The end of the first year of Taichu, December 15th.

It is advisable to travel, get married and worship.

The cold wind blew, the coldness was like a knife.

The last rain fell a few days ago, and the weather was completely entering the middle of winter.

In Changning Imperial City, the first state examination was completely concluded one month before the opening.

Prime Minister Liang Wen and the Academy Priest Zuo Bailu came out to examine the selected candidates personally. After verifying the level of these people, they divided into two subjects of civil and military affairs, and selected 260 scholars from 13 states. Twenty people were selected in one state, who were qualified to participate in the last one located in the imperial city of Changning.

Palace Examination.

The entire Daxia area is vast, with tens of millions of people distributed in all parts of the thirteen states.

However, after the reform, Luoli only received twenty scholars from one state, and they were divided into two subjects of civil and military disciplines.

In other words, those who practice literature and martial arts will eventually be able to enter the highest academic institution in Daxia and be qualified to enter the political center in the years to come. There will only be only ten people in one of the subjects of civil and martial arts!

It is said that thousands of troops are sad to pass the single-wood bridge. The scientific research in Daxia is more than a hundred times more difficult than this single-wood bridge.

It is conceivable how strict it is.

Similarly, those who can pass such strict exams will never be as mediocre.

As long as the appointment is properly, even if they fail the palace examination, these people will eventually be the heroes and pillars of the future Daxia!

Only when the waves wash away the sand can real gold be seen.

In mid-December, it had been a while since the Great Charlotte Emperor returned to the court.

And today is the day when the imperial edict announces the students in the capital to open the palace examination and conduct a scientific examination!

The news spread a few days ago, and the yamen personally passed the news to every state entrance examination student who passed the palace examination to ensure that they would not be absent.

Although this scientific experiment was the first time in Daxia, it was a great grand event with the emperor's personal investigation and extreme attention.

It is said that this palace examination will eventually screen a group again. It is already good if one out of the 260 people who passed the state examination can have one tenth of them left.

Even though this is only the first palace examination, the entire Daxia has the qualifications to participate in the county examination and the number of people participating in it is more than a thousand people?!

It is very difficult to overcome all obstacles and break through three passes in a row to this capital.

If the ancestral tomb is blushed, it will be appreciated by the emperor, and it will be the first place in the palace examination and become famous all over the world...

What a glory that should be!

At this moment, a corner of Changning Imperial City.

In a pavilion.

The maids on both sides have beautiful music and sounds, making people unable to help but want to put their eyes into the past when they hear it.

In this pavilion, Lu Wenshu, dressed in gorgeous clothes, sat on a carefully crafted bamboo chair, and quietly tapped a piece of the chess game on the stone table in front of him.

"Brother Shen, it's your turn."

This young man with a gorgeous blue shirt, red lips, white teeth, and smiled with his eyebrows and eyes. He raised his arms politely and invited him to the handsome man with bright eyes in front of him.

The chess game in front of the two is now complicated and scattered, and it is hard to part with it. If it weren't for those who are well aware of this, they would definitely not have played so anxiously.

The man named Brother Shen by Lu Wenshu was now holding a chess piece, as if thinking about how to break the deadlock.

His eyes were extremely bright, mixed with the seriousness that was rare in ordinary people. Just looking at it is enough to impress people.

Be careful when playing chess and don’t be impatient.

After carefully thinking about the situation, Chen Qiu raised his eyebrows and had an idea.

Pick.

The white sprig fell.

As this son fell, I saw that Bai Zi's layout, which was already in decline and was close to death, was defeated before, turned into magic, and revitalized in an instant.

Seeing this, Lu Wenshu leaned forward slightly, his eyes shrank, and he was a little surprised:

"Good chess!"

"I have been making this game of chess and have been making arrangements since the beginning. It is a word of stability. I want to use the power of the general trend to completely kill you."

"But I don't expect that Brother Chen has a long time ago, and he was able to reverse the situation in his life and completely revitalize it."

"You have found the only way to win, and it seems that the situation has become clear."

"I'm the one who doesn't have a move."

Lu Wenshu frowned and looked for a while, then stretched his brows and sighed softly.

Pulling open the chair, the man slowly stood up.

The young man in the blue shirt picked up the folding fan, raised his head and looked at Chen Qiu, who was smiling on the other side, and then spoke up and said:

"Among the scholars from all states who came to participate in the palace examination this time, just about our liberal arts examination, there are only a few people who can have the talent of the world."

"And among them, there is no one else except Brother Chen."

Lu Wenshu stood up and spoke, talking and laughing, like the spring and white snow.

The person mentioned in his words was still looking straight at the chess game in front of him. After watching for a long time, he looked up and faced Lu Wenshu's smiling gaze, and then he said seriously:

"Brother Lu, chess is like life. Before the last moment, why should you give up easily?"

After saying that, Chen Qiu never responded to Lu Wenshu.

He just raised his slender fingers, pinched the black piece in the chess box, and gently pressed down against a dangerous and almost for free land.

After this boy fell into the game, Chen Qiu continued to mention Bai Zi, and the situation was in danger before, and he strictly guarded the defensive momentum and began to attack with a big blow.

At this time, the young man with the word "seriousness" all over his body played two roles and took charge of black and white chess, which seemed to be in the artistic conception.

Even the young man in blue shirt who spoke to him on one side ignored the past.

Chen Qiu took a few steps, and Lu Wenshu became more and more anxious as he watched the chess game, but there was never a situation where one side lost, and he was a little silenced.

Just as Chen Qiu's words said.

He had originally made the final decision and was sure that there was no hope of turning the tables, but the chess game that had been completely revived.

and...

This move is just as Chen Qiu said.

It was not that he could not have imagined, but that Lu Wenshu's attention and focus were not in this chess game, so he had not observed it clearly.

What if someone who is not in the chess game or who is fully focused, even if the former has better skills?

By the end, the outcome is clear at a glance.

In the pavilion, the two people who were originally fighting changed quietly.

One stands with a fan and observes the situation silently, while the other is focused and explores every step of change.

It was not until the young man went to the end that Bai Zi was finally defeated by Hei Zi that he stood up and apologized to Lu Wenshu:

"Sorry, I just entered the country too deeply, but I ignored Brother Lu."

"I wonder what Brother Lu said when he left the bureau for a stick of incense?"

"I didn't hear it clearly below."

Seeing Chen Qiu lifting his head, Lu Wenshu coughed twice. Just as he was about to praise him with a smile on his face and he heard the man speak the words that were not as fake as if he was pretending to be fake.

After two sentences, Lu Wenshu, who had been rigorously educated in a wealthy family since childhood, broke his achievements on the spot...

His face was a little convulsed, and Lu Wenshu couldn't help but look at Chen Qiu suspiciously.

But when he saw this face full of seriousness and the black eyes of the ancient well without waves, he did not express his original words, but swallowed them back into his stomach.

Then, the young man patted the folding fan, sneered and said:

"Nothing...nothing..."

"It's just that I want to praise Brother Chen for your seriousness."

"You and I play in one game in the morning. It's almost time to participate in the last level of this scientific test, and the palace examination is under the guidance of His Majesty himself."

"I hope that in the end, we can get what we want, give our titles to the golden list and serve our country!"

Lu Wenshu sighed, changed his gentle smile, and expressed some encouraging remarks to Chen Qiu.

This statement is different from the previous win over Chen Qiu, and it also has a bit of hope that he will be selected.

As the heir to the Lu family of Huayang, Yuanzhou, southern China, after the Daxia restructuring, as long as they do not want to become the dust of history, they must keep up with the trend of the times.

In terms of foundation and cultivation, aristocratic families are more than one class than ordinary people.

In addition, Lu Wenshu is a leader in the aristocratic family, and his family background is also prominent in the country and has great knowledge. It is not difficult to stand out in scientific research.

He came from Yuanzhou thousands of miles away. In order to participate in the palace examination, Lu Wenshu accidentally encountered late autumn that was a little different from those mediocre people, so he had some thoughts of making friends.

I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of getting familiar with this scholar named Chen Qiu and support each other.

But after a few days of getting along, looking at him like this, either he didn't want to pay attention to himself or was a completely nerd.
