Lunar Years of the Gorgeous Family

Chapter 20 Palace Exam First

"Here comes the porridge, little lord, you..." I looked up and saw that the bed was empty, "I'm sick, I need to eat more, and then take medicine"

Putting down the porridge and sitting by the bed, touching the bed that was still slightly warm, his heart suddenly felt sad, he suddenly hated New Year's Eve, if he didn't come last night, they would still think the same, although in the military camp he always He is looking for trouble for himself, and he always plays tricks on himself, but at least he is willing to take care of himself, but now?He would never talk to himself again, and he didn't want to stay for even a moment.

After Li Jianhui returned to the palace, he locked himself in the room, covered himself in the quilt, and wept silently.Although he really wanted to be like a man and wanted to stop his tears, he couldn't.

"Hui'er, you open the door. I heard from the servant that you looked ugly when you came back. Did you hurt your stomach from drinking? I'll ask the imperial doctor to show you."

At this time, he wanted to cry even more when he heard his father's voice, so he tried his best to suppress it, "Oh, it's okay, father, I don't want to go anywhere today, I just need to take a rest, and leave me alone."

"Don't you need to drink some hangover soup? You have fun in Mufu, young people just like to play."

"Well, happy, very happy." Almost gritted his teeth and said, "Father, I am really tired and want to have a good rest."

"Oh, good, you rest, father will not disturb you."

For one month in a row, the people near King Qin's Mansion would see General Mu standing on the edge of a big tree ten feet away from King Qin's Mansion, and they would just look at the gate of King Qin's Mansion and would not go in.Everyone couldn't figure out why General Mu spent so much time, instead of staying in the barracks, he came to King Qin's mansion instead.

On this day, General Mu stood there as usual, but the figure he was familiar with never appeared, and it was his housekeeper Wang who waited instead.

"Uncle Wang, why are you in such a hurry."

"General, the emperor sent someone to tell the general to enter the palace, saying that the palace examination is about to begin, and asked you to go to the meeting hall to discuss the general's examination matters. He also said that if you are still hanging around in front of King Qin's mansion and not doing business, you will be demoted." job."

"The emperor knows, I will enter the palace right away." After speaking, he hurried to the palace.

As soon as he entered the meeting hall, he saw that the emperor, Leng Yuefeng, the prime minister, and the grand master were already sitting in the hall, Mu Shan hurriedly saluted on one knee, "The future is late, please punish me, Your Majesty."

"Okay, I don't care about your affairs, but don't delay the court affairs." Li Jianrong didn't have time to punish him, so he warned him, but he really couldn't guess what happened to him and Li Jianhui.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, General." Hearing that Li Jianrong didn't pursue it, he was very grateful.

"General Mu, I have already discussed with Leng Qing, Xu Qing, and Liu Qing about the civil service examination, and now I want to discuss with you the specific matters of the military officer palace examination. General Mu would like to share your opinion."

"Yes, the general thinks that judging from the current situation, it is not only required to pass the military skills, but also to have a certain military thinking, to be able to adapt to the situation and make plans on the battlefield.

However, such talents may not be easy to meet. The main thing is to pass the martial arts, and to be able to obey management and have a collective consciousness.Most of the generals in previous years disobeyed the management and were expelled from the barracks or demoted. "

"Well, what General Mu said is reasonable. The assessment criteria for military attaches will also be changed. You should go back to the Ministry of War to discuss with the generals. General Fu has been in poor health recently. You should worry more about it in the Ministry of War and communicate with Fu Weifu more. , the affairs of the military camp will be handed over to Deputy General Jin and the others first, and that kid Jian Hui, I don’t know what the hell is going on this month...General Mu, I will give you half a month, and I will leave it to you to take charge of the military commander’s palace examination."

"The general obeys orders." Hearing His Majesty mention Li Jianhui, his heart skipped a beat!For a moment, he is like this... It's all because of me.

"Seniors Xu Qing and Liu Qing, you will have to work hard these few days to discuss with Leng Qing about the civil service examination."

"The veteran will definitely do his best." Xu Cheng and Liu Yu said in unison.

"Everyone go to work on their own."

"The minister (the last general) resigns."

Seeing that everyone had left, Li Jianrong raised his head from the pile of official documents, looked at the deserted figure and sighed secretly.Alas, since that night, he has been ignoring me, as if nothing happened, sometimes he deliberately tested him, and he said impatiently that he was drunk that night and didn't remember anything.

"General Mu sees that your complexion is not good, is there something wrong recently?" Leng Yuefeng found that something was wrong with Mu Shan in the hall just now, so he stepped forward to express his condolences.

"Oh, Mr. Leng is too worried. There are a lot of things to deal with during the Chinese New Year. Maybe I'm tired. It's not a serious problem."

"So, General Mu needs to rest more, and the body is also very important." Leng Yuefeng saw that Mu Shan didn't need to say much and didn't force it.

"Thank you Lord Leng, I will leave at the end."

"Farewell." Looking at Mu Shan's lonely back, he always felt that things were not simple.

Finally, the day of the palace examination came, and it was already two months later. During the first month of the new year, Emperor Lingwu of the Dasheng Dynasty launched a new policy, and all parts of the country implemented the biggest reform since the new emperor. Wenshengwusheng who came from the audition all gathered in the holy city, and the holy city was very lively all of a sudden.The shops have also benefited greatly from it.It can be said that this selection can not only select talents for the imperial court, but also imperceptibly promote the commercial development of the entire court.

The Palace Examination is actually only held for three days. On the first day, all candidates, regardless of whether they are literati or martial arts students, have to take a writing test. This is an explanation that was issued to various places when the New Deal was launched. Although the time left for candidates to prepare is limited, it is the New Deal after all. standards will be slightly lowered.All martial arts students can still participate in the martial arts test if they fail to pass the writing skills, and the writing test questions of martial arts students are not as difficult as those of Wen students.It is nothing more than the actual combat response and other issues, which made all the martial arts students breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

After the first day of the exam, there was a two-day break between the exams. The purpose was to give the examiners time to select, and then there were two consecutive days of ability assessments. Wensheng and Wusheng were tested separately and at the same time.The Emperor Wenshi sits in person, and Prime Minister Xu assists in invigilating the exam.The martial arts test is conducted by General Mu, Taishi Liu sits in charge, and Leng Yuefeng invigilates the test.Li Jianrong was a little unhappy when he heard such a result at the time, why did Leng Yuefeng want to be with him, the martial arts test was held in the school grounds in the western suburbs, the wind in early spring was the strongest, and when he turned around, Leng Yuefeng blew it into darkness.But several ministers, including Leng Yuefeng himself, gave many reasonable reasons, so Li Jianrong had no choice but to give up.

Exams are always less intense than gunpowder. Usually, everyone looks kind. When you come to the examination room, no matter who you look at, you will stare at each other like an enemy. If there is something wrong with you, the other party will attack you in terms of expressions and small movements. It depends on your morale and confidence. Only those who are fully prepared, confident, and treat everyone as a carrot and cabbage can "throw everyone on the street" instead of being "thrown on the street".

The literary test is a palace test in the true sense, because it is held in the Palace of Political Affairs in the imperial palace. You must know that the Palace of Political Affairs is the place where ministers usually go to court. Being able to directly contact this place of the Holy Spirit will boost the morale of the examinees invisibly, of course It can also be that some people are more nervous.Moreover, there are more than [-] people in the Dasheng Dynasty sitting on top of their heads to invigilate their own exams. It is impossible to say that they are not nervous, but there is someone who sits firmly on the throne all the way.

At this time, Emperor Ling Wu looked at the person who had won first place in the previous two exams, his eyes were sharp, but his expression was calm.Song Yuqing, I am waiting for you alone.

The five-day exam is finally over. Although I usually feel that five days is a blink of an eye, for candidates, five days is like living a bloody life on the tip of a sword. It is difficult, but I don’t want it hurry over.Everyone exerted the power of nine bulls and two tigers, wishing to show all their talents.

The sound of announcing the end of the time came from the Yizheng Hall, which echoed the sound from the western suburbs, indicating that the selection of the Dasheng Dynasty this year had come to an end.The imperial court announced that the selection results will be announced in three days, and candidates can go back and wait for the notification.

After Leng Yuefeng finished the two-day invigilation, he just returned to Fuliu Pavilion when he saw Li Jianrong sitting in the front hall waiting for him. He started to be a little stunned. He reacted in time and walked into the hall, "I don't know that His Majesty is coming... "

"Okay, Leng Qing, come here and let Gu see if you're tanned." Li Jianrong couldn't wait to pull Leng Yuefeng in front of him, look at his face, and touch his arm, "Oh, you Look thinner."

Quickly put some distance away, "Your Majesty, it is the duty of a humble official to serve His Majesty." Without giving Li Jianrong a chance to speak, he called Caixing to pour him tea.Then quickly do it to the side.

Li Jianrong saw that he deliberately distanced himself from him, and felt uncomfortable. It has been three months, and he has returned to the level of lukewarmness before. What's the matter? With the cold moon wind on his wrist, he led him to the bedroom.

Now Leng Yuefeng was in a hurry, "Your Majesty, let go of this minister, what are you doing, if you have anything to say, just ask, why..."

Li Jianrong quickly closed the bedroom door, leaned him against the door, spread his hands on both sides of his head, and fixed him between the door and him, then Li Jianrong stared at him with a long dark face. not talking.

Leng Yuefeng really didn't know why he was going crazy again, "Your Majesty, although the palace examination is over, there are still many things to be busy, you shouldn't waste your time here."

Seeing Leng Yuefeng frowning and refusing, Li Jianrong became even angrier.

"Tell me, what's going on with you? Don't you understand my intentions? You have to pretend to be stupid. You've been pretending for three months, and it's not enough."

"I... what am I pretending to do? What do you mean? I don't think there is anything wrong with being your counselor. You will point out what I did wrong when the time comes."

Li Jianrong was so angry that she pretended to be.So he left him and walked towards the table. Leng Yuefeng finally relieved the pressure and followed behind him, but as soon as he took a step forward, Li Jianrong turned around abruptly, grabbed his head with one hand, and moved his mouth closer. He bit the cold moon wind's lips, as if he wanted to vent all the anger and lovesickness of the past few months.

Leng Yuefeng was frightened by his sudden action, and Li Jianrong just seized the opportunity, caught his tongue and sucked it wildly, how could Leng Yuefeng allow it, the two played a verbal war in the room.Leng Yuefeng thumped Li Jianrong's back from time to time, but he didn't move at all.

Li Jianrong finally let go of Leng Yuefeng, and licked the silver thread on his chin by the way, before leaving, he said, "You're a quick learner."

Leng Yuefeng was out of breath, and by the time he recovered, Li Jianrong had been sitting on the stool watching him in distress for a long time.

"You bastard, you..."

"You dare to scold the emperor, do you know what crime you have committed?" Then he threw himself on him, picked him up horizontally, and quickly walked to the bed.He really loves Leng Yuefeng like this, he really wants to eat him right now.

"What are you doing? What nerves do you have, oh, it hurts like hell, you have... um..."

Throwing him on the bed and coming to shelter, Li Jianrong demanded it like crazy, Leng Yuefeng was blinded by him, and shouted coldly all over his body.He casually fished out a dagger from under the pillow, and stabbed at Li Jianrong. Li Jianrong was in pain, let him go, and stood by the bed, his arm was scratched, and he looked at the embarrassed Leng Yuefeng on the bed in disbelief.

"You hide the dagger under the pillow, who are you guarding against? Don't you know that the palace can't put these things casually?"

"Please don't say that. If you didn't attack me first, I wouldn't stab you with a dagger. This is called self-defense." Putting away the dagger, jumping out of the bed, and going out after finishing her clothes, Li Jianrong hurried up Pull him forward.

"Stop, if you don't speak clearly today, I won't let you go."

"Your Majesty, if you are free, you can learn from Princess Tingfang and raise cats and walk dogs instead of harassing your advisers here."

"You..." Li Jianrong's face turned green, but he pulled Leng Yuefeng to prevent him from leaving. Just as the two were at loggerheads, Xiaochun reported outside, "Your Majesty, Director Lan is here, and he said he would like to invite you to the meeting hall." , Prime Minister Xu, Taishi Liu and General Mu have been waiting for a long time."

For the first time, Li Jianrong resented that these ministers were too conscientious, so he let go of the cold moon wind and walked in front, not forgetting to say a word to save face, "Let's go soon."
