Xianglian and Ye Chunqiu were speechless to Shou Ninghou, but Deng Jian, who was lying on the boat, gritted his teeth and said: "Pretending to be a ghost, hum, Shou Ninghou, I will impeach you for your evil words to confuse the public, hum, the gentleman respects ghosts and gods and stays away; Pity the front seat in the middle of the night, don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods......"

Zhang Heling squinted at Deng Jian, and said intriguingly: "Who are you?" Is it called Deng Jian? Wait and see. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Deng Jian immediately shouted: "I'm afraid you won't make it? I am ......"

Ye Chunqiu had already covered his mouth, this guy was really uninteresting.

The light boat went down the river, and sure enough, it arrived at the canal, and continued north, and the city of Beijing was already in front of it.

Ye Chunqiu gathered everyone together and said: "Today is the palace exam, I am anxious to give it a try, if I am not allowed to take the exam, it will be fine, but if there is still a chance, the students will definitely fight for it; So after entering Beijing, everyone is going to part ways, Shou Ninghou, Lord Deng is injured, I am afraid that I will have to take care of you. Xianglian ......" He looked at Xianglian and said with deep meaning: "When you arrive in Beijing, you will surrender yourself and go to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, do you know?" ”

This sentence does have a deep meaning, he let Xianglian go by herself, it is to give her a chance to choose, if she chooses to escape, from now on wandering the rivers and lakes, Ye Chunqiu will not ask, now that the crisis is over, compassion will inevitably come to her heart again.

Xiang Lian nodded and looked at him deeply, as if she wanted to keep him in her heart forever.

At this time, I heard Deng Jian shouting: "No, no, I don't want Shou Ninghou to take care of ......"

"Shut up." Shou Ninghou covered his mouth viciously and said viciously: "If you dare to be verbose, you will break your hand." ”

Ye Chunqiu sighed, and soon saw that Beijing City was already in sight, and the outline of the huge city appeared in his eyes.

At this time, Ye Chunqiu's heart was agitated, it was not easy, he finally arrived at the end of his imperial examination journey, and here, he was about to start a new life, his eyes were gloomy, and a cloud of mist faintly rose.

I don't know what happened to Daddy? Have you already taken the temple exam...... I guess I'm too late, hey...... I hope that the palace can be gracious and give yourself a chance.

………………………………

The palace examination was held as scheduled, and the candidates entered the palace at dawn, and after going through the roll call, scattering papers, praising and saluting, they had to start doing the questions.

Naturally, although it is called the palace test, there are many sayings in the market that the emperor Lao Tzu points the champion, but in essence, this is not the case.

Although it is the Son of Heaven who personally chooses the exam questions, and sometimes, the Son of Heaven will personally arrive at the Baohe Hall to supervise the candidates, but the real champions, lists, and flowers still need to be discussed with the Son of Heaven by the cabinet scholars.

Anything related to the ceremony of picking talents, will never be the Son of Heaven to judge, the first year of Zhengde's palace test, Zhu Houzhao did not participate in it at all, in the end, it was just the cabinet ministers who informed the results, and Zhu Houzhao carried out Zhu Criticism.

But now, the Son of Heaven is interested in this palace test, and since the little emperor likes it, the ministers naturally can't stop it.

This year's palace exam is different from previous years, although Liu Jian and others, as examiners, arrived at the Baohe Palace, their minds are not here, the matter of the White Lotus Sect in Beitongzhou has made them anxious, and now this kung fu, who still has the leisure to take care of this.

Of course...... Talent ceremony, naturally you still have to care, if you don't care, you can't do it, this is a high-profile thing, and everyone in the world is watching it.

What's more, the person who cares about this matter the most today is Jiao Fang.

Because Jiao Fang's son also participated in this palace examination, his son Jiao Huangzhong participated in the spring of the North List this year, at that time, Jiao Fang first avoided suspicion, and said that he was a bachelor in the cabinet, and the dog participated in the spring and should not take the exam, of course...... It's just polite, to express your modesty and prudence.

As for the imperial court, naturally he is well aware of this truth, and still allows Jiao Huangzhong to participate in the Spring Festival, indicating that the Son of Heaven is very relieved of Jiao Fang's ethics and will never engage in favoritism.

As a result, Jiao Huangzhong was among the best in the North List Examination and quickly stood out, and the palace examination is the time to really determine the ranking, Jiao Fang is particularly concerned about the palace examination, hoping that Jiao Huangzhong can be among the best, if he can be the top student in high school, after 20 years, the Jiao family is afraid that there will be another bachelor.

He twisted his beard at the moment and kept silent, the candidates are still being named, so in the Baohe Palace, only Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Jiao Fang, and Zhang Cai, the secretary of the ministry, are here early.

Liu Jian was full of worries, today is also a day of compromise with the bandits, according to the prior agreement, the bandits will hijack the Hou Shouning Hou under the escort of the official army to Tianjin Wei, and there is also a sea boat prepared early, the ship has been placed on the ship, as well as the collected boys and girls, just wait for the bandits to board the ship and release the people.

But the question is, will the bandits after Yang Fan release them? This matter is a little uncertain, if they go back on their word, this court will really be planted.

Liu Jian sighed in his heart, but he was helpless, this condition was simply harsh, but if he didn't agree, if he didn't agree, he would send another severed finger of Shou Ninghou, and if Empress Dowager Zhang was angry, it would not be a joke.

Eventually...... The result is not very important anymore, what matters is the attitude, if you don't show your heart, then it may be a disaster.

Liu Jian stroked his beard and asked Xie Qian, who was on the side: "At this time, the people who should be riding in the camp have already prepared, will there be anything wrong with Tianjin Wei?" ”

Xie Qian held back his anger, but he could only smile helplessly: "It's appropriate, the Xiaoqi Battalion received a secret order the day before yesterday, and the Gongwei Sect and bandits left, and the number they reported was one hundred and twelve people, and these people were sent to Tianjin Wei, and the sea ships were ready, and they would go to sea at noon." Ay...... Liu Gong, what kind of foolish thing is this, the dignified court, actually being played by hundreds of bandits, if this matter spreads, Liu Gong and I, as well as Binzhi, I will be faceless, and I don't know how to scold Qianqiu Shibi. ”

Liu Jian pursed his lips noncommittally, although he said so, what can he do?

But at this time, a voice came: "The Son of Heaven has arrived." ”

Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and they were busy.

Zhu Houzhao entered the hall upset, sitting on the royal chair, his face calm, looking very unhappy.

The matter of the bandits has already made him very uneasy, and Renshou Palace called him to scold him every now and then, and the queen mother was really red-eyed this time, and even her son didn't want it.
