A Hint of Spring

Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading!Don't forget to spread the word.

On the day of the test, the students stepped into the Gongyuan with nervous and excited hearts, and only a very few people came here for a lazy walk.

The Daliang scientific examination is divided into two sessions, one for three days. The content is divided into two subjects: Ming Jing and Jinshi.Ming Jing examines Tie Jing and Mo Yi, and Jinshi examines poems and fus.Everyone has their own examination room, called the number, five feet long, four feet wide, and eight feet high.In order to prevent candidates from cheating, they changed into the clothes provided by the Shanggong Academy before entering, and each person was given two candles.After entering the room, the door is immediately locked, and the candidates answer the questions in the number. The food, pen and ink are brought by the candidates, and they also rest inside at night.

"Brother Xia, the weather is already cold. I am afraid that if I take off my clothes and catch the wind and cold, I will lose hope of passing the exam."

"Zhiqiu, don't worry, I'll take care of it for you!"

After listening to Ye Qiuhan's words, Lu Yan went straight to the prison officer and bowed to him.Ye Qiuhan knew that with him around, everything could be solved, and she didn't have to worry about everything.

"Teacher, the students have something to ask for, can you go over there and ask for advice?"

"Can!"

"Teacher please!"

After listening to Lu Yan's words, the prison officer knew that his God of Wealth was coming, and it was not uncommon for him to open the door of convenience before.Lu Yan saw that the superintendent has a greasy face and a sly face, and he doesn't refuse his request, so it's [-]% corrupt.

"Teacher, student Xia Shan, my virtuous brother Ye Zhiqiu is physically weak, and he is afraid that he will get cold if he takes off his clothes. During the six-day scientific examination, he may be exhausted and miss the examination. I hope the teacher can make it easier!"

Lu Yan said while pouring out the golden beans, this girder with the top beam not straight and the bottom beam crooked, no one would have trouble with money.Naturally, looking at Qian's face, the supervisor gave Ye Qiuhan a little trouble, and of course there was a way for him to get away with it.

Whether the six days are long or not, the tributes are relieved, and there are even those who are crazy about it, which is not rare in ancient and modern times.

"Zhiqiu, how does it feel to have the test?"

"It's not bad, but it takes a lot of work to integrate nature and man into one subject!"

"That's right, with your talent, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"That depends on what the examiner wants!"

It took ten days before the list was released. During this time, Lu Yan went to many places to inquire about his father and Xia Baisu.Ye Qiuhan couldn't help much, so he had no choice but to travel around the city of Zhao alone.

"Are you blind?"

"Obviously you bumped into me, are you still reasonable?"

Ye Qiuhan was bumped into a bit of a mess, if he hadn't settled down and saw two more handsome young men beside him, he would have thought that the opposite was a tough man.

"If you don't go this way, will you run into my son?"

"There are so many roads, why don't you say to take another road? Besides, it doesn't belong to your family!"

Ye Qiuhan was extremely puzzled, so he could meet two unreasonable people, who were even more domineering than his previous life.

"Yes so what, no so what?"

The two "fight" Ye Qiuhan alone, and when they meet such a difficult person, no amount of patience will be exhausted.

"Is that your business? Don't waste my time! Get out of the way!"

After a lot of verbal confrontation, Ye Qiuhan, as a modern pampered woman, couldn't compete with the savage men of the ancient times, so she had no choice but to retreat, and it's always okay to leave! Her ancient "gentleman" image is undoubtedly ruined.

"Princess, do you want to chase after me?"

"Don't chase, don't miss me!"

"Are you really going to that place?"

"It's hard to get out of the palace. I just want to see the legendary Ting Ran. It is said that the royal brothers are all fascinated by her. I want to see what she is capable of!"

"However, if the emperor and queen find out, the servant..."

"The sky is falling, and I will take care of it, what are you afraid of?"

Zhu'er had no choice but to let her go, even if her master had spoken, how dare she disobey? Besides, the master was always fearless, even the inner courtyard of the palace could be disturbed by her.The most important thing is to have the favor of the emperor, and the backstage is so tough, who dares to mess with his master?

"Teacher, this article is really the way of the great way. You can see that the unity of heaven and man is combined with the ten virtues. For the master, the virtues are combined with the heaven and the earth, and the brightness is combined with the sun and the moon. It is called the unity of heaven and man."

"This person is indeed a pillar of talent. I just hope that he can be reused by the emperor and clean up the court! But~ the words in the article are a bit lacklustre, but he can be ranked among the top three."

"Huangge, how is this student?"

"The writing is beautiful, the arguments are profound, and there is no majesty but no lameness."

"Not bad, not bad! The diction is beautiful, take it!"

The chief examiner, Huang Ge, is a loyal minister of three generations. It was very difficult to win the top spot in this selection, because he was extremely worried about the government and the opposition.

"Teacher, neither of these two backgrounds are from Juren, but from recommended places, which is really rare!"

Ten days later, the imperial list was released, and there were only [-] recruits from all the students in the world. Xia Shan and Ye Zhiqiu were on the list, Xia Shan ranked ninth, and Ye Zhiqiu ranked third.In the Great Liang Court Examination, nine of the best candidates were selected to participate in the general examination. The Holy Majesty personally set the questions and decided the top three rankings.However, in recent years, the emperor has become more and more kind, so he handed over this matter to his courtiers.The last time it was the prime minister Wang Chongyi, this time it was his nemesis Huange Lao, so the two competed with each other for the chief officer of the scientific examination, the purpose is to win over talents for their own use.

"Little master, the emperor doesn't allow anyone to visit the prince, even the eldest princess. I'm afraid, it will be very difficult to rescue the prince!"

"This matter needs a long-term plan. If you can gain the emperor's trust and help, you can save my father!"

"What does little master mean?"

"If you can cultivate your own influence, it will be cheaper to do things! Susu, how?"

"Understood, the girl who entered the palace is safe and sound, waiting for arrangements in the Goddess Hall, ten days later, it will be the election period."

Three days later, nine people showed their skills in the Hall of Preserving Harmony. Originally, Huangge selected Su Junqing, Du Yonghe and Ye Zhiqiu as a team.On the way, an emperor appeared, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, nearly half a century old, but dejected, with bruises and bruises on his face, lifeless and indifferent, obviously caused by an overdose of lead and mercury.

"Although the top three have been selected for the Huang Pavilion, I will pose another question today to test your talents! Do you think there is a technique of immortality in the world?"

"Your Majesty, after studying ancient and modern times, there is no such thing as immortality, and the world has failed to find it, so the grass-roots secretly think that there are no gods in the world, and there is no elixir of immortality."

Su Junqing was the first to speak, and after all he was named the number one scholar. However, he is a mere scholar who doesn't listen to anything outside the window.After hearing this, the emperor's face changed greatly, showing displeasure.

Du Yonghe, the second in the list, was angry with his book business, and the angry youths in Daliang didn't see the emperor's wink. They uttered nonsense to persuade the emperor to give up the pursuit of eternal life. Today's people's livelihood is the most important thing in Daliang.The implication is that the emperor ignored the life and death of the people and indulged in the elixir. Isn't this just looking for trouble? The emperor ordered the staff to be punished with a staff of sixty, expunged from his fame, and not allowed to take the exam again.Erjia No.1 sees the wind and turns the rudder, boasting that there is a way to live forever. When the emperor asked, he was stunned and didn't know how to answer.The emperor was even more unhappy, and sentenced him to the crime of deceiving the emperor and put him directly in prison.

"What else do you think?"

The few remaining people looked at each other in blank dismay, seeing what had happened to Du Yonghe and Erjia Chuanlu, who were supposed to be second in the list, they didn't dare to speak again.

"My lord, the first emperor ordered Xu Fu to lead three thousand boys and girls to the sea to seek immortality, and it is said that they have reached the Penglai fairyland. And this way of longevity, in addition to medicine, needs to be combined with medicine to complement each other. Longevity is not impossible. If your majesty's grace is extended to the world, the heavens will grant your majesty more longevity, so the theory of longevity is very likely to exist!"

Lu Yan knew that denial was absolutely not advisable, and there was no basis for his affirmation. Although he firmly believed that there was no such thing as immortality, if he could make indirect remarks, he would still be appreciated by the emperor.After hearing Longyan's explanation, the emperor relaxed everyone's tense hearts.

"You are?"

"Your Majesty, Caomin Xiashan is the number one among the top three, just waiting for His Majesty to give you an official position."
