Chapter 2216
In the morning, the morning light wakes up the capital which has been sleeping for a night, and the streets and alleys are once again restored to their former vitality.
The streets began to be filled with pedestrians, and from time to time there were students in long robes heading for the palace.
Today is the opening day of the imperial examination.
The students who are qualified to take part in the palace examination were informed by the Imperial Palace yesterday.
He told me when to enter the palace and temporarily trained the etiquette after seeing the emperor.
On both sides of the road, there are already intelligent vendors who start to set up stalls.
What they sell are some flattering things, such as auspicious talismans and umbrellas.
As well as the legendary jade pendant that can be carried on the body no matter what you do, and so on.
In a word, it's something that everyone knows can't be used again, but I can't help buying one or two to reassure myself.
After all, this unprecedented imperial examination touched the heart of the whole young people of Da Chen.
Everyone wants to take advantage of this opportunity, carp and Longmen, so that they can change themselves and become the red man in front of his majesty.
It's just a pity that his majesty has no daughter now. If he has, he will be regarded as his son-in-law. He is afraid that his dream can make people laugh.
"Brother Li, why do you want to buy this one? It's not cheap. You can't even afford clothes and shoes. Do you want to buy this kind of thing?"
In front of a small stall, three or five students gathered to laugh at a young man in linen clothes and straw sandals.
In terms of dress, the students in hemp clothes who are regarded as brother Li can't be compared with others.
It's the people who are in trouble.
But even so, he did not feel inferiority for his origin at all. He was indifferent to others' ridicule.
He just bowed to the peddler who bought the talisman and said, "this shopkeeper, your place is the royal official road. In the past, it is strictly forbidden to set up stalls. I advise you to close the stall as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be good for the royal guards to come later."
When the shop owner heard this, the smiling face that had been piled on his face disappeared immediately. He looked at the young man in hemp clothes and said angrily, "where did you come from? I set up a stall here to commit what you have done. It's cool to stay there and don't piss. Look at yourself. You're dressed in coarse linen. What kind of thing are you?"
"I'm not a thing." The young man in hemp clothes was still indifferent, and his expression was extremely relaxed. He did not see any anger: "I, Li Sen, are just a mediocre commoner."
"But even the common people, I also know what is the law. There is a law in the court that it is not allowed to set up stalls beside the official roads, and there is a special market for people to trade in. Under my persuasion, the shopkeepers still don't want to repent and obviously have violated the law."
Li Sen didn't mean to stop at all. He was still fighting for the truth, and his face was solemn.
A few students beside him laughed at him, and his eyes were full of mockery.
"Li Sen, you talk about degrees. Let me ask you, is law important or human relationship important?"
"Of course, it is the law and the criminal law of the state, which is supreme and can not be blasphemed by anyone!"
"That's good!" The students were still aggressive: "Li Sen, you tell me that if you are selected by your Majesty in this imperial examination to govern the people, your family will be tyrannical and despotic, and they will treat the law as nothing."
"If you defend the law, you will lose your filial piety, protect your relatives, and you will have no royal law. I also ask you, how do you choose?"
In the face of such difficulties, Li Sen was not afraid at all, and immediately replied: "first of all, I am an orphan, there is no violation of filial piety you said."
"But if it does happen, I will uphold the law, and then I will damage my body and fulfill filial piety and righteousness."
"If a king violates the law, he will commit the same crime as the common people. This is the law. No one should try to challenge the law, otherwise he will be punished."
After saying this, Li Sen's state attracted many people to watch.
The students, who mocked him, turned red. They knew they couldn't say Li Sen, so they left in a hurry.
As for the peddler with a fluke mind, he soon led the royal guards to come and confiscate some things and drive people away.
All this did not stir up any waves in Li Sen's heart. He looked up at the towering palace in the distance, clenched his fists in secret and walked away with great strides!
