Xu Gang said goodbye to Shen Hao and Zhang An, and as soon as he came downstairs, he was intercepted by the shopkeeper Li and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Bianjing together.

In order to discharge the ranking of the palace examination as soon as possible, after the palace examination, the Son of Heaven began to read the papers, and it took two days to read them! What makes the Son of Heaven entangled is not the champion candidate, but Tanhua and Bangyan, because he has already placed a test paper next to him, and the frontispiece of the imperial pen Zhu is marked with six big characters of "First Grade, First Place", and the title at the end of the volume: Xu Gang!

In the early morning of the third day, it was the day of the release of the list and the passing of the list, and all the candidates were dressed up and stood outside the Xuande Gate again. The tension of all the candidates at this moment is even stronger than the day of the palace examination, because the next moment is an important moment that determines their status!

Xu Gang stood in the center, not like the people around him, talking to each other, but looking at his nose and nose, his nose and his heart, standing there quietly, even his heart was as calm as water!

For Xu Gang, he will try to pass the test, and he has already completed the mission, as for the final ranking, it is not the most important thing for him, so he dared to write his own voice in the article, which may be consistent with what the Son of Heaven thinks, but it greatly violates the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu Yang Wen and suppressing martial arts!

From time to time, there were whispers, which kept coming into his ears, who was most likely to be the champion, who might be the leader, or who was the flower. His name is also very high, and he is on the top two rankings, who said he would try first! At this time.

Suddenly, a bell rang upstairs, and then I heard a yellow door shouting at the top of his voice: "The auspicious time is coming, and the hundred officials will lead the new upstarts to meet you!" ”

There was silence!

Today is a festive day for the imperial court to recruit talents and candidates for the title of the gold list, and the way to enter the palace is a little different from usual, and it is changed to enter through the two doors that are usually closed.

Where did the new jinshi know this, they all smeared their eyes, and under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they just followed the instructions

Today is the ceremony, the place where the ceremony is held is in the Wende Palace, entering the main entrance of the Xuande Building, it is the Daqing Palace, located on the west side of the Daqing Palace, it is the Wende Palace!

At this time, in front of the Wende Palace, there were already golden armor guards holding golden melons, as well as personal soldiers holding treasure tops and flags, and under the eaves, Huang Zhong Dalu and other musical instruments on the day of the palace examination reappeared, and there was a palace band standing next to it......

Xu Gang followed the dispatch of the officials of Honglu Temple, and together with the same year, he bowed down and stood outside the main hall and beside the royal road. And the ministers entered the temple.

It didn't take long for the sound of the mountain shouting long live in the hall, and then the yellow door shouted, and the music sounded, when the court leader Wen Yanbo came out of the hall, stood in front of the candidates, unfolded a delicate and noble gold brocade, cleared his throat and said: "Candidates listen to the announcement." ”

When the candidates heard this, they immediately hardened their ears, gathered their spirits, and looked at Wenxiang anxiously. I saw him holding a golden brocade and reading aloud: "When the sky is good, I will be ordered by Ziming...... The emperor's grace is vast, he is a scholar for the country, and his background is not asked. At the end of the third year of the Emperor's reign, the official family tested the world's scholars, and gave the first class jinshi and the third place, the second class jinshi was born fifty, and the third class was born ninety-seven! ”

The "System" that should have been read out by the officials of Honglu Temple was replaced by the ruling of the dynasty, which shows the importance that the Son of Heaven attaches to Enke this time.

After Wen Xiang read out the "System", he handed it over to the Honglu Temple officials beside him, and they called the name!

The official of Honglu Temple held the gold list, paused for a moment, and then broke the suffocating silence and said slowly: "First place, first place...... Xu Gang! ”

The golden armor guards on both sides then shouted in relay: "First first, first place, Xu Gang came to see ......"

It was sung three times, and for a while, the entire Wende Hall seemed to echo the same sentence.

"No, did the official family really choose me as the champion?" Xu Gang was suddenly stunned in place, and Shen Hao behind him hurriedly stabbed him quietly, and whispered, "Brother Zhengyuan, what are you doing?" Don't get in yet! ”

At this time, he hadn't even come back to his senses, and he was standing there stupidly! The officials in charge of guidance had already come to his side, looking at him and shaking his head, this kind of test that was suddenly stunned by happiness, this is not the first time he has seen it! He walked quickly to Xu Gang's side and reminded in a low voice: "Champion Lang, please follow the lower officials into the palace to thank you." ”

Xu Gang smiled dumbly, nodded his head, and then followed the guide officials into the hall, and sang with the celebrant in the light music like a gossamer, and shouted long live the mountain of three knocks and nine bows, and then was led to the left class to stand still, until this moment, he was still a little stunned!

At this time, the Honglu Temple official outside sang again: "First and second place, Shen Hao!" ”

Hearing that Shen Hao was dazzled, Xu Gang came back to his senses, and secretly swallowed and foamed: "I didn't expect that I would write such an article, and I would win the top ......"

Then, Xu Gang began to carefully look at the palace, but the layout here is quite simple, there are many big red pillars in the hall, a cursory glance, there are almost twenty or thirty! And directly on the stairs in front, next to the throne of the Son of Heaven, there are six pillars with gold skin, and each pillar is also engraved with a giant dragon, arching and guarding the throne of the Son of Heaven on the golden pedestal, so that the majesty of the Son of Heaven can radiate to every corner of the main hall.

"Hey, the Son of Heaven is actually looking at me, huh? Still looking at me! Oh, you don't blink!! After Xu Gang inadvertently made eye contact with the Son of Heaven, he saw that he was looking at himself with a smile, and he was still staring at himself until Shen Hao came in.

Xu Gang couldn't help but feel a chill, and when Shen Hao bowed and thanked him loudly, he quickly lowered his head, and then glanced at it, and then found that the eyes of the Son of Heaven finally turned to Shen Hao!

After Shen Hao finished saluting, he was led to the right class of the royal road to stand!

Then outside the hall sang: "First and third place, Zhang An!" ”

This roll call surprised Xu Gang and Shen Hao very much, and they invariably glanced at each other! It's a little incredible, because among so many candidates, only the three of them were summoned by Chen Shizhi alone, and now the first and third places are all covered by the three of them!

After Zhang An thanked him and was led to stand behind Xu Gang, a roll call voice came from outside: "Second and first place, Yang Yaochen!" ”

"Second place, second place, Liu Da."

……

The second-class and third-class jinshi are not introduced into the hall to go out of class, and they are only called once, but even so, after the Honglu Temple officials finished reading, they were also tired and out of breath.

When the roll call is over, the music is back! The ministers will salute the Son of Heaven again with the new science and technology jinshi! Then the Son of Heaven gave the "Big Gold List" and handed it over to the Ministry of Rites, so that it was posted outside the Donghua Gate and announced to the world for three days.

After the ceremony, the Yellow Gate shouted at the signal of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven left the hall in the sound of long live in the crowd! It's just that when he left, he glanced at Xu Gang again

"Uh, what do you mean by that? Why do you keep staring at me! When Xu Gang was thinking, an old man with a face like black charcoal was already standing in front of him, brushing his beard, looking at him quietly. (To be continued.) )
