Shen Xian's carriage arrived late, and it was only a quarter of an hour before the start of the competition.

The carriage hurriedly stopped at the door, and just as Shen Xian got out of the carriage, Hong Ye grabbed her hand.

"Why are you here so late?"

Shen Xian hurriedly followed Hongye's footsteps, and explained: "Today, my husband released the list, so I followed to have a look."

The two entered the inner courtyard together, and Hong Ye asked, "How is your husband doing in the exam?"

"Hey, top three, this club has already entered the palace."

Shen Xian's tone was a little smug, a few months ago, she would have never imagined that Zhao Shun would be able to become an official in the court.

Hongye paused for a moment when she heard Shen Xian's words, she didn't expect that the husband and wife are so powerful.

"Congratulations."

Hongye sent this congratulations from the bottom of her heart.

"Actually, it's nothing. Let's compete first."

"Ah."

In a few words, Shen Xian received his identity card again, and followed the guidance of the person who supervised the competition to his position.

At table A No. [-], the three people who were seated early saw that the last person to come was Shen Xian, and they all wailed in their hearts.

This is a player who has won all [-] games, and this Sparrow God Competition is probably over.

Just as the competition in Tianque Tower was in full swing, Zhao Shun and the other two candidates had already been brought by the officials to the ceremony officials in the palace.

The ritual officer glanced at Zhao Shun and the others, showing a hint of a smile.

"Everyone, you will be the pillars of the pillars in the future, but before you face the saint, there are still some rules and etiquette that need to be explained."

The ceremonial officer mumbled, telling the things that should be paid attention to when meeting the saint, and then ordered the eunuch to check whether the three of them were carrying sharp weapons.

At this time, civil and military officials gathered in the Golden Luan Hall, and the regent Yu Wengao sat on the emperor's dragon chair, while the little emperor, who was the emperor, stood beside the regent like a minion.

For such a rebellious act, none of the civil and military officials spoke up.

Because those who dared to speak out were all dead, and the rest were either Yu Wenji's henchmen, or Xiao Xuangu and other tolerant people.

Yuwen's extremely narrow and long phoenix eyes were deeply clouded, and he slowly looked at the civil and military officials, "Is there a performance today, if there is nothing wrong, this king will prepare for the imperial examination."

All the officials remained silent, and the little emperor, who was in his teens, kept his eyes on his nose, his nose, his nose, and his heart, and also did not speak.

The corners of Yu Wenji's mouth curled up slightly, "In that case, let those three come in."

"Xuan, Zhao Tieshu, Liu Changge, and Zhang Tingsheng are here!"

The eunuch gave a sharp cry, and then the court guards led Zhao Shun and others into the Golden Luan Hall.

When they first arrived at the Golden Palace, Zhang Tingsheng and Liu Changge were a little nervous, especially facing the stealthy gazes of many ministers, they were even more anxious.

Only Zhao Shun was so angry that he didn't move at all. After all, he had seen this scene when he was a child.

After stepping into the Golden Luan Hall, the three of them raised their heads to look at the high platform, and then their eyes shrank for a while.

The emperor in dragon robes stood aside, and the regent sat on the dragon chair. Zhao Shun never thought of such a scene where the priorities were reversed.

Rolling their throats, Zhang Tingsheng and Liu Changge knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "The grass people see the emperor, see the regent."

The regent's eyes sank slightly when he heard this, and he snorted coldly.

The weak voice was like thunder, which shocked Zhang Tingsheng and Liu Changge.

Zhao Shun lifted up his robe and knelt down to salute, and said loudly: "Craftsmen Zhao Tieshu, see the regent, see the emperor."

As soon as the words fell, Yu Wenji's eyes fell on Zhao Shun, and his eyes suddenly softened a lot.

Just because of the difference between the first title and the last title, Yu Wenji has already classified the three of His Royal Highness into ranks and ranks in his heart.

Yu Wenji wanted everyone to know that he was above the emperor.

Standing among the officials, Gu Hanlin couldn't help but nodded. This Zhao Shun had figured out the court situation clearly.

The little emperor standing aside took a deep look at Zhao Shun, and cursed in his heart, he is another traitor!
Looking at Zhao Shun, Yu Wenji said slowly, "Although your name is a bit crude, your mind is quite clear, let's be flat."

"Thank you, Regent."

Zhao Shun got up slowly, and the two competitors beside him looked defeated, and they all realized what was wrong at this moment.

With just one word, many things were decided, and Zhang Tingsheng and Li Changge were destined not to go far.

Although Yuwenji already has some concerns about the candidate for the champion, the palace examination is still going on now.

If there is no distinction between them, today's palace test will be boring.

"Today's exam question is..."

As soon as the regent spoke, he saw a person stepping out from among the officials.

This person is none other than Lu Jinnian whom Zhao Shun is very familiar with.

"Regent, the minister has a book to play."

The regent's words were interrupted, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

He cast his gloomy gaze on Lu Jinnian, and asked slowly, "Why didn't you play just now?"

Facing Yu Wenji's eyes, Lu Jinnian smiled calmly and said, "Just now I was a little bit undecided. I was worried that one of the top three in this meeting would be so spineless. I decided to let these young people see what character is."

Yu Wenji's eyes were like cold pool water flowing, he understood what Lu Jinnian said, obviously Lu Jinnian was looking for death.

"Your Majesty Lu speaks loudly. Since that's the case, I want to hear what you're playing."

Lu Jinnian calmly took out the brochure from his sleeve, Zhao Shun glanced sideways, and there was an impressive "Appeal to Thieves" written on it.

It goes without saying who the 'thief' is, and Zhao Shun was shocked. Lu wrote an appeal against thieves to attack Yuwen at this time in recent years, which is no different from hitting a stone with an egg.
But at this moment, his status is embarrassing, if he speaks rashly to dissuade him, he will only put himself in it.

Zhao Shun looked at Xiao Xuangu, his uncle, with moving eyes.

I saw Xiao Xuangu's face was silent, and he didn't say anything to stop him.

What the hell are they planning?
In recent years, Lu unfolded the "Calling for Thieves" and read loudly: "The current court is ruled by the regent, and it is a disaster for the court. It is a heinous crime to coerce the emperor to order the officials..."

"presumptuous!"

"shut up!"

Lu Jinnian only read a short paragraph, and Yu Wenji's lackeys yelled loudly, trying to interrupt Lu Jinnian.

Yu Wenji's fists were clenched and rattling, since he had been in charge of the court for so long, he hadn't seen such a tough bone for a long time.

Lu Jinnian continued to read without any scruples, his sharp words punishing his heart.

Yu Wenji's eyes fell on Zhao Shun and the other three, then he smiled coldly.

"Master Lu demonstrated to you what character strength is. As candidates, how do you answer?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Shun was stunned for a while, and he finally understood why Lu Jinnian was so radical in recent years.

He intends to use his own life as an examination question, paving his own advancement.

At this time, Zhao Shun remembered the meaningful words that Qian Lu had said to him in recent years.

'When it is broken, it is broken, don't lose the big because of the small. '
