The enjoyment on this royal street is not lost in any way to the enjoyment of the royal palace road.

They fluttered as if their bodies were no longer their own.

Although everyone knows that this is a once-in-one treatment, and as for whether there will be another time, only the emperor knows, but it doesn't matter, at least they have already enjoyed it.

Some people can paralyze themselves in various ways, saying that this is not enviable at all, but the truth is that it is very enviable, and the envy is about to go crazy.

Ma Yan's brothers, Cao Zhi's friends, Jiang Wan's classmates, and Xu Miao, Zhang Xiong, and Liu Shan's classmates in the martial arts hall.

They were all going crazy with envy.

This scene brought them envy and an emotion of going crazy, as well as a deep sense of loss and regret.

Because it will not be with them for the rest of their lives.

And what is left for those candidates who have not yet taken the imperial examination is a deep and endless yearning.

They immediately made up their minds to show their strength and ambitions in next year's imperial examination, and then get the status of the top three and become famous all over the world in one fell swoop!

You have to, you have to get all this, otherwise, it will be a lifetime of regret!

The whole city of Luoyang was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and people cheered and jumped for today's grand event and the soldiers.

There is something in people's hearts, and certain seeds are being nourished in people's hearts, and in the near future they will break through the ground and grow strongly.

The ceremony lasted from morning to afternoon.

And this side is over, and there is the preparation and opening of the [Imperial Examination City] that will be held all night tonight.

The emperor's permission, in order to celebrate the dynasty to get the world's talents, deliberately stopped the curfew on this day, so that people can open a night market, set up stalls in the night market to sell goods, and people who want to go out to join in the fun can also enjoy the rare glorious night view of Luoyang City.

To this end, Guo Peng ordered the main streets of Luoyang to be opened, allowing small traders and vendors to set up stalls all night, and allowing the people in Luoyang City to party all night.

Then, the small traders and vendors made a lot of money, and the consumers got an indescribable spiritual enjoyment.

At dinnertime, the emperor personally set up a banquet in the palace, entertaining 1,200 scholars to eat, drink, and have fun, and enjoy eating and drinking at public expense for the first time.

After eating and drinking at public expense, let them move freely, go to the night market to have fun or go home to sleep, whatever.

The positions of Ma Tan and the other three and Xu Miao were the six closest positions to the emperor.

This is a banquet that only invites the scholars and does not invite the court officials, in order to show the emperor's attention and favor to the scholars, which is a special treatment that no official can enjoy.

The emperor showed an unprecedented focus on the imperial examinations and young people.

At the end of the day, the Emperor is the final decider of their ranking.

The Emperor has the power to announce changes to the rankings at any time before the announcement, so procedurally speaking, the Emperor is the one who decides whether they can be admitted or not.

And at this time, there was no county test and township test, there were not so many teachers, and the emperor was the only one who decided.

So rounding it off, they are also considered protégés of the Son of Heaven.

Isn't eating and drinking with their nominal mentor the most enjoyable thing in life?

Although they were a little restrained in front of the emperor, they did not dare to eat and drink profligately.

But being able to eat with the emperor, and feeling the emperor's grace and kindness up close, and being remembered by the emperor at close range, Jane is in the emperor's heart, isn't this the supreme enjoyment of life?

Before the banquet ended, Ma Yan, Cao Zhi and Jiang Wan had already received gold, silver, jewelry, books, antiques, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and so on from the emperor.

Xu Miao, Zhang Xiong, and Liu Shan also received gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as treasures, armor, treasures, and bows.

They were overjoyed, holding the things given by the emperor, and they were indescribably moved, feeling that even if they died at this moment, it would not be a big deal, because life had reached the peak.

Especially the envy and jealousy of those who did not receive these rewards and failed to achieve the top three-

It's a supreme treat.

There's nothing more enjoyable than having it for yourself and not having it for others.

"Okay, it's over, the night market should have begun, I won't leave you alone, go, go and enjoy tonight, enjoy this day that belongs to you.

This is your last day as a student, and your first day as an official, and from tomorrow onwards, you will be treated more harshly than ordinary officials! ”

It's not a bad thing to be able to make the emperor differentiate, it's a great thing.

If you do well and can comply with the emperor's expectations, you will be able to get high-ranking officials, which is a matter of course.

The six of them knelt in front of Guo Peng with blushing faces, saying that they would die for the emperor's liver and brain, and even Cao Zhi was infected in such an atmosphere, and shouted together that they would never give up......

So Guo Peng felt that he was doing a good job.

The ultimate in buying people's hearts is nothing more than this.

Have fun, have fun, and enjoy.

Then, plunge headlong into the palm of my hand, and never try to break free!

The Emperor's feast was over, and the grand ceremony was over, and the gentlemen dispersed and rushed towards the unprecedentedly lively night market, to celebrate, to enjoy, and to indulge.

Tomorrow, they don't have to go to court, they can rest for three days, and only on the fourth day do they need to officially go to the official office to report, start their official career, and then enter the sea of eunuchs and begin to rise and fall.

It's their joy, everything that belongs to them.

Guo Peng returned to his dormitory with physical and mental exhaustion, and lay on the bed to receive Cao Lan's professional massage service.

"No one has asked you to stare there all day long, lifting this group of warriors to the sky, right? Aren't you tired of asking for it? ”

Guo Peng sighed.

"Of course, I have to look for myself, I am the emperor, I am the main promoter, I don't care about it myself, who in the world will take the imperial examination seriously? What I want is for the imperial examination to quickly enter the hearts of the people of the world, so that everyone in the world knows that the best way to prosper is the imperial examination. ”

"Then you don't have to do that much, do you?"

Cao Lan sighed slightly: "You are not young anymore, you should pay attention to rest." ”

"It's because I'm not young anymore that I have to work harder."

Guo Peng said: "The imperial examination is not a behemoth, it is not unshakable, the current imperial examination is like a seedling that has just broken through the ground, it needs to be cared for, it needs to be carefully cared for, and I need to use full energy to protect it until it becomes a behemoth." ”

"Do you need to be in such a hurry?"

Cao Lan shook her head.

Guo Peng nodded seriously.

"Of course I do, Alain, I don't know how long I can be the emperor, but the imperial examination, which I have dreamed of for decades, and now that it has finally been successfully handled, how can I not arrange the imperial examination as the number one priority?

It has been three or four hundred years since the inspection was held, and it came to an abrupt end, and I replaced it with the imperial examination, can I not do my best to shout and preach, so that everyone knows about our family's imperial examination? The more attention and attention I get, the more it will attract talents from all over the world.

In this way, at least before I die, the imperial examination can completely replace the inspection examination and become the only material selection system of the unshakable dynasty, irreplaceable and unshakable, and at that time, I can swallow my last breath with peace of mind. ”

Cao Lan felt that her emotions were complicated.

"Penglang, you said, you became an emperor, but you never seemed to be happy, and you have to count everything until you die, is this really good?"
