My country, you can pinch it

At dawn on the second day, Liu Ke got up with Shang Jinling. After washing, Xiaotuanzi ordered someone to serve a steaming breakfast, "The number one scholar cake is here. The young master ate the number one scholar cake from the number one scholar building. Keep it safe." High school champion!"

"How many Zhuangyuan cakes have Zhuangyuanlou sold today?" Shang Jinling smiled and was about to pick up a piece, but Xiaotuanzi handed the plate to Liu Ke and said, "No matter how many Zhuangyuanlou sold, there will be no more cakes." No, there is no other place except you have real dragon energy here."

"Really dragon spirit?"

"His Royal Highness is the crown prince, and he also bears the spirit of a dragon. Your Highness, please give a piece to the young master."

"Is there such a thing?" Although Liu Ke felt strange, he passed it to Shang Jinling with his own hands. The latter simply took a bite of his hand, and said innocently, "Is that so?"

Shang Jinling's lips inevitably touched Liu Ke's hand, and the touch was soft and wet, which made him feel as if he had been fed up with the strings of a piano. He twitched a bit, and he looked at the remaining half, and couldn't help but say: "Ling Ling, is it better to eat it after eating it?"

Shang Jinling glanced at him with a half-smile, opened his mouth obediently, and motioned for feeding.

I'm obviously in a good mood today, which is a good sign.

Liu Ke smiled and stuffed half of it in, and finally asked, "Is it delicious?"

Shang Jinling puffed her cheeks, opened her eyes and asked, "Do you want to try it?" That's necessary, the cakes are easy to get crumbs when eating, and seeing the whiteness on the corner of Shang Jinling's mouth, Liu Ke was leaning over when he heard a clear Cough came.

As soon as the two turned their heads, they saw Gao Xueli, Shang Xiyun, and the twins walking in. Everyone had wonderful expressions on their faces, and Shang Xiyun looked at them with admiration, "You're still flirting at this time, Is it still early?"

"After Minglu, it's different. It's more crooked than my sister and brother-in-law. If the second brother-in-law didn't say anything, would he have kissed him?" Shang Xiaowu curled her lips.

Liu Ke was thick-skinned, and said confidently: "This is called Dragon Qi Body Protection."

Two blunt sneers were given to him, if you take advantage, you will take advantage of it, what a fool.

Today was Shangjin's first day in Ling Chunwei, they were the only ones in the Shang family in the capital, so they came here specially to take the exam. In fact, their younger brother shouldn't live in the prince's mansion, but they couldn't do anything about it.

At this time, the housekeeper came in from the outside, and whispered a few words in Liu Ke's ear quickly. The latter nodded to indicate that he understood.

The housekeeper then asked: "Your Highness, roll call has started at the gate of the Gong Yuan, should Mr. Shang start?"

"Let's go in Shang's carriage." Gao Xueli suggested.

After all, the Prince's Mansion is too high-profile, which is not a good thing for Shang Jinling.

Although Liu Ke felt a little regretful, he didn't insist, but before Shang Jinling left, he said, "Brother will go there later."

"Why, do you want to chat with Qin Hai?"

Liu Ke nodded and said, "I can't hide anything from you. I just said that the emperor will send him to proclaim the imperial decree to encourage you candidates in this class to serve the country."

Shang Jinling expressed his understanding, "You can't just win over people's hearts, you can take advantage of everything."

"It's true, so I'm going to pry the corner of his wall."

Shang Jinling bent her lips, "Don't be reluctant to spend money."

"Don't worry, I'll smash him to death with silver."

"Let's go, let's talk, Lingling, you can wait for the next session." The twins pulled him over and pushed him outside.

After hitting the cloud board, the gate of the tribute courtyard was opened, and the officers and soldiers stood on both sides, ordering the examinees to enter through a body search one by one.

Shang Xiyun looked at the back of Shang Jinling who waited in line with the examinees to check his hometown and waited to enter, and couldn't help laughing: "I am afraid that my grandfather never thought that there would be a real scholar in the Shang family who would be able to enter the imperial court as an official with the imperial examination all the way." .”

"Jushi Yushan and Mr. Yun teach together, but you can't get into the first class, and a Jinshi can't escape." Gao Xueli's knowledge has long been unable to teach Shang Jinling.

Just as he was talking, someone came over and seemed to recognize them, and said, "Isn't this Mr. Gao?"

As soon as Gao Xueli turned his head, he saw an old man with gray hair, so he smiled back, "Master Lin, you are here too."

"That's right, this year the grandson of the family is gone, and the old man came to see him off. Why does Mr. Gao also have candidates at home?" Gao Xueli was exiled with his father before he got married, and he seemed to have no children. This Mr. Lin felt a little strange.

"My brother-in-law is quite knowledgeable, I encourage you to give it a try." Gao Xueli said to Shang Xiyun, "This is Mr. Lin, a scholar of the Wenge University." Then he introduced Mr. Lin, "This is Zhuojing, and my grandfather is Duke Xiling .” Shang Xiyun cupped his fists.

As soon as Lord Xiling came out, Lord Lin suddenly realized that he had heard that Gao Xueli had married into the mansion of Xiling, but soon he felt strange. The Shang family were all barbaric warriors. When did a scholar come out and pass the exam? ?

In such doubts, candidates have already entered the arena one by one, the gate of the Gongyuan is about to close, but there are two teams of people at both ends of the street of the Gongyuan.

The prince's mansion was shining brightly, and a group of guards came to support him. It can be seen that the prince was here in person, but at the other end was the imperial army escorting an eunuch in purple men's clothing, holding a shining imperial edict in his hand.

"His Royal Highness is here—"

"The decree arrives—"

Two high-pitched sounds fell, and the two parties met at the gate of the Gongyuan together.

There are quite a few officials who sent their children to take the exam today, so they all saw this scene. Qin Hai, the supervising official, knew each other. The imperial decree in his hand represented the emperor. For some reason, the crown prince who held great power did not say or move anything, but he just saw a trace of confrontation.

Naturally, the door of the Tribute Court could not be closed, the chief examiner and the assistant examiners came out one after another, looked at this side and then at that side, "This..." I didn't know which place to salute first , the atmosphere was suddenly awkward.

Qin Hai rolled his eyes and showed displeasure, and got off the horse. On the other side, Xiao Tuanzi helped Liu Ke get off the carriage. Coincidentally, they also came to the examiner together.

Due to the identity of the other party, Qin Hai finally couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness, the miscellaneous family is here to proclaim the imperial edict."

Liu Ke glanced at the imperial decree, then sneered at the corner of his mouth, "For the orphan?"

Qin Hai twitched his forehead, forced a smile and said: "The emperor attaches great importance to this subject, and he is here to try his best to raise his sons."

"Oh." After Liu Ke finished speaking, he strode into the court, Qin Hai's face suddenly sank, the prince didn't even give the emperor face, but Liu Ke stopped halfway, turned around and said in wonder , "Isn't it the decree? Why doesn't Eunuch Qin come in soon? It's getting late, and the exam is about to start."

The chief examiner, who was already sweating, hurriedly ordered the people around him: "Hurry up and prepare the confession, and receive the order." Then he walked up to Qin Hai with a sneer, "Please, Eunuch Qin."

Qin Hai snorted and walked in.

Once the two parties entered, the gate of the tribute courtyard was slowly closed, blocking all sight.

Suddenly there was a sigh from beside him, and monk Xiyun Gao Xueli couldn't help turning his head to see the worry in the eyes of Master Lin.

The couple glanced at each other, Gao Xueli raised his hand and said, "Master Lin..."

"Lord Gao, you are acquainted with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you still need to be persuaded. Too strong is easy to break, and too proud is also negative. Before reaching the top of the cliff, the sage can cut his way."

This Lin University scholar is just a scholar, he doesn't care about the affairs inside and outside the court, so at the beginning, the two princes formed a clique and each took power.

Of course, the reputation among scholars will not be low if you are a scholar. It is undoubtedly a bit strange for someone who has always been alone to say this to Gao Xueli at this moment, but from another perspective, Liu Ke, the prince, is only a month old. Already won some hearts.

Thinking of this, Gao Xueli said solemnly: "I also ask Mr. Lin for advice."

At this moment, the sky is bright, and since the spring has begun, the people who send the exams should also disperse. The scholar Lin thought for a moment and said: "The cabinet once asked the emperor to choose a concubine for the prince, so that the country can survive with a cotton heir."]

After finishing speaking, he said no more, then nodded, got into the carriage and left, leaving Gao Xueli stunned in place.

The twins listened, and Shang Xiaowu worried: "What does the old man mean? Do you want the prince to get married? What about Lingling?"

Shang Xiaoshuang's face was frosty, "If the prince gets married, I will..." She couldn't say what happened next, she was the prince after all, so she could only say, "Take Ling Ling away! Every other vow is a lie. !"

After the two of them finished speaking, seeing that no one agreed, they couldn't help stamping their feet, and looked at their sister and husband, "Second sister..."

Shang Xiyun was also angry in her heart, but she was calmer after all. Looking at it from another angle, she felt that it was a little strange for Master Lin to mention this matter, "The prince is also in his twenties, and there has been no one around him. It is reasonable for the ministers to play, the emperor Even if I didn't realize it before, it's time to start now, but..."

Gao Xueli shook his head, "There is no news in the court, and it has been suppressed."

Shang Xiyun showed doubts, "It shouldn't be!"

Gao Xueli frowned deeply, with a touch of sadness, looking in the direction of the Gong Yuan, he said: "I always feel that the crown prince is in control, like a castle in the air, and I am actually not very at ease in my heart."

Shang Xiyun nodded: "When Lingling comes out, I have to ask him carefully."

In the tribute courtyard, there was a complete set of incense cases, because Emperor Shun made a fortune, so these candidates, even the examiners, were not busy entering the dormitory, and first knelt in the courtyard to listen to the imperial decree.

Liu Ke stood aside, his eyes swept over the faces of all the candidates, and finally fell on Shang Jinling at the end, feeling a little worried-this year's candidates were not good, and none of them had a good-looking appearance and a temperament that could overwhelm him. His family is Lingling!

As long as Shang Jinling performed normally and did not do splits, once she stood on the Golden Luan Hall, even at the back, she would be able to stand out from the crowd and attract attention.

Although the imperial decree is like the emperor's presence, it is not the real emperor after all. The examinees listened to the words of hard work, although they were excited and the emperor valued them, they also knew that they were all nonsense.On the other hand, His Highness the Crown Prince's gaze was as real as it was, gliding over them carefully, subconsciously making them nervous and straightening their backs involuntarily.

It is obvious to all that the crown prince is diligent in governing, and the implementation of the new policy is smooth. To be honest, although it has only been one month, the new look of the court can be seen from the continuous promulgation of decrees.

The prince is here today, he must want to see if these rising stars are worthy of the big job!

All kinds of thoughts were in their hearts, so that they didn't realize what the imperial decree said, and they didn't realize it until they said "this", oh, it's finally over.

The examiner who was kneeling at the front got up and respectfully accepted the imperial edict. Qin Hai turned to look at Liu Ke who was standing aside with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help but smile and said, "What's your admonition from His Royal Highness? You should hurry up, or you can just hurry up." Delayed the scientific examination."

The imperial decree was full of eloquence, and Qin Hai passed away after a few sticks of incense. Seeing that the sun was high, Liu Ke was too lazy to talk nonsense, and just said: "The officials of the imperial court killed a group at the beginning of the year, exiled a group, and demoted a group of officials. Approved, so there are many vacancies, and the admission of Chunwei in this world is [-]% more than before, so you all work hard, it's over."

Qin Hai: "..."

No matter how colorful the imperial decree is, in front of Liu Ke's blunt and seductive words, there is nothing left but powerless!

Anyone who is looking for a job, um, does not want a higher pass rate, less competition, and hope for a promotion and salary increase?

The eyes of these people were instantly ignited, with longing and madness in their eyes, they must play well and try to jump over the dragon gate!

Shang Jinling listened from behind, pursed his lips, and smiled in his eyes. Liu Ke's ability to catch people's hearts is first-rate. As long as these people are in high school, they must be grateful to His Highness the Crown Prince.

Qin Hai had no expression on his face, "His Royal Highness is very capable, does the Emperor know about this?"

Liu Ke followed him in a strange mood, "Didn't Father Qin know about it when Eunuch Qin went back?"

"The emperor will not be happy if His Royal Highness acts recklessly."

"Ah, Kegu is all for Dashun's selection of talents, I think Father will understand."

The examiner on the side looked at each other, his head was getting big, now that he has heard the imperial decree and the prince's instruction, the examiner hurriedly came up and said: "His Royal Highness, Eunuch Qin, the scientific examination will start immediately, the two of you are preparing... ..." Go out, or stay for a while?

The rest of the words don't need words, you can understand them yourself.

According to the procedure of Chunwei, the deputy examiner, with the official messenger, is sending these candidates into the dormitory according to the number and issuing papers for the questions.

Liu Ke brushed off his sleeves and said, "Chunwei is the most important part of the imperial court's selection of talented people. Since Gu is here, I have to wait and see how these exams are tested. Mr. Qian can go to work on his own."

Qin Hai was actually reluctant to stay, but when he thought of Emperor Shun's order, he smiled slightly, "Miscellaneous families have to inspect the examination room under the emperor's order."

Come on, the two ancestors, the chief examiner sighed heavily in his heart, and resigned to his fate: "You two, why don't you take a rest in the main room, and come to invite after the next official distributes the test papers."

Liu Ke walked in without saying a word, and Qin Hai followed slowly.

After entering the room, their respective eunuchs brought tea, Liu Ke glanced at Xiaotuanzi and said, "It's cold, close the door."

As soon as the door was closed, all the voices quieted down. Qin Hai was feeling a little uneasy when he heard a voice beside him, "Old Qin." Then a hand was placed on his shoulder. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Liu Ke showed an exceptionally kind smile, showing all eight teeth, "Let's have a chat."
