Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 143
I don't hear what's going on outside the window, and I only read the books of sages and sages.

In the days that followed, Qin Guan continued to read books, especially the test papers of the imperial examination champions in the past dynasties on his mobile phone, absorbed the essence of them, and benefited a lot.

Twenty days passed in a flash.

The night before the palace examination, Qin Zhang called Qin Guan to the study, Qin saw his father's face was a little heavy, and asked, "Father, what's the matter."

"The host of the palace examination has been confirmed. This time the palace examination will be hosted by Lu Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites. I'm afraid it will be bad for you." Qin Zhang said.

"The Minister of Rites, Lu Sheng, belongs to Zeng Yu?" Qin Guan asked curiously.

"Zeng Yu is the Prime Minister, in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials." Qin Zhang said.

The Ministry of Rites is the head of the six ministries, and the officials in charge of the Ministry of Officials are promoted, appointed and dismissed, so powerful. No wonder Zeng Yu controls the civil service system.

Qin Guan asked suspiciously: "Shouldn't the chief examiner be the emperor?"

"The emperor is only the chief examiner in name. The emperor will not read every test paper. Under normal circumstances, the presiding examiner will determine the top ten, and then submit it to the official for review. The official will finally determine the top ten." Qin Zhang said.

Qin Guan asked, "Father means that he will judge me not to be in the top ten?"

"It is very likely that you will even put your test paper in the final class."

Qin Zhang patted his son's shoulder, sighed, and said sadly: "Speaking of which, it's because of my father that I delayed you, otherwise you would have a chance to win the Jinshi."

Qin Guan laughed.

"Father, I am your son, I am the Qin family, we are in the same boat through thick and thin, and we will move forward together." Qin Guandao.

Back in his room, Qin Guan was a little depressed at first, but in the end, he felt relaxed instead.

In the past, he thought about striving for the top, and he felt a little pressure, but now that he knows that someone will make trouble against him, he has no pressure.

Anyway, the system only requires you to pass the Jinshi examination, and the palace examination only ranks and does not count people. If the rank is low, it will be low. Do I still want to be an official here for the rest of my life?

Qin Guan pulled up the quilt and fell asleep soundly.

April [-], the day of the imperial examination.

It was still dark outside, so Qin Guan went to the palace by car. This time, he didn't need to prepare a large bag or a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as long as he arrived.

The carriage walked to the gate of the palace, just as the first ray of sunlight was shining on the earth.In the morning sun, the golden glazed tile roof of the palace with double eaves looks extraordinarily brilliant.

At this time, many people were already standing in front of the palace gate, just as Qin Guan got out of the car, someone shouted: "Brother Shaoyou, this way."

Qin Guan looked around and found that it was an acquaintance he knew, "Brother Xingwen, Brother Lin Yuan, Brother Zhu Peng." Qin Guan stepped forward enthusiastically.

Zhu Peng squeezed out a smile, cupped his hands at Qin Guan, and said, "I'll go over there and have a chat with Brother Zhou Fu", and left after saying that.

At this time, the surrounding crowd also looked at Qin Guan. Many people saw Qin Guan for the first time, and they were very curious about this guy who dared to directly expose Mr. Zeng.

Some people also looked at Qin Guan with gloating eyes. Qin Guan was the first in the test, and now that he offended Mr. Zeng, it would definitely affect the ranking of the palace test, and the others would have the opportunity to strive for better results.

What does the ranking represent? It represents the future official career. Jinshi and rank have the opportunity to enter the Imperial Academy, become a close minister of the emperor, get promoted quickly, and even become a prime minister.And it is impossible for a fellow Jinshi to become a prime minister in his entire life.

Qin Guan was pulled down, which naturally gave them a greater chance.

Qin Guan walked in front of Shen Yichen and Lin Yuan, and he found that the others had obviously distanced themselves from them. Qin Guan could guess the reason, because he had obviously been isolated because he didn't go to visit his teacher to offend Zeng Yu.

Qin Guan said to Shen Yichen and Lin Yuan with a smile: "Aren't the two brothers afraid of being resented by some people for going too far with me?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "My father is not on good terms with Mr. Zeng."

Shen Yichen said, "The future is still very long."

The four prime ministers of the imperial court are Prime Minister Zeng Yu, Deputy Prime Ministers Shen Zheng, Yan Chi and Yang Wanhe.Zeng Yu is in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and has the greatest power.Shen Zheng is in charge of the military department and the household department, and his strength is also very strong.Yan Chi is in charge of the Criminal Department.Yang Wanhe is in charge of the Ministry of Industry.

And these four can be said to be divided into several camps, Zeng Yu and Yan Chi are friends, they are relatives of sons and daughters, Shen Zheng and Yang Wanhe can be said to share the same ideas and get closer.But if it is said that Yan Chi is attached to Zeng Yu, it is not true, it can only be said that they all listen to the emperor.

The time has come, the gate of the palace is wide open, and an official from the Ministry of Rituals led 76 current Gongsheng students into the majestic palace wall after the roll call.

Along the way, there were many guards from the imperial army. Qin Guan and others were first led to a house, where everyone had to change their clothes and put on the so-called palace trial clothes.

This set of clothes is somewhat similar to official robes, but it is very different. Officials are purple robes, red robes and green robes, but theirs are white robes, which means that they have not yet received a rank, and there is no jade belt. The hat is just an ordinary round A top hat, not an official hat with wings on either side.

Changing clothes has two functions. The first is that the tribute students are already preparatory officials and can change their clothes. If today goes well, they may be able to rank. At that time, these tribute students can wear this kind of preparatory court clothes to meet the audience.

The second is that changing clothes can prevent cheating and entrainment. It used to be a body search, but now that they are all officials, it is not easy to do that kind of degrading thing, so they changed it to changing clothes.

The more important point is to prevent people from bringing sharp knives into the palace. If someone really brought a sharp knives to assassinate the emperor, it would be a big deal.

After changing their clothes, they were led by the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the Daqing Hall. The Daqing Hall is the main hall of the imperial palace, also known as the Golden Hall.

"Xuanjin sees you at the Kegongsheng Golden Palace."

The hall declared peace loudly.

76 candidates were led into the Golden Hall, surrounded by adults in purple robes and red robes, who were also curiously examining this year's tribute students.Among them, the one who stood at the head of all the officials was Prime Minister Zeng Yu.

When Zeng Yu saw Qin Guan standing in front of Gongsheng, his eyes narrowed unconsciously, and then disappeared, turning into a half-open and half-closed leisurely state.

But many adults in the hall were carefully scrutinizing the young man who dared to directly offend Zeng Yu who stood in the first place among candidates.

The people in Zeng Yu's faction remembered Qin Guan, so whenever they had a chance in the future, they would naturally do everything possible to trample him down.

The people in Shen Zheng's group remembered Qin Guan, because this little guy was naturally on their side, and he would naturally protect him when he saw him in the future.

People who don't belong to any faction also remember Qin Guan, because such a young man is worth remembering.

Candidates salute, but they are not kneeling, but bowing down to pay respects to the current emperor.

A majestic baritone voice sounded in the hall, "Let's all be flat."

After Qin Guan straightened up, he raised his head curiously and looked up. He saw a fat middle-aged man in his 40s sitting on the throne in the middle of the high platform. Candidates below.
