According to the practice of previous years, before the preliminary examination, the Imperial Academy will arrange a banquet for the students who participate in the examination, and after the preliminary examination, there is the college examination, as the name suggests, according to their own needs, to choose one of the twelve colleges for assessment.

Although there are twelve imperial academies, but the teaching strength is different and the coverage is also overlapping, for example, Zhao Yanmo mentioned that the cultivation should be one of the four, five or six academies, about the difference between the three focusing on the cultivation of the imperial academy, until now there is still a dispute between the students of the three academies on Zhaohua Road.

But it's all door-to-door, and if you don't look down and look up, you won't make any big noise, but after the end of the court test in previous years, there is also a competition about the inside of the Twelve Academies of the Imperial Road, and the Sixth Academy of the Emperor has been the leader for several years, so the group of people with the loudest voices on Zhaohua Road are probably the students of the Sixth Academy.

In this kind of internal comparison atmosphere is becoming more and more noisy, the various royal houses have also begun to pay attention to the first examination of the autumn court, and some good seedlings in the preliminary examination are often fighting for blood, and tonight's gathering called the 'Yaoxian Banquet' is the first step for the twelve imperial courts to observe the candidates.

Nominally a party, but in fact it is a place for candidates to show their knowledge and martial arts, how to inadvertently monopolize the romance in the banquet to attract people's attention, not deliberate and calm, this is very worthy of study.

So a decent dress to support the face is a must-have, but Yun Zhao and his party obviously don't have this kind of awareness, wearing a moon-white robe and a pair of wooden drags, they simply stepped into the gate of the first courtyard where the Yaoxian banquet was held.

The style of the twelve colleges on Zhaohua Road is very different, as the Wenmo Academy, which is directly taught by the Tang Dynasty officials, can be called the cradle of the imperial officials, stepping on the rosy sunset and walking on the path of the Imperial First Courtyard, this is the first time Yun Zhao has stepped into the Imperial Courtyard, and the scenery is really like what Jiang Wei's old man said, which is very comfortable.

The bluestone path is planted with greenery, through a few poplar locust trees, you can see the lake like a crescent moon, several students in ink-colored uniforms are lying on the slope of the lake holding a scroll, the starlight is spread in the lake with bright reflections, young boys and girls snuggled up to each other and pointed to the stars, looking at the scroll in their hands as decorations, it seems that it should be the first tryst.

Walking out of the verdant stone path, a synagogue used to hold a meeting of the House on weekdays suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and at the end of the bluestone road, the whole synagogue was illuminated as if it were day, and every other section of the road was a student of the Royal Academy who was responsible for guiding the way.

Yun Zhao never imagined that just a banquet about the preliminary examination would attract the attention of so many candidates.

Even if it is rumored that only one county has issued an order to participate in the test, Datang has crisscrossed the entire territory of thirteen provinces and hundreds of state capitals, plus the number of places distributed to the rest of the world, nearly 1,000 people filled the newly renovated Imperial Hall to the brim.

...

A slightly surprised voice interrupted the boy's worries, and one of the Royal Academy students who was in charge of leading the way gave his hand with a strange expression.

"Guys, go this way. ”

It seems that he was confused by the costumes of the few people in front of him, and the students of the Imperial Academy were a little uncertain about the identities of these people, and after consulting the Zhaohua Order, they pointed the way apologetically, thinking about which special costume of the famous clan it was...

Qianqin, who was drenched all over, was in a very bad mood, so when he changed his clothes, he insisted that it was not early, and he would go to bed when he returned from the banquet, so several people changed into this bed robe and wooden drag, so that they could quickly return to the house and fall asleep after the banquet.

Yun Zhao felt comfortable at first with the cool breeze blowing in the twilight, and praised this initiative, but after entering the hall, he felt a little uncomfortable in the many surprised eyes, but he was quickly attracted by other things.

The elm long table is full of all kinds of rare delicacies, the most special is a long row of grills on the side of the aisle, a piece of beef ribs sizzling on the grill is shiny, Rao is used to eating seafood in the past few days Yun Zhao is a little coveted.

Between the hundreds of tables filled with the aroma of food, the party quickly divided into several circles, such as the Imperial Academy students who observed in the dark, the students of each Academy whispering, and the fellow villagers who chatted happily according to the divisions, but the most special was the crowd of people from other countries.

With a wave of the Tang Emperor's edict, a part of the quota for the imperial examination was divided into the remaining six countries in the world, and the foreign people here were the people of the six countries, which may have suffered the same experience of the Tang Dynasty, so that these candidates from all over the world hugged together.

Of course, the special place is not only the people of the Six Nations who sit very closely, the most important thing is that they all hold their heads high, looking very proud, and even the sound of talking and laughing faintly covers the people around them.

Of course, this is not the so-called saying that the country is weak and should strive for self-improvement, but they are really proud and worthy of pride.

Under the influence of the blood books of countless Tang students on the court case, only one transaction was divided equally among the six countries, and a result was born under the condition that the number of places was very small, that is, the teenagers from the six countries who went to the examination were very good.

Since the six countries went to Zhaohua to take the test, more than half of the top ten in the initial examination or martial arts evaluation have been awarded, and none of them have failed in the college examination.

The world has been cultivating for more than a thousand years, and the Tang Dynasty, which has just been prosperous for more than ten years, does not have a long history to give birth to powerful cultivators, not to mention the calligraphy and ink attainments that made the Tang Emperor feel painful.

The focus of tonight's banquet is also understood by everyone, and the seemingly unruly candidates of the Six Nations are actually constantly aiming at the front tables of the hall, where the teachers and elites are what really interests these outstanding students.

However, the atmosphere in the room did not affect the mood of Yun Zhao and the others in the slightest, or their attention was not on those at all.

Regarding the matter of going to the banquet, Yu Wentai has a very unique opinion, that is, on an empty stomach, drink less, and eat more. At this time, he felt very happy, and proved to the people at the next table by words and deeds that the right thing to do in this kind of banquet is to eat!

...

A whole crispy and golden, melt-in-your-mouth beef rib disappeared into Yu Wentai's mouth, and Yun Zhao and Nanbei only took a few small pieces under their fierce resistance.

Delicious juice spilled down their fingers, and a few people sucked contentedly on the remaining oil on their fingers.

There was a burst of laughter at the adjacent table, with the lip cover of the Jiangnan Dao woman chuckling, and the good-natured smile of the Longyou Dao man.

But more often than not, the ridicule coming from the table behind him.

Behind Yuwentai was a table of Northern Qi people, those young people in black shirts had indifferent expressions, expressionless, looking at the people around them with a hint of scrutiny, which represented a kind of overlooking emotion, in general, they felt that they were amazing.

This emotion was vented when one of them felt the movement behind him, and turned around and let out a mocking laugh as an outlet, which was immediately rendered throughout the table, and the people at the table soon laughed, maliciously, mockingly.

Not only because the Tang people's eating appearance was ridiculous, but also because they remembered how King Wu of the Tang Dynasty cut down the Northern Qi Imperial Banner and the horror stories at the bedside at night in those years, so they laughed louder and louder, more and more harsh.

In these years of Northern Qi, there have been many strong people about cultivation, and the astrological sect leader broke through the realm on the day he set off a monstrous wave of Weihai, as if the end of the world had come to the world, but the people of Northern Qi did not panic or worry about the towns that were washed away by the waves, but instead knelt down on the coast of Weihai like a pilgrimage, and finally figured out that the sect leader of the astrology sect was the second prince of Northern Qi.

For various reasons, the people of Northern Qi are now very arrogant, and for various reasons, the surrounding Tang people are a little depressed, and for various reasons, Qianqin, who has been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, is very unhappy.

The unsheathed is very expensive, the wet is two, the laughter of the Northern Qi people is three, and the quail-like silence of the Tang people is four, and the causes and conditions are neatly arranged, so Qianqin decided to give this matter a result, and he was ready to go crazy.

...

"Don't you know that it's rude to disturb other people's food?" Qianqin opened his eyes.

There were not only young people on the table of the Northern Qi people, but also an old man with long hair, who had been sitting silently at the upper table, and said indifferently: "Isn't there no one in the Tang Dynasty to teach some banquet etiquette?"

The girls with long braids looked at Qianqin's picturesque eyebrows, and the pupils that had just bent into a crescent moon frowned when they heard this.

Qianqin stood up slowly, straightened his clothes very seriously, and looked at the old man.

"Your mom is dead. ”

It's like a greeting, and it seems natural.

The porcelain cup Yun Zhao was holding rolled down to the table, making a bone-chilling sound, which actually drowned out the rest of the sounds, probably because it was too quiet.

The old man originally stroked his long beard lightly, and looked at the arena coldly with an arrogant look, thinking that a few words would make the Tang people lose face, but the hand that brushed the beard suddenly froze, and it was difficult to suppress the anger in his tone, and he said coldly: "You... What do you say?"

Qianqin looked at him with some curiosity, coughed lightly, and spoke again: "I said, your mother is dead, do you hear clearly?"

"How dare you..."

"Isn't your mother dead?" Qianqin deliberately fixed his gaze on his gray beard.

Yun Zhao, who was sitting on the side, looked at the old man's violently trembling body, for fear that he would die violently on the spot, and couldn't help but be a little worried.

Soon, when the girl's hand was still clenched on her sleeves, Qianqin spoke again, this time with extra sincerity.

"Is your mom dead or not dead?"

The room was really quiet, as if time had been frozen by the ice brew on the table.

Li Hongtang, who was accompanied by a group of imperial academy teachers, had just entered the synagogue, and looked there with some curiosity.

"How can this be reasonable!" From the scene of the red and swollen muscles on his neck, it could be seen that the old man was also going crazy.

Qian Qin's understanding of madness is very thorough, and he has a profound explanation afterwards that the real madness is to pee on his face before others are mad.

So when the inquiring gaze turned into an eagle looking down on the ant beast, Qianqin suddenly drew his sword.

"How can it be justified? He repeated it like a parrot learning to speak, his tone as flat as usual.

The young man fought with his sword, and a white rainbow crashed straight into it.
