Zhu Jianshen, the emperor of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, sat on the throne of the Wenhua Hall with an expressionless face and meticulously, his posture was as standard as if he had been trained thousands of times, and the round middle-aged man's face also showed a bit of solemnity.

It's just that this lazy and sloppy eyes are a little incongruous, and he carefully betrays the heart of the Son of Heaven. The eyes were rolling boredly, and they glanced aimlessly at the ministers in front of them, without focus.

In addition to the court meeting and some big gifts in this generation, the ministers basically can't see the Son of Heaven, as the so-called "the sky is high and the curtain is far away, and the monarch is thousands of miles". On this occasion to determine the final ranking of the palace examination, I can see the Son of Heaven, but unfortunately I still go through the formalities, and I can't say a few words between the monarch and the minister.

Listening to the 10,000 supplementary reading volumes, Zhu Jianshen resisted the urge to yawn, they are all subjects of the Zhu family, who is the champion is different? It is more interesting to end this tedious ceremony early, or to go back to the inner palace to play ball, paint, or watch a play.

Wan Shoufu finished reading the first paper and stepped back, and it was Liu Jue's turn to step forward to read the paper, and after reading the three test papers, the passing scene was over.

Liu Jue Liu Ge was always the official teacher of the Son of Heaven when he was a child, and Zhu Jianshen had to be a little more serious, nodded at Liu Jue, and called "Mr. Dong Liu".

Liu Jue worshipped the Son of Heaven, but did not take one of the ten test papers of the Imperial Treasure Case to recite it. Instead, he turned around and went to the other two or three hundred test papers next to him, and took out the top one, which was the eleventh place that was originally scheduled.

The rest of the paper readers frowned, which was unreasonable.

The ten test papers on the Imperial Treasure case are the top ten collectively scheduled by the paper readers. After it is presented to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven points out the Sanding Jia, which is the default boundary line between the minister and the Son of Heaven.

Of course, there are also more serious Son of Heaven who are not satisfied with the top ten, and have to find the best one from the remaining test papers, but this is only the exclusive privilege of the Son of Heaven. Others don't have it!

At present, this Liu Jue and Liu Ge Lao jumped out of the top ten predetermined by everyone without authorization, and recommended the test papers, which is equivalent to overturning everyone's previous consensus! What does he want to do? Is it because he wants to rely on Jun's grace and forcibly and arbitrarily designate the champion?

Everyone remembered that the scheduled eleventh place test paper taken out by Liu Jue should be from Zhang Tianrui in his same province, because Liu Ji and Liu Mian, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, strongly supported Huiyuan Fang Yingwu, so Zhang Tianrui was squeezed to the eleventh place.

The so-called willing to gamble and lose, if you lose, you lose! But Liu Shuwen came to the palace because he was not convinced, and he was obviously pampered and arrogant, which was too bad for the rules. If it's like this, then what does the cabinet have to do? What else do you need the ministry to do?

In fact, having said that, how can Liu Jue and Liu Ge not understand the rules? It's just that it's hard to talk about suffering, and extraordinary things have to be done in extraordinary ways. If he didn't be ruthless, wouldn't he watch Liu Mian hold Fang Yingwu to be the champion? So who will be the second in the cabinet at that time?

Ignore the surprised gazes of others. Liu Yu casually unfolded the test paper and read it aloud. He was a lecturer. The voice is loud and upright. I read two or three thousand words of arguments in one go.

Without waiting for Liu Jue to step back, some people immediately expressed objections. A minister came out of the squad and said to the Son of Heaven: "Liu Jue is cunning, capricious, and his behavior is despicable, so he should be expelled from the palace test!" ”

Another person came out to impeach: "Liu Jue protects his personal relatives." Ignoring justice, not following the right path, and holding the king's grace and self-respect, his sin is unforgivable! ”

Of course, Liu Jue defended himself: "The old man is virtuous for the country. In all conscience! This volume is indeed excellent, why not say it? Someone else helped the fist and said: "The rankings are all in the holy judgment, and my generation only recommends the virtuous and virtuous, so why should the princes take the lead!" ”

Looking at the noisy hall in the porridge, the otaku Tianzi, who has always hated troublesome things the most, was disgusted, and couldn't help frowning. It's really non-stop, the ball is going to be kicked to him again. But my teacher has caused problems again and again, and I'm really a little ignorant.

The military attache of the Imperial Jinyi Guard shouted angrily: "There is a holy message: continue to read the volume!" ”

Outside the left gate of Chang'an, Fang Yingwu still had a quarrel with Zhang Tianrui without a word.

After the afternoon, a team of Jinyi Guard officials poured out from the city gate, and several small officials in the palace were clustered in the middle, and people with knowledge shouted: "The gold list is here!" ”

All the candidates stopped talking or quarreling together, and went to watch together, and other idle people passing by also gathered to watch the excitement.

In fact, this is not an official list, and the official gold list will not be announced to the world until after the passing ceremony. Today, I just told the candidates the rankings in advance, so that the candidates could know in their hearts and prepare for the Golden Palace. Especially the champion, if you want to thank the candidates on behalf of the candidates, you must prepare in advance.

The petty official of the imperial house glanced at it, coughed, and began to read the ranking with the post in his hand, "First place, first place, Zhang Tianrui, Qingping County, Shandong!" ”

There was an uproar, and the first place was the champion! The result is actually different from the rumors, isn't this Tianrui said to have not even entered the top ten, how did he become the champion?

Could it be that the second assistant Liu Jue has hands and eyes all over the sky, and can suppress everyone else with one force, and elevate Zhang Tianrui to the top position?

Fang Yingwu's heart was wide, although he didn't know what had happened, but this hot potato didn't fall on his head, otherwise he would be really in an embarrassing situation.

But at the same time, he felt a little lost, that was the champion of the world, and he just floated past his hand

The petty official of the imperial house continued to read: "The first and second place, Wang Hua, Yuyao County, Zhejiang!" First and third place, Huang Xun, Yuyao County, Zhejiang! ”

This is the list of eyes and tanhua, everyone was surprised, the previous popular candidate Fang Yingwu didn't even enter the top three!

Fang Yingwu also secretly thought that history has changed again, this Wang Hua should have been the champion, but he became the second on the list, and Huang Xun, the original on the list, became the third Tanhua.

Immediately, Fang Yingwu remembered himself again, how many places is his own family? Is Liu Mian reliable? This old man, don't drop the chain at a critical moment and pit himself to the bottom three? Compared with the first and second and third grades, the future and treatment can be very different!

After reading the first and third ranks, the petty official of the imperial house stopped, continued to announce the ranking, and began to read the second class list. But until the seventh in the second grade, there was no name of Fang Yingwu, that is, Fang Yingwu was not in the top ten of the total ranking at all.

Now even Fang Yingwu became nervous, why is this situation completely out of control? Then I heard: "Second and eighth place, Fang Yingwu, Chun'an County, Zhejiang!" ”

Fang Yingwu let out a sigh of relief, fortunately, this ranking is still in the top of the second grade, which is enough!

But his friend Xiang Chengxian suddenly jumped out with righteous indignation, raised his arms and shouted: "Those who are clear will clear themselves!" The first of the rumors became the eleventh. The person who should have been the eleventh and couldn't even enter the top ten became the first inexplicably!

I don't know which villains made waves of rumors at the beginning, and I don't know how today's champion was judged in a daze! (To be continued......)

PS: How can you break the state at all, hey, finish the exam as soon as possible, and let the protagonist open a new copy as an official! You might be able to feel the difference in the environment.
