In just one night, all the scholars in the city who had some connections knew their ranks.

Of course, at this time, it is not enough to circulate in a small circle. After all, the real sense of anticipation is still on the day of the pass. The purpose of the pass is to show the emperor's grace and give the candidates supreme glory. Therefore, the person who preaches in the palace is the current official family. For an ordinary scholar, it is really an incomparably honorable.

The procedure before the roll call is the same as that of the house examination.

It's also to get the number from the ministry, but this time it's more and more rigorous, and the red seal of "Entering the Yingdian Palace" will be stamped on each number post.

On the day of the rumor, a group of scholars waited in front of the Hening Gate early. Before entering the door, someone is responsible for collecting the number post, and you can only enter after verifying that it is correct.

It was still a little time later, and after Zhao Ji finished dealing with the affairs of the early dynasty, he rushed to Jiying Palace.

After sitting on the dragon chair, the chamberlain knelt in front of him with the roster in hand. Looking at the neat scholars standing outside the hall, Zhao Ji was complacent. In the past, Tang Taizong was arrogant and said that all the talents in the world were in the middle, and now Zhao Ji also feels like this.

The time is right.

This is the auspicious time that Si Tian has calculated. Through Zaifu's communication, Zhao Ji nodded, looked at the scholars outside the hall, and read aloud: "Shao Wujun Ye Jiayi, Ye Zuqia, the first place in the first class." "After Zhao Ji reads his name, one person in the hall will be in the hall, and four guards outside the hall will be called in turn. And as a champion, it has its own honor. After the roll call, Ye Zuqia stepped into the hall to thank him.

Subsequently, it was Mr. Chen Shengzhi, the old gentleman of Pingzhang, who was under the same Zhongshu sect, who read through Ye Zuqia's exam papers, and then Xie En stood in the middle of the first class. The next list and Tanhua are also treated like this, but after thanking him, he can only be separated from Ye Zuqia.

"Niu'anbao, Chengji County, Qinzhou, Shen Yun, fourth place in the first class."

Although it has been until this result for a long time, Shen Yun is still extremely excited when he hears Zhao Ji's roll call. In my previous life, I had only seen what the country's leaders looked like on TV, but where would they be so close. And now, this emperor, who is two or three years older than himself, is not far in front of him. Shen Yun stepped into the hall and bowed.

However, the first and fourth are not qualified to stand in the same place as the top three, and Shen Yun can only start another class and stand in the center. After standing still, a lieutenant handed over two pieces of yellow hemp paper and glued them together, on which were written the information of his life, place and rank, which was called Huang. Don't look at this little thing as inconspicuous, but with the big seal of the Ministry of Officials stamped on it, it looks different.

Of course, the first class still has some privileges, Shen Yun's class only has seven people, and the second class of scholars can only start another class. For the other grades, they share one class.

With 300 people on roll call, the ceremony was not unceremonious. Zhao Ji also made a capital this time, and he said the names and rankings of 300 people in a row, but he didn't drink a sip of water.

After the roll call, there was a more important ceremony, which was to give the armor.

This is the first thing created by the Great Song Dynasty, and according to the ranking of the Jinshi, different origins are given. The first class is naturally the Jinshi and the first, the second class is given the Jinshi origin, and the rest are all given to the same Jinshi origin.

The roll call is now over, but the process of passing on the name is only halfway there. The top three of the first class presented poems to Zhao Ji to thank him, needless to say, even if Shangguan Jun, who did not agree with the new policy, he looked grateful at this time. After offering the poem, seeing that the time had reached noon, Zhao Ji nodded to the lieutenant: "Give Sankui a poem." The rest of the jinshi are given three kinds of food. ”

Don't think that what Heaven has rewarded you is very good.

The so-called three kinds of food, but two pieces of meatloaf, fortunately, the imperial dining room did not have a black heart to the lamb without any seasoning. The fishy smell is removed, and it tastes good. Then there are two pieces of vegetarian cake and a bowl of mutton soup.

Su Shi once wrote in a poem that after eating mutton for three or five months in a row, he felt fishy when he saw it. However, for Shen Yun, who can't eat meat a few times a year, mutton soup and vegetarian cakes, a bowl of authentic northwest flavor appears. After eating the gluttony, the waiter accepted the dishes and chopsticks, and the group thanked them again.

At this time, Zhao Ji was also a little tired, nodded, and was about to leave the Jiying Palace. Before leaving, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to the soldiers who stood respectfully: "Well, I will give Shen Yun, the fourth place in the first class, a set of carriages and horses, and praise the officials on the street." ”

Shen Yun suddenly became the focus of everyone's envy. Although the ranking is not in the top three, this treatment seems to be no different from the top three.

The new jinshi carefully withdrew from the hall, watched Zhao Ji leave, and scrambled to take the robe under the hall corridor. Light yellow silk shirt, light yellow silk belt, green Luo official uniform, jade wat board. There were a few elderly jinshi who didn't even have time to take off their coats, so they directly put their shirts on top of them, looking bulging.

Shen Yun didn't rush to snatch it, and when many people had finished receiving it, he took a set, took off the blue cloth shirt outside in a secluded place, dressed this set neatly, and packed up the original clothes into a package, and then carried the package in one hand and the wat board in the other.

Ying Qian lined up behind Shen Yun, and when he saw the appearance of this person, he applauded: "Brother Shen has this shirt to set off, and he is becoming more and more heroic." It's a pity that there are no sisters in Ying's family, otherwise he would have to marry Brother Shen. And Li Zhiyi was also among the top ranks, and at this time she also put on her official uniform, smiling and nodding in admiration.

It's just that the words and deeds of the two of them aroused the dissatisfaction of the champion not far away, although he didn't say anything, he looked at Shen Yun and snorted coldly, and then held the wat board in one hand, and shook the royal pen poem that he had just gotten in the other. Then he strode away.

How did Ye Zuqia come to be the champion, in fact, it has also spread among these jinshi. Many honest scholars were dissatisfied with this guy's flattery. At this time, seeing that he was still on the shelf, they all muttered in their hearts.

And Han Yang, who had been clamoring to be superior to Shen Yun in the past, was now only a second-class player. Seeing Shen Yun's gaze sweeping over, he also snorted coldly, lowered his head and stopped talking.

smiled and arched his hand towards Ying Qianyi and Li Zhiyi, and then watched Zhao Wenqing and the three of them put on their clothes, and then said, "Everyone, should we go out." ”

Coming out of the Jiying Palace, led by the inner attendant, the group slowly came to the Donghua Gate.

At this time, the officials had already prepared the carriages and horses, and when they saw this group of Jinshi in green uniforms coming over, someone immediately took out the roster and read loudly: "The first place in the first class, the champion, the jinshi and the first, Shao Wujun Ye Jiayi, Ye Zuqia." I respectfully ask the champion to board the bus. At this time, in addition to the carriages and horses, there were countless people outside the Donghua Gate.

The roll call of Jiying Hall is to show the kindness of the Son of Heaven. And the roll call outside the Donghua Gate is to let the Jinshi get endless glory.

I really don't know how many flower gardens in the city have suffered, and when Ye Zuqia boarded the car, the young women threw out the petals in their hands like crazy. Many Jinshi who watched it were sincerely envious. However, it is useless to be envious, the champion is not a cabbage, there is only one in three years, and only he can be such a thing.

Of course, Ye Zuqia's enjoyment of this treatment made many people unhappy.

Shangguan Jun and Tanhua's treatment was not much worse, and they all received the screams and applause of countless girls before boarding the car. The distance between the three people was also relaxed, and the next person would not start until the previous person's carriage and horse had crossed the street.

As for Shen Yun here: "The fourth place in the first class, the first and the first, Shen Yun ......" The call is not as enthusiastic as before, after all, in the era of looking at faces, the applause earned by talent is not as good as the three above. Of course, when the people heard the phrase "special praise for officials parade through the streets", they still had a lot of shock in their hearts.

I think this is about the same level as Tanhua.

In the high-rise private room not far away, two handsome sons and brothers were eating fruit wine at this time, watching the movement outside the Donghua Gate. If Shen Yun was here, he would definitely greet with a smile: "Brother Su, Brother Mei." ”

"The eldest brother is really, let him tell him how Shen Yun did in the exam, he actually shook his head again and again, and said that the secret of heaven should not be revealed. Can't you talk to your own family? It's really not a big official, but this official authority is very tight. I also have to ask me to come and see it myself today. ”

Su Mo complained very unhappily, let Mei He on the side laugh like a silver bell, and then persuaded: "Miss, maybe the uncle just wants Miss to come and see it for himself." Oops, look, they're out. This year's champion doesn't look good, you look dark, the cheekbones are high, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a good person. ”

"Isn't the little girl going to pick a wishful man out of this jinshi? That list is called Shangguan Jun, I think it's good. And it's a good year. ”

"Miss, don't tease me. I'm just a servant, how dare I cling to it like this. What's more, Mei Xiang has to serve Miss for the rest of her life. Mei He was a little shy, looked at Su Mo with a smile on his face, and shouted for injustice. But as soon as he said a few words, he exclaimed: "Miss, look, Shen Gongzi is out." ”

When Su Mo heard this, he put down his wine glass and stood up, looking at the young scholar who slowly walked out of the Donghua Gate, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

"I really can't see that Shen Gongzi is so heroic when he wears this green Luo official uniform." Mei He exclaimed, causing Su Mo to become more and more happy: "Well, if he wears vermilion, I don't know what it will look like when the time comes." Forget it, when did I become such a power-loving person? ”

When Su Mo was shaking his head, he suddenly heard the person from the official department chanting Shen Yun's ranking, followed by a burst of joy from Mei Xiang: "Miss, Shen Gongzi, he is actually the fourth in the first class." ”

At this time, Su Wu, who was satisfied, couldn't help but ridicule his brother: "I'll just say why didn't my eldest brother tell me for a long time, it turns out that Shen Gongzi's Jiadi is much higher than him." Haha, go back tonight and see how I play tricks on him. ”
