Chapter 1006: The Rules of the Face Sage
Three days later, the palace test was held as scheduled, Qiu Yuling and Lin Luoyao naturally couldn't help anything, the two of them could only wait at home, but the hall test was much faster.
It only takes a few hours to finish.
And those who can participate in the palace examination are also human dragons and phoenixes.
These people include white-haired old men who are more than half a hundred years old, and there are also high-spirited young people.
Some of them are already Jinshiji, and some even have official vacancies to fill later.
It's just for the sake of his own ideals that he came to participate in the imperial examination again.
In front of the palace 'gate', there was a long queue, although there were not many people who could be shortlisted for the palace examination, but there were more than 100 people.
Of course, they can't go through the main 'gate' of the palace, but out of respect for the scholars, they go through the three 'gates' of the palace.
Enter from the noon 'gate', and then go to the square of the Taihe Hall to participate in the temple test.
The inspection of entering the imperial palace is too strict, and the inspection of participating in the imperial examination is to prevent cheating. In addition to preventing cheating, it is also necessary to check whether there are any dangerous things to be brought into the palace, such as hidden weapons, and if you take the palace exam, the emperor will come to the scene to take the exam.
If it 'blends' with the Assassins, then the Emperor is very dangerous.
In addition to searching his body, Jinyiwei also had to 'touch' his bones.
The "touching" bone of this is not the "touching" bone of fortune-telling, but checking whether you can do martial arts.
Because of the bones and veins of the martial artists. Even the strength of the body is not the same as that of ordinary people.
For those who practice martial arts, the imperial court should be strictly guarded.
For example, when Murong Zheng participated in the imperial examination, because he 'touched' him martial arts, when he participated in the palace examination, a total of four brocade guards surrounded him to watch over him.
Finally, when it was Lou Yun's turn to check, the 'attendant' guard glanced at Lou Yun and frowned, but it was routine to check.
They found that Lou Yun was a good hand with a sword, so after the inspection, Lou Yun's treatment was the same as before Murong Zheng, and the four brocade guards took care of him.
And his position is still at the end, which is not discrimination, but because it is to prevent him from getting too close to the emperor.
If he is a top master, it will be difficult for the brocade guards to react.
So let him stay away from the emperor, so as to leave time for the people around the emperor to deal with it.
After all, Jing Ke, the world's number one assassin, had to be within ten steps to cast a lore flying sword.
Walking on the imperial road of the palace, Lou Yun's two 'legs' began to tremble.
This is not a fear, but an 'agitation'.
What kind of place is this? It's the Imperial Palace! The heart of the world, the Imperial City!
Although Lou Yun has also been to the palace of King Yong, the buildings and imperial city there are completely untouchable.
Looking at the carved palace, Lou Yun thought to himself: "No wonder there are so many people in the world who are quite emperors, the houses here are really beautiful." ”
Although Lou Yun had tried his best to restrain himself, he still couldn't suppress his 'excited' mood.
There are many people who are similar to him.
They are all just ordinary people, and not everyone can enter this imperial city.
Except for the military officials in the capital who need to face the saint every day, the others are considered relatives of the emperor, and they cannot enter the palace at will without the emperor's summons.
Now that they can enter the palace, this is simply a blessing that they have cultivated for several lifetimes.
Under the escort of the Imperial Forest Army, they came to the examination room of the palace examination, Taihedian Square.
Today's sun is very good, and the sunlight shines on the glazed tiles of the eaves of the Taihe Palace, just like the 'waves' and 'waves' of the sea.
Many of the people present stood there, because after the court meeting, the emperor would come in person, and then the palace examination would officially begin.
Before coming here, they first went to the Ministry of Rites.
Before entering the palace, go to the Ministry of Rites to perform a ceremony, which has been a rule since ancient times.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites will 'hand' over to these people what to do when they see the emperor, this is the palace, and there can be no mistakes, if the etiquette goes wrong, it is a great crime of disrespect, and it is to be killed.
In the past, there was a move in the Hongwu period, because when he visited the emperor, he knelt three times and kowtowed a little, and he was dismissed for the crime of great disrespect and never hired.
That person's luck is not bad, if it was someone else, he would have been pushed out of the noon 'door' and beheaded.
And the most important thing is to never look directly at the emperor.
This is the most important thing, it doesn't matter if you go the wrong way, it doesn't matter if you don't deduct your head, whether you are punished or not is just a matter of looking at the emperor's mood.
If the emperor is in a good mood, then it's fine.
But the crime of looking directly at the emperor is much more serious.
That is called looking up at the king, intentionally assassinating the king and killing the driver, without the emperor opening his mouth, the left and right Jinyi guards have the right to be directly executed.
For this, the adults of the Ministry of Rites are thousands of instructions.
Lou Yun naturally kept it in mind.
Another thing that was instructed was to walk, and the palace also had rules, that is, the temple had to walk a few steps.
There are strict rules for how many steps to take.
For example, the civilian golden hall can only walk three steps, while the official is seven steps, and then with the different grades, the number of steps that can be walked in the hall is also different.
If the emperor acquiesces in the number of steps, the official who can be closest to the emperor in the general hall was the prime minister before, and now it is the six books.
If you take the wrong step, it is a great crime to kill your head.
It's not okay to walk less, and it's even worse to walk more.
If the hall walks less, it is a great disrespect to look down on the emperor.
But if you go too much, then this is much more serious, this belongs to the action before no reason, intentionally assassinating the king and killing the driver, this does not need the emperor to speak, and directly pushes it out to behead.
Therefore, these two things, the adults of the Ministry of Rites are thousands of instructions, and they naturally listen very carefully, because if one of these details is wrong, it is a big crime to kill the head.
Lou Yun naturally kept it firmly in mind, he knew the truth that a companion is like a tiger, if he was just an ordinary person, he would not be afraid, he would die if he died. But now it's different, he has a family and even a wife.
If they die, what will they do? Who will take care of them in the future?
In response to this, many people now have beads of sweat on their foreheads, and now they are no longer excited, but afraid.
Sometimes the top student is not only based on the collection, but also on the psychological quality.
Some candidates are not strong in psychological quality, and they are stupid by these rules, and they can't do a single question in the test paper.
I only thought about these things, and in the end, I fell into the name of Sun Shan.
Although Lou Yun's heart was a little weak because of the fact that he was cheated before, he was not afraid of anything.
A man standing between heaven and earth should be fearless, this is what Lin Luoyao said to him.
And before Lou Yun left home, Lin Luoyao also told Lou Yun to be 'refined' and smart.
And also made a gesture to "threaten" that if Lou Yun died, then she would take Nangong Li to remarry and marry Qiu Yuling to Zhu Yunchang. In the end, no one collected his body and grave.
