Today is the tribute meeting every seven days of the Song Dynasty.

A group of officials of all sizes rushed to the palace with lights in front of them two hours in advance.

Outside the palace, there is a "waiting yard" for officials waiting to go to court to rest. At the same time, various stalls and vendors also came to sell fragrant porridge and scones, making a lot of money.

When dawn was dawn, Song Shenzong, who was sitting on the throne, listened to the officials of all sizes and asked questions without knowing what they were doing.

"I heard that my first child prodigy in the Song Dynasty studied hard for ten years. This year, he finally participated in the palace examination and won the position of the head of the case in one fell swoop. His poems came out of Mingzhou and made a small difference to the country. Wang Shishou said, are you familiar with the child prodigy, do he have any plans to go further?"

Unexpectedly, Song Shenzong would pay attention to this matter. Wang Anshi, a Hanlin scholar and lecturer, stepped forward to worship in surprise.

He didn't care that he was familiar with Ye Nan at all, and started to squirt.

"Your Majesty, this is a grand dynasty meeting, and all the discussions are all about the country. How can Ye Nan and Tong Sheng be discussed at the grand dynasty meeting? What's more, he wants to participate in this year's interrogation examination. Your Majesty mentioned at the grand dynasty meeting that officials below must respond, either to Your Majesty or to him, it is not a good thing!"

Song Shenzong:

It's too much Wang Anshi! I've finished all the things I should deal with, and chat with the ministers? Do you want to criticize me too?

I don't want to be faced!

"The King's words are wrong!"

Seeing that Song Shenzong looked so handsome that he couldn't get off the stage, Sima Guan was smashed, no, Sima Guang, who smashed the jar, stood up.

"Although Ye Nan was only a child, he was specially named "the No. 1 Prodigy of the Song Dynasty". In time, it is very likely to be named marquis and prime ministers. What's more, he was five years old and had a poem in Mingzhou. If the boy did not have enough literary statements, "Song of Tomorrow" would definitely be the backbone of our Song Dynasty in the future. Such a young man, like auspicious auspiciousness from the sky, why can't he discuss it at the Grand Court meeting?"

After he finished speaking, Song Shenzong cast a complimentary look at Sima Guang: Well, this is comfortable. Sima Guang can speak.

As a result, Wang Anshi really didn't plan to give him any face. Sima Guang's flattery for Song Shenzong aroused the irritable side of his character and cursed Sima Guang on the spot.

"A treacherous minister, I, Wang Jiefu, are ashamed to be with you!"

Wang Anshi's words from great scholars, his literary spirit surged around him and turned into two words, treacherous and slandered, and his seal was on Sima Guang.

Sima Guangqi's beard and stared at him, turning Wenqi into a sharp sword, and cutting these two words into two sections.

You, Wang Anshi, are a great scholar, but he is also a great scholar in historians. Who is afraid of whom?

But the two of them used literary spirits to fight each other in the court, which gave Song Shenzong an excuse to intervene openly.

"presumptuous!"

He slapped the armrests on both sides of the dragon chaise hard, making Wang Anshi and Sima Guang stop immediately, and bowed to Song Shenzong with all the officials.

"Please calm down your anger."

Song Shenzong glared at Wang Anshi with anger, stood up and shook his sleeves, and walked into the palace.

"Retreat!"

...

Ye Nan, who was far away in Jinxi, certainly didn't know what happened in the court.

On the second day after Fang Hu and Lin Hong agreed to go to Bianliang, Fang Zhongyong invited the village chief, Jinxi County Magistrate, Fang Hu and the elderly in the village to pick up the words Ye Nan in full view of everyone.

After passing the Boy Test, you will be a child and you will be qualified to participate in the Interpretation Test. In the Interpretation Test, you must not only write your own name, but also write your hyphen together.

Therefore, Ye Nan, who is about to be sixteen, needs to give the words in advance.

Due to the level of scholars, the crowns worn on their heads are also divided into levels.

Ordinary people and children who have not been baptized by literary talent wear bamboo and wood crowns, scholars and juren wear metal crowns, Jinshi and Hanlin wear jade crowns, great scholars and semi-saints above are casual.

Ye Nan knelt on the ground, Fang Zhongyong slowly put on his bamboo crown.

The material for making bamboo crowns is vernacular bamboo. Although it is not expensive, it is loved by many scholars as a symbol of integrity and is also a kind of crown that children generally wear.

After putting on the crown, Ye Nan's elders could not touch his head casually like before.

Compared with ten years ago, Fang Zhongyong, who had a little white hair on his head, looked down at Ye Nan and sighed.

After this year's provincial examination, his apprentice who has been studying hard for ten years should have made a splash, and he will make a splash; if he doesn't fly, he will make a splash, and he will make a splash!

Thinking of this, he was solemn and sat back on his main seat.

"Nan'er, I see all your hard work in the past ten years. Although the official praised you as the "No. 1 Prodigy of the Song Dynasty", I hope that no matter where you are or who you are, you will never forget your original intention and remember what you have worked hard for the past ten years."

"So, I will take the word for you as Zichu."

"Mr. Zichu Xie gave him his name!"

Ye Nan immediately bowed.

From now on, he is Ye Nan Ye Zichu!

...

Originally, in addition to his uncle's family, Ye Nan also wanted to invite Fang Zhongyong to Bianliang together.

But Fang Zhongyong refused.

He said with a smile.

"I have been in Jinxi for decades and have long been used to every tree and grass here and are unwilling to move. Now, Zichu, you are like a big roc riding the wind and swaying up. Remember to fly back to see me when you have time."

Seeing Fang Zhongyong's determination, Ye Nan did not mention it again.

The test of the test is not like the test of the mansion, it is located next door to Linchuan. He needs to catch up to 300 miles to go to the capital of Jiangnan West Road and Hongdu Prefecture to conduct the test of the test.

During this period, many children went to Hongdu Prefecture to take the exam. The county governments were ordered to clear the beasts and bandits on the road to provide convenience for the imperial examination.

In order to avoid troubles along the way, Ye Nan rode a horse that had traveled thousands of miles a day and arrived at the Hong Mansion in just half a day. His uncle and his family passed the water route and entered Bianliang with Wang Anshi's eldest brother, Wang Anguo.

After entering the city, Ye Nan led the horse and found a decades-old shop recommended by Fang Zhongyong.

As soon as he approached, a waiter came over and nodded.

"Customer, are you eating or staying in a hotel?"

“Stay in a hotel.”

At this time, there were more than two months before the test. Ye Nan calculated that it was early, so there was still room.

At the counter, Ye Nan paid the three months' room payment using the fees given to him by Fang Zhongyong. The shopkeeper knew at a glance that the young man should have been here to participate in the trial and arranged Ye Nan to a quiet room in the corner.

The waiter sent the horse to the stable. Ye Nan ordered stir-fried lamb, stir-fried asparagus, and added a portion of sweet and sour fish.

The waiter originally wanted to say that the restaurant was full of dishes and that two dishes were enough for one person. But he looked at Ye Nan's body shape and turned around and went straight to the kitchen to order dishes.

It was the meal time and the store was soon filled with people.

Ye Nan was eating, and the waiter trotted over with a smile and said.

"This customer is already full in the store. I wonder if I can share a table with the customer?"

Ye Nan looked along the waiter and saw that he was a young man dressed as a scholar and looked in his early twenties.

Seeing Ye Nan's gaze, he smiled and bowed to signal.

So Ye Nan nodded slightly.

"Can"
Chapter completed!
