The next day, Tai Chi Hall.

Hundreds of tributes stood in the hall, all of them bowed their heads quietly and solemnly, not daring to look up at the sky.

The official of Chuanlu Temple unfolded the famous scroll, everyone held their breath and concentrated on it, even though they were as calm as Qin Boyue, their hearts couldn't help beating wildly.

"On September 25th, the first year of Yuanhe, the world's tributes will be promoted, the first one will be awarded Jinshi and the first one, and the first one will be the first." The voice of the official of Chuanlu Temple who signed up was very loud and powerful, penetrating the hall, and the Taiji Hall was empty. The voice reverberated, and everyone was nervous, and they felt rumbling in their ears, "Jingzhou Hengxiu Qin Boyue——"

The sudden joy made Qin Boyue a little dizzy, and an eunuch led him out to kneel in the hall.

He took a deep breath and looked up at the emperor.

His Majesty Dan, the young man was also looking at him, and there seemed to be a smile of approval in his dark eyes.

Qin Boyue met the emperor's eyes unexpectedly, and hurriedly lowered his head.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Qin Boyue to believe that a young man who has not yet been crowned can have such calm and majestic eyes.

First in the first class, how prominent!

Qin Boyue was known for his talent, he handled the court examinations calmly, calmly, and was able to be the first in the first class. As everyone expected, the eyes cast on him were all envious, and sometimes deeply jealous.

Gongshi Lu's face paled when he heard Qin Boyue's name, but he quickly looked up at the smiling Gu Wuyu's face, who was obviously really happy for Qin Boyue.

When he saw that the paper was different from what he had prepared in the court examination, he had already lost his sense of proportion, and his mind went blank.

Suddenly I couldn't write anything, and after a while I calmed down a little, but I couldn't write anything, not to mention first-class, even second-class!

"A first-class runner-up, Zhongzhou Huaxian—"

There are no counties or towns in Zhongzhou, and there is only a distinction between Beijing and the suburbs, so the place of origin is only called the state, and nothing else.

The eunuch led a young man out. He was fair-born, with handsome eyebrows and eyes. His cheeks flushed slightly when he was excited, but he didn't lose his composure. He looked like a very quiet person.

"Third in the First Division, Jingzhou Hengxiu Gu Wuyu—"

Before the exam, Gu Wuyu became famous, and he was the most popular among the tributes. Although he was not arrogant, he showed his sharpness, and he didn't know the edge at all.

But I am afraid that his personality is not stable enough, and he is too proud of his youth, which will not be beneficial in the future, so he is simply ranked third.

Gu Wuyu went out to bow down.

Among the three, Gu Wuyu was the most unexpected.

After seeing the emperor's face, he quickly calmed down, thinking that it would be okay to take the exam again in three years.

But this year's test question is exactly what he wanted to say in previous years, even if he can't get the ranking, he still has to express his feelings.

Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't care about his rudeness at all, and ranked him as the third in the first class.

As soon as the name was pronounced, there was a sudden noise from the crowd. Li Chengqi looked, and someone fell to the ground with a pale face, and beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks.

It was Nalu's surname Gongshi.

Standing next to him was Gong Shi, who had a close personal relationship with him during this period, but everyone knew about his previous bet with Gu Wuyu, and his background was not too high. This unknown junior offended Gu Wuyu, who was clearly favored by the emperor.

Besides, disrespect in front of the imperial court is a felony!

Who dares to help him at this time?

Lu Gongshi's eyes were black and white, and the multiple scenes in front of him were swaying, as if he had seen the scene where he really knelt down to Daili Temple. Thinking about the Xinke Jinshi who was proud and admired, and he was ridiculed and ridiculed. Speaking of other things, it is the strict father at home who can't pass the test!His father had always taught him to be cautious, if he knew that he had made such a bet with others, he would probably have been hanged to the beam to be beaten to death before he knelt down.

If he kneels, even if he ranks in the top two, his official career will be ruined in the future, if he doesn't kneel, his reputation will be ruined!

Regret and resentment were intertwined, forcing his eyes to go dark, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop.

The Chuanlu official looked at the emperor, received the emperor's signal, and said loudly: "Three-A No. 40, Anjing Lu, Wuping Prefecture, vowed that he will lose his honor before the imperial court and win fame. He will never be hired!"

As soon as these words came out, all four were shocked.

Even if Lu Shang vowed to be disrespectful in front of the imperial court, he would not be punished so severely. How could he be deprived of his fame and never be appointed?

The reason, even Gu Wuyu and Qin Boyue, who had been with Li Chengqi before, didn't know. After careful consideration, Qin Boyue had a guess in his mind - cheating.

Although he was disrespectful first, even if he had no abnormalities, Li Chengqi would not leave his fame, murder and murder, that's all.

Lu Shangswear didn't think that he had a ranking, and this ranking was deprived of it in front of his eyes, he felt his blood surge up, and almost cried bitterly in front of the court.

Two armored soldiers went to the hall and dragged Lu Shangshi out.

An official dressed in colorful clothes looked at Li Chengqi.

Li Chengqi glanced at him without any order, and then nodded to the Chuanlu officer after looking away, motioning him to continue reading.

The hem of the robe on the official's body was embroidered with brilliant flat leaves, there were hundreds of them, and the patterns were sequentially illuminated with his actions. He bowed his head and walked out with big strides.

This person came quietly, and when he left, the people in the hall seemed to be invisible. Some tributes wondered who this person was.

"knock--"

The three bowed down to Li Chengqi, and were led back to the crowd after the obeisance.

Second Jia and Third Jia no longer called out their bows individually, and their names were read in order.

After reading the name in the morning, the Qionglin Banquet will be held in the afternoon.

Many people jumped for joy, forgetting about this little episode of Lu Shangsao.

All the top three finished reading.

The hall was silent for a while.

Li Chengqi suddenly said, "Where is Gu Wuyu?"

As Gu Wuyu mentioned it in his heart, all the scholars in the palace looked at him.

He walked out from the crowd and bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I am here."

Under the crown, the emperor's face was a little blurry, and only his voice could be heard, "I see that there is an order in your policy file to collect all the outstanding accounts to the household department. Let me ask you, if the officials shirk, How about it?"

Gu Wuyu raised his head and replied calmly, "The collection of old debts will be included in the evaluation of officials. If it is good, it will be rewarded, and if it is not good, it will be punished."

"It's been a long time, it's hard to accept it for a while, what should I do?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there should be two kinds of assessments for a three-year period. One is to see the total number of three years, and the other is to see the amount received each year. According to the actual situation in the local area, choose a different assessment method. Those who are not rewarded are not punished;

Li Chengqi smiled slightly, as if satisfied.

Gu Wuyu was not relieved yet, when he heard the emperor say again: "Gu Tanhua," the voice of Tanhua seemed a little teasing, vaguely making Gu Wuyu feel like seeing Wen Zhao that day, but he immediately realized, "If the local officials want to pay for the three What about exploiting the people under the annual assessment?"

Taking back the debts to the national treasury is a move that benefits the country and the people, but what if the local government deceives the people and exploits the people, making the people miserable and complaining?

Gu Wuyu was taken aback.

The young man is not from a family, but his family is not a small family in the local area, at least the family assets are in the middle of the local area, his father is good at dancing, and he has a personal relationship with local officials. Although they are not considered to be in the same breath, they still have some face to each other .

The exploitation Li Chengqi mentioned naturally did not refer to the exploitation of the country gentry.

This kind of treatment will only fall on the people at the bottom, who have nowhere to ask for help, and who don't even know how to resist.

To die silently, worse than the dust raised by galloping chariots and horses.

And it is such people who are the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty's rule.

The people are water, no matter how powerful the dynasty is, it will be destroyed one day, but it will not be abandoned after all, the rivers and rivers of all ages.

Gu Wuyu kowtowed, this time he was more sincere than the previous two times, he said: "It's because I didn't think carefully."

"Think about it, and come back to Gu after you have the result." Li Chengqi answered casually, but it made the eyes of other Jinshi red.

What Li Chengqi meant was that Gu Wuyu would still have a chance to meet the king in the future.

The time is almost up, the eunuch said loudly: "Bye——"

Everyone kowtowed.

After the emperor left, Fang got up and left under the guidance of the eunuch.

As soon as she left the Tai Chi Hall, Li Chengqi's maintained expression instantly collapsed.

He felt the pain, the pain of being worn out.

The worn-out delicate skin was rubbed against the top material, and the pain made her body even tremble a little. God knows how restrained Li Chengqi was, so she didn't shed tears.

"Your Majesty," Qing Ai asked cautiously, "Do you want to go to Changning Hall?"

Hearing Changning Hall, Li Chengqi suddenly lowered her head in the chariot and looked at Qing Ai.

Xie Mingyue, that bastard!

The bastard talks about obeying the holy will, but he does everything he shouldn't do!

Every little trace was tasted by Xie Hou one by one.

Qing Ai was startled by him, and was about to kneel down when Li Chengqi pressed her shoulder, "No need," the emperor's voice seemed to be gnashing his teeth, "Go back to Changle Palace."

The hotness seems to be still on the skin.

Li Chengqi refused, Xie Mingyue didn't force herself, but she found it elsewhere!

In the end, the little emperor had tears in his eyes, and he didn't even refuse so resolutely, but Xie Mingyue didn't take advantage of it, as if he was waiting for Li Chengqi to ask him.

Li Chengqi felt that there was nothing left of the majesty of the emperor in front of Xie Hou, but she was unwilling to be reconciled to having nothing at all, no matter how eager she was, she just bit Xie Mingyue's lips bitterly to vent her anger, without saying a word.

In the end, she used... Li Chengqi to cover her eyes, as if she saw such an unattainable scene.

Seeing Xie Mingyue's performance last night, how dare he hit him in the palm just because he was drinking!

With Xie Hou's criteria for judging indulgence, what was last night!

Li Chengqi closed her eyes.

Even he himself finds it unbelievable, this body is extremely restrained, and the appearance of a man and a woman is not valuable to him.

However, yesterday, Li Chengqi pressed his fingers so hard that he almost pulled his eyes out. He actually did many unspeakable things with Xie Mingyue in Changning Palace.

Li Chengqi pressed the center of her eyebrows hard.

All the etiquette and self-control are left behind, and what you ask for is only overnight.

It's just that it's not done until the end, and it's just before I can really feel the lingering taste. If I did something, Li Chengqi didn't know if she could still be rational.

Li Chengqi leaned back, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow," he paused, "In this half month, if Gu wants to go to Changning Hall, he will stop Gu."

Qing Mi was startled slightly.

The fickleness of the emperor's mood was simply unpredictable.

But immediately, Qing Ai said: "Yes, I understand."

This is a matter of pleasure and needs to be tempered.

Everything is too late, too much will hurt the body.

Li Chengqi thought so.

At least that's what he thinks now.

……

The Qionglin Banquet was originally a thank-you banquet after the imperial examination. It was named Qionglin Banquet because it was arranged in Qionglin Garden.

At this time, the autumn color is very good, it is just blooming, and it is shining with Yuan Zhongping.

The garden has several floors, seven feet high, divided into five floors, and is used for viewing. Standing on it, the breeze comes from the lake, and the face refreshes the mind. The scene in the garden is unobstructed. .

Qionglin Banquet is located in Pingzhonglin.

Li Chengqi is at the top.

On the side is Li Yan, Prince Xuan.

Everyone wondered why Xie Mingyue was not there when reading the papers this morning, and why Xie Mingyue was still not there when the banquet was held in the afternoon.

The emperor repeatedly asked everyone not to be restrained, and Xie Mingyue was not there, the Jinshi who attended the Qionglin Banquet were all beaming and seemed quite relaxed.

At least it looks relaxed.

Li Chengqi tilted her head to talk to Li Yan.

On the day of the imperial examination, Li Yi knew that the questions were different from those sent by the emperor. However, the questions of the imperial examination could not be determined until the last moment, so he didn't think there was anything wrong.

Li Chengqi shook the wine in the glass, and looked at Li Yan who was talking to her with a smile.

It's not that his younger brother is not smart, on the contrary, sometimes he is just too smart and mellow, and he is unwilling to offend anyone, and will not offend anyone.

So the courtiers praised Li Chengqi, and for Li Chengqi's mother's Cui family, Li Yan was even more helpful, and he was very measured, so that Li Chengqi would not feel disgusted.

Cui had a very good impression of Li Yan, and even the Empress Dowager knew Li Chengqi as his younger brother.

And when Li Chengqi asked about Li Yan's reason, Prince Xuan replied with sincerity and fear, saying that he just wanted to make the Queen Mother happy.

Being so caring and cautious as a minister and younger brother, Li Chengqi has no reason not to favor and trust Li Yan.

However, no one is willing to offend, which means that anyone can rely on Li Yan.

If you want to know a person, first look at his friends.

These people around Li Yan are not his friends, but they can also know a thing or two about Li Yan's actions through these people.

Li Chengqi took a sip of wine slowly.

Li Yan slowly closed his mouth under Li Chengqi's smiling gaze, "Your Majesty?"

Li Chengqi put down the wine glass, shook her head and smiled, "I'm fine."

For example, Li Yan's smoothness, or Xie Mingyue's strength, are not what Li Chengqi wants to see.

He pressed the center of his brows, his eyes fell on Man Konglai, and he got up and left.

Qing Ai hurriedly followed with her cloak, not forgetting to drag Man Kong over.

If the emperor didn't let him accompany him, he couldn't accompany him.

Li Yan glanced at Qing Ai, from the beginning to the end, Qing Ai never looked in his direction.

Li Yan raised his wine glass, Fang Jue Qiong Lin Yan became quiet for a moment, he smiled and said: "Everyone do as you please."

For some reason, Li Chengqi walked slower than usual today, but he walked leisurely, as if he just wanted to walk slowly, not because of injury.

Man Konglai couldn't help looking at the back of Li Chengqi's neck, he glanced at Qing Mi from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help twisting his fingers, at this moment, there was a sound of piercing through the forest.

A bright-colored figure came from not far away. There was a dark red fish talisman hanging on the man's waist, and a jet-black short knife was hanging beside it. The scabbard had a very strange shape and was crooked. When I looked at it suddenly, I couldn't tell what it was.

The Rong people grew up on the cold grasslands all year round, and the environment they lived in was much harsher than that of the Central Plains. The various tribes fought endlessly, which was different from the poetry and etiquette learned by the young people of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains. How to survive was the first lesson they learned, and it was also A lesson to be learned throughout life.

Perhaps because of his overly conspicuous eye color and hair color, the man's eyes fell on him for a moment.

That kind of gaze with probing and murderous intent.

Man Konglai's back tensed, he lowered his head, and obediently stood behind Li Chengqi.

The young man walked in front of Li Chengqi, although he was not wearing a military uniform, he saw a military salute, a scar on the corner of his lips, even though his smile was restrained, it still seemed to be smiling.

If there is an old minister here, he will be extremely shocked.

This person is Zhang Zhusou, the leader of the emperor's inner guard.

When Li Yanyin was in hiding, it was precisely because Li Chengqi controlled the imperial army that he was able to force his father to abdicate.

Since Li Chengqi ascended the throne, the forbidden army was still used, but a new army was formed, which was called the inner guard Yuhou.

Yuhou acted independently of the six ministries, and even his official uniforms were different from those of the ministers. In order to be able to identify his identity at a glance, the leader was directly appointed by Li Chengqi.

Zhang Zhusou is the leader of the Marquis of Desire.

Li Chengqi raised his hand to make Zhang Zhusou stand up and answer.

Zhang Zhusou got up and said directly: "Your Majesty, I have exhausted all my moves."

Li Chengqi nodded slightly, "Is there any connection with Prince Xuan?"

Qing Mi and Man Konglai are both startled.

Zhang Zhusou answered truthfully, "My lord doesn't know."

The management of the family is not strict, and the knowledge of people is unknown.

Such a shortcoming is not considered a big one, but it is a big omission and a mistake for a person of Li Yan's status.

Li Chengqi frowned and remained silent.

Zhang Zhusou stood in front of Li Chengqi silently.

He didn't need to think about what Li Chengqi was thinking, nor what Li Chengqi was going to do. All he had to do was to carry out the emperor's order.

As the head of an organization that relies on the emperor's trust, Zhang Zhusou is loyal to the emperor and only to the emperor.

Losing the trust of the emperor, with a knife like theirs, the result is only a dead end.

However, Zhang Zhusou couldn't help looking at Li Chengqi's face, and lamented that the similar blood was so miraculous. It was so miraculous that he was summoned by the new emperor for the first time. When he met the new emperor, he was like seeing Li Zhao.

Li Chengqi seemed to have figured it out quickly, she relaxed her brows, and said, "Go ask Qin Boyue to come and see Gu, the place is..." The wind was blowing on his body, and he thought for a while, "It's in the Nuan Pavilion."

The location is the closest, and it is more convenient to speak. Besides, the Nuan Pavilion is located on the pavilion, with a great view of the scenery, and the banquet below can be seen at a glance.

Qing Ai hurriedly turned around and ordered someone to go over.

Zhang Zhusou knew that he had nothing to do here, and waited for the emperor to let him resign.

He glanced at the Rong man behind Li Chengqi with a half-smile.

The puppy raised by His Majesty is really different.

Li Chengqi walked slowly towards Nuan Pavilion.

In the Nuan Pavilion, Xie Mingyue listened to the embarrassment of the palace people to come with her majesty, and asked Qin Boyue to come together, and very understandingly ordered the people to pick up the documents, and vacate the Nuan Pavilion for the emperor—vacate the outside room.

He is inside.
