Next, in fact, more than a dozen examiners still have very important things to do.

The first and second places have been decided, but the third and ninety-fifth places have not yet been decided.

But everyone is already dull and boring.

Because the first-place exam paper is too rebellious, and the second-place exam paper is too good.

The rest of the exam papers are obviously excellent, but against the backdrop of the first and second places, it really looks dull.

And everyone has an obsession in their heads, that is, they want to know who the first place of the hell is?

I really can't imagine that there is a ghost in Canglang Province who hides so deeply, which is too terrifying.

It is under this suspense that when the next ranking is determined, it seems very dull and bland.

This is very rare, as it is often at this time that the examiners quarrel the most.

Because everyone's tastes are different after all, you think this one is good, I think that one is good, so there are usually big differences in some rankings.

But today there is no disagreement at all, and it seems to be especially harmonious.

Not because of unity, but because all feelings are exhausted.

first gave all his emotions to Su Mang, and almost set him as the first Xie Yuan in his heart.

But I didn't expect another ghost to pop up, directly taking away the first place, and taking away everyone's emotions.

So the next step is to be very calm.

Once you calm down, it's very impressive.

Soon the third to tenth places were decided.

After the top 10 was decided, it was much scribbled from 11th to 95th.

Although it is still serious, it is not very careful. Sometimes there is no distinction between the strategy and the poem, so I simply use the first day's post and the scripture test as a reference, because there are scores, which is very intuitive, and it is clear who is high and who is low.

And the chief examiner, Lord Yu Zheng, actually has another thought, what about Ao Yu's exam papers?

That gentleman slept in the exam room for three days, especially the first day of the post and scriptures, it was completely a sea of questions tactic, and he slept on his stomach shortly after he started the exam, so there must have been a lot of blank papers.

Therefore, Ao Yu's test papers must have been swept away in the first batch, and he was not even qualified to be seen as a strategy and poetry.

Lord Yu Zheng really wanted to ask, has anyone seen a large number of white scrolls, but he was embarrassed to ask, as if he was narrow-minded.

But it was as if an examiner saw Yu Zheng's doubts.

Well, in fact, it's not just Yu Zheng, but all the examiners present who are confused.

How did that world's No. 1 waste Ao Yu do in the exam? No, to be exact, what should it be?

The examiner said: "I reviewed an exam paper, on the first day of the post and scripture exam, I only answered thirty questions, and I made twenty mistakes, and the rest were all white papers, so it should be Ao Yu's." ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole room suddenly relaxed.

Finally a suspense has been solved, hahaha!

It's not that many examiners gloat, it's really the marking of the papers in the past few days that has suffocated everyone.

It's so hard.

For several days and nights in a row, they were all in this house, eating, drinking, and Lazar were all inside, and they couldn't leave a single step.

It's so depressing.

"Ao Yu, this is an extraordinary performance. The deputy examiner said, "I heard that the night before the exam, he was still memorizing the fifth page of the mean." I thought he would be able to get five questions right, but I didn't expect to get ten questions right. ”

"yes, overplay, overplay. ”

All the rankings have been decided, and the next step is the final review.

What is the so-called audit, that is, to check whether all the examination papers have committed taboos, such as the name of the emperor, the name of the ancestor and so on.

In addition, is there any content that violates political correctness? Is there any insinuation, hidden attack on the imperial court, and attack on the emperor?

In particular, pay attention to whether there are hidden words in these articles, hidden sentences or something.

In case any candidate gets into the water in his brain, hides his first sentence in the strategy, and has the intention of rebellion, it will be completely finished, and the examiners present will be implicated

But generally speaking, it won't, it's not easy to get to today, and those who enter the examination room are the elites of the readers, and the township test completely determines the fate of the future, who will joke with the future and life.

"It's all to blame Lord Zhu Lantian, he left a hidden head in the manuscript behind "The Stone Record", and killed the Ao Ting father and son, and also pitted our big guys. ”

The work is also too boring.

Thirteen examiners, checked over and over again.

"By the way, the Marquis of Nulang has been in Beijing for several months, what does Your Majesty mean by this?" said a fellow examiner.

Before, he would certainly not have said this.

But everyone was locked up in this house for a few days and nights, reading papers together, eating, drinking and Lazar together, the key atmosphere was still very harmonious, and the relationship seemed to be a lot closer, so we had to talk a little more openly.

yes, that's weird.

Ao Xin, Marquis of Nulang, has been in Beijing for a few months, just to have a showdown with the emperor, saying that he does not need an heir, and the title and family business must be handed over to his own son Ao Yu.

The emperor did not agree, but did not let him go home.

If you want to say that there is important military business, it is completely none.

Ao Xin, a hussar general, only has great power when he is fighting, and he has the power of hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands.

But when there is no war, all the military power is in the hands of the emperor, and he, a hussar general, has nothing to do.

Even the errand of training the troops was handed over to others.

"Isn't it always rumored that the Marquis of Nulang wants to be made a lieutenant, does he want to be a duke?" said a fellow examiner.

The deputy chief examiner is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he is considered to be in the center of the imperial court, and suddenly said: "What is the possibility of the Taiwei, the duke? ”

"Lord Min, you can tell me carefully. The examiner next to him hurriedly asked.

Min Jinyuan, the deputy chief examiner, Hanlin Bachelor, said: "In last year's battle, although we kept saying that we won, we actually lost, losing hundreds of thousands of troops and losing the borderless land. It's just that he assassinated the opposing coach and detained him in the name of healing and rescue, which was regarded as capturing the opponent's coach and then shouting victory. ”

Everyone nodded.

Everyone knows that the people may have been fooled and felt that this battle was won, but as court officials, of course, they clearly knew that this battle was completely lost.

Not to mention the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops, the point is that the entire borderlands have been lost.

"We have been negotiating with the Great Win Empire for several rounds, and at first we wanted to exchange the Winning Empire for half of the Borderland, with the Great West City as the boundary, the north to the Great Victory, and the south to my Great Zhou, but the Great Win refused. Only one more condition was changed, exchanging the winning company for the city, we put the winning money back, and the big win sold the platform to us. ”

The examiner next to him said, "What about the result?"

Min Jinyuan, a scholar from Hanlin, said: "The Great Win Empire still refused, and their request was to release the Winning Empire unconditionally, in return for their willingness to recognize the honorary independence of the Borderlands, and not to publicly claim to occupy the Borderlands, nor to classify the Borderlands as a province of the Great Win Empire. ”

As soon as these words came out, the examiners present scolded one after another, scolding the big win empire for being too cunning.

You don't want to pay any price, you plan to empty the gloves white wolf, the borderless land has obviously been actually occupied by you, what difference does it make if you declare it or not?

In fact, there is still a difference, the Great Win Empire does not claim to occupy the borderless land, and it is not classified as a province of the Great Win Empire, which gives the Southern Zhou Empire a fig leaf, at least to make all the people in the world feel that the Southern Zhou Empire did not lose this battle, but won.

Because the Borderlands is still an independent existence, it was not occupied by the Great Win Empire, but the commander of the Great Win Empire was captured by us, isn't this still a win?

In this way, at least the emperor's face in the world can be preserved.

"The result?" said the examiner.

"Of course it fell apart. Min Jinyuan said: "Wait, once the negotiations are completely broken, and the Great Win Empire declares that it will completely occupy the borderless land and divide it into a province, there will be a tsunami in our Southern Zhou Empire, and all the people in the world and the elite scholars will definitely set off a frenzy again, and the victory or defeat of this war will definitely be completely taken out and made clear." At that time, it will definitely no longer be a case of confusion. ”

One of the same examiners below said: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, people who really have brains in the water stand up and shout something like returning to politics, that is, the world is turned upside down, and I don't know how many people will be killed." ”

At this time, Yu Zheng said: "Don't talk about this matter, if you talk about it again, you will get into trouble." ”

Suddenly, the same examiner immediately slapped himself, which was really smooth, patronizing and happy, and even said such words as returning to government.

This word is absolutely taboo, and it is really deadly to say it.

What is returning to power?

Although the current Emperor Taishang is old, he is still very energetic and sharp-minded, completely like the gods of Zhenguo.

A few years ago, Emperor Taishang abdicated because he had reigned for more than fifty years, and Emperor Taizong of the Southern Zhou Empire was known as the First Emperor of the Ages and reigned for fifty-one years.

Emperor Tianyan is also remarkable, the Southern Zhou Empire has already been in decline, and it is going downhill, and even in danger.

It was Emperor Tianyan's 50 years of reign that made great efforts to conquer and develop the Southern Barbarians, which expanded the territory of the empire by more than one million square kilometers, not only stopped the decline, but also became the top power in the world in one fell swoop.

You must know that a few decades ago, the Southern Zhou Empire was beaten by the Great Liang Kingdom, and it was a land cutoff, a reparation, and a harmony, and it was humiliated.

Therefore, this Tianyan Emperor is not only the lord of Zhongxing, he not only saved the Southern Zhou Empire, but also expanded the empire by one-third of its territory, which is somewhat similar to the level of Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu.

Therefore, if Emperor Tianyan continued to do it back then, there would be no problem at all, and all the people in the world would also surrender. But he didn't want to reign longer than Emperor Taizong, so he abdicated early and let the crown prince succeed him, which is the current Wanyun Emperor.

Everyone thinks that Emperor Tianyan is just a superficial abdication, and he will definitely hold the imperial power firmly.

This kind of example is also known to everyone, and a certain perfect old man in the Manchu Qing Dynasty did just that. So when Emperor Jiaqing was in power, He Shen was very powerful, and he didn't take Emperor Jiaqing very seriously, and it wasn't until this perfect old man hung up that Emperor Jiaqing did He Shen.

But I didn't expect that after Emperor Tianyan abdicated, he really handed over all power.

In order to show his attitude, Emperor Tianyan even closed the door of his palace, not allowing any courtiers to disturb him in any name.

If there is any music and any major event, all of them will be handed over to Emperor Wanyun, don't come to disturb me to recuperate.

Therefore, there are usually only two people who can often see the emperor.

One is the current emperor, and the other is Princess Xiangxiang.

Who is Princess Xiangxiang? The most favored daughter of the emperor today, and also the most favored granddaughter of the emperor, the absolute pearl of the palm.

Despite his power, the pressure on Emperor Wan Yun was still great. The Emperor gave me all the power without any constraints, so what if I don't do well, what should I do?

If there is no Emperor Taishang, then Emperor Wan Yun will not do well if he is not very good, and no one can help him.

But with the presence of the Emperor, everything is different. If Emperor Wanyun really did a very bad job, then Emperor Taishang could actually be replaced.

In order to prove himself, Emperor Wanyun ambitiously proposed the Northern Expedition to join the battle for hegemony in the world.

But this first battle was lost, losing hundreds of thousands of troops and losing the Borderlands.

So many people actually have two words in their hearts: return to politics!

His Majesty the Emperor is still a little tender, so it's better to return the government to the Emperor.

This is just like a certain company back then, a certain bigwig Zhi has retired, and Mr. Yang has taken the position. But when the crisis came, the big guy had to come back to the rivers and lakes.

Although many officials and scholars have been saying the word "returning to government" in private, no one has just said it publicly.

Once you say it, it will really bleed.

Just now, a few examiners chatted and talked about some imperial secrets, including the negotiation with the big win empire, which seemed a bit taboo, but in fact, it didn't matter, this kind of talk was too much, and the officials talked more than this in the Qinglou.

But the word "return to power" is really an absolute taboo and must not be spoken.

Lord Yu Zheng frowned, although he didn't like the current Emperor Wanyun, but he was also resolutely opposed to returning the emperor to power.

Emperor Wanyun is in his fifties, in the prime of life, and with the emperor Taishang, the god of the town, even if there are some things that don't go well, it doesn't matter much, he can pass.

A few years later, another generation of Mingjun was born.

If the emperor is still in power, then the entire empire does not know how many more years of turmoil.

And to say a heart-wrenching word, the emperor is in his seventies, how many years can he live?

But there is no way, the affairs of the world are not transferred by his will.

Although no one has talked about it openly, it is like a deadly whirlpool under the surface of the water, which has been formed.

It's like a tornado that hasn't broken out yet, but the eye of the storm is about to form.

Once it erupts, I don't know how many people die.

Although some people don't really want to set off a storm of returning to power, they want to use the word "return to power" to harm people.

..............................

Because someone had just committed a taboo and said the word "return to government", the whole house once again fell into silence and depression.

But the atmosphere is even more terrifying.

So someone took the initiative to break the silence and said with a smile: "I wish Lord Lantian that the evening is not guaranteed!"

"Isn't it? obviously wrote such an ancient strange text as "The Story of the Stone", but he had to hand it over to Ao Yu, and I heard that he also accepted Ao Yu as an apprentice, just to fight Ao Ming, in order to fight Lin Xiang, it can be seen that he is still haunted by the things of the year. ”

"Don't stop worrying, when he started to enter the cabinet, he was directly kicked out of the court, which was completely a life-and-death feud. ”

"Revenge is excusable. But he actually picked a gentleman like Ao Yu, such a waste, and his lifelong reputation was completely ruined. ”

"Isn't it? Ao Ming's talent is on par with Su Mang, and compared to him, Ao Yu is really a crow to a phoenix. Lord Zhu Lantian actually pinned his hope of revenge on Ao Yu, he was really dizzy. ”

"During the three days of this scientific examination, Ao Yu slept for three days, which is simply a stain on the sacred imperial examination. ”

"This kind of waste, I have participated in the township examination for many years, and I have never seen it. ”

"This world's first waste is really worthy of its name!"

Sure enough, what if you want to break the awkward atmosphere? What if you want a harmonious atmosphere? It's very simple, just crusade against one person together.

Several examiners scolded Ao Yu together, and the atmosphere really became warm and harmonious again, and they suddenly forgot the word "return to government" that someone mentioned just now.

The most boring troubleshooting is done.

Next, it's time to unpack the name.

The most exciting moment is coming, and the biggest suspense is about to be revealed.

Who is this ghost and god talent who crushed Su Mang? You are hiding too deeply, more than a dozen of our examiners are simply scratching their ears and cheeks to know who you are, and now they can finally be revealed.

Lord Yu Zheng, the chief examiner, couldn't even wait, took out a paper cutter, and cut the paste paper covering the name.

This moment is full of sacred feelings.

Because the biggest suspense is about to be revealed.

All the examiners huddled over, then held their breath and waited for the final suspense to be solved.

The examiner, Lord Yu Zheng, suddenly revealed.

And then...... Completely and utterly stunned.

Because the name of this first-place exam paper is Ao Yu.

It was the son of the Marquis of Angry Waves, who they had just attacked and mocked for half an hour, and stopped the first waste Ao Yu.

There was a deathly silence, barely breathing.

I...... I'm a ball.

It's so scary.

Is there really a kind of dreamlike unreality? I, am I dazzled?

It's crazy!

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, and after a while, someone asked, "Is there two Ao Yu in this township test?"

"No! The surname Ao is very rare, and there is only one named Ao Yu, the son of the Marquis of Nulang. ”

"What's going on? Hasn't he been sleeping?"

"Maybe he finished writing early and then slept on his stomach?"

"But, isn't he the number one waste in the world?"

After a long time, someone asked, "Could it be that the questions of this township examination were really missed?"

After saying that, everyone shook their heads again.

His Majesty the Emperor was very concerned about the township examination in Canglang Province, and it was not until seven days before the township examination that the examination questions were really set.

Then the person who asked the question was immediately locked up in a corner of the palace and could not touch anyone.

And these questions are from dozens of people, even if one person misses the question, only some of them will be missed.

Not only that, but this exam question was also sent to Jiangzhou City by the emperor's most trusted master of the inner court, and then under the escort of the forbidden army.

Not only is it locked, but it also has a wax seal and a strong iron lock.

It's completely impossible to miss the topic.

And the question was missed, and only Ao Yu was missing? Ao Xin is a lonely minister, and he has no henchmen, why did he get the exam question?

"With a pig on his face, his heart is bright!" An examiner said: "This Ao Yu, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger." ”

"It seems that this "Stone Record" was really written by him. ”

"Lord Zhu Lantian is not dizzy, but his eyes are like torches, I am afraid that he really wants to pass through Ao Yu, a disciple, and give Lin Xiang a fatal blow!"

Then, Min Jinyuan, the deputy chief examiner, said: "Lord Yu Zheng, if Ao Yu is set as the first name Xie Yuan, I am afraid that it will set off a huge turmoil, do you really want to do this?"

Yu Zheng said lightly: "First of all, I don't like Ao Yu, what I hate the most is the children of the powerful." But did he cheat?"

"No!" everyone shook their heads.

Yu Zheng said: "Then did he commit a taboo in his exam papers?"

Everyone still shook their heads.

Yu Zheng said: "Then what turmoil are you afraid of? You are not afraid of shadows, so let's make the list according to this name!"

Suddenly, an examiner said: "As soon as this list is posted, I'm afraid that the whole Jiangzhou will be boiling, I really expect the Wei State Mansion and the Yuedan to evaluate the thirteen scholars will react?"

This tone is a bit gloating, obviously usually in the DPRK, he is oppressed by Lin Xiang's party.

Yu Zheng said: "Prepare the red paper, I'm going to write the list." ”

Next, the other examiners took out the big red paper that had been prepared a long time ago.

Mr. Yu Zheng meticulously wrote the list.

The first name Xie Yuan is Ao Yu.

Second place, Ya Yuan, Su Mang.

A full hour later, the red list was all written, and there were ninety-five people.

"You've all checked it, but there's something wrong?"

Everyone examined it carefully, and then said, "That's right, exactly." ”

What's more, it's not wrong, Lord Yu Zheng's writing is too good, the iron painting silver hook, the sharp edge, the force through the back of the paper.

Yu Zheng said: "Okay, then open the door, and then release the list! Everyone also go back to wash, and then sleep, I have stayed up for a few days and nights, and I have worked hard." ”

Then, when he stood up, he couldn't help but stumble and almost fell to the ground.

He is also almost seventy years old, and he has been boiling up from the beginning of the exam to the present, and he feels a little tired of oil.

Min Jinyuan, the deputy examiner next to him, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yu Gong, be careful, be careful!"

After a few days of contact, others have also discovered that this old man is not as bad as the legend says, and at the same time, he is iron-clad, but there is no lack of pity.

Why did you scare the sky and the earth before?

Lord Yu Zheng didn't say it, it was precisely because there were too many grievances that he couldn't help but be scared. This time, the township test of Canglang Province is fair and just, there is no injustice, and I am not a neurotic, who will scold whom.

"Open the door, release the list!"

With the order of Lord Yu Zheng, the door opened!

"Open the door, let the list go!"

........................

At this time, there was already a sea of people outside the gate of the Gongyuan!

Almost all the people who participated in the scientific expedition came, and those who did not participate also came, and tens of thousands of people were crowded.

Of course, no one was talking about Ao Yu at this time.

Because today is the day of the list, everything has nothing to do with Ao Yu.

His loss has become a foregone conclusion, and in the past few days and nights, the entire Jiangzhou has been laughing at Ao Yu for being ignorant and fearless, self-conscious, stupid, and fat pig in the examination room.

After a few days and nights of ridicule, it was almost enough.

Not only did millions of people in Jiangzhou know that Ao Yu slept in the examination room for three days, but even the entire Canglang Province knew about it.

He's once again synonymous with a shitty idiot.

There is only one focus of everyone's discussion today, whether Su Mang can win the first place Xie Yuan.

Of course, the vast majority of people have a positive attitude, and they all think that this person will definitely win the first place, and even many other talents have instinctively listed their highest goal as the second place.

At this time, Su Mang was all concerned, and countless candidates were surrounding him, desperately complimenting him.

"Brother Su Mang will definitely be able to win the first place Xie Yuan. ”

"Win the Yuan today, win the Yuan next year, the champion, then Brother Su Mang is the three yuan in the company, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is only one person in the three yuan, right?"

"It's a great honor to be able to take the same subject exam as Brother Su Mang. ”

"Isn't it? Originally, it was a great shame to have a scum exam like Ao Yu, but with Brother Su Mang, it was enough to cover the shame brought by Ao Yu, which was really a blessing for us. ”

In the face of these compliments, Su Mang was neither humble nor arrogant, cold and proud, but also polite.

He didn't hypocritically humble himself and said that he couldn't do it, because he felt that he had played extremely well this time, and Xie Yuan should be nine out of ten, especially the sentence of ten years of life and death, which exhausted his sadness in the past ten years, and should also be able to impress all the examiners.

As for Ao Yu, Su Mang had heard of it, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.

And right now.

The door of the Tribute Courtyard opened, and several officials of the Tribute Academy, fully armed, escorted a deputy examiner, holding high the red list.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of people poured over like a tide.

"It's open, it's open!"

The most exciting moment is coming.

The greatest moment is coming.

Su Mang seemed very quiet, and even entered a brief moment of meditation again.

He was excited, but he was also quiet, because he was determined to win, and he was full of certainty of victory.

A couple of officials were painting the walls.

Then, three big red lists were posted.

First the third, which is sixty-one to ninety-five.

Suddenly, the crowd had already begun to boil, and countless howls of ecstasy were heard.

"Ahh......h I'm in, I'm in. ”

"Dad, mother, ancestors and ancestors, I'm hit, I'm hit!"

"Lady, I'm in high school, I'm in high school, you can go back to your parents' house to show off. ”

"Sister-in-law, I've been hit, I've been hit!" the scholar thumped his chest and shouted.

Suddenly, everyone looked at him.

The scholar was stunned for a moment, then immediately covered his face and said, "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything." ”

Alas, there's a story in it, and it's a story with color.

Immediately after, someone in the crowd suddenly cried.

"Oh my God, oh my God, you will kill me with the next thunder, I have only won the sixty-third place, how should I explain to my ancestors and ancestors? How did I do so badly, father, mother, children are not filial!"

This cry instantly pulled away all the hatred, and everyone looked at it with murderous eyes.

I'll knock your mom.

You're still very chic, I hate people like you the most.

This is just like some high school students in later generations, when the final exam results came out, he began to mourn, and the scumbags hurriedly gloated and asked, how many points did you score? I only scored 35 points, what about you?

As a result, the top student said that I only scored 98 points in the exam, and I was deducted two points for carelessness, and my father would definitely beat me to death when I went home.

The scumbag immediately gritted his teeth, and said resentfully in his heart: If it weren't for the murder and crime, it wouldn't be your father's turn, and I would have beaten you now.

Next, the second list posted, from thirty-one to sixty.

The first list that was posted at the end, from the first to the thirtieth.

At this time, everyone gathered around Su Mang, complimenting them even more frantically.

"It's coming out, it's coming out, Brother Su Mang, you're about to come out. ”

Su Mang was meditating, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt noisy and glanced at the man.

You're just coming out.

"Brother Su Mang, you are definitely the first, definitely the first, otherwise let's gamble. ”

"Brother Su Mang, if you don't win the first place, I will run ten laps around the Gongyuan. ”

"By the way, did Ao Yu come to see the list?"

"Ao Yu is very stupid, but not so stupid that he can't come to see the list, isn't it enough to be ridiculed by you? He is already the biggest joke in the examination room, if he comes to see the list today, wouldn't it be an even bigger joke?"

Finally, the first list was posted.

Su Mang held back the excitement in his heart and looked directly at the first place.

Then, I didn't see my name.

The name of the first Xie Yuan looks very unfamiliar. Su Mang has fantasized countless times in his heart, the first name Xie Yuan is his Su Mang's name, and now he has changed to another name, and he feels so unfamiliar, as if it is not a Chinese character.

It took him a long time before he realized that the name was Ao Yu!

And his Su Mang's name, in the second place Ya Yuan.

There was a deathly silence.

Everyone thought they were dazzled or hallucinated, so they rubbed their eyes, then stared at them to the maximum, and looked at them again.

The first name is Xie Yuan, or Ao Yu!

Countless people present looked at each other, still feeling extremely unreal.

"Brother Lao, this, the name of the first Xie Yuan on this is...... Ao Yu?"

"Yes, yes!"

Then, the tens of thousands of people at the gate of the entire Gongyuan were completely shaken and completely boiled!

This world is crazy!

........................

Note: The second more is sent, today it is nearly 16,000, I am really about to be paralyzed, ladies and gentlemen, do you have a monthly pass for me?
