Monument Yangmen

Chapter 117 Palace Exam
Princess Qingyu ordered the groom to drive Yang Yansi back to the Yang Mansion in a carriage.

On the way, Yang Yansi had already learned from Princess Qingyu everything that happened during the day and night when he was sleeping soundly.

Yang Yansi was very surprised that he was ranked No.18 in the provincial high school examination.

With Wang Qin as the deputy examiner, it would be good if he was not dismissed. How could he be given such a high ranking.

Yang Yansi quickly guessed that the matter was probably related to Xue Juzheng.

With Wang Qin, the deputy examiner, standing in the way, only Xue Juzheng, the chief examiner, could rank so high.

Yang Yansi couldn't figure out why Xue Juzheng would help him, nor could he.

The carriage arrived at Yang's Mansion, Yang Yansi bid farewell to Princess Qingyu and entered Yang's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Yansi felt a beam of joy in the Yang Mansion.

Surprisingly, Yang Ye did not punish Yang Yansi for not returning home for a day and a night, but retreated him in front of the guests and praised him fiercely.

In the end, Yang Yansi was a little embarrassed to be praised.

The banquet in Yang's mansion lasted until midnight.

At the banquet, Yang Yansi also drank a lot, and after returning to the east courtyard, he passed out drunk on the bed.

When he opened his eyes again, the envoy sent by the imperial court to deliver the official uniforms had already arrived at the Yang Mansion.

If you are admitted in the provincial examination, you must wear official uniforms if you want to participate in the palace examination.

This is to show the importance attached to the palace examination, and also to show respect for the emperor.

Official uniforms in the early Song Dynasty were purple at the third rank and above, vermilion at the fifth rank and above, green at the seventh rank and above, and cyan above the ninth rank.

The official uniform sent to Yang Yansi by the imperial court was blue.

A blue gown with a round neck and large sleeves, with a horizontal lace at the bottom, a leather belt around the waist, an official hat on the head, with a horizontal swing on each side of the official hat, and official boots on the feet.

Yang Yansi put on the official uniform under the service of the maids, adding a bit of heroism.

On the day of the palace examination, at five o'clock, She Saihua woke up Yang Yansi.

Yang Yansi put on his official uniform, got into his family's carriage, and hurried to the gate of the palace.

Along the way, I met forbidden soldiers patrolling the streets. As long as I showed my identity seal and stated that I was going to participate in the palace examination, the forbidden soldiers would let me go.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw many people standing at the gate of the palace.

All of them were wearing blue official uniforms, waiting for the palace gate to open.

Su Yijian saw Yang Yansi rushing over, and leaned forward.

"Brother Yu, this time Brother Yu has overwhelmed you."

Su Yijian is the first in the provincial test and is qualified to show off.

Yang Yansi got off the carriage, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Su was a little too happy for failing the palace examination, right?"

Su Yijian snorted coldly, "I will win the palace test in one fell swoop."

Wang Dan also came over at this time, and there was a large group of people beside him.

"Brother Yang Xian, I haven't seen you since the Gongyuan. I wanted to invite you to celebrate with me, but I couldn't find anyone."

Yang Yansi cupped his hands, "Things at home are cumbersome, and I can't get away. When I turn around, I will be the host. Please enjoy drinking together."

"Brother Yang Xian, in the year of dancing elephants, was on the top of the high school list. I waited for the age of forty, and I was ashamed to be in the same subject as you!"

The person who spoke was an uncle in his 40s. Yang Yansi vaguely remembered seeing him when the Ministry of Rites verified his name.

He should be Chao Jiong, a great book collector.

Wang Dan smiled and introduced to Yang Yansi, "Brother Yang, let me introduce you, this is Chao Jiong...Zhang Yong...Feng Zheng..."

Wang Dan introduced the last person.

The last person, Yang Yansi, was quite impressed.

This person is the undergraduate, besides him, the second youngest person.

"Huazhou Kou Zhun!"

Yang Yansi broke Kou Zhun's identity with one word.

Kou Zhun was young and had an out-of-the-way personality. Yang Yansi called out his identity, and he bowed his hands and saluted with a smile.

"The next one is Kou Zhun."

Yang Yansi looked at the immature Kou Zhun, and the admiration in his eyes could not be concealed.

Kou Zhun saw that Yang Yansi didn't look at other people, but looked at himself like a hunter looking at prey, and his eyeballs rolled around.

"Brother Yang Xian has met you before?"

Yang Yansi shook his head, "I haven't seen it before, but there will be many opportunities to meet in the future."

This kind of famous minister through the ages must be gathered into his own hands before he grows up.

This is Yang Yansi's idea.

Wang Dan's level of making friends is very high. In addition to Yang Yansi and Su Yijian, the rest of them are also among the top [-] in this provincial examination.

In Yang Yansi's eyes, these people are all talents, if they can gather one or two in the future, that would be a real pleasure.

Therefore, Yang Yansi's attitude was very humble, and he chatted with them.

A group of people flattered each other, tested each other, and finally chatted. As long as they didn't break taboos, they talked about everything.

Gradually, a fish-belly whiteness appeared in the east.

Led by Xue Juzheng, the students lined up in two rows at the gate of the palace.

Xue Juzheng led all the students, and after thanking the emperor for his kindness in front of the palace gate, they filed in under the leadership of the eunuchs.

Entered the palace.

All the students looked around in amazement.

The old man stretched his neck.

Yang Yansi was not immune either, he had previously entered the palace through the west gate, and was taken directly to the side hall after entering the palace, he did not enter through the south gate to see the magnificence of the front of the palace.

He visited Kaifeng's Songhuangcheng ruins in later generations, but at this moment, looking at the imperial palace is obviously slightly different.

Compared with the playful scenic spot in later generations.

The palace at this moment is full of grandeur, grandeur, solemnity, and solemnity.

The guards of the palace wore polished and shiny armor, held gleaming knives and guns, and stared ahead without blinking.

The eunuchs drooped their heads and walked in a row in a row.

The court ladies hid in a corner in front of the Daqing Palace, secretly looking at the high-spirited Xin Scientists.

A series of banners with unique Song colors were fluttering, and they were blown in the wind.

In front of the Daqing Hall, a row of young eunuchs stood.

The chief eunuch Wang Jien came out from the Daqing Hall, glanced at the Xin Kezi led by Xue Juzheng, and shouted sharply.

"Your Majesty has a decree to announce that the disciples of today's science will go to the palace."

The young eunuchs standing in a row then shouted in unison.

"Xuanjin's son of science goes to the palace."

The sharp and loud voice echoed in the palace and lingered for a long time.

Xue Juzheng took the lead, followed by the students, and everyone bowed and saluted together.

"promise!"

Afterwards, Xue Juzheng led the students into the main hall.

In the main hall, Zhao Guangyi sat high on the dragon chair, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, with a solemn face full of majesty.

On the table in front of him, there are books.

The book has obviously been read for a long time, and the corners of the book are worn.

Under the dragon chair, there are eight officials sitting on both sides, all wearing purple robes.

Zhao Pu is the leader on the left, and Shen Lun is the leader on the right.

The six ministers were divided into threes and threes, sitting at the bottom of Zhao Pu and Shen Lun.

In the Daqing Hall, low desks have already been placed, on which pens, inks, papers and inkstones have been prepared for the students.
