Outside the magnificent Taiji Hall, the new branch jinshi was waiting at the door, waiting for the start of the ceremony.

Xu Mingyuan turned his head to look at Wen Hua, frowned slightly, and said, "If I were you, I would know how to avoid me, instead of stepping forward with a shy face and trying to provoke me." Others may not know, but you should know that Yuntai Division's knife is not less against the heads of princes and nobles. ”

Xu Mingyuan's voice was not loud, but it fell into Wenhua's ears word for word, and Wenhua, who was still a little proud, turned pale in an instant.

"The Ceremony Begins!" At this moment, a slender and slightly sharp voice sounded from the Taiji Hall, and all the beings at the door were all happy, and they couldn't help but stand up straight.

And Xu Mingyuan also withdrew his gaze and looked at the main hall, his right hand slowly clenched, and slowly released, thinking in his heart about what to do when he entered the main hall.

Wenhua really knew very well how terrible Yuntai Division was, so after Xu Mingyuan said that, he was indeed a little afraid, and subconsciously took a step to the side.

"Chuan Yi champion Xu Mingyuan entered the hall!" The voice sounded again, and everyone's eyes also fell on Xu Mingyuan's body.

Xu Mingyuan straightened his clothes, stepped on the smooth stone steps, and walked into the Taiji Hall.

The Taiji Hall is extremely wide, larger than the Hanyuan Palace, four gold and copper pillars stand on the four sides of the hall, and the two sides of the hall stand Huang Zi Gongqing, and any one of them is a member of the three grades or more.

A half-zhang high platform was erected on the innermost flat ground, and a gold-inlaid dragon chair was placed, and it was naturally Emperor Yan who was sitting. Feng Yuanyi, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, bowed slightly and stood aside, and there were two beautiful palace maids holding large fans and fanning them gently.

Standing in front of the hundred officials was a middle-aged official wearing a purple Dake Yaluo official robe, with a jade belt hook hanging from his waist, a square face, a somewhat dark complexion, and a long black beard under his chin, holding a list in his hand, which should be Yao Yuanzhi, the secretary of the Zhongshu Order and the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Although Dawan did not have the post of prime minister, it has become common knowledge that the chief officials of the three provinces regard him as the prime minister, and among them, the Zhongshu order has the heaviest authority.

After Zeng Fuzi resigned from the Zhongshu Order, he successively changed several Zhongshu Orders, and this Yao Yuanzhi was appointed as the Zhongshu Order twice, and he also served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, which can be called a civil and military all-rounder.

The ceremony was first recited by Yao Yuanzhi, and then passed out by the eunuch at the gate of the main hall, so it was called Chuanyu.

Xu Mingyuan walked into the main hall, and hundreds of officials in the hall also looked at him, all wanting to see what kind of person this new champion was.

Today's Xu Mingyuan is wearing a blue-purple robe, his hair is tied up with a white hosta, and his temperament is extraordinary, and his appearance is handsome.

"Student Xu Mingyuan, see Your Majesty." Xu Mingyuan bowed and said loudly. The palace examination was abboted by Emperor Yan, and the new science and technology scholars were all protégés of the Son of Heaven.

Emperor Yan nodded, and the Honglu Temple official on the side led Xu Mingyuan forward to stand in the middle of the front, signaling him to stand here and wait.

Xu Mingyuan stood straight, but lowered his eyes slightly, and did not look around, in order to show awe. As soon as he entered the door, he saw several acquaintances, and the criminal department secretary had an expression of wanting to eat him alive, which also made him a little helpless.

However, last time, the five hundred black cloud horses pushed the courtyard of the criminal department, but it made the criminal department lose face, and His Majesty had no substantive punishment at all except for saying a few words to the Yuntai Division, and Xu Mingyuan, the mastermind, was naturally hated by the secretary of the criminal department.

As for Zeng Lijing, the secretary of the ministry, he also recognized it, with an elegant appearance, a three-inch long beard under his chin, and he was a handsome scholar when he was young. It's just that he glanced at Xu Mingyuan and withdrew his gaze, it seemed that he either didn't know the relationship between Zeng Qingyi and Xu Mingyuan, or he wasn't satisfied with him at all.

Although the champion is rare, but the important marriage of the family is the word family, which is not comparable to the title of a champion, Dawan has been established for three hundred years, and there are more than 100 champions, and there are not many people who can really be in a high position and do more than three grades.

After Xu Mingyuan stood still, Yao Yuanzhi glanced at the list in his hand again, and said loudly: "The first list is Baimo Building." ”

The eunuch standing at the door of the main hall shouted in a voice: "Spread the first rank to enter the palace!" ”

When Bai Molou entered the hall, the hundred officials in the court paid more attention to it than when Xu Mingyuan entered the palace, after all, Xu Mingyuan did not know much about the affairs of the Yuntai Division, and many people thought that he was just a scholar from an ordinary family.

But Bai Molou is different, the Bai family has been guarding southern Xinjiang for generations, and while rejecting Tibet in the west, they are also wary of the southern Zhao north, which can be called the greatest contributor to the peace of the southwest of Dawan for three hundred years, and has a place among the top ten generals in Dawan.

However, the Bai family has produced fierce generals from generation to generation, just like Bai Zhexiu, who entered Chang'an during the Chinese New Year to report on his work, and had a fight with Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu.

Although he was defeated in the end, Chen Xuanli, who has rarely praised people, later said to His Majesty that the Bai family has this son, and when it is prosperous for another hundred years, Dawan will have this general, and the southwest will be worry-free for fifty years.

This is a very high evaluation, His Majesty was extremely happy to hear it, rewarded 5,000 taels of silver, and promoted Bai Zhexiu to the deputy general of Zhennan, becoming the most valued young man in the military.

And the two sons of the Bai family, Bai Molou did not practice martial arts but learned literature, and when he entered Chang'an, he first picked the six major academies, and another Huayi was famous in Chang'an, and he was sharp, and he wanted to be a Zhengchen, and now he has become the first and second leader, which naturally attracts much attention.

With the Bai family's qualifications in the Ministry of War, even if Bai Molou is a minister, if he wants to come to the Ministry of War, he will support him openly and secretly, and his career will naturally not be too difficult.

And Bai Molou does have his talents, although it is difficult to be a minister, but if he can get His Majesty's blue eyes, he will be more trusted than those who are attached, and he will naturally be promoted faster.

After Bai Molou saluted, he stood beside Xu Mingyuan and nodded slightly at him.

Then Yao Yuanzhi read out the names on the list one by one, passed them out from the eunuch at the door, and called the new science and technology scholars waiting outside the door one by one.

The glorious hall, full of Huang Zi Gongqing, and Emperor Yan sitting on the dragon chair, some scholars who have never seen much of the world, their legs are weak as soon as they enter the door, and even more so, they kowtow first when they enter the door, and they all want to laugh when they look at the expressions on the faces of the hundred officials.

But no one said anything, after all, after ten years of hard study, some people may spend all their time on reading, and the sophistication of people is really worse.

Even if these people have the background of Jinshi, unless they can hone it in the future, they are destined to be only a small official for the rest of their lives, and it will be difficult to improve. (To be continued.) )
