I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 418 Going to the Palace Examination

On the eighth day of March, the 30th year of Chongwen, the day of the Bingxu Ke Palace Examination.

Song Mu had made preparations early on. In fact, in the guild hall of Jiangnan West Road, all the tributes had also made preparations, some of them even stayed up all night.

The imperial examination is the last sprint of the imperial examination era of the Wen Dynasty, and it is also the pinnacle of the entire imperial examination. After crossing this threshold, the dream of guiding the world at the beginning is right in front of you.

The so-called no one asked under the ten-year window, became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

For every scholar, this will be an exciting leap of identity and class, and that kind of experience is more vivid than the test.

Song Mu had already put on his tribute uniform, bid farewell to Tao Fengming in a hurry, and went downstairs to the guild hall with a simple examination basket.

The students in the entire guild hall have come out to see them off at this moment. At the entrance of the guild hall, more than a dozen students are wearing red and black tribute uniforms, and they are also bowing to each other at this moment.

Seeing Song Mu's arrival, the atmosphere in the guild hall became even more heated, and immediately there was a student upstairs who spoke.

"My lords, you must come back with a good ranking!"

"Yes, win glory for my Jiangnanxi Dao, and promote my Jiangnanxi Dao's style of writing!"

"Song Huiyuan, we are waiting for you to dominate the world!"

A group of students shouted and shouted, each of them looked excited, and the tributes also looked at each other, and bowed their hands towards everyone.

"I will live up to your expectations!"

Everyone said in such a deep voice, and at the moment, under the leadership of Song Mu, they walked outside one after another. The carriage prepared by the guild hall had been waiting for a long time.

At this moment, the sky was not yet bright, it was about early morning, but all the tributes had to rush to the imperial city.

The palace examination will be at Si o'clock in the morning and will end at You o'clock in the evening, so the time is a little tight.

Song Mu and the others are sitting in the car with their eyes closed and resting their minds, all faces are extremely serious, and they are somewhat nervous about the upcoming palace examination.

After all, he was about to see the legendary palace examination scene, the majestic emperor, and the star that countless scholars were eager to see.

What I can see today may be remembered for a lifetime.

The carriage rolled and stopped slowly after a while of shaking. Song Mu and others all opened their eyes at the same time.

There was the sound of armor colliding outside the carriage, and then a thick sound was heard.

"Everyone, please get out of the carriage and wait where you are."

Everyone got up one after another, walked outside at this moment, got out of the carriage, the cold wind was blowing, the sky was still dark, and standing in front of them was a row of soldiers with lanterns, there were still people on the long street at this moment. Many carriages came and stopped, and many students in tribute uniforms got off the carriages and waited.

Song Mu exhaled and was blown away by the cold wind. At this moment, he looked up and saw a very tall city wall looming in the darkness in front of him.

I think I am at the root of the imperial city at this time.

This Chang'an imperial city still continues the palace of the Tang Dynasty, with many repairs and few expansions, but because of the existence of the stars, it is even more majestic.

Many students are lining up at the gate of the city at this moment, standing in the cold wind, carrying the test basket, not speaking, just looking around, listening to the officials of the Gongyuan explain the etiquette norms after entering the palace.

Many people looked up at the city wall in front of them at this moment, feeling very shocked in their hearts, wondering what kind of scene it should be.

The lieutenant holding the lantern didn't talk to the crowd. After everyone got out of the carriage, he went up to roll call with the officials of the Nagong Court. After confirming the number of people present, the scene fell into silence.

There is silence all around, only the cold wind blowing by in the early morning.

In the imperial city at this moment, His Majesty may have already gone to court, and when the state affairs are over, it will be the time to witness the grand palace examination.

Song Mu and the others waited outside for a long time, the sky had already begun to brighten, and voices finally sounded in the imperial city. Song Mu could only hear one of the voices reaching the ears of Song Mu and the others.

"Chuan Xinke Gongshi, enter the Tianxing Palace in the imperial city, and take the palace examination!"

As the sound spread, the surrounding tributes raised their heads one after another, and the lieutenant also moved immediately, shouting at everyone.

"Gentlemen, enter the imperial city, silence your voice, and walk slowly!"

After finishing speaking, the vermilion gate of the imperial city was slowly pushed open by several people. A group of soldiers stood by the gate, and the officials of the Tribute Court were also waiting in front. Everyone raised their heads, but at this moment they all looked at Song Mu.

Entering the imperial city, Wu Jingkui walked in front, and Song Mu, as the leader of this test, naturally led everyone into the imperial city first.

Song Mu also looked up at the open door in front of him. At the end of the dark door, it seemed that he could see the appearance of the building inside. The sky exposed in the distance was already a bit dark blue.

This day has finally arrived.

Song Mu let out a deep breath, straightened his back at this moment, and walked forward.

The surrounding tributes followed suit one after another, and more than 400 newly promoted tributes were now marching towards the imperial city in a neat queue.

The Imperial Forest Army cleared the way around, Song Mu and others obeyed the rules, walking straight in it at the moment, at a slow and steady pace.

Passing through the plaza paved with green bricks and stepping over the steps made of carved railings and jade, Song Mu and the others arrived at the side of the imperial city.

Song Mu looked up, in front of him was a wide avenue in the palace, and at the end of the avenue was a majestic palace.

Rather than talking about a palace, it is better to say that it is a tall cylindrical tower-shaped building. It is a little abrupt in the imperial city, and it looks extremely tall. When anyone sees it, they can't help but let out a sigh.

That is the Heavenly Star Palace, and in it, there is the star that fell from the sky.

There were also soldiers guarding the front. Song Mu crossed this avenue and saw a circular square in front of him. He saw many people in red robes standing in the square.

These people are all officials of the Wen Dynasty, and they are also standing in the cold wind with their hands behind their backs, but they are all looking at Song Mu and others.

They were all waiting for the arrival of Song Mu and others.

This made Song Mu and the others even more restrained. After all, every official among them was a literati at the same level as Jinshi and above.

Song Mu also looked sideways slightly, and many of them looked calm and seemed to be superior in strength.

Every literati standing here is the mainstay of the operation of the Wen dynasty.

Song Mu and the others lowered their heads and walked slowly towards the main hall following the guidance ahead, and the magnificent gate of the Tianxing Hall appeared in front of them.

Everyone stepped into it, and the surroundings seemed to brighten up in an instant.

And there are no candles lit here, the white light that illuminates the surroundings comes from the very center of the hall.

In the center of the hall supported by countless columns, on the stone platform built with thick rocks, a wide stone with three or five people hugging each other is quietly suspended on it.

The stone is rough in appearance, broken in an oval shape, and the surface is obviously falling apart, but it maintains its balance strangely.

A fiery white light surged out of it, and everyone felt that the literary power in their bodies suddenly surged.
