On the Xie family's side, after Xie Yunjin entered the study, he didn't go out of the room for three days, and he ate and lived in the front yard.Among them, Lu Jiao went to see it a few times and found that he was in good spirits, so Lu Jiao put her mind at ease, but every time Lu Jiao went to the study, she would bring food over, and she quietly added spiritual spring water during the meal, so although Xie Yunjin did not leave the door of the study for three days, the whole person was still in good spirits.In addition to sending food to Xie Yunjin, Lu Jiao also sent food to Liu Ziyan, of course, she would let Lin Dong and Dongsheng say that she made it for Liu Ziyan with her own hands, because in this way Liu Ziyan would protect the food and eat it himself.Lu Jiao also added spiritual spring water to her food, which could ensure that Liu Ziyan was in good spirits.Early in the morning three days later, all the tribute students on the list entered the palace to participate in the palace examination.This was also the first time Xie Yunjin saw His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou.His Majesty the Emperor is not young, about the same age as his old father, but his spirit is quite good, his body is majestic, and his eyebrows and eyes are full of the fierce air of the emperor.Xie Yunjin only glanced at it, then bowed his head and knelt down to His Majesty the Emperor above.There are a total of 300 tribute students in this examination, and these 300 will be admitted, but the admission is divided into grades, the first class top three give Jinshi and younger brothers, the second class give Jinshi origin, and the third class is born with Jinshi.Born in the same jinshi, just by listening to the name, it is not official, like a lady, many people would rather fall off the list than have a background in the same jin.But half of these 300 will be reduced to the Tongjinshi background.Therefore, the people in the temple examination are extremely cautious.This palace examination is divided into seats according to ranking, so Xie Yunjin sat in the front position, His Majesty the Emperor saw him at a glance, he was really good-looking, the emperor saw him, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then asked Sun Mingliang, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy next to him, that is, the chief examiner of this examination."
This is the Huiyuan named Xie Yunjin?"
Sun Mingliang immediately replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”The old emperor looked at him a few more times and said with a smile: "He looks very good, this look, being a tanhua is worthy of his name." ”The voice of these words was not small, and when everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look up at Xie Yunjin carefully, Xie Gongsheng would not really be named a tanhua by His Majesty because of his appearance, then it would be called unlucky.Xie Yunjin's expression was as usual, if he was ordered by His Majesty to be a tanhua because of his appearance, it would also be his life, and he would admit it.The head Sun Mingliang spoke: "Your Majesty, you can't veto his own talent because of his appearance. ”This is not agreeing with the meaning of His Majesty's appearance to explore flowers.The old emperor glanced at Sun Mingliang and glared at him with a smile: "I know, you are a pity, I know it in my heart." ”This time, he appointed Sun Mingliang to be the examiner of the examination, just because this person is upright and will not be bribed."
Let's get started."
His Majesty the Emperor gave an order, and the palace examination officially began, and as soon as the exam questions came out, all the candidates on the field were stunned and cut the domain.It's too difficult.Xie Yunjin and Liu Ziyan already knew the exam questions, but the two of them didn't start writing immediately, and it was difficult to cut such an exam question, if the two of them started writing immediately, it would make His Majesty the Emperor, who was suspicious by nature, suspect that they got the exam questions first.Therefore, when the two of them got the exam questions, they did not immediately start writing, but slowly contemplated and pondered like others, thinking about how to answer such exam questions.After thinking about almost a pillar of incense, Xie Yunjin and Liu Ziyan took the pen.Later, Liu Ziyan watched Xie Yun start writing, and he picked up the pen and began to write.There was silence in the hall, only the rustle of pen falling on rice paper.The old emperor couldn't sit still, so he slowly got up and walked down.The first thing he looked at was Xie Yunjin's answer, but Xie Yunjin hadn't written much at this time because he had been thinking for a long time, so after the old emperor looked at it a few times, he walked to others, some people could still answer the exam questions calmly, and some people couldn't hold the pen in their hands when they saw the emperor standing beside him.When the old emperor saw such a person, he couldn't help frowning and walked directly to the next person.After reading the responses of several people in a row, the emperor was not very satisfied, and finally walked to Liu Ziyan's side, and saw his response, he was finally satisfied, and after watching for a while, the emperor asked Sun Mingliang on the side: "This is Liu Shoufu's son?"
”Sun Mingliang nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, he is the son of Liu Shoufu." ”After the emperor looked at it a few more times, he praised it: "What a young genius, he can become a tribute student at such an age, it seems that Liu Shoufu has a good way to teach his son." ”Liu Ziyan quickly got up and thanked him: "Your Majesty Xie praised, but the grass people were not taught by my father, but brought up by my grandmother, we have been living in Qinghe County for so many years, and this time I returned to Beijing because the grass people came back to Beijing to catch the exam." ”His Majesty the Emperor listened to Liu Ziyan's words, his eyes darkened, staring at Liu Ziyan and laughing slowly, this kid is a little interesting."
Sit down and answer the questions.""
Yes, Your Majesty."
His Majesty the Emperor found out the Liu family's idea clearly, and he naturally knew that Liu Ziyan's words were true.This kid didn't deal with his father.His Majesty the Emperor thought as he walked to the next one, and then there were only two or three people who could read the questions, and the others couldn't read very well.After the emperor went around in a circle, he went around to Xie Yunjin's side, and this look was a little unstoppable, Xie Yunjin's plan to cut the feudal domain was not only reasonable and well-founded, but also cited the classics to talk about the typical examples of successful feudal cutting in previous history, and then he wrote a series of plans to cut the feudal domain.After the palace test, the emperor named Xie Yunjin as the top champion in the palace test on the spot, and another person was named a leader, and Liu Ziyan was ordered to explore the flowers.Liu Ziyan himself is good-looking, and he is pointed out as a flower, which is worthy of his name.The emperor ordered three first-class scholars, and ordered second-class jinshi with Sun Mingliang and Hua Chengze, and the rest were all reduced to third-class jinshi.Zheng Zhixing was reduced to a third-class fellow jinshi.At the end of the hall, Zheng Zhixing looked at Xie Yunjin who was in front of him, and what he repeatedly thought about in his mind was whether Xie Yunjin would get the emperor's exam questions first, if he got the emperor's exam questions first, it was normal for him to get the first place, but why didn't he give him the exam questions, they came from the same place anyway.Zheng Zhixing felt that Xie Yunjin got the exam questions first, and then felt that Xie Yunjin didn't get the exam questions, and he was afraid that no one would know the exam questions from His Majesty the Emperor.But Zheng Zhixing thought of Liu Shoufu, the lady of Xie Yunjin's family saved Liu Shoufu's son, Liu Shoufu, as the first assistant of the dynasty, must know the exam questions, in this way, Liu Ziyan got the exam questions, and Liu Ziyan would definitely tell Xie Yunjin when he got the exam questions.Zheng Zhixing's mind was dizzy, and for a while he was annoyed that Xie Yunjin didn't tell him the exam questions, and for a while he felt that Xie Yunjin was not that kind of person.In front of the main hall, Xie Yunjin knelt down with Bangyan Tanhua to thank Huangen, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Zheng Zhixing in the back.The top three are going to cross the horse to tour the street, and the emperor waved his pen and ordered the top three to cross the horse to tour the street.The restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the main street of the capital are crowded with people who watch the excitement, in addition to the people who watch the excitement, there are also the ladies of the boudoir of each family, today is the day of the palace test, after the palace test, the emperor will point out the top three when the palace, the top three are going to cross the horse and parade the street, they want to see what the first three Tianzimen grows like, and there are many people who want to find a husband in it.Lu Jiao booked a private room in a restaurant on the main street as early as three days ago, just to come out to see Xie Yunjin cross the street when the time comes.At this time, the mother was talking in the private room, and the four little ones were excitedly lying on the window and said: "Mother, mother, when will my father come, when will he come." ”------ digression------ I finally got the top prize, let's count the paper to celebrate.
