Chapter 60: Lost
What's even more chilling is that if you don't win a day, who knows how long this kind of struggle will last?
When will there be a bright future?
Year after year to catch the exam.
Again and again the despair after the hope.
This kind of mental journey is equivalent to the eighteenth layer of purgatory, and it can really torture people to the point of madness.
Because of these reasons, today's Luoyang Shilin is full of restlessness.
These days, the Gongsheng of those townships in Luoyang like to gather in the courtyard of the royal family.
The liquor sells very quickly, and the stronger the liquor, the faster it sells.
In the panic and anxiety of the villagers, the longest night finally passed.
When the sky reveals the white of the fish's belly, the day of the release of the list has finally arrived!
When he got up this morning, Li Xingzhou deliberately changed into a moon-white neo-Confucian dress that he had never worn before.
Fang just went out to merge into the mighty torrent of Xianggongsheng and went to the Gongyuan.
Zhou Chengtang system, tribute students are divided into two categories, one is the township tribute students.
All of them were selected by the three hundred and sixty states directly under the jurisdiction of the Wuzhou court.
In addition, there is also a class of Bingong students.
As the name suggests, these were those who came to participate in the imperial examinations by the 800 state of the state and the state of Fusang and Silla.
There is no doubt that the township tribute students are all Tang people.
But those Binggong students are all sorted.
Silla and Fuso are more common, and there are occasional ones in Guzi and Gaochang, and even those from far away from broken leaves.
Of course, there are absolutely those Hu people who are extremely famous in the entire Tang Dynasty and come from Persia.
Therefore, although the scientific expedition in the Tang Dynasty was to select talents for the Tang Dynasty.
However, in terms of its scale and the source of candidates, it is really a super-large examination covering East and Central Asia.
Because of this, at this moment, Li Xingzhou was not only black-haired and black-eyed Tang people in the torrent of tribute and life.
There are also those people with deep noses and high eyes, and even bearded people with blonde hair, who are mighty and varied.
The only thing that has the similarities is that it doesn't matter where these tributes come from.
What kind of skin color and hair color, at this moment today, he is wearing a Han shirt and Confucian clothes.
There is the Tang generation, and every time the new jinshi are released, it is a major event in the capital.
Especially after the release of the list, the banquet, the title, and the new jinshi crossed the streets.
Choosing to explore the flowers, visiting the famous gardens in Beijing, looking for famous flowers, etc., can be described as the joy of the whole city.
Seeing that the tributes gradually converged into a torrent on the streets of Beicheng.
The well-informed people of Luoyang also know that this is another time for the release of the list.
Don't talk about those idlers at the moment.
Even many serious people, as long as they have nothing important at hand, they have also left their homes.
Step out of the door to see the excitement.
Especially if you have children in school, you won't miss such a grand event.
How do you teach your children to work hard to learn?
This is the most vivid example.
The closer it is to the Gongyuan where the list is released.
The more spectacular the Gongsheng torrent gradually gathers on the long street.
And the more people on both sides of the long street heard the wind and joined in the fun.
When I arrived at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, it was simply a sea of people, and it was extremely lively.
Li Xingzhou didn't go out too early.
So he followed the torrent to the gate of the Gongyuan and didn't wait for a while.
After listening to the rumbling three drums, the tall and wide vermilion lacquer gate of the Gongyuan slowly opened.
The noise in the torrent of scholars suddenly subsided.
All the townsmen and gongsheng invariably straightened the Confucian shirts on their bodies, and their faces were solemn.
Maintaining a spontaneous formation, the fish entered the tribute courtyard through the vermilion lacquer gate.
Bypass the large wall inside the gate of the Gongyuan with a picture of Confucius's lectures.
The tributes were divided into two directions, left and right, and gathered on the huge courtyard behind the wall.
Behind the courtyard is the gate, and in front of it is a row of spacious halls.
In the middle of the hall is a wooden statue of the Holy Master Confucius.
The houses on both sides and even behind the hall are the official rooms of the Gongyuan.
The organization of examinations and the determination of examination papers are all completed in these offices.
As for the two sides of the huge courtyard, there are naturally rows of strictly symmetrical examination rooms, which are divided into many small rooms.
It is also called the examination shed, which is naturally a complaint that the examination room is too small.
All in all, the whole Gongyuan gives people the feeling that it is big, and that it is solemn and solemn.
The environment is like this, coupled with the psychological effect of the scholars.
The huge courtyard where thousands of tribute students gathered naturally fell silent.
This is in stark contrast to the bustle and bustle of the street when the right person comes to Changchang.
Li Xingzhou was also silent and did not say a word, but was stimulated by the surrounding environment and people.
His mood slowly became tense.
When the time came, the chief examiner came out and offered three sacrifices to Confucius, and all the tribute students saluted along with the distance.
Not to mention these ceremonies, in a series of tedious ones.
But really create a solemn atmosphere after the ceremony.
As the large billboards covered with bright yellow brocade were lifted.
The final results of this imperial examination are finally about to be revealed.
Although the Tang Dynasty did not prohibit the people from serving yellow, Minghuang could only be used exclusively by the royal family, and no one was allowed to trespass.
These bright yellow brocades covered with bulletin boards represent the majesty of the Son of Heaven.
All the tribute students looked at this, and their snorts were a little heavier.
When those few pieces of bright yellow brocade were finally removed.
Although there were many officials in the tribute courtyard to maintain order, there was still chaos in the courtyard.
At this time, there are not many scholars who can still maintain Xun Xun's elegant bearing.
Although it is not enough to resist kicking the legs, it is possible to squeeze forward all those who can squeeze forward.
Li Xingzhou was concerned about the result.
didn't consciously avoid the side like those scholars who could still be cautious at this time.
Instead, they followed the crowd and poured into the list.
In early spring and February, it is the time when the spring is cold.
Rao is like this, Li Xingzhou was already sweating profusely when he arrived at the front of the list.
But at this time, he didn't bother to take out a sweat towel to wipe it, and raised his eyes to look at the list of Jinshike.
Champion...... Not him
Leader...... Nor is he
Tanhua
Fourth place
Fifth place
……
……
The number of admission places in this imperial examination is quite large, although it is less than 30 people who are full.
But it's not like the most perverted one, only seventeen people were admitted.
This time, a total of 27 members of the Imperial Examination Jinshi Branch were selected from the Zhonggong Student.
In this list of twenty-seven people, which will soon spread throughout the world......
There is no name of Qinghe Li Xingzhou.
Not even a single surnamed Li!
Let the beads of sweat flow down his forehead.
Li Xingzhou carefully read the list twice, word by word.
From the top to the last place.
No!
Then I looked backwards from the last place to see the champion.
Still not!
After reading it for the first time, Li Xingzhou was a little flustered at first.
Then it was full of coldness.
He still knew his level.
There was no hope for the imperial examinations.
However, he was after the Cui family killed Cui Yulun.
He really has no way out in the Cui family.
……
………
………
When these disappointments are excessive, the instinctive chaos fades away.
When Li Xingzhou read the list for the second time, all his emotions burned into anger.
knew that the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was dark enough, and he also dealt with it.
But I didn't expect that Chen Ping'an to be cowardly at such a joint point!
The 500 gold flying ticket that passed through the door of the pothos before was actually fed to the dog!
You know, this is all the operating income of "three bowls poured"!
This is a fucking exam!
I knew that the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was dark enough, but he was blessed by God.
But I really couldn't imagine that these examiners could even disdain the imperial examination poems that had the pinnacle of the three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty.
They can do that!
How dare they do that!
Is this still a goddamn poetry?
I knew that the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was dark enough.
But I really didn't expect it to be so dark, and there was no light in the sky.
The pinnacle of the song was abandoned.
There's still no reason for that!
How to endure it after you can't bear it anymore?
Now it's completely dark.
Then fucking rip the day apart!
Anyway, Li Xingzhou is not a person from this era, and he really has no reverence for the imperial power of this era.
Li Xingzhou climbed onto the stone lion in front of the notice board.
Since the customization of the imperial examination, the Gongyuan has been the place with the heaviest grievances, and it is also the place most prone to epidemics.
After all, it was a very small area of thousands of people, and the sanitary conditions in ancient times were not good.
The scholars ate and drank Lazar in that small examination shed, which was naturally prone to epidemics.
It is good to suppress grievances, or to suppress evil and avoid plague.
Since the imperial examination, there will inevitably be large-scale stone carvings in the tribute courtyards of all dynasties.
The stone lion that Li Xingzhou climbed up to man belongs to this list.
Where is this?
The most sacred tribute courtyard in the hearts of the world's scholars!
What is that stone lion?
A divine beast that removes evil and avoids pestilence!
In such a sacred tribute courtyard, climb such a sacred beast.
Even stepped on the top of the head of the evil beast in that town, Li Xingzhou's move was really unprecedented!
He was there to step on the head of a stone lion, which ......
It's like stepping on the examiners' faces.
Condescendingly, thousands of people stood on the lion.
At this moment, Li Xingzhou naturally became the center of attention.
Even those tribute students who were easy to squeeze to the front of the list raised their heads and looked at Li Xingzhou in horror.
Faced with thousands of heads looking up at him.
Li Xingzhou took a deep breath and said loudly with the loudest voice he could.
"In Xia Li Xingzhou, Qinghe people."
After the previous two waves of wind that swept Luoyang.
Li Xingzhou's reputation is in full swing in Luoyang.
However, after he became famous, he was deeply hidden, and he was really a mysterious person.
At this moment, such a mysterious figure appeared in such a shocking and terrifying way.
His self-reported home immediately caused an uproar.
This uproar has not dissipated, just because Li Xingzhou's words have become louder.
The soldiers below were squeezing tightly to block the officials of the tribute courtyard who were rushing over.
Someone on the side asked questions.
"Li Xingzhou, have you been hit?"
Li Xingzhou looked at the officials who were desperately trying to squeeze over outside the crowd at his feet, and raised his hand to suppress it.
The crowd quickly quieted down.
"Thank you for your concern, I haven't been hit like everyone else."
At this point, Li Xingzhou paused, took another deep breath, and shouted angrily.
"Heaven is unfair, and the science field is cheating. Confucius is disgraced, Shilin is poisoned"
In the silence, Li Xingzhou's roar exploded like thunder in the nine heavens.
The hearts of the scholars who were shocked were shaken.
