There is a large field outside the imperial examination institute, and fortunately, this one is large enough to accommodate so many people at the same time. According to statistics, there are 258 candidates who have taken the township examination this year. As for the rest, they are all family servants and the like.

Looking at the expressions on their faces, it seemed that they were more eager than the scholars.

It is not surprising that the so-called prosperity and loss are closely related.

It can be seen that the big battle of accompanying the examination has existed since ancient times.

Of course, there are also many scholars who come from afar alone, but these are all shabby and from poor backgrounds.

"Yuan Qi, this way. ”

Li Yifeng shouted.

When Huang Yuanqi saw it over there, he walked quickly, staring at Ye Junsheng with a faint gaze, his eyes were very penetrating. However, the township test was about to start, and in order to avoid affecting his mentality, Huang Laosheng held back and did not criticize him. Instead, he squeezed out a smile and told Ye Junsheng.

"Jun Sheng, the second prince also pays great attention to you, he wanted to come over in person and see you, but he has a lot of eyes and ears, but he can't help himself. After you finish the exam, I will invite you to the house to talk. ”

Ye Junsheng knew that they all belonged to the camp of the second prince, although he had never been on the side. But there are some things that have already been imprinted and are difficult to erase.

"Well, I'll go. ”

After a while, two teams of Royal Forest Army armor in yellow armor drove sharply and guarded the gate of the Imperial Examination Academy.

There was a babbling sound, and the door slowly opened. Many people began to work in their respective duties, preparing to welcome the scholars into the field.

Candidates entering the city gate can be different from entering the city gate. There are a lot of things to pay attention to, and the most important level is the most important level. It is to prevent cheating, so it is necessary to search clothing. and what to bring.

These days, it's not easy to take a test. In order to do well in the exam. In the official career, he will do everything he can, and he will use any means. The way of cheating is even more bizarre and unpreventable.

Li Yifeng hurriedly said: "Junsheng, you are about to enter the venue, you hurry up and go over there to worship the holy icon." ”

On the right side of the square, there is a high altar. On the altar, a statue of a sage is erected. It is one zhang high, carved with white marble. The carving is perfect, making the statue come to life.

The sage has a high crown and a wide robe, with his hands behind his back and a scroll in his hands. Raising his eyes into the distance, his brows were slightly tightened, as if he was worrying about the world.

This statue stands in front of the Imperial Examination Academy, I don't know how many years, at least more than a hundred years. Every time the township examination is opened, the scholars will burn incense and pray in front of the statue before entering the venue. I hope that the sages will bless, my own high school, the title of the gold list, and return to my hometown with glory.

Ye Junsheng did the past. has its own Li family's small servant to send three incense sticks lit.

Twisting incense, bowing over his hands, and praying.

In this moment. Ye Junsheng Huo Ran felt that the holy statue on the high altar seemed to come to life. An indescribable aura was inspired. Blowing on the body, like a spring breeze.

He was secretly surprised.

Someone else. Naturally, you will think it is an illusion. But Ye Junsheng is different, he knows some mysteries: the biggest possibility is that this holy statue has stood for a hundred years, endured countless people's incense and prayers, and even enlightened the spirit, and has a god-like aura.

What is God?

-- There is no God in this world, but when there are many people to worship, there is God.

It can be seen that the essence of God is the existence condensed by the will of the people.

Taoism, Buddhism, and the Demon Gate all have gods. Then the gods of the scholars are the ancient sages. People believe in different things, but the essence is the same.

There are many schools of thought. Among them, the most accepted and never doubtful to learn, the patriarch of the school is naturally the easiest to become a god.

Inexplicably, Ye Junsheng perked up and shook up.

Look around at others, but they don't feel that way.

At this time, a full-time official shouted loudly to maintain order, and let the scholars line up and officially start to enter the venue.

Waving his hand to say goodbye to the second elder Li Huang, Ye Junsheng lined up in the line, and after slowly advancing for more than ten steps, if he felt something, Huo Ran looked back-

In an instant, he saw the gaze of the icon on the high altar shift, and shifted to pay burning attention to himself.

This is not an illusion, let alone an illusion.

On the spiritual level, it is a very real eye contact.

Through thousands of years, we have seen each other.

In Ye Junsheng's eyes, the sage came to life completely, turning into an old man with snow-white hair, looking at himself and smiling.

He suddenly laughed too.

......

The township examination was opened, and the Beijing teachers were diverse.

In an inconspicuous restaurant, in the wing.

Bang!

The sound of the cup being smashed was violent and rude.

The shopkeeper wanted to go in and take a look, but there were two big men guarding the door, their eyes were glaring, and they were angry.

Xiao Er was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to tell the shopkeeper about it.

The shopkeeper said in a low voice: "The uncle of the private room is ten taels of silver as soon as he makes a move, you don't care so much, don't say that you will drop the cup, as long as you have money to give, we will pretend not to know if we dismantle the room." Laifu, the trick is bright, some people are impossible for us to provoke. ”

When Xiao Er heard this, he nodded vigorously, and didn't dare to go over and look at it anymore.

"Chu Yunyu, you did a good errand!"

In the wing, the prince Zhao Kuangqi, who was traveling in disguise, gritted his teeth and was very angry.

On the ground, Chu Yunyu knelt and didn't dare to come out. He has been waiting for His Highness for a long time, and he has never seen the other party so angry.

The reason for everything lies in "Ye Junsheng".

At the beginning, the crown prince gave a death order, let Chu Yunyu do it, and tried every means to not allow Ye Junsheng to participate in the township test.

After Chu Yunyu received the order, he immediately sent the most powerful tiger and wolf guards out to kill Ye Junsheng. However, a large group of tiger and wolf guards went out to carry out the order, and they strangely disappeared - the meaning of disappearing should be annihilation.

This surprised Chu Yunyu, and sent a lot of people one after another, but the final result was the same, like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no wave at all.

The things that need to be done have been done, and Ye Junsheng is still fine.

The whole thing is full of eerie atmosphere. I can't figure it out, it's hard to explain.

Zhao Kuangqi asked angrily: "Chu Yunyu, you are talking, what is going on?"

Chu Yunyu's body trembled: "Back to Your Highness, I have stated the details of the previous actions. Several groups of men, one after another, have failed, and none of them have escaped. ”

"You mean, this kid is protected by a superior person?"

"Nine times out of ten. ”

"Then according to your analysis, could it be the hands and feet of the second child? I know that in the past two or three days, they have been very active. ”

Chu Yunyu shook his head: "Your Highness, this old minister really can't see through it. ”

"Alright, you get up first. ”

Zhao Kuangqi said: "Even if that kid is allowed to enter the imperial examination institute, it doesn't necessarily mean that there is no way. Prince Ben already had a budget and arranged the chess pieces. Now, it's time for this piece to come into play. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
