But just when Song Mu was admiring the magnificent scenery around him, he heard a familiar voice. He turned around and saw several people walking towards him.
It was the people he met at Tan House who came up to Song Mu at this moment.
"Song Jieyuan, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have become even more handsome."
Teng Shaojie among them immediately stepped forward and said to Song Mu with a smile. Tan Weiyi next to him also said with a smile.
"It's just right that Song Jieyuan is here. I was arguing with him just now, so I just wanted to find Brother Song to clear up my confusion."
Song Mu bowed his hands to several people. Hearing such words, he looked at each other with confusion, and then Tan Wei explained.
"The rankings will be released in just half an hour. A few of us were just arguing about who would be number one in this test."
"I said you can also fight, but the four of us have different opinions."
Tan Wei said this immediately, and Liu Kaidong standing next to him also looked surprised. Although he knew that Tan Weiyi was the son of the prime minister, he did not expect that the other party was so optimistic about Song Mu.
Song Mu was calm at the moment and just asked the other party.
"Oh? But I don't know what is the reason that makes Brother Tan think that I can become the first in this competition?"
Tan Wei explained immediately, and the reason was similar to what Song Mu had heard in the past few days. Song Mu also handed it over, saying that he didn't dare to trust him.
Then Zhuang Hongyuan from Fuzhou came forward and spoke to Song Mu.
"Brother Song, it doesn't have to be like this. It is inevitable that you will be at the top this time. After all, I think almost no one can achieve the three visions in this trial."
"No, if I were to tell you, then Xiao Renlin from Jizhou and Li Chi from Bashu could have done it, and their strength should not be underestimated."
"I have had some exchanges with Li Chi in the past few days. Although he has no blood relationship with the Li family's poetry sect, he is also a target of recruitment. After passing the examination and the imperial examination, he may directly become a member of the Li family's poetry sect. Zong."
Teng Shaojie said this immediately and gestured towards the field.
"That one also has a handsome appearance. The articles he wrote for the college examination and provincial examination all inspired Li Bai's poems, so he is very valued."
"There is also Kuang Guangchao over there. He was born in a poor family, but he won Jizhou Jieyuan in one fell swoop. He is also a full-fledged figure."
As Teng Shaojie said this, Tan Weiyi next to him laughed.
"That's true if you want to say so, but let's face it, Li Chi is both talented and beautiful. In Chang'an, it is often said that he will definitely win the top prize, but there is no need to intimidate Brother Song like this."
Tan Wei immediately smiled and smoothed things over, Teng Shaojie just smiled, and Song Mu didn't take it to heart.
But at that moment, Wang Yu, who was standing silently beside him, suddenly let out a soft sigh, walked forward and looked at Song Mu, frowning slightly.
"Brother Song, why do you think your status doesn't look like that of a Jinshi scholar now?"
Wang Yu's words were shocking, and everyone immediately looked back. Wang Yu also explained something to Song Mu.
"I accidentally learned a mental method, which shows that the literary power is strong. I always feel that Song Jieyuan's literary power is much higher than that of his fellow Jinshi."
With that said, Tan Wei and others raised their brows, stepped forward and looked at Song Mu, and then asked in confusion.
"Brother Song, is this really the case?"
Song Mu smiled and nodded slightly.
"I'm lucky, it seems that my level has improved slightly."
Song Mu did not dare to directly publicize it. After all, breaking away from Tianxing would lead to a Jinshi degree. It was simply shocking to say such things, and Song Mu was afraid of causing trouble for himself.
Several people were amazed at the moment, feeling that Song Mu was indeed extraordinary. Only Wang Yu hesitated to speak. As a disciple of the Shizong, he could feel that Song Mu was extraordinary.
However, a few people did not delve into it, and were currently discussing the matter of the trial.
While a few people were talking, a lot of people gradually gathered in the square, and there was also movement in front of the Gongyuan.
Seeing that the time for releasing the results was coming soon, everyone stood still in the middle of the scene and looked ahead nervously.
Here, students who have reached the level and students who have not yet reached the level have completely different mentality. Those who have reached the level only hope that their ranking will be higher, so that when the time comes for the palace examination, they can also be higher.
Those who have not yet reached the level hope that they will be qualified for a Gongyuan, so that after three years, they may be able to achieve a literary degree.
Finally, it was past midnight, and the sun was now hanging high over Kong Zong. The square in front of the north gate of Gongyuan was crowded with people, and the gate of Gongyuan was finally slowly pushed open.
"The gate to Gongyuan is open!"
I don’t know who said this first. At that moment, everyone stretched their necks and looked forward. The students in the field even tensed up, and some even exhaled nervously at this moment.
After all, after the roll call, he will be a fellow Jinshi scholar in this literary dynasty.
This life from now on will be even more splendid.
Song Mu also stood among them, looking forward.
In front of the Gongyuan, a group of Gongyuan officials in red robes filed out, with a bit of fatigue on their faces at this moment.
Yan Fu walked at the back, looking a little tired at the moment, but still striding forward.
And as they walked out of the Gongyuan and looked around, the atmosphere in the venue was suddenly aroused. Countless people cheered, and the entire street was immersed in a sea of cheers.
The common people are also happy to hear about the results of the examination. They especially want to see, in this special year, who will have a successful career and who can win the first place in the examination.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites had already arrived at the venue. Yan Fu immediately stepped forward and handed the scroll in his hand to the other party.
The scene finally became quiet. Yan Fu took a step forward and stood in front of the Gongyuan Gate. He glanced around, his eyes lingered on the people in the audience for a moment, and then he said in a deep voice.
"Everyone! Fortunately, God's grace is so great that the Bingxu Examination was successfully completed. A total of 5,467 candidates took the exam. During this period, everything went smoothly, visions occurred one after another, and even the sacred book interpreted the words as holy. This is called eternal auspiciousness. "
"After reading the papers in the past few days, I can see that the scholars of our literary dynasty have reached a higher level and will reach higher levels in the future to contribute to the literary dynasty. I am here to thank all the students for studying diligently and working hard!"
Yan Fu straightened his back and shouted loudly at the people below!
"Bingxu subject examination, results released!"
"God bless the great scholar, the most holy man of Confucianism and Taoism!"
Countless disciples and common people stood up and shouted, and their voices resounded through the clear sky.
The next moment, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette stepped forward and held the golden scroll in their hands. The students in the audience couldn't help but be extremely excited when they saw the scroll.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the scroll in each other's hands.
Countless students hope that their names can be on that scroll and appear higher in it.
The official of the Ministry of Rites solemnly unfolded the scroll, then used his writing skills and shouted loudly.
"The 497th place in the Bingxu Examination, Cui Zihe, Lin'an Prefecture, Jiangnan East Road, will leave his name in history and shine through the ages!"
As soon as a name was sold, there was a clerk next to the red list with a brush stained with silver ink and writing a name at the bottom of the red list.
The silver light looks very dazzling under the sunlight.
And everyone in the field was in an uproar at this moment, very shocked.
Because this time, more than 5,000 candidates participated in the examination, and a full one-tenth of them became Dajing!
This is already an auspicious occasion.
The crowd burst into cheers, and everyone had a look of surprise on their faces.
The official's voice was still loud, and he was clearly announcing the names one by one.
"The 372nd placer in the Bingxu Examination, Chang'an Teng Shaojie. His name will remain in history and shine through the ages!"
As the words fell, congratulations immediately sounded out, and Song Mu also raised his hand to Teng Shaojie next to him.
After all, this is an accomplished scholar, and everyone congratulates each other a lot.
The person who read the name immediately sighed and bowed his hands to the people around him with a humble face. However, for those students who had reached the stage but had not yet read the name, their expressions were becoming more and more joyful at this moment.
After all, as long as you reach the realm, you will definitely be on the red list. What is determined by this red list is actually more about the level of a person's writing.
The higher the ranking, the more accomplished one is.
Soon, the rankings went down one by one, and there were more names on the red list. At the same time, there were copied red answer sheets posted on the surrounding wooden fences.
"Tenth place in the Bingxu Examination, Tan Weiyi from Ande Prefecture, Shandong Province!"
As time went by, the tenth placer in the test had also come out, and it turned out to be Tan Weiyi. This time, Tan Weiyi also looked happy, and he repeatedly raised his hands to the surrounding people.
"The seventh place in the Bingxu Examination, Liu Kaidong from Xunyang Mansion on Jiangnan West Road! His name will remain in history and shine through the ages!"
"The sixth place in the Bingxu Examination, Fuzhuang Hongyuan, Fuzhou, Fujian! His name will remain in history and shine through the ages!"
The rankings of Liu Kaidong and Zhuang Hongyuan have also come out. Zhuang Hongyuan is very contented at the moment and seems to be quite satisfied with the ranking. However, Liu Kaidong is very excited and seems to have never expected that he can reach such a ranking.
The two of them immediately raised their hands to the surroundings, but they both saw Song Mu, and their eyes were suddenly stunned at this moment.
Because they haven't heard Song Mu's name yet.
"The fourth place in the Bingxu Science Examination, Yu An, Jinling Prefecture, Jiangnan East Road! His name will remain in history and shine through the ages!"
"Third place in the Bingxu Examination, Li Chi from Mianzhou Prefecture, Bashu! His name will remain in history and shine through the ages!"
Two more names were read out, but Song Mu's name still didn't appear. At this time, everyone in the venue was stunned, and everyone looked at Song Mu in disbelief. ,
Song Mu also raised his head to look at the high platform, his palms clenched tightly and became wet.
