The country is not as pretty as the beauty

Chapter 218 The Scenery of the Imperial City

No matter whether there is a major event or not, the palace is always busy before dawn, and it seems that only one hour in the early morning is quiet.

The eunuch carrying the number one scholar's clothes and hat entered the number one scholar's building. Undoubtedly, this year's number one scholar came out here again. The shopkeeper was of course delighted from ear to ear, and there must be a lot of fuss in the building today.

"Dong dong dong!" There was a knock on the door, and Su Dao got up to open the door, and he was greeted by an old and thin smiling face.

Behind the smiling face was surprise, and the eunuchs behind them stretched their necks, and it turned out to be another young man.

Then there was doubt, Su Dao gave people the first impression of a white-faced scholar, clean and simple, with a bookish look, except for the few strands of white hair on his head.

Su Dao didn't look at his young age, so why did he have so many gray hairs? He has seen those who studied hard in the imperial examination, and there are people with gray hair, but he has never seen such and such.

Of course, they only dare to guess in their hearts, and dare not ask more questions. As servants, they must abide by their duties as servants.

"Congratulations, my lord, He Xi lord won the first place!"

Su Dao smiled, and soon the eunuchs came in with their clothes, and some went to other rooms.

This year's top three are all in the champion building.

The eunuchs wanted to change clothes for Su Dao, but Su Dao refused.

"Xiaosheng has been used to being alone since he was a child, and he doesn't like to be close to strangers. Please forgive me, father-in-law!"

The leading eunuch wasn't surprised either, after all, they had seen many big scenes, "It's their blessing to serve your lord, since your lord said so, I'll go out and wait."

The eunuch smiled and led them out, not forgetting to close the door when they went out.

Su Dao breathed a sigh of relief, as expected, the people raised in the palace were extraordinary.

The red-robed golden python, the black Usha... She had seen it in Jiangnan when she was a child. There are many literati and talents in Jiangnan.

At that time, she would not have thought that she would have this day, she had thought of this day a few years ago.

But the purpose is completely different from today.

Take off the blue clothes and put on bright red ones.The jade crown was replaced by Usha, and the gray hair was covered by Usha.

The white hair on the temples could not be concealed, looking at himself in front of the bronze mirror, at some point, the corners of Su Dao's eyes got wet.

Clear tears slid down the corners of the eyes to the chin and dripped onto the red robe.

In the winter two years ago, she wore this bright red color, which was very conspicuous on the white snow.

After wiping away the tears, but the sadness in the eyes did not diminish, he opened the door and followed the crowd to leave, the sound of congratulations and envious eyes along the way.

Su Dao didn't care at all.

The No. 1 and No. [-] players couldn't wait for a long time, and they were waiting for the No.[-] outside the door early.

Su Dao went out and made a bow, apparently Su Dao was the youngest among the three.

After getting on the horse, there was the sound of gongs and drums all the way, and the scenery off the horse turned out to be so clear.

You can see young ladies of all ages on both sides of the road, and most of the ladies in the rooms facing the street in teahouses and restaurants are looking.

Once upon a time, Su Dao only played the role of the upstairs guest.

Fame and fame, glory and wealth are in front of her, but she is alone.

Su Dao didn't keep that joy like the other two.

"What's wrong with our No. [-] Scholar today? He's so unhappy after winning such a first-class happy event."

Even if they passed the imperial examination, their official career might not be smooth sailing, so if these few people can get to know each other, it would be good to help each other in the future, the two of them thought so.

The two were still thinking about how to curry favor with this champion, and how to communicate with each other along the way. The champions have always been favored by the prime minister, and if they have the heart, they will join the prime minister's school.

Now the Bai family of the prime ministers of the three dynasties is no longer there, and the new prime minister surnamed Lou is from the Zheng family. People in the world can clearly see that this is his Zheng family's world.

"Just reminded me of something nostalgic, no problem!"

"But it has something to do with your gray hair?"

Su Dao just nodded silently.

"Looking at your age, you are younger than the two of us, why?"

"It's better for you to talk less, you shouldn't ask, don't talk too much."

Su Dao was the youngest in age, and the evening of the questioning was the oldest, and the person who interrupted the conversation was not much different from Su Dao.

"Don't pay attention to him, he just talks too much."

Su Dao nodded.

"Unknown name yet!"

"Su Dao, from Luancheng, Zhao County."

"The Su family is a common surname!" The person who asked the question smiled sideways. "Look at the age?"

Su has always been a great surname in Dasu, whether it is the great general who founded the country or the Su family who is now martial arts.

Looking at the white hair on his temples, he felt that he was at least in his twenties!

"This year just won the championship!"

The man smiled, because Su Dao was too young, "My surname is Di, my name is Huaiying, and I am from Taiyuan. I am a little older than you!"

When he was more than ten years older than him, the other second place was already in his prime. Neither of the two elders had ever passed the exam for this 20-year-old junior.

"Brother Di!" Su Dao clasped his fists very politely, and Di Huaiying also returned.

The three top three people rode through the streets on horseback, followed by the imperial guards, and beat gongs and drums beside them.

Among the three of them, although Tanhua is a bit older, she still has the spirit of a scholar.

The year when you stand close to your eyes is the year when a formal man matures, and most women admire him.

Although the number one scholar is handsome, but a little thin, and the white hair on the temples is particularly conspicuous, those who don't know think that although the number one scholar is talented, he is afraid that he is weak and sick.

Therefore, the second place is the most popular.

This year the rules have been changed, and the emperor only sees the top three, probably because Zhengzhou is going to choose a son-in-law.

Others arrange official positions based on talent and learning. Now that there are too many vacancies for civil servants, it is natural that they will not be thrown into the Imperial Academy.

When going from the third bridge to the end gate, the champion can go through the middle gate once.

When the horses arrived at Duanmen, officials who were not members of the royal family were about to dismount, Su Dao looked up at the imperial city.

This was the first time she entered the imperial city of Luoyang.

The door in the middle is not allowed for non-emperors and empresses, and the princess and crown prince can go through it once on the day of canonization.

This arch is the largest and most magnificent among the three. Su Dao raised his head and looked at the sky.

The Son of Heaven is the sky, and for common people, seeing the Son of Heaven is more difficult than seeing the sky.

Dressed in bright red, the general who guards the gate recognized him as the champion of the new division.

Su Dao's horse was led by the eunuch, and the general guarding the gate approached and fisted.

Although Su Dao has no official position, but with his fame and fame, he can climb to the top of this sixth-rank general at any time.

"Today's Da Su is really talented, congratulations!"

Whether what he said is true or not, Su Dao is only politely paying back. If she wants to survive in this officialdom, she knows what she should do.

The imperial city was huge, and the three people who got off their horses walked all the way from Duanmen to the long corridor with high walls. The ground was still a bit slippery, it just rained last night.

Occasionally, a few palace people passed by in the corridor, some of them were more disciplined, and walked away with their heads lowered and hands clasped, and some of them glanced at Su Dao from time to time out of curiosity and stood there.

His red body is the most eye-catching, and it is very strict. If you are not an emperor, you can't wear red, and the first-rank official uniform is not red.

After passing through several small halls, we arrived at a very empty hall.

This is the martial field in front of the hall, and the Taiyuan Hall is located on the jade ladder far away.

She looked down on Chang'an's imperial city from the mountains of Chang'an, and it was huge.

Obviously this one in Luoyang is not small either.

The jade ladder is made of real jade, and the railings are mahogany, which is the same color as the pillars in the hall, Dasu Xihong, and red paint is often used for buildings.

Every few steps there is a forbidden army wrapped in silver armor, probably straight, Su Dao has seen the forbidden army walking outside the palace, and there are two rows of guards, but the imperial city is too serious.

The eunuch in front of the Taiyuan Hall saw the arrival of the three of them and went inside to report.

There are only a few people in the Taiyuan Hall of Nuoda, only Zhengzhou Shangguanyi and a few examiners and the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

Li Qiao stood next to Zheng Jing with a sullen face. Li Qiao was the person Zheng Jing was trying to protect, otherwise he would definitely not know where he was assigned now.

He was going to expel Su Dao that day, but it happened that Zheng Jing came over, and Zheng Jing was the chief examiner, and the requirements were too harsh, so that he didn't find anyone available, but he found Su Dao's talent in Li Qiao's hands, and he was very happy I was recommended to my father.

"Xuan Xin Ke No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], I'll see you!"

The door of Taiyuan Hall was very large and heavy, so it was pushed open by four eunuchs.

The eunuch who escorted them only took them outside the hall, nodded and then retreated.

The three of them are not ordinary people, they are all from aristocratic families, and they have also seen big scenes.

The interior of the Taiyuan Hall was also a little dark during the day, with the candlelight flickering, Su Dao looked around.

The former Su family was rich in Jiangnan, but it was only the tip of the iceberg in this imperial city.

"kneel!"

The three saluted and dared not speak!

Tian Yucheng let it go, today he is just sitting here and pretending to be.

Zheng Zhou stared at Su Dao the whole time, making Su Dao feel a little uncomfortable, so he had to lower his head.

"rise!"

"Raise your head!" Zheng Zhou approached, holding his saber.

Su Dao raised his head, Zhengzhou stroked the thick beard, and looked at Su Dao carefully, he didn't look like a man who can stand up to the sky, but he can still temper it, and Zhengzhou remembered the two locks of white hair .

"Pretty handsome!"

"Are you Su Dao?" Zheng Jing happily walked from behind and said to Su Dao.

"Yes."

"The calligraphy is good, and the answers to the questions are also wonderful. The question was written by eighteen bachelors. I added two strokes. It's amazing!"

Su Dao clasped his hands, "It's just a coincidence, it's just luck, I dare not take it."

Zheng Zhou raised his hand, signaling Zheng Jing to back down.

"You are both talented and young, and your qualifications are not shallow. I should use you more."

"Thank you, General!" This person is Zhengzhou, who went to the temple with a knife, who else could he be.

"Do you know the luthier?"

Su Dao nodded, "Your Majesty's adoptive sister, Princess Xincheng, is exceptionally talented and beautiful, and I should know that."

"Hua'er is about the same age as you, in terms of talent, he is not inferior to you, and in terms of appearance, my Zheng family only wants people who are interesting, do you understand?"

Su Dao was stunned, so quickly, Zhengzhou made it clear, in front of the emperor.

Su Dao looked at the people next to him. The older one should be Shangguanyi, followed by Li Qiao, and who was the person next to him who seemed to be about the same age as Di Huaiying.

Su Dao thought about it, too many people were kicked out of the Dasu Dynasty, except for some veterans with a solid foundation, there were only a few smooth people left.

Su Dao probably knew who this person was, the current prime minister, the person he would visit in the future - Lou Shide.

In the corner of Shangyang Palace, the news of the release of the list spread.

"I'm not surprised she won the first prize, but this Di Huaiying!"

Tian Wuhen had never heard of this person, nor did the Zheng family have this person.

"Send someone to investigate this person!"
