Reincarnation Guest of All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 290 Exploring Flowers!

In the early morning of the [-]th, outside the palace of Bianliang City.

Ren Taixu followed the officials from the Ministry of Rites to walk quietly outside the imperial city, the majestic imperial palace was close in front of him, as long as he looked up at this time, he could still see the sky full of stars.

"I didn't expect that the first time I came to this imperial city, it was at this time, and it was because of the palace examination."

Ren Taixu naturally sighed, after all, he had a disobedient heart in his heart.

However, he is already past the age of Secondary Two, and he will not say like Xiang Yu: "He can be replaced!"

At this time, Ren Taixu's face was full of calm, and no one could see the ambition in his heart at all.

The surrounding area is extremely quiet, only the footsteps of more than 200 people can be heard continuously. As the member of this session, Ren Taixu is naturally in the front row. The officials of the Ministry of Rites who led the way did not arrive outside the imperial gate.

From then on, a young eunuch came and whispered a few words to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, who nodded and led them to stand quietly outside, waiting to enter.

Because it is April at this time, even if it is still dark at this moment, those who can pass the examination for tributes basically do not lack a few thick and warm single clothes, so the tributes standing and waiting outside the imperial gate will not feel cold .

However, the uneasiness and uncontrollable excitement in their hearts caused some people to stand still and tremble slightly.

As the footsteps stopped, the surrounding small sounds became especially clear.

Ren Taixu heard No.4 standing behind him, although it was far away, there was still the sound of heavy breathing and slight clinking of teeth.

Thinking back to when they first gathered, although this No. 4 looked well dressed and had a fairly upright figure, he could still be cautious in his actions. It didn't seem like he came from a wealthy or official family, but like a Children of local gentry.

With such an ordinary background, even if he is the son of a country gentry, at this time, it is basically impossible to be calm.

However, due to various reasons, Ren Taixu stood in front of the team with a calm expression.

Eunuch Zhang, who just came over, could not help but nodded secretly when he saw this scene, and said a few words to the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Being able to jump over the dragon gate and becoming a pillar of our Dalian—enter and open the imperial gate!"

Gong Shidu bowed his hands silently, and made a half salute, thanking him for the good words.

Afterwards, the imperial gate was closed tightly and slowly opened in front of them. To many people, the mysterious imperial city finally revealed its true appearance in front of them.

The shocking long road that can hardly be seen, as well as the red walls and golden tiles, all brought a kind of spiritual pressure and shock to these tributes in this still dim morning.

Most people study and take imperial examinations for the purpose of learning literary and martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family?
Whether or not he can honor his ancestors depends on today.

At this time, the children from the capital who were not very nervous at first, their heartbeats accelerated and their minds fluttered.

"The heavenly family is majestic, and its reputation is well-deserved."

The so-called majesty, to put it bluntly, is the awe generated when one's own life and future are all in the hands of others.

Ren Taixu did not feel the slightest awe, this is the confidence brought by strength!
……

Ren Taixu, led by officials from the Ministry of Rituals, followed 230 into the towering and majestic hall.

Along the way, eunuchs and guards can be seen almost everywhere, and armored soldiers patrolling in groups, walking neatly and heavily guarded, but none of these are as awesome as the hall in front of which is about to face the saint.

Majestic, tall, just the steps, the highest step, standing on it, you can look down on everyone.

There are dozens of guards at the gate of the hall, all of them are officials, tall and straight, with awe-inspiring temperament, holding the handle of the knife, staring sharply at everyone who enters and exits.

Eunuch Zhang has been silent in front of the team, he went in at this time, and came out after a while to announce: "The tribute enters the palace, and sees the holy face!"

Ren Taixu was Huiyuan, so he naturally walked in the front when entering the hall, with a solemn expression, he bowed and followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites who led the way, and entered the hall in a single file.

With a flash of his eyes, he saw rows of tables and chairs, and then he stood properly. He heard three quiet whips from the hall, and then the sound of drum music, and Eunuch Zhao screamed: "The emperor is here!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Everyone knelt down together, and there was a crowd of black crows. The whole hall was so quiet that there was no sound of coughing, and only one footstep came in. This was the emperor.

The emperor came in amidst the music, stopped for a while when he was going up the steps, glanced at the tributes, and went up to the throne in the palace, only the sound of sleeves and clothes rubbing against each other.

In the extremely quiet place, Emperor Hongzhi's subsequent voice was very clear: "The country selects scholars, and they will be appointed as officials for you every three years. The purpose is to assist in government affairs, comfort the local area, and manage civil affairs. Then why should you be an official?"

"It's based on public loyalty and private integrity."

All the people fell down, the hall was extremely quiet, the oppressive atmosphere made people's hearts sink to the bottom of the sea, they couldn't breathe, only the faint voice of the emperor.

"When I choose a scholar, what I take is my heart. If I can hold a loyal heart, even if I do something bad, I will give it a chance. If the heart is broken, no matter how talented I am, I will never forgive you."

"The imperial examination is not only the last test for your studies, but also the first test for your official career. You should do it yourself."

Already standing in the hall, they all lowered their heads slightly, not daring to look up at the three candidates, all waiting for the emperor to speak and announce the start of the palace examination.

"The imperial examination begins—"

Everyone began to answer the papers, the emperor's gaze was only cursory on others, but he took a deep look at the young man standing in front.

Seeing Ren Taixu's demeanor, Emperor Hongzhi also nodded slightly. Although he came from a poor family, he is full of talent and extraordinary bearing!

I have to say that a good face is an advantage!
It can be said that a minister must not have a bad appearance, this is called official appearance!

Especially for officials in the DPRK, there are many advantages to being pleasing to the emperor's eyes.

Believe it or not, most of the so-called treacherous ministers are personable, and a person with outstanding appearance is qualified to be a flatterer. He Shen is a good example!

Of course, just having a face is not enough.

It's like He Shen is not only outstanding in appearance, but also good at guessing people's hearts. Even flattering is better than others.

What's more, his ability to handle affairs is also extremely good, making the emperor rely on him, so he is the one who can give power to the government!
Ren Taixu took a look at the exam questions, and there was nothing wrong with it, it was just some false talk about kingly ways and etiquette before, and he knew it right away.

Start breaking the inscription and writing papers directly!
Not long after, Ren Taixu finished writing and handing in the paper.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was several days, and the list was released again!
"Congratulations to Mr. Ren, No. 12 in the 3th year of the imperial examination of Hongzhi Senior High School!"

Ren Taixu wasn't surprised that he wasn't the number one scholar, after all everything is possible, and most of his writings on kingly ways and etiquette in palace examinations are not as good as those old masters who specialize in ritual scriptures.
