The imperial palace is the residence of the emperor, gathering wealth and power in the world. The candidates along the way have been continuous palaces, pavilions, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, and gardens, landscapes, attracting people to linger.

When you pass through the square in front of the hall and come to several main halls, the magnificent scene is even more amazing. The pillars are huge and surrounded by several people, making people feel like they are small.

Someone suddenly sighed: It is a forbidden place in the palace, which is completely different from ordinary people."

Qiu Yan looked at the scene along the way, but his focus was on other aspects. He noticed that there were people's wishes hidden everywhere in the palace, which were harmful and bad, and there were honors and resentments. In the depths of the palace, there was even darkness coming out and there was a filthy state.

Compared with Qiu Yan, others are much more cautious, most of them bow their heads and move forward slowly.

In fact, after they passed through the palace gate and entered the palace, every move was included in the assessment. The censor's accompanying record was actually examining their gains and losses in "ritual".

However, etiquette is relative, candidates must abide by it, and the royal court cannot be missed. The sound of rituals and music is coming soon to welcome all living beings.

The imperial examination is an opportunity for scholars to leap at the door, but it is also the imperial court who summons talent to come and assists in governing the country. Of course, it is necessary to show enough respect.

Walking around, the group came to the destination of this trip, Jiying Hall.

This palace occupies a considerable area and one of its main functions is to be used for palace examinations.

When Pang Qianru was entertaining students in the Pang Family Courtyard, she also set up many tables, but when the number of people was too large, she couldn't put them in the lobby at all, so she could only place them in the yard.

But in terms of size, this episode of Ying Hall is even larger than two or three Panfu Villa courtyards. Not only are there more than 300 tables placed, but there are also cushions behind the tables, and there is a lot of space between the tables.

As he walked into the hall, Qiu Yan suddenly narrowed his eyes, and Xingjing's will, which was connected to his consciousness, came a blurry picture. After a change of thought, he learned some profound meanings.

During the palace examination, we must follow the example of the sages teaching in ancient times. At that time, the stools had not been invented and they were all sitting on the ground. This is not a humiliation, nor does it mean that it is better to sit on a chair than to sit on a chair. Instead, looking back and expressing respect for the country, culture, and history.

The reason why people gather and identify with each other is because of this kind of respect, otherwise even if they have the same bloodline, they will be aliens, which is even more sad than being taken over by others.

"Grasp one mind and firm one. Then, you can embrace all rivers and integrate them into one, so that you can pass on it for thousands of years and stand firm."

Qiu Yan came to the hall and saw the table and cushion. The insights from Xingjing's will made him realize the mystery and understand the truth behind the form.

"Walking, sitting and lying down are all knowledge. But only when you are closest to the center of humanity and the source of the dragon vein, you can feel the true meaning so clearly. This opportunity for the palace examination will be taken down and your flesh and blood will fall, and you will still gain something."

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan slowly let go and left behind the idea of ​​future humanitarian exploration. He fully realized the secrets of humanitarianism in the palace.

Compared with him, other candidates were obviously not so relaxed. They all lowered their heads, looked at their noses, and looked at their noses, and did not dare to be distracted at all.

The mood is reflected on the face, bringing out different expressions, and then developing different temperaments.

"That person is Qiu Yan?"

Aside from a beam and pillar, several examiners gathered together to watch the scene in the hall. They were all examiners responsible for the examination of the current subject, including Luo Zhongjie and Hu Yong.

Looking at the many candidates walking into the palace, several examiners swam their eyes and finally stayed on Qiu Yan.

The low table placed in the palace, with its name and origin written on it, and is arranged according to the rankings of the examination list. When the candidates enter the hall, they will be led by the eunuch and come to their own table. Even if they have never met Qiu Yan, they can be recognized here.

After seeing this, the few people immediately noticed the difference between Qiu Yan and others.

"This Qiu Yan is indeed extraordinary, right. How can the person who works in the test paper have no concentration at all? Seeing that he is not nervous at all, he shows a contemplative look and doesn't know what he is thinking. I have asked in the past two days and heard that when Qiu Yan was in Dongdu, he has many deeds, and these days they have been coming one after another."

"Yes, I remember that back then, when I was in the palace examination, I was first impressed by the palace scene, and then walked into the hall. I found that the needle was so quiet that it was enough to be heard. I became nervous again. When I started to make the scroll, I recovered a little, not as calm as him."

"A few of the other candidates looked good."

...

The examiner discussed, but Luo Zhongjie and Hu Yong did not join, and both were considering other things.

The emperor already knew that Qiu Yan was devising the test papers. The day the results were released, which showed that he was paying attention to them. However, he calmed down again in the past two days, which seemed a little strange.

The two of them were interested in inquiring about it, but the people in the palace kept silent about it. Even the person responsible for going out to buy was unwilling to reveal anything, which made the situation look blurred.

Coupled with Wen Zhizhen's fraud and open and secret struggles, Tian Youqing even thought about his mistakes at home, and everything seemed particularly strange, allowing Luo Zhongjie and Hu Yong to taste an unusual taste.

When people were watched, the candidates also responded, and for a moment they all responded.

In this way, all kinds of thoughts slowly stretched.

Bang!

Suddenly, a loud whip sound came from outside the palace, and then Wang Fu walked out of the palace in his official uniform.

When he saw him coming, both the examiner and the candidates kept their expressions and then they all acted automatically and saw them deep in the palace.

After a moment, I saw the chief examiner Wang Fu in front and the same exam in the back. More than 300 candidates were also among the top ranked people, tidying up their clothes and waiting quietly.

On the way to come, a ritual official repeatedly explained the process of the palace examination, so everyone knew that the emperor was coming.

Soon, in the depths of the palace, footsteps sounded, Li Kun walked out, sat on the throne, and several more men came in line, standing in front of the emperor, all wearing official uniforms, with extraordinary momentum, and at first glance they were no ordinary people.

From afar, Qiu Yan saw an acquaintance inside. He was thin, but energetic, with a large skeleton, and was holding up his clothes. He was Ma Yang and Ma Lao Prime Minister.

When Qiu Yan saw Ma Yang and the identities of the other people, he also found out that it was the other magistrates.

The only one who can recognize the priest is Qiu Yan. Many of the candidates are from a strong background. Books are expensive and it is difficult to read. There are many variables in the imperial examination this time, and new methods are mixed in, and there are compromises between the two parties. After all, it is unusual. Less than half of the candidates from ordinary families are on the list.

These people recognized the prime minister and realized that the emperor attached great importance to the palace examination, so they actually asked the central minister to put down the national affairs and come to watch the examination!

As a result, many people are eager to try, wanting to show their knowledge and leave a good impression on the emperor and the minister.

However, there are also those who know some inside stories and see a clue. According to the previous rules and the emperor's favor, Wang Fu should have accompanied the emperor with him, but the current situation is not the case, and the implicit truth is quite intriguing.

The examiner with a sensitive sense of smell has already started to think about it, and even among the candidates, there are some people thinking about it.

In front of You, several prime ministers were also observing the reactions of many candidates.

"Shenzhi, it's really different from before. It's no longer Wu Xia Ameng." Looking at Qiu Yan, Ma Yang nodded slowly, not because of Qiu Yan's argument.

"However, Tian Youqing is taking a gamble this time, and I don't know if Shenzhi can deal with it. If the official family determines that he is related to the Taoist sect, it will be basically impossible to test the third class in the palace. It's too a pity..."

The other prime ministers had different expressions and would pay a little attention to Qiu Yan. They had a political affairs hall, grasped the government affairs, and were well-informed. They had more or less heard some rumors and knew something about Qiu Yan.

Xu Jin looked at Qiu Yan and thought to himself: "Is this person Qiu Yan? He is a very talented person, not as Ran'er said. He just doesn't know if he really has magical powers. However, after all, the final result of the text-based test paper is unexpected."

Zhang Lian looked disgusted: "Qiu Yan is really stingy. I kindly support him, but he didn't expect that he would also do the new law. If Tian Youqing had not been distracted, this imperial examination would have made the new party win a great victory."

Not only the priest, but Li Kun, who was sitting on the imperial bed, also focused his eyes on Qiu Yan, feeling the calm aura on the other party, which became more and more contradictory.

At Li Kun's request, some of the information about Qiu Yan had been summarized. Although Qiu Yan did not deliberately show off his magical powers in his past, he did not deliberately conceal it, so there were many signs that could indicate the matter.

However, this look made Li Kun realize that Qiu Yan was not deeply involved with the Taoist sect, and in a very short period of time, he achieved success in his cultivation in just a few years. This shows that talent is only a certain degree of cultivator practice, which involves luck. Except for those with great perseverance, they rarely tend to be humane. For a moment, Li Kun was both cherishing his talents and not daring to take risks and fell into conflict.

"This palace examination, he cannot be dismissed, but he cannot be promoted. Party B's tail is too big..."

Just when everyone in the hall was thinking differently, the ritual officer shouted: "Hello!"

Suddenly, the examiners and examiners bowed their hands together, and bent down to the emperor's imperial couch during the holidays.

This worship was not the emperor alone. Behind him, there was the luck of the entire Darui Dynasty and the thoughts of all people gathered to become a dragon.

Therefore, this worship is the dragon, and it is the people of the world.

After bent down, the fire of the people in Qiu Yan's soul reacted, and the will of Xingjing was integrated into a little change. The dragon energy that had been cut off from contact for several days appeared again, filling his heart, making him a little dazed.

After the ceremony was finished, the students sat down. A servant brought snow-white paper and placed it on the table one by one.

When the paper is received, the candidates are kneeling down and sitting upright. This is not an insult. The ancients sat on the ground, and there was no distinction between high and inferiority. They are all ordinary seating etiquettes. Here it reflects the meaning of the emperor's politeness and inferiority.

Then, a eunuch in front of the emperor raised his throat and shouted out the questions for the palace examination-

"I have heard that war is a major event for the country, but now there are wars in the northern border..."
