Chapter 244: Imperial Examination (5)
Chapter 244 Imperial Examination (5)
Hearing this, the two stood up together, and Mr. Ye asked, "Where are you now?"
The guard replied respectfully, "It's already outside."
The two nodded and hurried outside.
At the eastern suburbs, outside the fence
Zi Yiwei cleared the way, a not-so-luxurious carriage was walking in the middle, followed by a group of guards with knives.
The guards standing outside the fence naturally knew who was coming when they saw such a big battle. Among other things, it was the purple-clothed guard who cleared the way ahead. There was only one person in the entire Beirong Kingdom who could be protected by the purple-clothed guards. , that is His Majesty above tens of millions of Beirong Kingdom.
The purple-clothed guards came to the fence and dispersed automatically, making way for the carriage to drive.
The carriage drove past the purple-clothed guards, and slowly came to a gate at the fence. At this time, the tables, chairs and inspectors were long gone.
Lieutenant Liu who was accompanying him dismounted, lifted the veil outside the carriage, and a goose-yellow figure came out from inside.
Junli today is not wearing Nao Shizi's dragon robe, but a simple and light casual clothes, which are not only comfortable to wear, but also look better than the dragon robe.
As soon as Junli appeared, the guards standing outside the fence knelt down and said respectfully, "See Your Majesty!" The momentum was so loud that even the people inside the fence could hear it.
The scholars inside quickly exploded, talking about the real face of the emperor everywhere, Bai Hengliuyuan, who was sitting together, looked at each other, and they all saw expectations in each other's eyes.
Sitting under a tree, Han Ye's thoughts were far away, and he didn't hear anything outside at all.
A person who was also sitting under a tree looked out, with a trace of evil in his eyes, and a little bloodthirsty, and a cool arc curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Silence! Silence!" Several inspectors with obviously higher status stood up and said loudly.
The scholars below fell silent for an instant. Seeing the serious look on the inspector's face, they all lowered their heads, but they couldn't help but look towards the entrance from the corner of their eyes.
"What's so interesting! When you become officials in the court, you will naturally see His Majesty's beauty every day!" A supervisor saw the direction the scholars were looking at, his face darkened, and he sternly said.
Hearing this, the scholars didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, they hurriedly lowered their heads, and carefully recalled the contents of the books they had read during this period of time.
Han Ye came back to his senses, lowered his head casually, with a look of deep thought in his eyes.
She had a hunch that this year's exam questions would definitely not be easy!
Outside the fence, Jun Li raised his hand, "Get up, everyone, you have worked hard, the emperor has someone prepare bamboo leaf tea and chilled mung bean soup for you, if you don't mind, you can drink a bowl each."
Hearing this, the guards' eyes flashed with emotion, and they knelt down towards Junli again, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing this, the corners of Jun Li's lips pursed slightly. Although she did this with half sincerity, it was also half selfish.
Talking to soldiers is the same as treating common people. If you treat them well, they will support you. If you treat them badly, no one will help you in times of crisis.
Junli is well versed in the way of being a king. In fact, it is just like the modern way of imperial servants. As long as you win the hearts of your subordinates, they will be loyal to you and obey you. Sometimes winning their hearts is actually a small care, a hush to ask for warmth, a timely gift...
"There's no need to be too polite, get up quickly." As he said that, Jun Li personally helped the head guard in front of him, and asked Eunuch Yu to pour a cup of bamboo leaf tea and hand it to the head guard.
The chief guard was moved, took the large teacup, and drank the tea inside.
Eunuch Yu hurriedly took the teacup, and handed over a bowl of iced mung bean soup. The head guard hurriedly took it, seeing the cold breath coming out of the bowl, he felt extremely comfortable.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The chief guard bowed his hands to Junli, with genuine respect in his eyes.
Seeing this, Jun Li knew that she had succeeded.
Winted at Eunuch Yu, Eunuch Yu understood, and asked a pair of attendants to take down all the bamboo leaf tea and mung bean soup from the carriages behind, and pour them one by one for the guards.
After all the guards received a cup of bamboo leaf tea and a bowl of mung bean soup, they were all moved to tears.
They say they are guards, but they are actually slaves. Which slave can be treated like this by the master? What's more, this master is not an ordinary person, but their emperor, the emperor of the entire Beirong Kingdom! Such a lofty and unattainable figure would actually come to care about these little guards, which made all the guards feel a little unreal.
After drawing the guards over, the purple-clothed guard cleared the way in front, followed by a group of attendants, walking towards the inside.
Lu met Lord Ye and Sima Lian, and after saluting, they took Junli to the examination room.
The purple-clothed guards in front, Junli thought about it, let them stay here, it's better not to go with her, otherwise those scholars are a bunch of weak writers, seeing so many purple-clothed guards still trembling with fear .
Led by Master Ye and Sima Lian, followed by Eunuch Yu, several attendants, and several purple-clothed guards, they walked towards the place where the scholars were.
Far away, Eunuch Yu beside him said loudly, "Your Majesty is here—"
After the words fell, the scholars quickly knelt down, lowered their heads one by one, looked at the ground, and said, "See Your Majesty!"
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a piece of goose-yellow clothes drifting past his eyes, and the scholars couldn't help but hold their breath, with a look of nervousness on their faces.
Come to the chair at the highest position, and the attendants at the side quickly hang a veil around it, and let Jun Li sit inside.
"Pingshen!" Eunuch Yu stepped forward and said loudly.
The scholars stood up slowly, but none of them dared to sit down, and they all looked at Junli from the corners of their eyes.
Seeing Junli surrounded by gauze, the scholars were a little disappointed, but they heard Mr. Yu said, "Sit down."
Hearing this, the scholars looked at each other and sat down slowly.
"The number of people taking the scientific examination this year is dozens of times higher than in previous years. Your Majesty hopes that the number of people who pass the test will also be dozens of times higher than in previous years. I also hope that everyone present will not disappoint His Majesty, let alone disappoint His Majesty's expectations of you. "
Eunuch Yu was talking about the scene, but the scholars below nodded solemnly one by one, clenched their fists, and their eyes were full of confidence.
Seeing this, Eunuch Yu was very satisfied, and came to Qingsha, waiting for Junli's order.
"Let's get started." Jun Li said this to Lord Ye, Sima Lian, and the inspectors.
Master Ye and Sima Lian nodded, and asked more than two hundred inspectors to distribute the topics to the scholars.
It took about three sticks of incense, and after all the scholars got their questions, Eunuch Yu stood up and said loudly, "The scientific examination, start!"
