After the palace test, Su Tiancheng had his own ideas, he had some hunches, he was unlikely to become the first place in the top armor, that is, the so-called champion, his limelight was too strong, it was already a little outrageous, and it would inevitably attract attention from many aspects, people were too famous, it was not a good thing, people were afraid of being famous, pigs were afraid of being strong, and it has been like this throughout the ages.

Three days later, the so-called Chuan Gong Ceremony was held, that is, the ceremony where the emperor announced the ranking of the palace examination.

March 18, the fifth year of Chongzhen.

Su Tiancheng came outside the Forbidden City, and this time he didn't go in the middle of the night.

When I entered the Forbidden City, it was already early hour.

The ceremony was held in the Taihe Palace, which was the place where the imperial court held the ceremony, and the ceremony was actually an unusual ceremony for the imperial court.

All officials above the fifth grade in the capital must participate in the ceremony.

Of course, everyone could not go directly to the Taihe Palace, and they had to wait at the noon gate.

In front of the Taihe Palace, the music (band) arranged by the Ministry of Rites stood under the eaves outside the main hall of the Taihe Palace, and the musical instruments of the ceremony were placed on both sides of the Taihe Gate.

After all these things were placed, the officials of the Ministry of Rites led the ministers of the court and the tribute students who participated in the palace examination to the Taihe Palace.

The officials of the imperial court all wore court clothes.

Gongsheng was dressed in official clothes and wore a crown of three branches and nine leaves.

At this time, Gongsheng already knew his own fame, and when they followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites and went to the Taihe Palace, the champion was in the front, followed by Bangyan and Tanhua, followed by the second class Jinshi and the third class Tongjinshi.

Su Tiancheng came in second place, with Chen Yutai in front of him and Wu Weiye behind him.

When they arrived at the Taihe Palace, the officials were all arranged according to their ranks, and the officials above the second grade, including the cabinet ministers, the six Shangshu, and the imperial envoys of the Imperial Inspectorate, went to the top of the Dan Majesty, the so-called Dan Majesty, that is, the open space above the steps, outside the Taihe Palace, and the rest of the civil and military officials, including the tribute students who participated in the palace examination, were all in the Danqi, that is, the open space below the steps.

Gongsheng was behind the civil and military officials.

In the middle of His Majesty, the officials of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites have a desk covered with yellow silk cloth.

All this, Su Tiancheng saw it for the first time, he felt solemn, it turned out that the ceremony was so grand, it was worthy of the supreme glory of the world's scholars.

At three o'clock, the officials of the Ministry of Rites went to the Yangxin Hall and invited the emperor to the Taihe Palace.

At the end of the day, the emperor's Luan drove to the Taihe Palace.

Cao Huachun, the chief eunuch of the celebrant and the chief eunuch, stood on the left side of the Taihe Gate of the Taihe Palace.

"The emperor arrived, and the secretaries knelt down to ask for ......"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live......"

Su Tiancheng finally comprehended the great gift of three bows and nine bows, and with the slogan of the officials of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites, he knelt down with the officials in front of him, kowtowed three heads, stood up, then knelt down, kowtowed three heads, stood up again, knelt down again, and kowtowed three heads. Every time you kowtow, you need to be real, and your head needs to touch the ground.

"The Qing's family is ......"

With the beginning of the ritual of three kneeling and nine bowing, the ceremony of passing on the prostration has officially begun.

After everyone calmed down, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and the crown prince Taibao, walked in front of the yellow list with a solemn expression, and put the yellow list on the case with a solemn expression.

The second assistant of the cabinet, the scholar of the East Pavilion University, and the prince Shao Zhu Tiren, holding Huang Juan, began to announce the "system".

"On March 18 of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the emperor tried to pay tribute to the world, the first class was given to the Jinshi and the first, the second class was given to the Jinshi origin, and the third class was given to the same Jinshi origin."

Su Tiancheng blinked, he thought that the emperor was about to speak, and he must have personally announced the list of top three personnel.

It's a pity that he thought wrong, Wen Tiren announced the end of "System", stood next to him, Zhou Yanru, who had been next to the yellow case, carefully picked up the yellow list and slowly opened it.

"Chen Yutai, Gongsheng of Wuxi County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, hand-picked the first first, and gave the first and first."

"Chen Yutai, Gongsheng of Wuxi County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, hand-picked the first first, and gave the first and first."

"Chen Yutai, Gongsheng of Wuxi County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, hand-picked the first first, and gave the first and first."

Zhou Yanru read it three times in one breath.

The officials of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites led Chen Yutai to the middle of the imperial road, and knelt down on the left in front of the imperial road.

"Su Tiancheng, a member of Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi, was appointed to the first and second place, and was given the Jinshi and the first."

"Su Tiancheng, a member of Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi, was appointed to the first and second place, and was given the Jinshi and the first."

"Su Tiancheng, a member of Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi, was appointed to the first and second place, and was given the Jinshi and the first."

Su Tiancheng followed the officials of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites with some machinery, walked out of the line, walked to the right head of the imperial road, and knelt down in the place behind Chen Yutai.

"Wu Weiye, a Gongsheng of Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, hand-picked the first and third places, and gave Jinshi and the first."

"Wu Weiye, a Gongsheng of Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, hand-picked the first and third places, and gave Jinshi and the first."

"Wu Weiye, a Gongsheng of Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, hand-picked the first and third places, and gave Jinshi and the first."

Wu Weiye knelt down behind Chen Yutai, he didn't forget, he glanced at Su Tiancheng, but he didn't look at Chen Yutai in front.

Next, Zhou Yanru began to read out the list of second-class jinshi, including the list of third-class jinshi, and only read it once this time.

The second-class jinshi and the third-class fellow jinshi knelt down on the spot after their names were read.

Su Tiancheng, who was kneeling on the ground, had already reacted, he was a little unconvinced, why, he was the leader, the kneeling time was so long, the top three Tongjinshi was the most comfortable, and the kneeling time was the shortest.

Half an hour passed, and Zhou Yanru finally finished reading the yellow list.

Soon, the officials of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites chanted music, and His Majesty began to play the "Chapter of Qingping".

When Su Tiancheng was about to enjoy the music, he ushered in another three bows and nine knocks, this time it was the champion Chen Yutai, with all the top three jinshi, to thank the emperor.

At this time, the ceremony was finally coming to an end.

The official of the Ministry of Rites walked in front of Zhou Yanru, and after saluting, he picked up the yellow list with both hands and put it in the cloud disk, and then, under the guidance of the officials of Honglu Temple, he walked behind the yellow umbrella.

You must know that this yellow umbrella is the symbol of the emperor.

At this time, the emperor in the Taihe Hall left the palace, and everyone bowed down to see the emperor leave.

Luan Yiwei held a yellow umbrella and walked in the front, and the official of the Ministry of Rites, holding a cloud disk, followed closely behind, followed by the hand-picked first, second and third first, and the rest of the ministers followed behind.

The route taken this time was something Su Tiancheng didn't expect, and the yellow umbrella walked out of the Taihe Gate and headed towards the main gate of the Noon Gate.

The main gate of the noon gate, not to mention the princes and ministers, is the queen's mother, and it is also the time of the wedding, which can only be given once, and the rest of the time, the main gate is closed, and only the emperor can go.

When he walked out of the main gate of the noon gate, Su Tiancheng found that the rest of the ministers still walked through the doors on both sides of the noon gate, that is to say, only the top three jinshi could walk through the main gate of the noon gate.

The yellow umbrella left the Forbidden City and headed towards the East Chang'an Gate, where all the yellow lists were hung, and after three days, they were put away and sent to the cabinet for storage.

This process is the most glorious time for the top three jinshi.

Outside the Chang'an Gate, it has long been crowded with people watching the excitement, bustling, everyone is appreciating the top three Jinshi, especially the three people who are walking in the front, these three people are the champions, the eyes of the list and the flowers.

Chen Yutai is older, Su Tiancheng and Wu Weiye are all very young, one is nineteen years old, the other is twenty-three years old, and they are all good-looking, and they soon became the focus of everyone's discussion.

After Zhang hangs the yellow list, it is a cross-horse parade street.

There is also a difference in this, only the three people in the first armor can be ridden on horseback, and the rest of the second-class jinshi and the third-class jinshi follow behind, ride on a horse, and turn around on East Chang'an Street, which is indeed eye-catching.

Su Tiancheng is familiar with it and gets on the horse himself.

The horses selected by the Ministry of Rites are all royal horses, that is, Arabian horses, with docile personalities, tall and tall people, walking slowly and logically, as if they are stepping on dance steps, and riding such horses is indeed a pleasure.

The grand occasion of riding a horse on the street exceeded Su Tiancheng's expectations, and there were a lot of girls on East Chang'an Street, who seemed to be all beautiful girls, and they were by no means ordinary girls.

A lot of girls have veils on their heads.

Not long after, Su Tiancheng realized that in the process of the top three Jinshi crossing the street, many large families chose their sons-in-law at this time. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was even more excessive, and someone directly grabbed the son-in-law, after coming out of the noon gate, looking at the flat sheet and hanging the yellow list, when crossing the horse on East Chang'an Street, some official eunuchs, as well as large households, regardless of 3721, first grab the person and then say, the house has long been ready, grab the person, go home and immediately worship the church to get married, the raw rice is made into cooked rice, and it doesn't matter whether you have already made a marriage.

Hearing such rumors, a cold sweat broke out on Su Tiancheng's head, he has not yet married, and he has not even been married, if he is really robbed by others, raw rice is cooked for cooking, then he has to admit it obediently, these girls from official eunuchs and big families are very small-minded, if you don't want to, regret the marriage, maybe you will give away someone's life.

It's finally time to return to the inn.

Su Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, he finally really saw the Chuan Yu Ceremony.

However, the most important thing is that two days later, the emperor gave a grace banquet in the Ministry of Rites, which is commonly known as the Qionglin banquet. Before the Grace Banquet, the champion should lead all the top three Jinshi to the Taihe Hall to thank the emperor and offer musical words, that is, articles that sing praises to virtue.
