Chapter 678: The Palace Test (I)

In the early morning of the next day, a team of guards came to the door of Su's house early, waited in line at the door respectfully, and after Su Jin cleaned up, escorted Su Jin to the palace to meet the emperor.

There are more than 200 people on the list of the undergraduate examination, all of whom need to pass this last pass, in the palace examination, the emperor will personally ask the examination questions, and the winner of the public examination will answer on the spot. So fundamentally speaking, the provincial high school examination is not everything, and the palace examination is the ultimate touchstone.

The site of this palace test is set up in the square in front of the Daqing Palace, because of the large number of people, it seems cramped to be located in the Daqing Palace.

At the beginning of the day, the bell rang, and Su Jin slowly entered the hall with the two hundred and thirty-two provincial test winners of the same department under the guidance of the inner attendant, Su Jin was pleased to see that there were Wang Anshi and Wei Songhe in the crowd, as well as Han Jiang who succumbed behind him when he solved the test; Wang Anshi and Wei Songhe also saw Su Jin, because this was not a place to speak, they only greeted each other with their eyes, Su Jin stretched out two fingers and gestured a 'V' in his busy schedule to cheer Wang Anshi and Wei Songhe up.

Zhao Zhen sat on the throne with a smile, looking at the students who rushed in thoughtfully, these are the future pillars of the Great Song Dynasty, these students who look at their faces are immature and timid, after experience, they may become the mainstay of the future imperial court to rely on, who knows?

Except for Su Jin, all the students entered the palace to see the emperor for the first time, and the majestic atmosphere around them was already overwhelmed, and as soon as people were nervous, their bodies were uncoordinated, so that several students were knocked down when they crossed the high threshold of the main hall, and they fell and gnawed on the mud; I was so tired that I dumped a large piece of 'oooh' left and right.

The attendants whispered to the students who fell to the ground, blaming them for not walking well, and everyone quickly got up, and some of them hit their mouths and noses on the smooth marble floor, and they didn't dare to wipe them with blood.

Du Yan stood in the train and frowned, and when he saw someone getting up with his butt facing the emperor's throne, he couldn't help but shout: "Fork those people who can't walk steadily out of the hall, Daqing Palace, a sacred place, how can people who lose their honor be allowed to desecrate and cancel their qualifications for the palace examination." ”

The guards stepped forward and grabbed the few students who were bleeding from their noses and mouths and rushed out, although the ministers felt that they were making a big fuss, but there were rules in the palace, and Du Yan's move was understandable, so they all kept silent.

Su Jin saw that the faces of those students were like earth, knowing that this fork went out, basically all the previous efforts were in vain, and it was estimated that they would either throw themselves into the river or hang themselves to die, seeing that the students showed a sad face, but they couldn't argue, and suddenly the nosy problem flared up again, and he completely forgot that he was only a lifter at present, and raised his hand and said loudly: "Slow, and listen to the next word." ”

Everyone was frightened, which one of these people was so bold that he dared to speak loudly without permission in this hall.

"Who's making a loud noise? Fork out, do you still understand the rules? Du Yan shouted.

Su Jin came out in line, bowed his hand and said: "Du Shumi is angry, and Su Jin is under him." ”

When the officials saw that it was Su Jin, their heads suddenly became big, they should have known that it was him, who else had such courage besides him?

Zhao Zhen was very happy, sure enough, this kid, the most nosy guy, but the timing of today's coming out was obviously not right, in front of many newcomers, Du Yan would not allow him to refute his face, and he would definitely reprimand him.

Zhao Zhen originally wanted to stop it, there are indeed rules in the palace, but there is no need to make a fuss, Zhao Zhen has just been in charge of the meeting, and in order to show his majesty, he has set many rules in the palace; There was once a county order who let out a fart when he was specially recruited, and he was dismissed; But now Zhao Zhen has long cared too much about this, the majesty of the royal family is really needed, but there is no need to overkill, like this time today, Zhao Zhen will never deprive them of their palace examination qualifications for a few students who have fallen.

But at this moment, Su Jinqiang came out of his head, and Zhao Zhen's words of pardon came to his lips but he took it back, he wanted to see what Su Jin could do to make Du Yan take back his life.

Sure enough, Du Yan frowned and said, "It turned out to be you?" Why don't you stay and wait for your Highness to see, and then jump out and do something? Today is the palace examination room, don't forget your identity. ”

Su Jin arched his hand and smiled: "Du Shumi is not angry, I just want to ask for a favor for these people in the same year." ”

Du Yan sneered: "Pleading? I can't walk steadily, and I bleed from my mouth and nose and stained the court, I should have been thrown out, what kind of love are you asking for? ”

Su Jin said: "Du Shumi, it's not easy, why not be accommodating once, they didn't do it on purpose, ten years of hard study, after several scientific examinations to get to this point, your sentence is enough to kill them; Besides, since they can pass the test and come to the palace test, they must be people who have studied hard and studied hard, and they are all people who will be used by the court in the future, so why bother? ”

Before Du Yan could speak, Xia Zhu muttered in a low voice behind him: "Su Jin can be a good person, isn't this saying that Du Shumi is unapproachable and unreasonable?" ”

Du Yan originally listened to what Su Jin said and planned to soften, but when Xia Zhu was so excited, his heart suddenly became angry, and he shouted: "Su Jin, Hugh is talking nonsense, you are also a court official, hurry up and list it, and I won't hold you accountable; The court has the law of the court, how can the ritual law be abolished? Come back to entanglement, and fork it out with you. ”

Su Jin's heart was on fire, talking to you well, you have to find a scolding, I didn't plan to bird him, if it wasn't for the front of all the students, Su Jin wouldn't even have the idea of pleading with Du Yan; Now it's good, give him color and he starts a dyeing shop.

"Du Shumi, it's wrong for you to say that, you are also from the imperial examination, and you must know the suffering, so why bother with each other?"

"What's the hurry?" Du Yan was angry, which was tantamount to scolding himself with his nose, and in front of so many people.

"If you say that you are in a hurry to fry each other, then you are in a hurry to fry each other." Du Yan gritted his teeth and shouted.

Yan Shu stomped his feet angrily, this Su Jin, how can he cause trouble everywhere, he is forced to come out for no reason, there are rules in the hall, and those who are rude and unfounded are about to be blasted out of the hall, and they are already lucky if they don't hit the board, this kid doesn't understand anything, so he likes to be a big-headed ghost.

Angry, at this time, you still have to hurry out to speak, otherwise if Du Yan forks Su Jin out, won't everything be in vain.

"This ...... Du Shumi, Su Jin doesn't know much about the rules of the palace, how about the old man begging for a favor, how about giving face? Yan Shu turned to Su Jin and shouted, "Su Huiyuan, don't you admit your mistake to Du Shumi?" You are not allowed to mess around during the palace test. ”

Su Jin looked up at Zhao Zhen sitting on the throne, and saw Zhao Zhen sitting on it with his cheeks on his face expressionless, like a puppet, and seeing that there was a mess below, he could actually calm down, and he felt a burst of resentment in his heart, and arched his hand: "Lord Sansi, what's wrong with me?" After ten years of hard work, others lost their efforts because they fell on the main hall, so are the adults here indifferent? ”

Ouyang Xiu whispered behind Su Jin: "Don't say it, brother, this is the rule, how can there be a misconduct in front of the emperor?" It's rude to say it's small, it's rude to say it's big, not to mention that these are all new moves, if it's not proper etiquette at this time, it will be worth it in the future? ”

Su Jin turned a deaf ear and continued: "The law is nothing more than human affection, the court law is to punish those who commit adultery, and such a trivial matter as falling is not intentional, how can it be punished as a traitor?" I just don't understand how there are such rules, and it's no wonder that I'm a big country in the Song Dynasty, and I'm oppressed by the western thief Liaogou; Liao envoy Xiao Temo said right, my Great Song Dynasty just paid too much attention to these details, and was suspected of grasping the big and letting go of the small, so although it was sitting on a rich territory, it could not suppress the country of tigers and wolves, but allowed it to run rampant, which is really a pity. ”

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

"Presumptuous!"

"Bold!"

“……”

Lu Yijian, Du Yan, Xia Zhu and even Ouyang Xiu, Yan Shu and others all angrily reprimanded Su Jin, everyone was so frightened that they were silent, Su Jin was saying that the emperor did not have the ability to govern the country well, this is a great crime of rebellion.

Yan Shu's heart beat violently, this kid is not worrying, it seems that he is going to poke a big basket today.

"Your Majesty, Su Jin made a big rebellious remark, and the ministers asked to remove Su Jin from his official position, remove his fame and go to prison, this person has bad intentions, and he will be a trouble for the court in the future." Du Yan stepped forward and said.

"The old minister seconded the proposal, this person is a fanatic, how can he be allowed to stand on the court." Lu Yijian got up from his chair and arched his hand.

"Chen Xia Zhu also seconded the proposal, Su Jin must be severely punished to set an example!" Xia Zhu echoed coldly.

"The ministers seconded the motion...... The ministers seconded the proposal ......" The ministers seconded the voice, and the students were dumbfounded, but they didn't expect that this Su Huiyuan was originally admired by tens of thousands of people, and in an instant, he became the object of everyone's trampling because he said a few words; The students are considered to have taken the first class in officialdom, and being cautious in words and deeds is the king.

Zhao Zhen was also really annoyed in his heart, this Su Jin was simply too faceless, and he actually openly accused the Chaogang here, and it was not a big deal for a few people to be deposed, he used the topic to play to the Chaogang, and the implication was that he was not the emperor well, and the Great Song Dynasty was bullied by others, and this face was a little unbearable.

In the face of the excited ministers, Zhao Zhen wanted to say, 'Quasi-play!' But he couldn't say anything, and Su Jin's words actually set off monstrous waves in his heart.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is the Taizu Dynasty, the Taizong Dynasty or the Zhenzong Dynasty have commendable points, and more than 20 years have passed since he ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and it seems that he is still eating the old book of his ancestors.

All kinds of shortcomings inside and outside the court have been constantly raised, but he has never had a way to deal with them, obviously the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is stronger than that of the Western Thieves and the Liao State, but he is deceived by others everywhere; Especially in recent years, the Western Thieves openly established the country, and committed crimes in the Northwest, defeating the Northwest Army in several battles in a row; The Liao people are stupid, and they want to make a profit, and the last Liao envoy came to the court, if it weren't for Su Jin's skillful hand, that matter alone would be very tricky, and perhaps the best result would be to take out a large amount of silver money and cloth every year to buy peace.

Money is nothing, as long as the wind and rain are smooth for a few years, Da Song will immediately be full, the key is that this sense of humiliation lingers, which makes his self-esteem suffer a big blow.

So when Su Jin said these words, Zhao Zhen's first reaction was anger, and his second reaction was a faint sense of bosom friend, and at this moment, he hesitated in the face of the request of the ministers.
