"That's natural, Mr. Qingxia taught well." Mr. You said, "Our Liudao Quanshan Society and School are also glorious, how glorious."

The last sentence seemed to be a little bit gritted.

Another gentleman sighed, "But Mr. Qingxia is gone."

These words made the surroundings instantly quiet.

Mr. Zhou laughed and said, "We'll leave in advance." He saw everyone nodding, "Xue Qing's art is very good. You can study hard and benefit a lot." After that, he walked away with several gentlemen.

Guo Ziqian reiterated that he would send the article to their residence, and then looked at everyone, saying, "What's wrong with gentlemen? It looks like he's in a bad mood."

A young man said, "I heard that the Ministry of Education wants to invite a new socialist teacher."

Mr. Qingxia was originally in charge in the society, and even if he was not in Chang'an City, he still held this identity, so everyone didn't think it was different. But now that people are dead, there is nothing we can do about it.

"There are many students leaving, and the teachers also left several..."

"If the society continues like this, the adults of the government will invite a famous gentleman to come."

More people said angrily.

Isn't this a good thing? Why don't these gentlemen look very happy? They are jealous of the talented people? No, they are just teaching. The new gentlemen will not affect them and will bring more students. This is a matter that is beneficial to everyone...

"Don't think about it, let's just study hard." Guo Ziqian waved his hand and walked back under the big tree.

Everyone turned around.

"Yes, I'd better read."

"This time Xue Qing will definitely have no problem with the top scorer."

"The Zhizhitang won all ten people this time, it's amazing."

"Is Zhizhitang still accepting people this year?"

Amid the low talk, there was another sound of reciting articles, and the trees in the cottage gradually became quiet.

June 14th is the auspicious day for the imperial examination. Before dawn, more than 300 candidates who passed the exam stood outside the palace gate with their test baskets. This time they were no longer wearing their own clothes, but robes, hats and shoes issued by the Ministry of Rites.

It was early in the summer, and the Minister of Rites looked back. The candidates of all ages were arranged in order according to their rankings and were very shocked in the morning light, especially the young man in the lead, a young talent...

"Please follow me," he said, taking the lead.

Xue Qing followed, and the candidates behind him followed, crossed the palace gate and stepped across the Baiyu Bridge into the imperial city gate.

There are many more imperial guards in the imperial city than before, and they are powerful and tall. They are the search for this palace examination, which is simpler than the search for the imperial examination. They slightly lowered their waists and checked the roasted blue, mainly daggers and weapons. After all, this examination room is the main hall where the emperor is.

The imperial guards' search was very fast, and even relying on their eyes. Everyone's steps almost never stopped. They quickly passed through the imperial city gate. There were rows of palaces and houses in front of them. This was the place of the cabinet and other yamen. Then the palace was forward. At this time, the red lacquer gate was closed.

The Minister of Rites stepped forward and tidyed his clothes. The gate slowly opened with the sound of drums and music. The glorious and majestic palace in front of him seemed to fall from the sky, dazzling in the morning light.

There was a sound of breathing and sobbing sound in front of the gate. The originally neat queue was slightly chaotic, and some candidates were too excited to control themselves. This was not surprising to the scene of the Minister of Rites. Not to mention that he had seen many of them, he also walked over like this back then. After a brief pause, he calmed down the candidates for a moment before stepping forward, passing through the long door opening, and coming to the square in front of the hall.

Standing in front of the hall are all officials led by four auxiliary ministers.

Looking at the candidates walking away, Chen Sheng's gaze fell on Xue Qing, who was in the lead. As he got closer and closer, he could see the young man's pretty face, shining brightly in the morning light. Her steps were calm and her demeanor was no less than that of the Minister of Rites in front.

She stepped onto the white jade steps.

She stood in front of the hall.

She stepped into the hall.

She is back.

Chen Sheng couldn't help but take a deep breath and held the hand hanging down to his side.

He was not the only one who was excited. Someone on both sides raised his sleeves and pressed his eyebrows. The person next to him saw it and asked in a low voice.

"Sir Kang, are you okay?"

Kang Dai sighed lightly and whispered: "I remembered myself..."

The officials next to him laughed, and the officials in front turned around and told them not to speak. The drums and music changed, and the little emperor came in surrounded by eunuchs.

"Long live your Majesty."

The officials worshiped, and the candidates also bowed three times and five times, and then stood up amid the eunuch's flat voice.

This is not the first time that the little emperor has seen so many strangers in the hall. Well, although most of the officials are strangers to him, he was younger by three years and his memory was blurred. He looked at these newcomers who were different from the officials with interest.

The candidates bowed their heads and did not look at the emperor. Wang Lieyang and Chen Sheng said a few common words, and the candidates took their seats in order. Several cases had been arranged in the hall, with all the pens, ink, paper and ink.

Although there are many officials around and the emperor above sits high, the candidates who sit down feel a little calmer. The brave ones quietly look up and see the emperor wearing a dragon robe on the dragon throne, the eunuch in a bunch of flowers, Wang Lieyang and Chen Sheng who talks with his hands down, the Censor Zhongcheng who sits on the chair with a dark face, and the tall and elegant face of Qin Tan Gong.

This is Qin Tan Gong.

He stood solemnly with his hands down, his face soft. If it weren't for the official robe on his body, he would be like a gentle civil servant.

His gaze came over...

Many candidates were busy lowering their gaze, but they were not afraid of him, but they were not used to it, strangers.

The stranger's vision was very soft, and Xue Qing did not avoid it. She tried the pen in front of her and raised her head, and then met her.

This is Qin Tan Gong, this is the most familiar stranger.

He doesn't look very similar to Qin Mei. Although his face is elegant, his aura is heroic and his vision is soft, but soft and powerful.

Xue Qing nodded slightly to him. This is the etiquette in sitting posture.

Duke Qin Tan was not surprised without escaping, his expression remained the same, and he nodded slightly.

"Please make a question."

Wang Lieyang's voice came.

Xue Qing looked at him, and the candidates also raised their heads. The eunuchs rushed over with test papers. As the test papers were issued, the emperor left. Except for the deacons responsible for the palace examination, the other officials retreated and the examination officially began.

Xue Qing took the test paper, spread it on several cases, carefully read it, and meditated on it for a moment to lift the pen.

The morning light moved little by little in the hall, covering more than 300 candidates. There were humming conversations, patrols and walking steps in the hall, and the noises of the candidates moving paper, pens and ink, which made them feel a different kind of quiet.

The palace examination lasted for one day according to the rules, but no candidate would answer for one day. In the afternoon, the last candidate handed in the paper, and the imperial examination in the third year of Jianyuan was over.

Four days later, after the end of the review, Wang Lieyang wrote the gold list with his own hand. The young emperor put the emperor's treasure seal on the help of the eunuch. It was logical that the jade seal should have been locked... but there was no such thing, so he replaced it with the emperor's seal, and everyone was already used to it.

On the morning of June 21st, the candidates gathered in front of the palace gate again, and changed into robes this time. Unlike the last black one, this time they were all in big red robes. They walked into the hall again under the guidance of officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The emperor was promoted to the palace, and all civil and military officials stood at the office. The Jin Cancan list was placed in front of the hall. The Minister of Rites read out the edict. On a certain year, a month and a certain day, the three people in the world were awarded the title of Jinshi, the second was awarded the title of Jinshi, and the third was the title of Jinshi.

And the first place in the first place...

"Xue Qing."

The voice of the high-bright official echoed in the hall.

"Xue Qing comes out of class."

Xue Qing walked out of the candidates, until he was under the dragon chaise and knelt down.

The little emperor looked at the boy curiously, especially compared with the older candidates who were second and third, he thought it looked even more beautiful.

After the three of them bowed, the little emperor did not need eunuchs to remind him and took the initiative to say that he would calm his body.

It was over. Although this was not originally planned, Chen Sheng, who was standing beside him, was relieved, but after all, he had just passed it smoothly. What should he do next? He couldn't help but look outside the hall gate. The parade was arranged later... The light from the corner of his eyes suddenly moved slightly. Is there something wrong?

Thank you to the emperor, two candidates in one and the first two stood up, but the candidate at the front did not move, but raised his hand to bow again.

Yi? Did you remember wrongly? Do you have to bow again? The second-level Tanhua master was a little panicked and hesitated with his legs bent...

"Xue Qing, please exchange the top scholar for the truth about Lin Yue and the murder of Mr. Lin Qingxia." Xue Qing said, leaning over and kowtowed, "Please ask Your Majesty to investigate the real murderer Qin Tan Public Punishment Song Yuan."

ha?

The whole hall was quiet.

With a thud, the second-guess Tanhua knelt down, not because she was willing to do so, but because she was scared.

Qin Tan Gong's eyes fell on the boy again, but this time, the boy bowed his head and did not look at him.

Young man, it turns out that he wants to do this.

Qin Tan Gong smiled.

....

....

Chen Sheng stood there, feeling that the hall seemed noisy and quiet, and looked at Xue Qing kneeling on his face.

It turns out that this is the beginning.

Alas...it's not the end at all!

.....

.....

The door of a room was pushed open, and his footsteps stopped, his voice was slightly breathing, and he could see his eagerness to run.
