Chapter 62
The morning light from the sky shone on the high city walls, and the imperial palace looked like a candle dragon that had just opened its eyes, but there was a murderous look in its sleepy eyes.This is the most majestic place representing the Great Yan Dynasty, and the place with the most traps. A wall separates two worlds.

Jiang Sesur looked back, she had gone in and died inside.

Although she was inferior to others in her skills and was given to death by a cup of poisoned wine in the name of disrupting the government, it was ironic that she, who was the best at medicine, was poisoned to death.

Lining his neck with his hands leisurely, no longer entangled with those past events, Jiang Sesel smiled and asked Mrs. Xie to sit in a restaurant at the top of the city.

The emperor, who was over half a century old, closed his eyes. He sat high on the dragon chair, listening to the chief examiner next to him explain the examination matters, and tapped his fingers on the table. No one would ignore the emperor because of his silence.

Several cabinet ministers stood neatly on both sides, waiting for the emperor to give orders.

As the person at the top nodded gently, the little eunuch shook his whisk and raised his sickly pale face.

"Exam!"

The high-pitched voice kicked off the main event of the day. The papers were sent to the bottom in order, and the students hurriedly opened the papers.

"—The Theory of Rewarding Loyalty to the Best"

This question is quite satisfactory, and it can be regarded as the part that everyone can guess, but it is not right when you look down.

"——What is the reason for the halving of the harvest in the suburbs today?"

The titles became more and more bizarre as the time went on, completely different from the previous styles.

Many people looked at each other in blank dismay, biting the bullet and picking up their pens but found that they couldn't start.

"Old Li, the questions you asked this time are too much." Zhao Ge was joking with his colleagues with a smile.

Li Ge waved his hands again and again with an expression of being afraid of you: "Then you haven't passed the audit yet."

The two looked at each other and smiled. His Majesty attached great importance to this imperial examination. The questions were all based on the people's livelihood, regardless of the focus of previous years.

If he can win this year's No. [-] Scholar, he will definitely be able to soar into the sky.

However, it seems that candidates are not optimistic at present.

Jiang Cheng's hands were trembling. He really didn't know that this year's questions would be changed so much. He obviously asked the examiner to take care of it. Why didn't he have a single original question?

Resisting his confusion, he flipped through the paper and tried to find a question he could understand, but found that he could barely answer one question after two pages.

It's over, was the only thought that crossed his mind.

In fact, there are quite a few people who have this idea, but Xie Dazhuang doesn't know where to put it, this is the original question!He saw it in Xie Chengyun's study!

Could it be that Xie Chengyun cheated!He is so courageous, no matter what he is, he has made himself cheaper anyway.When the time comes to confess Xie Chengyun's cheating, it will kill two birds with one stone.

Xie Dazhuang only felt that even God was helping him, he wrote like a god, his face was full of complacency, and he would be the number one scholar hand-picked by the emperor in the next moment.

"Which one do you like?"

Mr. Li Ge secretly whispered to the two people next to him.

"I heard that the second son of the Xie family is very knowledgeable."

"The old man thinks that Mr. Fu is also quite outstanding."

Seeing that Mr. Tang Ge was determined to fight against him, Mr. Zhao Ge flicked his sleeves, don't beg him in the future!

"Why do I see that Xie Chengyun is not in good condition? Could it be that he is also stumped?"

Li Ge frowned, he is also optimistic about Xie Chengyun, don't let yourself down.

From the first step into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xie Chengyun realized that something was wrong, and after a little thought, he knew that there was something wrong with the food he ate just now.

He finished his cup of hot tea with a blank expression, closed his eyes and waited for the roll to be released.

The paper was quietly placed in front of Xie Chengyun. He opened his eyelids and glanced at it. It was almost the same as the topic he had guessed. Xie Chengyun nodded.

Just as I was about to write the first word, I suddenly felt a twinge in my stomach.

His face paled slightly, Xie Chengyun paused with his fingertips, and then wrote the first line indifferently.

The incense was burning inch by inch, a wisp of cigarette smoke drifted away, and the field was extremely quiet except for the rustling.

Li Ge stared at Xie Chengyun and paused from time to time, he sighed in disappointment, he thought he was a genius, but he didn't expect it to be nothing more than that.

Ah Fu, who was waiting outside the door, had already run to the nearby latrine and vomited and diarrhea five times, and stood up almost exhausted. He resisted the nausea and thought carefully about what he had eaten.

Suddenly a panic spread from the bottom of my heart. Could it be the plum cake this morning?What about the master?
Immediately Ah Fu was so anxious that tears were about to come out, he stomped his feet but found that he couldn't do anything.

Another wave of dizzying nausea and abdominal cramps hit, Ah Fu could only follow his instinct to go to the toilet again.

Ah Fu, who was squatting, couldn't help crying, what if his master failed the ranking because he took the wrong pastry?

A quarter of the time had passed, and the inspecting officials couldn't help but relax their vigilance a bit.

There were all kinds of people in the examination room, and their endings were already written on their faces.

Xie Chengyun's fingertips turned white, but he didn't frown, his eyes were still calm and composed.Lifting his phoenix eyes to look at the time, Xie Chengyun speeded up writing in his hands, and pursed his thin lips tightly.

The time here is racing against the clock, and the people who are waiting for the results outside really feel that it is extraordinarily long.

Nan Gongchen and the second prince, who were separated by a wall, sat on the rug without paying attention to each other. Most of the champions in previous years were taken under the command of the eldest prince. Naturally, they can no longer sit and wait for death this year.

Nan Gongchen lowered his head, thinking carefully about the few students he had intentionally contacted before, and suddenly thought of Xie Chengyun, and couldn't help but itch.

No matter in terms of talent or ability, Xie Chengyun is excellent, but he is Jiang Sesur's husband. Nangong Chen felt awkward in his heart and never tried to win him over.

As long as this year's new champion is not Xie Chengyun, Nan Gongchen held back the uneasiness in his heart and patiently waited for the result this time.

And the parents and relatives waiting anxiously outside the palace gate couldn't even drink their saliva. If they failed the palace examination once every three years, they would have to waste a lot of time.

Who doesn't have the idea of ​​honoring their ancestors, but in the face of reality, they can only put this hope on their children. This has been the case for generations. I don't know how many people can pass the test under the pressure.

Don't you see that after the imperial list, several families mourn and some people drink hatred.

"I hand in the paper—"

The cold voice first broke the peace in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xie Chengyun stood up calmly, and the paper on the table had been picked up by a nearby eunuch.

The emperor who had kept his eyes closed opened them with interest, stared at Xie Chengyun for a while, and nodded downward.

Old Li Ge frowned immediately, he had just noticed that Xie Chengyun's paper was not finished.Now less than half of the time has passed, Xie Chengyun can continue to answer the paper, why deliberately give up the last big question?
That question was a discussion, and it required several thousand words to answer, and it was worth a lot of points. With Xie Chengyun's talent and learning, even if he couldn't shine, he would never give up directly.
