I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 604 Seeing Old Friends

Feng Xiang asked himself to be the deputy examiner of Chunwei this time. To Song Mu, this news was tantamount to letting a fledgling Tongsheng decide the case.

The Dawen imperial examination is the most important existence, and Chunwei can be said to be a critical stage for human literati to truly achieve.

In previous years, a bachelor was the main examiner, and then the Hanlin was selected from the Ministry of Rites or the Gongyuan as the deputy examiner.

Song Mu met two of these conditions, but the problem is that in the history of the imperial examinations in the Wen Dynasty, there has not been a deputy examiner in his thirties.

This was already the first of its kind, and Song Mu was naturally surprised by it.

Feng Xiangjian then slightly motioned Song Mu to sit down, but this time he just said lightly.

"I know you find it a little unbelievable, but this matter was not planned by the truth alone, but ordered by His Majesty."

"Your Majesty? This..."

Song Mu frowned suddenly, and cast a puzzled look at this moment.

"Well, you should know that this spring is special. Not only are there ten thousand candidates participating, but more importantly, His Royal Highness will also participate."

Feng Xiang said so, looking at Song Mu immediately.

"Your Majesty said that this time, we will do our best to help His Majesty break through."

Song Mu finally felt a little bit stunned.

It turned out that as the deputy examiner, I was making arrangements for His Royal Highness to advance to the realm.

But in the current situation, if you really want to do something for His Highness, it is not so easy.

"My lord, what should my subordinates do then?"

However, Song Mu knew that what he did in the imperial examination room was not as easy as it was in the hall that day.

Thousands of examinees gather around Wenxing Shuwen, which has the momentum of a thousand-sail race, and there are many mysterious scenes in it if you want to reach the realm smoothly.

Vast scenarios can sometimes open a person's mind, and this also ensures relative fairness.

Wenchao Chunwei, even those disciples of the Shizong, will find a way to come and participate.

But in such places, Song Mu was a little confused about what he could do for Li Dong.

Feng Xiang's expression was calm, he looked at Song Mu and said slowly.

"There is really no good way to do this, but if you go as the deputy examiner, even if you can't help His Highness, you can still prevent it."

"You also know that when His Highness was promoted to Juren..."

Song Mu paused slightly, his face drooping slightly, while Feng Xiang got up.

"Jing Zhao, this matter is no small matter. If His Highness can successfully break through and enter the Jinshi realm, you should also know how big the changes will be."

"I have not yet had a son of heaven, who is not in the realm of Jinshi, to rule."

Song Mu suddenly raised his head to look at the other party, but Feng Xiang's face was very calm, but at the moment his eyes were on each other.

Song Mu let out a deep breath, nodded slightly at the moment, and then cupped his hands towards the other party.

"This subordinate understands that this time, Chunwei will be escorted by His Royal Highness."

Only then did Feng Xiang nodded, and continued speaking immediately.

"In the past few days, I will submit the list of examiners. When the time comes, you will get to know each other. Of course, remember that this matter should not be disclosed indiscriminately."

Song Mu nodded, and Feng Xiang asked Song Mu to come out.

Coming out of Nuan Pavilion, Song Mu's face was quite calm, but at the moment, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

What Feng Xiang said just now made Song Mu feel urgent.

Song Mu immediately thought of His Majesty, and now His Majesty is not seen easily, and he himself has not seen him for some time, but he heard that he is always sick.

In this way, maybe...

A thought suddenly popped up in Song Mu's mind, and he threw it out immediately.

It is not Song Muduo's turn to figure out the affairs of the emperor's family. What he has to do now is to help Li Dong break through smoothly.

As long as you have entered the Jinshi realm after Chunwei, even if you are in the same Jinshi realm, it is enough to convince the public.

Thinking like this, Song Mu immediately went outside, and just after leaving the imperial city, he saw two people coming towards him.

Both of them were dressed as Confucian scholars, and when they lifted their robes this time, each of them looked joyful, and Song Mu looked at him, and the expression on his face was also suddenly happy.

"Zu Hai. Brother Sun, it's you?"

Song Mu also threw away those things in his mind at the moment, and this time he walked towards each other in a pleasant surprise. The three of them gathered together immediately, and there was a bit of joy on each face.

Since Song Mu arrived in Chang'an a few years ago, he has been working here, and he only wrote letters occasionally with his family, and even rarely contacted friends in his hometown.

Meeting in Chang'an so suddenly, Song Mu also looked excited.

Kong Zong, who is now very mature, looked carefully at Song Mu who was wearing a red robe, and gave a sigh of admiration.

"Brother Song, wearing this red robe on you is so bright and majestic!"

Song Mu just calmed down, bowed his hands to the two of them, and said with a smile.

"How did you come to Chang'an, but for next year's spring?"

Both of them nodded, Senior Brother Sun spoke first.

"That's right, Zu Hai said that being bored in Jiangnan West Road, why not come to Chang'an first, and see the prosperity of this world."

"Jingzhao, it seems to you now that you are still so high-spirited!"

Song Mu laughed twice, and immediately greeted the two of them and went home.

Song Mu planned to treat these two distinguished guests well.

Kong Zong and the two did not refuse, this time they just refused to get in the carriage, and wanted to walk all the way with Song Mu to have a good chat about the past.

Song Mu naturally followed them, and the three of them walked side by side, talking about the past.

"Brother Song, if you want to say that now, you are a well-known figure in our Jiangnan West Road."

"Who doesn't know that in our Jizhou Prefecture, there is a three-yuan and first-ranked scholar, and now he is a lecturer in the East Palace, an official of the Ministry of Rites, and when I go out and talk to others, others will look at us with envy."

Kong Zong said loudly at the moment, but this time he felt rather proud.

Song Mu smiled lightly when he heard this, no matter whether there was any compliment in it or not, Song Mu felt at ease after saying a few words with his old friends from home.

"What Zu Hai said is true. During our trip to the north, we also met many students from the provincial capital of Yuzhang. These people also admire you, Brother Song."

"I heard that many of them have been blessed by your vision. You, now in Yuzhang, are like sages."

Hearing Senior Brother Sun say this, Song Mu cupped his hands again and again, and said with a wry smile.

"I said you two, but if I say that again, I'm going to praise you to the sky. Tell me more about my hometown. I really miss you."

The three of them laughed loudly, but they didn't feel restrained. Song Mu was very moved after hearing the story of the old man today from the mouths of the two of them. They chatted freely all the way, and they also arrived at the door of Song Mu's house.

At this moment, Song Huaitong and Song Chengming came back from school. When they saw Song Mu coming back, they first waited in front of the door. When Song Mu approached, they immediately cupped their hands. Kong Zong was stunned when he heard the two call Song Mu's father. Then he said with some surprise.

"Are these two good nephews, Huai Tong and Cheng Ming?"

"Speaking of which, I've only met Huai Tong once, hey, now I'm already in the realm of a scholar?"
