The next morning, the Jinshi ranking was announced.

Everyone had been waiting here for a long time, and as soon as they saw the ranking, they immediately talked about it.

"How so?"

Hu Bulai was immediately blinded.

Didn't you say that you were okay with the first grade, Wei Delin, what are you going to do? My 10,000 taels of silver have been spent in vain?

I knew I was ranked twenty, so why did I spend so much money?

Some people are sad, some people are happy, and the happiest thing is naturally Gu Chunyu.

"I'm the champion, how is that possible? You guys help me see, is the top champion Gu Chunyu, right? ”

"Hahaha, Brother Gu, that's right, it's you, congratulations, protégé of the Son of Heaven."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect me to become a role model. Now I can finally return to my hometown. ”

This is naturally Ren Zheng.

Jia Rui and Ma Fushan found their names.

Ma Fushan is the forty-second, and Jia Rui is forty-nine.

The two of them didn't have high expectations, but now they accept this ranking calmly.

There was no more time for joy and sorrow, so people walked towards the Daming Palace in the Forbidden City.

There are two last important events today, and the emperor will attend.

The first is the Golden Palace, that is, the roll call ceremony.

New students are required to participate, and if they do not participate, they will be disqualified.

After the Golden Palace was passed on, it was the Jinshi banquet given by the emperor himself, and the emperor entertained everyone for a meal.

After that, he either waited for the news of the official of the Ministry of Officials, or Zhang Luo Pavilion Selection, and prepared to enter the Hanlin Academy to further his studies.

In Jia Rui's view, if Jinshi is a doctor, this Jishi is equivalent to a postdoctor, and the Hanlin Institute is a postdoctoral workstation.

The roll call ceremony was held in the Baohe Palace, and the palace guards and eunuchs commanded the new branch scholars to line up according to the ranking, and the examiners and the six cabinet scholars, the six Shangshu, the imperial history of the left and right of the Imperial Inspectorate, and the Dali Temple Qing appeared. Shortly thereafter, the emperor arrived.

It was called by Zhao Yansong, the second assistant of the cabinet.

Roll call, in fact, is similar to roll call. After the name is called, the person being called takes two steps forward to let everyone know each other.

Nowadays, officials pay attention to judging people by their appearance, and good looks are a plus, and it is easy to leave a good impression on people.

This is probably related to the superstition of the ancients, believing that each other is born from the heart, or in order to show the official etiquette of the official master in front of the people.

The official is too ugly, which seems to damage the dignity of the court.

If there is plastic surgery now, Jia Rui believes that the main customers of plastic surgery now are definitely officials at all levels, and not mainly women plastic surgery like in his previous life.

After the roll call, the routine is the emperor's lecture.

It's generally a cliché, which is nothing more than encouragement, loyalty and love for the people, sympathy for the people, etc., but just a formality, and then a banquet.

The emperor sometimes eats a few bites, drinks a glass of wine to show it, and sometimes leaves directly, leaving the jinshi here to eat slowly, so as not to be restrained.

But today, the emperor didn't speak, and the great eunuch Xia Shouzhong spoke first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you've heard some rumors. Today, all the scholars have to go to the northwest to take up their posts. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wei Delin and Zhao Yansong and others were surprised.

What is the emperor doing here? Talking about this suddenly, it's not in line with the rules.

"Now our family will ask you, do you have anyone who is unwilling to go to the northwest?"

"If there is, come out and say it, as long as there is a valid reason, you can not go."

What does that mean? Do you really have to go to the northwest?

Even Jia Rui was a little confused.

Of course, he naturally won't stand up and say no.

Although Xia Shouzhong is speaking, but the emperor is present, that is to speak for the emperor,

If I stand up at this time, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.

There was silence on the field, no one spoke, not even the ministers.

They don't know what the emperor is going to do, if it is a trap, they will be caught in the net at this time.

"Let's say it again, is there anyone who doesn't want to go? Whoever speaks, he who speaks is not guilty. ”

"Students can't go."

A voice rang out, and everyone looked over.

It was Hu Bulai who spoke.

He thought that he would definitely be ranked first, but he was ranked twenty, and now he had to leave the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River and go to the northwest to die, which made him unable to swallow this breath no matter what.

As soon as Wei Delin saw that Hu Bulai stood up, he knew that something was wrong.

I don't know the height of the sky, do you think it's in your house, you can do whatever you want with no one in your eyes?

This is the Golden Palace, the emperor is here, idiot.

"Don't come, step down!"

Weidlin scolded.

Hu Bulai was impulsive just now, so he stood up, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he panicked and realized that he was too reckless. So he hurriedly retreated.

But it was too late, and Xia Shouzhong was eyeing him.

"What's your name and what's your rank?"

"Students don't come here, ranking twenty."

"You say you don't want to go to the northwest, why is that?"

Naturally, you can't say what you really think, so you have to lie if you don't come.

"Student Ding worried."

As soon as he heard Ding Wei, Wei Delin despaired.

"Hehe, since Ding is worried, why can you participate in the scientific examination?"

Hu Bulai was blindfolded all of a sudden, and he realized that he had made a big mistake by lying casually.

Ding Wei is to keep filial piety for his parents.

Ding Wei can indeed not be an official for the time being, but he is not allowed to participate in the scientific examination.

If he is indeed in the period of Ding worry, then the examiner of the township examination, the magistrate of the state and county, and even his guarantor have the responsibility of covering up the negligence, and when it is traced, a group of people will be unlucky.

Even examiners who can take the exam can be implicated.

If it weren't for the period of Ding Worry, it would be a lie, and he would be able to settle down for the crime of bullying the king.

Hu Bulai finally realized the seriousness of the problem and knelt down with an ordinary sound.

The emperor was gracious, and the students lost their words for a while. The students did not worry about anything, but they were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they were afraid of going to the northwest. ”

The emperor was expressionless and whispered a few words to Xia Shouzhong.

Xia Shouzhong coughed and continued to speak.

"Get rid of Hu Bulai's fame, hand it over to the Criminal Department for investigation, and the imperial guards, take Hu Bulai."

The two guards came up, and without saying anything, they dragged Hu Bulai down.

The previous roll call ceremonies were basically joyful and relaxed. But at this time, the ceremony suddenly became serious.

The field was silent, without a single sound.

No one can guess what the emperor wants to do next.

"Who else wouldn't want to go to the Northwest?"

Xia Shouzhong asked again.

With the example of Hu Bulai, naturally no one stood up to die at this time.

"Okay, let's ask in a different way. Who wants to go to the Northwest? ”

Who wants to go? Only fools are willing to go.

Just when everyone was still hesitating, Ma Fushan stood up.

"Students are willing to go."

This kid is very fast.

Jarry also stepped forward.

"Students are willing to go, too."

Someone started, and the rest of the people reacted and stepped forward.

"The students are willing."

"When it comes to employing people, I don't go to anyone."

"The critical moment is the time to repay the emperor's kindness."

Everyone said that it was beautiful, but when they looked at Jia Rui and Ma Fushan, they were full of hatred.

Why are you looking at me like that? Even if I don't take the lead, do you dare to say that you don't want to?

Besides, if Ma Fushan is the first to stand up, you should hate him.

Everyone is a jinshi, an elite of great virtue, not a street gangster, you have a little quality, a little demeanor, right?
