Chapter 202: Zhang Bang
On the first day of April in the 22nd year of Shaoxing in the Great Song Dynasty, the much-anticipated Spring Exam will be announced. This is naturally a major event that affects people's hearts, not only the children who participated in the examination and their families are concerned, but also the people of the court and even the people of the Great Song Dynasty are also concerned about this matter.
From the early hours of the morning, all the people who participated in the big exam began to gather in the Gongyuan Square where the list was released. For them, this is the most important day of their lives. The lifters freshened up, took out the most decent clothes and accessories, put them on, groomed their hair buns and beards, and set off for Gongyuan Square in a clean and decent manner.
When the sun rose, the entire Gongyuan Square was already crowded and crowded. The imperial court took restrictive measures, and in order to ensure order on the Gongyuan Square, checkpoints were set up at several entrances. Only the person who participated in the big examination could enter the Gongyuan Square, and no one was allowed to enter the entourage, so as not to cause overcrowding. But even so, more than 18,000 people gathered on the Gongyuan Square, which still seemed crowded.
Fang Zi'an got up early in the morning, and after washing, Chunni carefully put on an ironed cyan robe for Fang Zi'an, and hung a jade pendant around her waist, dressed handsome and elegant. Not long after, Zhao Changlin and Qian Kang also came to Fang's house neatly dressed. The three of them agreed to go to the list together.
The three of them didn't get into the car when they went out, but they found that two more carriages came to Fang's house, one east and one west. Indeed, Qin Xiqing and Shi Ningyue rushed to accompany them to see the list. The sudden meeting made Qin Xiqing and Shi Ningyue a little embarrassed, but soon this embarrassment disappeared. Chunni, Qin Xiqing and Shi Ningyue actually knew each other's existence, and they both knew the relationship between each other and Fang Zi'an, and they were also very familiar with each other, so they quickly became warm. However, Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin secretly admired and admired this situation: I don't know what kind of means Fang Zi'an used, but these three beauties met each other very politely, which was really eye-opening.
A group of four carriages headed to Gongyuan Square. When they arrived at the south entrance, the three women couldn't get in, so Fang Zi'an asked them to go home and wait for news, but none of them would leave.
"This is Zi'an's big event, we naturally have to accompany and wait here, this is a big thing." Qin Xiqing said.
"Yes, you go and see the list, we are here waiting for good news." Chunni said.
"Whatever the outcome, we need to be the first to know. Laugh with you when you win, and comfort you together if you don't. Shi Ningyue said.
The three women expressed their hearts, and Fang Zi'an had to let them go. He himself was very worried at the moment. Although he usually said that he was generous, and seemed to be full of confidence and indifferent attitude towards the imperial examination, but at this time, Fang Zi'an was full of expectations. In fact, he wants to succeed in his heart. And in these years, the biggest success, the most respected success, is the imperial examination high school. He also knew that in fact, the people around him who cared about him had huge expectations for him, and this was actually an important reason why he felt uneasy, and Fang Zi'an didn't want to disappoint them.
Strangely, more than 18,000 people were in the square, and it was not too noisy. A tense atmosphere hung over the entire Gongyuan Square. And as time passed, the atmosphere became very oppressive, making people feel a little suffocated. Everyone, even those who don't care anymore, understand that today is the fateful moment, and nothing is more important than this moment in life. Therefore, everyone felt great pressure, looking forward to it and nervous in their hearts, so that they were not in the mood to speak, and waited for the time to be released.
At three o'clock, the gong sounded. All the people in the square stood up and looked in the direction of the gate of the Gongyuan. However, seeing a large number of officers and soldiers rushing out of the gate, they quickly emptied the area within thirty paces in front of the Gongyuan and formed several warning circles. The lifters knew that the time for the release of the list had come, and they rushed towards the gate of the Gongyuan, and it was suddenly noisy and chaotic.
Fang Zi'an and Qian Kang escorted Zhao Changlin and squeezed through with the crowd, standing in front of the huge sign on the right side of the gate. Soon after, the three examiners of the Spring Exam walked out of the gate of the Gongyuan Courtyard surrounded by a large number of officials and soldiers. One of the officials with a goatee went up to the stone platform in front of the tribute courtyard and spoke loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, entrusted by the emperor and the imperial court, today this official and the other two examiners are here to announce the admission list of the undergraduate spring examination. The basic situation of this university examination is announced here for future investigation. First, the three examiners of the Spring Exam are the Privy Council's Tongzhi Tang Sihuitang, the Doctor of Guozijian Shi Haoshi, and the Governor of the Political Affairs Hall of the Official, whose surname is Wan Qian, and his name is Wan Qiao. The three of us were entrusted by the imperial court and trusted by the emperor to serve as the chief examiners of this big examination. Second, in this spring, a total of 18,327 people from all walks of life are referred to, all over the 16th Road and 36 Mansions of the Great Song Dynasty. It is the largest event in the history of our Great Song Imperial Examination. As of yesterday, all 329 students have been admitted to the Jinshi Division, and the quota of all 329 Jinshi has been full. ”x
Everyone was silent, swallowing nervously. Although I knew that the number of places admitted was limited, there were many monks and few porridges. But when they heard Wan Qiyu say that only more than 300 of the 18,000 people were admitted, everyone still felt devastated. With the exception of a very small number of people, the vast majority of people have no confidence that they will be able to make it to the gold list.
Wan Qiyu continued to say loudly: "Everyone, no one asks about the cold window for ten years, and the world knows that you have become famous in one fell swoop. Of course, there are only a few people who can go to high school, and I hope that all students will treat the results with the mentality of winning and losing. If you are not on the list, there is no need to regret, no need to blame, no need to be disappointed. For reading the sages is wise and enlightened, and it is always useful to read it in your stomachs. Besides, although he has passed the bachelor's degree, there is still the next subject, and it is unknown how famous he will be. The door of the imperial examination is always open to you. Those who are on the list should not be complacent. You are just the beginning of your career, the burden of the court needs you to pick, and the Zhongxing of my Great Song Dynasty needs you to work hard. Don't live up to the emperor's grace, don't live up to the expectations of the people, maintain humility, serve the court well, and be loyal to the emperor. Finally, the Ministry of Rites will accept inquiries from the date of the announcement of the admission list of the Jinshi List. If you feel that you have doubts about the results, you can go to the Ministry of Rites to file and check the file in accordance with the procedures. ”
All the students looked at Wan Qiaoxiao blankly, and they all knew in their hearts that the words behind this were just polite. What a victory, happy defeat, bullshit! Who would have such a mentality to read, just for the sake of reason, what to do after reading, the purpose of reading is to enter the imperial examination, and to honor the ancestors. It's for the Qianzhong Su Yan Ruyu Golden House, is it just to cultivate sentiment, Ming Zhi is not reasonable, and it is even more ridiculous to check the papers, I have never heard of anyone who has been re-listed through the check.
"Two adults, let's get started." Wan Qiwei retreated to Shi Hao and Tang Si.
Shi Hao and Tang Siwei nodded, held the list at the moment, and went to the three billboards to post it. Because there is still a palace exam in the follow-up, in fact, there is no order in this list, only the name and place of origin of the child. After the huge list was posted on three bulletin boards, all the lifters scrambled to find their names on the list. After a brief silence, someone let out a cry of surprise. x
"Hit! Hahaha. I'm in! Thank goodness, thank goodness! "Someone was the first to find their name and was pleasantly surprised. The hearts of the people next to them were like a thump, and they were both envious and anxious at the same time.
"I'm in, I'm in. Woooooooooooo Daddy, mom, I lived up to your expectations, I finally got it. Someone found his name and burst into tears.
Laughter and cries of surprise followed, and people kept finding their names and making loud noises after checking their origins. The three bulletin boards were messed up in front of them, and they became the scene of a large-scale neurotic outbreak. Many more people couldn't find their names, their necks were stretched out like giraffes, their faces were oozing with sweat, and their eyes were about to fall off. There is nothing more real in the world than this.
"Brother Zi'an, where is your name?" Fang Zi'an, who was squinting to find his name, heard Qian Kang's surprise cry in his ear. Fang Zi'an hurriedly followed his finger, and sure enough, he saw his name.
"Fang Zi'an, a native of Sanyuanfang, Lin'an, is twenty-two years old. His parents are dead, he has no siblings, and he is not married. "In order to prevent people with duplicate names, the information on the list is quite detailed and will never be confused. When Fang Zi'an saw this, a wave of ecstasy surged in his heart, and a big stone fell to the ground. Hit! Finally living up to expectations!
"Changlin, you've also been hit. Hahaha. That's great. Qian Kang found Zhao Changlin's name again.
Zhao Changlin hurriedly squeezed over and checked carefully, then let out a long breath, tears flowed out.
"Congratulations. Brother Changlin, sure enough, he was hit. Fang Zi'an said with a smile.
Zhao Changlin wiped his tears and arched his hand: "Thank you, Brother Zi'an." Brother Zi'an High School, I'm not surprised at all, because you are bound to win. I was able to win, it was a real surprise. ”
Qian Kang smiled beside him: "Congratulations to Brother Zi'an and Changlin." ”
Fang Zi'an hurriedly said: "Brother Qian, didn't you find the name?"
Qian Kang smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I can't find it, I know my own business." ”
Hearing this, Fang Zi'an and Zhao Changlin hurriedly went to the three bulletin boards to search carefully, but they didn't see Qian Kang's name listed after all. Qian Kang's name fell to Sun Shan, which made Fang Zi'an and Zhao Changlin's mood low.
"Two, it doesn't have to be like this, I've been prepared for this. I'm afraid I'm going to lose my life. If we can get two out of three, that's already a great joy. Let's go, I don't have to celebrate it today, if you don't get drunk, you won't go back. Qian Kang laughed loudly. div
