Just after the fifth watch, it was dawn, and there were already people waiting outside the Imperial College.
Gradually, more and more people gathered, and many of the elegant and elegant people in the past looked longingly at the empty screen wall, expecting the officials inside to hang up the list as soon as possible.
Gongsun Ce was also inside. He looked at the eager and eager eyes around him and felt a little embarrassed. He secretly regretted that he shouldn't have come, so he asked the book boy Da Zhuang to make a trip and confirm the list.
Fortunately, the release of the results for the Jiefang Examination was not the release of the Provincial Examination, and it was not the turn to catch the son-in-law yet, so in terms of the scene, although there were many people, it was not particularly crowded.
In addition, Gongsun Ce looked around and found that Wang Yaochen, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and other famous talents from the Imperial Academy were all present, not just the book boys, and he felt at ease.
Everyone is nervous! Not just me!
Wang Yaochen, Han Qi and Wen Yanbo also noticed Gongsun Ce. After all, his appearance was very good, and his words that time left a deep impression on them. The key was that he was a good friend.
But looking left and right, he couldn't see that person, and his heart sank.
Could it be that the other party didn't come?
Then I have fallen behind, and I can't stand it anymore. I would have known that I would have sent a boy to look at the results...
Those who were looking for Di Jin were not only these talented men who were preparing to compete, but also people from the palace.
For example, the internal official Zhang Maoze.
Dressed simply and with a delicate appearance, he looked like a scholar's book boy, standing quietly outside, waiting for the announcement of the results.
The copy of Zhao Zhen's words was confiscated by Yan Shu. Fortunately, Wen Mao Hall later sold it, and Zhang Mao was ordered to buy a set and bring it to the palace. Now as long as he doesn't peek in class, Yan Shu doesn't care anymore. After all, the sixteen-year-old boy Emperor, you can't have no entertainment at all.
And Zhao Zhen, who had torn through four volumes of Su Wuming's papers, heard that the Imperial Academy released the results today, so he also asked his personal servant to go out of the palace to read the results, and immediately spread the good news back.
Zhao Zhen's original words were: "I also want to formally meet this talented scholar Di in the palace examination. I must do well in the examination!"
Not to mention the expectations of the officials, Zhang Maoze himself also sincerely hopes that this scholar who can write that life is as big as the sky can be named on the gold medal list, and it is best to be the leader of high school.
But someone on the other side has completely opposite expectations.
"You didn't even come to release the results? Are you too confident, or are you performing abnormally and feeling speechless?"
"It must be the latter!"
"Failed! Failed! Failed!"
The Imperial City Secretary took Jia Xianchun into custody, murmuring in his mouth and praying silently.
During this period, he had a very difficult time and was often scolded by Jiang Deming.
It’s easy to see why. The Imperial City Division used to be very majestic and could not show off in front of Jinshi at most. But military attachés, generals, civilians, and those scholars without fame, who is not afraid of them? Even the powerful relatives are not willing to offend, after all, they are members of the royal family!
As a result, this time, let alone dealing with the disgusting opponent, he failed even to defeat the disgusting opponent, and even lost more than 20 people in vain. In the end, his subordinates were passively disobedient. These people were not good people. Jia Xianchun knew that something was wrong. I didn't dare to push too hard, and then I was scolded by my immediate boss.
Jiang Deming vented his anger on Jia Xianchun. Jia Xianchun had nowhere to vent, so he could only curse silently, and failed directly in the first test of the imperial examination.
If there really is such a gap, even if Di Jin is very young and can come back later, the Imperial City Division will not give him a chance!
"Come out! Come out!"
Looking forward to the turning point, the scholar shouted loudly, and saw the gate of the Imperial College opened, and an examiner came out with several officials.
With the eager anticipation of Zhang Maoze and Jia Xianchun, a huge list was posted.
At first glance, everyone looked at the name at the front.
"The first name in the examination issued by the Imperial College: Di Jin, from Bingzhou, Hedong Road, born in the fourth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, sixteen years old!"
"It's him?"
"Why him?"
"Sure enough, it's him..."
Everyone was in an uproar for a while.
Most of them were puzzled and unwilling, but a few were not surprised.
Wang Yaochen was no exception, but his eyes dimmed for a moment, he calmed down and looked down.
He saw Han Qi, ranked third.
He saw Wen Yanbo, ranked fifth.
But I still didn’t see myself.
After passing the top ten, Wang Yaochen's face had darkened.
Historically, he was the top scorer in this subject, but he did not win three consecutive prizes. This is certain, otherwise the glory would have reached another level. As for the specific rankings in the interpretation test and the provincial test, there is no record.
However, based on normal standards, if this person is not number one, he will be among the best, at least among the top three.
Wang Yaochen also has this confidence.
But now, he is not in the top ten.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were some complimentary titles for those who ranked first in the provincial examination and below, such as Jieyuan. Among them, the second to tenth place were called "Ya Yuan". Of course, in some places, all candidates who passed the provincial examination could receive this title. .
Wang Yaochen didn't know the name Yayuan, but the top ten were on the same level. No matter which dynasty they were in, he was not there now. It was obvious that his performance was seriously abnormal.
It wasn't until the thirteenth place that I finally saw my name appear on the list.
Wang Yaochen closed his eyes and sighed, and a peaceful voice came from beside him: "Brother Boyong?"
Wang Yaochen opened his eyes, looked at Han Qi, and said with a wry smile: "It makes Zhigui laugh. After I finished writing, I knew that my answer was not good this time. There were omissions in both poems and verses, as well as the meanings of scriptures. It’s just a matter of luck after all!”
Han Qi actually felt that he had not performed well, but that was the case with everyone. If the imperial examination was the same as learning in ordinary times, then many famous scholars would not be able to pass the exam, so he comforted him softly.

Wang Yaochen felt much better after being comforted by this student who had not yet reached the championship. On the other hand, Gongsun Ce's expression had changed.
He was first happy that Di Jin ranked first in high school, and then he looked carefully. Not to mention the top ten, he looked at nearly fifty people, but he still didn't see his name.
Gongsun Ce began to sweat on his forehead, swallowed his saliva, and continued to look back.
Look and look and look...
Finally, at the end of the list, ranked third from the bottom, I saw "Gongsun Ce, a native of Luzhou, Huainan Road, born in the second year of Jingde, 22 years old."
He breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly loosened his fisted hands, but after realizing what ranking this was, his face turned red again: "If it weren't for the large quota of the Imperial College, I would have been eliminated in the first exam. Has it been brushed off?"
The Imperial College's quota, that is, the number of people admitted, is the largest in the country. This year, there are a hundred places. The next level is the Kaifeng Prefecture Township Examination and the Locked Hall Examination, which also have dozens of places.
The average salary quota for the 400 military states in the world is only ten people. In most areas, it is only in single digits. In some cases, there are even only three tribute students in one state.
This also reflects the benefits of applying to the Kaifeng Prefecture. Some students are not talented enough to learn, but they can pass the Kaifeng Prefecture examination by relying on their connections with elders and family members and being recommended by senior officials.
Of course, if the immigrated student is the best in the local area, and other people in the local area are also happy, there is one less competitor. If it is the kind of student who is purely looking for connections, it doesn't matter. After passing the interpretation test, there will be a provincial examination, and that exam There will be no way to go through the back door, and those who have not learned enough will still be dismissed.
It can be seen from this that Gongsun Ce, who is now ninety-eight, will actually be ridiculed by others just because of his relationship, and he will not respond.
Because with this result, in Luzhou, which attaches great importance to culture and education, you may not be able to pass the exam. You can't refute it!
Fortunately, no one noticed him at this time, as there was already a quarrel over there.
"Why does Hedong Dijin rank first in high school?"
"We want to see the answer sheet! We want to see the answer sheet!"
Apart from being famous locally, Jieyuan has little practical significance. After all, in many remote military prefectures, the first place Jieyuan is also the runner-up in the second provincial examination.
But if there is any place where Jie Yuan has the most status and is most valued by the outside world, it is undoubtedly the Imperial Academy Jie Examination where all the heroes gather!
That was the unique leader who defeated many local talents who sent their requests to Kaifeng Mansion!
In this era, the value of the Imperial College's Jieyuan examination is that as long as you don't perform too abnormally in the provincial examination, you can basically pass it, and your position as a Jinshi is certain!
Therefore, all the scholars were dissatisfied.
After being suppressed before, I can still expect to be ranked in the imperial examination and get a slap in the face.
Well now, they were slapped hard in the face by a Hedong scholar who had only been to the Imperial College twice...
The other party didn't even come to look at the list!
At this time, Zhang Mao left with peace of mind and went back to report the good news to the officials. Jia Xianchun's expression changed drastically at first. After hearing the quarrel among the students, he also squeezed to the front with a glimmer of hope, pinched his nose and shouted: " Look at the answer sheet! Look at the answer sheet!”
"Exhibit the answer sheet!"
Hearing the requests from the scholars, the examiner was not surprised. He waved his hand, and another official took out the top-ranked answer sheet and posted it on the screen wall.
The fairness of the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty was that the test papers of the candidates, especially those at the top, were displayed. If other students were not convinced, they could just take a look.
Of course, this cannot completely avoid dissatisfaction. For example, after seeing the Dragon and Tiger Ranking in Jiayou's fourth year, all the scholars still went to block Ouyang Xiu.
Because Ouyang Xiu deposed all Taixue students, and Liu Ji, who was number one in Taixue, failed to pass the exam, the group of scholars suddenly exploded, and the Wen Sects of the world gathered around to show you...
Now there is no dispute over writing style, it is all about Xikun style, and people come together one after another to take a closer look.
Then batch after batch, they all fell silent after reading.
"This poem is so elegant and elegant, and it also has a bit of vigor and vitality. It can be like this for poems and poems for examinations. Di Shilin is worthy of the title of Jieyuan. I have underestimated the world's talents!"
After Wang Yaochen saw it, he felt much calmer.
If he was allowed to express himself freely, he might be able to write better poems, but under the various restrictions of exam-oriented poems, even in the best condition, it would be no more than this.
And there are still many students who want to find faults with the meaning of the scriptures, but then find that they can't find any faults, and they look at each other in disbelief.
There is indeed no reason not to give the first place in this kind of test paper. At least the second and third places at the back are obviously more than one step behind.
Gongsun Ce also looked at the answer sheet, thinking that he went to the next door to search every day, and that the other party was studying hard most of the time. He showed admiration from the bottom of his heart: "Shi Lin, you deserve to be at the top of the list, beating out those people in the Imperial College who are too high-minded." A student!"
Gongsun Ce did not notice that among the crowd looking at the list, two cold eyes fell on his back, and they talked in a low voice: "Has this person won?"
"I won, and my ranking is at the bottom. People like this won't be able to pass the second test!"
"Hey! Consider him lucky. Don't attack anyone who has a good reputation. The Kaifeng government will not give up and let him live a little longer..."
"There have been too many people who have provoked us recently. Master Qi said that we must kill a few more to shock them!"
"Walk!"
Not to mention that several people in the crowd turned around silently and Jia Xianchun left in despair. Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and Wang Yaochen approached Gongsun Ce and came forward to salute: "Congratulations Gongsun Mingyuan!"
Gongsun Ce lost his pride, his face turned slightly red, and he returned the gift with his hands in hand: "Same joy...same joy..."
Han Qi was very curious and asked directly: "I don't know Di Shilin?"
Gongsun Ce said: "I informed Shilin yesterday that the results would be released today, but he was preparing for the provincial exam at home and didn't come!"
After hearing this, Han Qi and Wen Yanbo fell silent, while Wang Yaochen could not help but feel a sense of frustration.
Don’t be arrogant when you win and don’t be discouraged when you lose. It’s easy to say, but so difficult to do. I performed so perfectly in the test, but I still have such a mentality...
When I was at the Literary Society, Di Shilin was studying hard.
While he was looking at the results, Di Shilin was preparing for the exam.
This kind of opponent is really terrifying!
