Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

Outside the Mansion of the Minister of Rites.

Several scholars who participated in the palace examination came to visit the Minister of Rites together.

As one of the six ministers, the Minister of Rites was in charge of the imperial examinations and was the confidant of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Although these scholars are not very old, they still understand the most basic human feelings...

The scholars who came here included poor students from other places, as well as the children of officials and officials in Chang'an...

At this moment, these scholars gathered outside the Shangshu Mansion and talked with each other.

All the scholars on the field passed the provincial examination and stood out from the countless scholars.

Even if you fail to pass the palace exam in the end, you can still get a half-official position, and the future will not be too bad.

Among the crowd, in addition to Wang Mu, there was also a poor scholar named Chen He.

Seeing that Chen He was worried, Wang Mu stepped forward to talk to him.

Brother Chen, why do you worry about something?

Wang Mu walked over to Chen He and asked.

As a scholar of the poor family, Wang Mu was relatively close to Chen He.

Although, among the other scholars, no one looked down on Wang Mu, but everyone's life level was different, no matter how kind he was, Wang Mu still felt out of place...

Brother Wang.

When Chen He saw Wang Mu, he quickly replied.

What worries me is that we have studied hard for more than ten years in the cold window, and finally stood here. It's just that we can't make the decision about our final future...

Chen He sighed softly.

Brother Chen, what do you mean?

Wang Mu clearly heard something in Chen He's words.

Since it's Brother Wang asking, I won't turn a corner.

When Chen He said this, he lowered his voice and continued: Brother Wang, look at that person.

Chen He pointed to a scholar not far away: His uncle is a third-rank official of the court, and he has a high position above the court...

And he...

Chen He pointed to another scholar: His father, the prefect of Chuzhou, has contacts with many officials in Chang'an.

I heard that the Minister of Rites and the Prefect of Chuzhou have quite a personal relationship...

Immediately afterwards, Chen He introduced a few more people.

All of the people introduced by Chen He have a profound background and are far beyond the reach of others.

Wang Mu heard what Chen He said, and finally knew what Chen He was worried about.

Brother Chen, do you think that someone will use other means above the palace exam?

Wang Mu was a little funny.

Chen He heard the words and said sternly: Brother Wang, I have to guard against it...

Wang Mu shook his head slightly and said, Brother Chen, you've been worrying too much.

The imperial examinations were presided over by His Majesty. Today, His Majesty, wise and wise, will definitely give me a fair chance.

Wang Mu is very confident.

If it weren't for the emperor, Wang Mu would have returned to his hometown a long time ago, how could he stand outside the office of the Minister of Rites and chat casually with other scholars who participated in the palace examination?

Chen He looked hesitant: In case...

There is no case.

Wang Mu affirmed: Brother Chen, just put these thoughts in your stomach and prepare for tomorrow's palace exam.

Above the palace exam, only articles and talents are the reliance of my students.

As soon as Wang Mu's words fell, the door of the Minister of Rites opened suddenly.

Several, my lord invites you in.

Wang Mu, the housekeeper of the Minister of Rites, and others,

Welcome to Shangshu Mansion.

In the Shangshu Mansion, several scholars met the Minister of Rites.

I have seen Lord Shangshu. My father is the prefect of Chuzhou. He has explained to me many times that when he comes to Chang'an City, he must visit Lord Shangshu...

One of the scholars said respectfully.

The Minister of Rites heard the words, looked at the scholar, and frowned without leaving a trace.

He knew the prefect of Chuzhou and had a good relationship.

only.

The Minister of Rites knew that what Your Majesty hates most is the practice of favoritism.

Above the court, His Majesty killed an unknown number of officials for this matter, and even personally added a Tang law...

At this moment, if you let His Majesty know that before the palace exam, he had seen the son of an old friend...

The Minister of Rites was suddenly shocked.

However, at this moment, if the other party is driven out of the Shangshu Mansion, it will be even more suspicious...

In desperation, the Minister of Rites could only bite the bullet and chatted a few more words with the scholar...

After a while, the Minister of Rites hurriedly ended the visit on the grounds of being unwell...

...

the next day.

Palace exam begins.

The Emperor of Tang was personally present and presided over the palace examination.

The imperial examinations were held in the palace and in the Chongwen Hall.

Outside the Chongwen Hall, the ten scholars who participated in the hall examination carefully looked around with incomparable awe.

This is the Tang Palace.

This is where the Tang emperor lived.

Sure enough, it's like a palace in the sky...

The ten scholars were extremely excited.

If they hadn't been prepared earlier, they would have lost their way now, deeply convinced by the royal majesty...

at this time.

The eunuch came out of Chongwen Hall, looked at the ten scholars, and said, Come in.

According to the order.

The ten scholars bowed deeply, bowed their heads, and followed the eunuchs to the Chongwen Hall.

Inside the hall, it was resplendent with gold and green, and there were guards holding swords and patrolling back and forth.

The ten scholars knew that the emperor was sitting on the throne of the dragon chair, but no one dared to look up.

The grass people have seen His Majesty...

Like the ten scholars, Wang Mu knelt on the ground and said loudly.

Although the ten scholars were well-known, they were never officials. Facing the emperor, they all called themselves grass people.

After a while, Wang Mu heard an incomparably majestic voice ringing in his ears: Pingshen.

Afterwards, the ten students got up and took their seats in the center of the hall.

Pens, inks, paper and inkstones were prepared in front of the seats for the students to use.

The Minister of Rites bowed to the emperor and said respectfully, Your Majesty, please select the question for the palace exam...

In order to ensure the absolute fairness of the palace exam, no one knows the questions before the palace exam begins.

When the palace exam begins, the emperor will decide the topic on the spot...

Even the emperor, before entering the Chongwen Palace, was not sure what question he would answer.

In this way, the cheating caused by the leak of the title is avoided.

Even the emperor himself doesn't necessarily know the topic. In the world, who can know in advance?

Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair, picked up the wolf pen, and fell into deep thought.

The title of the palace exam was the emperor's method to test the ten scholars.

The emperor needs to use the title to determine which of the scholars are in line with the emperor's heart and which are not in line with...

Thinking of this, Li Si started to write and wrote three words on the paper.

Doomsday!

The moment the Minister of Rites saw this topic, his pupils shrank.

The three characters written by Li Si are exactly 'Jiedu Shi'!

Let's take the title of 'Jiedu Shi'.

Li Si put down the wolf pen and said casually.

According to the order.

The Minister of Rites informed ten candidates of the exam questions.

soon. .

Ten candidates sat upright. After learning the topic, some began to write hard, and some frowned...

Wang Mu didn't pick up the pen for the first time. He looked at the three words Jiedu Shi and fell into deep thinking...
