At the right time, the genius was slightly bright, and the candidates were waiting in front of Xuande Gate. They were lined up in two rows according to their rankings, with fifty people in each row, including three in the first class, 20 in the second class, and 80 in the third class.

From Xuande Gate to Daqing Gate via Yudao, turn left and walk a few hundred meters, go in and walk a few hundred meters after reaching Duanli Gate, pass Wende Gate and you will arrive at Wende Palace.

Like most of the candidates, this is the first time for Shen Chu to enter the imperial palace. Of course, this may also be the only chance in his life to walk the royal path. On that day, basically no one would have the chance to walk the imperial path again.

But almost everyone bowed their heads slightly and respectfully, they didn't dare to look around at all, let alone whisper to each other.Of course, apart from Shen Chu, he is really curious. As a modern person, this is simply a living imperial palace. It is completely different from the modern Forbidden City for exhibitions. This is a veritable imperial palace. palace.

He couldn't help but peek around.

From Xuande Gate to Daqing Gate, there is an open square, about one mile long and one mile wide. It is said that the length from Daqing Gate to the main hall, Daqing Hall, is about twice as long as here.There are red walls and Zhuwa on both sides, and the ground is paved with smooth bluestone slabs. Each bluestone slab is about half a meter square.

The sky gradually brightened, and the red sun slowly rose from the east, hanging on the courtyard wall of the palace, and the golden radiance instantly covered the earth.

The palace guards led two rows of examinees, and slowly walked through the royal road. From a distance, they looked like tiny ants walking through the corridor of history.

From the palace gate to Wende Hall, it took nearly half an hour for candidates to stand in front of their desks, but the time was not difficult at all. Every candidate was excited and anxious, worried that the time would go too Hurry up, and I wish I could just cross over.

Until the eunuch sings, the emperor arrives.

Everyone knelt down and saluted. It must be said that most of the candidates present were very excited when they met Tianyan for the first time, and Shen Chu was also the same. After all, this was also the first time he saw the living emperor. He was a little more courageous than other candidates, and dared to raise his head slightly to take a peek at what the legendary Emperor Yun looked like.

When I didn't see it, I was curious, but when I saw it, I thought it was nothing special. He was just an old handsome guy with two eyes and one mouth. His facial features were somewhat similar to Li Di's, but Li Di's facial features looked more Profound and fierce, Emperor Yun is a little gentler, at first glance he seems to have a bit of the love of an elder, but at the same time exudes the majesty of an emperor.

But he probably was too familiar with Li Di's face, and he didn't feel afraid when he looked at Emperor Yun again, instead he felt a sense of familiarity.But speaking of it, there is no similarity between King Yun and the emperor, probably King Yun looks like the queen mother, and Emperor Yun looks like the former emperor.From this point of view, the Empress Dowager must have been a famous beauty in the capital.

There were too many dramas in Shen Chu's head, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Emperor Yun's eyes met his, with scrutiny and a touch of not-so-sharp sternness in it, and a trace of shock on his face that was not easy to detect.

The eunuch beside him stepped forward and shouted sharply, "Bold! How dare you offend Shengyan!"

The Son of Heaven raised his hand, the eunuch listened to him, then stood up slightly and said to Shen Chu, "This examinee is here to report his name!"

Shen Chu's heart skipped a beat, thinking that he would not die before he was born.He straightened up, bowed again, took a deep breath and said, "Cao Min Shen Chu, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and the trance quickly disappeared from his face. If Shen Chu's eyes were not so good, he would have thought it was his hallucination.

In a blink of an eye, the emperor smiled and said, "I've heard that Brother Nine Emperors adopted you as a foster son, but I haven't had the chance to meet you. Logically speaking, you should still call me Uncle Emperor."

Everyone in the room was startled, secretly wondering what kind of divine development this is, everyone was the same examinee a second ago, and in a blink of an eye they were all related to the emperor, the key is not that he posted it himself, but the emperor took the initiative to speak Yes, this golden word is tantamount to a certainty. In the future, Shen Chuyun's identity as the righteous son of the king is confirmed, and he is different from ordinary people.

Shen Chu also had a dazed look on his face, he never expected that the Son of Heaven would not play cards according to the routine, he was impolite, and seeing the posture of the eunuch, he must be punished, but what a magical turn came, the Son of Heaven unexpectedly Also recognized his cheap nephew? !

Before he recovered, Mao Tuan urged in his mind, "Why are you in a daze, the emperor is still waiting for your reply."

Shen Chu naturally didn't dare to offend the emperor, and followed the words, "It's the grassroots who don't know how to behave."

The emperor didn't want to get to the bottom of it, and besides, this was not an appropriate occasion.

"That's all, go to the palace more often to see the Queen Mother and Zhen, the Queen Mother will be happy to see you."

Everyone, including Shen Chu, was at a loss when they heard it. Even if King Yun recognized Shen Chu as his adopted son, and the Queen Mother favored King Yun, they couldn't figure out how the Queen Mother would like Shen Chu.

But the emperor is the emperor, whatever he says is what he says, and there is no chance for anyone to refute.

In order not to favor one another and make Shen Chu look special, the emperor asked Fan Yong, Feng Jing, and Su Zhan, who were Huiyuan, a few words, and it seemed that the top four in the tribute examination were all taken care of.

After a few pleasantries, when it was time, the eunuch sang, the examination papers were distributed one by one, and the candidates began to answer the papers.

There is only one policy question on the volume, the way to govern the country, secure the people and the army.

Candidates here got this policy question, nine times out of ten they all frowned and looked bitter, just because this question is too grand, it is simply a replica of governing the country and the world, asking the soul of the way of the king.

As long as you are a scholar in the world, you will ask yourself, what is governing the country and the world, let alone becoming an official through the imperial examination, whether it is Taixue or prefectural and county schools, the teachers will use this as a question, asking students or themselves, to give many different answers.

This question has been asked for hundreds of thousands of years. Since Confucianism was the only one, the classic essence of the university - self-cultivation, family harmony, and national governance, as an ideal that scholars have been pursuing, has always been the standard answer.

But the emperor is no better than his master or the officials of the Ministry of Rites, who pick out a complete set of theories from universities or the Four Books and Five Classics to answer this question. People's questions will be given points, but it is not difficult for candidates who can enter the imperial examination to find the answer in the Four Books and Five Classics, but the possibility of finding the answer approved by the emperor is too small.

Therefore, when it came to the palace examination, this question became more concrete. In the current Yunmeng Dynasty, how to achieve the governance of the country and the peace of the people, how to plan for a hundred years or even a thousand years?If you want to propose countermeasures, you must first find the problem, and then propose a feasible solution to the problem.However, this question touches too much vested interests, and I am afraid that it will be blocked halfway before it is too late. If you dare not even ask the question, then you are not qualified to be the sword in the hands of the emperor.

Shen Chu couldn't help but admire and even admire Fan Yong and Su Zhan. Scholars like Fan Yong wholeheartedly serve the world and the common people, and don't care about all kinds of power and interests. ;Like Su Zhan, who is frank and romantic by nature, has extraordinary talent, and does whatever he wants without sticking to the vulgar.

On the other hand, he himself wants to do what he wants but looks forward and backward, and he doesn't have any feelings for the world. He just wants to protect himself and his family, and his talents and learning are only standing on the shoulders of giants.

Shen Chu was still stuck in a slump and couldn't get out, not even a single word was moved on the draft paper.

Mao Tuan urged in his mind, "Why are you in a daze! Answer the question, what are you thinking so much about?"

"You thought that what you got was really a starting point novel to upgrade the male protagonist, what kind of common people's society is it? What you got is a script of a novel about love and childbirth, which is specially used to raise cubs and fall in love—"

Shen Chu: "You! You!—"

Mao Tuan: I accidentally told the whole truth!

But the dead chicken still had a stubborn mouth, and insisted, "Huh! What's the matter? Am I not telling the truth? Besides, you earn enough life points, then do tasks, and live happily with Zai Zai and Li Di's family." Are you having a bad day?"

Shen Chu: "Huh? Who and Li Di are a family of three?—" Indeed, he also just wants to live a safe and happy life with Zai Zai, so why do he think so much.

"By the way, what do you mean by pure love novel?"

Mao Tuan: "Ha, haha, the meaning of pure love novels is that they are very simple love novels——"

Shen Chu felt that he didn't quite believe it, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the literal meaning, so he didn't think too much, and changed his focus, "Love novel? Who is in love with whom?" His heart beat faster, and he and Li Dizhi Time is not love.

Mao Tuan deliberately said: "Of course it's the love between your brother and the heroine. You don't think it's between you and the villain Li Di, do you? What about the big villain, but, even if it’s not your love story, as long as the task is done well, the three of you still have a chance to live a happy life—”

Shen Chu:...!He was so angry that he silenced the hair ball in his mind.

He felt that he really had a brain twitch, and he had been chatting with this color for so long.But with such an interruption, he really didn't have the heart to think so much.

The time left was not enough, so I took a pen and made a draft, checked it carefully a few times, and then copied it on the roll.

The emperor sat on the throne, lowering his eyes slightly to observe the candidates in the hall secretly. Some of them had never seen such a big battle, and they were still trembling after a long time after the exam started. , but the top few in the gongju or the familiar children of the aristocratic family paid a little more attention.

He was a little more curious about Shen Chu, and spent most of the time observing him without attracting attention, and found that the child had been in a daze since the exam started, and after half a stick of incense, he suddenly seemed to be awake. There was no pause once the pen was written, and it was done in one go.

The emperor is busy with court affairs, so he won't sit here all day.Not long after Shen Chu started to write, he left, and came back again in the middle, and found that he had already written and started copying. He couldn't help being quite surprised, and felt that this kid was also very quick-witted.

When the gong sounded at the right hour of the unitary hour, the examinee stopped writing, and the one-day palace examination finally came to an end.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

I finally finished coding today's copy before seven o'clock, hoping to save the manuscript for another day and update the time stably.

Dong: Only Zaizai’s Memeda and the little angels’ Huahua can work hard——

Zai Zai: MUA~

Dong: Where are the flowers of the little angels? ~
