audience hall
Transparent lights, 33 volumes, 243 volumes, finally classified.
Tong Shan looked at the last stack and then at the invigilator, calmed down, and said, "Please grant the imperial decree to fill out the list
Everyone then bowed together before taking out the blank imperial edict from the golden plate.
This edict is specially made, with a long green scroll that is five feet long and three feet wide. It can be slowly unfolded to write nearly 243 names.
Tong Shan washed his hands, bowed, stood upright again, picked up his pen, and inscribed his name on it one by one. These are all the names of fellow Jinshi.
After finishing writing, Fan Shan's face was solemn as he said, "Quickly hand over the two edicts to the Grand Secretariat for the emperor to review and seal
This is the program, and immediately someone responded and took the imperial edict into the office.
In just half an hour, a decree came: "The Grand Secretary Tong Shan will see you immediately
Tong Shan knelt down and took over, then immediately walked from the imperial city towards the inner city. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the entrance of the inner city and saw a first-class guard standing steadily on the stone steps. This person was wearing armor and standing steadily in front of the steps. Seeing Tong Shan approaching, he said in a low voice, "I'm good at welcoming you to the East Warm Pavilion
Tong Shan is a grand scholar, so there is no need to bow down on this occasion. He bowed deeply and said, "Yes, I have been ordered
The guards led them in and walked straight through the corridor. When they reached the front of the palace on one side, Tong Shan stopped and reported. After a moment, there was a voice saying, "Come in
Tong Shan went in, bowed and saluted. After getting up, he saw the emperor dressed in black fox skin satin, with a tired look on his face and dark circles under his eyes. He was looking at the purple imperial edict in the previous roll, surrounded by the blue imperial edict in the next roll. However, he adjusted his ranking and transcribed it again.
After a long while, the emperor sighed and said, "Let's discuss the thirty-three places on these two lists again. The rankings need to be revised. The two hundred and forty-three places on these three lists have been decided like this. Let's use the imperial seal
This was not spoken to Tong Shan, only someone responded, 'Yes!'
But it was the eunuch in charge of the imperial seal who took out the jade seal. The emperor took it over and pressed a decree, then sent it to Tong Shan: "You did a good job on this task, let's start with this list
I obey the decree! "Tong Shan responded, holding a scroll of imperial decree.
After leaving the door, Tong Shancai unfolded the imperial edict, and the first place was Yu Fan. Tong Shan couldn't help but be stunned, as it was obvious that the emperor had adjusted his ranking.
Tong Shan just took a glance at this and secretly thought about the top 33 in the first volume. Although the emperor has the right to revise the ranking, it is generally not the case. Why did he need to revise it this time?
Did it delay the release of the rankings?
After thinking for a moment, I couldn't figure it out and could only sigh, "The will of heaven is unpredictable
Gonghu Lake
The sky was gloomy, and in early spring, the mist filled the air. Soon, the silence was broken by the boiling of voices.
Today is the day of the opening of the rankings. Ju Zi went in groups to see the imperial rankings, feeling anxious and hopeful. Although on the surface, everyone tried their best to remain calm.
Ye Qing stood up and sensed the purple energy towards the east sky. He was born in all weather conditions and had only made a few mistakes in exams.
A moment later, a smell of beef Congee came from the kitchen, and Ye Qing smiled knowingly.
While they were stewing Congee, they also played a series of fists. Xiaowu Classics entered the Taoism with martial arts, and they were very particular about maintaining physical function.
Fu Chengshan pushed open the covered courtyard door and saw his jumping figure. His expression suddenly became strange. He patiently waited until the ceremony was over before asking, "Are you really not going
Ye Qing adjusted her breath, opened her eyes, and invited him in: 'It's useless to go there.'
It's not like that. Even if someone reports good news, seeing it with one's own eyes always brings peace of mind, at least no regrets... "Fu Chengshan followed into the house and suddenly realized that he was a bit discouraged, so he didn't say anything more.
As we became more and more familiar with each other, I saw two women preparing dishes on the table. Without hesitation, I sat down and praised, "Your cooking is getting better and better, the taste of what I make in my room is just
"Hey, you shameless guy, I haven't invited you to eat..." Ye Qing took the porridge bowl given by Jiang Zinan and despised it.
Given the importance of mutual benefit, Fu Chengshan didn't care about it and picked up his chopsticks to use them.
I thought Brother Ye was drunk last night, but was he serious? I specifically asked them to go first, so I ran over to take a look
Ye Qing knew he meant well and thought for a moment, his tone somewhat mysterious: "It's hard to say about the other brothers, but Brother Fu doesn't need to make a wasted trip
How come you ran away for nothing... "Fu Chengshan suddenly realized and thought for a moment before stopping." It's okay, I want to see if you can calculate accurately
Ye Qing nodded and gestured for the two women to tidy up the leftover plates before chatting.
The sun rose, and the sound of gongs, drums, and good news in the imperial court was incessant. Both of them turned a deaf ear and carefully discussed their articles. Jiang Zinan and Zhou Ling came over to add tea, and they secretly admired it.
At noon, Kong Zhi, Chu Yan, and Tang Zhongchen entered. Although they were all calm, they couldn't hide their joy. Ye Qing smiled and said, "The three of you must have been on the green list. Congratulations
I know why Brother Ye isn't going! "Chu Yan spoke quickly and let out his mind:" So this time, only the same jinshi was announced in the youth list, but there were 243, the most in years, and many people were accepted
I just didn't see the two successful candidates at all. I was stunned on the square at that time. There was no such thing in previous years
At this point, Kong Zhi gave Chu Yan a fierce glance, and Chu Yan immediately woke up and quickly remedied, "But Brother Fu and Brother Ye must be on both lists
Fu Chengshan thought for a moment and couldn't figure it out, but he gave a bitter smile and said, "I understand what Brother Ye means. To be honest, if I want to become a fellow jinshi, I will not give up. If I were to become a second ranked jinshi, I don't have the confidence yet
The three of them looked at each other, all of whom had passed the imperial examination. However, after searching ten times on the youth list, they couldn't find Ye Qing and Fu Chengshan. At this moment, the room became somewhat silent and awkward.
Before long, the three of them resigned. Tang Zhongchen had a tough personality and couldn't help but say in the end, "We have all seen the talents of Brother Fu and Brother Ye. How many of them are within reach of the seven thousand candidates? They must be on the two lists. Just be patient and wait
Fu Chengshan knew it was a good intention and smiled, "Thank you for your kind words
When the three of them left and there were only two people left at the door, Fu Chengshan couldn't hide his bitter smile and said, "That's right, but emotions are difficult. I have a clear idea in my heart. I have achieved the level of 40-50 in this exam, but it may be a bit difficult to enter the two rankings - Brother Ye, if you take a chance, I'm sure you can pass
Ye Qing saw that Fu Chengshan had no intention of chatting now, so she bowed and said, "How could the two lists disappear? They will be posted on their own. Brother Fu, please wait for good news
Thank you for your kind words. "I bid farewell and went back to my room alone, sitting down to read and rest.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Jiang Zinan went out to inquire once. When he returned, he angrily reported, "Yu Fan has become the top scholar among the Tongjinshi. Why is that
Does he have such strength? "Ye Qing chuckled. In fact, in his previous life, Yu Fan passed the imperial examination and was ranked among the 33rd.
This competition is fierce, and Ye Qing has taken away some of his luck, so it is normal for him to be ranked first among fellow jinshi.
Ye Qing continued reading, listening to their whispering and occasionally commenting.
In the afternoon, there was no good news of admission yet.
As the sun set and the curtain gradually rose, Ye Qing finished flipping through the last page and looked at the sky. There was already some ink on the azure sky, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Seeing that night is about to fall... will it be this late
Jiang Zinan's mind was anxious, but he just clenched his hand in his sleeve and looked carefully, "Maybe it's a bit late, it's not like the two rankings won't open today
Ye Qing didn't make a sound. When she went out, she looked around and saw that some courtyards by Gonghu Lake had already been covered with wedding cloth and set off firecrackers. The servants coming and going were holding tables, obviously holding banquets.
More courtyards remain silent and peaceful, it's a mix of joy and sorrow for several families.
Or perhaps it's too unconventional to make it onto the list... "I thought to myself, turning my head to see their gaze.
Jiang Zinan could still conceal her joy, but Zhou Ling's expression was uncertain, wanting to say something but afraid to do so.
Ye Qing suddenly woke up, moved and more alert - the more critical it is, the more the head of his family cannot fall.
He tapped the book twice on their foreheads and said, 'What are you thinking about? How could you, young master, easily fail like this?'
The two of them held their heads and let out a low moan, feeling a bit embarrassed and angry, but also somewhat relieved.
It's just that this step won't work out... If we miss the opportunity, the plan will change drastically, and it will be even more difficult in the future, "Ye Qing thought, still frowning.
How could that be? Young master, there is still a chance in the next term
Ye Qing shook his head in silence, which they didn't understand, but he was very clear about it - in theory, if he passed the imperial examination and became a juren, he was only one step away from becoming a jinshi, and there was still one chance before the great tribulation.
Just this time it didn't hit, the further back we go, the more our advantage of rebirth will be flattened. If we can't consolidate our business ahead of time in the first three years of this disaster, it may become increasingly difficult in the future.
However, even so, people still have to face reality and survive... Thinking about it, suddenly hearing the laughter outside pause and a cry of surprise: "Look, what is that
Reflecting the last ray of golden light in the setting sun, dozens of blue stars fell into the city, accompanied by streams of blue light, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Is this... a meteorite? "Ye Qing frowned and was thinking when a" silk "sound suddenly came from the air, and a faint shadow that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye appeared in the courtyard.
Amidst the flapping sound of wings, a green bird appeared holding a document.
I saw the green bird glance at Zhou Ling's long sword, its spirit flashing with disdain. With a flick of its beak, an invitation fell on Ye Qing's hand, reflecting: Ye Qing, Pingshou County, Nancang County, Yingzhou. On February 21st, a dinner party will be held at Qionghu Daoist Temple in the north of the city. Please attend the banquet on time.
Tomorrow night? Qionghu... "I suddenly realized," Qionghu Banquet, this is not the annual Jinshi Banquet
Jiu! "The green bird let out a joyful cry, rubbed against Ye Qing twice, but didn't leave. Looking around, it suddenly spoke up," Congratulations to the officials, high school two ranking Jinshi, congratulations to the officials, high school two ranking Jinshi
It could only say these two sentences, repeatedly and impatiently flapping its wings. Jiang Zinan woke up and cleverly ran to get food, but the green bird looked up disdainfully.
Until he pulled out a small jar of strong liquor, the green bird smelled it and plunged into the jar like an alcoholic, completely disappearing, only listening to the sizzling pecking and sucking.
At this moment, I heard the voices running outside, and someone knocked on the gong and shouted, "Congratulations to Ye Qingye, the official high school candidate who passed the second list and ranked second
