"Yu Zai just changed his mind."
When the princes questioned, Emperor Jingshun's face was neither red nor white.
"How can the Holy Emperor's royal pen and inscriptions be changed at will?"
Zhang Songyue, the chief minister, couldn't help but speak at this time.
"Your Majesty, why is this happening?"
In fact, Zhu Gong had some vague guesses, but he still couldn't believe it.
This is a talent promotion ceremony!
Emperor Jingshun gritted his teeth and said: "Feng Yuan is too young, I don't want to become a child prodigy."
Historically, several dynasties had Tongzike.
It is recorded in the Three Character Classic:
Liu Yan of Tang Dynasty was just seven years old.
Raise prodigies and write straight characters.
With the development of the times, there are more and more disadvantages in child care.
Many people even regard this road as a shortcut to change their homes.
This has led to the rise of child prodigies.
Eventually they were gradually banned by the court.
At this time, Emperor Jingshun said that the trend of child prodigies was not promoted, which was politically correct nonsense.
But looking at Feng Yibo's age, he can barely make sense.
And what popped into Emperor Jingshun's mind was also something from Feng Yibo's paper.
Take history as a mirror and summarize and reflect.
These methods are really useful!
Although I felt a little ashamed, I still learned and applied it.
He said with pity: "Even so, I couldn't bear to demote him, so he demoted two people to take him."
All the princes in the court looked like old men on the subway.
What the hell?
He's obviously the top pick, but you're lowering the admissions by two places as if it's for his own good?
"Your Majesty, think twice, is this talent promotion ceremony child's play?"
Zhang Songyue, the first assistant, bowed deeply and said: "Since the order has been determined, how can we change it at will? In the long run, you will have no power!"
The emperor's golden words cannot be changed.
Otherwise, credibility will be lost!
Emperor Jingshun smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said directly without further explanation: "Teacher, the matter has been decided, so be it."
Zhang Songyue was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and said with a hint:
"Although it is undesirable to behave like a child prodigy, it is even more important to guard against the disaster of eunuchs!"
Eunuch refers to Dai Quan?
Now all the princes also reacted.
What did Dai Quan just say to make the emperor personally manipulate the talent selection ceremony?
Wouldn’t this be self-destruction of the Great Wall?
But they all understand that there is no eunuch in the world.
The so-called eunuchs are nothing more than a shield in front of the monarchy.
And this Dai Quan does not represent monarchy.
It's the Supreme Emperor.
Emperor Jingshun naturally could not admit it.
He looked around and announced directly: "Let's release the list!"
The chamberlain repeated loudly: "Release the list~~!"
Zhang Songyue sighed and said helplessly: "I also understand the emperor's difficulties, but... alas!"
No one else spoke anymore.
Everyone at their level knows the emperor's difficulties.
To put it simply, the word "filial piety" is overwhelming.
This Feng Yuan offended the Supreme Emperor for whatever reason.
But it was obvious that the emperor had tried hard.
Downgraded by two, but still at level one.
Emperor Jingshun knew that they all had their suspicions, but no one could bring them to the table.
Otherwise, it would be like the Supreme Emperor interfering in the talent promotion ceremony.
Rather than the possible party strife, it is better to wrong the champion first...
No, now he is Tanhualang.
Feng Yibo, the scout, didn’t know yet that the top pick had been lost.
He and Zhou Jun sat at the gate of Gongyuan waiting for the roll call.
After the palace examination gold list is announced, a roll call will be held in the singing building of Gongyuan.
There is no need to rush forward this time.
The two of them sat in the carriage sipping tea and waiting for the gold list to be released.
"Yibo must win three yuan this time! Jiang Ning and his parents are waiting to take advantage of it!"
Zhou Jun looked at Feng Yibo enviously, his tone was very sincere.
He was able to win a tribute, and felt that his performance was extraordinary.
Therefore, the psychological expectations for this ranking are very low.
In all likelihood, he was born in the same place as a Jinshi.
But Feng Yibo has already won two yuan in a row.
If I want to win the top prize again this time, it will be the third prize.
By that time, the entire Jiangning County was famous throughout the country.
Everyone in the county should hold their heads high when going out to show their true pride.
"Brother Boyan, please don't say it's a joke. I've already exhausted all my strength to win two yuan. I don't know whether I can get into the first grade in this imperial examination."
Although Feng Yibo is somewhat confident, he dare not say that he will definitely win the top prize.
Of course, he is a Hui Yuan.
No matter how poorly you perform in the imperial examination, you can still get a top grade.
If it is a practical talk, it can hit the emperor's mind.
That one is almost inevitable.
As for the three yuan ranking, he has some expectations in his heart.
But also know.
Whether this ranking is good or not depends on the emperor's mood.
It's too subjective.
I think it is well written, but others may not think so.
People have filters for their own things.
Just like the novels written by many people, I feel that they are at least excellent.
(This is the author himself)
But in the end it was difficult to even sign the contract.
"Brother Boyan, judging from your state when the palace exam came out, you must have performed extremely well."
"My level is limited, no matter how much I perform, I can only do that!"
The two of them chatted about business with each other for a while, and then the gate of the Gongyuan over there opened.
First, the gold medal list was posted outside, and the roll call began in the choir building.
"In April of the tenth year of Jingshun, the emperor plans to test the world's tributes!"
"The first one is awarded the title of Jinshi, the second one is the Jinshi origin, and the third one is the same Jinshi background."
"First place in the first class, Liu Zheng, 31 years old, from Jiyang County, Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province."
"Second place in the first class, Yang Mingxin, thirty-nine years old, from Qingjiang County, Linjiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province."
There is no one in the top two, and Feng Yibo's heart is sinking!
Just then, the dog came back happily.
He shouted: "Little master, you have won the lottery!"
He came back quickly after just seeing it on the gold list.
It happened that Feng Yibo was also called out in the singing building over there.
"Third place in the first class, Feng Yuan, eighteen years old, from Jiangning County, Yingtian Prefecture, Jiangnan."
"..."
A big stone finally fell to the ground.
"Take it!"
Feng Yibo smiled and gave Gouzi some wedding money.
But I felt a little disappointed.
In the end, I couldn’t get the third prize!
However, this loss also passed quickly.
It is enough to be a Jinshi.
I will also be able to join the cabinet in the future!
Opposite him, Zhou Jun cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to Tan Hua Lang!"
His eyes were full of envy, and he turned to ask Gouzi again.
"Did you see my ranking?"
The dog scratched his head sheepishly.
"Uncle Zhou, wait a moment, I'm going to take a look again!"
Just as he was about to turn around, Zhou Jun's long drill came back and shouted:
"Congratulations, uncle! The one hundred and sixty-sixth place in the second class! Congratulations, uncle! Born in the second class as a Jinshi!"
Zhou Jun seemed a little unbelievable after hearing this, and confirmed: "What? Did you see it clearly?"
Chang Sui took a breath and then said: "Uncle, I looked carefully several times. Although you are the last one in the second class, it is really you!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Zhou Jun laughed and jumped off the carriage, shouting: "Ancestors bless you!"
Feng Yibo also raised his hand to him at this time: "Congratulations to Brother Boyan!"
A second-class Jinshi is much better than a third-class Jinshi.
At least when you get promoted in the future, you won't be looked down upon because of your background.
"Joy and rejoice together!"
Zhou Jun's hand gesture was deformed, and he couldn't close his mouth.
Even if he passed the Gongshi exam or ranked at the bottom, he was already thankful.
I never imagined that I could be a second-class Jinshi!
It was like a dream.
Zhou Jun was still a little worried, so he pulled Chang Sui and said, "Let me go and confirm."
Not long after he left, a handsome young man came over.
This person came over and raised his hand to Feng Yibo.
"Feng Tanhua, Liu has given in this time!"
