Liu Chengqi, whose face was like earth, returned to the Jinshi team under the white marble steps in despair.

"Look, Liu Chengqi's face is ugly!" Ding Zhaoxing immediately gloated.

Wang Sizong still didn't squeak.

One by one, the new science and technology scholars were called in, and there were also two or three people who were called at the same time.

When they returned, some were happy, some were upset, and their reactions were different.

Ding Zhaoxing sighed more and more, faintly feeling that it seemed to be selected in the order of the total scores, and the total results had not been announced, and after the Holy Son of Heaven had ordered the first grade, he would be ranked according to the total score, or even the Holy Son of Heaven, if he had a whim, maybe he would set more rankings or even all the rankings according to the perception of the temple examination, and the final ranking of the temple examination would have nothing to do with the results of the examination.

"Shaanxi Central Dao Fenzhou Xinke Jinshi Wang Sizong!" Finally, Hanlin Bannelang shouted, "Which one is Wang Heizong?" ”

"Brother Wang! Reluctantly! Although Ding Zhaoxing didn't have his turn, he still cheered for Wang Sizong.

Wang Sizong smiled at him and walked towards the golden glazed tile shining hall.

……

"Li Qing, what do you think of these talents?" In the hall, Lu Ning suddenly asked Li Jingyao, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials.

Li Jingyao was stunned, just after looking at the face of the Son of Heaven, but he couldn't see any clues, so it was difficult to answer.

Speaking of which, he has been following the Son of Heaven for a long time, and when he was still driving in Haizhou, he got acquainted with the Son of Heaven who was still the Duke of the East China Sea at that time, and even experienced the time when the Son of Heaven was young and frivolous, and gambled everywhere, until the Son of Heaven was called the king of Qi, and he even married his beloved daughter to Uncle You Guo.

But to this day, if you want to figure out the mind of the Son of Heaven, it is also a difficult errand, and it is impossible to figure it out at all.

"The minister feels that this dynasty is full of talents, and there are more than 100 new science students, but it is difficult to cover." Li Jingyao reluctantly came to a panacea, no matter whether the Son of Heaven is satisfied with the students or not, there is nothing wrong with this.

Zhao Pu glanced at Li Jingyao, many people felt that Li Jingyao had risen rapidly, listing six books, and it was not unrelated to the You family, but he followed the Son of Heaven all the way, and where would he not know, the Son of Heaven looked at people, and ordinary people were completely different, the identity of relatives was often a kind of resistance to promotion, and the Son of Heaven did not hesitate to give it to his relatives, such as Li Jingyao's daughter, who was named the county lord, but the minister of power and responsibility, the Son of Heaven naturally resisted the use of relatives.

The Son of Heaven also doesn't like to marry between important ministers, his eldest son Chengzong, although he is just thirteen years old, but he specially ordered a family affair, and chose a child daughter-in-law from a well-off family.

The Son of Heaven single-handedly picked up his wife and children from Songzhou.

When I think about it now, it's a great honor.

Li Jingyao is in the old acquaintance of the Holy Son of Heaven in the East China Sea, except for himself, he is the most powerful, and naturally he has his advantages.

But now, it is gradually smoothing, and it seems that I am afraid that it has reached the top.

Lu Ning glanced at Li Jingyao, just outside, another student came in, and Lu Ning didn't speak.

"Student Wang Sizong, meet the Holy Son of Heaven! Your Majesty, St. Ann! This student has thick eyebrows and big eyes, speaks with a Shanxi accent, kneels down and kowtows, and then gets up, which is completely different from other students, who knelt until the end of the audience.

Lu Ning didn't know how, but he understood what he meant, although he was exempt from kneeling at the new branch jinshi, but after all, it was the main hall to meet the Son of Heaven, how could he not kneel? Then he obeyed his own commandment and rose up to deal with it.

If it were me, I would do the same.

Lu Ning's heart moved slightly, but he looked at this Wang Heizong quietly, and said lightly: "The Ming Law is full of marks, and the other four subjects are a mess, it seems that your brain is not very bright, and you will only memorize by rote!" ”

"Yes, the students have been stupid!" Wang Sizong bowed, not daring to look up at the Son of Heaven.

"What is the third article of Qi Lu 68?" Lu Ning asked.

"Sixty-eight is the crime of fraud, and Article 3, the master of the treasure, the charm, and the section master, and those who do not realize that someone has stolen it, will reduce the crime of embezzlement by five degrees; print, minus two and so on. Wang Sizong blurted out without thinking.

Lu Ning asked a few more questions, and he answered them all fluently, and even when Lu Ning asked about the new chapter of the "Recruitment Law" that had just been promulgated, he answered it word for word.

"Okay, there is a suspicious case, how do you think it should be resolved?" Lu Ning groaned: "One night, the moon is dark and the stars are scarce, and an old woman walks on the road with a backpack. A man grabbed his baggage from behind and fled. The old woman shouted, and there were kind passers-by chasing her and catching the thief. Thieves frame passers-by. The old woman couldn't tell who the thief was because it was dark. ”

"If you are a magistrate, how can you decide?"

Several important ministers are stunned, this story, widely circulated among the people, is to praise a witty county order, in that story, the county order of the other two people to race, the slow is the thief, because the passerby is faster than the thief, once caught the thief.

It's impossible for this nerd not to know this story?

Wang Sizong thought for a while, "If the student comes to judge, then find out the place of origin, address, past behavior, and whereabouts of the two people, corroborate and compare with each other, catch the thief, there should be someone to know what he went to do that night, the thief, may not let people know his whereabouts that night, of course, this also depends on the past conduct of the two, otherwise if the thief is temporary, he will also wronged the wrong person!" In short, there are many ways to find out some clues. ”

Lu Ning smiled: "It's really stupid, why don't you let the two of you race?" The slow is the thief? ”

"I'm afraid that this method is inappropriate, as soon as I run, the thief has a money package, otherwise it may not be slower than the thief; Second, running, mood, etc., can all be affected, and when you are a thief, you are slow, and you may not want to get rid of sin. Thirdly, the law of this dynasty, before each article, there is His Majesty's holy decree, the law is measured, the law is measured, and the witnesses and evidence shall prevail, and it is really child's play to run to judge the case! ”

"When the Son of Heaven asked about this case, he also felt that this case was too child's play, and it could only be a folk joke!" As he spoke, Wang Sizong bowed deeply again.

Several important ministers looked at each other, and Zhao Puxin said, Okay, it's you, if the Holy Son of Heaven doesn't name you as the champion, I will follow the Holy Lord for many years.

"Okay, you go down!" Lu Ning smiled and leaned back to the dragon seat.

……

The sun has set in the west, and the majestic hall is covered with a layer of gold.

From morning to now, these new science and technology scholars have not drunk a sip of water, although it is spring, they are all dressed ceremoniously, and it is also uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun.

Some people can't help but complain secretly, Ding Zhaoxing, who was the last to be summoned, was a little depressed, but at this time he quietly approached Wang Sizong, "I think Grandpa Tianzi is very kind, but he won't deliberately let us suffer, these people, they can't bear this bit of hardship, I'm afraid they will be unlucky, I think that Ban Neilang, the small book is to remember them?" ”

Wang Sizong was stunned, Grandpa Tianzi? I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but in retrospect, I really didn't dare to look up and take a second look, as if I remembered that it was a very sacred image in the golden light.

However, it doesn't matter how old you are, the Holy Son of Heaven writes scriptures, and every sentence is subtle and righteous, and it feels logical to call Grandpa Sage and Grandpa Son of Heaven.

No one let them go, and these new science and technology scholars can only wait stupidly, and they don't know what to wait for.

About half an hour later, the sun was setting and it was getting dusk.

Suddenly, I saw several officials hurriedly walking out of the hall, led by a book of yellow silk.

"Is this going to be released?" The crowd exploded instantly.

Ding Zhaoxing screamed, "I'm afraid I'm the first to the bottom!" ”

Wang Sizong finally couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Holy Heavenly Son, what are you asking?" ”

Ding Zhaoxing said helplessly: "When Grandpa Tianzi saw me, he asked me to write a Pingbei policy theory, but fundamentally, I was too stupid to pay attention to me!" ”

Wang Sizong was also speechless.

The students who enter the higher education hall know that the Son of Heaven does not like any empty strategy the most, saying that it is the scholars who talk about the affairs of the world, and most of them talk about the empty things on paper.

And his classmates, but he has always been keen on the study of military books and battle formations, maybe he couldn't help but show off in some essay questions, and as a result, he was noticed by the Son of Heaven......

was about to persuade Ding Zhaoxing to say a few words, but over there, he saw the official unfolding the yellow silk and singing: "Listen to Xuan!" The first place in the first class, Wang Sizong of Fenzhou, Shaanxi Province...... "is simply neat, and it is not posted on the list, so I read it like this."

There was an immediate uproar, Ding Zhaoxing was dumbfounded, looking at his indifferent companion, speechless for a long time.

"Second place in the first class, Huaizhou Hanoi Lu Duoxun!"

A middle-aged uncle who was standing was immediately happy to dance, he had already been lifted, but he didn't get the subject, so he entered the office as a clerk, this time, but he didn't want to be on the list.

"The third place in the first class, Liu Chengqi of Chuzhou Shanyin!"

Liu Chengqi, who was originally depressed, trembled suddenly, looked up in disbelief, and in the joy of others, he was sure that he had heard correctly, and his face was immediately full of joy, looking up at the sky, tears couldn't help but flow out.

There are too many changes in the imperial examination of this dynasty, such as the ranking, which is divided into three first, a total of three first-class, champions, lists, and tanhuas, all of which may be used exceptionally; The second class, awarded the ninth grade official, can be appointed as the head of the class of some government officials; The Jinshi of the third class are all from the ninth grade, filled into the various government departments, or stayed in the Hanlin Academy for training.

When a personal name is pronounced, a few families are happy and a few are sad.

"The tenth place in the second class, Lingbao Ding in the river will follow!"

Ding Zhaoxing was struck by lightning and could hardly believe his ears.

Wang Sizong smiled: "Brother Ding, congratulations!" It turned out that the Son of Heaven ordered him to write a policy treatise, which was of great significance.

At this time, the Han Lin Zhi paused and said, "Ding Zhaoxing has awarded the Privy Council a confidential officer, and he will report to the Privy Council tomorrow!" ”

When a civilian official was transferred to a military position, he was directly announced.

Ding Zhaoxing was even more stunned, and then shouted: "My grandfather, the son of heaven, really, really know me!" "I'm happy, I'm going to pick up Wang Heizong and dance.

He has always liked military affairs, but he has no power to tie the chicken, and there is no drama at all to sign up for the military academy, after all, the military academy hall still has certain requirements for the physical strength of the students, and the military academy is a place for generals and meritorious soldiers to study, although they have also begun to recruit scholars as "confidential" and "senators" and the like, but the number of places is very small, and the requirements are extremely high, and his physical strength is difficult to pass at all.

"It's a pity, I'm afraid I won't see you in the future!" Ding Zhaoxing looked at his best friend and couldn't help but feel sad.

Civil officials and military positions, the two systems, basically, have little intersection.

Wang Sizong was silent.

Early the next morning, in the Bianjing Inn, Ding Zhaoxingzheng and Wang Sizong said goodbye, and another edict arrived.

Awarded Wang Sizong, the director of the Dali Temple, this is the official of the seven products.

As soon as Qin Cha left, Ding Zhaoxing shouted, "Mama, you are a carp jumping over the dragon gate, I have to upgrade four levels in a row to catch up with you!" "That is to say, but he is very happy, very happy for his old friend.

He is also telling the truth, he is a confidential man, but he is just a minor official of the ninth grade, and in the Privy Council, he is an errand runner.

The two of them then said goodbye in tears, very sad, but they were both looking forward to the new life that was coming.

……

Wang Sizong, after going to Dali Temple, immediately had an errand.

The Holy Lord has just issued an edict that Yang Zhao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is the chief official, and a "special department for the Lu Daping case" has been set up to thoroughly investigate the case of the sale of a person in the city with the nickname "Lu Laoda".

Yang Shaoqing asked Wang Sizong to enter the special office by name.

This temporary office, Yang Shaoqing has two deputies, one of them is Dali Temple Tui Cheng Cao Han, the other, Wang Sizong did not see when he went, I heard that it is the general courtyard of the upper embassy, but now, because the original Jiangnan embassy has been abandoned, and there is no new courtyard in Fanbang, this general court of literature should be idle, is to be awarded the patrol Lang, into this temporary office.

Wen Zongyuan and Cao Tuicheng are both officials of Zhengsipin, that is, Yang Shaoqing's assistants.

Yang Shaoqing, born like a woman, I heard that he has followed the Son of Heaven for a long time, and when the Son of Heaven was in the East China Sea, Yang Shaoqing was the assassin of Haizhou, and he had a good relationship with the Son of Heaven.

In addition to being a bit of a sissy, this Yang Shaoqing has an excellent personality and is also serious.

But I don't know why, the next day, Yang Shaoqing called himself sick, saying that this temporary secretary was temporarily represented by the General Institute of Culture, it seemed that he was frightened, maybe it was night terrors.
