This third place, Zhu Youxiao originally wanted to choose a person he was familiar with, but soon Zhu Youxiao found a more interesting person, this person's name is Wen Zhenmeng.

According to the original history, Wen Zhenmeng should be the champion this time.

When Zhu Youxiao saw his name, he couldn't help but think of some things about this person, he was only admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 46, took the examination 10 times, and only passed the last time.

The most important thing is that after the last test, he directly won the top prize, which can also be regarded as a legend.

At the same time, this person is Wen Zhengming's great-grandson, as for Wen Zhengming, he also failed to pass the exam many times, and Wen Zhenmeng seems to have repeated the imperial examination process of his great-grandfather. It's just that he later passed the exam and won the top prize.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao thought that the top rankings this time must be from the academy.

The reason is also very simple, these people study there every day, and their understanding of Xunzi's thoughts is naturally the most thorough, plus there are people who teach them every day, and the things they usually study for exams are what they usually study.

Naturally, they were able to get a very good ranking.

In addition, these people can get the most care, and the most important point is that many people still don't agree with Xunzi's thoughts, and now they are pushing this matter.

Therefore, many people will not use much effort in the imperial examination, or not much effort in Xunzi's thoughts.

Most of the people are more likely to learn from Confucius and Mencius, and in such a situation, they are naturally not good at taking the test of Xunzi. Zhu Youxiao had thought of this a long time ago, so the odds of them being in the exam were not high, and the odds of ranking high were even lower.

This time, the imperial examination will definitely have little overlap with history.

It's just that what Zhu Youxiao didn't expect was that he actually saw Wen Zhenmeng's name here, this former champion, it stands to reason that he shouldn't take such a high ranking.

The moment he saw this name, Zhu Youxiao had an idea.

Perhaps it is indeed a good idea and practice to point out those people in the academy, but it seems that ordering someone who is not in the academy can show fairness and set an example for more people.

So Han Li drew a circle on Wen Zhenmeng's name, and the third place was him.

As for the first place in the second class, Zhu Youxiao gave Zhang Yu. The person's name must appear in the first few places, but at the same time it must be pressed. For this Zhang Yu, you have to use it yourself, but you should also use it with caution.

The first name of the second class, which is commonly known as Chuanyu, is a more suitable ranking for him.

After these people are circled, the rest of the things are not going to be involved in the school. Handing the list to Chen Hong, who was standing aside, Zhu Youxiao said, "Okay, take it down." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and took the list with both hands.

"Did Jinyiwei arrest a lot of people there?" Zhu Youxiao raised his head to look at him, and asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are indeed a lot of people who want to make trouble these days, and Jinyiwei has indeed arrested a lot of people." Chen Hong hurriedly said: "A few days ago, Xu Xianchun was still asking how to deal with these people. ”

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and didn't speak.

In fact, these people are still very tricky, it is definitely impossible to kill them, and at the same time, it is impossible to let them go like this. So Zhu Youxiao said, "Let's lock them up for a while." ”

"In addition, you tell Feng Congwu that the academy will recruit students immediately, and this time recruit more."

"While these movers are still in the capital, we can also recruit more talented people." After saying this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can step down." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." After Chen Hong agreed, he bowed and walked out.

In fact, letting the college start recruiting students is largely a diversion of contradictions. This point was also planned by Zhu Youxiao a long time ago, and it was time to implement it.

These people who are now gathered in the capital are the biggest destabilizing factor in the capital.

These people are all people who read the books of the sages and have their own morality in their hearts, and once the results of this imperial examination are announced, it is difficult to say whether they will make a fuss.

Once some people are inciting in those people, it is very likely that these people will make some trouble.

At that time, I can't really kill them, once I kill them, I don't know how many people will be enthusiastic, and at that time, things will be too troublesome.

simply let the college start recruiting students and give them a way out.

At that time, there is a way to go, and naturally you won't want to make too much trouble. Zhu Youxiao had already thought of this, otherwise now that it was blocked, they would be in trouble if they made a fuss.

Readers are prone to enthusiasm, which is true throughout the ages.

At the same time, they are also the most receptive to new things, so do a good job of guiding. These people are all talents in the future of the Ming Dynasty, different from the corrupt officials in the court, so they must be guided well.

After arranging this matter, Zhu Youxiao stood up and moved his muscles and bones.

Then he turned around and walked towards Queen Zhang, now Queen Zhang is pregnant, but the big baby in the palace, he still has to accompany her well, so that her mood is a little happier.

Zhu Youxiao's side was just a matter of one sentence, and the people below began to get busy.

First, the college announced the enrollment plan, and at the same time opened the registration, and then it was the day of the release of the list, this time there were not as many people as the last time, but there were still many people waiting.

At the same time, because of the ranking, everyone's mood is more nervous.

Especially for those who are in the exam, after all, everyone knows that this ranking determines the future development, which is very, very important.

It's still Desheng Building, it's still that private room, and a few people are still gathered in it.

Unlike last time, this time everyone was looking forward to it, but they were not so apprehensive. Because if you don't pass the last exam, you will have to wait another three years.

But this time it's different, and this time you don't have to worry about falling off the list.

Everyone is waiting for a ranking, but everyone knows that this ranking is very important, but the atmosphere is much better, and a few people are talking and laughing.

At this time, there was a sudden buzz outside.

Obviously, the list has been announced, so there was a lot of noise on the street again, and some people even set off firecrackers, obviously they have already seen the list and are sure to pass the exam.

Desheng's downstairs suddenly became lively, and countless people began to make noise.

At this time, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and Song Yingxing suddenly walked in from the outside, and said with excitement on his face: "It's amazing, it's amazing." ”

Several people turned their heads to see him, their eyes very eager.

Song Yingxing looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said directly: "Brother Lu, congratulations, you are the top student in high school, the first in the first class." After saying this, he turned to look at his brother, laughed and said, "Brother, the second place in the first class, the list eye." ”

After hearing this, the room instantly boiled.

No one expected that the house would actually win the top two of the first and third places, which can be said to be a very high ranking, and it is also a very remarkable achievement.

After hearing this, whether it was Lu Xiangsheng or Song Yingsheng, neither of them came to their senses

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't believe it, how could he get the top prize? That's the champion! You must know that among the few people present, he is much better at reading than him, and it is not his turn to take the top prize.

Song Yingsheng also came back to his senses at this time, he looked at his younger brother and asked, "What about the others?" ”

After listening to his eldest brother's words, Song Yingsheng hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang Yu Zhang, the first name of the second class." ”

After hearing this ranking, the eyes of several people fell on Zhang Yu, and the atmosphere in the room was a little weird.

If anyone learns well, it is Zhang Yu.

But during the exam, it was Song Yingsheng who got the Huiyuan, and this time Song Yingsheng took the exam, Lu Xiangsheng won the champion, and Zhang Yu took a pass on instead.

Zhang Yu saw a few people looking at him, and said with a smile: "What are you looking at me for?" Think I'll be unwilling? ”

"You guys are too underestimate me Zhang Yuzhang retreated, the palace test itself is a strategy to determine life and death. It is difficult to determine whether the play is good or not. ”

"What's more, I took the first place in the second class, it's not very bad, right?"

When several people heard this, they all burst out laughing. Wu Xiang on the side stood up and said, "If your words get out, there will definitely be many people chasing you and beating you." ”

"Okay, okay, a few of us have such good results this time, we should also celebrate it."

Zhang Yu smiled and said: "Let people prepare wine and food immediately, that is, we will not return home if we are not drunk." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Song Yingsheng also said with a smile.

At the same time, Wu Xiang also turned his head to look at Song Yingxing, and then asked, "You have seen all of them, what about ours?" By the way, your own, do you see? ”

"I looked, the eleventh of the second class. As for Brother Wu, you are the seventeenth in the second grade, and Brother Liu Xian and Liu are the thirty-sixth in the second grade. ”

"Sure enough, I'm the worst." Liu Xian smiled and said, "In the future, I will rely on you to support me a lot." ”

Several people glanced at Liu Xian at the same time, and Lu Xiangsheng said: "If we can study together, this is already a kind of fate, and being able to be on the top list of Jinshi is even more of a fate." ”

"In the same year as classmates, in the future, they will naturally support each other in the officialdom."

When a few people were talking and laughing, it was already lively outside, and the people who reported the good news also rushed over, and the sound of congratulations and congratulations rang out, and these people were all here to ask for money.

A few families are happy and a few are sad, those with high rankings are naturally happy, and those with low rankings are naturally stunned.

In a hotel not far away, Wen Zhenmeng had already sent away the congratulatory people, and then returned to the room and sat down, beside him was an excited scholar.

At this time, Wen Zhenmeng still couldn't believe that he actually passed the Tanhua exam.

At the age of 46, I took the exam 10 times, and I really got in, and I got the second place. Thinking of his hard-working exams over the years, Wen Zhenmeng's heart was full of mixed feelings.

The days that followed, of course, were celebrations.

Praise the official parade on the street, the grace banquet, it can be said that the new science and technology is the most happy time. Some people scolded the injustice, some people were celebrating, and for a while, the capital staged a variety of life situations.

Some people left gloomily, some people were ready to go to the academy exam, some people cursed angrily, and so on.

In the palace, Zhu Youxiao's face did not have too many expressions, and the fact that things could pass safely and steadily made him feel comforted in his heart, and nothing happened was better than anything.

Now Zhu Youxiao understands the meaning of that sentence, stability is more important than everything.

Lying on the rocking chair, Zhu Youxiao swayed his body, the expression on his face was a little hesitant, but at the same time it was more indifferent. I was in a good mood because I was leaving Beijing.

Chen Hong came to Zhu Youxiao's side and said softly, "Your Majesty, they have arrived. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then said, "Then let them in." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." After Chen Hong agreed, he turned around and walked outside, and after a short time, he walked in from outside with a few people.

led by Lu Xiangsheng, followed by Wen Zhenmeng, and behind them were Song Yingsheng and Zhang Yu.

The top 4 in the imperial examination, Zhu Youxiao recruited them today, first, to meet them, and to arrange errands for them. Originally, Zhu Youxiao didn't have to do this matter, but he had something to tell them, so he met in person.

After the four people came in, they quickly knelt on the ground and saluted.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, and then said, "Okay, let's get up." ”

The four people quickly stood up, and then two people were stunned, Lu Xiangsheng and Song Yingsheng, and the two of them were really a little unable to come back to their senses for a while.

They knew the young man in front of them, and they had met him more than once.

Although they have changed their clothes now and the occasion is different, they still recognize it at a glance. My heart was pounding, and I was a little stammering.

"Why don't you know me?" Zhu Youxiao looked at them and said with a smile.

The first person to know Zhu Youxiao's identity was naturally Zhang Yu. It's just that although he knew Zhu Youxiao's identity, he didn't dare to tell a few other people.

"The ministers don't know Your Majesty's identity, please forgive Your Majesty." Song Yingsheng hurriedly spoke.

"Alright, alright, don't talk about that." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, and then said: "I brought you here today, first, to meet, and the second grandmother also has something to tell you." ”

"This time in the imperial imperial examination, a few of you are among the best and have done very well."

"If it were according to the previous rules, several of you should enter the Hanlin Academy, but this year is different, and I want to make separate arrangements for you, so I want to ask you if you are willing."

In fact, this is said in vain, Your Majesty has said it, can you say that you are unwilling?

"The imperial court has newly established a staff office, and it is necessary to select a few talented new science and technology officers, and the selected people do not need to enter the Hanlin Academy, and they can walk directly for the staff office."

"I also know a little bit about the few of you. Lu Xiangsheng, Wen Zhenmeng, are you willing to join the staff office? ”

These two people were carefully considered by Zhu Youxiao, and as for the rest of Song Yingsheng and Zhang Yu, let's go to Hanlin Garden.
