Cen Rubai saw Zeng Nianzhen's resolute attitude, so he sighed: "Since this is the case, then do you have a place to live, if so, you can live closer to you." ”

"You have been a staff member at Lin Gongzi's place for many years, and he still won't give you a place to live?" Zeng Nianzhen sneered, but also got up to find him a place to live.

"Yes, there is a place to live, and there are maids to serve. Cen Rubai smiled indifferently: "But usually I can stand it calmly, but now at this time, I can't take you back, but I don't dare to live." ”

"What, afraid of lackeys cooking?"

"It's not a lackey cooking, but the more difficult the season, the more loyalty is required, and I refuse to be called the lord, for fear that it will be difficult to get good results. ”

"And I'm afraid it's very difficult for Childe to get through this level. ”

Neither of them spoke, but seeing a hook of crescent moon sprinkled the light, faint and shiny, still with a little cold, Zeng Nianzhen was silent for a while, and said casually: "Didn't you say that Lin Yuqing has the appearance of a king?"

"Xiang only said that it is possible, not that it will definitely arrive, and my understanding of physiognomy is only scratching the surface, but I understand scheming. ”

"In the Lin Kingdom, Gongzi originally fell in love with the king, and pushed him out to death that year, if the emperor didn't know that he was a scapegoat, he rebelled for a while, but instead of killing, Gongzi would have died a long time ago. ”

"As for the promised Dong Suijun, it is the reward for the 20 years of struggle of the son who gave Lin Guo the network of relations in Dazheng, and now most of this network has collapsed, and the merit does not exist, I am afraid that it will be gone. ”

"Moreover, the prince of Lin Guo and several younger brothers all want the life of the son, even if they can go back now, how can there be good fruits?"

"In Da Zheng, more than a dozen families who have offended, or even more powerful people, are looking at the prince and delaying, asking for the son's life. ”

"This catastrophe, I'm afraid that the son will be very sad. ”

"I heard that he has a good relationship with King Qi?" Zeng Nianzhen said casually, "Or you can plead with King Qi." ”

"Hmph, it's useless, don't you think, this year, the two kings of Qi and Shu have divided a lot? Even King Lu is newly sealed, and he wants to recruit manpower, but he is also cautious?"

Zeng Nianzhen was stunned, and then listened to Cen Rubai sneering: "The emperor has had two minor illnesses this year, the real dragon is dying, and he is not reconciled, and his eyes are becoming more and more red and want to devour people, at this time, whoever jumps out will be beaten." ”

"The three kings are all pressing, but this season is very short, and when the emperor is really old, it will be different, although the emperor is still alive, he can be killed and killed, but it is easy to kill, but it is not easy to clean up the situation - the emperor promises to be a Ming Jun and will not leave this mess. ”

"A gentleman can deceive him, and the emperor can deceive him. Speaking of this, Cen Rubai was overwhelmed with emotion.

Zeng Nianzhen didn't speak, the residence was an inn, not far away, a few words arrived, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted, seeing that the situation was known, the soup towel waited non-stop, Zeng Nianzhen sent it out, and then asked: "You talk a lot today, are you drunk?"

"I just feel a little uncomfortable...... I think that back then, the green palace was heavy, the wine banquet was prosperous, and the answer was calm, I thought that there was a bright master in life, but I could show my ambitions and seal my wife and son, but I didn't want to ......"

"Alas, let's not talk about these, this time it's been hard work for many years, I thought it was a bit rewarding, I didn't want to come out alone, how similar this scene is......"

"I'm fifty years old, dusty in the blink of an eye, temples like frost, still empty-handed, nothing, life is really a dream. ”

Cen Rubai looked at the falling cold star, and suddenly his voice was a little choked: "Actually, you and I, for twenty years, are just lost dogs, surviving for a long time." ”

Early morning of March 15

Su Ziji followed the Ministry of Rites to guide the officials, quietly walking outside the imperial city, the majestic palace is close in front of him, as long as he looks up at this time, he can still see the sky full of stars.

"I didn't expect that the first time I came to this imperial city, it was at this time, and because of the palace test. ”

Su Ziji, who had been to his World Palace as a tourist in his previous life, was in a very delicate mood at this time.

In the past few days, Su Ziji has not read, and the four books and five classics have reached level 18, but it is difficult to improve, so he keeps reciting the Dragon Palace chess score, just listening to some sequelae of Lin Yuqing's piano sound, so that he occasionally still thinks of some things in his past life.

But to say that there is no injury to the scene, not only separated by time and space, but also separated by the world, this is not the other place after all.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, only the footsteps of more than 200 people, loose and continued to sound, as this session of the Huiyuan, Su Ziji was naturally in the forefront, even if he was thinking about things in his heart, he was not in a hurry under his feet, and followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites who led the way in front until he arrived outside the imperial gate.

From this moment a little eunuch walked and whispered a few words to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites nodded, and led them to stand quietly outside, waiting to enter.

Because it is April at this time, even if it is still dark at this moment, the people who can take the tribute exam basically do not lack a few thick and warm single clothes, so the tributes who are standing and waiting outside the imperial gate will not feel cold.

But the inner anxiety and irrepressible excitement made some people stand in place, their bodies trembling slightly.

Because the footsteps stopped, the small sounds around him were especially clear.

Su Ziji heard the fourth place standing behind him, although he was far away, there was still the sound of heavy breathing and his teeth slightly bumping.

Thinking that when he first gathered, although the fourth person looked well-dressed and his figure was quite upright, he could still see that he was cautious in his actions, and he didn't seem to be from a powerful or official family, but like a child of a local squire.

With such an ordinary background, even if he is the son of a squire, at this time, he basically can't be calm.

Su Ziji, for various reasons, stood in front of the team with a calm expression.

Zhao Gonggong, who happened to come over, saw this scene, couldn't help nodding secretly, and said a few words to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the officials of the Ministry of Rites looked up at the sky, and turned around: "The time has come, the imperial gate will be opened, I wish all the tributes can leap into the dragon gate and become my great Zheng Dongliang's talent - enter and open the imperial gate!"

The Gongshi bowed their hands in silence, made a half-salute, and thanked for this auspicious word.

Subsequently, the imperial gate was closed tightly, and it slowly opened in front of him, and for many people, the mysterious imperial city finally revealed its true appearance in front of him.

The astounding stretch of the long road, as well as the red walls and golden tiles, all brought a kind of spiritual pressure and impact to these tributes in this still dim morning.

Most people study and take the imperial examination in order to learn literature and martial arts and sell goods to the emperor's family?

Whether you can glorify your ancestors is today.

At this time, the children of the capital, who were not very nervous, were also beating faster and their hearts were rippling.

Su Ziji was quite indifferent at this time, different from these tributes, although he had only been in a little more than a year, after several lives and deaths, gods, ghosts, monsters, and even Shuifu Longjun had seen them one by one, and he had crossed time, and when he saw the big demon a hundred years ago, he naturally saw the world.

But as he walked into the imperial gate step by step and walked on the bluestone road of the palace, he was still calm as water, but he couldn't help but fluctuate.

"The majesty of heaven is worthy of its name. ”

The so-called majesty, to put it bluntly, is the awe of his own life and future, all in the hands of others, Su Ziji couldn't help but take a deep breath.
