March 28 of the third year of Song Yuanfu is the day of the trial release of Gengchen Science and Technology Province.

This Gengchenke provincial examination is different from the past, that is, because of the death of Emperor Zhao Xu, Zhao Ji was grief-stricken and could not hold the palace examination, so the palace examination was canceled, and the champion, Bangyan, Tanhua, and the top three were directly determined.

Therefore, the release of the list on March 28 was particularly eye-catching, and the people of Zhulu and Tokyo gathered in front of the South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites and Tribute Courtyard early, waiting for the release of the list.

You must know that this time the "catch" is not an ordinary jinshi, but it is possible to catch the champion, the leader, and the flower, such a maddening thing, how can it not make everyone ready to risk their lives and do a big job?

Therefore, at this time, the official house, the rich family, the wealthy family, especially the rich family, in the city of Tokyo, the whole family went out, and the men who could move in the family flocked to it, rolled up their sleeves, and their eyes were as wide as copper bells, ready to risk their lives, fight to the death, and grab a champion to go home.

If you can really grab a champion and go home, then the whole family will faint with laughter, and it will be the door shining with brilliant brilliance, and it will be a blessing for thousands of generations.

How can something so exciting not make people's blood surge?

At the end of March, the cold winter has long gone, spring has already come, and on the 28th, the sky is also extremely beautiful.

Yesterday a spring rain took away a trace of the remnants of winter, and today the sun is hanging in the sky early, and the sky is clear. The entire Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo is as if it has just been cleaned, it is very refreshing, the air is very fresh, and you can feel sweet when you take a breath.

On this sunny and refreshing day, in addition to the people who "caught their sons-in-law under the list" and the people who watched the excitement in Kaifeng Mansion, more than 3,000 people from Zhulu also gathered in the south courtyard of the Song Rite Ministry, waiting for the release of the list.

At this time, the South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites and Rites was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and it was very lively, much more lively than any big gathering, temple fair, etc. in Kaifeng Mansion.

From ancient times to the present, the "Gold List Title" is the dream of every student, "No one asks about the cold window for ten years, and once you become famous, the world knows!" For them, the announcement of the results of the provincial examination is an important moment in life, whether to decide whether a student is a dragon or a worm, to decide whether a student is poor or prosperous, and to determine the fate of a life.

Li Sanjian is no exception, since Li Sanjian came to this world, he has been studying hard for more than seven years, plus three years of Yuan Fu, Li Sanjian has been studying hard for eight years, and in eight years, he has turned a weak teenager into a young man like a jade tree in the wind.

The ups and downs of the period are only known to Li Sanjian himself, and others have no way to understand them.

On this day, Li Sanjian, accompanied by Shan Kui and Xu Biao, came to the south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites early, waiting for the release of the list and the results of the provincial examination.

Li Sanjian's mother, Fu Erniang, also strongly asked to come, but was stopped by Li Sanjian in every way.

On the day of the release, there will be a sea of people, in case Fu Erniang is squeezed out of anything, Li Sanjian will be unable to atone for his sins...

Li Sanjian's mood at this time said that it was false if he was not nervous, and it was on those few pieces of yellow paper that decided his fate, how could Li Sanjian not be so nervous that his heart was about to jump out? was so nervous that his palms were sweating, but Li Sanjian pretended to be calm.

"Ouch, haha, Lee... Brother Han Ren, I can find you, there are many people who make the ball, and I am tired to death. Just when Li Sanjian was worried, Liu Anjie, the son of Chengdu Mansion, squeezed over from nowhere, sweating profusely, and laughed.

With such a crowd of people, it is really difficult for him to find himself, Li Sanjian is secretly funny.

"Yuan Cheng, where have you been these days?" After the two tried to introspect themselves, they never saw each other again, so Li Sanjian asked.

Li Sanjian has a lot of good feelings for this small man, monkey spirit monkey spirit Liu Anjie.

"Where else can I go? In addition to playing in the mountains and rivers, it is nested in the quilt, and the weather in Beijing is too cold. Liu Anjie replied with a smile: "That old man... I went to blow the stage, and I saw a pair of immortals, which was really beautiful and miserable, but the two immortals hugged each other, which was immoral. ”

"You... You... Li Sanjian was suddenly "shocked" when he heard this, and he stammered, unable to say a word.

"What the hell am I? Why are you looking? It's too far away, I didn't see it clearly, but from a distance, it looks like the moon is beautiful. Liu Anjie grinned.

"Oh, really?" Li Sanjian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, if his ugly behavior was seen by Liu Anjie, he would be embarrassed...

"Hey, Han Ren, do you think the two of us will be on the list?" Liu Anjie then asked with a sad face.

"How do I know? It's all by providence. Li Sanjian replied with his hands spread.

"By Providence? That's not your style, is that? Don't you often say that my life is up to me, not to heaven? Liu Anjie said with a smile.

"Oh, I said it, but now it's like this, and I really don't know the bottom in my brother's heart." Li Sanjian replied.

Zhao Xu returned to the sky, Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, Li Sanjian was still somewhat sure in his heart, not to mention the champion, the list eye, the flower or something, he should be able to be on the list, but as the months passed, Li Sanjian's heart became more and more bottomless.

The imperial court tribute is not to say that you have a close relationship with whom, you can be high school, the tribute involves the fate of thousands of scholars, involving thousands of households, so the imperial examination is basically based on the real material in the belly, and the court selection must also be fair and just, even the emperor does not dare to do what he wants, otherwise it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the scholars and even the people in the world, and it will cause turmoil in the world, so the emperor must also be cautious. Glamorous e-books

In addition to the smooth literature and science, the articles and writing skills are profound, etc., the rest is whether the views you expound can touch the hearts of the examiners, if you can't even pass the examiner's level, the emperor will not dare to directly add your name to the list of famous jinshi.

It is true that Li Sanjian was a former guest of Duanwangfu, and it is not false that he has a close relationship with Zhao Ji, but all Zhao Ji can give Li Sanjian is grace or direct award, and the award is basically a military attaché, and it is insignificant, it is an official with no real power, and it is never a imperial examination, and it is never a fame, unless you have taken the exam countless times and are old.

Therefore, will Li Sanjian definitely be on the list?

"Yuan Cheng, what are you going to do in the future?" Li Sanjian didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he asked.

"What else can you do?" Liu Anjie replied with a sad face when he heard this: "If you don't pass the exam, you will go home to farm and go to the fields, and if you pass the exam, you will take the old man over and play in Beijing for two days." ”

"The old man is the father." Liu Anjie saw that Li Sanjian was full of suspicion, so he explained.

Liu Anjie, like Li Sanjian, is also a poor scholar, his mother died early in the Sichuan Shu family, and his father was both a father and a mother who pulled Liu Anjie's three brothers up, and the family was poor at this time, and all hopes were pinned on Liu Anjie's body.

"The champion is here, the champion is here." While the two were chatting, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and one of them walked over surrounded by many scholars.

Champion? Li Sanjian and Liu Anjie secretly wondered in their hearts when they heard this, it was not yet the time to release the list, where did the champion come from?

It turned out to be him? After Li Sanjian saw the person who came clearly, he secretly said in his heart.

The person who came was indeed the champion, but it was He Changyan, the champion of the Ding Chouke in the fourth year of Shaosheng.

He Changyan was surrounded by all the scholars like flowers, and walked over to Li Sanjian.

All the scholars also crowded to He Changyan's side, taking a dip in the joy of the champion, in order to get a good omen.

"Li Hanren, don't come to harm?" He Changyan walked up to Li Sanjian and asked with a smile.

He Changyan was already a Song official at this time, so his words were ordinary at this time, but he was shy with a bigger and bigger belly, dressed in an eight-grade official uniform, with his hands on the rhino horn leather belt, and looked at Li Sanjian condescendingly and said.

In the fourth year of Shaosheng, Ding Chouke champion He Changyan awarded the official Cheng Shilang, signed the book Wu Ning Jun Festival to judge the official business, the three-year term expired, after the grinding, at this time he returned to the Beijing Division, waiting for the transfer of other officials, this time He Changyan is very likely to stay in the Beijing Division as a Beijing official, or even a court official, and his heart is very unhappy.

When He Changyan was waiting in Beijing, when he was idle and bored, he came to the Tribute Academy of the Ministry of Rites to take a look at the grand occasion of the Gengchen Imperial Examination at this time. Reminisce about the glory of those years.

He Changyan didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, so he saw Li Sanjian, so he came over and said hello to Li Sanjian.

"It turned out to be my brother, Xiaosheng... Seeing this, Li Sanjian had no choice but to give up his hand, but before he finished speaking, one of He Changyan's servants interrupted Li Sanjian's words.

"This is the undertaker, who is the judge, which is your brother? A student who doesn't even know honorifics? This servant said coldly.

"Well, it doesn't have to be that way." He Changyan stopped the servant with a smile and said: "Li Hanren was a Lingnan genius back then, although he was ranked down that year, but this tribute will definitely be the title of the gold list, and he should not be underestimated." ”

Although He Changyan's words were so, the meaning of ridicule in and out of his words was full of ten, and the surrounding scholars immediately moved away from Li Sanjian when they heard this, so as not to be stained with Li Sanjian's bad luck.

The crowd around them, who were staring closely at Li Sanjian and Liu Anjie, and were about to "catch their sons-in-law under the list" were also disappointed when they heard the words, and left the two one after another.

Although they fell last time, they may not continue to fall this time, but generally speaking, if they failed the exam last time, the odds of failing this exam are relatively small, so these people's attention is focused on other moves.

"Talented people don't dare to be." Li Sanjian was not angry when he heard this, and said calmly: "Lingnan son Li Sanjian has seen the green starling brother. ”

He Changyan was suddenly embarrassed when he heard this...

"Hahahaha!"

The surrounding crowd immediately laughed when they heard this, and Liu Anjie bent down with laughter.

After the restructuring of Yuanfeng, Song Zhi's official uniform was divided into three colors, with purple clothes above the fourth grade, crimson clothes above the sixth grade, and green official robes above the ninth grade.

For officials below the eighth grade, who have not been able to change the color of their official robes for a long time, and have always worn green official robes, the people of Tokyo have given them a joking title, which is "Green Starling Xianggong"...

"Poof!" A woman's laughter came from not far away, the laughter was very soft, and in the noisy crowd, it was not easy to hear without listening.

"Haha" A nine-year-old boy next to the woman took the woman's hand and asked with a smile, "Sister, is he his brother-in-law?"
