From the end to the other world

Qin Luochuan was stunned for a long time, if he hadn't realized that he was not from this world from soul to body, he would have wondered if he had any blood relationship with that person above.

The emperor's gaze was like a clear lake, calmly sweeping across the ministers and candidates below, Qin Luochuan felt that the other party's eyes seemed to pause a little longer when they passed over him, but he quickly moved away, and said lightly : "Let's loosen the volume."

After the speech, the examinees took their seats one after another, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who had been waiting nearby held the examination papers on a cloud disk and began to distribute the test questions.

The palace examination only examines policy questions, from early morning to evening.

After Qin Luochuan got the exam questions, he couldn't open them directly, but waited for all the candidates to get them, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites announced that they could answer, and then they could start.

In the spring of last year, the four provinces in the southeast had too much rain, and the rivers overflowed... If you are a king, what should you do? If you are a minister, what should you do? If you are a citizen, what should you do.

The test questions were nearly [-] words long, and apart from the most straightforward questions about how to deal with floods, there were also many other issues about government officials.

After reading the mention, Qin Luochuan was unavoidably agitated, so he quickly lowered his head to avoid being noticed.

There is no other reason. When Yang Xi and Wen Shiyan were studying the previous years' policy questions, the three of them guessed what it might be if this time the question was about something that happened in the past three years.

Needless to say, the information that the Wen family could collect, and the floods in the four southeastern provinces were so serious that few people didn't know about it. They had written policy articles on all aspects of this matter at that time.

After the excitement was over, Qin Luochuan calmed down quickly when he was about to write. Everyone knew that if they could pass the exam questions, other candidates could naturally do the same.

The career of a lifetime, in one fell swoop, no one who can make it this far is inferior. If I want to stand out among the 120 seven people, it is not enough to be well-regulated and make no mistakes. I must have a strategy that can make people see and see. Qin Luochuan Thinking of some of the methods of water control and official governance that he saw in the previous world, he had written some before, but he was afraid that others would think he was whimsical, so he never published it.

Now under such circumstances, and thinking that Tianzi is known for his hard work and humility in accepting advice, he decided to try one or two points.

Now that I have made a decision in my heart, I don't hesitate any more when I start writing again, and I can write a few pages in an eloquent manner.

By the time I stopped writing, it was almost time for application.

He ate a lot in the morning, and now Qin Luochuan didn't feel very hungry. Seeing that there was still time, he twisted his neck, moved his cervical spine that was a little stiff from sitting for a long time, and began to transcribe and modify some words and sentence order .

As soon as you time came, everyone stopped writing, officials from the Ministry of Rites closed and sealed the scrolls, and most of the officials in the palace left the palace with the emperor.

Not eating or drinking during the day should be due to hunger and listlessness, but as soon as they left the palace gate, the examinees all rushed towards their carriages at a brisk pace.

Yang Xi looked surprised, "Aren't they hungry, they can run so fast."

Qin Luochuan looked at Yang Xi strangely, and asked back, "Aren't you uncomfortable?"

"It's okay." Yang Xi said stupidly. After finishing speaking, she seemed to think of something, and pulled Qin Luochuan's sleeve and ran straight to her carriage.

Although Qin Luochuan didn't know what he was thinking, after snatching back his sleeve, he ran after him.

It wasn't until after getting into the carriage and Yang Xi ordered the servant to leave quickly that Qin Luochuan asked, "Aren't you holding back?"

"I'm fine," Yang Xi said, "but they must have put a chamber pot in the carriage. If you think about it later, if we are late and surrounded by their carriage, it will be so fuzzy."

Although the weather started to get warmer at the end of April, it didn't evaporate so quickly, and there were two carriage curtains between them. But after knowing what they were doing, it was inevitable that they would feel a little weird.

Although the two said they were not in a hurry, after they got home and got off the carriage, they still rushed straight to the hut.

When her husband came out, Shang Qingyue couldn't help asking: "I had someone put a chamber pot in the carriage, is it useless for my husband?"

Hearing this, Qin Luochuan imagined the scene of him and Yang Xi using the chamber pot in the same carriage, and couldn't help feeling cold, and said, "No need."

After washing his hands and wiping his face, Qin Luochuan helped Shang Qingyue to go to the side hall where the meals were set. Remembering that the carriage he was riding in when he came back was not the one he went to in the morning, he asked, "What happened in the morning made people feel uncomfortable?" Have you checked it out?"

"I checked," Shang Qingyue replied, with a gloomy tone, "I just didn't find any results."

Sensing Fulang's emotional change, Qin Luochuan quickly squeezed his hand to comfort him, "Forget it if you can't find out, maybe someone accidentally fell there."

Having said that, both of them know that the fact is definitely not the case. Since the person who secretly wants to harm Qin Luochuan has already acted, it is impossible to stop after this time. They will pay more attention to it in the future, and they will always catch it. .

After the palace examination, the result really depends on luck, because many times it is not because your level is inferior to others, but also depends on whether your strategy essay can be appreciated by the emperor and the examiners.

After eating and drinking enough, the three of them drank tea and chatted in the side hall. Yang Xi reversed the anxiety after the test before, and said happily: "I always feel that I will definitely be a Jinshi this time. Linfeng, how do you feel?"

Qin Luochuan is certain, but what he wants is not just Jinshi. Men are always ambitious. Now that they have won the Jieyuan and Membership, they will definitely want to win the No. [-] Scholar, the Triple Yuan and the No. [-].

So he pondered for a while and then said: "Jinshi should not be a big problem, but I want to be better."

It was also these candidates during the general examination. He had already won the first place. Unless there is a major mistake in the palace examination, it is almost impossible to fall out of the first place.

The two have known each other for so many years. After hearing what Qin Luochuan said, Yang Xi understood what he was thinking, and said with some hesitation: "If it is similar to the test, you have a high chance of winning the first prize, but among the top three, according to According to what I've heard, the emperor always likes the most handsome one to be the Tanhua."

After Yang Xi finished speaking, he sized Qin Luochuan up and said, "With your appearance and bearing, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to help but choose you as a prostitute."

Qin Luochuan: ...

Hearing what he said, Qin Luochuan suddenly had the illusion that he might be put off by his appearance, and paused before saying: "Brother Wen is not bad, you can do it too."

"Of course I can," Yang Xi raised his chin proudly, "But I'm definitely not as good as you guys."

After a pause, he said again: "But brother Wen is not far behind. Let's see how the emperor chooses."

Hearing the random guesses of the two of them here, Shang Qingyue couldn't help but said: "It's not like there have been examples of the number one scholar being more handsome than Tanhua, I saw it six years ago."

Although what he meant was that he felt that his husband was both handsome and talented, but Qin Luochuan couldn't help but ask, "Is the champion of that year more handsome than your husband?"

Shang Qingyue couldn't laugh or cry, "I was only six years ago."

Speaking of appearance, Yang Xi couldn't help thinking of the shock when he saw that person in the hall today, and couldn't help asking: "Linfeng, are you really not from the capital?"

Qin Luochuan knew what he wanted to ask, and explained: "It's really not, and before my parents died, we lived in the mountains for generations, and we haven't even been to the town."

Because of his accent, when he was in Yuxi Town, Qin Luochuan kept saying that he came out of the mountains in the south. Anyway, he and Qin Yan also lived in the mountains afterwards, so no one suspected him.

Shang Qingyue listened to their unclear questions and answers, and couldn't help wondering: "Is there any question?"

"Brother-in-law, you don't know," Yang Xi immediately came to chat, "When I saw the emperor in the golden palace today, I wondered if I was wrong from a distance. If the emperor was standing in the golden palace, facing the wind It’s my father’s early death again, and I wonder if they are related by blood.”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qin Luochuan said helplessly, "It's fine if you talk about it in front of us, but don't go out and say it, if someone hears it and thinks we're cheating on the royal relationship, then we won't be able to eat together Let's go."

Yang Xi said seriously: "Don't worry, I won't mention it in the future."

They have a good relationship, and Yang Xi knows Qin Luochuan well, so he looks somewhat similar to the emperor, but it's okay to talk about it in private, but I don't know what kind of trouble will happen after someone notices it .

Three days later, the Ceremony of Passing on Lulu will be held in the palace as before.

The 120 seven tributes who participated in the palace examination came to the palace early. A yellow case was set up on the east side of the main hall. There were court musicians playing Shao music on both sides under the eaves of the hall. During the two shifts, Qin Luochuan and all the tributes wore special official uniforms and three-branch nine-leaf crowns, and stood behind all civil and military officials according to their ranking in the examination.

After a series of cumbersome etiquette, the emperor came to the front of the yellow case.

It took another three kneelings and nine kowtows before the ceremony got to the point, but Qin Luochuan felt that in the past few days, he had kneeled more times than the past 24 years combined.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites sang in front: "In April 19, Tianhe launched an examination for the tribute scholars in the world. The first class was awarded Jinshi and rank, the second class was awarded Jinshi's background, and the third class was awarded with Jinshi's background."

The next step is to announce the rankings, which is different from the audition list, this time it starts with the champion. Qin Luochuan couldn't help clenching his hands in his sleeves into fists, and his eyes were tightly locked on the official who announced.

However, the cabinet scholar held the yellow list in his hand, and before he gave it to the officials who read it, he heard the emperor who was sitting behind the case say: "Give it to me."

Although the Huang Bang was read by a different person, it didn't take too long, but Qin Luochuan didn't dare to look at the emperor like he did when he stared at the officials who read it out, and only lowered his head slightly. The voice said: "Yijia No.1 Yuzhou Qin Luochuan."

As the emperor read his name, Qin Luochuan's clenched fists loosened, and his tense body trembled slightly. An official from the Ministry of Etiquette walked up to him and said softly, "Zhuangyuan Lang, please."

Qin Luochuan followed his guidance and walked out of the queue. After walking a few steps, he realized that he was actually on the same arm and foot. After quickly adjusting his pace, he walked to the middle position, and then knelt down.

Then there is No.2, Suzhou Rongsiyuan, and No.3 who will take the exam, Qin Luochuan has only met a few times, and the two are not familiar with each other.

After Rong Siyuan knelt down behind him on the right, for some reason, Qin Luochuan suddenly felt that No. 3 might really be Wen Shiyan, as he and Yang Xi guessed at the beginning.

Facts soon proved that their guess was not wrong.

After the emperor read out the names of the first and third people, he asked someone to give the yellow list to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and asked him to read the following ones.

Except for the three people from Yijia, the rest of the people did not have the people from the Ministry of Rites to lead the line up, so the speed increased.

Qin Luochuan listened carefully to the ranking announced by the officials, and when he reached No.7, he heard Yang Xi's name, and couldn't help but feel happy for his friend, who was actually a few places ahead of the previous test.

After the reading of the yellow list is finished, it will be hung on the east side of the palace gate for three days. Qin Luochuan is the number one scholar. After leading all Jinshi to watch the list, officials from the Ministry of Rites will guide them to change their clothes for the later parade.

They were dressed in bright red wedding clothes, with flower feathers on top, and the three of them looked like handsome young masters. They were not far from the palace gate, and there were many onlookers on both sides of the street, and the number of them continued to increase.

At first, Qin Luochuan thought it was a novelty, but after half an hour, he only felt tired and noisy.

Because in addition to watching, there were girls throwing flowers at the three of them on the road, and the horses were very uncomfortable after riding for a long time.

After finally waiting for the end, Qin Luochuan hurried home, wanting to have a good rest and celebrate with Fu Lang.

As a result, when he got to the door, he saw that although the door was open, the scene of the whole family welcoming him as he expected did not appear.

Qin Luochuan was stunned for a moment, then ran in quickly, grabbed a maid and asked, "Where's the lord?"

The servant girl said excitedly: "Master, you are back, the lord is about to give birth."
