As soon as Xia Yan's words fell, the Han generals on both sides followed closely behind and shouted: "First place, Gongsheng Zheng Guang will meet you!" For a while, the same sentence echoed in front of the entire Fengtian Palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zheng Guang was stunned, he felt as if he had heard his name just now, but, but that was the first place, champion, how could it be himself? He didn't react, he stood stupidly, until Xu Wei next to him reacted and secretly pushed him with his hand, he looked over blankly, Xu Wei was helpless, and said in a low voice: "It's you!" Flat! You're the champion! 1st place! Go ahead! ”

Zheng Guang's eyes widened, his breath became short, and he muttered in a low voice, "I'm number one?" Am I the champion? ”

The scholars around him looked at Zheng Guang with extremely envious eyes, looking at this super lucky person who only has one every three years, the taste in their hearts was very special, I was afraid that they would never forget it for the rest of their lives, until the roar of the Han generals clearly reached Zheng Guang's ears, Zheng Guang then reacted, their Han is indeed themselves, that is, they are right!

Champion!

Zheng Guang!

The middle-aged official of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of guidance on the side had already seen a lot of first-class jinshi who were "overwhelmed by happiness", and when he saw that Zheng Guang did not move, he whispered over and said: "Champion Yuanlang, don't be happy, please follow the lower officials into the palace to thank you!" ”

Zheng Guang's heart was pounding, his brain was no longer able to think normally, Rao was that he had seen the wind and waves, but at this moment he still felt that happiness came too suddenly, he had never had the luxury of being able to get the first place, and he was not even too eager for a first-class jinshi, because he knew that there were too many cattle in this subject, Li Chunfang, Zhang Juzheng, and the two future first assistants were in the period, leading the twenty-six years of legendary jinshi of the Longqing and Wanli dynasties, and he could actually stand in front of them?

Zheng Guang followed the official's golden palace like a puppet, and sang with the celebrant in a song as light as a gossamer, and shouted long live the mountain of three knocks and nine bows, and then was led to the place where the Wenchen team of the left class was standing at the sixth grade, until this time, Zheng Guang was still dizzy and at a loss, and he didn't know what he had just done.

"The first and second place in the list, Li Chunfang!" Xia Yan's majestic and loud voice sounded again.

Seeing Li Chunfang, who was full of surprise and inexplicability in a hurry, Zheng Guangcai finally reacted and realized that he had become the best among the scholars who only came out every three years and had not produced hundreds in more than a thousand years......

To tell the truth, he really didn't expect that he could occupy such an amazing position in the legendary scientific examination class of Jiajing in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, the scientific examination class of this subject, both civil and military, there are first assistants, there are generals, and there are people who are righteous and awe-inspiring and look at death as home, there are many people who have made political achievements, and there are more people who have made excellent political achievements, most of them have survived in the political whirlpool in the future, and embarked on the road of glory, becoming the helmsman of the climax of Jialong's great reform.

And in this group of people who in a sense determined the future fate of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Guang, an outsider, occupied the first position, not from beginning to end is the first, but from beginning to end is a very high ranking, from the three first small three yuan in Suzhou Mansion, to the second in the township examination, the third in the Hui examination, and the first in the palace examination, he has never fallen out of the top three, and this is the first time, it is the first time he has participated in the imperial examination.

The imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty was known for its difficulty!

Zheng Guang couldn't help but look up at the distance not far away, the incomparably majestic Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxuan, the most powerful emperor since the Yongle Emperor, would he really take his own strategy, and prevent Xia Yan and Zeng Miao's re-set battle, and indirectly achieve his goal of protecting Xia Yan and Zeng Mi from being killed?

Emperor Jiajing seemed to feel something, and Zheng Guang looked at each other, smiled slightly, looking at this young man who would soon become his important courtier, his age, his thoughts, his enterprising, and his talent would be an important support for him to be able to cultivate in Xiyuan with peace of mind.

And before that, the most important thing is how to solve the matter of whether to open the sea ban or not, speaking of which, the issue of the sea ban is not something that no one has discussed, but the opposition is too huge, and the emperor really can't see the necessity of opening the sea ban, but when Zheng Guang mentioned it, Emperor Jiajing began to think, as a native of the southeast, Zheng Guang said so, so, can the sea ban really become a good cure for the woes?

Emperor Jiajing was thinking.

"The third place in the first class is Tanhua, Hu Zhengmeng!"

"First place in the second grade, Xu Wei!"

"Second place in the second class, Kang Siqian!"

"Third place in the second class, Zhang Chun!"

"Fourth place in the second class, Wang Bosun!"

"Fifth place in the second class, Zhang Juzheng!"

……………………

Three hundred and one names, each name must be pronounced in an extremely loud and solemn voice, creating a magnificent momentum, Rao is Xia Yan's body is tough, and he can't stand his old body, more than three hundred names are pronounced, and the whole person almost turned his back on it, but fortunately, he finally coped with it, and after that, the first class jinshi and the second class jinshi worshiped the emperor together in the main hall, and the third class jinshi did not need to go in, mainly because there were too many people and could not stand in the hall.

Everyone bowed to the emperor together, thanked the emperor, and won the title of the protégé of the Son of Heaven, and began to enter a glorious career, among which the most honorable person was naturally the three Jinshi of the first class, Zheng Guang, Li Chunfang and Hu Zhengmeng, the three of them will not have to participate in the imperial examination for the selection of Jishi, and can be directly awarded the official position of the Hanlin Academy.

And Zheng Guang also broke a record - the record of winning the championship at the age of 20 held by Fei Hong, the champion of Chenghua for 23 years and the first assistant of this dynasty; To be exact, when Fei Hong was the champion, he was twenty years and eight months old, and Zheng Guang is now eighteen years and two months old, refreshing the Jinshi record of the Ming Dynasty.

Soon, the emperor withdrew, and the rest of the matter did not need the emperor's participation, the emperor stayed in the Forbidden City, always felt uncomfortable, and left early if he could, and the next grand event of "Imperial Street Praise Officials" did not need the emperor's participation, everything, let the first assistant Xia Yan preside, Xia Yan looked at this young man with a complicated expression, and his heart was also complicated.

It can be said that this young man's victory is to step on his advice, the emperor suppressed his advice, promoted this young man, and punctured one of his dreams, if he is replaced by Yan Song, Zheng Guang must start to beware of Yan Song, lest he play yin, but Xia Yan, Zheng Guang doesn't have to bother to be a villain at all, Xia Yan is a frank and unrestrained person, even if he has been up and down in officialdom for so many years, he still does not change his original intention, maintains his original intention, and more importantly, Xia Yan will not suppress someone because of personal factors.

This is an extremely rare advantage in officialdom, even if it is a person who has offended Xia Yan, as long as he has real talent, Xia Yan will not deliberately suppress him, just like Xu Jie, the clansman who once suppressed Xia Yan, was made a small report by this clan, Xia Yan did not favor, and after carefully probing Xu Jie's words, deeds and political achievements, he made the decision to promote Xu Jie's official position in Beijing.

Xu Jie was very moved, and went to meet him in person, but unexpectedly, Xia Yan was very cold to him, and simply said, I didn't promote you for any other factors, I don't like you, I don't have a good impression of you, I just see that your talent is beneficial to the country, so I came to promote you, this is for the country, not for personal feelings, you don't have to thank me at all.

Such a frank person is so rare in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

Such an old man, Zheng Guang really can't watch him being killed by Yan Song, the talented Zeng Miao, Zheng Guang can't watch him killed, but Zheng Guang can't fight with the current Yan Song anyway, if he is involved in the struggle between Xia Yan and Yan Song, it will inevitably involve him in the party struggle, which is fatal for Zheng Guang, so Zheng Guang chose the strategy of saving the country by changing the emperor's mind to save Xia Yan and Zeng Miao.

Zheng Guang didn't know if this would work, but he had to give it a try.
