Yang Zheng has long been out of mind about the results of the palace examination, anyway, Zhao Zhen, the top three, will definitely not give him this son-in-law, he only needs to make a convincing plan now, Zhao Zhen will not treat him badly, in fact, Zhao Zhen has not treated meritorious officials badly.

And if the development plan of Ezo Island can be successful, I believe that the Great Song Dynasty will never be pushed into the abyss step by step.

The more than 200 new scholars standing outside the Donghua Gate were in a stirring mood, and they studied hard for ten years, in order to be the beautiful moment that this scholar dreams of.

Yang Zhengdian tried to get a score of ten C, which is no secret in Shilin, and a provincial test will be the first to the bottom of the Yuan Result Palace, which has made Yang Zheng a typical person who gets carried away.

And Wang Xianyi in the crowd was wearing a white brocade robe, standing in the crowd looking left and right, greeting his classmates, looking complacent, Yang Zheng's humiliation of their master and apprentice on the Yuan Festival made him ashamed to see people for a while, and when he heard that Yang Zheng got a score of ten C, their master and apprentice happily did two jars of Yu Chunlie.

Zhao Zhen has been in the reign for nearly 30 years, although the first ten years are Liu's curtain to listen to the government, but each imperial examination is still by him for the top three roll call, since he was pro-government, the importance of the imperial examination is even more, the Great Song Dynasty not only needs him to work hard, but also needs his ministers to work together, and his protégés are the best candidates.

The procedure of issuing the list is very cumbersome, first by the officials of the Ministry of Rites to organize everyone to sacrifice to the heavens, bless the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, and then by the presiding over the palace examination Tang Jie's speech, roughly nothing more than in Zhao Zhen's attention and leadership, the imperial examination was a complete success, for the country to select more than 200 outstanding talents, at the same time emphasized that the results of the palace examination is the result of Zhao Zhen and the political affairs hall of the public deliberation, and at the same time warned these quasi-jinshi that they must keep Huang En in mind, for the construction and development of the Great Song Dynasty to do their best, and then die.

Although it was the first time for Tang Jie to preside over such a ceremony, his aura was not small, and his loud voice echoed over the Donghua Gate, and his words made the Jinshi below listen to it with fascination, and the picture of his dedication to the country and the people and his name in history has appeared in his mind.

After Tang Jie's words, Zhao Zhen walked on the stage with a serious expression, although his voice was a little lacking in qi because of his weakened body, but the imperial majesty cultivated in the thirty years of reign still made the Donghua Gate of Nuoda silent.

After the routine speech, Zhao Zhen took the list presented by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and slowly spoke in everyone's nervous expectation:

"Huangyou three-year palace test, first place, Kaifeng Yang Zheng"

Zhao Zhen read aloud.

"Wow!"

As soon as Zhao Zhen read out Yang Zheng's name, the audience exploded in an uproar, the noise made Zhao Zhen frown slightly, and Tang Jie and a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites standing next to him broke out in a cold sweat on their faces, this is a big etiquette, if something goes wrong, a group of them will have to be charged with incompetence, and demotion and exile are already light.

"Silence!"

"Silence!"

Tang Jie saw that the noise was getting louder and louder, and he took two steps forward and shouted loudly.

The Jinshi in the audience realized that the official family was still watching them from above, and Tang Jie's loud scolding made them slowly calm down, although they didn't know why Yang Zhenghui, who had ten C's, became the champion, but the awe of the imperial power still made them quiet.

"Second place, Suzhou Fan Wei"

"Third place, Qingzhou Weize"

When the crowd quieted down, Zhao Zhen continued to read the remaining two or three, and handed the list to Tang Jie, and the rest was Tang Jie's work, and he came to announce the top three to show that he attached importance to the imperial examination and motivated the students.

After the rest of the list was announced by the officials of the Ministry of Rites one by one, it was posted on the imperial list that had already been prepared under the Donghua Gate.

It's just that this is not over, the top three also have a special treatment, the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette have invited the three into a side hall and let them change into the official uniforms that have been prepared, according to the convention, Yang Zheng is the official uniform of the eighth grade, while Fan Wei and Wei are from the eighth grade.

Put on a brand-new official uniform, ride a docile high-headed horse, and under the arch guard of a team of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, go out of the Donghua Gate, and go around from the Donghua Gate, and the entire ranking ceremony will be completed.

Yang Zheng was dizzy in his mind from the moment he heard his name, and the surprise came too suddenly, Mu Ran followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites, changed into official uniforms and paraded through the streets according to their command.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites read out the holy decree that the emperor would give a banquet in Qionglin Yuan two days later, and the ceremony was officially over.

"Childe, why do you look unhappy?"

After the release of the list, Ruyi, who was dressed in men's clothes, looked at Yang Zheng's absent-minded appearance in official clothes and asked strangely.

She still remembers the heartfelt smile when her father bragged in front of her when he was admitted to the Jinshi list that year, and she can imagine how happy her father was back then, and Yang Zheng was still the champion.

"No, I'm a little confused..."

Of course Yang Zheng is happy, but after two lifetimes, he is not happy, he is thinking about the intentions of Zhao Zhen and the big names in the political hall, so that he can become a champion with a horse, which will definitely cause a huge adverse impact in Shilin.

"Where's your brother?" Looking around, he didn't find the figure of Huyan Mountain, and Yang Zheng asked curiously.

"I asked him to go back and report the good news to the second master," Ruyi said speechlessly.

Yang Zheng didn't think of reporting the good news to the cheap second grandfather, and Yang Shu also longed for Yang Zheng to take the top exam again when Yang Zheng was in high school, but Yang Zheng dispelled this idea.

"It's still as thoughtful as you think..."

Yang Zheng said with emotion.

In fact, there is no need to go back to Huyanshan to report the news, someone arrived earlier than him, and the lively people have already invited the lion dance performance, and they came to the gate of the Yang Mansion with gongs and drums, which caused the people around the Yang Mansion to watch and applaud.

After the unknown Yang Shu followed the gatehouse out of the Yang Mansion, the team outside the Yang Mansion shouted in unison:

"Congratulations to Young Master Yang for his high school champion"

"Congratulations to Young Master Yang for his high school champion"

……

Yang Shu was startled by the deafening shout, and then reacted, Yang Zheng won the top prize!

"Haha, okay, come on, prepare a banquet!"

When Yang Zheng returned to Yang's Mansion with Ruyi, there were already flowing water seats outside the door, and Yang Shu was greeting the neighbors who came to congratulate him with a red face.

The two secretly entered the West Garden from the side and did not go to the front door to join in the fun.

It is the father and daughter of the Cao family who really need to be entertained.

The banquet was in the courtyard of Cao Min in Yuchun Building, Cao Min sat beside Yang Zheng with a smile on his face and diligently poured wine and vegetables for Yang Zheng, Cao Tong was not angry, and happily poured himself a drink.

Yang Zheng took the top prize, Cao Tong was quite happy, his status as an uncle was respected, although he had no real power, his political sense was not low, Yang Zheng became the champion means that he will definitely be among the court, it is likely that this is the precursor of Zhao Zhen to re-elect a son-in-law for the princess.

"Qinghe, what kind of article did you write at the bottom of the road to make the official family risk making you the champion?"

"It's about the overseas development of horse farms, this matter has not yet been decided, and my uncle knows it," Yang Zheng did not hide it, and said truthfully.

"No wonder..."Cao Tong suddenly realized, the Cao family has produced many famous generals, he naturally knows the importance of war horses, the Great Song Dynasty also has several horse farms in the northwest, but the location is too small, and the quality of the grass is too poor, it can't become a climate at all.
