Empress work daily

Chapter 88
The "Guide to the Palace Examination" was written by Ji Qiang, and it contained the specific time, place, and route map of the palace examination.In order to show clarity, Ji Qiang specially asked Wang Shengjun to draw the thresholds, bridges, palace feathers and other physical objects on the road map.

After finishing all this, she ordered someone to carefully copy it, and everyone had a copy.

To her great surprise, these people were "broken" in half as soon as they entered the palace.Moreover, she can guarantee that among those who "folded" away, there must be someone with a guide.

Holding a very clear road map, he could go the wrong way, just because he was frightened by a group of habayashi soldiers who didn't know the so-called, and he didn't even wait for Ji Qiang's original plan of "drawing the sword" to threaten each other.

Ji Qiang, who was standing on the high platform, was also thinking about this question. The reason why Wang Geng didn't draw his sword in the end, and led people back in a perfunctory way, must be because of fear.In case he raised his sword, everyone was scared away, and there was no one left, how should he explain?

In order to ease the atmosphere, Shang Liujia touched his nose, laughed awkwardly, and enlightened Ji Qiang, "It's the first time for the tributes to enter the palace, where have you seen such a battle? Not only is Wang Geng born tough, he is used to To bluff people, the key is that the reason given is still decent, who would dare not believe it?"

"Didn't I give them the "Palace Examination Guide"?"

"They only know that the guide is made of hair, but they don't know that His Majesty made it by himself. Otherwise, they would have taken out the guide and thrown Wang Geng in the face."

Ji Qiang said no more.

The main consideration of this first level is the courage of the tributes.

Courageous people can face danger without fear, and timidity is not a bad thing. Generally speaking, timid people tend to avoid risks, obey authority, and be liked by Shangfeng.

Everything can be transferred to each other, there is no absolute good or bad.

Unknowingly, a quarter of an hour passed, Shang Liujia tidied up his appearance, led Ling Lu and other servants to bid farewell to Ji Qiang, "This minister is waiting to appear, Your Majesty will wait for the good news."

The second hurdle is Shang Liujia. He led more than a dozen servants in a big battle. When he arrived at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he saw that the two separate teams had already arrived at the same goal by different routes.So, Shang Liujia coughed loudly twice on purpose, and Eunuch Li hurried over to greet him, and introduced to everyone, "This is the chief executive, the most popular person around His Majesty, Eunuch Shang."

Everyone saluted and said hello to Shang Liujia one after another, Shang Liujia smiled proudly, but said in his mouth: "What are the red people and the blue people? Our family only serves His Majesty wholeheartedly, and never thinks about anything else."

Eunuch Li continued to flatter, "This is what His Majesty likes about you."

Shang Liujia smiled broadly after being praised, and said seriously to everyone: "Your Majesty has set a proposition in the Hall of Preserving Harmony, and all tributes are invited to follow our house to the Hall of Preserving Harmony."

"The Hall of Preserving Harmony?" Sun Jizong and others were suspicious. The guidebook clearly stated the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so why did it become the Hall of Preserving Harmony again?
For some reason, he always felt that the palace examination was a bit "weird" that he couldn't describe.

"My lord, the "Hall Examination Guide" said that the exam was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, how did it become the Hall of Preserving Harmony again?" Tao Guangyi asked everyone's thoughts, and they all stared at Shang Liujia intently.

"What "Palace Examination Guide"? Our family has never heard of it." Shang Liujia said with a serious face, "Our family is only ordered to deliver the decree, and the tributes should not delay too much, otherwise, the test papers will not be finished, and the ranking will be missed in the future. Don't blame our family."

Everyone was anxious when they heard it. What is the reason for studying hard since childhood, passing through five stages and killing six generals?
Now that the imperial palace is here, if you delay the exam for other reasons, you will be laughed out of your teeth if it gets out!

Sun Jizong and Tao Guangyi were still struggling with the matter of the "Guidelines for the Palace Examination". A few well-meaning tributes clung to them, and persuaded them: "Don't be a guide! Mr. Shang has come to invite you by order. Could something be wrong?"

Sun Jizong and Tao Guangyi also understood what they meant. According to common sense, no one would dare to falsely pass on the imperial decree in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony under a clear sky.

However, when the two of them thought of the scene on the Suzaku Bridge just now, they felt that it was unreasonable.

The two broke free, and wanted to ask Shang Liujia a few more words, why would Shang Liujia give them a chance, and led the team away.

At this time, there were only three people left in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

In addition to Sun Jizong and Tao Guangyi, the other person is the No. 11 student in this competition, Zhan Jin, a student from Jingzhou.This person has followed Sun and Tao closely since Zhuque Bridge.

However, seeing the team leave, he was a little anxious, "Should we follow? What if we miss the exam?"

Sun Jizong asked him, "You also said in case, do you also think it's a bit strange?"

Zhan Jin nodded. At this point, he didn't care too much. He just put out the doubts in his heart, "Would it be possible to make mistakes again and again in the palace examination, which attracts the attention of the whole country? So, I vaguely guessed, either there is something wrong with the guide, or there is something wrong with the guide. Father-in-law has a problem."

"Actually, I was thinking of another possibility." Sun Jizong frowned, "All these unreasonable things may be arranged by His Majesty."

Tao Guangyi's eyes lit up, and he echoed repeatedly. He also felt the same way.

Just as the three of them said this, the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony suddenly opened.

Linglu raised his voice in a dignified manner: "The time has come, please invite the three tributes to enter the hall for examination."

The three of them were overjoyed, their excited legs trembled a little when they entered the hall.

In the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there were three examination papers. The examination papers had already been laid out. The three of them didn't care much, and one of them chose a seat and prepared to answer the questions.

But before it started, the three of them were dumbfounded again.

Sun Jizong's writing brush didn't have a hair on it, Tao Guangyi's ink cartridge didn't contain a single drop of ink, and Zhan Jin's examination paper was missing a leg, and it crooked when touched, almost spilling ink.

"Hahaha..." Sun Jizong laughed suddenly, "This is so interesting."

"It seems that we chose the wrong place after all." Sun Jizong pointed at the door and smiled at the other two: "Why don't we go to the Hall of Preservation together?"

Zhan Jin said solemnly that it might be too late, while Tao Guangyi shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, forget it, I'm already ranked outside the top ten, even if I re-rank it again, I won't be number one, second place, or No. , if this is the case, what is the difference between eleven and twenty?"

Sun Jizong praised: "Well said! In any case, it is a great fortune to be able to sit in this Hall of Supreme Harmony in this life. What's more, I have seen His Majesty's proposition with my own eyes."

The three of them picked up the test paper at the same time, and the proposition only had two words: Yongzhou.

So far, the three of them had understood all of Ji Qiang's intentions, and Sun Jizong was even more excited, but unfortunately there was no brush in his hand. At this moment, Tao Guangyi stretched out his hand and handed him his brush.

Then he stood up and said to Zhan Jin, "Brother Zhan, use my test case."

Zhan Jin declined, wanting to give up his pen and ink to Tao Guangyi, but Tao Guangyi told him that anyone who wrote this test paper is the same.

Zhan Jin looked at Sun Jizong again. He had already written several lines eloquently.

So, he solemnly bowed to Tao Guangyi, and took a pen and ink to sit down in front of Tao Guangyi's examination case.

Suddenly, the small door on the side of the Hall of Supreme Harmony opened, and Ji Qiang came in dressed up.
