Training Wu Zhou

Chapter 62: Dawn is Tian Shelang, Twilight Deng Tianzitang

At this moment, thousands of households in Chang'an seem to be frozen.

Only the smoldering smoke was left. Although it was night, the conspicuousness of the fireworks still surprised those who cared.

I don't know how many people just took the case, and I don't know how many people sighed.

Then it seemed that the whole city was boiling, and thousands of families rushed to tell each other.

"The war is over!"

At the same time, all over the country, every city that can see the flames of war is boiling.

Pairs of eyes looked at the night sky in the dark, some sighed lightly, some laughed excitedly, and some had an inexplicable light in their eyes.

After a long time, Tang Guan withdrew his gaze, and Xiao Qi looked at the gorgeous fireworks and applauded, but he didn't see the green smoke hidden below.

"Uncle, go to bed first"

"Ah, oh, you go to rest early, I will call you on the fourth watch." Chen Yunsheng stared straight at the fireworks that were still blowing out, and said a little absent-mindedly.

Tang Guan nodded, returned to the house, lay down on his back, and closed his eyes directly, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

But for others, this night is destined to be a sleepless night.

......

The next day, early morning.

Since Wu Zhao monopolized the power, fought hard against the old Longyou aristocratic group, and reused humble bachelors, scholars have developed an incomprehensible fascination with the ultimate goal of the palace examination.

Almost scholars all over the world embrace the ultimate dream of "becoming a farmer in the morning and ascending to the Tianzitang in the evening", and strive hard to become stronger, but some people have worked hard all their lives and have not been able to ascend to the Tianzitang.

Students can only enter the palace examination after becoming a tribute. Since the large-scale palace examination was held today, this has become a canon.

But today, the civil and military officials know that there is a special palace examination to be held. In their view, it is a palace examination of "it doesn't matter whether you take the exam or not".

Early in the morning, the Luocheng Hall, which had not been used for many years, burst open.

Officials from Honglu Temple personally set up the imperial table and yellow case, while officials from Guanglu Temple personally arranged the candidates' seats. Usually, there were a lot of people in the hall, but now there is only one seat standing alone in the big hall.

Officials who came early from all walks of life shook their heads when they saw this scene, and some even showed wry smiles at the corners of their mouths.

This scene is quite funny, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty came to test a talented person who was not even a tribute student, and that talented person was only nine years old.

This undoubtedly broke the rules of employing people, and some senior officials from aristocratic families were even more frightened. The Empress's employing measures were getting more and more excessive, but there was nothing she could do, and she could only be eaten away step by step.

More and more officials were present, and those who were familiar with each other bowed their hands and stood in the right position according to their rank.

Queen, Your Majesty Dan. (Note: steps)

"Qubing, Uncle will go to the palace first, and you will go in through this door after the court rises, you understand?"

Chen Yunsheng ordered Tang Guan in a low voice while helping Tang Guan tidy his clothes.

"Understood." Tang Guan looked at Luo Chengdian, who had never been there, with playful eyes.

He didn't know how many famous writers in the world he had thrown away by more than a dozen streets. He thought that King Luo Bin was depressed and frustrated, and King Qin rebelled, and he Zhizhang He still hadn't achieved fame yet.

Thinking about the famous ministers in the world, Di Renjie, Lou Shide and others were still little-known officials, Tang Guan couldn't help feeling a vicious excitement in his heart.

"Haha, it's really a coincidence that it's better to come early. Now that Wu Zhao has not been favored by men, he is unbearably lonely. Princess Taiping has not yet married, and Shangguan Wan'er is still a court lady."

Of course, Tang Guan could only think about it first. He didn't even deal with a "concubine" Lin Yuxun, let alone these women who would rewrite history if they took the bait.

Only then did Chen Yunsheng straighten his official uniform, turn around and enter the hall.

At this time, Tang Guan finally saw the guards in the film and television drama. As more and more officials came to the scene, several teams of guards came to the door and lined up.

Tang Guan stood leisurely at His Majesty Dan, looking at the passing guards, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Shouted softly: "Brother Chang"

I saw a leader turned around to look at him, grinning, this person was Chang Ying.

Then he put away his expression and stood in front of the palace gate without looking sideways.

Seeing this, Tang Guan knew that this was the rule in the palace, so he stopped greeting him and just looked at Chang Ying from below.

Chang Ying changed into armor at this time, which was more heroic than the regular uniform, but Tang Guan's eyelids twitched.

I saw that Chang Ying's slender hands had another horrible scar at some point, which seemed to have just healed, and there were faint traces of herbs on it.

Tang Guan withdrew his gaze, and at this moment an inner eunuch came out of the hall, but it was the prince he had seen before, and he was still holding a food box at this time, Tang Guan was slightly taken aback when he saw this.

The prince stepped closer to him and said, "Little Lang, please use the palace cakes first, as the emperor will be promoted soon."

Tang Guan was stunned when he heard this, these things are not recorded in the book, only those who have gone through the palace examination will know that entering the palace for imperial food is something of the royal family.

After finishing speaking, Eunuch Wang opened the food box, Tang Guan looked at a piece of cake lying inside, it looked a bit like a moon cake but seemed right and wrong, Tang Guan picked it up and held it in his hand.

Wang Gonggong wanted to speak, but Tang Guan bit his mouth, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "Oh, little man! Don't be so serious!"

Tang Guan chewed a couple of mouthfuls and whimpered, "It tastes pretty good."

The prince couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words. This palace cake is just a formality. The palace examination will be held from early morning to sunset, and the scholars will inevitably be hungry. Although the saint said it is edible, none of the scholars in the palace examination in previous years regarded it as a treasure, so they should be carefully preserved. stand up.Unexpectedly, Tang Guan opened his mouth and bit off half of it.

"I'm hungry, is this the only one?" Tang Guan didn't understand this point, but thought that Wu Zhao was afraid that he would be hungry, so he ate the cake in his hand.

The prince shook his head when he saw this, and said in a low voice: "Young Lord, don't make a mistake when you rise to the court, remember this door."

Tang Guan nodded when he heard the words, and then the prince turned and left.

After seeing him off, Tang Guan winked at Chang Ying again, and Chang Ying only glanced sideways at him once in a while, and then stood there expressionless again.

Tang Guan felt bored for a while, and while he was waiting anxiously, suddenly there was a melodious sound of silk and bamboo in the hall.

Hearing this sound, Tang Guan was taken aback, why is there still music playing in the palace examination?

"Xuan Tang crown enters the palace!"

Just as Tang Guan lowered his head in wonder, the summoning sound came, Tang Guan stepped up the steps, passed by Chang Ying and looked at each other, only to hear Chang Ying whisper: "Congratulations"

Tang Guan glanced at him with a smile before entering the hall.

"The ministers are waiting to see the saint!"

As soon as he entered the hall, he heard shouts in unison, Tang Guan looked over, his eyelids twitched, "Okay, we changed places earlier."

I saw that there were hundreds of civil and military officials in the hall, and they were still the same group of people in Hanyuan Hall, but now Chen Yunsheng was added to the list of civil officials.

But what surprised Tang Guan was that the music didn't stop, only then did he realize that there was an extra group of maids in the palace playing the bombs there.

Until a voice came from the hall, "Where is Tang Qubing?"

The music stopped abruptly, and Tang Guan Wenyin hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "The minister is here!"

I saw Wu Zhao sitting on the throne at this time, looked at Tang Guan below, and looked at all the civil and military officials, nodded and said: "Take a seat."

Tang Guan looked around after hearing the words, and found that there was only one seat in such a large hall, and this seat was facing Wu Zhao's throne.

Immediately sat down very tactfully, "Oh, it's quite comfortable"

Tang Guan sat down and felt a sense of comfort. This is where Gongsheng gave it. It can be said that everything is exquisite and the limit of poor courtesy. From tables and chairs to paper and ink, they are all good things that literati dream of.

After sitting down, Tang Guan secretly looked around again, seeing the civil and military on both sides, he couldn't help but feel happy, thinking of the college entrance examination in his previous life.

Although it is said that the Chinese people are very good at taking exams because of the stereotyped strategy of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Guan disagrees. He thinks that even if there is no Ming Dynasty, the revival of the imperial examinations since the Wu Zhou Dynasty is doomed to this kind of character.

"However, I am the only candidate, but there are hundreds of eyes staring at me, which is much more powerful than the camera." Tang Guan sat upright on the surface, but he was constantly cursing in his heart.

I thought Wu Zhao was just going for a formality, and passed it, but I didn't expect such a big show, it seems that I really have to take the test.

"Could it be that the article was written for her and the rebellion was suppressed, isn't that enough?" Tang Guan secretly guessed.

At this moment, Wu Zhao's voice came out again.

"Book of Rites"

"Chen is here!"

Tang Guan also looked over when he heard the words, and looked at the person who walked out, but he was a middle-aged man with a slightly wretched feeling.

In fact, Wu Chengsi's appearance may not be so wretched, but Tang Guan saw his "first-class" temperament coming from his heart at a glance, and he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

"This good looks can also be a minister?" Tang Guan thought for a while, and then realized something, "Could it be?"

"Are there any test questions to prepare?"

Wu Chengsi smiled slightly when he heard the words, and then shouted: "Chengsi is not talented! This little friend is the reincarnation of a heaven and man, and he is very talented. Last night there was good news. , It is indeed the great blessing of the country, the great blessing of Your Majesty! It indicates that there will be a large number of outstanding people in the Tang Dynasty, and I will be interviewed as the disciples of the emperor. How dare we wait in front of the sick man!"

"Haha! It really is Wu Chengsi!" Tang Guan laughed in his heart, and this person immediately confirmed his true identity by flattering him.

"People say that you can beat Ma Wujialang, and it's true."

Sure enough, Wu Zhao also smiled when he heard the words, as if it had been arranged long ago, and said: "In this case, I will personally test you today."

Originally, Tang Guan was still secretly looking at Wu Chengsi. This man was very good at flattering. He had to say that what he said just now made him feel a little flustered. Hearing Wu Zhao's words, he immediately looked away.

"Still taking the exam?"

"write!"

An inner eunuch held up a pen and ink, and seeing Wu Zhao pick up the pen and write, Tang Guan below was also a little nervous.

He also discovered a law now, that is, the benefits Wu Zhao gave were not in vain, and the greater the benefits, the more things he had to endure.

I thought Wu Zhao would take a long time to write, but I didn't expect to finish it in a few strokes. Tang Guan was stunned when he saw this, and the internal supervisor didn't even look at it, and put the test questions into his kit.

"Shangshu" then bowed to Wu Chengsi.

Wu Chengsi accepted it when he saw it. In fact, he also wanted to know what Wu Zhao wrote. In the past, the test questions were discussed by various departments of the Ministry of Rites. Now it is Wu Zhao who personally writes the questions, and it looks very short. The shorter the topic, the less room for development.

It is also customary for the etiquette government to give examinations, and even if they don't know the topic, they don't dismantle it anymore, and go directly to hand it to Tang Guan.

Seeing this, Tang Guan got up to take it, and he didn't forget to smile at Wu Chengsi. Wu Chengsi was elated with this smile, and Tang Guan's expression was not fake at all, full of gratitude and appreciation.

Immediately, he smiled back and stepped back.

Tang Guan's smile was not acting, but he really admired Wu Chengsi, and his flattering skills were beyond his reach.

As for that gratitude, it was entirely Wu Chengsi's own imagination.

"Dismantle the question," Wu Zhao said softly.

Hearing this, Tang Guan opened the kit in his hand and took out the test questions.

"Could it be that I want to imitate her nephews and sing praises?" Tang Guan opened the test questions with a smile.

But when he saw the test questions, Tang Guan froze for a moment, and his smile gradually faded away.

Then Tang Guan suddenly raised his head to look at Wu Zhao, saw her looking at him with a smile on her face, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Seeing this, Baiguan was also slightly taken aback, and couldn't help scanning from the corner of his eye, but unfortunately they couldn't see clearly.

Tang Guan frowned and looked at the huge paper with only four words, and his heart was full of turmoil.

"What does she mean!? Could it be that she wants to?"

Thinking of Tang Guan's hands trembling, he saw only four words written on the paper.

"Pei Yan and I!"

For a moment Tang Guan stared at these four words and became sluggish.

"Qubing, writing a question, I will reward you for a good work, and you, the Tang family, will all be rewarded."

"This sentence again!?" Tang Guan raised his head and looked at Wu Zhao. She said this sentence every time, and now he understood the meaning. She was threatening him with everything he had!

Tang Guan bowed his head silently, and said in a low voice, "Yes"

Only then did Wu Zhao nod to an official under His Royal Highness, who took out paper and ink and handed it to Tang Guan's desk.

Tang Guan took the paper absent-mindedly, and didn't care to pay attention to it. The paper was extremely delicate, with red grid lines on it. Tang Guan knew that this was to standardize the word spacing, but Wu Zhao came up with such a test question, and Tang Guan was anxious for a while. Turn, thinking about what it means.

Over there, Chen Yunsheng knew Tang Guan's character well, and it was rare to see him so surprised. One moment he was smiling confidently, but the next moment his face was tense, and he couldn't help sweating secretly.
