At two o'clock, the carriage drove through the quiet long street in the early morning, Lu Liangsheng sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and the fallen leaves that used to fill the street disappeared.

...... For the sake of the country, I think that His Majesty values scholars very much, otherwise I would not have seen anyone come to clean the streets in the past, if so, you should be able to listen to me patiently.

Lu Liangsheng thought, put down the corner of the curtain, and soon, the wheel slowly stopped, and someone came over and whispered outside through the window frame:

"Lu Jinshi, Xuanyangmen has arrived. ”

The Baiguan Mansion is not far from the palace gate of the imperial city, and it can be reached in less than half a pillar of incense, after Lu Liangsheng got out of the car, in the carriage in front, the previous eunuch raised the corner of the curtain with an orchid, and when he looked at it, the powder on his face fell down in the pile of sneers.

"Lu Lang, wait at Xuanyang Gate with peace of mind, the palace test has not started yet, and the road behind is inconvenient for you to enter, it is the palace people. ”

Hearing the title of 'Lu Lang', Lu Liangsheng trembled all over, and he was even more infiltrating than seeing demons and monsters.

Hurriedly lowered his face, raised his sleeves and replied: "This father-in-law walks slowly." ”

The eunuch pursed his lips and nodded, and lowered the curtain.

"Let's go!"

The chauffeur shook the reins, and the horses pulled the carriage and drove away slowly, along the wall to another small gate.

Call......

Lu Liangsheng breathed a sigh of relief and calmed the cold in his heart, although he was a literati, the stories told in the book had to make him stay in a state of inoffence against the eunuchs in the palace.

Then, after checking the examination certificate, Jinshi's identity and other things, he turned around and walked towards the Xuanyang Gate over there.

At this moment, the Xuanyang Gate has not yet opened, a large number of officials in Beijing gathered, Lu Liangsheng rolled up his cuffs, towards a few officials who looked at him, politely arched his hand, walked to the side and waited, not long after, there were several carriages in the palace coming, and the figures who got off the car were mostly young talents who stood out in this Ministry of Rites meeting.

After a while, the carriages in the palace came to this side one after another and stopped, and the people who came down were all participating in this palace test, nearly twenty people before and after.

"The hour has come, and the palace test jinshi is listed in the imperial city. ”

On the tower of the city, the eunuch who had a message made a loud noise, and the officials gathered there quickly walked to both sides, and when Lu Liangsheng was about to squeeze over, someone called him to stop.

"Don't be nervous about the palace test, if you have anything to answer, just answer what you think in your heart. ”

The official who spoke was Min Changwen, he had never been a party for personal gain, and when he saw Lu Liang giving birth to the carriage before, he didn't go over to speak, and when he saw the scholar passing by, he couldn't help but tell the other party.

Lu Liangsheng turned his face sideways and nodded.

"Liangsheng knows. ”

That is, go and gather over there, follow the eunuch who led the way, and walk into Xuanyang Gate.

What caught his eye was not the main hall building that Lu Liangsheng thought, on the contrary, there were mostly long red lacquered high walls on both sides, and no one could see what was inside the wall.

After that, after passing the Great Sima Gate Office, this is the real entry into the palace.

"That is the Yuehua Pond, it was dug by Emperor Gaozu under the guidance of the masters, there is a pavilion and attic in the pool, every day in midsummer, but His Majesty, the most favorite place of the concubines, but it is a pity that the golden toad in the pond has been lost for many years......."

Listening to the leading eunuch introduce the scenery of the various halls of the palace passing by, speaking of the big lake in the distance, Lu Liangsheng had heard about the Moon Golden Toad in the Zhou Mansion earlier, but he didn't feel anything in his heart.

The only feeling is that the palace is too big......

Soon, Lu Liangsheng a total of 19 people waited for the summons inside under the long eaves outside the Wenzhao Palace, the breeze blew, the square outside the whole hall was deserted, and there was basically no sound, and occasionally the nearby guards and eunuchs would also cast a glance and turn back.

Lu Liangsheng turned his head and looked at the palace wall that blocked his view, and could feel that there was a majestic blood of a martial artist inside, and it should be the guards around the emperor.

"It's not much different from Zuo Zhengyang......"

In the sky outside, the sun has shone down from the clouds, the white clouds are wandering away, and around the clock, someone came to the door of the Wenzhao Hall to conduct a second body search, and then, in turn, entered.

"Take your seats, don't look around. ”

It was a scholar of Denglong Pavilion who spoke, and Lu Liangsheng and the rest of the people bowed to him, then found their own seat and put the pen and ink on the table.

The main hall is simply furnished, outside the four pillars, there are only four bronze lampposts on both sides to shine the fire, in the middle of the first, a dragon chair is empty there, and there are four guards standing on each side, the posture is upright, the arms hang on both sides, but the hand is less than half a foot away from the handle of the knife.

After sweeping his gaze, Lu Liangsheng took out the ink inkstone and began to grind the ink, and after a while, the answer sheet of the palace examination was distributed, and a eunuch brought an incense burner and lit an incense stick.

The title is not surprising, it is just some measures to ask about politics.

"Heavenly creation, has always benefited the people, and benefiting the people contains national strength......."

Lu Liangsheng read the question once, grasped the content in his heart, and the tip of the pen quickly swam on the paper.

The hall was silent, full of rustling on writing paper.

When he was turning the content of his mind into handwriting with the tip of the pen, Lu Liangsheng suddenly stopped writing, and felt that two eyes fell on him.

Raised his face slightly, in the afterglow, in the first place, a figure walked up the imperial steps and sat on the dragon chair, how could Lu Liangsheng not guess the identity of the other party.

Emperor.

"Being able to supervise the examination in person is not like ignoring the government as rumored......"

While thinking about it, the tip of the pen also flew away on the paper, and in the incense burner, the incense broke and fell into ashes, and the eunuch who was waiting on the side tore out his voice and suddenly shouted:

"The time has come, seal the scroll, leave the table with your hands, and get up!"

Lu Liangsheng stood up and looked at the handwriting on the exam paper, still satisfied.

The content in it, and the political measures mentioned, he used He Liangzhou to conceive, hoping to tell the emperor about the predicament from another direction.

Raising his gaze, the dragon court above the imperial steps, the man had already left, and only saw a little silhouette.

After the exam papers were sealed and taken away, a few people in front of the seats sighed, presumably the time was pressing, and the writing was not perfect, and they didn't seem to know that the emperor had come just now.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please wait outside for the summons. ”

A eunuch came over, stood at the door of the palace and bowed down and said, Lu Liangsheng and others entered the palace before leaving the palace, it was still early at noon, and there were palace guards around them, not letting them walk around, and after a few more steps, there were eunuchs who came to persuade or warn.

"If you know how to go out of your body, you can take a tour of this palace. ”

Lu Liangsheng stood on one side, turned his head and looked at the other eighteen Jinshi talking to each other, perhaps deeply influenced by Min Changwen and Shuhuagong, and did not want to make friends and franchise.

Therefore, although I looked at the scenery of the square outside, I thought of other things in my heart, such as the emperor.

Observing people first and observing the qi, with Lu Liangsheng's current cultivation, the qi of a person can still be done at will, and with a quick glance in the hall, it is not difficult to find that the other party has been hollowed out by the wine, and he lacks the appearance of the Son of Heaven and the king.

In the words of the monasticism, this emperor lacks dragon energy.

"Alas...... No wonder they are easily confused by Purdue Cihang. ”

After thinking about it for a while, occasionally a future colleague came to greet him, and a few words of laughter were casually spoken, that is, a eunuch came to make a noise.
