Jinluan Hall.
Ten new students stood unanimously in the hall, flanked by Manchu civil and military forces.
Feng Qingbai stood at the head of the hundreds of civil and military officials, and on the dragon chair was a new emperor who was dressed in a dragon robe. Although he was young, he was already a new emperor.
The palace exam was given by Feng Qingbai.
What made the students of the Great Hall doubled was not because the test questions were too difficult, but because of the aura and oppression from the Nanling King.
He just stood there quietly, dressed in a dark purple embroidered four-claw dragon pattern official gown, cold and precious, and his gestures were an aura that made people dare not look directly at him.
The thin lips were lightly opened, and when reading the test questions, people felt oppressive.
There is only one question in the palace exam.
Just look at the students’ on-the-spot reaction and look at the collection of what they have learned on weekdays.
The students should answer one by one first, and after they have completed the test questions, the officials will give their opinions.
After a fierce debate, the whole hall was filled with silence.
The students stood there nervously waiting for the result.
Whether the carp can leap over the dragon gate and soar into the sky depends on whose name the new emperor says.
With a cry.
It fell.
"Those who can stand in this hall for the palace examination are all outstanding among the thousands of students in the Nanling Kingdom. All of them possess knowledgeable talents. Regardless of the ranking, with your knowledge, as long as your heart is on the right path, you will be sure in the future. I can be the pillar of my Nanling country. This is not your end, but the starting point. I have high hopes for you here. I hope that the community will be stable and the country will be stable in the future, with your help."
As the new emperor, Feng Mohan gave some encouragement before he pointed out the top scholar Tanhua.
Only then did he hand over the imperial edict he had prepared to the eunuch.
Amidst the tension of the students and the wait and see of hundreds of officials, the eunuch's shrill voice sounded throughout the hall.
"Today's hall exams gave me a glimpse of the talents of Nanling students. All of them are talented and Boren, and I am very relieved. Among them, Liu Zhixia, a student from Yunzhou, has extensive knowledge, quick thinking, and brilliant talents. He is a well-deserved champion. It’s well deserved to be selected as the champion."
"Weizhou students show Bolun, have a good argument, and are talented, and they should be the second place."
"Lu Xuan, a student from Yuzhou, is talented and enterprising. He points out to explore flowers."
As soon as the imperial decree came out, the hall was in an uproar. Congratulations immediately.
Standing at the head of the students, Liu Zhixia quietly closed her eyes, and then opened them after a while.
The turbulent emotions were suppressed by him at this moment, and he controlled his emotions freely.
After ten years of hard work, he never regarded himself very high, and never underestimated himself, so he was neither surprised nor surprised by the name of the champion.
As Feng Mohan said, this is not the end, but just the beginning. It is his first step into the official career and into the whirlpool.
By then, this will not be able to survive on paper, but at that time, it will be true ability.
People around him kept coming up to say congratulations. Liu Zhixia responded one by one, neither humble nor overbearing, and with a certain degree of advancement and retreat. Many officials looked at it and nodded secretly.
After the palace test, the emperor will bring hundreds of officials and students to the imperial garden, and the monarchs and ministers will appreciate it together.
As the spring flowers bloom and the ice and snow melt, all kinds of precious flowers in the imperial garden have bloomed one after another.
The scenery is beautiful.
In the column of students, Liu Zhixia was surrounded by other students walking and talking.
The column of Baiguans, headed by Feng Mohan, followed closely by Feng Qingyan and the left side, followed by Baiguans, was a mighty and spectacular team.
"I haven't congratulated King Nanling yet, and I have added a clerk to his hand. The future can be expected."
"The Zuoxiang is joking. Compared with the talents of your staff, this king is ashamed. There are really not many people who can use it."
"The prince is young. When you reach the age of your true form, you will naturally be in another situation, without envy. You have to walk step by step in order to walk steadily. The same is true of the true form."
"As for the experience of the left, this king is taught. He must walk safely, so as not to accidentally fall and stumble."
There was a verbal confrontation between the two, and the hundred officials behind them were slightly heard, and no one dared to talk to each other. The battle between the two giants has been a long time, no matter which side they are on, it will not be revealed at this time. Too much to come.
Early birds always die too fast.
When they arrived at Deyu Garden, the two giants separated, surrounded by their vassals. There was no more talk at the time, and no eye contact was made.
Zuoxiang stood in the crowd and looked at the group of students.
Liu Zhixia is not the most conspicuous, but his temperament and calm and introverted attitude are much better than other students, and he feels outstanding.
If it develops over time, it will be of great use.
The relationship between Liu Zhixia and the Nanling King, who does not know about the Manchu civil and military affairs
When he was studying at the Imperial College, he lived in Nanling Palace.
Originally, he had already made up his mind to suppress it for today's palace test, and not let him get ahead.
It's a pity that the situation is beyond control, and the reality is too bright. I can't find a reason to suppress it.
In this game, he lost Feng Qingbai.
Only in the future can we find a way to suppress Feng Qingbai's forces.
Thinking that way, the left side's eyes are still heavy.
Feng Qingbai is too difficult to deal with, and there are always unexpected moves.
If in the past, the struggle between the two could still maintain a balance, it would become more and more difficult in the end.
He has already begun to feel powerless now.
First, the Liu family, who had been acting as a treasury, frequently had troubles.
Following Mrs. Liu, who has always acted safely, she doesn’t know which tendon she has made the mistake. She is always irritated with no reason, and her methods are getting more and more mediocre. , It is unusable for major events.
On Qin Xiao's side, he spent more time and energy on the barracks. Although they belonged to the same faction, they had very little contact with each other, and it was rare to see him showing his face.
The entire court is almost equivalent to the fact that Princess Liu belongs to the entire faction, and he is the only one facing the upper hand, Qingbai.
It became more and more difficult to support it alone.
Feng Mohan is also beginning to grow at a very fast rate.
When Feng Mohan officially takes over government affairs, things will hardly have any room for change.
This made Zuo Xiang's heart anxious.
The more anxious and restless the room here, the more stable Feng Qingbai acts, and the less panic.
In the court game, it is the means to fight, it is the scheming city.
The weaker side will be defeated.
Where is it now
When the emperor brought hundreds of officials and students to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden, the news of the selected champions, the second-place winners, and the flower-searching had already spread out of the palace gate, and an uproar over the capital was instantly set off, announcing the world’s imperial rankings, and they were also posted at the same time. The wall at the gate of the city.
The bright yellow imperial list has the names of the scholars written in thick ink. The first row is the five characters written by Hei Mo—the champion Liu Zhixia.
