

After the cumbersome procedures, they entered their respective examination booths, and the exam questions were finally distributed.

The exam questions of the eight shares were very ordinary, and Qin Chuan completed them quickly.

Then turn to the topic of the policy theory.

"Feudal".

In just two words, this is the topic of the policy.

Feudalism here is not the meaning of feudal society, but the meaning of "feudal land and statehood", which is the state system before the pre-Qin period, which has long been eliminated.

This is to ask candidates to write about feudalism.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly, he didn't need to type the draft, and he wrote the words directly.

"Heaven and earth."

Then write the first paragraph in full,

"Heaven and earth have no beginning? I don't know. Is there a beginning to the fruit of life? I don't know. ”

With its pen, for a while, the words on the white paper had the aura of Qinghua gathering and rising into the sky.

Condensed into the shape of a blue bird.

The blue bird lives in the fairy world and does not exist in the mundane.

He is the messenger of heaven.

This kind of vision was observed by many beings in the Divine Capital City for a time.

"Writing is all over the sky."

"Who can reach the way of heaven with words?"
