Chapter 139 Let’s talk about it
The day of the palace examination soon arrived, and the students arrived at the hall early and sat upright waiting.
Obviously, many people were entering the palace for the first time, but no one was curious enough to peek.
At this moment, nothing was as important as the palace examination in their minds.
This is a critical moment that can change their destiny. If they miss it, they will probably regret it for the rest of their lives.
As the emperor arrived, everyone stood up and saluted.
Emperor Jin asked everyone to stand up before sitting down.
The examination papers were distributed to the candidates.
Emperor Jin looked at the people sitting below, his heart filled with hope, as these were the future of their Great Jin.
Emperor Jin sat for a while, then stood up and walked down, standing next to the candidates and watching them write.
In addition to seeing these people's knowledge, he also wanted to see their concentration.
After all, with the king of a country standing next to them, it is not easy for them to remain calm.
Emperor Jin walked over to take a look one by one. When he came to Lu Liangyi, he was amazed by the article written by Lu Liangyi.
Every word is truly brilliant and insightful.
Emperor Jin was unable to move for a moment, and stood beside Lu Liangyi's desk, watching attentively.
Lu Liangyi naturally felt the gaze of Emperor Jin. Instead of being panicked, he was extremely excited.
Anyway, he knew the article by heart and would not make any mistakes.
Emperor Jin's reaction made the other examiners look at each other in bewilderment.
It is very abnormal for Your Majesty to stand next to a candidate for such a long time.
Not to mention that candidate, even other candidates will feel psychological pressure.
Your Majesty, what's going on?
A minister stood up and walked over, wanting to give Emperor Jin a subtle reminder.
Unexpectedly, after taking a look at Lu Liangyi's article, the minister was so attracted that he forgot everything else and stood still.
With the first one, there will be the second and the third...
As Emperor Jin was watching, he suddenly felt something strange around him, so he came to his senses and looked.
Haha, all the examiners gathered around.
What do you want to do?
Emperor Jin gave a dry cough, which startled several examiners back to their senses. After meeting Emperor Jin’s displeased gaze, they hurriedly bowed and left quickly.
Either go back and sit down or continue to wander somewhere else.
It's just that the movements were a little deliberately awkward.
Emperor Jin took a look at Lu Liangyi's article and felt a little regretful because it was not finished yet.
However, he also knew that it was inappropriate for him to continue standing here.
Fortunately, he would be able to see the complete answer sheet soon, so Emperor Jin suppressed his itch and went back to sit down.
When the time to hand in the test papers came, all the test papers were collected. Normally, the candidates could be allowed to go home at this time.
However, Emperor Jin spoke at this time: "It's still early, why not add one more question."
The candidates looked delighted.
One more question means one more opportunity to show off.
Those who can make it to the palace examination are all talented and knowledgeable. Naturally, they want to show off in front of His Majesty and leave some impression on His Majesty. For them, this is a great thing.
Only Lu Liangyi froze after hearing Emperor Jin's words.
Additional test?
When will the palace examination require an additional test?
He is totally unprepared, how can he take the extra test?
Emperor Jin didn't care about their thoughts. He just asked people to hand out papers and then he started to orally state the questions.
Everyone quickly wrote down Jindi's question and then thought about it seriously.
This is a special test by His Majesty, so His Majesty must take it seriously.
Moreover, the topic of this additional test is entirely about how to deal with the current livelihood issues in Dajin.
Everyone else was writing as if they were possessed by a god, but Lu Liangyi was the only one who stared at the test paper in front of him without moving.
He has been reading books for so many years, it is certainly not the case that his mind is empty.
But he couldn't write.
Because he knew the gap between himself and Lu Yunhao.
No matter how he wrote, he could never reach Lu Yunhao's level.
Anyone who sees it can tell that those are the answers for two people.
When everyone was writing furiously, only Lu Liangyi stood still, which was very abrupt.
The examiners looked at each other, with deep confusion in their eyes.
They also looked at Lu Liangyi's test paper just now. Although it was not the full picture, just based on what they saw, they knew how well he answered.
They were even looking forward to Lu Liangyi's answer.
But what does it mean that he doesn't write now?
Lu Liangyi held the pen in his hand, completely unsure how to start writing. He could feel everyone's eyes on him.
He really felt like he had a thorn in his back, but he didn't dare to look up.
It seems that as long as you don’t look up, you don’t have to face it.
Emperor Jin was patient. He looked at Lu Liangyi for a while and then stopped looking at him.
When the papers were collected after a while, the examiner looked at Lu Liangyi's blank paper and didn't know what to say.
The other test papers were put aside, and Emperor Jin picked up Lu Liangyi's blank test paper.
This test paper is really clean. Apart from the questions, there is not a single ink spot on it.
"Lu Liangyi, what do you mean? Are you trying to tell me that we should rule by doing nothing and let nature take its course?" Emperor Jin asked slowly.
"Your Majesty," Lu Liangyi said with a bow, "The topic is too complicated to be explained in a few words, so..."
"You want to tell it directly? Sure. Go ahead and I'm listening." Emperor Jin interrupted Lu Liangyi and said with a smile.
Lu Liangyi choked and became completely panicked.
He thought for a long time before he figured out how to make excuses. As long as he went back, it would be easy for him to find Lu Yunhao.
When the time comes, I will write a very detailed article to Your Majesty.
Who would have thought that His Majesty would say this and ask him to speak orally? He had no ideas at all, so what could he speak?
"This..." Lu Liangyi prepared himself mentally for a long time, but his forced calmness was immediately broken.
How could he remain calm in the face of the emperor's majesty?
What's more, he was already feeling guilty.
Soon, cold sweat soaked the back of his clothes.
The other examiners also looked puzzled.
Lu Liangyi is known for his talent, what happened?
Even if I was nervous in front of His Majesty, it shouldn't be like this.
Lu Liangyi didn't say anything, and the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The passage of time is really extremely unbearable for Lu Liangyi.
He only felt his breathing becoming more and more rapid, his mind was blank, and only his heartbeat like a drum kept ringing.
"Why? Do you need some time to organize your thoughts before you can express them orally?" Emperor Jin's words made Lu Liangyi feel relieved and bowed, "Yes."
Your Majesty's statement is exactly what he meant.
As long as he goes back...
"Come on, tell us in detail about the article you just wrote." Emperor Jin took out the first test paper and made a simple request.
The examiners looked at Lu Liangyi with anticipation; they also wanted to hear Lu Liangyi elaborate on his views.
