Inside the Gongin.

In order to reduce the occurrence of fraud, all examination papers are obscured before the official list.

Before the list, there was a release of the imperial history to disassemble the name, according to the order, one by one, and finally checked by the two examiners before the official list.

At this time, the admission list of the Lingzhou State Examination has been taken out and posted by several officials.

In the Gongyuan, Ling Yihong, who had just learned Xie Yuan's name, was a little stunned.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized where that familiarity with handwriting came from when he first reviewed the exam paper.

He also finally understood why an ordinary candidate would have such a profound insight into the medical Tao.

Because this person is his uncle.

He actually became his uncle's examiner?

The expression on his face that was more wonderful than Ling Yihong was Zhong Mingli.

When he thought that Downing's state test journey this time could only stop at the first game, he casually won the first place in the double list.

When he thought that his strategy was wrong and should not be on the list, he won Xie Yuan again.

Of course, the reason why he was upset was not only that.

Mizube Langzhong and Libu Langzhong argued fiercely in the court because of his exam papers, and almost got into a fight.

The three important co-examiners expressed great affirmation of his strategy.

After deliberation, many examiners decided to send this examination paper to the capital, which is very likely to open the prelude to the reform of the imperial examination policy......

His mood is a little complicated, and his father-in-law is naturally happy to have a virtuous son-in-law, but if he is a virtuous son-in-law, he will also be in trouble.

He couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard the earth-shattering cries against Tang Ning outside the Tribute Academy.

In addition to worrying, he was also a little annoyed, if it wasn't for the lack of eyes in the Ministry of Rites, how could he attract Zhang Hao of the Ministry of Water to argue with him in court?

The culprit of all this is Wang Shuo!

Wang Shuo was also in the crowd, and subconsciously hit a spirit.

It's just that Zhang Hao doesn't look at him well, why does Lord Ling from the Tai Hospital look at him like an enemy, even if they have different political views, they won't be like this, right?

Taking a step back, these two co-examiners have a reason for having different political views, why did the local official in Lingzhou look at him like that?

Fang Hong walked over from a distance, walked to Zhong Mingli's side, looked at the other person beside him, and introduced: "This is Lord Zhong that I mentioned to you, I have been busy reviewing the papers these days, and I only have the opportunity to introduce him today." ”

Jingdong Road Torture Song Qian looked at Zhong Mingli, arched his hand with a smile, and said, "Lord Zhong, I have admired my name for a long time." ”

Fang Hong looked at Zhong Mingli and said with a smile: "Lord Zhong, this is Lord Song Qiansong. ”

The name of Jingdong Road's sentence can be described as thunderous, Zhong Mingli was suddenly solemn and quiet, and bowed down, "I've seen Lord Song." ”

"Lord Zhong doesn't have to be polite." Song Qian waved his hand and said, "First of all, congratulations to Lord Zhong, it's really enviable to get this good son-in-law......

Zhong Mingli smiled on his face and arched his hand: "I also want to thank a few adults for their appreciation, and the junior son-in-law of the lower official has thanked a few adults here." ”

"It is our duty to select talents for the imperial court." Song Qian smiled and said: "Ling Xian's strategy coincides with some of the official's thoughts over the years, and there are some details that the official still wants to talk to him, and when the time comes, he will also ask Lord Zhong to introduce him on his behalf." ”

Before Zhong Mingli could speak, Fang Hong shook his head and said, "Tang Jieyuan is afraid that he will not be idle in the past two days, if you have anything to say, wait until the Luming banquet to ask." ”

After the state examinations, local officials hold a deer banquet three days later to entertain the new imperial examiners and the examiners of the Gongyuan, a tradition that has been going on for hundreds of years.

Zhang Hao of the Ministry of Water stood aside, and when he heard the words, he was dissatisfied: "Everything must be said to come first and come first, and this official is the first to see this Xie Yuangong......"

"Then let Master Zhang go first." Fang Hong smiled, looked at Ling Yihong again, and said, "Doesn't Lord Ling also have something to ask Tang Jieyuan, Lord Zhang and Lord Song are in front, on the night of the Luming banquet, Lord Ling is afraid that there will be no chance." ”

Zhong Mingli naturally wanted Tang Ning to make more friends with some Beijing officials, so he smiled when he heard the words, and said: "After the Luming banquet, I don't know when Lord Ling will have time, and the lower official asked the little son-in-law to visit in person, I don't know what Lord Ling wants?" ”

Ling Yihong's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare to ......"

His heart was beating wildly at the moment, if he let the master know that he asked his uncle to come to visit, he would not be expelled from the master's door?

Zhong Mingli shook his head and said, "Lord Ling, don't be polite......"

Ling Yihong shook his head faster: "No, I really don't need to ......"

Dong Cunyi, the assassin of Lingzhou, stood not far away, looking at Zhong Mingli, who was laughing and chatting with all the Beijing officials, his face was extremely ugly......

……

Two carriages drove all the way back to the city from outside the city and stopped in front of the Zhongfu Gate.

Tang Ning jumped out of the carriage, and Tang Xiaoxiao followed him down.

Tang Ning looked at her with a worried look on her face, and said helplessly: "Don't worry, I didn't kill anyone." ”

Tang Yaoyao put his mind at ease and said, "I knew that you didn't have that ability." ”

Zhong Yi and Su Ru got down from the carriage behind, thinking of the deafening cry outside the Gongyuan just now, Su Ru's face was full of worry, and he said anxiously: "Brother Xiao Ning, what happened, why are they all calling your name?" ”

Zhong Yi seemed to realize something, and looked at Tang Ning with some distraction, with puzzlement, surprise, and disbelief in his eyes.

Chen Yuxian took Fang Xiaopang's hand and walked out of the mansion, saw them, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked, "How is it, have you been hit?" ”

Tang Xiaoyao shook his head.

Chen Yuxian was stunned, then a smile appeared on his face, looked at Tang Ning, and comforted: "It's okay, I didn't win this time, and next time, don't forget, your father-in-law took the exam three times before he got in." ”

Tang Xiaoyao shook his head again and said, "It's not that I didn't win, but I didn't see it." ”

"Didn't see it?" Chen Yuxian paused for a moment and said in surprise: "Then what are you doing here?" ”

A rapid sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, in the state city, it is not an emergency, it is not allowed to ride horses, but today is an exception, at the same time as the Gongyuan posting the list, it will send someone to send the list of the children in the examination to the county government as soon as possible, and then the county government officials will collectively dispatch to the place where the candidates are located to report the good news.

A horse stopped in front of the county yamen, and Peng Chen got off the horse with a rolled-up piece of red paper.

He opened the red paper and looked at it, walked up to Tang Ning, and said flatly: "Congratulations, Tang Jieyuan." ”

"Xie Yuan?" Tang Yaoyao stood in place and thought about it, looked at Zhong Yi, and asked, "Xiaoyi, you said last time, what is the first yuan in the state test?" ”

Zhong Yi looked at Tang Ning, his expression was a little happy, and he was a little resentful, and said, "Xie Yuan." ”

Tang Yao was stunned for a moment before asking, "Then isn't he the first?" ”

Her eyes looked at Tang Ning, he told them that he didn't do well in the strategy, and they were disappointed and worried for many days, and in the end, they actually took the exam to solve the yuan?

Su Ru looked at Tang Ning in a daze, tears were rinsing and falling, but the corners of her mouth couldn't hide a smile.

……

Good people have good rewards, it's not that they don't report it, the time has not come.

Tang Ning was still mourning for the candidate who unfortunately had Peng Chen's turn to report the good news just now, and now it was his turn to take retribution.

The normal routine should not be that the yacha beat gongs and drums, shouting loudly, "Congratulations to Tang Gongzi for the first place in the state examination of high school, Xie Yuan!" Then under the envy and admiration of everyone, he casually rewarded him with dozens of taels of silver, and everyone was happy......

But his expression of bitterness and hatred, as if he owed him a few hundred taels of silver, like congratulations?

The procedure for announcing the good news has shrunk, and the reward will naturally shrink as well.

Tang Ning turned his head and looked left and right, and when he saw Fang Xiaopang, his eyes lit up.

He took the last remaining piece of jerky from Fang Xiaopang's hand, put it in Peng Chen's hand, and said, "Tongxi, Tongxi......"

"That's mine." Fang Xiaopang raised his head, looked at him aggrievedly, and whispered, "You have to pay me an elbow......
