Wang Mang took the test paper and list presented by Deng Fang, and couldn't help laughing: "They are all celebrities!"

Dun Wang, Liang Ma, Zhi Wang, Shi Gao, Xiao Li, Qiao Zheng, Hu Tang, Bo Wang, Hao Cui, Ouyang.

There are ten names in a row on the list, except for Ouyang who is the last one, the other nine are all talented people who were famous in Chang'an City before, among which Wang Dun, Ma Liang, Wang Zhi, and Gao Shi's articles are even more splendid world, and under the connection, it is actually a vision of a saint in the square.

Wang Mang asked, "What is the origin of this Ouyang?"

Chu Feng was stunned, how could he know what Ouyang's origin was, but when the Son of Heaven asked, he couldn't help but answer, so he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know the origin of this person, but this person's article is gorgeous and self-contained, and after the ministers and others discussed, they set this person's article in the top ten, and wait for Your Majesty's holy judgment!"

"Who of you knows the origin of this Ouyang?" Wang Mang suddenly looked at Zhao Xin, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Zhao Xin, these people are all brought by your Ministry of Rites, don't you know the origin of this Ouyang?"

Zhao Xin finally raised his head, the wound on his forehead had healed, and a blood stain remained on Zhao Xin's forehead, which looked quite miserable, Wang Mang shook his head and said: "Deng Fang, clean up Lord Zhao, this honor is not the appearance that the Great Qin Rite Department should have!"

How dare Zhao Xin really let Deng Fang wait for him to clean up, and before Deng Fang came over, he shouted: "Father-in-law Deng doesn't need to come over, this official can clean it up by himself!"

As he spoke, Zhao Xin directly raised the cuffs, wiped them on his forehead with his sleeve, wiped all the blood stains on his forehead at once, and then wiped it with another cuff, and a dignified Daqin Rite Department Shangshu appeared in the court hall with a full face.

Zhao Xin put on his cuffs and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!"

Then he continued: "Ouyang, not in the list of scholars announced before, it was added later, more precisely, he entered Chang'an City three days ago. ”

"Then how did he get into the list this time?" Wang Mang glanced at Zhao Xin meaningfully.

Zhao Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Ouyang, twenty-four years old, the seventeenth grandson of Ou Zhizi!"

Although Zhao Xin only said Ouyang's age and ancestors, there were countless people in the court who gasped.

Ou Zhizi, a sword casting master thousands of years ago, such as five of the top ten famous swords today were cast by Ou Zhizi, that is really a figure that has been passed down through the ages.

Yuwen Kai, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, had been standing in the hall without speaking, but now, as soon as he heard Ouyang's origin, as one of the six Shangshu, Yuwen Kai shouted without any image: "Lord Zhao, are you sure that it is really the descendant of Mr. Ou Zhizi?"

"It's true!" Zhao Xin said in a deep voice: "At first, the official didn't believe it, but after detailed verification, he had to believe it!"

"Ou Zhizi is a native of Yueguo, and the Ou family has been living in Yueguo, many years ago, Wu Guo, with the support of Bailu Academy, destroyed Yueguo, and the Ou family scattered and flowed in various countries, if so, this Ouyang Hai may really be the descendant of Ou Zhizi. Chu Feng frowned on the side and said, "It's just that the Ou family was once a great nobleman of the Yue Kingdom after all, if my Great Qin accepted him rashly, would it cause the White Deer Academy to have other ideas." ”

"As long as Ouyang is loyal to Daqin, Bailu Academy, don't worry about him!" Wang Mang waved his hand, what Bailu Academy, he has already arrested a few people from Bailu Academy, and he has already fallen out with Bailu Academy, he is not afraid of itching if there are more lice, and he is really not afraid of offending Bailu Academy twice.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven had taken the matter over, Chu Feng naturally wouldn't say much, but he glared at Zhao Xin secretly, he really didn't expect Zhao Xin to send Ou Zhizi's descendants over, with Chu Feng's understanding of Zhao Xin, this Ouyang is nine times out of ten after Ou Zhizi, otherwise Zhao Xin would never rush to bring people.

Wang Mang read all the test papers at will, and finally his eyes stayed on Wang Dun and Wang Zhi's test papers, and after a long time, Wang Mang said: "Spread my will, and appoint Wang Dun, Wang Zhi, and Ma Liang as the first-class scholars of this year, Gao Shi, Ouyang and other twenty people as the second-class scholars, Sun Cun, Zhu Shan and other seventy people as the third-class scholars, and the rest of the people as the fourth-class scholars." ”

"Ministers and other leaders, congratulations to Your Majesty on your good talents, and the strength of Great Qin is thriving!" Zhao Xin and others kowtowed.

"Spread my will again, Wang Dun is the top of the first list, the champion, Wang Zhi is the second of the first list, the eye of the list, and Ma Liang is the third of the first list, and he is the first flower. Wang Mang said again.

The ministers were stunned, they had never heard the word "Zhuangyuan Bangyan Tanhua", and they didn't understand what it meant for a while, but what the Son of Heaven said, is it necessary to understand?

Then Chu Feng was the first to kowtow and said: "Your Majesty, the minister proposes that in the future, all the examiners, the top three will be called champions, Bangyan, and Tanhua, which will be set as the imperial court system and fixed." ”

Sycophants!

Zhao Xin and the others glared at Chu Feng angrily, and then followed the kowtow and asked Wang Mang to give the name of the champion list of Tanhua.

Wang Mang smiled, decisively accepted everyone's request for goodwill, and then said: "Everyone, announce the holy decree to the scholars waiting outside!"

"Yes. And they all prostrated again.

When he was talking here, Deng Fang had already arranged for the little eunuch to write the list and hand it to Li Lan, Li Lan cleaned up his appearance, walked out of the hall with the list, looked at the more than 200 scholars waiting outside, and said in high spirits: "Scholars, welcome the holy decree!"

"Students and others welcome His Majesty's holy decree, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" the scholars bowed.

Li Lan said: "Next, our family will read out the results of this examination, and those who hear their names please stand aside and wait for His Majesty to summon them. ”

Then Li Lan began to read the holy decree, starting from the last place in the fourth class, that is, the one hundred and seventy-fifth place in this examiner, and read it all the way to Wang Dun, the first champion of the first class.

The name of the champion list also appeared for the first time in the eyes of the Great Qin Shizi, and Wang Dunxi couldn't help but accept the congratulations around him, and then saw Wang Zhi's eyes staring at him coldly, his expression was closed, and he secretly woke up in his heart.

didn't read the name and left with Jinyiwei with a desperate face, there are several of them who have been on the list, this time they didn't even enter the end of the top four, and they collapsed directly on the ground and cried wolf, and those who were even more bold and not afraid of death directly called it unfair, for this, Deng Fang sneered, and directly let Jinyiwei slip away.

Li Lan and the other scholars stood in formation, gave up their positions, and handed them to Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin looked at the many scholars in front of him, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Follow this official into the palace to meet Your Majesty!"
