Chapter 36 Participating in the Imperial Examination
New Year's Eve is over, and the fourth year of Changhe comes.

On the day of the courtyard test in early March, Shen Jingyuan got up from the bed early, she stretched her head to look at the sky and felt bad, she quickly put on her outer clothes, turned around, grabbed the blessings on the table and rushed out.

Hongye Luluo exclaimed and chased after her: "Miss! Be careful."

Li Shang wore a plain robe today, and now he looks more and more handsome, his black eyes are slightly curved, as if filled with broken light, which makes people stunned.

The six sons beside him held the test box and said, "My lord, if you don't leave, it will be too late."

The young man was not in a hurry, he just turned his head and looked at the depths of the main corridor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, as if he was sure of something, he said: "Wait a little longer."

After saying that, I saw the girl from the back of the mansion running with her skirt up, the maid behind her chasing her for a long way, the young man stood quietly at the door of the mansion with the corners of her mouth raised, and the six sons looked at Li Shang beside him and started to giggle.

Shen Jingyuan stopped at the gate of the mansion out of breath, and she handed the strange-shaped thing in her hand to Li Shang: "I made a wish for blessings with my own hands, you take it, as a good omen!"

"it is good."

"Time is running out, let's go!"

Li Shang squeezed the blessing in his hand and nodded, took a deep look at Shen Jingyuan, turned around and got into the carriage.

Lu Luo said: "Sixth son, you are very strong, you must protect Mr. Li!"

The six sons turned their heads when they heard the sound, and blushed suddenly when they saw the little girl in green clothes. He patted his head cautiously: "Okay!"

Hongye and Shen Jingyuan, who were older sisters, looked at each other at the same time, and there was laughter after the surprise.

At that time, the six sons on the other side had already boarded the carriage and left the mansion. Seeing the reversed scenery outside the carriage window, he knelt down under Li Shang and bowed his head and said, "Master, since Miss Jin turned thirteen, this year there are 26 Madame has come to visit Madam Qin."

Zhao Jinjin has reached the age of negotiating marriage, and the threshold of the prime minister's residence is almost broken.

In the carriage, Li Shang's eyes sank when he heard these words, and his momentum changed instantly. The ink eyes that had been gentle like water a moment ago now showed a sharp cold light: "Don't worry, I will definitely win this imperial examination."

Only when he has power and glory can he be worthy of her and protect her.

Winning the Toad Palace is not his ultimate goal, his wish has been quietly changed in countless days and nights.

Zhao Jinjin, you must wait for me.

The college examinations in the past dynasties were held uniformly by the magistrate, and the children's exams were held at the same time. Because of the special situation in Kyoto, all major exams were held in the Gongyuan, and many people went there early in the morning.

Li Shang has no family background behind him and should have taken the exam from the lowest county exam, but because he won the head of the academy last year, he made an exception to take the exam by leapfrogging.

There are tens of thousands of students in the world, and it was not easy to get a child student in ancient times, but even so, there were countless people who came to take the college exam. When Li Shang got out of the car, he saw a crowd of scholars outside the Gong Yuan carrying their exam boxes. Or wait outside with a servant.

The six sons secretly sighed and lined up with Li Shang.

At this time, the door of the Gongyuan opened with a creak, and the candidates around them all cheered up, looking at the people who came out with bright eyes.

The chief examiner every year is Prime Minister Zhao Yong, who usually doesn't show up easily, only the left and right deputy examiners are diligent.

Liu Yunxiao put out the official uniform and patted the dust. His fat body made the clothes bloated. At this moment, he looked at the crowd with a squinted smile and said, "This year, I and Mr. Ning will be the left and right deputy examiners to assist the prime minister in supervising the imperial examinations." Four exams, everyone has been waiting here for a long time, you will have the opportunity to show your ambitions when you enter the Gongyuan after a body search, it will depend on everyone's good luck whether you will be successful or not."

He suddenly shouted out of nowhere: "Please!"

Master Ning, who was taken aback, looked at Liu Yunxiao strangely: "Master Liu, you have always disliked poor children, but today is a little different."

Liu Yunxiao glanced at him: "You care about me? A stinky dog ​​under Zhao Yong."

Master Ning shook his beard in anger: "You!"

Liu Yunxiao looked at the students who were being checked one after another and snorted coldly: "Master Tang still has something to look for, you can just watch here slowly."

Master Ning clenched his fists and watched Liu Yunxiao leave: "It's an insult to gentleness!"

Prime Minister's Mansion.

The three of Zhao Jinjin were listening to the class in the elementary school, and He Lianjing was practicing calligraphy. Yun Zhaohua looked at Shen Jingyuan in a daze and sneered, "Li Shang lost his soul as soon as he left? Why? Are you afraid that he will fail the imperial examination?"

Shen Jingyuan regained consciousness and looked at Yun Zhaohua with some helplessness: "Yun Zhaohua, you still can't change your mouth after so long, what are you losing? Li Shang, as my friend, is going to take such an important exam to remember Next, ask He Lianjing, will he think about it?"

He Lianjing stopped writing after hearing the sound: "I don't know how Brother Li did in the exam, but his hard work and talent should not be surprising."

Yun Zhaohua sneered: "That's not necessarily true. At the age of 16, I can't bear to yearn for power. It's not something to settle down."

Shen Jingyuan frowned displeased for the first time: "Then can you sink down?"

The eyes of the two met, and the hostility was obvious. Mr. Shu coughed twice and said, "Okay, okay, don't make any noise in class. The old man naturally knows what level Li Shang is. It's just a college exam, and it's easy to be in the top three on the list."

Shen Jingyuan naturally believed in Li Shang, but for some reason recently, the blood redness between Li Shang's brows inexplicably intensified again, and even became more ferocious. She felt uneasy in her heart, and always felt that many things would happen this year.

She was not the only one who was concerned about Li Shang's participation in the scientific examination. At that time, Zhao Yong looked at the snow-melted scenery outside the courtyard and meditated.

Zhao Yong looked out of the courtyard wall worriedly: "After the courtyard examination, Li Shangcai really appeared in front of people, hasn't he appeared... hasn't he appeared?"

Royal Palace.

Hearing the news from Chuanxinwei, Yunmin put down the memorial in his hand and said quietly: "Keep an eye on them, and if anyone lets the old thief arrange someone to be on a list that shouldn't be on the list, then let's come and see him."

March spring is coming.

For some reason, there is always a smell of mountain rain coming, Yun Min lowered his head and looked at the memorial in his hand and frowned: "After the snow melted in the south, it rained continuously for ten days, and several major cities were flooded. Now the plague is rampant?"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Fortunately, there are well-known doctors in the people to control the plague, and the number of deaths and injuries from the plague is not many."

Yun Min nodded and smiled, threw the memorial in his hand, and leaned back on the dragon chair: "Oh, it's just in time for you to come, Tang Juhai, an old thief, is in a hurry, so give him something to do, pass the order Make Tang Juhai the imperial envoy and immediately go to the south for disaster relief, let him not get involved in the imperial examination."

"My first batch of confidants and loyal ministers cannot be ruined because of him."

"As ordered!"
