Omi had to sit up

As soon as he heard the word "Emperor", Li Yezhi suddenly regained his spirits, and gave Chen Shu a look of "I told you it would be like this".

Chen Shu said nothing, pretending he didn't see it.

Earlier, he had guessed that the top three in the new division were notified to be hunted, and they would inevitably be interviewed by the emperor in person. Li Yezhi was nervous and excited just thinking about it.Chen Shu next to him was quite calm. Compared with the uncontrollable excitement in the corners of Li Yezhi's eyes and brows, he remained silent. He got up and followed Master Zhang and Li Yezhi to leave the shed where the lower-rank officials stayed.

Mr. Zhang brought the two of them to the spacious school field opened up in front of the forest in the mountains.The school ground is on the plain in front of the mountain, surrounded by flags, fluttering in the air, hunting and dancing with the wind.Under the flag, there are hundreds of civil and military officials standing by the side, the palace guards are waiting in formation, and the horses and horses are on standby with their bridles. The atmosphere is dignified and solemn.

At the feet of the emperor, he looked really majestic.

Chen Shu thought to himself, suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes in his ears, the sound of iron hooves hitting the ground, clanging powerfully.He heard the sound and looked towards the sound of the horse's hooves, only to see a man wearing a black robe with dark patterns of a golden dragon on it, with dancing claws entrenched.He was sitting on a white horse, and the horse's hoofs were flying, galloping past the gate of the school grounds.Chen Shu's eyes fell on the man's face, and he saw the man's long hair and jade crown, showing his eyes as cold as a pool of water.

When he saw these eyes for the first time, he was taken aback for a moment, and felt a little familiar.

Suddenly, the scene he saw in the garden outside the imperial study room the night before flashed across his mind, and Chen Shu was shocked.

Mr. Zhang's voice rang in his ear.When Master Zhang saw the person on the horse, he quickly raised his clothes and bowed his head, knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty, the champion and second place of the new department have been brought here."

Dust and green mud were kicked up where the horse's hooves passed, and the ground was full of dust and sand.But Mr. Zhang was very respectful and didn't dare to get up immediately.

Li Yezhi quickly reacted and followed to meet the rider.Chen Shu was standing where he was, but under the hint of Li Yezhi's eyes, he finally followed suit.

As if hearing a sound, the sound of horseshoes slowed down slightly.Another voice sounded in front of him: "Your Majesty, how does this horse feel? It is the late Emperor's favorite flying steed. It is a precious steed that can travel thousands of miles in a day. If the Emperor can control this horse, this hunt will be even more powerful."

The voice was very familiar, it was Taiwei Qi's voice.

The person sitting on the horse responded lightly: "Just this horse."

Qi Yanchu laughed, raised his head and pointed at the three people kneeling at the gate of the school grounds, and said: "Your Majesty, this person is here too, let's make a fortune, why don't we start?"

"Okay." The emperor replied again.

Qi Yanchu looked at the two people in front, and when he glanced at the thinnest red-clothed figure, his eyes narrowed slightly, but the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he quickly raised his voice: "The newly promoted top three, hurry up and come to the front. "

Li Yezhi raised his head and was stunned for a while, seeing a person from the civil service office walking in front of the emperor, he dared to stand up and walk in front of the emperor.

Chen Shu followed behind.

He didn't have any expression on his face, but at this moment, there was a wave of turmoil in his heart, with a trace of regret.

The appearance of this emperor is exactly the same as the man he saw in the garden that day. If he had known that the man was the current Holy Majesty, he should not have passed the letter to the imperial study, but should have crumpled the paper in the attic , and delivered it to the man.

In this way, his notice must be in place, and the emperor may also be able to clearly know that Qi Taiwei is going to rebel.

However, things backfired, and the emperor is still with Qi Taiwei.Whether he knows or not is a question. Chen Shu wanted to sound the alarm, but there were civil and military officials watching him. Yan Chu will not sit still and beat him up on charges of deceiving the public and slandering the auxiliary ministers.

Not worth the candle.

Chen Shu quickly thought about countermeasures.Qi Yanchu who was next to him said, "Lin Bangyan, why are you walking slower than your daughter's house? This is Yuqian, not the capital city."

"..." Chen Shu froze slightly.

The original owner's hobbies were widely spread, and all the people present were Beijing officials, many of them pursed their lips, and there was a knowing sarcasm in their eyes.

Some civil and military officials had never seen Lin Chenshu before, so they couldn't help but look at the second place curiously at this moment. They saw that Lin Chenshu was tall and thin, and he wasn't as bad as Qi Yanchu said, but above the red clothes With fair skin, eyebrows like distant blue, and red lips, ordinary women are much more eye-catching at first glance.

Sensing many eyes on him, Chen Shumo glanced at Qi Yanchu.

At this time, Qi Yanchu was wearing light armor and leading a tall horse. He was tall and tall, and he was looking down at him.The horse beside him also snorted, flicked its tail, and stamped its hooves on the spot.

There were butterflies flying beside the hooves, startled by the horseshoes, and scattered in all directions.

The emperor next to him didn't say anything, he just raised his eyes.

Chen Shu withdrew his gaze, took two steps forward and stood by Li Yezhi's side.Afterwards, Tanhua Muheng also stood up.

This time, the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and No. [-] winners of the gold list are all here in front of the imperial court.When Qi Yanchu saw this, he showed a satisfied smile: "Today, what the emperor wants to hunt is to have fun. The three are the first batch of candidates after the emperor succeeded to the throne. They should be outstanding and talented. It is better to use 'hunting' as a Questions, improvisation, to make a splash for this game?"

The assistant minister Qi Taiwei spoke, even if he asked, no one dared to refute.After the imperial examination, the emperor would have personally interviewed the top three. This matter should have been discussed in front of the palace, but this time the emperor called everyone to the hunting ground, and it was Qi Taiwei who asked questions.

All the officials were very interested, and they all wanted to see how the newly promoted top three Jinshi would deal with it.

The three Jinshi lead the question and think about it separately.

Chen Shu frowned secretly.When it comes to literary talent, Lin Chenshu is only a half-assed person, and he himself is not worthy of attention here.How should he deal with this kind of thing?

The butterflies scattered beside the horse's hooves fluttered gently, circling quietly to the hem of Chen Shu's clothes.

Chen Shu thought, his eyelids slightly raised, and suddenly secretly looked at the emperor whom he was asked to protect.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was also looking at him at this time, and the eyes of the two collided.

The man's eyes were heavy, looking at his own face.

"!"

Chen Shu was startled, and quickly looked away.

However, serving the imperial court pays attention to the word "fast".After Taiwei Qi finished posing the questions, Li Yezhi had already volunteered to win the first prize.

"The horse rides on the swallow, and the thousand horses ride the treasured horse in the autumn field,

Long Zhanye, EMI Spring and Autumn Rejuvenate our country! "

When it comes to writing poems, Li Yezhi doesn't give up much.As soon as the poem was mentioned, all the civil and military officials on the field nodded and discussed in a low voice.

"Sure enough, he is a well-known gifted scholar in the capital, quick thinking, what do you think, Your Majesty?" Taiwei Qi said sideways.

"It's a good start." The emperor said with a slight curl of his lips on his stern face.

Seeing the emperor smiled, all the courtiers beside him nodded in agreement.Taiwei Qi followed suit, and set his eyes on Lin Chenshu: "Since the champion won the first lottery, then the second lottery... Lin Bong second, I'll leave it to you."

It took less than half a quarter of an hour to think, and the people who watched the show fell on the second place in red again.

Lin Chenshu is the son of a merchant, if his father hadn't been courting people all day long to give money everywhere, and he didn't know what kind of luck he had, he might not be able to be in the elegant hall for the rest of his life.Thinking of this, they couldn't help being interested, and wanted to see how Lin Chenshu would behave in front of the emperor this time.

You must know that the newly enthroned emperor is happy but not angry, but he is a difficult master to serve.

The ministers couldn't help but looked at Xie Zhen with separate eyes, and saw the new emperor in black sitting on the saddle of a flying steed, not expressing joy or anger, looking down at Lin Chenshu who was kneeling.

"The grassroots are not talented, and they can't write a poem as majestic as Li Zhuangyuan." Chen Shu lowered his head tightly, and said in a steady voice, "There is only one doggerel that I want to dedicate to the emperor."

"A doggerel?" A dignified Jinshi made a doggerel, Qi Taiwei showed contempt, "You just do it."

The emperor looked at Chen Shu and said nothing.

"That grassroots made a fool of himself." Chen Shu raised his head slowly, smiled at Taiwei Qi, and looked at the emperor calmly again.

"There is hunting in the autumn field today, and dangers are everywhere in the mountains and forests," he said.

Captain Qi: "..."

Qi Yanchu's complexion tightened slightly, showing nervousness.

Lin Chenshu is so weird, what nonsense did he say in front of the imperial court? !

He hurriedly glanced secretly at the emperor beside him, only to see that Zhen still looked immobile, and even his expression remained the same as before.

The courtiers headed by the side also looked at each other, and one of the officials of the Imperial Academy couldn't help but said: "Nonsense! How can you say such an unlucky thing."

A few people around quickly reconsidered.

Standing by the side, Li Yezhi couldn't help but look at Lin Chenshu. Although he knew that Lin Chenshu's talents were not advanced, it would not be considered a lucky draw if he said such a thing in front of the emperor.

Instead, Xie Zhen stretched out his hand to stop the discussion next to him: "Interesting, what's the next sentence?"

Chen Shu thought about it.

"The beasts come one, two, three, four, five, six, and they will die without regret if they come to the holy face."

"..."

"..."

Everyone is silent, this, is this a doggerel? ? ?

Li Yezhi, who was closest to the statement, heard the so-called poem from Lin Chenshu's mouth, and couldn't help but cast a glance at Lin Chenshu.As a gifted scholar in the capital, he is the number one scholar in the new discipline, and he has a brilliant literary talent. He has never heard such a bad poem.

This poem is uneven, without rhyme, and even the number of words is not aligned, just like a three-year-old child.

If you want to say that this poem is bad, this poem flatters the emperor to the sky. What kind of face to face with the emperor's death without regret? But it's hard to say.

The corner of Li Yezhi's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to evaluate Lin Chenshu beside him.The civil servants and military officials beside them also had different expressions, some were frowning, some were weird, and some were speechless.

Only Taiwei Qi's face softened a little, thinking that Lin Chenshu's posturing was nothing more than that.

Several butterflies surrounding Lin Chenshu's clothes were still dancing, and one gently circled around the red ribbon on Lin Chenshu's cheek, lingering.

He is not good at choosing words and sentences, but his first two sentences are intended to remind the emperor that the last two sentences are pure nonsense.Lin Chenshu looked up at Xie Zhen.

Xie Zhen sat on the flying steed, and the flying steed under his seat lightly kicked his hooves on the spot, while the man sitting on the flying steed, with a white face and a jade crown, was unparalleled in indifference. He was holding the reins, and his eyes swept across the forest. The butterfly on Chen Shu's cheek suddenly hooked a smile.

"Lin Bang's second prize is also good." He looked at him and said.

"..."

"..."

The ministers never expected that the always cruel emperor would still eat such a poem, and all of them showed strange expressions.

Li Yezhi also had the expression of swallowing a pigeon egg raw.

Chen Shu's gaze met Xie Zhen's, and he felt that the man's eyes felt as if he had fallen into a swamp. His eyes tightened, and he didn't dare to look any further, so he quickly smiled mischievously: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

All the ministers: "..." This person has a thick skin.

Xie Zhen was noncommittal.

The number one scholar and Tanhua's lottery can be regarded as overturned. When it was Tanhua's turn, Mu Tanhua said that he had little talent and learning, and humbly said that he was not as good as the top two. He would like to replace it with calligraphy. After a while, he wrote "Da Zhan The four characters of "Hongtu" are strong and strong, and they penetrate the back of the paper.

This calligraphy drew Taiwei Qi's praise.

The three Jinshi quickly followed the procedures of Taiwei Qi and were pushed aside again.Taiwei Qi chatted with the emperor for a few more words, then raised his hand, suddenly the sound of drums came from all around the school grounds, shaking the sky.

Among the hundred officials who participated in the hunting tour, they rode out on horseback and lined up separately.Horseshoes, horse neighing and drums intertwined together, and the scene turned out to be incomparably magnificent.

After queuing up, an order was given, the horses galloped, and the military officers charged forward, heading towards the mountains and forests in the western suburbs, the ground of the school ground was trembling.

In an instant, only a few civil servants and servants who did not go hunting were left on the ground in the school grounds.

Chen Shu looked at the messy horseshoe prints on the ground for a while, and then walked out of the school field quickly, ready to go to the mountains and forests to follow the emperor and Taiwei Qi with lightness skills, and to be by the side at any time.

But just as he was about to leave, someone called out from behind: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, wait, where are you going so fast?"

"..."

Chen Shu turned his head and glanced at the number one scholar who ran over.

Probably because he is too easy to talk, Chen Shu always feels that Li Yezhi always likes to drag him for everything.

"I'll go shopping nearby."

The hunting in the autumn field does not restrict people to move around. As long as they have the ability to hunt, the accompanying officials can enter the forest farm to participate.

Li Yezhi was taken aback when he heard the words, then he narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Young master Lin, do you think the same as me again?"

"...What's the same?"

"Of course I went to participate in the hunt." Li Yezhi said enthusiastically, "The emperor is in the forest, and there are many high-ranking officials. If you can show up in front of them, it will be of great benefit to you and me. I am also planning to go there. have a look."

Chen Shu: "..." No, I don't think so.

"There are tigers, leopards, and wolves in the forest. It's too dangerous to go alone," Li Yezhi pulled Chen Shu and said, "Why don't you go with me?"

"..."

"Anyway, I'm too busy, maybe there will be great opportunities inside."

"..." If rebellion is a great opportunity.

Chen Shu looked at Li Yezhi silently, thinking about how to get away from Li Yezhi who had been clinging to him.

Li Yezhi just took Chen Shu to acquiesce, and directly dragged Chen Shu to find the horse official, asked for two horses, and went to the warehouse to ask for two sets of bows and arrows.

He thought very well. Although he and Lin Chenshu were both Jinshi in the same class of imperial examinations and competed with each other, Lin Chenshu's performance in front of the emperor just now was too embarrassing. Quality officials can see it.He dragged Lin Chenshu along, at most it was just a companion, and it wasn't enough of a threat to his official position.

And with Lin Chenshu as a foil, maybe it can highlight his talent even more.

Thinking about it, Li Yezhixing was on his head, and he was having a good time driving the horse. As soon as he got into the woods, he began to look around to see if he could really meet a few officials above the fifth rank, and make a good match.

Chen Shu, who was dragged up by him, followed behind, slowly getting farther and farther away from the other party, preparing to withdraw.

However, just as he was about to leave quietly, when he went to see Li Ye, he turned around excitedly and said, "Young Master Lin, look quickly, there is a figure ahead!"

Chen Shu frowned, and looked ahead, only to see five figures passing by in the forest that Li Yezhi was pointing at. The speed was astonishingly fast, and they did not look like ordinary hunting officials.

Li Yezhi didn't know why, and he had already driven his horse forward.

"Don't go!" Chen Shu's pupils constricted instantly.

However, as soon as he spoke, Li Zhuangyuan had crashed into the woods. He looked at him excitedly, thinking that he would meet some adult, but he saw five or six black-clothed and masked figures standing in front of him instantly. fly over.

The masked man held a long knife in his hand.

……

Li Zhuangyuan's smile froze on his face.

Probably seeing someone coming, the footsteps of several masked men stopped, and the leader made a gesture.The last masked man nodded and stayed, turned his eyes to Li Yezhi's face, and slashed at Li Yezhi with a knife.

"Ah—ah—" Li Yezhi reacted and let out a scream.

However, as far as the eye can see, the blade has already been chopped down.

Li Yezhi was frightened out of his wits, and the thought of "my life is over" flashed across his mind.At this moment, his back collar was pulled violently, and he was immediately ripped off from the horse.

He seemed to be grabbed by someone to avoid a knife, but saw the masked man quickly approaching him with a knife, aiming at his head and trying to chop it off again.

At this time, a figure in red suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Bang—" The sound of iron and blunt wood came from the ear.
