    The emperor was reviewing the test papers of the candidates at the Jinluang Temple, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Ritual, Hongyousiqing and several cabinet scholars were all on the list.

    Although the test papers were corrected by several people, if the emperor had any questions, he would still ask them for questions.

    Several people were very nervous, and the one who was the most nervous was Honghesiqing.

    Of course, all the test papers presented to your Majesty cannot be clean. There are a few candidates who are deliberately promoted by their parties. Of course, they are not bad in terms of strength, and those who are too bad will not be able to pass the palace exam.

    I was afraid that the emperor would not agree with each other, so he was picked out and eliminated, and re-selected from the examination papers after the 20th place. This kind of situation is rare, but it is not unheard of.

    After the emperor finishes reading a test paper, if it is placed on the right, it means it is passed and can be kept; if it is placed on the left, it means there is disagreement.

    The dissenting test papers basically miss the top one, but generally do not fall into the top three.

    The emperor has finished reading ten test papers, and has not yet failed to fail.

    The weather is good today, and in the imperial study room is quiet, only a ribbon of warm spring breeze is slowly blowing from outside the door.

    A corner of the examination paper was blown, and Grandpa Wei hurriedly took a topaz and brave paperweight to hold down the examination paper.

    The emperor didn't look up, but he was very helpful to Grandpa Wei's care, and he was indeed an old man who had been with him for many years.

    The emperor gave a low cough, and Duke Wei hurriedly offered a cup of hot tea.

    Look, even the tea temperature is just right.

    "Your Majesty, you have been reviewing it all morning. Let's take a break." Li Shangshu worriedly persuaded, "The dragon body is important."

    "I'm okay." It's just a bit of irritation. It's not good to be an emperor, and even the slightest disturbance will make people turn their backs, so he doesn't like to admit that he is unwell.

    The emperor took a sip of tea and continued to review the test papers. He had just finished reviewing the test papers of Yuan Yu and Jiangnan talent Ning Zhiyuan. At present, the two of them can rank in the top three.

    The overall strength of candidates in this sector is better than those of the previous palace exams, and the choice is a lot more difficult.

    Hongyousiqing was one of the people who moved his hands and feet on the test paper. He knew that the emperor was about to review Xiao Liulang's test paper. Xiao Liulang's test paper did not score very high, and he was behind the top twenty cranes.

    This is of course for a reason. He "written" the words of great rebellion, and the reason why he still put him in is because he is the Huiyuan, and the Huiyuan will not fall. This is a customary rule, even if you want to fall. Before they come, the emperor will do it himself.

    Everything is so seamless.

    Honghusiqing's gaze has been fixed on the second examination paper.

    After the emperor changed Song Ping's examination paper, he was dissatisfied and placed it on the left.

    Li Shangshu's heart sank, Song Ping was his protégé, and it seemed that he was out of play.

    The emperor raised his hand to take an examination paper. This is an examination paper for an examinee named Zhu Guangmao. It is a poor student with no background. His performance in Chunwei is not too outstanding, and his ranking in the township examination is only a dozen in the local area. Any partisan interest.

    After changing his, it should be Xiao Liulang's.

    Hongyousiqing's heart all mentioned his throat, although there should be nothing wrong with it, but after all he did something wrong, he was a little guilty, and he wondered what if the emperor recognized that it was not Xiao Liulang's handwriting?

    In fact, this word is really well imitated, I'm afraid Xiao Liulang himself may not be able to tell at a glance that it is an imitation. Of course, the emperor has no way of discovering it.

    When Honghusiqing was nervous, an eunuch's report suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhuang, please see me."

    Hongyousiqing moved his gaze away from Xiao Liulang's examination paper, and looked at the door.

    Why did Mr. Zhuang come here at this time?

    The emperor put back the test paper that he had just picked up, and said to the door: "Xuan."

    "Yes." The eunuch replied, "Your Majesty Xuanzhuang Taifu met—"

    Gonggong Wei squeezed his eyebrows. This is a newly appointed eunuch. He was promoted, and his affairs were too good. Your Majesty didn't have so many rules before.

    What's the announcement? Just let in.

    Taifu Zhuang was also stunned. He originally planned to walk in frankly and hand in a blessing, but the new eunuch made the scene so formal that he got into the imperial study and knelt down for the emperor. present.

    The emperor faintly waved his hand and motioned to Taifu Zhuang to flatten himself: "What's the matter with Taifu?"

    The ministers also saluted Mrs. Zhuang.

    After Taifu Zhuang gave his hand in response, he looked at the emperor and said with a serious face: "The minister has something to tell."

    "Now?" His Majesty looked at him.

    "Yes." Mrs. Zhuang handed over.

    Li Shangshu said wittily: "The minister and others will retire first."

    "Yeah." The emperor agreed.

    Li Shangshu and others went out of the imperial study room and did not go far, so they used tea in a nearby side hall.

    The emperor's gaze fell on Taifu Zhuang's face again: "What's so hurried? Can't you wait for me to finish reviewing the exam papers?"

    Mrs. Zhuang scanned the examination papers on the table without a trace, and he secretly relieved when he saw that Xiao Liulang's was the second one that was about to be corrected.

    He stepped forward and said: "On the way back, the minister suddenly remembered that it would be the Queen Mother's birthday a few days later. The minister... boldly went to the palace to visit the Queen Mother."

    The emperor had a pause, put down his royal pen, looked down, and drank a sip of tea. Fang looked at Taifu Zhuang and said, "The queen mother is not in good health. People go to the palace to see if the queen mother is getting better, and then inform the Tai Fu."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Taifu Zhuang gave a deep blessing, and in a moment of getting up, she accidentally touched the examination papers on the table. A stack of examination papers hit the emperor's teacup, the teacup fell, and the examination papers were also overturned to the ground.

    "Damn it!" He knelt down to plead guilty, and hurriedly picked up the test papers.

    Duke Wei hurried to check if the emperor had been scalded by the tea, and the emperor lowered his head and brushed the water droplets on his body.

    Taking advantage of the two of them being unprepared, Taifu Zhuang hid Xiao Liulang's test paper in his left sleeve, and took out Xiao Liulang's original paper from his right sleeve and sandwiched it in the test paper.

    ...

    After leaving the palace, Mrs. Zhuang saw Xuan Pinghou with his hands in his warm hands.

    It's April, and don't know how this person still uses this kind of thing.

    Xuanping Hou’s eyebrows were cold, and his temperament was deep, but the moment Taifu Zhuang walked over his eyebrows picked up his brows very recklessly: "Oh, Taifu walks very fast, and the sword is not old."

    Mrs. Zhuang was so angry that his throat was blocked, and he couldn't get up or down: "I have put the test paper back, you don't hurry up and let the county king!"

    "Let it go." Xuan Pinghou turned his head and said with a whisper, "Chang Jing."

    Chang Jing directly threw King An from the carriage -

    Mrs. Zhuang: "..."

    The dealer's coachman was also released, and he hurriedly carried King An to his carriage. King An was injured and his leg was bloody.

    Mrs. Zhuang's fists rattled.

    Xuan Pinghou said, "Hurry up and heal, do you want him to become lame? Tsk tsk tsk, how do you say you are a grandfather? You don't care about your grandson at all."

    Mrs. Zhuang almost exploded on the spot.

    Do you have no idea why my grandson was hurt? How do you have the face to say such a thing?

    So angry! This guy is really angry at the old man!

    "Huh, do you think he can definitely get the first place in this way?" Taifu Zhuang had read Xiao Liulang's test paper, and honestly, he didn't do much.

    But unfortunately, the policy issue this time was discussed with King Anjun as early as Chen Guoshi. At that time, King Anjun didn’t know that the imperial examination would raise similar topics. He was just listening to Guojun Chen talking about Anbang’s governance. The way.

    Xiao Liulang is indeed a man of real talent and learning. He is brilliant in writing, has something to say, and quotes classics, which is convincing. However, he is not a true politician after all, and he is not as experienced as a prince in governing a country.

    Therefore, what Hongyousiqing said is true. The two test papers are indeed equally equal. Moreover, the test papers of Jiangnan talents Ning Zhiyuan and Yuan Shoufu are also very good.

    Even if your Majesty doesn't uphold the dealer, wouldn't he also uphold Yuan Shoufu? Yuan Shoufu is the veteran of the three dynasties.

    Taifu Zhuang snorted coldly: "Don't be too happy, the champion may not belong to that kid!"

    Xuanping Hou looked calm: "If you don't listen, you won't listen, the eighth man recites the scriptures."

    Mrs. Zhuang: "......!!!"

    You are the bastard!

    Who the hell is this!

    Mrs. Zhuang could not stay longer, and he would live a short life if he stayed any longer.

    Mrs. Zhuang walked away!

    Xuan Pinghou tilted his head and curled his lips: "Go slowly, don't send it."

    In the imperial library at this time, the emperor was indeed hesitant about how to rank the top three. Taifu Zhuang had been loyal to the emperor for many years, and he still had a certain understanding of the emperor. From the perspective of the depth of the article, the examination paper of King An was the most thought-provoking. From the perspective of the pattern of literary talent and an examinee, Xiao Liulang's is even more pleasing to the emperor; the examination papers of Ke Ning Zhiyuan and Yuan Yu are not bad.

    Among the four, the youngest is Xiao Liulang, eighteen this year, the nineteenth king of Anjun, twenty-five Yuan Yu, and Ning Zhiyuan the oldest, thirty.

    As for the background, Ning Zhiyuan and Xiao Liulang came from a poor family, while King An and Yuan Yu came from a high school.

    Oh, by the way, Xiao Liulang is the little cripple, isn't it?

    Thinking of the crutch he saw, the emperor frowned.

    ...

    All examinees and their families in Beijing have started a long and anxious day waiting for their results. Although everyone is basically a Jinshi, the worst is the same Jinshi, but no one is willing to really be the same Jinshi.

    The incense of Puji Temple is flourishing again, and it is said that all examinees came to pay their respects.

    In Bishui Hutong, if the whole family seems to have nothing to do, all of them can't sit still.

    The old lady didn't steal the candied fruit, and didn't play the leaf card anymore. Every day she instructed the old Jijiu to buy skewers on the street, in fact, to inquire about the news.

    Yao stopped making dim sum these days, and went to the neighbourhood to slam the door at dawn. In fact, he was also waiting for news.

    Xiaojingkong has been studying very hard in recent days. He always worried that the bad brother-in-law would not be able to pass the exam, so the family still had to rely on him.

    When he grows up, he will give Jiaojiao a top pick and come back!

    The list was released on April 27, because the list of scholars is written on yellow paper, so it is also called the gold list.

    Gongshi cannot wait for notice at home. They must enter the palace to accept the canonization. After they have canonized, they will be listed in the big yamen and Gongyuan in the capital.

    On the fifth shift, Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang got up. The two had a simple breakfast, and Gu Jiao sent Xiao Liulang into Liu Quan's carriage.

    "It's too early to put on the list, don't wait." Xiao Liulang said to Gu Jiao.

    "Well, good." Gu Jiao nodded.

    Xiao Liulang put down the curtain, thinking of something, and opened the curtain again.

    Gu Jiao looked at him: "What's the matter?"

    Xiao Liulang hesitated to say, "It's nothing, it's still early, you can go to bed for a while."

    Gu Jiao smiled: "Okay."

    Xiao Liulang glanced at her, but in the end he didn't say anything. He put down the curtain and rode a carriage to the palace.

    The tributes were almost here, as were Feng Lin, Lin Chengye, and Du Ruohan.

    Feng Lin also didn't know if he was too nervous during the palace exam, and he got sick after returning. It is really fortunate that Lin Chengye and Director Zhou took care of him and made him survive the illness.

    It was said that some people could not afford to be sick and even lost their lives, so the road of imperial examination was not so easy.

    Feng Lin's face was still pale when he recovered from his serious illness.

    Several people exchanged greetings, and there was a sudden commotion behind the crowd, and then King An was seen walking over with the help of several servants.

    "Huh?" Du Ruohan stared strangely, "Why is his leg lame?"

    Xiao Liulang was also quite surprised. He glanced at the other person, and it happened that Junwang An was also looking at him, and his eyes met. Xiao Liulang clearly felt a hint of coldness in Junwang's eyes.

    Xiao Liulang didn't know, so he didn't take it to heart.

    It doesn't matter if he is an insignificant person, what does it matter whether he likes himself or hates himself?

    The group of people still entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the order of the test quotation marks. The table and cushions in the palace examination have been removed. The hall is open and simple, and it is particularly exceptional due to the presence of the emperor, Taifu Zhuang, Yuan Shoufu and other cabinet ministers. Solemnly.

    Under the leadership of the salute officer, the group bowed to the emperor. After that, Gonggong Wei presented the roster to the emperor.

    The distance between the candidates and the emperor is about one foot, but in fact it is still a little far away. Some people have the courage to see the true face of the emperor, but before they look up, they are shocked by the emperor's coercion and breathless.

    The emperor didn't like to engage in those gimmicks, so he immediately began to read the top three of the top three.

    "Gongzhou Yaocheng candidate Ning Zhiyuan, the third place in the first grade of Jinshi in April of the Gengwu year, and the Jinshi and the first."

    Ning Zhiyuan was stunned, and the candidates were shocked. This, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this is going to explore Hualang?

    "Cough!" Ning Zhiyuan winked at the eunuch beside him.

    Ning Zhiyuan quickly returned to his senses, stepped sideways, walked to the front of the emperor, stopped at the designated place, opened his clothes, performed three prostrations and nine prayers, and said in a choked voice: "Chen, Ning Zhiyuan, thank the emperor! Long live my emperor long live long live long live!"

    The emperor made him flat, and then read: "In the April 1st Jia Jinshi of the Gengwu year, Zhuang Yuheng, bestow Jinshi and the second place."

    Everyone looked at King An with a scowl.

    Gun King An is... the second place?

    Something unexpected.

    A trace of disappointment flashed in the heart of King An. He dragged his injured leg and came to the imperial front under the envious or surprised gaze of everyone. He also knelt down three prostrations and nine prayers: "Chen, Zhuang Yuheng, proclaim the emperor.Hmm! My emperor... Long live long live long live long live!"

    The emperor glanced at King An and said nothing.

    Next is the champion.

    The emperor’s gaze stayed for a while on Yuan Shoufu’s grandson Yuan Yu, then opened the roster and said loudly: "April in the year of Gengwu, the first scholar in the first class, Xiao Liulang!"
