However, the middle-aged scribe quickly returned to normal, reined in his sword intent, and said lightly.

"Yan Chixia, since you have broken through to the Great Perfection of Condensation this time, you will stay here during this time to make a foolish plan, and by the way, help me pay attention to whether there are any good seedlings worth cultivating in this Great Qi. ”

"With Master and you sitting here, do anyone dare to make any trouble? If that's the case, if the time comes, if Master doesn't make a move, I, Yan Chixia, will let them try the edge of this Chixia Sword. ”

With Yan Chixia's horizontal eyebrows and angry eyes, the Chixia sword light behind him also became brighter, obviously he was not lying.

"No matter how clear the river is, there are a lot of old turtles hidden, not to mention those who are bent on mixing the water to fish in troubled waters, in addition to other sects, maybe even casual cultivation will intervene. The middle-aged scribe sneered and looked at Yan Chixia.

"Although the inheritance of these people is not as dignified as our Nine Heavens Sword Sect, they still have some strength, which is suitable for you to use as a sword sharpening purpose. ”

As soon as she heard this, Yan Chixia's fighting spirit became even higher.

"Master, don't worry, I, Yan Chixia, will definitely not fall into the prestige of our Nine Heavens Sword Sect, let alone insult the reputation of Master Asking Heavenly Sword, I will definitely give them a little power. ”

The middle-aged scribe nodded with satisfaction, and pointed to Yan Chixia and said: "You have been working in the imperial court before, and then you have been mixed in the martial arts, although you have been accepted as an apprentice by me, but you have not worshiped the sect with me, this time in addition to sharpening your cultivation, you also have to make a reputation, so that you will not be ignored in the sect in the future." ”

After the list, it was the New Day of March in a blink of an eye, that is, the day of the palace examination.

Compared with the nervousness of the township examination and the general examination, when it came to the last of the six imperial examinations in the palace examination, the scholars relaxed instead.

The talents selected at the three levels of the county government and the court can be exempted from paying taxes and have the privilege of not worshipping officials, and they will be officially freed from the common people.

After passing the township examination, he officially has the qualifications to be an official, and he can be called "master".

As soon as the palace examination is over, the jinshi is in hand, and there is an iron-clad future, and there is no need to do things with eggs all day long like other election officials, for fear of any mistakes.

As long as you are on the list, basically the palace exam will be decided, and you will not be brushed down again, and even your results will not be too bad.

Seeing that the cold window has been studying hard for ten years, and finally it is time to harvest, everyone's steps are obviously much brisker.

Ye Xin is like this, he still knows something about himself, he played well when he could try, and he expected that he would not fall out of the second rank in the palace test, but it was impossible to go up several places.

But this is enough, as a general, he can get a jinshi is enough to glorify his ancestors, and he is not yet twenty, no matter how you look at it, he is a first-class young talent.

So he can be said to be the most relaxed among everyone, and he is even in the mood to look left and right at the same class.

Then he saw Shen drunk.

Compared with Ye Xin, Shen Zui's face was much more serious, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Brother Shen, why are you so nervous?"

In the previous days, although Chen Fusheng introduced the two to each other, although their backgrounds were just opposite, the two had some similarities in dealing with people and making friends, so compared to Chen Fusheng, Shen Zui was closer to him.

The drunken nervousness is not because of himself, but most of it will fall on Chen Fusheng.

Since he learned the inside story of Chen Fusheng's examination and the current situation of the old and new parties from his father that day, he has been a little uneasy, plus Shen Yun once told him that Chen Fusheng had already put a number in the emperor's heart, so that he should pay more attention to it on weekdays.

However, after the test, Chen Fusheng didn't go out much more than usual, and it was not good for him to go directly to ask Chen Fusheng about his attitude towards the current situation in the imperial court.

In this way, this kind of plan has been holding in his heart for the past few days, and outsiders naturally seem to think that he is worried about the next palace test.

"Of course I'm nervous, the top three in the palace test is the third-class way out, the difference between the Jinshi and the first, the Jinshi and the Jinshi background is like the abyssal sea, the champion of the first class, the list of eyes and Tanhua, I dare not be delusional, but I can't fall to the top three, what is 'the same', isn't it the meaning of not, if that's the case, it's too embarrassing for my father. ”

After whispering a few words to Ye Xin, Shen Zui stepped forward, leaned over to Chen Fusheng's side, and asked.

"Brother Chen, the essay you did when you tried it was too bold, I heard my father say that many examiners were jumped when they saw it, this time the palace test seems to me that you should not be so risky, it is better to be safe." ”

Turning his head, Chen Fusheng smiled lightly.

"Actually, I regretted it a little after I wrote it, it was indeed that I was young and reckless, but I didn't expect that instead of being dethroned, I won a second place, but this time I have made up my mind that I will never be in this limelight again. ”

"Oh, that's good. ”

Shen Zui nodded, but he was a little puzzled, Chen Fusheng wrote last time without being shocking, and it can be considered that his nature likes this, why did he change his attitude after winning the second place this time.

But he just wanted an answer, he believed that a veteran officialdom like his father would tell Chen Fusheng what he really thought.

Just when he wanted to probe Chen Fusheng's thoughts a few more times, he heard a distant bell ringing.

Then, the vermilion palace door burst open, revealing two rows of strong young eunuchs.

It's time.

The officials who followed the invigilator to mark the papers passed through the narrow doorway, stepped on the white marble square, and walked into the most spacious Jianji Pavilion in the entire imperial city in turn.

Then there is the Shao music of the Lu Lu, the text with five tones, the eight tones are repeated, and the sound of jade vibranium sounds.

All of a sudden, the slightly noisy scene of the entire hall stopped.

Then Xiao Zhang, the young son of heaven, walked in in the sound of Shao Music in the ninefold clouds, wearing a crown of Pingtian.

It can be seen that as a protégé who chose himself for the first time, Xiao Zhang put a lot of effort into it, not only put on a crown, but also changed the dragon robe on his body from the bright yellow used by the royal family to pure black.

It looked like it added a bit of majesty to his slightly immature face.

The effect is still there, at least the expressions of those candidates and the voices of the mountain shouts are still quite solemn and respectful.

Of course, this does not include Chen Fusheng, and his thoughts on this occasion are more active than usual.

This can't be blamed on him, whether a practitioner is Taoist, Demon Sect or Buddhism, in essence, he is seeking a detachment, how can he be happy and sincere to an emperor in the mortal world.
