The arrangement of the positions in the hall is strictly according to the rank of the banquet participants, in this case, Li Xingzhou, who is currently unofficial and has no rank, is the lowest status among the banquet participants today, and even those new jinshi who have just been awarded officials are higher than his seat.

Li Xingzhou came relatively early, and the surroundings were empty, and he sat alone on the last position on his left hand.

In this day and age, there were no stools on occasions like this, and everyone sat on the floor.

Because it is the late spring season, the hall has been replaced with beautifully woven bamboo mats, but even if this bamboo mat is beautiful, it is always hard.

Li Xingzhou, the traverser, can't stand any kneeling posture on such a hard ground no matter what, and he can't even stand it!

His knees were really painful, so he didn't sit down or open when he got to the seat, so he sat cross-legged so naturally, only to let the little official frown.

After sitting down, Li Xingzhou reached out and took the wine jar, poured a bottle of fine imperial wine, and took a sip while looking at the beautiful scenery outside through the thin curtain.

His casual and natural actions made the brow of the ceremonial official furrow even tighter. The hundred officials have not arrived, the Son of Heaven has not arrived, although the wine and fruit have been put on the table, but the people who come will always consciously not touch it, and they will always wait for the Holy Queen to come, and only after the official banquet can they start eating and drinking.

Like Li Xingzhou's behavior, it is really rude and rude to the extreme.

Even so, he did not violate anything in this way, even if the little official wanted to interfere, he could not get it, so he could only look at it more and more uncomfortable, and the more he looked, the more angry he became.

His anger was just dry, and Li Xingzhou didn't look at him at all.

In late spring, the weather is fine, and the golden light of the sun is reflected on the lake outside the water temple, sparkling like a golden snake dancing. The willows on the lakeside are still around, and the large peonies are in full bloom.

Because of the remoteness of the seat, there is a warm spring breeze from time to time. Drinking alcohol, enjoying the beautiful scenery, Li Xingzhou, who is enjoying himself, is really a good enjoyment.

Gradually, the magnates of the banquet came one after another, these people were dressed in magnificent official clothes, either purple or vermilion, and the most important was the crimson color of the fifth grade or above, dazzling between walking.

When greeting these powerful people, the little official of the Ministry of Rites, who was as frosty as his face, really made his face laugh badly, and that diligence was really to the point of numbness.

When the magnates want to reach their respective positions, they must pass in front of Li Xingzhou.

Li Xingzhou's seat was at the end, and he was the only white-bodied person wearing Confucian clothes in the hall, it was impossible not to be eye-catching, but let him be so eye-catching, those powerful people who walked in one after another turned a blind eye to him.

Not to mention greetings, there are few people who are looking at him.

Occasionally, when I look at it with the right eyes, there is also a deep hostility or disdain in my eyes.

In the imperial examination abolished by the Son of Heaven, many of the people who were selected were the children or relatives of these powerful families. Just because of Li Xingzhou's trouble, all the fame in his hands was yellow.

This time the scientific examination was reopened, but because Wu Zetian was not allowed to win the secret order within three years, all of them fell off the list.

Wu Zhou inherited Li Li's official system, and the officials tested their merits every two years, three years! This delays the development of people's careers!

That's it.

What's even more hateful is that Li Xingzhou immediately came up with such a new charter, at least from the examination system, he completely sealed the mouth of the previous intercession. If you don't do it, you don't intercede, you don't go to the relationship door, let the children of the powerful families who have been dressed and eaten since childhood, compete with the poor scholars who are holding back their strength to change their fate, and the result is ...... Needless to say?

Although there are excellent children of powerful families, on the whole, they can't pass the test of the poor children in the world.

Of course, the children of powerful families can also become officials through grace, but this kind of background does not have the glory of the new jinshi who are famous all over the world and shine on the lintel.

In addition, the starting point of the award is low; The speed of promotion is not as fast as that of the jinshi.

And since the time of Gaozong in the previous dynasty, there has slowly begun to be a trend - there are more and more officials above the third rank who are from the Jinshi department, especially if they want to enter the political affairs hall, whether they are from the Jinshi or even has become a very important criterion. Even if a person who is not a jinshi can enter, he will inevitably be ridiculed.

The background of the Jinshi is so important, but Li Xingzhou completely changed the regulations of the scientific examination.

None of these magnates have sons and grandchildren, but this one, Li Xingzhou really offended them all. It would be really strange for these people to see that Li Xingzhou still had a good face.

Zhu Zi is full of halls, but Li Xing is the only one who attacks Qingjin on Monday!

There are more and more Zhu Zi magnates, but no one pays attention to Li Xingzhou!

After Zhu Zi and the magnates sat down, the greetings and discussions became more and more lively, but no one spoke to Li Xingzhou!

The crown is covered with Jinghua, and the people are alone and haggard. This is the best portrayal of Li Xingzhou's situation at this moment!

The ceremonial officer in charge of this area couldn't help but snicker several times when he saw this scene. Even when he was busy, he peeked over from time to time, looked at Li Xingzhou with gloating eyes, and wanted to see Li Xingzhou's embarrassment and jokes.

But he was disappointed!

In his previous life, as a chicken anchor of the tongue war network, Li Xingzhou had never seen any scene.

At this moment, Li Xingzhou sincerely said that there was no pressure!

No matter how you comment, no matter how you look at me, I am myself!

As a time-traveler who has crossed over from an era that attaches great importance to and praises individuality, we have nothing but insight and a hard mentality!

Do you know what it means to show off your personality and inspire your youth?

Do you know what it means to be off the beaten path?

The magnates were as cold as a mountain, and Li Xingzhou remained unmoved.

Sipping wine, enjoying the scenery, leisurely, and happy!

His performance only made the little official of the Ministry of Rites who couldn't see the excitement more and more blocked.

It also made those Zhu Zi magnates who were secretly paying attention to him and talking about him extremely unhappy.

I want to see other people's excitement but I don't see it, that feeling is really depressing.

For a while, there was a faint craze in the Water Hall to denounce Li Xingzhou as a "crazy life"!

It is in the frenzy that this area is expanding more and more, and gradually turning from darkness to light.

The new scholars who passed the official examination were led into the water hall by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

More than 100 new recruits wore new blue official uniforms and entered in a neat queue. When they entered, they immediately became the focus of the hall, and the twenty-five Jinshi High School scholars who walked in the front were even more of the focus of the focus, especially He Zhizhang, the head of the Jinshi Branch, who was walking at the front of the entire queue, was almost roasted by these eyes.

Seeing these new jinshi, Mandian Zhu Zi also temporarily changed the topic.

Speaking of a hot topic in Luoyang Shilin recently.

With the release of the emperor's list ten days ago, the names of the new jinshi immediately spread in Luoyang City, especially the names and origins of the twenty-five people who won the list in the Jinshi Branch were even more popular, at least in Luoyang Shilin, everyone knew it.

Subsequently, the examination room poems of these winners and the poems of the previous lines began to spread around. Readers are always good at analyzing, and it's really good to collect all the poems of these winners!

Looking at it this way, the effect is not too obvious, and as someone compares the poems of the previous scholars, the huge difference suddenly becomes clear.

It's still the old saying, if you don't know the goods, you're afraid of comparing the goods. In this comparison, the reputation of this new jinshi is getting louder and louder.

From one person to one subject, gradually, there is a saying that spreads in Shilin and the market.

Since the imperial examination, the current branch has been the most elite.

Compared with the previous scientific expeditions, the emperor list released this time is really a dragon and tiger list.

The nickname of "Dragon and Tiger List" spread in one fell swoop.

Listening to the discussions of the surrounding magnates who obviously tasted wrong, Su Weiwei, who had not even glanced at Li Xing when he entered the hall before, stood up happily from his position.

He is the main examiner of this subject, and he is naturally the "seat teacher" of these new scholars.

According to the rules, he is the largest except for the Holy Empress on this occasion today, and even if the ministers of the political hall are in front of him, these new scholars will come to salute him first.

After the feast, he had to make a special trip to his house to worship the teacher.

Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher!

Except for the Son of Heaven, no one in this hall today is older than him, and at this banquet for Jinshi, in addition to the new Jinshi, it is also the most glorious moment for the main exam.

Seeing that he wanted to enjoy the glory in front of the eyes of the whole hall, Su Wei, who was the main examiner for the first time, stood up with joy, although he was reserved in his heart, he still couldn't stop the groaning smile on his face.

Just when Su Wei was ready to receive the salute, an accident appeared.

I saw that He Zhizhang, who was at the head of the new jinshi procession, did not come towards him at all, but stopped as soon as he entered the hall gate.

As the head of the Jinshi family, He Zhizhang is the natural leader of today's new Jinshi. The new recruits must follow him in every action. As soon as he stopped, the new jinshi behind him stopped.

He Zhizhang stopped his steps, and after straightening out the unmessed official clothes on his body, he turned around, and actually ...... actually walked towards Li Xingzhou, who had been ignored since he entered the hall.

As soon as he moved, the new jinshi behind him moved with him.

Seeing this scene, Su Wei almost went crazy, he is the justifiable examiner, even if Li Xingzhou is also in charge of the exam, but he is only helping to handle the exam after all.

If you want to distinguish it, he is the main examiner, and Li Xingzhou is just a deputy examiner at best.

There were also two examiners during the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, but when the new scholars saluted, they must first seek the main examination, without exception.

The so-called justification is not what it says!

Whether it is according to convention or according to name, he is the first person who deserves to be the first to receive the gift, the first person to enjoy this honor, but now......

Can you say that the new recruits don't understand?

The new Kejin who has just finished studying in the Ministry of Rites doesn't even know the title of dignity and humility?

Su was surprised, and those halls full of vermilion were even more surprised.

This...... What's going on?

Countless pairs of inquiring eyes turned to Su Wei, and Su Sheren really wished that there was a crack in the ground that could allow him to get into it at this moment, and his face turned red in an instant.

Seeing this, there is nothing the powerful do not understand.

Then he shifted his gaze to the only young man in the hall.

At this moment, He Zhizhang led the new Jinshi team behind him to bow down to Li Xingzhou!

One bow.

Two worships.

Three worships.

What a magnificent lineup of more than 100 new jinshi wearing new official uniforms! Because there are many people and they bow down at the same time, the neat and uniform movements seem to be very imposing.

Li Xingzhou just got up quietly and stood silently. Although he didn't say a word or make any other moves, he was dazzling by this majestic lineup and the momentum of bowing down to the sleeves.

The hall is full of Zhu Zi sitting and watching, Li Xingzhou is long and jade, and he is honored exclusively!

At this moment, all the previous snubbing seemed so ridiculous......

Heaven and earth have righteousness, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people!

He Zhizhang led the tributes to Li Xingzhou after completing the three bows of the master, and then got up and walked towards Su Wei.
