"This is this?" Su Mo looked at the scene in front of him, slightly lost in thought.
Towering and majestic buildings are surrounded on all sides, and stern guards holding weapons stand in every corner.
Is this a royal palace?
What kind of powerful means can bring people from the south of the city to the palace in the blink of an eye?
As if he saw Su Mo's doubts, Eunuch Ji smiled and said: "In the whole world, there is nothing but royal soil!"
"What does this mean?" Su Mo asked puzzledly.
Eunuch Ji shook his head and did not explain. Instead, he pointed to Shen Nong on one side and said: "This road is the road leading to Huaji Palace. There will be guards taking you to Huaji Palace for today's meeting." Before the palace examination... there is a question I need to ask Mr. Su."
"If you have any questions, just ask Eunuch Ji!" Su Mo looked at Eunuch Ji thoughtfully.
Mr. Ji straightened his body, crossed his hands in front of him, and spoke seriously:
"Suppose you are the owner of the peach, and the peach insect (the tiger in Peach Mountain) is ferocious and wants to eat people, and the people are your subjects. If you are unable to defeat the insect, what should you do?"
The voice was low and the tone was solemn.
come yet......
This question echoes what Su Mo said in Chunwei's "Wordless Volume" that day.
Su Mo said in the article that day: If you make a bed with insects, you must first become the king of insects.
Today, the man asked: If you can't fight the insects, what should you do?
Su Mo looked at Eunuch Ji seriously and said the answer that had been buried in his heart for a long time:
"If you want to survive in the world, you must be stronger than others. If you want to make enemies of others, you must first cure your own troubles!"
Eunuch Ji stared at Su Mo closely, as if he wanted to get some clues from it.
Su Mo looked calm and his eyes were fearless...
"I'd rather have broken jade..."
"Not for Waquan!"
Rather Stick to your guns......
After Su Mo finished speaking, the air around him seemed to suddenly stagnate, and an invisible breath seemed to be leaked out easily, and then immediately hidden again.
Eunuch Ji's eyes flashed and he murmured to himself.
Absolute silence fell around...
After a moment of silence, Eunuch Ji took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Su Mo, as if he had received some instructions.
The jade pendant is white and flawless, with strange and mysterious lines engraved on it, and strands of light slowly swimming between the lines, making it look like an immortal treasure.
"This is it?" Su Mo took the jade pendant and didn't know why.
Eunuch Ji slowly said: "This is the Nianchuan Lingyu. When the Lingyu is running, the things remembered in the heart will be transformed and reappear in the world..."
Su Mo was already smart, so he naturally understood something at this moment.
This Eunuch Ji was obviously ordered by that person to take him to the palace, ask questions and test him, and finally give him the key thing.
what do you want to do......
Su Mo was clear-minded, but not contradictory.
If you want me to help you, then I will help you...
"Go and take the palace exam!" Eunuch Ji called the guards on the side and pointed to the road leading to Huaji Palace.
Eunuch Ji turned around and left, but as he left, he sighed as if to himself:
"Today's palace examination, all civil and military officials are here, everything in the palace can be seen by the whole world, it must be very lively. Go, don't waste the time..."
Su Mo's eyes flashed, he put away the Nianchuan Lingyu, turned around and left with the guards.
...
Su Mo followed the guards to the front of Huaji Palace. The Danja jade path in front of the palace was very long, leading directly to the palace gate. The Danbi Jade Road is paved with jade and is extremely luxurious. The squares on both sides of the Danbi Jade Road are extremely wide and surrounded by the city on all sides.
Su Mo was taken to the side of the square in front of the palace, where he saw other candidates taking the palace examination.
There were dozens of candidates, all standing there in fear, waiting for the palace examination to begin. Su Mo rarely saw a woman among the candidates. Su Mo guessed that this was the person named Ji Hongyan on the gold list.
Su Mo also recognized two people among these candidates, one was Jiang Yu and the other was Liu Feng.
Jiang Yu, the talented man he met on the way to the exam that day, had a conversation with Su Mo, but the conversation was not deep.
Liu Feng, the son of the Minister of War, was the one who inexplicably targeted Su Mo's people outside the ship building that day, and was the ultimate beneficiary of the massacre in the west of the city!
Liu Feng stood among the candidates with a beaming face, full of confidence and high spirits.
Just when he saw Su Modi, he frowned. For some reason, Liu Feng disliked Su Mo very much. There seemed to be something in the way Su Mo looked at him that made him very disgusted.
Su Mo just glanced at it, then silently walked into the crowd of candidates and stood in the empty seat next to the female candidate named Ji Hongyan.
Liu Feng frowned and looked at Su Mo. Although Su Mo didn't look at him anymore, Liu Feng always felt that there were countless eyes on Su Mo staring closely at him.
Ji Hongyan turned her head and glanced at Su Mo. She had no impression of this delicate man. Then she stopped paying attention and just waited quietly for the palace examination to begin.
The morning light is getting brighter,
Hundreds of officials enter...
"Dang, Dang, Dang..."
The bells are ringing, the Holy Spirit is coming!
"Holy One!" A voice familiar to Su Mo resounded throughout the room. This voice was none other than Eunuch Ji.
A great pressure followed the sound, and all the officials knelt down and worshiped.
"Long live Long live Long live!"
Su Mo knelt down and bowed in obedience to the epidemic. He looked down and couldn't see the person sitting on the holy throne.
A majestic and resonant voice sounded:
"Today's Imperial Academy Examination, hundreds of officials are watching the ceremony. This round of examination questions will be written by me personally. There will be no examination on erudition, no examination on literary etiquette, and no examination on poetry."
"This round of registration questions!"
The question is asked by him orally, and then the candidate answers orally.
"Get up!" Eunuch Ji shouted.
All the officials stood up and stood quietly.
Su Mo stood up and suddenly felt a gaze sweeping over him from a high position, and then looked back.
The emperor is a middle-aged man, sitting high on the throne, wearing a dragon robe, with a calm expression and eyes like the sea.
The emperor's eyes did not seem to linger on a certain candidate, but just glanced slightly and went directly to the topic.
"The question in the volume is: Why do you read? It only lasts a moment. There is no need to answer the question. You can respond freely."
"I will decide the outcome personally!"
Why study?
What is this topic? Why does this question arise?
When all the officials heard the question, they frowned and didn't know why.
But some of the important ministers at the front frowned and glanced at the emperor with doubts, trying to figure out the reason.
The candidates began to think hard. This exam was too strange. First there was a wordless paper, and then there were written questions.
Does the saint want to use this to test or question his heart?
The entire hall fell into dead silence for an instant.
The emperor on the Holy Throne didn't seem to be in a hurry, leaning on the Holy Chair and waiting quietly.
Liu Feng looked strange, his brows furrowed, his original high-spirited expression no longer existed, but his face was full of doubts... It seemed that the emperor's topic was an accident in his eyes!
Jiang Yu thought for a while, wondering about the holy meaning for a long time, but he was not restless, just simply confused.
Ji Hongyan, who was next to Su Mo, just thought about it briefly and didn't seem to care, so she stood there quietly.
Beneath the emperor was a man with messy hair and a pale face. He didn't seem to care about the emperor's problems. He was just thinking about his own affairs with haggard eyes. He smelled of alcohol and was shaky...
The eunuch on the side brought a chair for the man to sit on, but all the civil and military officials had no objection to this.
The man was slumped in the chair, his eyes were dull with messy hair, and there was a look of extreme sadness in his eyes, and he murmured softly and repeatedly:
"Tongtong, where are you? Where did you sneak away?"
"You don't want daddy anymore?"
