Chapter 9 The day of the release of the list has finally arrived
Unconsciously, when Luo Yan counted the prestige value with his fingers, the day of Jinshike's release of the list also came. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There were still two days left before the system shop refreshed, and during this time, Luo Yan finally waited for the reputation to slowly rise enough to redeem the "Principle of Seawater Drying Salt".
Luo Yan complained a little about the speed at which information spread in the Tang Dynasty. If this is left to future generations, as long as there is no greeting from the relevant departments, no news can be spread throughout the country in an hour or two.
And now, it seems that Luo Yan's limelight is like a small wave in the sea. It's been a few days, and it's time to start spreading the word of mouth It's quite popular, Luo Yan watched his reputation rise at that time. As a result, within three days of this situation, the upward trend of reputation points slowed down.
No matter how much Luo Yan's limelight is, it can't compare to the enthusiasm that has dissipated due to the passage of time.
In addition, he himself has not shown his face in front of people since that night of the Teaching Division, and gradually people's conversation has shifted to other places.
As the time for the release of the Jinshi list is approaching, the hot topic in Chang'an City has also shifted to the question of who is the Jinshi today.
Luo Yan, who has been in the limelight the most recently, is naturally also a big hit on the list, the difference is whether he is in the first class or the second class. For this issue, it is divided into two factions, one side says that Luo Yan's poetry will definitely be able to impress the main exam, and there is no suspense for the first class; Those who have opposing opinions also have a heartfelt word, Luo Yan's poetry must not have been said, but the poetry is only an additional test, so it mainly depends on the current policy, Luo Yan was first famous after leaving the examination room, and the sentence 'do your best to obey the destiny of heaven' shows that Luo Yan himself is not sure, so the biggest possibility is still second-class.
Some people even opened a gamble for this, and Luo Yan originally wanted to gamble. But when he heard the reasons why he fell into the second class, he was also a little uneasy in his heart. It stands to reason that Luo Yan copied the "Six Classics", but whether this is in line with the appetite of the main examiner, Luo Yan still doesn't dare to pack the ticket.
Thinking that the first task of the system would fail, Luo Yan's back was also cold. As for the reward of the "Commentary on the Analects", Luo Yan thought that he had won it. This is the foundation of the Nine Classics, and if you can't complete the task, you'll be doomed.
The course of history does not wait for itself, and this late year will be one year less time to complete the ultimate task.
On the day of the release of the list, Zhou Jin and the others got up early and urged Luo Yan to go to the official department to read the list together.
Luo Yan was still a little nervous at this time, after all, the answer had not yet been revealed, so in this case, Luo Yan couldn't help but feel worried. Therefore, for the first time, it was unprecedentedly washed before Zhou Jin knocked on the door. It's not that Luo Yan doesn't want to take the initiative to call Zhou Jin and a few of them, but he really doesn't have that kind of mood now.
Among the few people from Luzhou, Zhou Jin is the most free, and he himself said that although he is not completely sure, even if he does not pass the exam this time, he will still have a chance next year. With his family background, he can afford to wait.
Therefore, in the end, it was Zhou Jin who knocked on the door and called people.
There is still a distance from the inn rented by Luo Yan and the others. Along the way, several people were not as active as they were drinking together a few days ago, and the atmosphere had been warmed up in advance because of the release of the list.
This is undoubtedly a matter of heaven and hell in an instant, except for Zhou Jin, everyone feels that this journey is so long, and their legs are so heavy.
Luo Yan was also worried when he first left, so Zhou Jin came over to talk to him several times, but he coped with a few words. Zhou Jin also knew that everyone was indeed under a lot of pressure at this time, so he said a few words briefly, and was silent like everyone else.
But halfway through, Luo Yan suddenly showed a stunned expression. Everyone was walking with their heads down, so no one noticed his expression.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for becoming a Jinshi Ke A, completing the novice task, and rewarding the "Analects of the Analects". There is a long way to go, and I hope that the host will continue to work hard. ”
Luo Yan shook his head, feeling that clear current circulating in his mind, thinking that it was real.
Looking at the sun in the sky, estimating the time, it is exactly after eight o'clock, according to the early dynasty system of the Tang Dynasty, at this time there is no implementation of the rules of the early dynasty of the Shuowang day, so as long as it is a five-grade Beijing official, it must be attended every day. The time of the regular visit is exactly between 7 and 9 o'clock. So calculated, at this time, it should be that the officials have just presented the list of winners to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan will make the final decision.
Letting go of the tension in his heart, Luo Yan actually had the heart to ponder the rules of the system at this time.
At this time, Zhou Jin came over to talk again.
Looking at Zhou Jin's expression of wanting to say something, Luo Yan secretly laughed. I didn't pay much attention to it just now because I was nervous, and it is estimated that Zhou Jin not only accosted him, but also encountered coping with several other people.
So Luo Yan took the initiative to greet Zhou Jin in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, you must also know that everyone is very nervous at this time. I hope Brother Zhou will forgive me for the rude behavior just now. ”
Zhou Jin's character is destined to be not the kind of person who cares, and when he saw Luo Yan taking the initiative to talk to him, he responded happily: "Oh, Brother Luo, but I am suffocated." You also know my temper, everyone is so sullen, I really can't stand it. ”
Thinking about it, although Zhou Jin is not a chatter, his personality is indeed quite out-of-the-box. At this moment, a group of people were silent, and their expressions were extremely serious, as if they were trapped by a rope to him.
"Brother Zhou is free and easy, unlike me, this fame is indeed a bit of a demon." Luo Yan slapped Zhou Jin's ass silently.
"Brother Luo's words are not right, in fact, I am also nervous, otherwise how can I talk to people everywhere. Everyone is nervous, but the way they behave is different. Zhou Jin told the truth in one sentence.
Luo Yan couldn't help but be speechless, really, hahaha, worthy of Zhou Jin, really different from ordinary people.
So the two of them walked together and whispered about today's list.
With the person to talk to, and he already knew the result, Luo Yan felt that he hadn't walked long before he had already arrived at the entrance of the bureaucracy.
The answer is about to be revealed, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more solemn at this time. As Zhou Jin said to look at the list, several people hurriedly ran to the notice wall.
The notice wall is the page on the right side of the eight-character wall at the entrance of the official department, because the list of Jinshike is a great event, so it is used "red indication", to put it bluntly, it is to write the words on the red paper. Because the black characters on a red background are not easy to recognize, everyone needs to look close to see the list. In order to prevent chaos in the scene, Jin Wuwei sent a few people to maintain order for the first time on this day.
Although Luo Yan knew that he had won, on the one hand, he was curious about who else was in the promotion, and on the other hand, he didn't want to become too different, so he also followed everyone to the notice wall. At this time, the official department has not posted the list, and everyone is crowded in order to occupy a good position, so that they can have a glimpse when the list is posted.
Just after waiting in the crowd for a short time, two small officials came out of the yamen of the official department, one holding a rolled red paper in his hand, and the other holding a brush and paste in his hand.
Due to the existence of Jin Wuwei, the two officials easily pasted the red paper on the notice wall without being blocked.
The list is only one page, and each line is written from left to right with the candidate's name, place of origin and rank.
Luo Yan didn't squeeze into a good position, so the list he saw only roughly knew how many people were selected. I counted it from top to bottom, and it was roughly more than twenty and not thirty. Knowing this number, Luo Yan was still a little shocked, thousands of people, and finally more than 20 people were on the list, and the college entrance examination in later generations often used thousands of troops to cross the single-plank bridge to describe the cruelty of the exam, but compared with the acceptance rate of the two exams, I am afraid that Jinshike is still more cruel.
From the time of the posting, there was a lot of commotion at the scene, and many people tried to squeeze under the notice wall to see.
The idea is good, but don't forget that there are also these guys. Jin Wuwei has always been selected from the children of meritorious families, even if these scholars are really lifted, the other party has nothing to fear, so these Jin Wuwei are extremely black.
Looking at the grinning appearance of the soldier who was beaten back, everyone was finally afraid, and the scene suddenly became extremely orderly.
But everyone's enthusiasm for watching the list has not cooled in the slightest, so they are secretly still squeezing forward. Fortunately, the soldiers at the front also knew that after crossing the line of Jin Wuwei and these guys, they were afraid that they would also be beaten, so they shouted loudly to read out the list.
Wait until someone does a good deed, and finally it is not so crowded anymore. And the voice of the scholar in front of him reading the list was extremely loud.
"Cen Zijin, Yangzhou State School, Class A."
"Chen Sheng, Taiyuan Fuxue, First Class."
……
"Luo Yan, Luzhou State School, Class A."
……
"Zhou Jin, Luzhou State School, B."
Of the twenty-six people, Jiangnan scholars accounted for more than half. Luzhou Prefecture School also showed its face, and two jinshi came out at once. However, Yangzhou Prefecture has learned three, and the limelight is even greater.
At this time, the Jinshi list has not been as good as the Ming Dynasty, only the ranks, and the rankings are in order.
Every time the scholar in front of him pronounced a name, the crowd would burst into congratulations. The scholars who wanted to read the rankings also knew that everyone needed such a little time to celebrate, so the time to read the rankings was also relatively long, and the twenty or so names were remembered for nearly half an hour. Luo Yan also received congratulations from many scholars, although he didn't seem to know any of these people.
Zhou Jin was the last of the second class, so after reading it, he didn't wait for everyone to celebrate. Jin Wuwei, who was guarding next to the list, took the place of the adults of the Ministry of Officials and announced that the scholars who were promoted in three days would go to the Ministry of Officials to confer officials.
No scholar will shed tears because he did not win the promotion, and the Jinshi Branch is not the only way to obtain his birth and official position.
On this day, Luo Yan's time was spent in congratulations and return gifts.
