The first in the Holy Before?
When these four words were spoken, everyone present looked surprised and suspicious.
The so-called "Shengqian Huiyuan" means that the candidate has been designated as Huiyuan by the emperor before the examination papers are reviewed and the results are announced.
Such an incident has never happened before in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Lu Taiyuan couldn't help but lean his head closer. He knew what Mu Yunxiu's attitude towards Song Chi was. His Royal Highness Prince Qing was extremely arrogant and looked down upon most people. If it weren't for his advice, he would never have lowered his status to come here.
But now he said such words, it must be because he was upset by what Song Chi wrote in his essay.
wrong.
Even if he likes it very much, he can't say anything casually. The champion in the imperial examination is appointed by His Majesty. Can he be sure that His Majesty will appoint Song Chi as the champion?
Lu Taiyuan poked his head out to take a few glances and became fascinated by it.
Upon hearing this, Song Shiwen was also surprised. He knew that His Royal Highness Prince Qing was a mean person, and that Song Chi's essay must be very good to be able to say such words.
Could it be that this kid has written another shocking article?
While he was stunned, Lu Taiyuan exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness Prince Qing is right. With this essay, Song Chi will surely become the first place winner in the imperial examination."
He looked at Song Chi with a calm expression and admired him in his heart.
I still underestimated Song Chi's talent. What's more amazing is that he is not just a nerd who only knows how to read, he can also figure out the emperor's intentions.
"Let me take a look."
Song Shiwen was very curious and snatched the article from Lu Taiyuan's hand and read it word by word. Soon he was completely attracted by the content of the article.
It is recommended that everyone prepare for war!
This policy proposal is undoubtedly bold, but after reading the whole article, one feels that this is how it should be.
Born in adversity, die in comfort.
The article also cited the example of the Northern Wei's invasion of the Great Zhou two years ago. If a son dares to attack his father, other countries will follow suit if he is not punished.
The core of the policy is to prepare the whole nation for war.
This will inspire the people's enterprising spirit, and we must always have a sense of crisis, and use this as an opportunity to make the Great Zhou regain its vitality and become strong again.
This is the best reason to recruit soldiers and collect food, and it is also the policy article that Your Majesty wants most.
His Royal Highness Prince Qing is right.
Your Majesty will be extremely happy when you see this article.
"Your Highness, please take a look."
Song Shiwen handed the article to Mu Yunyin.
After a while, Mu Yunxiu asked, "Brother Huang, what do you think of this article?"
Mu Yunyin looked at Song Chi and said in surprise, "I never thought there really are geniuses in this world."
This sentence is also a disguised recognition of Song Chi's talent.
From this article, we can see that Song Chi was not just a nerd who could only write the Four Books and the Five Classics. He also understood current affairs and knew the emperor's intentions.
Many court officials did not see this point, and even if they did, they could not write it down.
This boy is truly talented!
At this moment, a sentence came to everyone's mind.
Song Chi watched this scene silently like a bystander, and he succeeded.
"I will take this article to the palace to see my father!" Mu Yunxiu's tone did not allow for refusal.
Song Shiwen gave the prince a wink.
The article has been published and it is difficult to stop it now. Moreover, this is what they need. They must ensure that this war can proceed smoothly. Therefore, this article becomes important.
Mu Yunyin understood and said directly, "I will go with you."
This policy paper will surely please the emperor.
Then the person who discovered it also deserves credit.
At this moment, the Crown Prince and Prince Qing both saw Song Chi's value.
The two of them brought Song Chi's essays into the palace.
At the hour of You, the first round of the imperial examination ended.
Many candidates walked out of the examination hall in order, and most of them had lost expressions on their faces. The imperial examination could not be passed by just learning book knowledge, nor could it be passed by rote memorization.
The two-part test paper on the third day will stump most candidates.
It is precisely because the imperial examination is difficult that children from farming families have the opportunity to turn their lives around.
Outside the Taichang Temple, the candidates' families came to pick them up for the exam.
The most eye-catching one among them was Lin Tianjiao. She was wearing a tight purple long skirt today, which highlighted her good figure. She stood there prettyly, her beautiful eyes turning to look for Song Ming's figure.
People around me are very envious.
Although Song Ming is the son of the Prime Minister, he has a bad reputation in the capital city. He is a playboy. It is said that he pursued Luo Yurou, the daughter of Duke Anguo, and forced her to run away from home, which made Duke Anguo angry in the court.
Even so, no one has heard Lin Tianjiao express any dissatisfaction. She appeared here to break the rumors.
If nothing unexpected happens, the champion will be decided between Song Chi and Song Ming. People who don't know the inside story are more optimistic about Song Ming. The reason is simple: the son of the Prime Minister should be the champion.
Everyone was talking about it when another woman came over. She was wearing a pink dress, with slightly messy hair hanging down beside her classical and exquisite oval face, a high nose and flawless cheeks.
This age is the most beautiful and pure, making people unable to take their eyes off it.
Many people recognized her as soon as she appeared.
"It turned out to be Luo Yurou, the daughter of Duke Anguo."
"What is she doing here? Is she picking someone up too?"
"You may not know this yet, but Miss Luo has a very good relationship with Song Chi. She should be here to pick up Song Chi."
"I see. Song Chi is truly blessed."
"We are so lucky that two of the Four Beauties of the Capital have appeared today. Do you usually see them?"
People around were talking about it.
Luo Yurou and Lin Tianjiao stood on their own sides, not talking to each other. After waiting for a while, Song Ming came out of the Taichang Temple first. Lin Tianjiao trotted over and asked with a smile, "How did you do on the exam? Did you get first place?"
"No problem."
Song Ming looked confident.
This time he invited several great scholars to answer the questions and spent a lot of effort to memorize them.
If he can't get the first place in the open-book exam, he might as well hide in a crack in the ground.
"I heard that the Crown Prince and Prince Qing came to inspect the examination hall during the exam. Did they go to see you?"
Song Ming was slightly startled, then shook his head and said, "The Crown Prince came here to suppress Song Chi, so it's naturally inconvenient for him to see me."
"I see."
Lin Tianjiao nodded in response and said with a smile, "I have already booked a place to celebrate for you."
She was about to support Song Ming's arm, and when she raised her arm, her clothes moved slightly, revealing a piece of white flowers on her chest. Lin Tianjiao had an excellent figure, the kind that looked slim but plump.
But Song Ming turned a blind eye and stared at Luo Yurou with a gloomy look.
This bitch.
He knew that Luo Yurou was waiting for Song Chi to come out.
As soon as the thought came to her mind, Song Chi came out. Luo Yurou's face, which had always been calm, began to show ripples. She raised her arms and waved vigorously.
"I'm here. I'm here."
She shouted loudly, not caring at all about the strange looks from others.
Song Chi walked over, and Luo Yurou stood on tiptoe to compare their heights. "I haven't seen you for a few months. You've grown a lot taller."
"I'm still growing."
Sixteen or seventeen years old is indeed a time for growth, and Song Chi has grown taller than when he left Ji County.
"Didn't we agree to find me when you came to the capital? Why are you still waiting for me to find you?"
Song Chi was stunned, then smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Duke Anguo will cause trouble for me."
