Chapter 555

On Xie's side, after Xie Yunjin entered the study, she didn't leave the room for three days, eating and living in the front yard.

Among them, Lu Jiao went to see him a few times, and found that he was in good spirits, so Lu Jiao was relieved. However, every time Lu Jiao went to the study, she would bring food with her. The door of the study room, but the whole person is still full of energy.

Besides giving food to Xie Yunjin, Lu Jiao also gave food to Liu Ziyan. Of course, Lin Dong and Dong Sheng would say that she made it for Liu Ziyan with her own hands, because then Liu Ziyan would protect the food and eat it by himself.

Lu Jiao also added spirit spring water to her food to ensure that Liu Ziyan was in good spirits.

Early in the morning three days later, all the Gongsheng students on the list entered the palace to take part in the imperial examination.

This was also the first time Xie Yunjin saw His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

His Majesty the Emperor is not young, he is about the same age as his old father, but he is in good spirits, his whole body is majestic, and his eyebrows and eyes are full of the fierceness of an emperor.

Xie Yunjin only took one look before bowing her head to kneel down to His Majesty the emperor above.

There are 300 tribute students who passed the exam. These 300 students will be admitted, but the admission is graded.

You can tell if you were born as a fellow Jinshi, just by hearing the name, it is not considered formal, it seems like Madam, many people would rather fail the ranking than have a fellow Jinshi background.

But half of the 300 people will be reduced to the same Jinshi background.

So the people in the palace examination were extra cautious.

This time the palace examination was divided into seats according to their ranks, so Xie Yunjin sat in the front seat. His Majesty the Emperor saw him at a glance. He was really good-looking. When the Emperor saw him, he couldn't help but take a few more glances. , and then asked Sun Mingliang, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy next to him, who is also the chief examiner of this exam.

"Is this Huiyuan, the head of the test, named Xie Yunjin?"

Sun Mingliang immediately responded respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The old emperor glanced at him again and said with a smile: "He looks pretty good. With this appearance, he is worthy of the name of being a Tanhua."

The voice was not low, and when everyone heard this, they couldn't help raising their heads to look at Xie Yunjin cautiously. Xie Gongsheng wouldn't really be called a prostitute by His Majesty because of his looks, that would be bad luck.

Xie Yunjin's expression was as usual. If His Majesty called her Tanhua because of her appearance, it would be his fate, and he accepted it.

But Sun Mingliang said, "Your Majesty, you can't deny his talent just because of his appearance."

This is the meaning of not agreeing with His Majesty's point of view on appearance.

The old emperor glanced at Sun Mingliang, and glared at him with a smile: "I know, you are cherishing your talent, and I know it well."

This time he selected Sun Mingliang as the chief examiner of the examination because he was upright and would not accept bribes.

"let's start."

With the order of His Majesty the emperor, the imperial examination officially began. As soon as the examination questions came out, all the examinees on the field were stunned and cut off their vassals.

This exam is too difficult.

Xie Yunjin and Liu Ziyan had known the exam questions a long time ago, but they didn't start writing immediately. Examination questions like cutting feudal clans are difficult. If the two of them started writing immediately, His Majesty, who is suspicious by nature, would suspect that they got the exam questions first.

So when the two of them got the test questions, they didn't start writing immediately, but slowly frowned and pondered, thinking about how to answer such test questions like others.

After thinking for almost a stick of incense, Xie Yunjin and Liu Ziyan started to pick up the pens.

Later, Liu Ziyan watched Xie Yunjin start writing, so he picked up the pen and started writing.

There was silence in the hall, only the rustling of pens and rice paper.

The old emperor couldn't sit still anymore, and slowly got up and walked down.

The first thing he read was Xie Yunjin's answer, but because Xie Yunjin had been thinking for a long time, he hadn't written much at this time, so after a few glances, the old emperor walked towards others. Some people could answer the exam questions calmly, When some people saw the emperor standing beside them, they could hardly hold their pens.

Seeing such a person, the old emperor couldn't help but frowned, and walked directly to the next person.

After reading several people's responses, the emperor was not very satisfied. Finally, he walked to Liu Ziyan's side, and after seeing his response, he was finally satisfied. After watching for a while, the emperor asked Sun Mingliang, who was beside him, and said, "Is this Liu Shoufu's son? "

Sun Mingliang nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, he is Liu Shoufu's son."

After looking at it a few more times, the emperor praised: "You are really a young genius. You can become a tribute student at such an age. It seems that Liu Shoufu is a good teacher."

Liu Ziyan got up quickly and thanked him: "Thank you for your praise, but Caomin was not taught by my father, but brought up by my grandparents. We have lived in Qinghe County for so many years, and this time we came back to Beijing because Caomin came to Beijing to rush for the exam. "

After hearing Liu Ziyan's words, His Majesty the Emperor's eyes darkened. He stared at Liu Ziyan and smiled slowly. This kid is a bit interesting.

"Sit down and answer the questions."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

His Majesty the Emperor found out about the matter of the Liu family, so he naturally knew that Liu Ziyan's words were true.

This kid doesn't get along with his father.

His Majesty the Emperor walked to the next one while thinking, and then only two or three people could answer the questions, and the others could not be seen.

The emperor circled around and then came to Xie Yunjin's side. Seeing this, he couldn't stop. Xie Yunjin's plan to cut down the vassals was not only well-founded, but also quoted classics to tell the typical examples of successful vassalization in the past. , Then he wrote a series of plans to cut down the feudal clan.

After the palace examination was over, the emperor named Xie Yunjin as the number one scholar in the palace examination on the spot, and another one was named second place, and Liu Ziyan was selected as the No. 1 scholar.

Liu Ziyan himself was good-looking, so he was called Tanhua, which was worthy of his name.

The emperor nominated three first-class Jinshi, and Sun Mingliang and Hua Chengze nominated second-class Jinshi, and the rest were all reduced to third-class Jinshi.

Zheng Zhixing was reduced to the top three Jinshi.

At the end of the main hall, Zheng Zhixing looked at Xie Yunjin, who was well-mannered in front of him, thinking repeatedly whether Xie Yunjin would get the emperor's exam questions first, and if he got the emperor's exam questions first, it was normal for him to get first, but Why didn't he give him the exam questions, they came from the same place anyway.

Zheng Zhixing felt for a while that Xie Yunjin got the exam questions first, and for a while he felt that Xie Yunjin didn't get the exam questions, and that no one would know about the exam questions given by His Majesty the Emperor.

But Zheng Zhixing thought of Liu Shoufu. The wife of Xie Yunjin's family saved Liu Shoufu's son. Liu Shoufu, as the current chief assistant, must know the exam questions. In this way, Liu Ziyan got the exam questions. Liu Ziyan will definitely tell Xie Yunjin when he gets the exam questions. .

Zheng Zhixing was in a daze, at one moment he resented Xie Yunjin for not telling him the exam questions, and at another moment he felt that Xie Yunjin was not that kind of person.

In front of the main hall, Xie Yunjin and No. 2 Tanhua knelt down to thank the emperor, and he had no time to pay attention to Zheng Zhixing behind him.

The top three were going to parade through the streets on horseback. With a swipe of a pen, the emperor ordered the top three to parade through the streets on horseback.

The restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the main street in the capital city were full of spectators. Besides the spectators, there were also boudoir ladies from various families. Today is the palace examination day. After the palace examination, the emperor will point out the top three in the palace. The top three are Those who want to parade through the streets, they want to see what the top three Tianzimen looks like, and many of them want to find a husband in it.

Lu Jiao had booked a private room in a restaurant on the main street three days ago, just to come out and watch Xie Yunjin straddle the street.

At this time, the mother and the others were talking in the private room, and the four little ones lay excitedly by the window and said, "Mother, mother, when will daddy come over, when will he come over?"

??Finally admitted to the champion, let's count the tickets to celebrate
