Just as Gu Chengyu was looking at the ground and counting the ants, Shoufu Xia Qing came out of the Taihe Palace.

"All the tributes listen to the Xuan ......" This voice startled Gu Chengyu, and he hurriedly knelt down like the other tribute students, and raised his eyes to look at the officials standing on the steps, this is the result of the palace test. This person was Shoufu Xia Qing, who had once looked at him from afar.

All the Gongsheng pricked up their ears and listened carefully, waiting for their names to be reported later.

"The first place in the palace test, Gu Chengyu!"

Gu Chengyu was unaware of hearing his name, and he looked up at Xia Qing. I saw that his face was expressionless, and he didn't even look at Gu Chengyu, only at the officials in front of him.

Gu Chengyu didn't think that he would become the number one, but Xia Qing covered the sky with one hand in the court, and it was possible to pull him down. However, when he was in the palace examination in the past, after the emperor looked at his test papers, he had a little more confidence.

No matter what method Xia Qing uses, as long as the emperor orders him, then Xia Qing can't do it. Although Xia Qing's face couldn't see the expression at this time, he knew that Xia Qing was on fire in his heart.

Gu Chengyu got up and moved two steps to the right, and an official from the Ministry of Etiquette stepped forward and led Gu Chengyu towards the Taihe Palace.

Gu Chengyu walked forward unhurriedly, and he could still hear the second place shouted behind him, which turned out to be Fu Yanshan, and the third place was Min Feng. He was a little strange, Xia Qing didn't take advantage of his position to find a good ranking for Min Feng, and then he couldn't get second, right?

Could it be that Xia Qing deliberately put Min Feng in the third place in order to avoid suspicion? Or did the emperor deliberately put Min Feng in the third? These Gu Chengyu do not know.

Gu Chengyu thought a little absentmindedly, and suddenly found a bright yellow figure sitting on the dragon chair in front of him. He hurriedly lowered his head, stared at his toes, and stepped into the Taihe Palace. This is the place where the court is on weekdays, and Gu Chengyu stepped into the Taihe Hall for the first time, and his heart was still excited.

He didn't dare to look up, and then there were footsteps behind him one after another, and it seemed that the other nine tributes were coming.

When everyone came in, everyone lined up according to their ranking, and then knelt down together. Gu Chengyu is the champion, so naturally he will start to report his resume first.

In fact, Gu Chengyu was not very nervous at this time, and his voice was steady when he reported his resume, and he did not see the slightest panic. The emperor couldn't help but nodded, this son's heart is very calm, which can be of great use.

After that, Gong Sheng was so nervous that his voice was trembling, because he was ranked according to odd and even numbers, so behind Gu Chengyu was Min Feng. Min Feng looked at the thin figure of the young man in front of him, and his heart was mixed.

Originally, he didn't have much hope for the first place, but when the palace exam was taken that day, the emperor's attention to Gu Chengyu had already been noticed. But he didn't even put himself in second place, so how could this not make him angry?

In the past month, as Xia Qing's closed disciple, he has been personally taken by Xia Qing to tutor, which can be described as rapid progress. Fu Yanshan was not as knowledgeable as himself, but at this time, he even won the second place that originally belonged to him, and Min Feng was depressed in his heart.

After all, he couldn't do honor and disgrace without being surprised, and the smile on Min Feng's face was a little reluctant.

"Where is the champion Gu Chengyu?" The emperor looked at the ten tribute students kneeling below, and then set his eyes on Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu moved his knees to the right two steps and knelt in the center of the hall, "The minister is here!" ”

"Hmmm! Will you just say that you are only fourteen years old? But not crowned yet? "The emperor was a little pale, and he was also amiable when he asked Gu Chengyu.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is fourteen this year, and he has not yet been crowned, and the teacher said that when Weichen wins the Jinshi, he will hold a crowning ceremony for Weichen."

When the emperor heard Gu Chengyu talk about the teacher, his expression showed nostalgia. How could the emperor not know that Gu Chengyu's teacher was Liang Zhirui? Liang Zhirui is an old minister, and he is loyal to himself. He also regretted it after he was done, but if he wanted to use it again, there would be no place.

The position of the first assistant was given to Xia Qing, and Liang Zhirui returned to the court, letting him succumb to Xia Qing, and he was afraid that he was unwilling.

The emperor pondered for a moment, then came back to his senses and asked, "Can you take the table words?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the family teacher hasn't had time to take the table words yet." The teacher said that since you want to bow in advance, you have to take the table words. However, the crown ceremony will be a few days away, and the teacher has not mentioned the matter of the words.

The emperor nodded, "You will enter the court in the future, why don't I give you a table word!" Since there is a jade character in the name, let's call it Jinyu! ”

The name of Gu Chengyu was also because of Liang Zhirui, and he felt a little guilty about this old minister. Liang Zhirui has been an official in the court for decades, and has managed the cabinet for him for more than ten years.

Taking care of Gu Chengyu is also to take care of Liang Zhirui's face.

Gu Chengyu didn't expect the emperor to give him a watch, and he was a little flattered. Then he thought about it, he shouldn't be so valued by the emperor, maybe he still got the teacher's light.

As for whether the emperor knew that his teacher was Liang Zhirui, Gu Chengyu did not doubt it at all. I'm afraid that his resume has long been presented in front of the emperor's case, and even the three generations of his ancestors are clear.

Min Feng, who was behind Gu Chengyu, was a little short of breath at this time, he didn't expect Gu Chengyu to be so lucky. The words given by the emperor! Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who can have such an honor? How can he, Gu Chengyu, make the emperor look at him differently?

Not only did Min Feng think so in his heart, but even the officials and other tributes in the palace also felt that Gu Chengyu was really lucky. They wished that they had not performed the crown salute themselves, and then received the expression given by the emperor.

Even Fu Yanshan, who was focused on reading, moved the corners of his lips.

Gu Chengyu hurriedly thanked the emperor, "Weichen Xie Emperor gave the word, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Seeing Gu Chengyu so good, the emperor couldn't help but be more satisfied.

At this point, the remaining nine new science and technology scholars have become foils. The emperor gave them a few words of encouragement at the end, and asked a few words to Fu Yanshan, who was the second, before announcing the start of the ceremony.

Min Feng was so angry that his face turned pale, and he didn't know that he was affected by his teacher. Regarding the emperor's attitude of ignoring him, he was puzzled in his heart.

Gu Chengyu and the others went to the side hall and changed into their respective official uniforms. Gu Chengyu changed into a robe with a scarlet round neck, wearing a white silk middle single, brocade ribbon, and knee covering. There is also a pair of Huai Wat, a gauze hat, a light silver belt, a pair of medicinal jade pendants, and a pair of boots and felt socks.

After the change, I had to return to the front of the Taihe Palace, waiting for the ceremony to begin, and the civil and military officials also stood outside the Taihe Hall again.

At this time, Luan Yiwei, the music club and the sound department set up Dan Majesty Dale on both sides of the Taihe Gate, and the civil and military officials walked to the Danqi, all wearing court clothes, ranking according to their grades.
