The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1735 Examination Location
The real teachers of the Guozijian cannot take the positions of high-ranking officials. Most of the gentlemen are just pure scholars. Even if Chang Le came back to tell Xuan Shijing that day, what the supervising students of the Guozijian gathered together to drink was just their own guess.

The thoughts and practices of officials are different from those of simple teachers or literati with strength of character, because they are in different positions and pursue different things, but in the end, if they are not determined, they will probably be rejected. Contaminated and assimilated by the gray environment.

So Xuan Shijing is more fortunate that the academy on Zhuangzi in Dongshan County is still some distance away from the power center of the imperial court. Even if the gentlemen of the academy were originally from imperial court officials, they know what is going on and will not let the academy be so clean place, to stain the mess.

But in Xuan Shijing's view, this has both advantages and disadvantages. The academy is too clean, which is not a good thing. The people taught are all honest gentlemen. Is this a good thing?After all, they will go out of the academy in the future and get in touch with all kinds of people. If this is the case, they will easily suffer.

But things have to be done step by step, one bite can't eat an elephant, the current academy is still young, and with Xiao Yu and Gao Shilian looking at it, there will be no major problems.

It's just that things after the academy should be considered in advance. In Xiao Yu's words, he can't wait for a few years in the academy. No one knows his own body better than Xiao Yu. Shijing has a headache.

Regarding the Guozijian, Xuan Shijing has already said what should be said, and the rest is the cooperation between Di Renjie and the Guozijian. In any case, it is invisible to resolve this matter before the exam , to resolve the tricks against Di Renjie, everyone is happy.

But Xuan Shijing still wanted to know who spread the rumor first, but Di Renjie could only investigate this matter after the exam.

Xuan Shijing left the Guozijian, Di Renjie stayed there, and walked out of the gate of the Guozijian, Xuan Shijing also sighed, feeling a little complicated.

Then he laughed at himself. After all, there are people in the court who are good at handling things. Just like this time, Di Renjie sat in Chang'an Jing Zhaoyin's seat, which also provided Xuan Shijing with a lot of convenience. No wonder so many people like to form cliques for personal gain. Son.

In the afternoon, the officials from the Imperial College had already stood up to refute the rumors, and brought out the set of rhetoric that they had agreed with Xuan Shijing before. The matter of the two supervisors was true, and it gave an explanation to the people of Chang'an City.

Even the people from the Guozijian stood up to refute the rumors, and the rumors naturally subsided. This wave of rumors came and went quickly.

Things have come to this point, for the students on both sides, it is finally calm.

In such an environment, finally ushered in the test.

The venue for the examination was arranged in the Taiji Palace in Chang'an City. Now that the imperial court has moved to the new palace on Longshouyuan, the Taiji Palace in Chang'an City has been vacated. The venue for the examination is set there, and the place is big enough , spacious enough and well-guarded, there is no need to find another place like in previous years.

On the day of the examination, the number of guards in the Taiji Palace more than doubled, and the guards on the third and outer floors of the entire palace were strictly guarded. Candidates entered the examination room and had to go through three inspections before they could sit safely in their seats.

And just today, the Suzaku Gate, Hanguang Gate and Anshang Gate were opened wide, and the family members of candidates can enter the imperial city. It is rare for so many people to gather in the imperial city, and candidates enter Taiji through Chengtian Gate. in the palace.

The general examination will last for half a day. In the examination room at noon, candidates bring their own food boxes. In the afternoon, candidates can decide whether to hand in their papers and leave the examination room. At the latest, before dark, the test is over and the examiner will forcefully collect it. Roll ends the exam.

Candidates from all over the Tang Dynasty gathered in Chang'an City, and today is the time for them to give it a go.

In the imperial city, there are also speculators. Seeing so many people waiting in the imperial city, they set up a stall outside the Suzaku Gate. At noon, people must have a meal. Even if it is not a meal, there will always be people If you want to come out to have a rest, you can't just stand in the imperial city all the time, waiting anxiously for the candidates to come out from Chengtianmen.

As for Xuan Shijing, who is in Chang'an City, he naturally has to accompany the students from Zhuangzi to the examination room, but Xuan Shijing doesn't have to wait in the imperial city. With his token, he brought the academy entourage into the East Palace.

For the East Palace, Xuan Shijing is not familiar with it. He has been here many times since he was a child. If he is most familiar with the imperial palace in Chang’an City, it is the East Palace, followed by the main hall of Taiji Palace. There are also places, the harem here, and the Yeting Palace to the west of the Taiji Palace. Xuan Shijing rarely set foot in the Yeting Palace, and has hardly been there.

I heard that when His Majesty Li Er was the King of Qin earlier, he used to live in the Yeting Palace, and later moved to the King Qin's Mansion.

When the Xuanwumen Palace Change was launched, we set off from the Tongming Gate of Yeting Palace, walked with us, passed by Anfumen and Fanglinmen, and then learned about Xuanwumen.

Later, after Xuan Shijing became familiar with the imperial palace in Chang'an City, there was one thing that he couldn't understand. The three gates of Taiji Palace were juxtaposed, from west to east, with us, Chengtian Gate, Changle Gate, and then Chongming Gate. , That is the gate of the East Palace. His Majesty Li Er went out from Yong'an Gate, and Li Jiancheng back then went out from Chongming Gate. If they were fighting, wouldn't it be closer to Chengtian Gate or Changle Gate?In the end, the two of them bypassed the entire palace and went to the Xuanwu Gate to fight.

The same goes for Li Jiancheng. He entered the palace early in the morning to go to the Taiji Palace. The Chongming Gate was the closest, but he had to go around half of the East Palace and enter the Taiji Palace from the Xuanwu Gate.
Xuan Shijing walked in the East Palace, and couldn't help thinking of this. His Majesty Li Er didn't live in the East Palace for long.

In the palace of Chang'an City, it seems to be peaceful now, maybe every inch of the floor tiles on the ground is stained with blood.

From the former Sui Dynasty to the Great Tang Dynasty, this place has always been the center of power. No matter how absurd Yang Guang was, no matter how unrestrained, this place is still the imperial capital of the Great Sui Dynasty.
