Three days later, Shang Zihan was dressed in white and held a folding fan. Under the watchful eyes of Ye Yu and the others, Shang Zihan followed the eunuchs who came to welcome him into the carriage and entered the palace.The Luoyang Imperial Palace is majestic and majestic. During the Tang Dynasty, it was even known as "the residence of Emperor Xiaohan, the Kingdom of Heluo".In the past, many dynasties established their capitals here, and Shang Zihan stayed in Luoyang for several months in recent years, leaving her footprints in all the streets and streets, but she never set foot inside the palace.

Now, she wants to go in and have a look at the grandeur of the millennium imperial capital.Looking to the north, there are thousands of palaces, towers and halls, stretching for more than ten miles.The Zeguo Imperial Palace follows the palaces of the previous dynasty, and in recent years, it has extensively repaired the palaces of the previous dynasty. After years of hard work, it has also reproduced the style of the past.

"Young master, please."

"Eunuch, please."

Enter Yingtian Gate and enter Qianyang Hall.

At this time, there were already people waiting in the hall, and as soon as Shang Zihan entered, an eunuch would lead the way for him.When Shang Zihan was looking at Qianyang Palace, someone was also looking at her.It's just that when Shang Zihan turned his attention away, he disappeared again.

Soon after, the huge Qianyang Hall was full of civil and military officials who had come to court, waiting for the palace examination to begin.

There are six other people who are the same as Shang Zihan. This caused Shang Zihan to be confused for a moment, and quickly asked, "Elder-in-law, who are these six?"

"Returning to your son, among the six are not only talented scholars in the two imperial examinations, but also well-known knights in the world, and there are also heirs of pillars in the court."

"Your Majesty wants Her Majesty the Princess to choose a son-in-law from among us?"

"How does our family understand what His Majesty is thinking. But Your Majesty has always loved the princess, and I think this is also Her Majesty's idea."

"Eunuch, do you know the six young masters?" Shang Zihan originally thought that Guan Zanglong would mainly ask the top three questions during the palace examination, but now four more people came out suddenly, presumably these people also have something special. "I heard from the master of the royal study that the second place and the third place have already been booked, and the decree has been delivered early in the morning. Except for you, son, all the people here are talents that His Majesty values."

"... Excuse me, father-in-law, who are these six people?"

"Among these six people are the prime minister's son Li Mingda, the general Li Che's son Li Junyi, the counselor Junren, the general Liu Di, the scholar Xiao Jingse, and the swordsman Taxue Wuhen."

"Thank you, Eunuch." As Shang Zihan said, he took an ingot of silver from his sleeve and put it in the eunuch's palm, and let the eunuch take it with a smile.

As soon as the father-in-law beside him left, there was no one around Shang Zihan.It's like being deliberately isolated, attracting attention.Shang Zihan thought about it now, now that the No. [-] Scholar has not yet been decided, but the No. [-] and No. [-] candidates have been booked early, and the No. [-] Scholar position is already clear at a glance from the words of the father-in-law just now.It's just that Guan Zanglong wanted Guan Qingyao to choose a husband-in-law, so he called six other people over.

After about a moment, Guan Zanglong and his party came over.

After saluting, Guan Zanglong said with a smile: "Today is to choose a son-in-law for my beloved daughter. The seven of you are well-versed in civil and military skills, and you are also the best among the younger generation. Can you be sure of this palace test?"

"Grass people should do their best."

Guan Zanglong was naturally happy when he heard this, "Your Majesty, you are the one to come up with the questions for today's palace examination. The seven of them answered, if they get what you want, they will be your husband-in-law. How about it?"

"My son understands."

At this time, Yun Zanyue was wearing a silver palace dress, with long black hair hanging down to her waist. When she stood up, the eyes of everyone in the hall moved along with her. "Dare to ask the seven, can they be a couple for a lifetime." Many bloody men in the hall had no time to listen to Guan Qingyao's beautiful, refreshing voice like Juanjuan spring water, but they were shocked by the words.

At the same time, Shang Zihan felt that the aura of the men around him had changed, and some of them were mixed with anger.Looking at Guan Qingyao, who was standing in a high position, his expression was a bit ugly at this time, presumably these people had already been crossed by Guan Qingyao.Shang Zihan smiled wryly. It's not too much for a princess to ask for a lifetime with her son-in-law. These men are really...

"There are trees in the mountains, and there are branches in the trees, and the heart is pleasing to the king, and the king does not know it."

"Who are you."

"Back to the princess, Shang Zihan, a grass-roots man."

Shang Zihan knew very well that he was an early bird, if Guan Qingyao and Guan Zanglong were unhappy with his words and deeds later, Guan Zanglong would definitely teach himself a lesson.

"Shang Zihan?" Guan Zanglong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had some impressions of the name. This time the imperial examination was the main selection of policy theory, and Shang Zihan's writing was excellent, which made him very satisfied. "Where is Shang Zihan's ancestral home?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the ancestral home of the Caomin is Jiangcheng."

When Guan Zanglong heard that Shang Zihan's ancestral home was in Jiangcheng, his eyes became more serious, and his tone was even more displeased: "Humph. Jiangcheng is now a town in Daxi. Let me ask you, do you remember the requirements for choosing a son-in-law?" Guan Zanglong was satisfied when he saw that this young man who called himself Shang Zihan was not humble in his words and deeds.If you can choose a good man as your husband for Jinyang, you can also make suggestions for the country.It's just why the ancestral home is Jiangcheng?

"Your Majesty, choosing a son-in-law requires the grassroots to know. Jiangcheng was originally our territory in the early years. Three years ago, the two countries went to war, and our dynasty lost Jiangcheng." Shang Zihan was not afraid that Guan Zanglong would be furious because of this, but continued: "The grasslands are originally from Jiangcheng. , but now they have already settled in Anyang, and have moved to Anyang to settle down since their grandfather." Shang Zihan had already prepared, not only for her, but also for the rest of the Daxi people in Luoyang City. The overall collapse of the plan was caused by a small native place problem.

At this point, Guan Zanglong didn't continue to ask Shang Zihan what he meant.Instead, he smiled and said to Guan Qingyao: "Imperial son, father has finished asking, do you have anything else you want to ask Shang Zihan?"

Guan Qingyao had seen the reactions of these people just now, and except for Shang Zihan's words and deeds, the rest of them were already out of the game.What made Guan Qingyao more concerned was that Shang Zihan seemed to have a piece of the jade pendant hanging around his waist, could it be a pair? "Father, there is nothing wrong with my son."

"From today on, Shang Zihan will be my son-in-law."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"Caomin thank His Majesty for the marriage."

The candidate for Guan Qingyao's son-in-law has been decided, and the rest of the candidates, no matter how unwilling they are, can only hold hands and bow to congratulate Shang Zihan on becoming the son-in-law of Zeguo.After Shang Zihan returned the gifts one by one, he followed the previous eunuchs and left the palace.

Not long after Shang Zihan left the palace, there were servants who announced that he was the top three in the current department, beating gongs and drums to congratulate the high school talents.

Shang Zihan had just returned home in a carriage, when the yamen servants who announced there were beating drums and gongs all the way calling for the news of her high school champion.

"Congratulations to Mr. Shang, the number one scholar in high school, for becoming Princess Jinyang's son-in-law."

"Happy together."

After the yamen servant who came to make an announcement left, Ye Yu and the two found the opportunity to ask about what happened in the hall this morning.

"My lord, you...how can you become Guan Qingyao's son-in-law? This...it doesn't make sense."

"The identity of the son-in-law will help me get closer to Guan Zanglong or the rest of the Guan family faster and easier."

"But son, Guan Qingyao, she..."

"It's what I owe her."
