With the help of Feng Bao, Zhu Ping'an changed the imperial uniform of the No. 1 Scholar. The imperial uniform of the No. 1 Scholar showed a sense of superiority that was different from other Jinshi. It was closer to the imperial uniforms of civil and military officials. It included the imperial crown of Erliang and a pure gold crown hairpin. , the cyan tassel passes under the chin.
The robe of the No. 1 Scholar is Feiluo color, which is different from the Qingluo color of other Jinshi scholars, and is more conspicuous and noble. The belt is a plain silver belt worn by a sixth-grade official, and there is also a medicinal jade pendant with pearl tassels hanging down.
The only unpleasant thing is that the two rows of green hairpins on the hat are larger than those of Jinshi. It feels a bit weird for a big boy to wear such two rows of green hairpins.
"The No. 1 Scholar is truly a talented person." Feng Bao complimented Zhu Ping'an after he changed into the No. 1 Scholar uniform.
"Eunuch Feng is joking, I am probably the number one scholar with the lowest appearance since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, haha..." Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly and smiled. He is still very self-aware of his appearance, even though This No. 1 Scholar uniform has a bonus effect, but I can't even reach the level of a top-notch talent.
Zhu Ping'an and the other three people changed into their crown uniforms and returned to the main hall. Several palace attendants came with trays containing three cups of royal wine. They were presented to Zhu Pingan, the number one scholar, and the second-ranked and third-highest-ranking scholar one by one. With the royal wine, he saluted from a distance in the direction of Xiyuan where Emperor Jiajing lived, then drank it all in one gulp and placed the wine glass on the tray again.
The "Yujie Kuaiguan" officially began. In fact, the "Yujie Kuaiguan" is essentially the process in which the No. 1 scholar leads the Jinshi to the left gate of Chang'an to watch the officials post gold medals, and then goes home.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and other departments held the golden list and walked at the front. Zhu Ping'an led the second-ranked scholar and Tanhua Lang in the middle, and the rest of the Jinshi walked behind.
We walked together, but the paths were different.
Zhu Ping'an led No. 2 and Tan Hwa Lang along the royal road of the palace, while the others walked aside. Generally speaking, this royal road can only be walked by the emperor. Even the queen only walks once during the wedding, and then she cannot leave again.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an and the others can only go this time, but this time is for millions of scholars in the Ming Dynasty. This is the highest honor! The absolute highest honor! An honor that has only been dreamed of!
Zhu Pingan didn't notice anything as he walked up, but the second pick and Tanhualang behind him were different. Zhu Pingan felt something was wrong as he walked, so he looked back. Well, the two people behind were so excited that they could hardly walk, and they also had two exaggerated tears on their faces...
No, Zhu Pingan looked at the excited two people, but after thinking about it, he understood. The three great joys in life. He was ranked first when he was named on the gold list.
Han Yupeng looked at Zhu Ping'an who was looking back calmly and leisurely in front of him. He was in awe of him. The number one scholar is the number one scholar. Look at this person's mentality of not being happy with things and not feeling sad with himself. He couldn't do it himself. He didn't expect that he would be ranked second in the rankings. He has connections but is not tough. He is far inferior to Ouyang Zishi, a well-connected person. In terms of level, he was only sixth in the last test. Judging from the results, it would be better. Yuan, Zhu Ping'an, etc. were much higher than him, and when this palace examination was passed, the results were released. Suddenly, he was hit by a top scorer. This kind of great joy came from heaven. If he hadn't worried about the fact that he was in the palace and took care of the emotions of Ouyang Zishi in front of him, Han Yupeng would probably have howled to vent his ecstasy and excitement.
At this moment, walking on the royal road that only the emperor can walk, Han Yupeng felt so excited that he could not describe it.
Thinking that he only had this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to set foot on the royal road, and to take care of the two people behind him, Zhu Pingan slowly slowed down.
Walking slowly, it originally only took ten minutes to reach the Gate of Supreme Harmony, but it took Zhu Pingan nearly half an hour to reach the Gate of Supreme Harmony.
Han Yupeng and Tan Hualang, who were ranked second on the list, looked at Zhu Pingan's steady steps and wished they could give Zhu Pingan a hundred likes.
When passing through Taihe Gate. He walked through the Zhongmen Gate, which only the emperor could walk through. After passing the Gate of Supreme Harmony, he continued walking forward, and then arrived at the Meridian Gate. The Meridian Gate is also called the "Five Phoenix Tower" because there are five gate towers in the Meridian Gate. The main building looks like a phoenix spreading its wings, so it is called the Five Phoenix Building. The door openings of the Meridian Gate are a very unique design. There are three door openings when viewed from the front, but there are five door openings when viewed from the back. Zhu Ping'an and the others arrived at the Meridian Gate. The guards on duty in front of the Meridian Gate opened the main gate and the gates on both sides. The gates could only be seen from the side.
Zhu Ping'an led No. 2 and Tan Hwa Lang through the main entrance. The civil servants led the other new Jinshi through Yemen on the east side, and the military attachés led the Yemen on the west side.
After leaving the Meridian Gate, there were more drums and drums, and the gongs and drums were noisy, and there were blows and beats everywhere. Under the guidance of the drums and drums, they went out of Duanmen and Chengtianmen in turn, and then passed through a very broad square before arriving at Daming Gate. The left gate of Chang'an in the inner northeast corner.
Because the palace test list has always been hung at the left gate of Chang'an over the years, the left gate of Chang'an is also called the Dragon Gate, which indicates that the candidates who enter this list will jump over the Dragon Gate and become the upstarts that attract much attention.
At this moment, the left gate of Chang'an was decorated in a particularly festive manner. A temporary "dragon tent" was built and large red silk lanterns were hung. Zhu Ping'an and the others walked into the dragon tent and watched the officials from Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites post the gold list.
The gold list was magnificent and stamped with the "Emperor's Treasure" seal. The new Jinshi looked at the posted gold list, and tears streaked down the corners of their eyes with excitement...
After the gold medal was posted, the Shuntian Prefecture Yin, who had been waiting for a long time, came forward with two officials. The Shuntian Prefecture Yin came up and said congratulations, and then he couldn't help but put a big red silk draped diagonally on Zhu Ping'an's body, on his chest. It happened to be a big red flower, and Zhu Pingan had another big red flower on his hat.
The other two officials also covered the No. 2 candidate and the third most beautiful man with bright red silk and put big red flowers on them.
The other Jinshi looked at the three of them with envy on their faces, especially Ouyang Zishi, who looked at Zhu Pingan with envy and hatred.
Soon, someone brought in three tall horses with pure red coats. The saddles were dyed gold, and the riding whip was woven from gold wire. Zhu Pingan stepped on the stool first, turned over and rode on the most handsome tall horse, holding a The golden riding whip walked at the front, followed closely by Bang Er and Tan Hua Lang on horseback, and the rest of the Jinshi followed on foot, heading all the way to Chang'an Street.
In front are the guards with flags and drums to clear the way, holding the champion lantern, carrying red and yellow flags and plaques with the words "Number One Scholar and Zhu Ping'an" and "Three Yuan in a row" and other signs. They are playing the gongs and drums and blasting firecrackers.
Of course, the people in the capital were more enthusiastic.
At this moment, all the people in the capital rushed onto the streets of Chang'an. The roadside, upstairs in the store, and other places where people could stand were full of people. Everyone rushed to the streets, standing on their toes and stretching their necks. , all looking towards the street.
Even the girls who usually stay close to home all dressed up beautifully and ran out to see what the No. 1 pick looks like.
On this day, their family members rarely restrained them.
The streets of Chang'an are crowded with people! The streets are empty with thousands of people waiting to see the champion! (To be continued.)
