First place in Class A...Zhu Ping'an!
The guards' loud singing for the second time woke up Ouyang Zushi, who was walking mechanically like a walking zombie, and then realized, hey, how did he get here? Why did he take two steps? What's going on?
"Are you Zhu Pingan? Please come with me."
Just when Ouyang Zishi suddenly woke up, the officials of Honglu Temple who came down with the second chanting saw one of the four hundred new Jinshis coming out, and they took it for granted that the Ouyang Zishi who walked out was Zhu. Peace.
The reason why the officials of Honglu Temple did this was entirely in accordance with the ritual procedures. According to the procedures, the first place in the first class, which is also the number one scholar, must sing three times in a row. The officials of Honglu Temple must lead the number one scholar. Go to the left side of the royal road at the foot of the steps and kneel down to thank the emperor for his kindness.
The officials of Honglu Temple came down to lead the new champion to the royal road at the foot of the steps. Seeing "Zhu Ping'an", the new champion, was so excited that he walked out even before the second roll call was over. He couldn't help but He walked up to "Zhu Ping'an" with admiration and asked, and then led "Zhu Ping'an" to the royal road to express his gratitude.
The official from Honglu Temple had just finished asking, and was surprised to find that the new champion's whole body seemed to be cramped. The pale face of the new champion's face turned red as if it was suddenly congested. Not only that, his face also seemed to be cramped. of.
Some officials of Honglu Temple muttered, "What happened to the new champion?" Overwhelmed with joy?
"No, I...I'm not, I'm Ouyang Zishi." Ouyang Zishi's face was so red that it almost bled, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Fortunately, we only walked two steps away, and because we were at the foot of the steps outside the main hall, the big bosses in the main hall could not see it. The Honglu Temple official who was responsible for guiding outside the main hall knew that Ouyang Zishi and Yan Songyan The relationship between Mr. Ge and Ouyang Zishi was not too out of the ordinary, so he pretended not to see it when he saw it.
The censor in charge of supervision had the same mentality and pretended not to see it.
As for the new Jinshi who are waiting, they are not much better than Ouyang Zishi, although they are not as rude as Ouyang Zishi. But the surprise in my heart was even worse. How could it be Zhu Pingan? He only got seven "O"s. He chose the Golden Rooster. There was no reason to win the top prize.
Everyone was astonished. It also saved Ouyang Zishi a lot of embarrassment.
The only two exceptions were Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen. They were just surprised and then sincerely happy for Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Ping'an was not too surprised, looking calm and composed. But in the eyes of everyone. Especially in Ouyang Zishi's eyes, Zhu Ping'an was clearly pretending to be like this. It was interesting. He was obviously very excited and surprised, but he also pretended to be indifferent and dangerous. What if he wasn't pretending to be B!
"I will learn from Zhu Pingan." As soon as Ouyang Zishi finished speaking, Zhu Pingan greeted the officials of Honglu Temple in a timely manner. He also solved Ouyang Zishi's surroundings in a timely manner and attracted everyone's attention to him.
"Ahem. Well, please come with me." The official of Honglu Temple was also a little embarrassed. He coughed and led Zhu Ping'an to the royal road.
Under the envious eyes of everyone, Zhu Pingan followed the officials of Honglu Temple and walked out of the queue to the royal road.
The royal road, as the name suggests, is the road specially designed for the emperor to walk. This exception is only made for the number one, number two, and top pick during the imperial examination, and it is no exception at any other time.
Take the royal road. This is the supreme honor. Looking at Zhu Ping'an's back as he stepped onto the royal road, Ouyang Zishi felt envy, jealousy, hatred and all kinds of emotions coming over him.
The officials of Honglu Temple led Zhu Ping'an to the near left side of the imperial road and walked for a while. He stopped and signaled Zhu Pingan to kowtow and thank him.
"My lord Zhu Ping'an, thank you Lord for your kindness."
Zhu Ping'an followed his good deeds and stood on the left side of the royal road, knelt down and knelt down to thank him. With Zhu Ping'an kneeling like this, a brand new disciple of the Emperor was born.
After the first-place finisher sang three times, the first-place and second-place finishers began to sing. Repeated three times.
"Second place in First Class...Han Yupeng!"
Another official from Honglu Temple came down the steps, led Han Yupeng out of the queue, came to the royal road, walked behind Zhu Pingan, knelt down near the right side of the royal road, and knelt down to thank him.
Then came the third place in the first class, which was repeated three times. Officials from Honglu Temple also led them out of the queue, came to the back of Zhu Pingan and Han Yupeng, and knelt down to thank them.
After listening to the ranking of the third place in the first class, Ouyang Zishi collapsed, his face was red and hot, I am not the top pick, the second place is not me, and the top pick is not me! what the hell is this! Thinking about the compliments received by everyone before the results were released, and looking at it now, Ouyang Zishi wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
In fact, not only Ouyang Zishi, but also Mr. Yan Song in the main hall was so surprised that he didn't even take a breath...
The singing continues, but this time the singing is only sung once, and there is no need for officials from Honglu Temple to lead the procession out of the procession and walk along the royal road. These are benefits that can only be enjoyed by the top pick, second pick, and third overall pick, and they are not yet qualified.
When he came in second place in the top two, Ouyang Zishi finally heard his name.
However, this belated roll call not only did not make Ouyang Zishi feel excited again, but also made him feel more embarrassed. He focused his eyes on the young man at the front of the royal road, and his heart was churning. Damn it, he should be standing there. s position! mine!
After the singing of the list was over, the Chuanlu official once again led the top three, the second place winner, and the top pick in the Enke Palace Examination forward again until they reached the steps leading to the steps from the royal road outside the main hall, and then stopped to wait for the gold list of the Palace Examination.
The position assigned to the official Zhu Ping'an is very special. Zhu Ping'an is at the front and in the middle, slightly ahead of the second and third picks. The three of them are almost in a triangle.
While waiting for the palace exam, Zhu Ping'an noticed that the first royal stone under his feet was different. This stone was carved with a giant turtle, with a dragon on its back. His feet happened to land on the giant turtle. On the head of the turtle; perhaps the giant turtle and the dragon's head are originally one. It was once said that the giant turtle had the head of a dragon, the body of a turtle, and the tail of a unicorn. No matter which way you say it, this sculpture is lifelike, making people feel like they are stepping on the head of a giant turtle and riding the wind and waves in the sea.
Sure enough, he was the top one. It was really impressive. Zhu Pingan curled his lips.
The breeze is not cool, the sun is not dry, the breeze is blowing the sunshine, and it is shining on Zhu Pingan. At this moment, Zhu Pingan can't help but get excited. When he was a child, he herded cattle under the Nanshan Mountain, studied secretly outside the school, and practiced on the wooden board. Words, rising in the morning and going to bed in the evening...scenes after scenes kept appearing in front of my eyes, from the mountain village to the Jinluan Palace, everything was so incredible, both unexpected and reasonable.
In front of the palace, Pingce was offered the title of "the best".
Daming, here I come! (To be continued.)
