Datang: I was overheard by the Empress

Chapter 212 Chicken!
In the Ziwei Palace, the hundred new subjects are still in two rows on the left and right, but in this case, it is possible to see the pros and cons of the rankings in the imperial examinations.

The higher the exam, the higher the standing will naturally be, and the more attention the Empress will be able to attract!
"Your Majesty, I will pay my respects to you. Long live Your Majesty!"

After entering the Ziwei Palace, hundreds of Jinshi stood still, and then immediately bowed to the empress to salute. Although Jinshi is not an official position,

But with a Jinshi, naturally you are not afraid of not being an official, so the title at this time can already be used as a minister!
As Di Ping'an is the number one scholar, this rule cannot be omitted, and he also needs to behave in a standard manner, with a pious posture and a polite attitude!
"Everyone is flat!"

The empress said loudly, looking at the hundred Jinshi below, the empress couldn't help but smile at the moment,

Although the time for imperial examination selection is not very long, it is especially important for emperors.
Because the reason why these Jinshi can become officials is all thanks to the emperor's kindness, so these candidates are also called disciples of the emperor!
Although these Jinshi are still very small and weak now, if they wait ten or twenty years, they will develop into a very strong force,

And the controller of this power is no longer a powerful clan, nor is it a thousand-year-old family, but directly belongs to the emperor!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The hundred Jinshi thanked them first, and then stood up straight in unison.

The female emperor's gaze was also directed towards Chinese and military officials, and she began to scrutinize these Jinshi immediately!

The eyes of all the officials flickered, but they didn't whisper. This is the Ziwei Palace, not the streets, so they dare not speak casually.
Otherwise, I'm afraid some people don't know which sentence they said wrong, and how the catastrophe is imminent!
……

Above the throne, Her Majesty the Empress was smiling, looking at the hundred Jinshi in the Ziwei Hall, the Empress really felt like a hero from all over the world entered me, and I nurtured all the talents in the world!
"My dear friends, you have all worked hard. You have passed the imperial examination and won the gold list to be able to stand in this Tai Chi Hall. It's hard work, and ten years of hard work is not enough!"

The empress spoke slowly, her voice was soft but deep:
"But since you are famous on the gold list, you will become officials of my Tang Dynasty from today onwards. I hope that after you become officials, no matter where you are, you can always remember the eight characters. That is to be upright and serve the country and the people. !"

"I will remember His Majesty's teachings firmly, and dare not forget them for the rest of my life!"

In the Palace of Ziwei, hundreds of Jinshi immediately bowed to answer again, regardless of how these Jinshi will be officials in the future, at this moment, almost everyone has firmly remembered the eight words of the empress in their hearts!
"Very good, I can rest assured with the words of the gentlemen!"

The empress smiled faintly, and then said in a deep voice:

"Today, all the ministers are going to the palace. I have two things. One is to see the demeanor of the ministers, and the other is to test the talents of the ministers!"

After the empress finished speaking, the crowd didn't have much doubts. Today's palace test was known to all Jinshi long ago.
It's just that my heart is still a little bit rough, because I don't know what the Empress is going to test in the imperial examination today!
The empress sits high on the dragon chair, with peerless elegance and unparalleled heroism, she gently waved her hand,
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er, who had returned to the empress's side, immediately grabbed a thin rope at hand and pulled it.
Then I saw a three-foot banner directly erected on the left side of Ziwei Hall, and this three-foot banner has only a big character on it!
chicken!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, could it be that the chicken character on this banner is the test question of Her Majesty the Empress, but this test question does seem a bit weird!

When Di Pingan saw the chicken character, he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help feeling suspicious!

[What do you mean, write a chicken? 】

[Could it be that there are 81 ways to "roast" our chicken, it shouldn't be so boring! 】

Hearing Di Ping'an's heartfelt complaints, the smile on the empress's face froze for a moment!

I can't wait to grab Di Ping'an and spank him on the spot.
The ghost is going to test your nine-nine-eight-one method of chicken!

But are there 81 ways to make chicken?

When will this kid show his hands?

……

The banner has been fully exposed, and the female emperor suddenly said in a deep voice:

"Today's palace examination, use this word as the topic, write a poem, to test the talents and learning of all the ministers, come and light incense!"

Shangguan Wan'er immediately took the order and lit a stick of incense!
"With this incense stick as the limit, all the gentlemen can start now!"

The empress said with a smile, her eyes lingered on the hundred Jinshi in the Ziwei Palace, but her peripheral vision fell on the civil and military officials on the left and right sides!

In order for this imperial examination to be held smoothly, Wu Zetian can be said to have taken great pains. Not only did he call many great Confucian scholars from the Guozijian to come out with the test papers,
Even the last question of the imperial examination paper: Passing the Qin Dynasty, Wu Zetian thought hard,
The chicken-chanting question in the palace examination today is also matched by Wu Zetian's left and right thoughts!

Composing a poem with the theme of chicken, this topic can be said to be extreme,
But whoever writes a poem, or sings about people and aspirations, or writes about wind, flowers, snow, moon, mountains, rivers, and rivers, how can there be chickens as the theme?
But this is also a temptation of the Empress,
Wu Zetian, as an emperor, received a lot of criticism from the ruling and opposition parties, but the biggest criticism to Wu Zetian was the rooster in the morning!
These four words have become a thorn in Wu Zetian's heart!

So this Empress simply chose chicken as the subject in this imperial examination, and came up with such an extreme question,

Just to test how much these Jinshi present understand this "chicken"!

As soon as the topic came out, the incense was lit,
All the Jinshi frowned for a while, and began to think hard, using the chicken as the problem. Although the topic was biased, if they had to compose a poem, it was not impossible.
It's just that this is a palace test, do you really think that you can pass it with a simple doggerel?

However, when all Jinshi were frowning and thinking hard, Cheng Qianzong, who was at the end of the entire Jinshi phalanx, was wearing a big red robe, and his eyes lit up!
He has a poem on the subject of chickens!
Cheng Qianzong is a young Taisui in Chang'an, fighting cocks, catching birds and playing crickets, these things are not uncommonly mixed,

Cheng Qianzong had a very brave fighting cock two years ago, at the beginning Cheng Qianzong wanted to write a poem for this fighting cock,

It's just that before the poem was finished, his chicken was stewed by his grandfather Cheng Yaojin!

Cheng Yaojin was not too polite, he was not done eating the fighting cock, and gave his grandson a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots,
Since then, Cheng Qianzong has never dared to play cockfights again. Those two meals were delicious, and Cheng Qianzong will never forget them!

But now, Cheng Qianzong is indeed a blind cat meeting a dead mouse,

Moreover, although his Jinshi has the level of a Jinshi, his ranking is indeed too low, and he definitely does not have an advantage compared to other people.

Rather than being unknown among the poems written by many Jinshi, it is better to stand up first and become a blockbuster!
After making up his mind, Cheng Qianzong suddenly said in a deep voice: "Report to Your Majesty, I present a poem!"
