Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and with an uneasy mood, all the candidates stepped into the palace gate, but no one dared to look around, and their palms were sweating with nervousness.

Following the guidance of the father-in-law, the candidates came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and sat down in order according to the ranking, their eyebrows drooping slightly, and respectfully waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was silent except for breathing, and no other sound could be heard.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, there was a great momentum outside the hall. Even if the emperor had not come, they could already feel the amazing momentum.

"Your Majesty is here—" A

bright yellow shadow appeared on the hall. No one dared to look up. The examinees knelt down one after another: "Long live, long live , my

emperor." Majesty, after all the scholars got up, the emperor ordered the issue of test questions, which were simply a few words "what should the country be based on, what officials should do, and what should the world be like in a prosperous world", the scope can be very broad or very narrow, depending on the situation How do you answer.

Li Yaonan's brows moved, the country was based on the people, the husband had taken him in the test earlier, but he did not expect that this time the question would be guessed by the husband again, and he really married a treasure.

Zhang Qixian was initially apprehensive, but when he saw the questions of the palace exam, his heart burst into joy. He was full of admiration for his cousin. Originally, he was worried that the exam would be too good. Where to put it, how can I still have face, who knows that when I am worried, the pillow will be delivered.

Zhang Qixian was full of confidence and high ambition, and decided that this time, he would also take his cousin's exam. He felt relieved when he thought that his results were better than his cousin's in the palace exam. Don't give him up yet.

Zhang Qixian was dreaming happily. Li Yaonan had already started answering the exam questions. The palace exam only lasted for two hours. After writing, he had to check and revise.

The country is people-oriented, and the way to govern a country must first enrich the people and exercise benevolent governance. A hero, the leader of the country, the common people, the foundation of the country...

Li Yaonan devoted himself to shielding all perceptions from the outside world, and put his whole mind on the answer sheet.

The emperor sat high on the throne, and his eyes calmly swept across the candidates who were answering the questions. These people may be the pillars of his court in the future. When he saw Li Yaonan, the emperor's eyes paused. This was his first time. Seeing this well-known boy for a long time, I didn't expect to be so young, and it really is a teenager.

Time passed bit by bit, and as the bell rang, the invigilators began to rewind the papers. The candidates who did not finish the answer were sweating profusely, and watched the examiner take away the test questions. , However, he did not dare to shout, nor did he dare to shout, because this was the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the emperor was still sitting on it.

If he failed the palace exam, at least he was still a jinshi, but if the imperial court failed, it would be a serious crime.

Li Yaonan was not in a hurry, and he always behaved very calmly. His kind of bearing made the emperor remember it well.

The time for grading the papers is very long, and the waiting time is even more difficult. Li Yaonan's heart is rarely tense. Even if he pretends not to care, as his bedside person, how could Lin Yixuan not find out, and in desperation, he can only hold his son to tease him. happy.

Xiao Xu'er is indeed a little bastard. As soon as she grabbed her hand and cried in her throat, Li Yaonan was still nervous, and her head was going to be made a big deal by her son.

Only Zhang Qixian is heartless, his ranking was originally picked up, and no matter how bad it is, it will not be bad, so this guy is very open-minded, good luck is luck, bad is impossible, at most is the name Staying a little further back is enough to deal with his father no matter what. He eats and sleeps well, and he goes out to parties when he has nothing to do, so he is not worried at all.

Lin Yixuan's teeth itch with hatred. He knew that he shouldn't be cheap, and gave him a few knife eyes. It's a pity that Zhang Qixian is very nervous, and currently he admires Lin Yixuan very much. Sorry, he didn't notice it at all.

As soon as the three days arrived, gongs and drums were played at the Imperial Ranking Office, and the results were announced by the imperial attendant, who was also close to the emperor. The names were read from back to front. Only the top 100 were selected in the palace test. The second place, the second flower, and the second top are the top ten, and the top three are the jinshi. Those who fail the palace exam are the same jinshi, and their grades are more than one step lower than the jinshi.

The people who heard the name of the Servant Reader cried with joy, and at that time some people were howling.

There are also people who are extremely lost, their heads can't stop looking around, their ears are pricked up to listen, and they only hope that the next person will be able to call their name.

Some people cry happily, and some people cry sadly. The further back, the more people are lost.

Lu Zhian won the 23rd place. He raised his lips in a good mood and exhaled deeply. The hope of their Lu family's generation was on him.

Li Yaozu's face was ugly, and he didn't have any surprises from high school. He didn't even enter the top two in the eighteenth place. One can imagine the discomfort in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Pengyi won the 11th place, and the color of his entire face turned blue. Li Yaonan just wanted to laugh. He couldn't

get into the Hanlin if he did n't get into the top two. The 11th was really a good ranking. If it weren't for him and Zhang Qixian, Fan Pengyi would be in the top two and ranked ninth, and the two of them just squeezed out.

The tenth is Ge Honghui, who will try the thirteenth.

The ninth place went to Shen Hongzhi, who was going to be fourth in the test. He was a little disappointed in his heart, but he was still very happy to be in the top two. He quickly put aside the disappointment and accepted the congratulations from others with a smile.

...

"Haha, I hit it, I hit it, I hit it, I knew I would go to high school." Zhang Qixian laughed madly, but he didn't expect him to be sixth in high school.

Li Yaonan's lips curled up, and he was also very happy, because the fifth place was still not him, but Liu Liyang. If the next high school jinshi was not himself, then he was confident that he would definitely be in the top three this time. , as long as it is in the top 1, it doesn't matter what ranking he ranks, what he is fighting for is a reputation.

Sure enough, the fourth jinshi was Qi Yunshan. This old gentleman did have some talent for learning. Although he fell into the top two this time, his grades were already very good.

Then, the official set off firecrackers, Li Yaonan's eyes were like torches, and his eyes were fixed on the front.

As the waiter read out his name, Li Yaonan took a few steps forward excitedly.

"Where is Li Yaonan? Where is Tanhua Lang?" The Imperial Servant read aloud, his eyes swept around the crowd.

"Here." Li Yaonan laughed loudly and put down the stone in his heart, Tanhualang, he liked this name.

"Congratulations to Tanhualang, congratulations to Tanhualang, and please ask Tanhualang to change." Another official came over with his clothes and smiled flatteringly.

Li Yaonan is also very generous, and the first shot is twenty taels.

The name in front of him was already called Dao Jinke No. 2. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Chang Hehui. Li Yaonan thought that Chang Hehui would become the champion of this division.

"Where is Li Mingzhang? Where is the champion?" The Imperial Servant called out loudly.

Everyone was taken aback, no one thought that Li Mingzhang would suddenly become the champion, and the lowly people whispered, but Li Mingzhang's grades were placed there, and he was sixth in the exam, and this time he became the champion. Others were speechless.

Li Yaonan was very surprised. He was worried about Li Mingzhang just now, but found that he didn't come today, and the waiter didn't call his name. He thought he didn't pass the exam, so he didn't bother to come.

An official hurriedly replied: "Reporting to your lord, it seems that the champion has not come today." The

Imperial Servant frowned, and then he seemed to remember something, and his brows relaxed again in a flash, and said lightly: "Go to his house and summon him. , I'm going to parade the streets later today, and I'm going to face the Holy Spirit tomorrow."

"Yes." The official responded, called a few people, beat gongs and drums all the way, and ran straight to Beiweihou Mansion.

Li Yaonan and Chang Hehui were old acquaintances, they greeted each other and sat quietly in the yamen waiting, not saying a word.

Chang Hehui is in his 40s this year, and he can't tell his personality just by listening to his speech. However, just by looking at his wise eyes, Li Yaonan has a bottom line. This person must not be fooled. To mention a serious matter, it is also very pleasant to talk about.

It didn't take long for Li Mingzhang to arrive, dressed in a red auspicious costume and wearing a flower feather on the top of his head. He really responded to the old saying of the ancients.

There was not much time, so Li Yaonan didn't ask any further questions. The band in front was beating gongs and drums.

For the first time in ancient times, Li Yaonan enjoyed the feeling of being watched.

When he got home, he was already tired and lay down. Although he liked riding a horse very much, he didn't have that hobby for the time being after riding a horse for a day. Fortunately, the weather was cold now. Bubble.

On the second day of entering the palace, all the top 30 people in the imperial examination will enter the palace to express their gratitude.

It was the first time I attended the court meeting, and it was the only time I attended the court meeting in the next few years. Li Yaonan watched it very carefully. As the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted long live, this scene, this momentum, this shock, no wonder So many people like to be king.

And this is still outside the Golden Palace, there is no emperor's publicity, they are Jinke Jinshi, temporarily unable to enter. Just thinking about this in my heart, I heard a shrill voice coming from the hall: "Xuan Jinke Jinshi is invited to visit——"

Then, a eunuch outside the hall shouted: "Xuan Jinke Jinshi interview——"

and then another voice It came from not far away: "

Xuanjinke Scholars have an audience—" Li Yaonan wiped away a cold sweat. Is this an ancient megaphone? He was very wise, he didn't have time to think too much, followed closely behind Chang Hehui, the group followed the etiquette they had learned earlier, their eyebrows drooped slightly, and they could not look directly. : "See my emperor, long live, long live, long live." The

emperor nodded slightly, and the eunuch behind shouted: "Pingsheng——"

"Thank you, the emperor." The

emperor nodded, looked at them lightly, said a few words, encouraged The words: "All the Qing families are the pillars of my great Jin Dynasty. I hope you will work hard in the future to benefit one party."

So everyone knelt down again and said in unison: "Wei Chen will live up to the emperor's expectations."

"Well!" The emperor After asking them a few more words, they asked everyone to back down. This time, the worship was quite satisfactory, and no one was particularly outstanding, and no one was disappointed, because they all knew that the main event was the Qionglin Banquet, and that was where they showed their talents. , If you are lucky, you might even be favored by the emperor.
