Chapter 749 Beating the Drum and Ambition

While the two were chatting and laughing, the carriage had reached the end of the road and stopped slowly in front of the palace gate.

The large square in front of the palace was crowded with people coming to watch on both sides.

On both sides of the white jade avenue leading to the palace gate, the heroic Imperial City Guards stood neatly lined up.

The two got off the carriage and took out the test talisman for the palace examination. After some portrait verification, they successfully passed the interrogation of the Imperial City Guard.

When the receptionist sang the names of the two students from Xinlu Academy, there was a burst of cheers and applause.

After saluting and thanking the reception officer, Baiyunlou and the little fat man clasped their fists and saluted the people on both sides, and then walked into the palace gate with their heads held high.

…

Following an imperial city guard, they arrived at a royal courtyard where they were waiting for the imperial examination. The two of them in Baiyun Tower couldn't help but feel ashamed.

It's not that the royal courtyard is so beautiful, but that the courtyard in front of you is already filled with students who came to take the exam.

From the little fat man's mouth, he learned that most of these students were selected from various places in Daxia through examinations, and there were as many as a hundred in total.

In addition, there are eight people who were recommended by the master of Shanchang Palace from the four major academies.

The two people recommended by Xinlu Academy were Baiyunlou and Xiaopangzi. The other three major academies also recommended two people each, making a total of one hundred and eight.

Among the four major academies, Xinlu Academy and Kyoto Academy have inner courtyards and inner palaces, which occupy a place in the world of cultivation. The other two academies are specially designed for teaching in the mortal world and are equally famous in Daxia Kingdom.

The students who came to participate in the palace examination were not only outstanding in poetry and prose, but also had special skills.

Because the palace examination of Daxia Kingdom not only tests the students' understanding and perception of current affairs, but also allows them to show their grace beyond poetry.

The entrance of the two people from Baiyun Tower attracted the attention of many students, and several of them even came forward to greet them.

After asking, I learned that the three students in front of me were all previous students of the academy, and after all, they were senior brothers and sisters from Baiyun Tower.

These two senior brothers and one senior sister continued to study hard on their own after finishing classes in the academy. Finally, they showed what they had learned in this examination and entered the threshold of the palace examination.

Chatted with three senior brothers and sisters for a few words,

Baiyun Tower immediately felt like a spring breeze. They were all people who had read poetry and books. Their speech and behavior were neither humble nor arrogant, but generous.

As soon as I thought about it, I could see the movements of Baiyun Tower, and my eyes couldn't help but blurry. The popularity of this royal courtyard was extremely high, and the luck above everyone's head was churning.

At this moment, Baiyunlou, who was once again connected to the aura of the human world, had a deeper understanding of the way of destiny.

The palace examination is the opportunity for these students. At this time, the luck above the students' heads is like carps churning upstream, striving to swim upstream.

Looking at these signs of churning luck, it seems that everyone has the opportunity to jump into the dragon gate.

However, this time, Baiyun Tower saw something different from these signs of luck.

Variables are still everywhere, but general trends are looming.

Wherever Baiyunlou looked, he seemed to see erudition and broad-mindedness.

While he was feeling emotional, the senior brother named Chen Lan in front of him said with emotion: "Nowadays, things are changing. Senior brother, I have also been filled with emotions during this period. I plan to stop studying hard after the examination, no matter how the assessment is, and instead of If you study hard all day long, why not do something practical for Daxia..."

Another senior brother surnamed Zhao on the side joked: "Unexpectedly, Brother Chen was a blockbuster and won the first place in the general examination. The Imperial College has probably targeted Brother Chen. If he really wants to enter the Imperial College, he will probably have to continue to study hard and do the best. A lifetime of learning.”

"Actually, it was Chen's lifelong wish to enter the Imperial College. However, in recent months, after observing and investigating Chaoyang chambers of commerce in various places, especially after reading various issues of Chaoyang Yibao, it really opened his eyes and allowed him to see the world. …”

As soon as Chen Lan said this, a drum sound suddenly sounded.

The examination room is like a battlefield. People move at the sound of drums. This is the opening of the door to the palace examination.

As the drum beats sounded, in Baiyunlou's eyes, the luck above the heads of the students was rising steadily, and the luck above senior brother Chen Lan in front of him also became more solid.

Although he did not hear the second half of Senior Brother Chen's emotional words, Baiyunlou already understood that this Senior Brother had an extraordinary insight after his eyes were opened, and this insight may be very suitable for this palace examination, and this is how he got his luck. Solid image.

Finding the general trend among the variables is Baiyunlou's understanding of the destiny after refining his own qi.

"Enter the palace." As soon as the drum sound fell, a heart-stirring and joyful voice came.

He turned out to be the lord of the country, worthy of being today’s examiner. Baiyun Tower secretly praised him and followed in line behind the students.

Today, the middle door of the Daxia Imperial Palace is wide open to welcome the students who come for the palace examination.

Hundreds of officials stood on both sides of the White Jade Avenue, watching the students enter the palace examination room, demonstrating the great Xia Kingdom's emphasis on talent and learning.

The examination room for the palace examination is located in front of the main hall of the palace. The students passed through the two main halls and the large square, and finally arrived at the main hall examination room.

Tables and desks have been neatly arranged in the square in front of the hall, and all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones are available.

Although the sun is blazing in the sky, it is protected by a magic circle. There is no feeling of heat in the whole square, and there is even a cool breeze to refresh the mind.

Emperor Xia stood on the high steps of the main hall, with ministers standing behind him. There was a big drum next to him, which was very eye-catching.

Seeing Emperor Xia's appearance for the first time, Baiyunlou couldn't help but take a closer look. He was indeed majestic and majestic.

All the students saluted in unison. Seeing the magnanimity of this class of students, Emperor Xia was very satisfied and loudly replied: "No courtesy!"

"Take a seat, open the book, the time limit is two hours..." A minister came out and loudly read out the rules and precepts of the palace examination.

After the students were looking for cases and sat down for a few times, Emperor Xia seemed to be interested and said loudly: "Now that the Great Xia Kingdom is in its golden age again, it is the time to employ people. You are all our talented people in Great Xia, so that Great Xia can continue its glory." , it is your duty to do so."

"The title of the Imperial Examination Policy Question has been printed on your desks. Before writing, I would like to share a few words of encouragement with you students."

"Today's policy question is not only asked by me, but also by all the ministers and people in the world."

Hearing these words, the students in the audience couldn't help but feel excited, and felt a surge of pride in their chests.

Suddenly, Baiyunlou stood up before committing suicide and bowed again to salute. Infected by this, all the students stood up.

This gift is sincere.

The Lord of the country is a man of benefit to the people of the world, so he should receive this gift.

On the high platform, Emperor Xia smiled freely, picked up the drumsticks from one side, and said loudly: "Beat the drums for your ambition."

"Dong dong dong..." Three powerful drum sounds came out, which immediately aroused the enthusiasm of all the students. The luck above their heads trembled, vibrating in harmony with the drum sounds.

As soon as the drum sound fell, the students sat down one after another, unfolded their scrolls and started writing.
