A long drought brings sweet rain, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and the inscription on the gold medal list, this is the joy for the four people in life.
Today, for many people, it is time to name their names on the gold list.
Yesterday, it was revealed in advance that the winning list would be announced the next day. Therefore, hundreds of people were already waiting here early this morning.
Fortunately, this is not the only place that publishes the list. Otherwise, there would have to be at least two thousand people gathered here!
In the early morning, with a "crunching" sound, the door of the mansion opened, and several soldiers in black armor quickly took out several large, densely packed lists and posted them on the surrounding walls.
The moment it was posted, they ran back. If they didn't leave quickly, it would be difficult for them to leave even if they wanted to.
Didn’t you see that with the movement here, the surrounding candidates have begun to gather here!
Hundreds of people, bustling and crowded together, looked at these small lists. For many people here, as long as their names appear on these small lists, they are likely to change their life trajectory and get the opportunity to soar into the sky.
"Brother Zhuge, congratulations, you are ranked first in both civil and military subjects!" Director Wang said with a slight smile.
Both he and Zhuge Liang came from aristocratic families. Although the Zhuge family in Langya was not as good as the Wang family in Bingzhou, they still had a certain reputation in the world.
The two of them met by chance in the past few days, so it was inevitable that they would have more interactions. After all, these two are smart people, and there are naturally a lot of topics between smart people.
Director Wang was also quite envious of Zhuge Liang. This man was a famous talent at Mingde Academy in recent years, and this imperial examination proved his extraordinary ability.
He ranked second in the second-level civil examination, and even won the first-level third place in the martial arts examination. It can be said that he is truly both civil and military.
In fact, Zhuge Liang is still a bit young now. Otherwise, if he grows up in a few years, his achievements may be even more amazing. Zhuge Liang, at his peak, might be able to take back all the top picks in cultural relics and martial arts!
Zhuge Liang clasped his hands in return and smiled to everyone. The bright light shone on the young talent's white shirt and his handsome face and gentle smile, which was extremely dazzling.
"Brother Wang is too modest. This time, Brother Wang is also on the list, and seven members of the Wang family from Bingzhou participated in the imperial examination, and all of them were named on the gold list. It will be a good story in the future!" Zhuge Liang boasted to Wang's business director.
What's more, Taiyuan Wang's results are indeed not bad this time. Director Wang ranked second and third in the literary examination, and Wang Dun ranked second and second in the martial arts examination. The other five members of the Wang family were also on the list, but they were not as dazzling as Director Wang and Wang Dun. That’s it!
Among them, in addition to being on the list for the martial arts examination, Wang Dun was also on the list for the literary examination, but his ranking was not high, in the middle and upper reaches of the second class.
Wang Dun, like Zhuge Liang, ranked highly in the art of war subject in the military examinations.
"Brother Zhuge, have you heard of Yu Qian's name!" A name on the list appeared twice in a row, which aroused Director Wang's interest. With such a great talent, he had never heard of this person's reputation before.
Director Wang is the leader of this generation of the Wang family in Bingzhou. After all, Director Wang can even call Li Xiang brother-in-law when he meets him. Therefore, as Director Wang, he also had some understanding of some details of this imperial examination.
He knew very well that this imperial examination was indeed as fair and impartial as possible. In other words, Yu Qian's ability to achieve such high results must be due to his true talent and learning. This achievement, even Zhuge Liang cannot compare with him.
"Yu Qian, I have never heard of this person before! This person has such a great talent, but we are ignorant!" Zhuge Liang sighed slightly. Zhuge Liang's results in the imperial examination this time were already quite good, but he was still completely suppressed by Yu Qian.
Yu Qian won the top prize in the civil examination, and even the top prize in the martial arts exam. Such a versatile person is truly a pillar of the country.
In fact, if we talk about abilities in all aspects, Zhuge Liang can definitely suppress Yu Qian in all aspects. However, one of the two people is still in the development stage, but the other has entered the maturity stage.
Many people believe that with Zhuge Liang's assistance, Liu Bei only achieved one-third of the world. Therefore, they felt that Zhuge Liang's talents were not as good as those of the counselors who assisted the emperor to complete the unification.
However, we should also see that if the founding emperors lose one or two counselors, they will still be themselves, and they may have some twists and turns, but there is a high probability that they will still achieve their original achievements. But if Liu Bei lost Zhuge Liang, what would Liu Bei be? What can he accomplish?
Zhuge Liang, after all, is a top-level representative of his era, and his talents are naturally top-level.
"And Wang Anshi, Wei Renpu, and Yu Yunwen are also quite impressive!" Zhuge Liang said in a serious voice. This imperial examination also made him understand that there are people outside the world and there are mountains outside the mountains. He still has a lot to learn.
Although Wang Anshi and Wei Renpu did not participate in both civil and military examinations like Zhuge Liang and Yu Qian, and only participated in one civil examination, the two of them were ranked first in the civil examination and second in the first academic examination.
As for Yu Yunwen, like Yu Qian, Zhuge Liang and others, they were both talented in both civil and military matters, and achieved dazzling results such as seventh place in the second place in the civil examination and second place in the first place in the martial arts examination.
"Brother Xie, you're here too!" Director Wang was still sharp-eyed and spotted Xie Xuan's figure in the crowd.
The person who came was none other than Xie Xuan, who came from the Xie family in Chen County. In the future, the Xie family of Chen County will become one of the top noble families. Later generations will compare the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when the noble families were at their peak, to the era of "Wang Xie".
Of course, at this period, the Xie family of Chen County could not be ranked among the top aristocratic families in the world, and they were far from reaching the level of prosperity in the future. Now, Director Wang and Xie Xuan, the two future representatives of the two powerful families, and the Wang and Xie families, are together.
Birds of a feather flock together, and people divide into groups. Although there were a lot of disciples from aristocratic families who came to participate in the imperial examination this time, Director Wang only got along well with the truly top talents like Zhuge Liang and Xie Xuan.
As for Yu Qian, Wang Anshi, Wei Renpu, Xu Jie and other children from poor families, they communicated more with each other.
"Congratulations, brother Xie, for ranking first in the martial arts competition!" Zhuge Liang looked at the boy who was one year younger than him and said loudly.
This time, Xie Xuan also suffered the disadvantage of still being in the development stage and had not yet reached the maturity stage. Otherwise, it remains to be determined who will be the winner of Yijia!
"Congratulations to Brother Zhuge and Brother Wang!" Xie Xuan casually glanced at the list and easily discovered the names of Zhuge Liang and Director Wang, and then congratulated them as well.
