After noon on March 17, there were more guests in the teahouses and wine shops in the capital, all of whom were waiting for the results of the palace test list, and they were anxious, even if they did not hope that they would be the top in the first class, they also hoped that they would be included in the second class.

Although there is only one word difference between "Jinshi origin" and "Tongjinshi background", there is a world of difference between the future career of the official.

At noon, the tributes who were waiting for the news exchanged ears and talked about it, saying that it was the news that had just come out of the palace, and the emperor decided that he would not select the Shujishi from among the Jiwei Jinshi, that is, after the palace examination, the review and inspection of the Hanlin Academy would be canceled, and the candidates would lose the way to enter the Hanlin Academy.

The news quickly exploded among the scholars.

“…… If we don't choose the Gilles, how can we get into the Hanlin Academy? If you don't do Hanlin, the court is going to cut off our scholars' way to become the minister! ”

This tribute seems to be serious, but in fact, how many people can really be ranked as ministers?

"That's not necessarily, it only says that you don't choose Shu Jishi, and you don't say that you won't enter Hanlin if you get to the top of the list." Someone reminded, "It's only Tang Yin and Xu Jing who are to blame, if they hadn't gotten the question in advance, so that Your Majesty would have doubted whether this branch jinshi was involved in the case at the same time, there would never have been such a thing!" ”

"Yes, I want to go to the court to cure the crimes of Tang and Xu and kill their heads!"

A bunch of people were clamoring, originally gathered together to wait for the news of the list, and congratulated each other, but they didn't expect the good news to come, so they waited for the bad news first.

and then to the previous case involving Tang Yin and Xu Jing, the spearhead was directly aimed at the two unlucky people who were being tortured in the Fusi prison in Beizhen at this time.

Although the scholars were even more annoyed with Cheng Minzheng, now the emperor still did not put Cheng Minzheng in prison, and Cheng Minzheng did not even resign as an official, and wanted to attack the officials in charge of the imperial court, but they did not have the courage to do so.

In the corner of the second floor of the tea house, there is a table of inconspicuous guests, and the person sitting on the edge of the window is Su Tong, the exam-taking son of Fujian Tingzhou Mansion.

Su Tong did not win the tribute and was not eligible to participate in the palace examination. But he still went to the place where the gongshi gathered to find out the news, but what he was most concerned about was what Shen Xi's final results were. There was still one person at the same table with him, but it was Li Yu, the son of a businessman in the capital who almost beat him up two days ago.

It's only been a month since the two got together. Got acquainted with the Qinglou when looking for flowers and asking willows. Because Su Tong is a good learner, he can export chapters, and he can also chant poems in a similar way, which makes Li Yue quite admired, and things gather like each other. Soon they came together.

Li Yu didn't have much respect for Su Tong, at most he was a friend of wine and meat, but when he learned that Su Tong was a person from Fujian who went to Beijing to take the exam, Li Yu immediately changed his face, and he was very flattering and courteous to Su Tong in the past two days, and even invited Su Tong and "Zhao Painter" to Li's house by apologizing for the incident the day before yesterday.

It is a very decent thing to let the lifter enter the door in the eyes of the merchant's house.

"Brother Su didn't say that he failed to make the list this time, why is he still stranded in the capital. Never been home? Li Yu asked with some doubts while serving tea to Su Tong.

Su Tong glanced at Li Yu, then turned his gaze to look at the group of tributes who were talking on the other side. These few people who are about to become jinshi already belong to the category of walking sideways on the ground in the capital, and even the court officials are not as high-profile as this group of people. Once they were rich and noble, they didn't show off and let others know that they had outstanding status, wasn't this palace exam in vain?

At first, it was just a noise, but in the end, it was louder than anyone.

"A friend participated in the palace exam, and I made an appointment with him to wait for him to be nominated for the gold list before I left." Su Tong smiled. With a little smugness on his face, "Maybe I'll come back to the exam in three years, and he will already be the same examiner......"

Li Yu's eyes lit up, after all, he hadn't even passed the county test. I don't quite understand some of the rules of officialdom. Originally, he was wondering why this group of tributes was so popular, but there was such a reason in it.

In these years, Jinshi is incomparably expensive, as long as you win the Jinshi, there will basically be a laissez-faire official vacancy, but the official is big and small, and it is a question of real shortage or nominal name. These are still a group of angry young men in front of them. After a few days, when I see them again, I will have to call them "adults".

Li Yu hurriedly asked, "I wonder if Brother Su can introduce this person to me?" I really want to visit this new science and technology scholar and give him a small gift......"

Su Tong thought to himself, didn't I introduce them to you?

It's a pity that you don't know that he is the Huiyuan of this session, the famous Shen Xi. He shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it when we have a chance." ”

Li Yu heard that Su Tong's words were a little perfunctory, and sighed in his heart, but he was thinking: "It's better to take the imperial examination, and if you win the examination, you will have a meritorious reputation." After that, even if you don't pass the exam, as long as someone you know around you passes the exam, there will be an official backer...... I must find a way to let Brother Su introduce him on my behalf. ”

Li Yu called for good refreshments to entertain, but this little favor obviously couldn't impress Su Tong, how to say that Su Tong is also a rich child, and he is not the kind of down-and-out, even if Su Tong has been traveling for a long time, he is a little short of money now, but the money for eating and drinking is indispensable, at most, there is not so much spare money to go out.

Li Yue wanted to understand this, and said with a smile: "Since Painter Zhao is busy, Brother Su should be fine, why don't we go to Xiaoyue Tower now and have two glasses of water and wine?" ”

"Oh? That's good. ”

Su Tong finally had a smile on his face, "But let's wait for the palace test list first, but I said that my friend is likely to be among the top ones." ”

Li Yue is a scholar and knows what kind of concept Yijia is.

There are only three people in the first class of the palace examination, champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua, and those tributes just now also said that even if the imperial court does not select Shu Jishi, the three people of this class are still awarded the Hanlin officials.

Li Yu heard Su Tong say how powerful this friend was, although he didn't believe it in his heart, he was still quite looking forward to it.

According to the rules of the palace examination in previous years, the list will be released early in the morning on the third day after the palace examination, and it will only be delayed until the afternoon at the latest.

The court will not be delayed for no reason, the tributes are worried, but they also know that they can be in the top three no matter how bad they are, but if they wait like this, they are all a little impatient, and they bring their entourage, and let the entourage go out to inquire about the situation.

Seeing that the time is coming to an end, the palace test is finally released.

Unlike the order in which the ranking is correct, the ranking is reversed. Start with the top three, then the second class, and finally the first class.

Because there are two hundred and two people in the top three, in fact, most of the tributes who have passed the Ministry of Rites will be examined. will be included in the top three, the person who announces the good news comes, although it is within the expectation of the tribute, but there is no sorrow or joy, at most it is to settle down his heart...... Finally, the article of the temple exam was not banned. As long as it is not brushed down, even if it is a jinshi, you will still return to your hometown in fine clothes and shine on the lintel.

Those who received the good news of the top three were also given jinshi uniforms.

The jinshi turban is like a black gauze hat, the top is flat, the angle is more than an inch wide, five inches long, tied with a hanging belt, soap yarn for it. Dark blue robe. The edge is Qingluo, and the sleeves are wide but not killed. The wat board is made of locust wood, and the belt is made of cyan leather, decorated with black horns, and the tail of the tart hangs at the back.

Although the jinshi uniform is not an official uniform, it has become extremely formal, and it needs to be worn when the palace is passed on in the coming day, and the candidates who get the jinshi uniform hurry back to prepare, if it is not suitable, they can find someone to exchange with each other, but they cannot be cut and modified without authorization.

Because this dress is only lent to the test taker for a few days. After the release ceremony of Confucius's holy master, it will be returned to the imperial court and reserved for the next Jinshi.

When the top three reported the good news, there were more than ten tributes in the teahouse where Su Tong was located. There are already only two or three people who have not received the good news.

In the palace examination list, no news is generally good news, not to mention that the top three has been announced as two hundred and two, and the candidates themselves pinched their fingers and counted, there are ninety-five people in the second class, and three people in the first class. There are exactly 300 people, which means that no one failed in this palace examination. If it is not in the top three, it must be in the second class or above.

After the release of the second class, more people began to pay attention to the newspapers on the street that came and went to report the good news, and the newspapers would shout the names and rankings of the second class jinshi very loudly when they reported the good news:

"Master Chang of Suzhou, the thirty-sixth place in the second class of the high school palace examination!"

……

"Master Li of Jiangling, the nineteenth place in the second class of the high school hall exam!"

……

"Master Sun of the old city, the first place in the second class of the high school palace examination."

In the list of good news, only the candidate's hometown, surname, and ranking will not be said to be from the Jinshi or the same Jinshi, because the candidates are only the identity of the tribute before the second day of the palace, and the name of the Jinshi is given by the emperor himself, and even the name cannot be called by the ordinary newspaper because of the Jinshi, and they are all "a certain master".

The good news of the second class, starting from the ninety-fifth place in the second class, to the end of Sun Xu, the first place in the second class, because the candidates live in different places, in fact, I want to know how many candidates are listed only after the end of the next day.

"Almost."

Su Tong finally couldn't sit still anymore when he got to the back, and came to the window to look at the street outside. This is less than one street away from the Dongsheng Inn, if the person who announces the good news comes out of the Ministry of Rites, he must pass through here, Su Tong has been waiting for Shen Xi's final ranking, and he is a little nervous, but the later the news comes, the higher the ranking.

Li Yu asked puzzledly, "Brother Su, what's almost the same?" And also...... Brother Su's friend, should we go and visit and ask what number of them are listed? ”

Li Yu took the opportunity to find an opportunity to encourage Su Tong to take him to meet this "Jinshi friend".

Su Tong shook his head slightly and said, "No need, let's go to a place first, not far from here." ”

Li Yu settled the account, and went downstairs with Su Tong, and before he walked a few steps to the Dongsheng Inn, he heard the sound of good news from the newspaper behind: "Good news, Master Shen of Ninghua County, Fujian, high school has not been the top student in the palace test, good news, Ninghua County, Fujian, ......"

The good news of the champion spread, and several nearby streets followed the noise.

In this year, the champion is the most outstanding representative of the carp leaping over the dragon gate, and he is also the person who is praised as an idol by the common people and scholars, and there is only one in three years.

Now I know that the champion is Master Shen of Ninghua, Fujian, and some people have already called out the name of "Shen Xi", after all, after fighting with Tang Bohu and fermenting the inscription case, the name Shen Xi has not been a household name in the capital recently, but no one among the scholars has not mentioned it.

"Master Shen is the champion, Master Shen is the champion, let's go and please, three yuan and the first!"
