33 The Palace of the Golden Throne
The prince Xiang Tiange sat alone in the middle of the Golden Palace, secretly licking his wounds.
So sad!
He obviously wanted Sister Yu to escape from the tiger's den, share his father's worries, eliminate the great harm for the people, and kill Xiao Hunhou, the largest playboy in Jinling.
The emperor's sister did not help her brother, but instead tried to hurt him, kicked him in the butt, twisted his ears, and forced him to swear to protect Xiaohunhou, the number one bitch in the big Chu.
The prince couldn't help but look up sadly.
The eunuchs in the hall were busy building warm stoves in the hall, preparing group of pillows and low tables, pens and bamboo slips for the candidates.
The students were all busy preparing to grind the ink and talking about the palace examination, but no one came to comfort him.
Why are the emperor and others not loyal and treacherous?
Prince Xiang Tiange couldn't help but feel even more sad.
Forget it!
Since I can't kill Xiaohunhou.
The prince was in the palace examination and tried to overwhelm him in one fell swoop. Let the father and sister know that he is the right prince.
...
Chu Tianxiu hurriedly walked into the Golden Palace.
In the Golden Palace, more than a hundred groups of puddles and the students all had their seats, looking up. Seeing that Xiaohunhou came to the test safely, he finally felt relieved.
They are also very afraid of something happening.
Xiao Hunhou was in the court and the country, and was known as the leader of the four major playboys in Jinling, and his reputation was not good. Many scholars were unwilling to join him.
But Xiao Hunhou was the marquis and prince of King Ping after all. If something happened to him in the palace, it would be a major event that alarmed the government and the people. The emperor would not have the heart to do anything.
Once this year's annual ceremony cannot be held, they will waste a recommendation quota in vain, and there will naturally be no chance to become an official.
Fortunately, Princess Xiang Ling arrived in time and suppressed the matter in time.
Princess Xiang Ling ordered the eunuchs to shut up again. Everyone was worried that this matter would cause a big loss, so they naturally shut up their mouths.
I just hope that the emperor will not know yet, so the year-end exam can be held normally. Even if the emperor knows about this in the future, the palace examination will have already ended and will not affect their future.
They were also lucky and arrived one hour in advance.
The emperor is still in the bedroom at this moment, and it is estimated that it will take an hour to arrive, so he has not come to the Golden Palace so soon to preside over the palace examination.
...
When Chu Tianxiu entered the hall, he found that more than 100 pillows were almost all filled with people.
Only in the center is the front, there is a tuft seat, which is still empty.
This position is directly opposite the throne of the Golden Palace, closest to the emperor, and no one wants to sit here.
During the palace examination, I was stared at by the emperor with cold and majestic eyes. The probability of my performance was too high, so I was asking for trouble.
Seeing that there was no seat, Chu Tianxiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the seat.
Li Gannian sat in Tuanpu not far away, behind the prince. Once the prince was extremely impulsive again, he could immediately detect and stop him.
Perhaps the disciples saw Chu Tianxiu arrive in the Golden Palace safely and felt that the problem was not big. The atmosphere in the hall finally became active and they were laughing and wishing the exam smoothly.
"Brother Xie is shocked in poetry and essays. If you come here prepared this time, you will definitely be in high school!"
Xie Lingyun next to Wang Xunchao said with a smile.
"Where is my brother's poetry and essays, and Brother Wang is a master of political commentary. When the emperor selects talents every year, Brother Wang is afraid that he will make a big splash."
Xie Lingyun shook his head and said.
"I'll be ashamed, and I'll talk big, and I can't be honest! Dong Xianliang and Chao Fangzheng, they are the real talents!"
Wang Xun smiled.
Their more than a hundred scholars were either rich or noble, either from the top ten families in Jinling or from officials. They were familiar with each other and had all had relatives.
It doesn't matter, I can't enter the Golden Palace at all.
Chu Tianxiu looked around and had no impression of most of the candidates in the hall.
Not because of amnesia.
As a little marquis, he is obviously much higher than the children of the clans in the hall.
Xiaohunhou usually makes friends with the legitimate sons of the princes and princes. He often plays with the playboys in Jinling. He never remembers many younger generations among the top ten clans of Jinling, so he is naturally not familiar with them.
Xiao Hunhou is the leader of the "Four Great Playboys in Jinling". His reputation as a playboy is obviously not ordinary, and no one greets him.
The seat on the left side of Chu Tianxiu is a honest Confucian scholar in blue shirt.
The Confucian scholar smiled and bowed to Chu Tianxiu, saying, "Dong Xianliang, a disciple of the imperial envoy, Master Kong, has met the young marquis!
The little marquis made paper is a thousand years of merit, which makes me admire him very much... I am afraid that I will never catch up with such great merit in my life."
"Brother Dong is humble and will definitely become a high school today. Maybe we will be a senior official in the future. When we have time, we will have a drink!"
Chu Tianxiu couldn't help laughing when he heard that Dong Xianliang admired him.
The disciple of the Censor Kong Hanyou had such a three-monarch who was the master of his army. It was obviously not difficult to enter the court to become an official.
"The little marquis has invited me, so I will accompany you!"
Dong Xianliang smiled humbly.
Chu Tianxiu looked around again.
The names of the students have already been written on the top of the bamboo slips. It can save some time during the palace examination and can be seen at a glance.
He found that the person sitting on the right was Chao Fangzheng.
This person is quite a bit noble. He greeted Chao Fangzheng but ignored him.
Looking further back, a candidate wearing a rather shabby clothes was named Father Yan.
This person seemed to have entered a state of no one, and ignored the noise around him. Of course, no one paid attention to him. A poor miscellaneous scholar who was born in a poor manner was incompatible with other scholars of the family and was obviously an alternative existence in the palace.
Chu Tianxiu and the prince are separated by a seat.
A little further away, there are Jia Yu, Gongsun Hong, Xiao Ziliang, Wang Xun, Xie Lingyun, Li Gannian, Yang Bing, etc., all of them are the ministers and family members.
The seating in the Golden Palace seems to be a bit particular.
The disciples of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers and the children of the Jinling clans were all the most forward, and the emperor listened more clearly.
The other candidates from the hundreds of counties in Dachu were far behind.
The candidate at the entrance of the hall was the most unlucky. If the emperor spoke less and they missed a few words or sentences, they could not understand the emperor's holy intention... Then they were confused during the palace examination.
Prince Xiang Tiange was alone, looking up at the sky and feeling sad and angry, and being sad and hammering the table. No one dared to approach him.
In the past, a group of flatterers had long been flattering around the prince.
But today, the prince suddenly went crazy and wanted to kill Xiaohunhou, which made many people worried about being implicated, fearing that the emperor would investigate in the future and suspected that he was instigating the prince to assassinate Xiaohunhou, and did not dare to get close to the prince.
Half an hour later.
Eunuch Cai and some of his subordinates finally arrived at the Golden Palace before the emperor came and told the disciples how to face the sacred ceremony and some rules for the palace examination.
In the rules of the palace examination, of course, there is nothing prohibited to be entrained or plagiarized... There is no examination of books at all, and there is no correct answer, so how about entraining?
No one was so stupid that he copied other people's questionnaires.
"During the palace examination, you should not talk or make noise!"
"After half an hour, the emperor will come to the Golden Palace. The emperor will give a question and will only say it once. You must hear it clearly. If you can't hear it clearly, then you will be blessed."
Cai and the eunuch walked past Chu Tianxiu and stopped.
His voice was much lower, so low that only three or four people near Chu Tianxiu could hear it. He smiled and said, "I would like to remind you that the emperor doesn't like those beautiful words that brag and talk.
If you brag about your beautiful words in your self-recommendation book, don’t take them out and use them in the palace examination. Whatever the emperor asks, you will answer everything on the bamboo slips and show your true skills! If you want to make a good deal, the better you do, do you understand?"
Princess Xiang Ling stopped him on the road just now and asked him to mention Xiaohunhou during the palace examination, so he would try his best to remind him.
So Xiaohunhou would not write a lot of gorgeous words again...but there was no useless nonsense.
But that's all he can say.
As for the test questions, Cai and the eunuchs didn’t know what questions the emperor would ask this year, it all depends on the emperor’s mood during this period.
Chu Tianxiu was a little confused.
What does this eunuch mean?
His caravan of bamboo slips recommended books, full of real and dry goods, all of which are dry firewood without moisture!
Chu Tianxiu looked at Dong Xianliang, Chao Fangzheng, Master Yan and others on the left and right sides again.
Chapter completed!
