The rules of the palace examination are much stricter than those of the previous township examination, almost harsh.

There are also sturdy guards with swords guarding them, standing solemnly and majesticly, staring at the warriors who are rushing in, with the meaning of censorship and surveillance.

These guards are the main force guarding the Forbidden City, and they are all one in a million, and the so-called "Ouchi guards" are also. Both in terms of force and loyalty, it is much more than the regular Royal Guards.

After a series of procedures, Chen Sanlang finally stepped into the hall, found his own place, and sat down.

As soon as his buttocks touched the cushion, his whole body could not help but feel a little weak, and he was even shaky - if he hadn't sat down, he would have collapsed outside the door.

Tired.

Tiredness from the inside out, especially mentally, feels as if most of the whole person has been hollowed out, leaving a weak shell.

This feeling is completely different from other tributes.

When the other tributes entered the Forbidden City, they were in awe, nervous and depressed, but after slowly getting used to it, they gradually relaxed.

But Chen Sanlang seemed to have just experienced a big war, which consumed a lot of mental energy.

He's been there!

The result can be said to be a big defeat, because the "Haoran Silk Book" was entangled and trapped by the dragon qi of the dynasty, and almost became a dead thing. Although he was still up and down in the world of Mud Pill Palace, he had lost his unique spirituality and couldn't give Chen Sanlang much mental help.

The book was sealed, and the evil sword inserted in the head was woe. It's sharp, it looks. It's a small hairpin, inconspicuous.

After such a loss. Chen Sanlang's back was wet with cold sweat, and he struggled to sit in his position. A little respite.

He never thought that the temple test would have such an encounter, and it could even be said to be a "catastrophe".

Other tributes, they seek fame and profit, and they are willing to serve the court and become courtiers, so naturally there are no such twists and turns.

Ye Rongtong's position was arranged diagonally opposite Chen Sanlang, with his head slightly bowed, and the corner of his eye could catch a glimpse of Chen Sanlang.

He saw a pale and frail face. It's like a sick look.

Ye Rongtong had a sudden change in his heart: from calm and calm when he came, to trembling now, his attitude has changed too much.

Reverence for imperial power is human nature, but as long as the adaptation period is passed, not to mention anything else, at least the demeanor will not be so lost and depressed, and it will not be afraid to that extent. After all, everyone is here to take the exam, to welcome their own glory.

Besides. The Holy One will not be present today.

But looking at Chen Sanlang's appearance, to put it mildly, how can he feel like a chaotic minister and thief in a state of panic when facing a trial?

Lost Dogs!

Ye Rongtong caught a very appropriate adjective, but then even he felt ridiculous. I think it's very inauthentic to tease friends like this.

Now, it's not the place to be able to ridicule.

So he put aside the doubts in his heart and sat upright. to prepare for the upcoming temple exams. As for Chen Sanlang's side, as long as he wakes up. Complete the article decently, and dare not say the ranking. A jinshi can't run away.

There have been so many palace examinations held before, and it is extremely rare to fail the list.

The main hall is spacious, the rows of examination cases are neatly arranged, and the tributes are seated in pairs, and they are all sitting full, and they are all quiet at the moment, which is very solemn and solemn.

At the top of the row, the seats are the seats of the chief examiners, and they all sit with serious expressions - the chief examiner of the temple examination is directly appointed by the saint, and it can be said that they are all ministers of the humerus, so as to obtain this trust and glory.

As the saying goes: "The world is full of peaches and plums", which describes the many protégés. However, no matter whether it is a great Confucian or a great official, even if he opens an academy, it is unlikely that he will recruit too many students and teach them one by one. In fact, most of the so-called "protégés" are actually candidates.

For example, the current Keyangzhou Township Test is presided over by Su Yanran, so all the people who come to refer to it can be regarded as Su Yanran's protégés.

As a result, the number of students under the disciples of those who have been examiners is considerable. And some highly respected ministers have served as examiners for several imperial examinations, not to mention the number of protégés.

There are many protégés, and personal prestige and connections are rising.

Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, including Mengshi Throne Teacher, etc., their status is still ranked above their relatives. In other words, it is more important than the individual's parents.

Therefore, being able to be selected as the chief examiner of the temple examination is by no means an easy thing to achieve.

In the position, Chen Sanlang relieved himself slightly, and couldn't help but peek at the examiners, looking at the demeanor that seemed to be printed out of a mold, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and lowered his head again.

In fact, from the beginning of his journey to the imperial examination, he intentionally or unintentionally diluted the bond between his body and the "teacher", except for Mr. Yang, the teacher.

By God's grace, it is a real cultivation and guidance, and it should not be neglected. The seat teacher is not quite the same, and the name occupies an absolutely dominant position.

It is precisely because of the "reputation" involved that Chen Sanlang is unwilling to give authority to others casually. Therefore, regardless of the township examination, after the examination, those who pass the examination are busy visiting the master and setting their ranks. However, among them, Chen Sanlang's figure is almost nowhere to be seen.

He has his considerations.

Because once the name is decided, it will be branded with some kind of brand, and from then on, it is not far from being involved in the dispute between the government and the opposition on the mountain.

However, blindly evading is not a wise move, and if you do not take refuge on the left and right, you will often be offended by both sides, and the prospects will be extremely bleak.

This is the key node where Ye Rongtong can't understand Chen Sanlang.

He couldn't figure it out.

didn't mention it, but said that a melodious bell suddenly rang in the hall: the palace test has officially begun.

Before the tributes entered the palace, the four treasures of the study room had been placed on each case, and the objects were complete, so at this time, as long as they waited for the announcement of the exam questions, they could make a fuss.

The palace examination only examines the theory of current affairs and policy, and only one question is examined, but the requirements for the number of words are longer, which is a long essay.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please look at the exam questions. ”

An examiner with three strands of beard took out a yellow silk and opened it respectfully.

Among all the colors, yellow is precious, and this exam question is prepared by the saint himself - the emperor's things are all treasures, even if it is just a urinal, and when it is passed outside, it can be called a rare treasure.

Value is secondary, the most important thing to treat such items is attitude, must be respectful, do not dare to have the slightest playfulness and slackness, otherwise it is a great crime of disrespect, and it will fall to the ground.

The exam questions are very long, more than 100 words, and they are not excerpts from paragraphs and sentences in a certain scripture, but a combination of three scriptures, and then composed of a question.

Chen Sanlang listened and watched, and suddenly there was a palpitation, and then his hands and feet actually trembled slightly uncontrollably.

He was all too familiar with the situation.

Thriller!

The stubborn disease that was once overcome and overcome has recurred at this moment...... (To be continued......)
