The palace examination was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The Gongsheng students who stood out in the provincial examination were all brought in early.
First, there was a written examination.
After the examiner read the paper on the spot, twenty papers were selected and submitted to the emperor, who then tested them personally.
Twenty people, one top and three top, respectively, are the number one, second and top pick.
These three people were appointed by Emperor Yuan.
Therefore, whether you can become a first-class official does not depend on your previous ranking, but only depends on whether you can catch the emperor's eye.
The chance of becoming one of the top three in the first-class class is naturally higher.
In fact, it is already time for the palace examination.
Even if you win the second or third grade, you are already a good person among people.
You are much better than ordinary people.
Not to mention how big an official you will become in the future.
The glory of this life has been achieved.
Chen Yun and Chen Yan are the top two in Nanzhili, and they are brothers.
Many people are very optimistic about them.
They even bet on Zhuangzi who can win the first prize.
Of course, there are more people who favor Chen Yan.
Chen Yanyan is one year older than Chen Yun.
He has a good-looking face, fair skin, and a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes.
He often has a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and looks easy to get along with.
Externally, Chen Yanzhi knows no one, he is smooth and steady, and his lively eyes are full of smiles when he speaks.
But if you look closely, you will find that the smile is very fake, as if it is sarcasm, and is heartless and unintentional.
As for Chen Yun's overall temperament, he is much colder than him.
He has an expressionless face all year round and an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
Even if someone wants to make friends with him, he is scared away by this cold temperament.
In fact, Chen Yun does not have many friends.
When the accident happened to He's family, He Ling was four years old and he was nine.
He was already old enough to remember things.
Unlike He Ling who only had a vague impression, he remembered much more than his sister, and he couldn't let it go.
Chen Yun never thought about overturning the case for his father, even though he knew that his father might have been framed.
Instead of thinking about overturning the verdict, it is better to demand the lives of those who are still alive after the plot and let them pay back tenfold.
The emperor would never admit that he had made a mistake, even if he found evidence to prove his father's innocence in the future.
This is the face of an emperor.
To admit a mistake is to lose face and lose the majesty of the imperial family.
Chen Yanyan and Chen Yun have a very good relationship.
Although they are not biological brothers, their friendship with each other has been forged since childhood.
Chen's parents and Chen Yun all know what happened back then.
The two brothers were also the ones that girls in Jiangnan dreamed of marrying, but neither of them got married.
Chen Yun didn't have that intention, and Chen Yanyan already had a "picked up" girl named Dongqing.
On the royal road of Zhengyi, the high-spirited Gongsheng students headed towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Chen Yun and Chen Yanyan stood side by side.
Chen Yanyan bumped Chen Yun's side with his elbow and raised his eyebrows at him: "Today, who do you think between you and me can win the championship in one fell swoop?"
Chen Yun asked back: "How did you know it was someone else?"
Chen Yanzhi smiled, revealing two pointed tiger fangs, "Oh, except you and me, I don't believe anyone else can get it."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone patted him on the shoulder.

A trace of disgust flashed through him, and then he turned around with a smile.
"Brother Chen, it's really you."
Chen Yanzhi cupped his hands and said, "Brother Liu, I have long heard that you were also shortlisted for the palace examination this time.
I haven't had time to congratulate you yet."
There was a trace of shyness on the face of the man named Liu, "It's just luck, unlike Brother Chen, who is very talented."
After saying this, he noticed Chen Yun.
He also heard about Chen Yun's temper, so he nodded as a sign of greeting. call.
"I won't disturb Brother Chen, just go ahead."
As soon as he left, the smile on Chen Yan's face disappeared.
Seeing this, Chen Yun asked, "Are you tired?"
Wearing a mask all day long to show off, but it lasts for several years, so I don’t feel tired.
He, the nominal brother, looks affectionate, but in fact he is more ruthless than anyone else, and his heart is dark, but others don't know it.
Chen Yan said nonchalantly: "It's tiring, but it's so interesting."
I don’t know if it’s the truth or a lie.
I always feel happy when I see others being played with by me, and besides, it doesn’t hurt to have a few more good friends, maybe I can use them in the future.
Chen Yun was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked forward quickly, not keeping upright all day long.
Chen Yanzhi touched his chin and caught up with him, "Wait for me, do you know what it means to respect your brother?"
Chen Yun slowed down and glanced at him, "You look like an older brother."
Chen Yan choked at his words and waved his hand, "Forget it, you don't even smile, you are really boring.
By the way, your sister who is in the capital has been in the capital for several days, and she hasn't even smiled.
See you go see her."
Chen Yun's heart tightened, his face darkened, Qingjun's face was covered with gloom, and his brows slowly knitted together.
He was still angry when he mentioned this matter.
He Ling actually dared to enter the palace without saying a word.
Even the uncle and the others hid it from him.
When he was still young, he couldn't protect himself, and he didn't have the ability to take care of his little sister.
He could only let her stay at his uncle's house, and his life would be better.
If he knew that his uncle would send his sister to the palace in the future, how could he do it?
Won't leave her.
He knows what the uncle is thinking, and he may be somewhat sincere towards his sister, but what he loves more is his daughter.
Letting his sister into the palace, in exchange for his daughter's stability for the rest of her life, is a good deal.
He Ling is his only relative and his most beloved sister.
How can he endure hardships in the palace?
"I'm asking you," Chen Yanyan couldn't help but remind him when he saw how absorbed he was.
Chen Yun said angrily: "She is my sister, why are you so concerned?"
Chen Yanyan wanted to choke him again, but the group of people had already arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Once inside the temple, they will not be allowed to make any mistakes.
Chen Yun and Chen Yanyan took their respective seats.
After the eunuch rang the bell, he began to distribute the examination papers.
The official who invigilated the examination was Qu Yuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
The exam papers this time were issued by Song Duan, but these candidates didn't know it.
There were fifty or sixty people sitting in Nuoda's palace, and they were widely separated.
From time to time, people would walk through the aisles, monitoring their every move.
When Chen Yun saw the test questions, he felt much less nervous.
The questions were not difficult for him, and the test questions were also very flexible.

For a moment, he admired the person who wrote the test.
Qu Yuan had long noticed these two brothers.
They were so popular and famous, especially Chen Yan, who won two yuan in a row.
If he also won the first place in the palace examination, he would be the first person in this dynasty to win three yuan in a row.
Back then, Song Duan was the only one who almost won three yuan in a row.
Of course, he later lost the qualification for the palace examination.
Two hours later, the winding began.
Chen Yun and Chen Yan had relaxed expressions on their faces.
They thought they must have done well in the exam.
They were led to the side hall and waited patiently for the results.
Half an hour later, the twenty people in front of Juan were called out, and Chen Yun and Chen Yan were among them.
Emperor Yuan sat on a high seat and glanced at the people standing below.
Some of these people were young people, and some were already seventy years old.
There are three most outstanding essays and responses, which were selected by Song Duan.
Emperor Yuan knew Song Duan's talent, and after a brief glance at it, he had to praise these three essays for being extremely well written.
Even more outstanding is Chen Yan's.
He had already planned to write a statement about the number one pick this time, but what troubled him was that the other two articles were indistinguishable.
Emperor Yuan selected a few people for questioning.
Chen Yan dealt with them very well, but Chen Yun cherished his words like gold.
In the end, the first place in the first place was Chen Yanyan, the second place was the candidate from Jiangbei and Liangzhou, and the third place was Tanhualang, Chen Yun.
Chen Mansion suddenly produced two Jinshi, which made others envious.
Chen Yun and Chen Yanyan were the calmest.
Perhaps they had already thought of such a result, and it was just expected.
Chen Yan was awarded the post of editor of the Hanlin Academy, and surprisingly, Chen Yun was assigned to the Ministry of Personnel.
"Hey, do you know who the person who published the paper this time is?"
Chen Yan asked as he walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Not sure."
"Jiangbei told me that the person who published the paper this year is Song Duan, who is worthy of being your uncle."
Chen Yun paused and gave a faint greeting.
He was not in a hurry to meet this uncle, he would always meet him in the future.
When he was a child, he was not close to his uncle, who preferred his sister.
Chen Yun seemed to suddenly think of something.
His uncle was also in the palace, so he could take care of his sister, or even more, he could take her out.
Song Duan did not show up from beginning to end.
He was still busy with more important things at that time.
Lu Chengyuan was injured.
Although he concealed it well, Song Duan's keen sense of smell still smelled the smell of blood on him, and Song Duan's mood immediately improved.
Wang Quan was really a good sword.
Even the dignified commander was injured by him, but Song Duan was not very satisfied because in his plan, Lu Chengyuan should be a dead man.
Guarding outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony were not only the Imperial Guards but also the Imperial Guards.
Song Duan sat on the roof with his legs crossed, waiting and waiting.
It took a long time before Lu Chengyuan arrived on inspection.
His eyes lit up and he stood up from the roof.
Fly down.
Lu Chengyuan's angular face was still cold.

He had a long knife on his waist.
The fitted dark clothes made him even colder, but his lips were white.
Song Duan stood in front of him, "Commander Lu, long time no see."
"Is there something wrong, Governor?"
Song Duan smiled and said, "Nothing, I just want to chat with Commander Lu and learn about martial arts."
Lu Chengyuan looked at him coldly, "I'm on duty today, so I won't be able to discuss with the governor."
Song Duan stopped laughing and looked coldly, "That's not up to you."
He raised his hand, and the wind from his palm hit Lu Chengyuan.
Lu Chengyuan retreated hastily to avoid his sudden palm.
Song Duan had no intention of stopping.
Instead, he pressed forward step by step, each move becoming more vicious than the last.
Lu Chengyuan endured the pain in his chest and started to fight back.
Song Duan couldn't stand him, but he didn't know that he also couldn't stand Song Duan for a long time.
Lu Chengyuan pulled out his long knife and slashed the blade towards Song Duan.
The two of them fought fiercely, but no one dared to stop him.
After a few moves, Song Duan finally found his injured spot and slapped it with his palm.
At the same time, Lu Chengyuan's blade stabbed Song Duan's chest, but the wound was not deep.
Only then did the two of them stop.
Song Duan sneered, "Commander Lu is well-deserved and his skills are extraordinary."
"The Governor accepted the offer, and it was my fault to hurt the Governor unintentionally."
"Humph, this little injury is nothing to worry about."
Song Duan was wearing a white robe.
Even though the wound was not deep, the blood stains showed a large amount of red, which was scary to the eyes.
"Master, it's better to go and heal your wounds quickly."
Song Duan was silent, then slowly turned around and walked away.
After he walked away, Lu Chengyuan's knife touched the ground.
He supported the knife, knelt down and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The fight between the two people immediately reached the ears of Emperor Yuan after being instructed by Song Duan.
Emperor Yuan was not angry, and even thought of letting them go.
The harder they bite, the better.
If they really get along peacefully, he should be anxious.
Song Duan returned to Wenyuan Palace, took off his clothes, cleaned the wound, and bandaged it himself before letting Liu Jin in.
He asked: "Tell me about your ranking in the palace examination."
"Two brothers from the Chen family, one is the number one scholar and the other is the most beautiful man."
It was pretty much what he had guessed.
"Supervisor, before this Tanhua Lang left, he wanted to see the Supervisor."
Song Duan sneered, "What does he want from the governor?"
"My servant looks like he has something important to do."
Song Duan listened impatiently, "I'll have plenty of opportunities to meet you in the future.
Have you done everything I asked you to do?"
Liu Jin replied: "My servant has already taken the girl over and arranged the house."
He paused and continued: "But the girl seems reluctant and a little scared." gd1806102:
