"Are you ready, Aze?" The virtuous king stood beside Xu Tianze, watching Xu Tianze tidy up his appearance in front of the bronze mirror.
Today is the day when the imperial examination is officially held. Not only Xu Tianze, but even the virtuous king has repeatedly confirmed that there is nothing wrong with him.
But when he was about to leave the house, the wise king was still a little worried. If someone else came to cause trouble, they would be in a mess today.
If they fail to handle the situation properly in front of so many students, they will really lose face, not to mention that they already have a reputation among the students.
"As the saying goes, when an enemy comes, we meet him with our generals; when a flood comes, we block it with earth. It doesn't matter what happens. We just have to adapt to the situation when the time comes." After Xu Tianze confirmed that there was no problem, he looked up and smiled at the wise king.
The wise king knew that he was feeling uneasy. In recent days, he had not even slept as well as usual. You can imagine how anxious he was.
"Ajiang, don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Xu Tianze hugged the wise king in order to give him enough sense of security.
They have done what they should do. No matter how much they take precautions, it will be useless. It is better to do their best and leave the rest to fate. When the time comes, they will face it together. There will definitely be a way to deal with it.
The wise king also knew that he was overly worried, so he nodded and walked towards the gate of the mansion with Xu Tianze.
I think Long Musi and his companions are already on the way. On a day like today, if they are kept waiting for too long, something unexpected may happen.
After entering from one side of the Imperial Examination Hall, the group turned around and walked to the main gate of the Imperial Examination Hall. Long Muse and others had already been waiting at the main gate.
"Oh, everyone is dressed very formally today. If I hadn't come closer, I really wouldn't have recognized you." Xu Tianze raised his eyebrows and was the first to greet people.
The one on the right wore a dark purple round-necked robe with a gold black leather belt and a gold-inlaid jade pendant from Hetian; the one on the left wore a dark blue long collar, a white silver sash around his waist, and two mute silver bells wrapped around a blue and white jade pendant.
The three of them are young talents, each with his own strengths. Now standing together, it is refreshing. Xu Tianze's eyes light up, as if he has met the three of them for the first time.
"Xiao Ze is always good at making fun of people. Didn't you and the virtuous king also change into new clothes?" Song Yu couldn't help but laugh when Xu Tianze praised him like this.
If Ozawa wants to see it, he should often change into new clothes and show them off in front of Ozawa. It would be good to get more attention, which would help him snatch the girl away later.
"Brother Xu, you are dressed very nicely. You can tell at first glance that you come from a scholarly family." The prince complimented with a smile.
After all, Xu Tianze and he were half close friends, and he hadn't exposed his disguise until now. He could still say a few meaningless compliments.
"Of course it is. It looks nice, right? This is what Ajiang picked for me." Xu Tianze showed off shamelessly, and walked around while showing off.
Today he was wearing a green long gown with a green warm jade ring tied around his waist. Compared with his usual attire, he looked less shrewd and more bookish and fresh.
"Okay, it's time for us to open the door. Are you all ready?" Long Musi was originally happy because of Xu Tianze's compliment, but when he heard that Xu Tianze's clothes were matched by the virtuous king, he interrupted the conversation.
He said that Aze's style was too different from before, and it turned out that Aze didn't like it in the first place, and it was really an eyesore.
"Of course we're ready. Let's open the door." Xu Tianze smiled and walked in front of everyone and looked at the still closed door.
This was the standing position that everyone had arranged earlier, with Xu Tianze standing in the middle, followed by the Crown Prince and the Wise King on both sides, Song Yu on the far left, and Long Musi on the far right.
Xu Tianze started at the very beginning and announced the official start of the imperial examination.
"Open the door~"
"Squeak~"
As the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened, Xu Tianze and others saw the students who had already gathered outside the gate, and the students also saw Xu Tianze and others.
"Everyone, you have studied hard today, and you will be honored in your hometown by getting your name on the list of successful candidates." Xu Tianze spoke loudly with a smile, attracting everyone's attention.
The students were noisy at the beginning, but now you can hear a pin drop, but the hope and enthusiasm in their eyes are growing stronger and stronger.
"But we must also understand that the Five Relationships and the Six Arts are all talents, and their fame will last forever."
After finishing speaking, Xu Tianze saw many students in the crowd bowing their heads in deep thought, and nodded with satisfaction: "Then, now, the imperial examination officially begins!"
After Xu Tianze finished speaking, he and the King of Virtue split into two sides and asked many soldiers to maintain order so that the students could enter in an orderly manner.
The prince and Long Muse stood aside, watching the students enter in an orderly manner. One of them looked through the crowd at Xu Tianze, who was looking at the students with a smile on his face.
What they saw on Xu Tianze's face was an extremely pure smile without any calculation or disguise, a smile that he had never shown when facing them.
They didn't even understand why Xu Tianze valued students so much. Although they also valued them, it was mostly because they valued them as people who could be used.
However, Xu Tianze did not seem to have much selfish motives. It was obvious that the people were about to die, and what would happen to them in the end had nothing to do with him. However, he was still willing to do these things that were not very pleasing at all.
"Third brother, do you know why Brother Xu did this?" The prince threw the question to Long Musi. No matter what, Long Musi and Xu Tianze had been inseparable for a period of time.
He always understood Xu Tianze's true thoughts and wishes better than he did.
"Maybe it's because the Xu family brought him up so well. Even though he hates the Xu family's schemes against him, he is still influenced by the Xu family's righteousness in his bones." Long Musi looked at Xu Tianze who was smiling happily across the crowd.
It had been a long time since he had seen such a sincere smile from Aze. Perhaps to be more precise, ever since there was a rift between him and Aze, Aze had never been sincere to him again.
"Oh? That's interesting." The prince nodded, agreeing with his third brother's words.
What a person has learned for more than ten years may fade away, but what is engraved in the bones will affect the person all the time, even if the person does not notice it, it will be revealed inadvertently.
As for the Xu family, ever since he heard his father's words and plans late at night a few days ago, he realized what a righteous family this was and what a scheming family it was.
It is both admiration and fear. Admiration is the Xu family's love for the people and loyalty to the royal family, while fear is the Xu family's calculations.
