Of course, Emperor Jingwu still had some ideas.
That's because Zhang Jian is younger.
When a young man wins the first place in the world, this can be regarded as a contribution to the education of the country, and it is also auspicious in itself.
This period of time was not easy for the Qian court. There was a severe drought in the south, followed by an ice disaster in the north. The victims were displaced. Some evil heretics took the opportunity to spread rumors in the counties, saying that the emperor was stupid and had sinned against God. This was a gift from heaven. Sin and Daqian.
Emperor Jingwu also needed such an auspicious sign to stabilize people's hearts and restore the court's reputation.
The next day is the time to release the results!
It is still under the east wall of Yujing Street, the busiest imperial street.
On the street, the ice and snow in Haojing City had begun to melt, and a bone-chilling chill filled the air everywhere.
In front of the east wall, there was already a circle of people who had gotten up early to look at the list.
Zhang Lu squeezed into the crowd. This time Zhang Jian did not come, so Zhang Lu patted his chest and agreed to read the list.
In front of the street, many officials from southern counties also saw Zhang Lu crowded in the crowd. They were deeply impressed by Zhang Lu, not only because of Zhang Lu's rare size, but also because Zhang Lu often followed Zhang Jian. .
Never leave!
But he didn't see Zhang Jian around today, so he asked.
"Zhang Lu, didn't your husband come in person?"
Zhang Lu laughed when he heard this: "My husband is very tired during this period and needs to rest at home, so I volunteered to come and show him the list!"
"Brother Zhang is really calm, we can't sit still!"
At this time, the Juren who spoke was a bit self-deprecating, while the Shilunren in the crowd just smiled slightly. As the second in the tribute list, Zhang Jian had a good chance of coming to the top, so naturally he didn't have to worry so much.
Even if he can't win the Three Tripod Armor, his background as a Jinshi has surpassed many of the people present.
Shi Lun saw from a distance that King Qingzhou of Yuan Dynasty was standing not far away, surrounded by many people.
At this moment, the crowd suddenly became lively.
There was a commotion ahead.
"The list is here, give way to the people in front!"
At this time, a loud-voiced government official announced loudly from the front, and at the same time squeezed a way.
Everyone quickly got out of the way, only to see a group of Yamen servants from Haojing Mansion approaching, supporting several officials.
At this time, one of the officials was still holding a yellow list in his hand.
Naturally, everyone knew that the yellow list was finally going to be announced.
The four officials did not delay, and after painting a new layer of plaster on the wall, they quickly posted the yellow list.
At this time, everyone could see that there were two bright words on the right side of the opened yellow list, golden list.
Then there is a line of font.
On the first day of the third month of the sixth year of the Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's reign, the Chengtian Palace held a test for tribute scholars from all over the world, including more than 285 people. The first A granted Jinshi and the second A granted Jinshi were born and the third A granted the same Jinshi birth. Notice is hereby given.
The first one is awarded Jinshi and the first place is Zhang Jian, a native of Fengxi County, Fengyang (Zhangjia'ao, Fengxi County).
The second place is Wang Qingzhou, a native of Jiuzhangping, Dongling.
The third place is Peng Yuanshou, from Sanyuanli, Xicheng Street, Wuying County.
The fourth place is Wu Xiangsheng, a native of Xishan Hutong, Jiulian County.
…
A total of 285 names are listed on the list.
At this moment, it was just a glance, but Zhang Lu's eyes widened and he couldn't help but get excited.
"The number one scholar, my husband is the number one scholar!"
Many people nearby saw this but didn't pay attention. They focused more on the list, and all of them looked shocked.
Zhang Jian's final victory in the world was indeed beyond the expectations of many people. After all, many officials were very optimistic about King Huiyuan Qingzhou.
But what many people are more concerned about is finding their own names!
"Am I the second best?"
At this time, Wang Qingzhou was standing there a little lost. He couldn't help tightening his tight clothes, and he looked a little disappointed. In the end, he just missed the top prize.
He was just dazed for a moment, but he still accepted the congratulations from many people around him gracefully. Being ranked second among the Three Tripods is already pretty good.
And (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 157 Title on the Gold List (Large Chapter)
Tanhua Peng Yuanshou was also surrounded by many people at this time, and his face was full of joy.
Peng Yuanshou was chosen as the third most beautiful girl because he was not only talented but also very good-looking. I heard that he had been valued by an important official in Hao Capital not long ago and was looking for a good son-in-law.
At this time, I won the lottery again, which can be said to be a double happiness!
The four officials next to them also started to roll call.
Every time there is a palace examination, the emperor will send special officials to roll call in front of Yujing Gate to show that he is eager to promote culture and education and is eager for talents.
At the same time, Hao Jing's order will be circulated to many government officials.
For a time, with the official's roll call, the yellow list became more and more lively.
Shi Lun stood in the crowd and saw his ranking at this time.
He was born as a Jinshi, and his 29th name was Shi Lun. He was from Shijiafang, Jixian County.
"First place in the second-tier class?"
There was still a trace of regret in the depths of Shi Lun's eyes. He also hoped that Emperor Jingwu would give them another favor for their great contribution to the court.
Now it seems that it is too much to ask for.
However, Shi Lun also knew that being able to be promoted from No. 109 on the tribute list to No. 1 in the Second Class A must also include the gift of Emperor Jingwu. Otherwise, based on his true level, he may not be able to win the Second Class A title. The first name.
The first place in the second class is actually no worse than the few Jinshi at the end of the first class crane.
The first in the second class is also the first, and the first can always be remembered.
Who would remember second place, third place, let alone the following rankings.
At this time, several friends around Shi Lun saw this scene and couldn't help but look at Shi Lun with envy.
The first place in the second class is already a good ranking that many people dream of.
…
And just when Zhang Lu ran back to report the news, the servants from the Haojing Mansion Yamen had already arrived at Zhang Jian's temporary residence with gongs and drums.
Zhang Jian suddenly woke up from his practice when he heard the sound of gongs outside. He glanced outside the small courtyard. He knew that the results were released today, and it seemed that there was good news.
"I wonder which one of the three tripod armors it is?"
Zhang Jian believed that he had done a perfect job in the palace examination, and it was unlikely that he would fall out of the top ranks.
It is even expected to win the Sanding Armor.
He had seen the actions of many court officials in the past, but everything was subject to accidents, and he could not guarantee that there would be no problems.
Immediately the door was opened, and there were several government officials at the door covered with red flowers. When they saw Zhang Jian coming out, their eyes suddenly lit up, and the leader, a strong government official, couldn't help but ask.
"May I ask if this gentleman is Mr. Zhang Jian, a literary star from Fengyang County?"
"You can't be a Wen Quxing star, I am indeed Zhang Jian!"
Hearing this, the leading yamen officer bowed and congratulated continuously: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhang. Congratulations to Mr. Zhang for ranking first in the high school examination and being appointed as the number one scholar by His Majesty!"
With that said, he handed the good news in his hand to Zhang Jian.
Zhang Jian glanced over and felt a little surprised. He knew that he had a chance to achieve the Three Cauldron Armor, but he didn't expect that the operation in the imperial examination could have such an amazing effect.
He actually won the first prize in one fell swoop and topped the gold list.
"reward!"
In a great mood, Zhang Jian smiled and took out a dozen copper coins that he had already prepared from his sleeve and threw them to several government officials, making them smile with joy.
This consistent amount of copper coins is worth several months of their salary.
The number one scholar in front of me is really generous.
One after another came to announce the good news, and Zhang Lu came back just at this time. Zhang Jian simply asked Zhang Lu to carry out the baskets of copper coins, and everyone had a share, and the rain and dew were all wet.
At the same time, Zhang Jian noticed that with the names on the gold list, there was a magnificent spiritual power deep in the void that turned into a torrent and merged into his body, strengthening the magic power of his Dantian.
In the golden liquid method spring, countless golden runes condensed and formed surrounding the golden liquid method spring. These runes are part of the mystery contained in the treasure record, which contains the principles of heaven and earth.
These golden runes condensed into rings and gradually formed a closed rune pattern. The drops of gold liquid in the spring in the center of the pattern gradually condensed into a ball, faintly transforming from liquid to solid.
The shadow of a small golden elixir gradually (this chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 157 Title on the Gold List (Large Chapter)
Emerging from the golden rune ring.
At this moment, the accumulation of his golden liquid stage was gradually completed, forming a golden elixir shadow, which was already close to the edge of the golden elixir realm.
This kind of speed of cultivation was beyond his own imagination.
Moreover, the magnificent inspirations of heaven and earth are still flowing towards him.
After the absorption is completed, he may be able to use the opportunity of being named on the gold list to condense the golden elixir.
"This is such a great blessing!"
Zhang Jian was secretly happy. This made him much happier than simply being named on the gold medal list and being the top pick in high school.
At this time, part of the excess magnificent spiritual energy was also directed into the depths of his Dantian.
Through the dantian and all the orifices around the body, it is absorbed into the dragon chanting sword at the waist, nourishing this spiritual sword.
It's just that Zhang Jian is not yet able to calm down and practice well. As the number one scholar, he will also parade through the streets with a group of capital masters.
The so-called hat is placed in the palace and the flowers are placed in a banquet, and the body is dipped in immortal dew and given clothes and glory. This is what comes next.
Among them are riding on horses, participating in the Qionglin Banquet, which is also a banquet of grace and honor, and finally being awarded an official status.
In Zhang Jian's eyes, the parade on horseback and the Qionglin Banquet were just fun, and the important thing was to be given an official status.
According to convention, Sandingjia, as well as some new-ke Jinshi who passed Yijia, will be granted entry into the Academy of Culture and Sports, and stay in Haojing to become officials in the capital, which is also the most noble type of official.
Officials in the Academy of Culture and Sports were usually the ones often summoned by Emperor Jingwu, either to lecture on scriptures, or to attend readings, or to become editors of the Academy of Arts and Sports, or to compile. If they were lucky, they could occasionally help Emperor Jingwu compile books. Draft an edict.
This is very similar to some of the close ministers who were deliberately cultivated by the emperor in the previous court. Even if they are released in the future, the emperor will give them some help by virtue of the layer of gold they have in the palace.
Migration will be faster.
After all, they are officials who have met and got to know each other personally, and their trust level is far higher than that of other external officials.
If you are criticized or promoted, the emperor will not easily feel bad about him.
If the Jinshi in the palace examination can be called the disciples of the emperor, then entering the Academy of Culture and Sports to spend gold is the true legacy that stays with the emperor.
…
Qingfeng Princess Mansion
In the mansion, the eldest princess Qingfeng is sitting in front of the stove. She is dressed elegantly and luxuriously. Even in a private place, she has an indescribable aura of nobility, even though her face can only be considered above average.
At this time, the eunuch who had delivered meals to Zhang Jian was lowering his head with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect that the nephew of General Qi would be so lucky. He was selected as the number one scholar by His Majesty. It is really rare for the number one scholar who is not yet sixteen years old!"
Princess Qingfeng had a slight smile on her dignified face.
"If Yuan Wu knew about this, he would definitely be very happy. I heard him mention it a long time ago that his nephew is very talented and is expected to become a Jinshi. I didn't expect that he would win the first place!"
"I originally thought that after he became a Jinshi, maybe we could help him, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't need our help!"
Princess Qingfeng smiled slightly.
After the palace examination, it has been a common practice in the court that the top scholar is generally awarded the editorship of the Academy of Arts and Sports, and the second best candidate is awarded the editorship.
The rest of the Jinshi who pass the examination will also stay in the Institute of Culture and Sports to serve in various auxiliary positions. Those who pass the examination after three years will be awarded the title of editor, reviewer and other officials of the Academy of Culture and Sports.
The rest were assigned to various ministries as directors, observers, etc., or were appointed with priority by the county magistrate, and were called casual officials.
Jinshi from the Academy of Culture and Sports usually get promoted quickly, and Daqian is similar to the previous dynasty. Over the years, it has gradually formed a situation where non-Jinshis cannot enter the Academy of Arts and Sports, non-Jinshi are not lecturers in the Academy, and bachelors are not Jiuqing.
"There's no need to worry about this young man from the Zhang family. I just don't know when Yuan Wu will come back victorious!"
Princess Qingfeng's beautiful appearance now had a hint of resentment.
The old eunuch said when he saw this.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the rebellion in the southern counties is gradually suppressed. This time, His Majesty clearly intends to compensate. Once General Qi returns, he will have a bright future. Your Majesty may even decree a marriage by then!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess Qingfeng also smiled a little more on her face.
(This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 157 Title on the Gold List (Large Chapter)
He immediately said: "His Majesty sometimes appears to be harsh and unkind, but after all, I was the one who grew up watching him, and he is not a ruthless and unjust emperor!"
The old eunuch lowered his head when he heard this, not daring to accept such words.
…
"It would be an excellent opportunity if I could be awarded the title of Editor of the Institute of Culture and Sports!"
At this time, after the Qionglin banquet, Zhang Jian was also waiting for the conferring ceremony.
If you can stay in the Cultural and Sports Institute, you can follow Zhang Jian's wish.
Not only is it a stepping stone for officials in the Academy of Culture and Sports to become important ministers of the third or higher ranks of the imperial court and even local officials, it is also because it contains a rich collection of imperial books.
If his Qiqiao Exquisite Heart wants to grow, he needs to accumulate enough knowledge.
The Academy of Culture and Sports was not only a play and study institution for the emperor, but also contained the largest "library" of the Daqian court. With this noble official position, he could openly read all kinds of books collected by the Daqian court. Expand your own vision and enrich your exquisite heart.
…
At this time, after the Qionglin Banquet, Zhang Jian and Shi Lun also began to bid farewell to some of their friends who had failed.
After the Yellow List came out, many candidates were preparing to return home.
Zhan Xiong, a friend of two of them, was also among them.
However, to their surprise, among the people who sent Zhan Xiong off, there was also a gorgeously dressed, graceful and beautiful woman. Zhan Xiong did not want to leave at this time, but more wanted to stay in Haojing City. Within, I will continue to struggle for three years.
At this time, I heard this woman say: "Zhan Lang, a man's ambition should be like a majestic river, running eastward to the sea, why bother to miss the gentle land?!"
