"Don't you think Mr. Tang should explain the current situation?" Zhao Chunmao asked.
Seeing him stretching his neck and widening his eyes, as if he was fighting a cock, Tang Zhichuan couldn't help but feel a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth.
explain?
No matter what I explain to you, it’s just playing the piano to a cow!
Tang Zhichuan was too lazy to pay attention and just raised his hand, "Zhao Chunmao, a tribute scholar, disobeyed his etiquette in front of the palace and despised his elders. He was pulled out of the palace and his reputation was revoked. He will never be allowed to take the imperial examination again!"
As soon as the words fell, guards came in from outside the palace and dragged Zhao Chunmao, who was stunned on the spot with a face as white as paper, out.
After reacting, Zhao Chunmao opened his mouth to scream, but the guard's sharp eyes and quick hands struck him on the back of the neck with his palm, causing him to faint immediately.
Tang Zhichuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
The Minister of Rites on the side also relaxed his brows a little.
It is indeed cruel for a tribute scholar to be deprived of his fame, but it is better than losing his life.
Especially not just one person's life.
And with Zhao Chunmao's temperament, if he has fame, he may be arrogant and arrogant, and how much trouble he will cause. We still don't know what the outcome will be.
The current situation is probably the most suitable for him.
Several people felt relaxed and did not say much.
As Zhao Chunmao was taken away, the remaining tributes had different expressions on their faces, but most of them showed fear. Occasionally, there were a few who were a little unconvinced, but when they thought of Zhao Chunmao's fate just now, they didn't even think about it now. Not daring to make any more moves, he just lowered his head and clenched his fist again and again.
Tang Zhichuan glanced at all the tributes in the hall and asked them to continue to read out the remaining rankings.
There is no such thing as failure in the palace examination, only ranking.
Yijia is awarded the title of Jinshi and ranks number one, number two and number three respectively.
Erjia was given a Jinshi background, a total of 102 people.
Sanjia was born with Jinshi, a total of 127 people.
After the rankings were read out, Tang Zhichuan raised his hand, and someone behind him came out with something.
"This is the article written by Yijia today. I have copied several copies. Those who are interested can circulate it for viewing."
After Tang Zhichuan finished speaking, everyone gathered around him.
The top articles from all previous imperial examinations will be carefully preserved and occasionally posted at the gate of Gongyuan for people to view.
But being able to watch masterpieces in the hall like today, and once again having the opportunity to see the articles written by the top three in the first class, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Everyone came forward in joy, firstly to see how good the articles written by these three people could be, and secondly to confirm whether the number one and number two picks were worthy of their names, or whether they were just luck.
After the article was circulated one by one and everyone looked at it carefully, they all pursed their lips again and again.
If Chen Shuming's articles are like surging river water, making readers' hearts surge, then Song Jingyun's articles are like the vast sea, making people feel that they have the world in mind, and are calm but not lacking in edge.
There is unabashed greed in the eyes of many people. After reading it through once, they have to appreciate it again word for word, not willing to let the next person read it.
After watching it two or three times, I still felt that my heart could not calm down for a long time, so I could only look at Song Jingyun and Chen Shuming with admiration.
The No. 1 pick and No. 2 pick were not obtained purely by luck, but they were well deserved!
Admirable!
Seeing that everyone was like this, Tang Zhichuan looked at each other with the Minister of Rites and others, his face full of relief.
