The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 515 Palace Examination ([-])

After Gu Chengyu and the others left, a doctor came to the study with a medicine box.

The doctor felt his pulse, frowned and remained silent.After a while, he sighed.

"My lord, I remember I told you before that you should not take that pill too much. If your lord insists on going his own way, I'm afraid that I will be powerless in the end." The doctor took his hand away from Prince Jing's wrist, very displeased.

Any doctor would be very annoyed if he knew that the patient did not cherish his body.Those pills are very harmful to the body, taking too much, even healthy people can't take it.Every time he eats it, he will wear down his body, even if he has an antidote.

King Jing heard the words, looked at the flowers outside the window, then turned around and said to the doctor, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, this is the last time, please prescribe the medicine!"

"I also hope that the prince will keep his promise. When the five-year period is up, the old man will be able to recover his freedom. If the prince does not cherish his body, after the old man leaves, no one will be able to heal him."

When the doctor said this, he was full of arrogance, and his medical skills were enough to make him proud.When the time comes, he will leave.If Prince Jing was dragged down by the pills, even he would be helpless.

"Of course this king keeps his word, Mr. Lin can rest assured."

"My lord! Your medicine is ready." Xiao Chengzi entered the study, and Prince Jing quickly shut up.The doctor covered the medicine box without saluting, and went straight out of the study.

"My lord, you are just a good-natured person. That doctor is so rude, and he is so rude when he sees you." Xiao Chengzi put down the medicine bowl in his hand, and muttered to Prince Jing.

Prince Jing smiled, did not shirk this time, picked up the medicine bowl on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and then wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Those who are capable have a bit of a temper, so don't worry about it."

Xiao Chengzi watched happily as Prince Jing finished drinking the medicine, and then thought of something else.

"My lord, Miss Xi."

King Jing waved his hand, "I know, there is no movement from the garden, and I already guessed that Xi'er failed. Gu Chengyu is really difficult to deal with, and it's worth the effort I put on him. "

Xiao Chengzi felt that the prince of his family valued Gu Chengyu too much. In his opinion, Gu Chengyu was just a young man with a literary talent. How could the master say that he was so rich?

Prince Jing knew what Xiao Chengzi was thinking at a glance, he took the transcribed "Sapphire Case" on the table in his hand and carefully tasted it.

"Do you think Hu Maoshen can get Guo Shi's confession?" He had sent someone to watch Guo Shi a long time ago. He originally planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.Unexpectedly, when Guo Shi was rescued later, he didn't let anyone intervene. Compared with the third child, the eldest was still more difficult to deal with.

Xiao Chengzi was a little surprised, "What does the lord mean that Gu Chengyu did that?"

He couldn't believe it, Gu Chengyu was not an official of the court, how could he know what happened in the Hall of Supreme Harmony?

On April 21st, the palace test.

Gu Chengyu and Ye Zhiqiu finished grooming at [-]:[-] in the morning, and drove to the palace in a carriage.

Ye Zhiqiu was a little restless. He looked at Gu Chengyu with his eyes closed, and finally couldn't help but said, "Chengyu! Don't you feel nervous at all?"

This time, Sun Xian was missing from the test takers, and he and Gu Chengyu were the only ones to accompany him to the end.

Gu Chengyu knew that Ye Zhiqiu was nervous, and then comforted him: "You were not bad in the general examination before, and you have improved in the re-examination. You shouldn't need to worry about this palace examination. Relax, as long as you don't perform abnormally, you should be in the top two. It's a sure thing."

After Ye Zhiqiu came to the capital, he immersed himself in studying hard, and the teachers in the academy were very optimistic about him.When I was studying in a private school before, I was always at a loss for what I didn't know. Now that I have come to the academy, I have mastered the knowledge of Yujiao, and my progress can be said to be rapid.

Master Wen has long been optimistic about Ye Zhiqiu, but it is a pity that his talents are limited.He also told Ye Zhiqiu that he would not bury his talent if he went to a higher school and sought out someone with profound knowledge to teach him.

As for Gu Chengyu, he is different from Ye Zhiqiu. Master Wen believes that sometimes he can just learn without a teacher, and with the guidance of a famous teacher, there is no need to worry at all.

Ye Zhiqiu was comforted by Gu Chengyu's few words, and he was much more relaxed than before.You will basically not be deposed in the palace examination, unless your writing is really nonsense, otherwise a fellow Jinshi is always indispensable.

However, Ye Zhiqiu's rankings in both the general examination and the re-examination were very high, and he also knew that as long as he took the examination well according to his usual standard, he should be able to enter the second class.

After thinking this through, Ye Zhiqiu calmed down.When it comes to the future of the future, no one can be exempt.After passing five stages and beheading six generals, they finally reached the last stage. After this time, they will be officials of the Dayan Dynasty.

Horse-drawn carriages are not allowed in the palace, so Gu Chengyu and the others could only get off the carriage at the palace gate.Looking at the long road ahead, Gu Chengyu's eyes were full of determination. This is the last exam, and he is about to enter the court.

It took Gu Chengyu and the others half a stick of incense to arrive at the Hall of Preservation. While walking, Gu Chengyu cursed in his heart that this time was completely wasted.Walking in the palace, even the sedan chairs carried by the ministers can only go to the inner city of the palace, and the rest of the road has to be walked.

Gu Chengyu followed the officials in front of him into the Hall of Preservation, and was guided by the officials of Honglu Temple to line up on both sides of Danbi.According to the ranking in the general examination, those with odd numbers will be ranked east, and those with even numbers will be ranked west.Gu Chengyu is a member of the examination committee, so he naturally stands on the east side.

The topic of the palace examination is the one ordered by the emperor, and it has long been placed on the yellow table on the east side of the palace by the officials holding the questions and the cabinet officials.

"The Emperor is here!"

Along with the eunuch's shrill and soft voice, the music outside the hall and the whipping, all the officials and new tributes bowed three times and nine times to the emperor.

Gu Chengyu knelt and kowtowed along with the crowd, but did not dare to look up at the emperor's face.After all, everyone lowered their heads, wouldn't it be very abrupt if he raised his head alone?
After the ceremony, the emperor returned to the palace.During the exam, the emperor will not guard.Of course, on a whim, you may come and go in a circle.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites began to break up the questions, and the tribute scholars knelt down to accept it, and then entered the hall.Gu Chengyu found his own test table and sat down in front of it.

Gu Chengyu did not rush to open the examination paper, but began to grind the ink.Put the test paper away from the ink first, so as not to splash the ink on the test paper when grinding the ink, there is really no place to cry.This is also Gu Chengyu's habit before each exam. If he does not grind the ink finely, he will not be able to write.

Gu Chengyu had no distractions, and he didn't care that the other candidates had started to write in a hurry. He still polished the ink smoothly without any delay, and stopped without any hindrance.

Open the examination paper on the table, first fill in the first page of the examination paper with the name, age, place of origin and the resumes of the three generations, and then start to read the questions.
