Chapter 319 An Unusual Palace Examination

Since ancient times, the palace examinations have been held in the Jingtai Hall behind the Zhaohe Hall.

This is the place where previous students were selected, and any female family members are also not allowed to enter.

However, because it was a palace examination, apart from Emperor Kang He, many officials, including those who had already graduated from university, were gracious to participate.

Therefore, one of Lan Ting came over early, and after entering the main hall, the officials stood according to their own positions. Besides Lan Ting, there were a few other people who had become official scholars, and they all stood on the left side.

It's just that when all the officials entered the Jingtai Hall, they were all taken aback by the decorations in the hall.

Because this Jingtai Hall has to accommodate more than 200 people, it is extremely spacious. In the usual palace examinations, these students came in one after another and stood in the middle of the hall one by one to accept questions from the emperor. But today it is really strange. Suddenly hundreds of tables appeared, and Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out.

But no one explained to them, because in Jingtai Hall, no one dared to make any noise, especially when the emperor had already arrived.

At this moment, everyone looked at the high-ranking emperor with suspicion.

Emperor Kang He didn't mean to explain at all, but just told the eunuch to give stools to the adults.

Looking at this posture, it seems that today will not end soon.

When the candidates from outside are brought in, they will stand in their positions one by one according to their own rankings.

After they stood still, everyone found that another eunuch brought a stack of papers and pasted them on the desks of these people one by one, ranging from 230 to [-], but this was weird again, because these eunuchs seemed to be They are all randomly posted, and they are not arranged in the order of their seats.

For example, the person sitting first is not No. 23, but No. 230, and the person sitting last is not No. [-], but No. [-]. Anyway, you can’t find the slightest pattern, which really makes people feel more curious .

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and could only wait for Emperor Kang He to clarify their doubts.

Emperor Kanghe first praised and encouraged everyone, saying that you have studied hard and learned a lot. Today, the purpose of coming to this palace examination is to select talents. Only then said:

"Today's palace examination, you gentlemen have seen, it is quite unusual. This time, I have ordered Lu Xuanqing to take charge of the No. [-] University of the Three Kingdoms. If you have any doubts, Lu Xuanqing will fully explain it to you."

Everyone was surprised, it seemed that Emperor Kang He really trusted Lu Xuanqing so much that he actually presided over such an important palace examination.

In the past, weren't there two Shangshu adults?Don't they all have an opinion?

Everyone looked at the two ministers again, they were standing beside Lu Xuanqing, they seemed to be escorting Lu Xuanqing, making everyone even less aware of what happened today.

Lu Xuanqing's name has long been resounding throughout the Three Kingdoms, everyone knows it, and now all the students are sighing when they see the real person, the number one scholar of the Three Kingdoms is actually such a young and handsome young man.

Many people here have participated in the imperial examination many times, some have already reached their thirties, and some are struggling hard, and some are over fifty, just for this leap to the dragon gate.

But they all knew very well that the number one scholar of the Three Kingdoms was not only talented, but also the closed disciple of Yu Shi'an, and their knowledge was nothing compared to his.

Of course, there are also those who are full of arrogance and feel that they will not lose to Lu Xuanqing, but he is already a second-rank member of the dynasty, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and he really wants to compete with him, and he has to wait until you really have that ability. Only when you become an official.

All the beings below are in various states, and even the court official is waiting for Lu Xuanqing to tell the reason.

But Lu Xuanqing was very direct and brief, he just said:

"Selecting talents for the imperial court naturally needs to be eclectic. Therefore, although there are changes today, if you have real skills, you will definitely not be buried. The imperial examination begins!"

Can you say a few more words?Everyone pricked up their ears to listen to a few more words, but Lu Xuanqing's short words almost made everyone's jaws drop from shock.

Is this so unreasonable?

"Your Majesty, this is out of the ordinary..."

Wang Miao, a first-rank member of the family in the capital who has already retired, was the first to feel that something was wrong.

Lu Xuanqing glanced at him, this person was none other than Wang Qinglang's father, the helm of the Wang family, the eighty-year-old old man, and also Lu Xuanqing's grandfather.

Who is this person? Lu Xuanqing doesn't comment. After all, he is just a concubine. This old man thinks very highly of himself and attaches great importance to the distinction between concubines and concubines. Concubines and concubines are slaves in his eyes, but he himself has three prostitutes and two prostitutes. , but there are four concubines and seven concubines, so this is not irony.

Of course, no matter who you are today, since His Majesty has entrusted this matter to him, if you have any doubts, Lu Xuanqing can answer them for you, so I only heard Lu Xuanqing say:

"Wang Lao didn't expect to come today at such an advanced age. The students have admired Wang Lao's name for a long time and have met Wang Lao."

"I can't deserve such a great gift from a Grand Bachelor."

Old man Wang didn't seem to be very interested in Lu Xuanqing, but Lu Xuanqing didn't care at all. After all, they were destined not to have a good relationship.

So I only saw Lu Xuanqing smiled and said:
"Old Wang is getting old, and the changes in the court are unpredictable. It is because of the old Wang's unclearness. Besides, whether it is an old practice or a precedent, it is to select talented people for our Great Wei Kingdom. Your Majesty will personally check it. Can something go wrong?"

"How can the ancestral decree be changed without authorization? Is it possible that you can change the decision left by your ancestors at will?"

This is not polite, everyone looked at this side, wondering how Lu Xuanqing would choose when he met this fiery old man.

"Then you really don't need to worry about Mr. Wang. The student has no ancestors. The student is an orphan and doesn't know who the ancestor is."

Everyone who said this was taken aback, orphan?University scholar Lu Xuanqing is actually an orphan?

No wonder his personality is so perverse, no wonder his disposition is so extraordinary.

Elder Wang was so humiliated by this young boy, he immediately became a little angry.

But Lu Xuanqing didn't give him a chance to speak, and said loudly again:
"Today is the palace test once every three years. It's not about buying vegetables at the vegetable market and bargaining. Naturally, His Majesty's will will not be changed overnight. No matter what kind of modification it is, it is for my Great Wei Kingdom to recruit talents.

And if you feel that I am not worthy to be the chief examiner, of course you can recommend yourself. If your talent is better than mine, I should abdicate to give way to the virtuous. If not, then today's palace test will be held by me.

Minister Chao Yue, please make amends, Your Majesty! "

Lu Xuanqing's bold remarks made everyone stunned. This person is the same as his wife in that they are so bold. Are all young people like this now?
But people also said, if you think you can surpass me in knowledge, fine, come and compete with me, if you win, the examiner will do it for you, and you can set the rules.

Dare to ask the people present who dare to say that their knowledge can compare with the first bachelor of the Three Kingdoms?
If you can compete, why didn't you compete in the Three Kingdoms competition back then?

Therefore, Lu Xuanqing's shamelessness was really displayed to the fullest at this moment, but there was nothing he could do about it, he just had the capital to be proud of.

There are many people who are extremely dissatisfied with Lu Xuanqing, and he can be so arrogant in this Jingtai Palace, isn't this kid afraid?Are you not afraid of His Majesty's punishment?
But when he looked at Emperor Kang and He, he always had a smile on his face, and he didn't see that there was anything wrong with Lu Xuanqing's actions.

Although it was completely different from the old rules, if Kang Hedi nodded in person, no one would dare to say no!
"Student Lu is right. If you think anyone has the ability to take the position of the chief examiner of the palace examination, as long as your knowledge is better than that of Lu Xuanqing, you can come too."

Did the emperor say that?Who dares to say anything?Isn't this always hosted by the most knowledgeable people?

Moreover, these two ministers have not spoken all the time, and it is tacit understanding that this Lu Xuanqing really has some skills, and he has become a Pythagorean minister at such a young age. His Majesty's trust in him really makes people feel different.

Elder Wang was so suffocated that he couldn't speak. After all, his grades were old, and his eloquence and responses were not as fast as this young man's. Moreover, the emperor himself opened his mouth, so who would dare to say it again.

Originally, His Majesty personally approved the final decision of the palace examination, so even if Lu Xuanqing presided over a very strange palace examination, it did not mean that he could influence His Majesty's decision.

This is Emperor Kanghe, not those stupid people.

So the scene was suppressed again. Kang Hedi saw that these people who had always united to fight against each other in the past were all directly suppressed by Lu Xuanqing in such a high-profile way. It was really intriguing for a while.

It seems that sometimes being proud also has its benefits, at least when someone has this ability, a single sentence can silence you.

Emperor Kanghe motioned for Lu Xuanqing to start, and Lu Xuanqing said loudly to everyone:
"Idlers and others should not make loud noises, the palace examination begins!"
