MTL - Prehistoric: A Stable Life, Starting From the Journey To the West-Chapter 4

However, Li Shimin quickly frowned again, because he saw the shadow of Buddhism in this argument.

The influence and terror of Buddhism, he understands better than anyone.

After all, his cheap old husband, Yang Guang, was planted in the hands of Buddhism.

If it weren't for the last blow of Buddhism's defection, his cheap old husband might not have really wiped out the clan family, and the Sui Dynasty would not have died for the second time.

Then think of the forces behind the Chen family in the Southern Tang Dynasty and the behavior of the Chen family this time.

Li Shimin has reason to believe that Buddhism is plotting something.

"Forget it, let's let Daomen have a headache in the matter of Buddhism, Datang will not be involved."

Li Shimin shook his head, then wrote a big "excellent" character on Chen E's test paper, and placed the test paper directly on the right side.

After reading Chen E's exam papers, Li Shimin was slightly interested, and then continued to read the remaining jinshi exam papers.

Later, when he picked up a test paper again, he was completely stunned on the spot.

"The Theory of Exterminating the Buddha and Getting Rich, Chen Qi!"

Seeing these seven words, even Li Shimin, an emperor, could not help rubbing his eyes, wondering if he was dazzled, and then he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Good guy, really good guy, where did this treachery come from and want to harm me?"

"Another surnamed Chen, could it be that this guy was deliberately sent by Buddhism to test me? Or is it a chess piece from Taoism?"

"Hehe, destroying the Buddha? You really dare to write!"

"I also know that destroying the Buddha can make you rich, but your strength doesn't allow it!"

After reading the argument, Li Shimin couldn't help rolling his eyes, and then threw the argument farthest away from him without even looking at it, and rated it as inferior.

(New books, new books, collections, flowers, evaluations, every piece of your support is the driving force for the author to write hard!).

Chapter 6 The big killers are all sacrificed, you give me the last one? (for collections, for flowers)

Confucius once said that the deceased are so stubborn that they do not give up day and night!

Chen Qi didn't understand the meaning of this sentence before, but now he finally understands it.

This time has passed too quickly, and I don't feel it. Three days have passed, and it is time for the grand ceremony.

This made Chen Qi who had just become acquainted with the literary and romantic life of the Tang Dynasty very reluctantly lifted his pants, and then, with a few close friends he had just met, supported the wall from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion under the eagerly looking forward eyes of the young ladies and sisters. Start preparing for tomorrow's grand ceremony.

What, you say this is prostitution?

What are you kidding me? Can a scholar's business be called whoring?

This is called literary style, understand or not.

This is the mainstream culture of the literati and pokers of the Tang Dynasty.

Besides, the top three bigwigs on the A-list take turns to treat guests, and the top-ranked Huiyuan Brother Chen Guangrui takes the lead in person. Can he, a young scholar hanging on the tail of the B-list, refuse?

In the end, I could not dodge, so I could only participate in tears.

Fortunately, today is the day of the palace test, otherwise everyone would have to communicate in Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a few more days.

Don't ask, ask is to recite poetry and literary style.

Mmmm, literary style!

......

The rooster was not crowing, the dog was not barking, the window was pitch black, and there was no light.

Chen Qi got up and washed up, ate the breakfast brought by the little maid with the lantern, put on the new Jinshi crown with the help of the little maid, and left the Yang residence and headed for the Tang Palace.

The biography refers to the ceremony for the announcement of the ranking in the palace examination.

When Chen Qi walked to the front of the palace, there was a dim light in the east.

The sky wants to be white, the flowers want to be red, the willows want to be green, the golden glazed tiles of the Datang Palace spread a golden light, full of gorgeous wealth.

The crowd of people outside the palace was divided into two groups.

One group is the civil and military officials in court clothes. These people are divided into two camps according to the civil and military, and some of them are divided into several small camps.

The other group is a new jinshi like Chen Qi, wearing a brand new jinshi crown and wearing a hairpin and a black gauze hat.

There were even a few burly old guys gathered together, not knowing what they were muttering, and from time to time they looked at Chen Qi and the others.

"These old guys, shouldn't they be Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi respects them?"

Chen Qi's scalp was numb, and he was very worried about these old guys.

There is no way, the difference in physique between the two sides is not too big. It is strange that they can beat the three of them with one hand.

Because it was still early, and the gate of the palace had not yet opened, everyone waited and chatted outside, and their excitement was beyond words.

When Chen Qi came to the palace gate, he joined the ranks of the Thirty-six Scholars with a few new friends.

The hottest topic of discussion among the new jinshimen is the title of champion.

Chen Qi also thought about it, but he also knew that the champion should not think about it.

Not to mention the champion, you can't even get the second and third spots.

Because the champion, second place, and third flower can only be selected from the first list, even if Li Shimin is satisfied with his theory of destroying Buddhism and getting rich, it is impossible to break this unspoken rule.

This is also an unwritten agreement between the big family of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor.

The emperor can appoint the champion, but the champion he appoints must be selected from the top ten people recommended by the officials.

The second place and the third flower are also the same.

Except for the top three and the rankings behind, no one cares.

Anyway, I don't brush people, the fourth and thirty-sixth places are similar, and what kind of official positions can be assigned, then we have to fight backstage and relationships.

At the fifth watch of the day, the bell rang, and the locked palace door lifted its mysterious veil.

Civil and military officials, royal relatives and nobles lined up in a neat queue, and took the lead to enter the palace.

Chen Qi and other newly promoted scholars also entered the palace following the civil and military officials under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The city wall more than 30 meters high is like a mountain. Chen Qi stepped into the palace and was deeply moved by the city wall of the palace.

Good guy, the wall of more than 30 meters is much higher than the Forbidden City wall in later generations.

After entering the palace, the first thing you see is not a row upon row of palaces. It's an open space, like someone's courtyard magnified hundreds of times.

The fierce warriors stood in line and stood in their respective positions, watching everyone who entered with eagle eyes. It seems that a little carelessness can attract a knife and axe.

Soon, Chen Qi and other newly promoted scholars followed the Manchu civil and military officials to the Taiji Hall again, waiting for the beginning of the grand ceremony.

After a while, Li Shimin came to the Taiji Hall, and the house music sounded continuously.

Chen Qi only vaguely saw a towering and tall figure, and made up his mind about the scene of Li Shimin sitting on the dragon chair in the main hall.

When the music stopped, the civil and military officials in front began to salute, so they followed suit.

Li Shimin first praised and admonished the new jinshi, and then asked the officials of Honglu Temple to read the imperial list.

Seeing this scene, the newly promoted Jinshi who stood behind the civil and military officials were very excited.

In the main hall, officials from the Ministry of Rites walked to the table to open the golden billboard, and officials from Honglu Temple stood in front of the golden billboard and began to sing the billboard.

Starting from the first place in the A list, the list is sung in order, that is, starting from the champion, and ending with the last B list jinshi.

"Zhenguan's thirteenth year, the first champion of the Enke Palace Examination, Chen E!"

"Second place in the 13th year of Zhenguan's Enke Palace Test, Lu Shao!"

"Thirteenth year of Zhenguan Enke Palace, the third place in the top ranking list, Cui Ming!"

......

"The 26th jinshi on the second list of the Enke Palace Examination in the 13th year of Zhenguan, Chen Qi!"

The sound of Honglu Temple officials singing the list broke the silence of the main hall, and also caused Chen Qi to look up in shock and look at the figure on the dragon chair.

The twenty-sixth in the second list, the last one?

What are you kidding?

As soon as he passed through the dignified people, he took out the big killer of the theory of destroying the Buddha and getting rich. Would you give me the last one?

Who is this looking down on?

It's a pity that the official of Honglu Temple who sang the list didn't care what he thought. After the singing, he returned to the original queue.

Then the servant Wang De next to Li Shimin took a step forward and announced loudly, "Your Majesty has a decree to declare the champion Chen E, second place Lu Shao, and Tanhua Cui Ming to come forward to meet."

It is also the honor of the top three in the imperial examination to show the emperor's importance to the top three in the imperial examination.

However, this has nothing to do with Chen Qi. He can only stand at the back of the group of scholars, constantly thinking about what went wrong.

It's a pity that I admit that he wants to break his head, but I can't figure out what went wrong.

It shouldn't be at all! .

Chapter 7 What big red flower do you want, just be a green leaf with peace of mind! (for collection)

Li Shimin praised the top three winners, the second place, and the third flower, and then the highlight of the palace test was the official praise of the royal street.

Yujie boasting officials, also known as parade and boasting officials.

The champion, riding a high-headed horse, walked on the imperial street in the imperial city, enjoying the glory that was admired by the people.

Of course, the second place and Tanhua Lang will also do the same, but they have to fall behind the champion and cannot steal the limelight of the champion.

As for a jinshi like Chen Qi, if you want a bicycle, you can just walk.

The purpose of Yujie Kuanguan is to commend the champions and other scholars, and to inspire the self-motivation of people all over the world, especially the self-motivation of students.

Encourage them to learn from the champions, take them as models, work hard, study hard, take the imperial examinations, and serve the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

All are formalism, formalism, we do not envy, do not envy!

A traveler told himself sourly.

However, these eyes could not be removed from Chen E, the champion.

Soon, under the arrangement of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, the champion, the second place in the list, and the Tanhualang were led to the side hall. Because Yujie boasting officials is a matter of face, it is necessary to change the festive and dazzling clothes for the first three people.

Chen Qi and the other Jinshi watched them leave with an envious look, and then waited for them to put on a beautiful and dazzling red robe and come out.

The jinshi around Chen Qi looked at Chen E, the champion with envy.

To be precise, he looked enviously at the crown suit of the champion, Chen E.

The crown suit of the champion shows its superiority different from other scholars. It is closer to the imperial uniform of civil and military officials. The imperial crown of the two beams, a pure gold crown hairpin, and a blue pendant go around under the chin.

Moreover, the robes of the champions are crimson color, which is different from the blue color of other jinshi, which is more conspicuous and extravagant. The belt is a luminous silver belt of a sixth-rank official, and there is a medicinal jade pendant with pearl tassels.

He meows, this treatment is not a little bit higher than that of ordinary Jinshi, and it is not a grade at all.

The only pity is that such handsome clothes are not on him.

This is probably the common thought of all the scholars in the Taiji Temple.

However, this is the Taiji Hall. Even if the scholars have thoughts in their hearts, they don't dare to say it. They can only look at Chen E with an envious look, and they can't move away.

Then Yujie Kuanguan officially began.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and other departments held the golden list and walked in the forefront.

The champion Chen E led the second place in the list and Tanhua Lang walked in the middle, Chen Qi and the other jinshi walked in the back, walked out of the palace together, and walked towards the ranking platform outside the Chengtian Gate.

Yujie praised the officials. To put it bluntly, it was the process of Zhuangyuan Lang leading the scholars to the gate of the palace to watch the officials put up the gold list, and then go home.

After leaving the palace, there will be more drums and royal battles, gongs and drums are noisy, and there will be blows and beatings everywhere.

Under the guidance of drum music and royal battles, everyone came to the temporary "dragon shed" built by the imperial court one by one, and watched the officials of the Ministry of Rites put up the golden list.

After the gold list was posted, the governor of Chang'an, who had been waiting for a long time, led two officials to come forward, said congratulations, and then involuntarily draped a big red silk on the champion's body, with a large flower on his chest. Safflower, there is also a big red flower on the hat.

The other two officials also put red silk and red flowers on the second place and Tanhualang.
