Chapter 253 Why is Chen Jinnan here?

Chapter 253: Why is Chen Jinnan here?

Time, in the process of Xie Dashen's suffering and joy, finally passed.

Seeing it, the palace examination is coming soon, and Mr. Xie is finally free.

Of course, in the end, no one came to treat us again and again.

However, in order to "commemorate the undergraduate examination", Xie Jin was still fighting hard in the brothel the day before the palace examination.

It wasn't until morning that he hurriedly put on the official uniform that the scholar had brought from the inn.

Jie Jin wiped his face, sobered up a little, and then went straight to the Ministry of Rites.

Today's exam is different from the past. There are still many rules.

No, you first have to go to the Ministry of Rites to take roll call and gather, and officials from the Ministry of Rites will explain the various rules that will follow.

To put it bluntly, I will enter the palace later.

And these young scholars who have been able to put on preparatory official uniforms, even if their elders in the family have been to the court or the palace.

Or maybe they themselves will be able to take the step of entering the palace in the future.

But that has nothing to do with them for the time being.

Nowadays, they are still a group of newcomers who need to be scolded and shouted out by the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette.

It's no wonder that the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette are nervous. You must know that these days, many things require joint responsibility.

If the gang of boys in front of us caused trouble, wouldn't they get into some trouble?

What's more, this year's Enke has been full of mischief.

So much so that the Ministry of Rites himself was on tenterhooks.

I am deeply afraid that one of these candidates will be deep-minded but violent, and eventually target the Ministry of Rites or His Majesty.

Then the trouble will be big.

It seems fine now.

After the lecture was over, it was his turn to go to the palace.

In front of the palace gate, a group of students lined up neatly.

As Huiyuan, Xie Jin is naturally the one standing at the front.

However, Jie Jin, whose face was a little pale, his eyes were a little blue, his lips were a little dry, and his legs were trembling slightly, still looked a little embarrassed.

However, the scholars behind him could not help but murmur even though they were in the palace and looking at Jie Jin standing in the front row.

"Tsk, tsk, this is the awesome guy who leads all the candidates to show off. He looks like he just came out of a brothel. He's awesome!"

"Hehe, brother Li Zheng, don't underestimate this great gentleman. After all, he is a Huiyuan who can stand proudly in front of me!"

"That's right, that's right. We were so dragged down by this guy's bad words that we almost didn't make the list. But this guy managed to become a Huiyuan himself. I have to admire him!"

"Yeah, look at me, the imperial examination is right in front of me, and I can still stay in a brothel!"

"..."

Listening to the barely concealed joking words coming from behind, Xie Jin simply wished he could cry out for injustice on the spot.

But...he didn't dare!

After all, this matter was really the trouble he caused.

I just don’t know when this matter will come to an end.

You can't always remember this!

But at least for now, Xie Jin dare not say more than a few words.

He was as honest as a wooden stake. After being interrogated by the palace guards, he walked into the forbidden palace with his neck strangled.

It was the first time for all the candidates to come to the palace. Even though they had said many rules before, this young man still couldn't help but look around curiously due to his temperament.

The first impression of this forbidden palace is naturally one of solemnity.

Whether it was the Forbidden Army soldiers standing there as motionless as wooden stakes, or the chamberlains and maids hurriedly walking away with their heads lowered.

In the entire forbidden palace, it seemed that except for the sound of wind and their footsteps, no other sounds could be heard. The main hall in the distance, standing there, looked like a giant beast from the ancient times lying on the spot.

Just the solemn and solemn atmosphere is enough to make people feel in awe.

The candidates who were still muttering in low voices now no longer dared to fart.

All of them are as honest as quails. With their heads lowered, they are obedient and sensible.

The officials from the Ministry of Rites who were following him also smiled and shook their heads when they saw this.

Knew it!
Why didn't I come here like this back then?

There’s nothing wrong with that!
At least if you know the reverence and rules, you will have a better chance of winning in the future.

Stepping on the flat and smooth stone steps, the candidates walked towards the main hall step by step.

But some people started to tremble now.

Don't blame them for being nervous, any fool knows who they are about to face.

That was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu, who overturned the foreign dynasty, established Chinese orthodoxy, and rectified the world.

Not to mention that in addition to the emperor, there were also civil servants and generals from the Ming Dynasty waiting for them in front.

You know, let alone the emperor, it would be difficult for them to meet just the ministers standing in the hall in front today.

After all, who can stand here who is not a boss?

If they really grovel in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, they really should be kind to others.

To put it bluntly, it's just "the way to be an official".

No, Xie Jin, who is usually the most silly and bold, now feels his scalp is numb.

Damn it, he was still the first to go, and he would be the first to bear the "visual impact" later.

But at this moment, Xie Jin really felt that he might be able to go back a little bit.

This guy himself is not as young as the weak champion, and even this scientific examination is just for going through the motions and getting a taste.

Not talented enough, not pure in character, everything depends on luck...

Why did you let yourself go to high school?

It doesn’t make sense!

Not to mention the inner curse in Xie Jin's heart, even though his whole body was as stretched as a piece of wood, he could not stop after all.

Finally, the group of people arrived in front of the main hall.

At this time, it was the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette's turn to take action. Candidates could not just run in casually.

Normally, even other serious high-ranking officials and ministers have to report if they want to enter the palace. How can they be an exception since they don't even have serious official status.

Immediately, an official from the Ministry of Rites shouted loudly: "Please see the candidates for the current imperial examination!"

Later, a rather sharp voice came from the hall: "Xuan Jin's imperial examination candidates enter the hall!"

"As ordered!"

The official from the Ministry of Rites responded loudly, then turned around and walked into the main hall with a candidate.

At this time, tables and chairs have been set up in the main hall.

Pens, ink, paper and inkstones were already prepared on the table.

Obviously, this is where they will answer the exam questions later.

However, this is not what they want to do now. What they want to do now is to salute.

According to the rules taught by the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, after receiving the ceremony honestly.

Jie Jin, who was standing in front, couldn't help his curiosity and glanced at the surrounding civil and military officials with his peripheral vision.

But the next moment, Xie Jin was stunned.

what happened?

It seems like he saw the figure of Brother Chen Jinnan?
