Although Li Suya's family background is superior, she has never seen the dishes in the palace. She thought they were extravagant, but when the dishes came out, she was a little surprised. How could they be made in the imperial dining room in the palace? !It is estimated that even the most ordinary small restaurant in her hometown makes more exquisite dishes than the ones in front of her.A dish of stir-fried vegetables looks half-baked, and a dish of stir-fried tofu, the tofu has a sour taste!The rice was also hard as hell.

Some candidates became dissatisfied when they saw such dishes. After all, they are also candidates for the palace examination. After all, this is the palace. Why is the food so unbearable? Originally, they were the children of some wealthy and official families. Let them eat these things, but It's a little difficult for them.Even some short-tempered examinees thought that the eunuch in charge was deliberately making things difficult, and went up to reason, saying that such dishes were unbearable.But the eunuch in charge also said that these are the dishes, whether you like them or not.Seeing those candidates continue to make trouble, Li Suya shook her head, picked up a bowl of rice and ate it. After several hours of continuous exams, she was already a little dizzy. If she didn't replenish her strength, she would definitely suffer in the last exam. Although the rice was a little hard to swallow, she didn't feel that it was too bad. When she was eating, she found that the young man who was talking to her before also picked up a vegetable and ate it without saying a word. When he saw Li Suya in the When looking at him, his eyes blinked meaningfully.

"Your Majesty, how many of these candidates have you taken a fancy to?" asked a middle-aged woman in a phoenix robe, she is the current queen.The emperor put down a stack of test papers and said, "There are not many who dare to tell the truth. As in the past, there are a lot of flattery." The queen smiled faintly, walked up to him, picked up some test papers and looked at them for a while, and said, " That’s right, isn’t the current trend like this, like flattery, those candidates also know in their hearts that they are afraid that telling the truth will cause trouble, so they simply follow suit and brag, but this one is a little different.” The queen picked up a copy The test paper, hand it to the emperor.After the emperor read it, he groaned and said, "It was written by a little boy. His answers are indeed different from those of other examinees, but his writing is too abrupt. Is my world really as dark as he said?" "Your Majesty, This is your fault, you want to tell the truth, but also nice to hear, where in the world can there be such a good thing, I think this candidate is not bad, at least dare to tell the truth, didn't you say, this court No one dares to tell the truth, why now..." The emperor froze for a moment, laughed, took the queen's hand and said, "The queen's lesson is that I was wrong, I read some test papers, For the five people left, I will personally interview them in the last round, and the champion selected this time is our daughter’s husband-in-law, so we can’t be careless.” Hearing what her husband said, the queen’s expression was on the contrary. A little worried, "But your majesty, you know that child Yu'er has such a bad temper, I'm afraid she won't accept such an arrangement, in case she is pushed into a hurry..." After hearing this, the emperor's expression immediately turned pale. Pulled it down, "This time I will definitely not accommodate her again; oh! She is such a big girl, and she is not married yet. If outsiders don't know about it, they think there is something wrong. Besides, I have already given in to the matter of marriage. It’s been a lot, this time I definitely won’t rely on her, and don’t get too used to her, you see what she looks like now.” Seeing the emperor’s displeasure, the queen didn’t say much, but said, “Then I’ll try to persuade her again. Persuade her, I hope she can understand our painstaking efforts as parents." The daughter mentioned by the emperor is Yu Wuhen, the princess of Fenglin in the dynasty. None, the emperor liked it very much, so he named it Yu Wuhen.Speaking of which, this little princess is different from the children of ordinary princes and lords. She doesn't like to read sage books to be a female celebrity, but likes what boys do!What riding and hunting, traveling around the mountains and rivers, and also likes to make friends with some weird people in the rivers and lakes. He has a bad temper, beats people at every turn, and is very aggressive towards his servants. This annoys the emperor, but he is naturally savage and cute Princess Fenglin is not afraid of her own emperor Lao Tzu, and she looks extremely sweet, her small mouth is too sweet to die for, every time she gets into trouble, she pouts her small mouth, the emperor will be in trouble!This time the emperor managed to trick her back to the capital, saying that he wanted to give her a surprise, but he didn't know that if this savage little princess knew that she was coming back this time to choose a husband, she didn't know what trouble would happen .

The last and most critical part of the palace examination, the emperor himself took part in the battle this time, and there was no written test, but the emperor personally asked some questions for them to answer.This time there are only five people left, that is to say, both the No. 40 pick and No. [-] pick will be produced together.Li Suya was at the last in line, and the young man was at the front. Time flew by, and the people whose names were called all looked very nervous when they got up. It's a lot easier, and it looks like it's leaving a good impression on the emperor.At last it was her turn, led by the eunuchs to the emperor's study, Li Suya saw calligraphy of famous masters hanging everywhere in the study, as for the desk where the emperor sat, those study rooms were also rare treasures.The emperor was looking down at something at this time, Li Suya knelt there for a long time before the emperor asked her to stand up and answer. "You wrote this article?" Li Suya took a test paper, and the handwriting on it was exactly what she had left before. "Exactly." Li Suya replied.The emperor said, "Although your idea is fantastic, but it is a bit deviant, tell me, why did you come up with such an answer?" Li Suya replied, "That's because something like this happened in our hometown. , and not once or twice, so I thought of a way myself. Although the money for raising money is drawn from the land, it is not considered a waste of money, but if this happens, the local county magistrates will inevitably extort the people. The tax stipulated by the court, they If the money is increased several times, if the money here is not handed over to the imperial court, it will lead to frequent occurrence of major corruption cases in the local area, and more complaints from the people." The emperor nodded and said, "At this time, the emperor also approved a lot, but it's nothing. It’s easy to handle, so I thought of a way to raise money.” Li Suya continued, “The salary of local officials is insufficient, which is also true. A county official’s annual salary is less than [-] taels of silver, but the money they have in their hands is less than [-] taels a year. As many as one million taels, it's hard for them to leave and it's quite dangerous, so the villain thinks that they should simply withdraw the maintenance money." "Withdrawal?" The emperor was a little surprised when he heard that. "The money for raising integrity was set up by the first emperor. The purpose is to make local officials abide by the law. How can you just withdraw it! You make sense." Li Suya said, "As the name suggests, the money for raising integrity is issued to maintain the integrity of officials, that is, In addition to the salary, there will be another reward, as far as I know, since the implementation of this trip, it has been somewhat effective, but major corruption cases have occurred from time to time, and the maintenance of honesty is not honest, so it is simply not given." The emperor looked at Li Suya's eyes at this time He was also a little curious, and he said, "The reason why the first emperor set up the money to support honesty was because the officials' salaries were too low and their public and private expenses were not enough, so why should they be officials?" Li Suya said without any hesitation, "Your Majesty, since you are an official , you have to think about the court and the people, why bother about the amount of money, then don’t you become a businessman.” The emperor sighed and said, “This is a big thing, you said it very well, but the implementation It's hard to say, but fortunately only you and I know what you said today, if you say it in person, I'm afraid your life will be in danger." After the emperor finished speaking, he stood up with a smile and walked to Li Suya to look at her. Su Ya was looked down by the emperor's eyes. "Seeing that you are young, but you have such ideas and ambitions. I have also read your written test before, and they are all good. They are much better than those sour scholars. Already?"

I didn't expect the emperor to ask me this, but I couldn't help but answer the question. Li Suya lowered her head and returned, "Your Majesty, I'm still not married in the next [-] years." "Well, the age is also suitable." Talking to herself, Li Suya didn't understand what the emperor said, and she didn't dare to ask the emperor. In the end, the emperor asked Li Suya to go back first, and asked her to wait for news in three days.After coming out of the palace, Li Suya breathed a long sigh of relief, saying that the inside of the palace is very majestic. Know how the people in it live.Just as Li Suya was about to go back to the inn, someone patted her on the shoulder, and when she turned her head, it was the young man. "Brother, you finally came out, tell me, what is the emperor's impression of you?" Li Suya said, "I can't guess that, the emperor's palace is very deep, so I don't dare to ask more, by the way, what about you?" The young son said, "I don't know either. The emperor asked me to go back and wait for news, but I don't care. Even if I can't be a Beijing official, I can still be a fifth-rank official in various states and counties." It's okay to be idle, since the palace test is over, she will relax in the capital. The young man said that he often travels in the capital and is very familiar with it, so he volunteered to take Li Suya to some interesting places in the capital for a stroll. Fan.

Due to the popularity of Chu Binger's side, her spell has expired. After waiting for a long time, it was almost dark, and the little boy with a bad face didn't come back.
