From the fourth place to the tenth place, after each announcement, a talented man walked out of the team and stood at the gate of the Zhaoxuan Hall to thank him.

The golden-armored guards waiting at the gate of the palace listened to the sound one after another, and their hearts finally calmed down.

It seems that you heard it right!

This time, the announcement was from fourth to tenth.

The top three are not out yet!

Although they don't know what happened in it, as the golden armor guards who announced the list, their responsibilities are very clear, and the four-door newspaper is the honor of the top three.

Then, for the time being, there is no need to act.

The Golden Guard's heart calmed.

But Wu Feng's heart couldn't be calm for a long time, and he stood in front of the Zhaoxuan Hall with a row of talented people to thank him, which should have been a happy thing.

But he couldn't be happy at all now, and even he could feel the strange gazes of the talented people behind him when they looked at him.

"First place, I am obviously the first place, why is this happening?" Wu Feng was unwilling, he didn't believe it, he was waiting, waiting for Zuo Xiangyu Yiping's "reflection".

However, it wasn't until Zuo Xiangyu Yiping finished reporting the tenth place that he still didn't admit his mistake, but carefully put away the silk cotton, and then respectfully handed it to the saint Lin Mubai.

"Please declare the top three in the list of Your Majesty!"

"Hmm. The Holy Lin Mubai nodded slightly, and the Gonggong Wei who was standing next to him immediately took the silk cotton handed over by Zuo Xiangyu Yiping, and respectfully handed it back to the Holy Lin Mubai's hands.

The saint Lin Mubai stretched out his hand to take the silk cotton, but he did not open it immediately, but swept his gaze to the talents not far away again, and his expression was slightly fierce.

"What about Fang Zhengzhi?!"

This is the most concerned question in the heart of the saint Lin Mubai now.

He could make the announcement right now, but what would happen after the announcement was over? No one came to thank him, what was the matter?

Could it be that Fang Zhengzhi is hiding in the crowd. Didn't you see it yourself?

Saint Lin Mubai could only think like this in his heart, because he didn't believe that Fang Zhengzhi was so bold that he even dared to be absent from the announcement.

If that guy really dares to embarrass me, I'll have to cut off his head!

Saint Lin Mubai scolded hatefully, and then. He finally spoke: "In this palace test, I have seen a lot of refreshing suggestions, and I have also seen the future of the Great Xia Dynasty, however, the name of the top three is limited after all, I have to choose from it, and you may be defeated, but don't be discouraged." We must study hard and wait for the title of the gold list in the future!"

"Emperor Xie!"

When all the talented people heard the instructions of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai, they immediately thanked the Holy Grace.

Saint Lin Mubai nodded again, and then, he also fully unfolded the silk cotton, his eyes swept over the silk cotton, and after a while, he spoke: "The first leader in the literary examination of this palace examination is ...... Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi!"

The voice fell. But instead of causing cheers and celebrations from the audience as before, the audience was silent. Because, everyone's eyes widened and looked at the saint sitting on the dragon chair.

After a few moments, the silence was slowly broken, but the cheers still did not sound, and everyone was looking at me. I looked at it, unable to believe what I was hearing.

"Did I hear me right? It's Nangong Hao?!"

"It shouldn't be, I heard it too, but how could it be Nangong Hao. Didn't he get the edict?"

"Could it be that he lied to Wu Feng?"

After hearing Nangong Hao's three words, all the talented people couldn't react, Nangong Hao said in person that he didn't receive the holy edict.

Why did the name of the first leader in the literary examination fall into the hands of Nangong Hao this time?

Although this is something that everyone expected for a long time, it is still incomprehensible to reappear after the Holy Edict incident.

Of course......

The most important thing is that the shock still comes from the name behind Nangong Hao, the name that the civil and military officials and talents of the Manchu Dynasty don't want to mention.

"Fang Zhengzheng?!"

"The first leaders in the literary examination of this palace examination are Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi!"

Saint Lin Mubai's voice still kept echoing in everyone's minds.

"What does this mean...... Why is there a square upright besides Nangong Hao?!"

"There are two people who are the first leaders in the palace examination and literature examination?!"

"How can there be two people!"

"Moreover, how can another person be Fang Zhengzhi, didn't Fang Zhengzhi not receive the holy edict? This is completely unreasonable!"

No one wants to understand what is going on, and if Nangong Hao is set as the first in the literary examination, this is still acceptable.

Even if Nangong Hao did not receive the holy edict.

After all, Nangong Hao's talent and reputation have long been recognized as the first in the hearts of the people of the Great Xia Dynasty, but it is obviously a bit abnormal to set Fang Zhengzhi as the first again.

Two people who did not receive the edict were designated as first at the same time?

Tied for first place?

This is something that has never happened in all dynasties, and it is tied for first place in the palace examination!

Wu Feng's eyes were about to pop out at this moment.

How so?

His first place was robbed by Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi? But the problem is that Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi obviously didn't receive the holy edict, why?

"Your Majesty, Your ......Minister" Wu Feng's lips opened, and he finally raised a step, but at this time, he saw the gaze of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai.

It was a gaze that could not be questioned.

It represents the supreme authority of the emperor.

This made the foot he had raised stopped, and he froze silently in mid-air, unable to step on the ground at all, and unable to speak again when it came to his mouth.

Like Wu Feng, there was also Zuo Xiangyu Yiping, as well as the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who didn't know why such a thing happened.

This is a palace test!

It is not compared to the court test, there is no palace test in all dynasties and dynasties that has the same ranking, the court test can be, the government test is also okay, but the palace test is to be rated as "the first talent in the world" by the people of the world.

In the same palace examination, can there be two "No. 1 talents in the world"?

It's counterintuitive, and. They didn't believe it in their hearts, and they didn't believe that Fang Zhengcheng could be in the same position as Nangong Hao.

Zuo Xiangyu Yiping's lips moved, and he stopped talking a little.

The civil and military officials also looked at the saint Lin Mubai with a puzzled expression, and even the personnel in charge of announcing the list stood in place in a little stunned.

I don't know if I should announce it right away.

Saint Lin Mubai looked at the puzzled faces below, of course he knew the current thoughts of the civil and military officials, but. He is the saint of today, a generation of emperors.

How can he make a decision that others can question?

In fact, although he was not sure in his heart before asking Prince Li to make a judgment, he actually had a rough conclusion, but after listening to Prince Li's words, his decision changed.

Public!

This is the only word he expected to follow in his heart when reviewing the test papers and judging the ranking of this palace exam in the Zhaoxuan Palace, and he originally thought that he had done it. But it didn't.

Wen, since he is a good man, why should he be forced to score up and down!

For the sake of the rules of the palace examination, the two scholars of Bo Xuan artificially set a distinction between upper and lower, this is inherently unfair, since it is unfair, why do you want to do it?

I am the rule!

As for why they didn't come to see the Holy Edict Fang Zhengzhi and Nangong Hao before the announcement, this reason is actually quite simple, because, in these strategies. There are only three strategies that are literary and mainly "war".

Then, the name of the top three has actually been decided a long time ago.

If your heart is already determined, why do you need to say goodbye?

It is enough for the talents who are in the fourth to tenth places in the direct edict to re-rank those essays in the name of "harmony".

It's not that the Holy Lord Lin Mubai is lazy, but this time he personally read two hundred test papers and delayed too many court and political affairs. I really can't spare time to meet a few more people.

Besides, Fang Zheng......

Whether you can see it or not, in fact, it really doesn't make much difference.

Saint Lin Mubai knew that he was the emperor, and of course the decision made by the emperor could not be questioned, but. But he had to give the world an explanation, and it had to be reasonable.

"I made such a decision today, Zhongqing may be a little surprised, but in fact, this matter is also reasonable, as the so-called, there is no first, there is no second, since I ascended the throne, I have been slightly innumerable, I thought that I could comment on my eyes to pick the top and bottom of the text, but Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi These two strategies, I can't pick them out!"

"Can't pick it out!"

I couldn't pick out a sentence, and it sounded at the door of the Zhaoxuan Palace.

But let the civil and military officials and all the talented people look at each other.

The meaning of this sentence is too easy to discern, it means that there is no choice, but when this sentence comes out of the mouth of the saint today, the deep meaning in it can be imagined.

Even today's saints can't distinguish between the upper and lower texts, what kind of literary style should this be?

In a word, it reflects the humility and magnanimity of the saint Lin Mubai, and puts Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi in a position that is enough to be equal to the current saint.

Wu Feng's face was completely red at this moment.

His mind flashed quickly to the scene in the Dian Mo Building last night, when he was preaching his strategy in the palace examination in front of Fang Zheng.

Think back to the present.

There was a burning pain in his face.

"There is no first, there is no second, Your Majesty's father, the sky can be learned!" a courtier quickly knelt down at this time.

Immediately afterwards, the other courtiers also fell to their knees.

"Your Majesty's Holy Judgment!"

No one dared to question the decision of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai, because he was the current Holy Lord, the Son of Heaven, and the emperor who dominated the world of the Great Xia Dynasty.

When the other talents heard this, they all knelt down in the same way.

The palace personnel in charge of announcing the announcement finally came to their senses.

"The first leaders in the palace examination are Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi!"

"The first leaders in the palace examination are Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi!"

"The first leader of the palace examination ......"

One by one, the voices were transmitted from the gate of the Zhaoxuan Palace to the main entrance of the palace.

The crowd at the main entrance of the entire palace was boiling in an instant, the leaders of the first class turned out to be two people, and besides, it turned out to be Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi?

Orthodox!

tied for first place with Nangong Hao!

Some of the shabby-dressed people cheered quickly, shouting Fang Zheng's name loudly, and in the crowd, several people dressed in black also looked at each other and quickly left.

The gold-armored guards rode their horses and galloped towards the direction of the four gates, shouting loudly one by one: "The first leader of the palace examination is Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi!"

The sound echoed in Yanjing City, and it also made the entire Yanjing City boil.

And in front of the palace of the Zhaoxuan Palace, Nangong Hao, who was dressed in white, also slowly walked out of the crowd at this time, his steps were very slow, but very steady.

Every step seems to have a pattern with it.

It's just that there is a faint excitement at the corner of his mouth, which is not a kind of excitement after winning the list, but an excitement of finding an opponent.

Is it tied?

This temple test is a bit interesting.

"Grass people thank you!" Nangong Hao stood in the center after walking to the door of the Zhaoxuan Palace, bowed slightly, and said to the Holy Lord Lin Mubai.

"Grass people?" Saint Lin Mubai sighed slightly in his heart, and in the end he didn't say anything, just looked behind Nangong Hao.

Behind Nangong Hao, there were empty patches, except for Nangong Hao.

No one is out of the ranks!

"Fang Zhengzhi, this guy really didn't come!" Saint Lin Mubai's gaze froze, and an invisible coercion was suddenly released in the air.

When the other civil and military officials saw this scene, how could they not know the mood of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai at the moment.

As today's saint, a generation of emperors.

announced the list in public and gave Fang Zheng the supreme honor, but what about Fang Zheng? Not only did he not thank him, but he didn't even see his personal shadow, how could he bear it?

If Fang Zhengzhi did not make the list today.

That's fine, under the magnanimity of the saint, it can naturally be regarded as not seeing.

But he was hit!

Moreover, he is also the first leader in the middle of the class!

How can you turn a blind eye?

"Fang Zhengzhi, where is Fang holding the sword?" Saint Lin Mubai's gaze swept over the talented crowd not far away, and his voice was very calm, but this calm voice revealed a penetrating power of panic.

It spread through the air like sharp arrows.

No one dared to step forward and answer.

Talented people are all one by one, you look at me, I look at you.

And the civil and military officials also looked at the talented people one by one at this moment, and a thought rose in their hearts, Fang Zhengzhi was just late, why didn't he come now?

This is a real sin of ignoring imperial power.

A hint of coldness appeared at the corner of Zuo Xiangyu Yiping's mouth, of course he noticed that Fang Zhengzhi did not come, and originally thought that he would wait for the announcement to be completed before joining Fang Zhengzhi's book.

Can ...... now

It seems that there is no need to join him himself.

Fang Zhengzhi actually hit the list, and he is still the first leader of the head!

I really didn't know it was a happy event......

Still a catastrophe is coming.

The emperor's face is gone, and I am afraid that there is no place for Fang Zhengzhi to turn over, right? Even if the saint is magnanimous, this sin will definitely not be easily forgiven. (To be continued.) )
