Chapter 564: The palace hides filth, and the palace gathers the ceremony
The palace is the residence of the Son of Heaven, the world's wealth and power in one, the candidates have come all the way, the palace is continuous, pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and paintings, and there are more gardens and landscapes, attracting people to linger.
After passing through the square in front of the palace, coming to several halls, the magnificent scene, even more breathtaking, the pillar is huge, several people are embraced, let people feel their own insignificance.
Suddenly, some people sighed: In the end, it is a forbidden place in the palace, which is completely different from ordinary people's homes. ”
Qiu Yan looked at the scene along the way, but his focus was on other aspects, he noticed that there were people's wishes hidden everywhere in the palace, harmful and bad, respected and resentful, and in the depths of the palace, there was a dark atmosphere coming out, and there was a state of filth.
Compared with Qiu Yan, the others were much more cautious, most of them bowed their heads and kept silent, and moved forward slowly.
In fact, after they passed through the palace gate and entered the palace, their every move was included in the assessment, and there were records of the imperial history, which was actually to examine their gains and losses in "etiquette".
However, the etiquette is relative, the candidates must abide by it, and the royal court cannot be bad, and the sound of etiquette and music will soon come from the front to welcome all beings.
The imperial examination is an opportunity for scholars to leap through the door, but it is also the imperial court to summon talented people to come over and help govern the country, of course, to show enough respect.
Walking and walking, the group came to the destination of this trip, Jiying Palace.
This palace occupies a large area, and one of its main functions is to use it for the palace test.
When Pang Qianru entertained the students in the Pang family's courtyard, she also set up many tables, but when there were many people, the lobby could not fit at all, so she could only place them in the courtyard.
But in terms of the size of this Ying Palace, it is larger than two or three Panfu courtyards. Not only have more than 300 tables been placed, but there are also futons behind the tables, and there is a lot of space between the tables.
Walking into the hall, Qiu Yan squinted his eyes suddenly, and the will of Xingjing, which was connected to consciousness, came with a vague picture, and his mind turned and he understood some deep meanings.
During the temple examination, it was necessary to imitate the way the sages gave lectures in ancient times, when the stool had not yet been invented, and they all sat on the ground. It's not humiliation. It is not that it is better to sit on knees than to sit on a chair, but to look back at the past and show respect for the country, culture, and history.
The reason why people gather is that they agree with each other. It is this respect that counts. Otherwise, even if the blood is the same. It is also a foreign race, and it is more sad than being taken away.
"Grasp one heart, firm one. Then the sea is inclusive and inclusive, so that it can be inherited for thousands of years and stand tall. ”
Qiu Yan came to the hall and saw the table and futon, and the feeling from Xingjing's will made him realize the mystery and know the truth behind the form.
"Walking, sitting, and lying are all knowledge, but only in the place closest to the center of humanity and the root of the dragon vein, can you feel the true meaning so clearly, this opportunity to take the palace test, even if it is taken down and the flesh and blood fall, you can also gain something. ”
Thinking like this, Qiu Yan slowly let go, put aside the idea of future humanitarian exploration, and wholeheartedly comprehended the humanitarian mysteries in the palace.
Compared with him, the other candidates were obviously not so open, one by one they lowered their heads, looked at their noses and noses, and did not dare to be distracted at all.
The mood is reflected on the face, bringing out different expressions, and then developing different temperaments.
"That person is Qiu Yan?"
On the side of a beam, several examiners gathered together and watched the scene in the hall, they were all examiners in charge of the current examination, including Luo Zhongjie and Hu Yong.
Looking at the many candidates who walked into the palace, the eyes of several examiners wandered, and finally stopped at Qiu Yan.
The low table placed in the palace, with the name and place of origin written, is arranged according to the ranking of the examination list, and when the candidates enter the hall, they will be led by the chamberlain to their own table, even if they have not seen Qiu Yanqi, they can also recognize it.
At this glance, several people immediately noticed the difference between Qiu Yan and others.
"This Qiu Yan is indeed extraordinary, and it is right, how can the person who dyes the examination paper have no concentration at all, seeing that he is not the slightest nervous, but shows a contemplative look, I don't know what he is thinking. I inquired in the past two days, and I heard that when Qiu Yan was in the Eastern Capital, there were many deeds, and they have been passed on one after another these days. ”
"Yes, I think back then, when I tried in the palace, I was first calmed by the palace scene, and then I walked into the main hall, and found that it was so quiet that I could hear the needles falling, and I became nervous again, and when I started to make a roll, I recovered a little, not as calm as him. ”
Among the other candidates, there were a few people who looked good. ”
......
The examiner discussed, but Luo Zhongjie and Hu Yong did not join, and both of them were thinking about other things.
Qiu Yanwen dyed the exam papers, the Son of Heaven already knew the way, and on the day of the release, he conveyed the message, which shows that he attaches great importance to it, but it has calmed down again in the past two days, which seems a little strange.
The two of them wanted to investigate, but the people in the palace were silent about it, and even the person in charge of going out to buy was unwilling to reveal anything, which made the situation seem confusing.
Coupled with Wen Zhizhen's fraud, as well as the open and secret battles that are open or dark, Tian Youqing has thought about it behind closed doors at home, and everything is extremely weird, so that Luo Zhongjie and Hu Yong can taste an unusual taste.
Being watched, the candidates also had a feeling, and they reacted for a while.
In this way, all kinds of thoughts slowly stretched.
Syllable!
Suddenly, there was a loud whip sound outside the palace, and then Wang Fu walked out of the palace in official uniform.
Seeing him coming, both the examiner and the examinee all restrained their expressions, and then moved separately to see into the depths of the palace.
After a while, I saw that Wang Fu was in front of the main examiner, and in the back of the same exam, more than 300 candidates, who were also in the top ranks, were in the forefront, tidying up their clothes and waiting quietly.
On the way here, the courteous officials repeatedly explained the palace examination process, and everyone knew that the emperor was coming.
Soon, in the depths of the palace, footsteps sounded, Li Kun walked out, sat on the throne, and a few more people came over, standing in front of His Majesty, all wearing official uniforms, with extraordinary momentum, and at first glance they were not ordinary people.
In the distance, Qiu Yan saw an acquaintance inside, this person was thin, but in good spirits, with a large skeleton, propping up his clothes, it was Ma Yang Ma Lao Xiangguo.
As soon as he saw Ma Yang, Qiu Yan also knew the identity of several other people, and knew that Lu Dao was the other rulers.
The person who can recognize Zaizhi is not only Qiu Yan, among the many candidates, many of them are people with thick backgrounds, books are expensive, it is not easy to read, there are many variables in this imperial examination, and there are new laws mixed into it, and there are two parties compromise, after all, it is unusual, less than half of the candidates from ordinary families are on the list.
These people recognized Zai Zhi and realized that the emperor attached great importance to the palace examination, so they actually asked the central minister to put down the state affairs and come to watch the examination!
As a result, many people's spirits came up, and they were eager to try, wanting to show their knowledge and leave a good impression on the emperor and the emperor.
However, there are also those who know some inside information, and they see a little clue, according to the previous rules and the degree of favor of the emperor, it should be Wang Fu who accompanied the Son of Heaven to come, but this is not the case now, and the implicit truth is quite intriguing.
The examiner, who has a sensitive sense of smell, has already begun to calculate, and even among the candidates, there are people who are thinking.
In front of His Majesty, several Zaizhi were also observing the reactions of many candidates.
"Shenzhi, it is really different from before, and it is no longer Wuxia Ameng. Looking at Qiu Yan, Ma Yang nodded slowly, not hostile to Qiu Yan's strategy.
"However, this time Tian Youqing is desperate, I don't know if I can deal with it, if the official family determines that he is related to the Daomen, it is basically impossible for this palace to test the top three, it's a pity......"
Several other rulers have different expressions, how much they will pay a little attention to Qiu Yan, they have a political hall, grasp the government and politics, are well-informed, they have heard some rumors, and they all know about Qiu Yan's affairs.
Xu Jin looked at Qiu Yan and thought to himself: "This person is Qiu Yan, but he is also a talent, not as Ran'er said, but I don't know if he really has supernatural powers, but after all, I don't know if the results of the most difficult results can be unexpected." ”
Zhang Lian looked disgusted: "This Qiu Yan really eats inside and out, I kindly promoted him, but I didn't expect him to also get the new law, if it weren't for Tian Youqing's self-chaos, this imperial examination would have made the New Party win a big victory." ”
Not only Zaizhi, but Li Kun, who was sitting on the royal couch, also focused his eyes on Qiu Yan, feeling the calm aura on the other party, and became more and more contradictory.
At Li Kun's request, some of the information about Qiu Yan has been summarized, and although Qiu Yan did not deliberately publicize his supernatural powers in the past, he did not deliberately conceal it, because there are many signs that can show this matter.
It's just that, looking at it this way, it also makes Li Kun see that Qiu Yan is not deeply involved with the Daomen, and it is in a very short period of time, and he has achieved success in a few years, which shows that the talent, but the monk's cultivation to a certain extent will involve luck, except for people with great perseverance, they can rarely be inclined to humanity, and for a time Li Kun is not only a cherishing talent, but also does not dare to take risks, and falls into contradictions.
"In this palace test, he can't be deposed, but he can't be elevated, and the tail of the second party can't be dropped......"
Just when everyone in the hall was thinking differently, the official shouted: "Salute!"
Suddenly, the examiners and examiners bowed their hands in unison, and bowed towards the emperor's imperial couch with their arms.
This worship is not the emperor personally, behind him, there is the luck of the entire Darui Dynasty, and the thoughts of all the people converge into a dragon.
Therefore, this worship is to worship this dragon and all the people of the world.
After bending over, the fire in the hearts of all the people in Qiu Yan's soul reacted, and the will of Xingjing that was fused with it changed a little, and the dragon qi that had been cut off from contact for a few days resurfaced, filling his heart, making him feel a little trance.
After the ceremony was finished, all the beings sat down, and an attendant brought snow-white paper and put them on the table one by one.
Get the paper, the candidate is kneeling and sitting, this is not insulting, the ancients sat on the ground, there is no distinction between high and low, it is a general seat ceremony, which reflects the meaning of the emperor's corporal Lixian.
Then, a eunuch in front of His Majesty raised his throat and shouted out the question of the palace exam-
"I have heard about the major events of the country of soldiers, and now there is a war ...... in northern Xinjiang" (to be continued......)
