Chapter 132 Palace Examination
Chapter 132 Palace Examination
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, you could hear a pin drop.
Three hours was indeed not a short time. Emperor Qing took some time to read the memorial and raised the dragon head above.
The answer sheet below is in full swing.
Emperor Qing's eyes involuntarily fell on Lu Liang. Was this the young man who won the top three prizes? It turned out that he was about the same age as the second son. He was indeed a rare talent.
Look at the other scholar next to him, he is not very old either.
Emperor Qing continued to look back and discovered that there were quite a few young candidates among this year's tribute scholars.
For a moment, Long Xin was very happy.
Emperor Qing stood up, and Li Jing immediately extended his hand to the emperor.
Emperor Qing did push his hand away and walked down on his own.
For a moment, many candidates who noticed this had their heartbeats quickened, and they held their breath and straightened their postures.
Emperor Qing ignored everyone and didn't care whether it would affect the mood of the candidates, and walked straight around the hall.
Look at this candidate's answers and look at that candidate's handwriting.
Everyone who was watching was sweating.
As for the people watching the test, they were happy, because except for the Second Prince, everyone here had gone through this step to get here.
They would be happy if they could spend all the money they had received on these people.
They should be allowed to feel the emperor's majesty first, so that they won't lose sight of their own capabilities when they first enter the court, and only know how to raise questions but not how to solve them.
In the end, these old people have to come out and clean up the mess.
Emperor Qing walked past the first few tables and began to wander around the hall without any plan. He just glanced around casually and then left.
The ministers all knew that none of them could catch the emperor's eye for the time being.
This is also normal. The seating arrangement is based on the ranking of the candidates in the imperial examination. If there are questions that catch the emperor's eye, they will be investigated by the emperor to see if they have committed fraud to disrupt the imperial examination...
Emperor Qing took a turn and came to the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He thought the sun was shining brightly outside, so he walked out.
All the courtiers:...
I knew that the emperor couldn't sit still anymore.
It was about the same time as in previous years, and I couldn't sit still any longer at this time...
But the emperor can leave, but they cannot. They have to stay until the last candidate hands in his paper.
Maybe he will have to check the papers overnight, which is the emperor's favorite thing to do.
Hey……
Now that the emperor is gone, the second prince is the most powerful.
Qi Yunyu also imitated his father and stood up and went downstairs. As a prince, he wanted to see the best papers.
So he went straight to the head seat, Lu Liang, and stood quietly beside him.
Lu Liang didn't even raise his head, but his men moved very quickly.
It seems that there is no need to think at all, the speed of my hands has probably caught up with the speed of many people's brains.
Qi Yunyu glanced at him and said, "Okay, we're down too late, and this kid is about to hand in his paper."
He simply turned around and came to Guo Ziheng next to him.
Guo Ziheng was still relatively calm. The girl let him return to Beijing to take part in the palace examination. If he failed to get a good result, he would be really sorry for the girl's trust.
If nothing else, at the very least, you can't fall from the position of second to third.
Now he doesn’t really want to be first anymore, after all, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot, so being second is good enough…
Probably another cup of tea passed.
The emperor came back from his walk.
He walked straight towards the imperial desk, without even stopping for the examinees behind him, which instantly chilled many people's hearts.
Their mood is also very up and down.
I’m afraid that the emperor won’t come, and I’m also afraid that the emperor will act recklessly.
The gray-haired Left Prime Minister raised his eyelids. Not to mention the Emperor, he had no patience left. He said that there were only two or three papers worth reading this year.
This is already pretty good. After all, people like Zhou Hongping can stay in the position of right prime minister, which shows that talents have always been a scarce resource.
Zhou Hongping: ...I was offended.
The Left Prime Minister picked up the teacup on the table again and said, "Since the emperor's tea is good, please go down and change it."
Scare them!
After the Second Prince left, the Left Prime Minister also left, followed by Censor Li and the Minister of Revenue...
Candidate: ...Is there a nail under the big shot's butt? Can't he just sit there?
Emperor Qing turned around and looked at the ministers in the room. He stopped and looked at the imperial desk a few steps away. Forget it, let him take a look at the ones in front.
He cast his gaze on the first young man. In fact, when he first came down, he wanted to take a look at his paper.
But I don’t know why, when I walked up to him, I inexplicably didn’t want to stop, and I felt a little nervous.
In fact, he had read his papers, which were very sharp. He was very insightful about current affairs but also had corresponding solutions. He was not a nerd who only talked about theory but not theory.
He appreciates it.
I don’t know whose child is brought up so well.
Emperor Qing took a breath and walked towards the young man, wanting to see how he would perform this time.
I had just taken two steps when I saw that person standing up. It seemed that he had finished answering the questions. So quickly?
Emperor Qing looked at him with displeasure. He didn't like people who were too self-important and proud. At this moment, the time was not even half over and others hadn't finished their answers yet, but he had already finished and checked them?
snort!
Emperor Qing sneered in his heart and met the young man's gaze. How bold! He actually looked directly at him...
Emperor Qing was stuck, losing his royal authority, staring blankly at the other party...
Li Jing behind Emperor Qing was also stuck, and the floating sinker in his hand fell to the ground...
The abnormal behavior of the master and servant also attracted the attention of other people in the hall.
Qi Yunyu curled the corners of his lips and stood behind Lu Liang, looking at his father, so that he could compare with his father later, or take blood for the blood test.
Of course, he probably didn't need this step.
I think he recognized his fourth brother at first sight, not because he was so close to his fourth brother when they were children.
But the look between Fourth Brother’s eyebrows is very much like the combination of Empress Chen and Father…
Then how could the emperor, who loved Concubine Chen so much, not recognize her?
The second prince was still smiling, but his smile was a little creepy...
Everyone couldn't help being curious, and all the ministers except the Grand Tutor slowly moved behind the Emperor, wanting to see if this candidate had opened three eyes and two noses and actually made the Emperor lose his composure.
Everyone raised their eyes and looked at the only candidate standing.
The young man in front of them was graceful, holy and charming, with a unique temperament and elegance, like a noble phoenix in the sky, making people want to surrender.
The left prime minister frowned: ...Isn't it just that she looks a little prettier?
You can't lose your composure in front of others. The emperor is becoming more and more capricious. But it's really beautiful.
Censor Li: ...Oh, what a scourge to the world. If he had a daughter, she would definitely not marry him. It would be too troublesome...
The right prime minister's eyes were bloodshot and he lowered his head hastily: He had seen the woman from a distance twice because he had the opportunity to visit his sister in the palace. This... the prince who didn't want to kill him...
Everyone: It looks good. No wonder the emperor lost his mind. But this could be the top scholar. It’s a pity to have a companion...
Ahem… It’s not impossible. The emperor hasn’t entered the harem for many years. Who can control him…
