Datang Fenghua Road

It wasn't until after his figure was gone that the two little gentlemen suddenly let out a few breaths, one of them patted their chest subconsciously, and said with lingering fear: "I only heard the dean describe the dean from the seniors before, and I didn't know what it was like, but I only knew it when I saw it today. The gestures are all powerful, even the smiling faces are frightening."

The other person did the same, but he looked at Wu Zhao subconsciously, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Do you remember what I told you before the test, that boy is a woman disguised as a man!"

The first little gentleman nodded subconsciously and replied, "Remember, you pointed at her neck and said that a man does not have such white skin, he is obviously a woman..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped talking, her face showed an extremely wonderful color, her mouth widened in astonishment, and she stammered: "Just... just now, the dean hammered her chest..."

The second little gentleman covered his mouth and reprimanded in a low voice: "You don't want to die, you dare to say such things indiscriminately."

The first little gentleman looked terrified and nodded repeatedly while covering his mouth. His eyes were obviously shocked, but this time he didn't dare to look in the direction of Wu Zhao.

The two looked at each other quietly, a thought flashed in their hearts at the same time, and they secretly guessed: "The dean deliberately mentioned this woman, saying that he would give some care, and I don't know if it was because of guilt touching others, or because of love in his heart, If it's out of guilt, it's okay to say, if it's because of love, then..."

That is their mistress!

Be obedient, whether it's because of guilt or because of love, this girl is afraid of taking off after this change!

The two little gentlemen glanced at each other again, and both felt that their hearts were pounding, and no ordinary scholar could be selected into the academy, and a thought flashed through their minds almost at the same time.

"Let's go to please now, and lay down the relationship first..."

Almost at the same time, they seemed to have forgotten Han Yue's instructions. The two walked slowly in the examination room, seemingly supervising everyone's answers, but they were actually approaching Wu Zhao's side all the way.

The purpose of their actions was very concealed, and it took almost a cup of tea to walk to Wu Zhao's side. First, a young gentleman pretended to watch Wu Zhao's answer sheet at will, while the other pretended to frown and worry about the reason why Wu Zhao was in a daze.

Then the two of them spoke at the same time, and said warmly, "This student, is he feeling unwell?"

Wu Zhao was stunned for a while, and then quickly put down the little hand covering her chest. She took a few breaths to calm down, and pretended to be casual: "Mr. Duolao cares, the students are fine."

She grabbed the brush and wanted to write, but her wrist couldn't help shaking. She gritted her teeth and meditated for a long time, but she couldn't write a single word.

The two little gentlemen glanced at each other quietly, and both knew that the other party noticed Wu Zhao's ears and neck. The red color was so dazzling that they suddenly made a firm guess.

"It's so obedient, maybe this girl has known the dean earlier, this may be a first-hand civil meeting deliberately played, Wang Jue found the poor daughter, and then the two sides were brought into the family, so you have to take it seriously, no, you have to take it seriously. , this is very likely to be the little sister in the future, the ninth little princess of King Zhao of the West Palace..."

……

Chapter 748 Someone is eyeing Wu Zhao

After all, Wu Zhao's incident was just a small episode, and Han Yue's entry into this small subject was only a matter of nature. The real major event was always the imperial examination, which was the foundation that could affect the national strength and take-off of Datang.

When the afternoon sun slowly becomes peaceful...

When the last student in the field slowly put down the brush...

The soldiers in charge of collecting the papers solemnly picked up the exam papers one by one, and then the little gentlemen walked to the center of the exam room with serious expressions.

"The imperial examination of the Great Tang Dynasty is now over. Please ring the bell and spread the order upwards!" Two elementary school students in the examination room spoke at the same time, and all the students in the examination room stood up at the same time.

hum, hum!

The crisp bell rang out, three times in a row, melodious and refreshing.

This is not only the case for a certain examination room, but also the examination rooms of the twelve Daos of the Tang Dynasty, the examination rooms of the 360 ​​prefectures of the Datang Dynasty, the examination rooms of [-] counties, and the examination rooms of tens of thousands of towns, all of which are like this!

This method of ringing the bell for the imperial examination was originally created by Han Yue. It was not only a kind of etiquette in the examination field, but also a kind of information dissemination.

Now that the exam is over, the bells begin to ring again in various disciplines, and then pass through to Chang'an.

As mentioned earlier, the speed of sound transmission is very fast, and the sound of bells is transmitted in the way of a baton, and it does have the ability to quickly cross thousands of mountains and rivers.

Even in the farthest county in Datang, it only takes three hours at most.

How long is three hours?

It is equivalent to an hour and a half in ancient times!

One and a half hours, at most the ancients walked twenty miles.An hour and a half, maybe just a few Confucian scholars gathered to make tea.

Han Yue's method of ringing the bell is really good, far stronger than the bird-passing system that Datang is currently adopting.Of course, the transmission of bells can only transmit some simple messages, and cannot explain things clearly like the transmission of letters by birds.

However, it is also a way of delivery after all.

Quick and direct!

When the sound of the bell from the farthest place was transmitted to Chang'an by baton, the champion bell in the palace rang the last three melodious tones. On the top floor of the Tai Chi Hall of the Tang Dynasty Palace, Li Shimin and a group of ministers suddenly burst into cheers .

The ancients paid attention to the fact that landslides and tsunamis did not change their faces, but the emperor and ministers had to rejoice at this moment.

Li Shimin looked at Chang'an with bright eyes, just at this time the sunset had not yet set, and the smoke from the smoke rose from the whole city, just like the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

This was the second time he had expressed such emotion, and it took less than half a day before and after.

The imperial examinations are finally over.

Scholars from various test fields filed out of the test room, some with joy, some with dismay, some with glittering eyes and imagining the future, and some young boys crying bitterly.

Crying is not because of sadness, but because of joy. These little boys obviously did well in the test and had foreseen that they might pass the test.

If the township has passed the test, it is Tongsheng.Although Tongsheng was the lowest-ranking status in the imperial examination, after all, he was already out of the category of civilians.

Many poor men can't help but think of their parents at home, and those who have married think of the poor wives who are struggling to stay in the cold kiln. They seem to have a fierce horse in their hearts that wants to rush out, and then go home to tell the news.

But no matter how excited they were, the students were not in a hurry to leave.

Because the completion of the rural examination is not complete, they still have to wait for the results of the rural examination three days later.Although some people have foreseen that they will be able to pass the test, they are always panicked until the last moment...

Wu Zhao's mood was a little low, and his expression was dazed and hidden in the crowd. Compared with the students around him who kept talking about the imperial examination, the empress, who was famous for later generations, was extremely emotional.

She didn't do well in the test, and finally failed to finish the third question.

Although the two little gentlemen were deliberately trying to please her, they did not dare to help her blatantly. Wu Zhao felt that he was finished, and he would have to wait three years to take the imperial examinations...

It will take three years for the imperial examination to start a new round of selection.For example, in this imperial examination, it took three months from preparation to the township examination, but three months later the government examination began, another three months began the dao examination, and the last three months were the palace examination.

It took a full year from the township test to the final palace test, and the elites of the world were selected for the promotion layer by layer.To start the next imperial examination, it will take at least two years.

Because talents are free, it is impossible to hold imperial examinations every year. Students need to grow up in waves, and they must be given time to study and study.

Therefore, Wu Zhao has to wait at least three years for failing to pass the rural examination in this imperial examination.

She shivered suddenly and panicked in her heart. She will definitely have a hard time in the past three years, because she is not going to bow her head to her two brothers.

The two young gentlemen in the examination field here have important responsibilities. Once the township examination is over, they will start the grading work immediately, and because the identities of the grading tasks are sensitive, they do not dare to continue to seek favor with Wu Zhao after the examination.

In this situation, Wu Zhao was even more panicked.

She stood blankly in the crowd, listening to the students around her discussing the imperial examination, she suddenly felt a cool wind blowing, and her delicate body couldn't help trembling slightly.
