The title of the gold list is just a few names drawn by the marking officer, but it is the glory of the scholars' lives.

After Li Qinzai read the papers, he compared them with several other marking officials, and after confirming that they were correct, Li Qinzai picked up the pen and wrote the names of the top three on a piece of red paper, and then sent someone to the Taiji Palace together with their test papers.

According to folk sayings, the top three are called "champions", "bangyan" and "tanhua", but in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, when the imperial examination system was implemented, there was no such statement for the top three.

The first place is often referred to as "top of the list" or "head of the list", and although the title "Tanhua" also appeared in the Tang Dynasty, Tanhua did not originally refer to the third place.

After determining the ranking of the scientific examination, the palace held a banquet, and selected two young and handsome people among all the jinshi, and was elected by everyone as the "flower explorer", and the flower explorer was responsible for collecting the most beautiful flowers in the Huanglin Flower Garden, and personally put on the first place, so it was called "the flower explorer".

It was not until after the Song Dynasty that Tanhua became the fixed title of the third place in the scientific expedition.

During the Tang Dynasty, Tanhua was really just Tanhua, literally, and it was a temporary joking, unofficial.

There are a total of 62 scholars in today's Keming Calculation, and Li Qinzai clearly wrote their names and rankings on a piece of paper, and his expression was very solemn when he picked up the pen, as if he was holding the future of many people in his hands.

After finishing writing carefully, Li Qinzai put down his pen and breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart instantly unloaded the burden of a thousand jun.

It's finally over.

In this scientific expedition, Li Qinzai can pat his chest and say that he has achieved the most fair scientific expedition since its appearance.

Anyone questioned the result, and Lee Khun-jae had a clear conscience.

When the marking was completed and the names of all the test papers were unwrapped, Li Qinzai also clearly saw the names of Cui Ling, the two brothers of the Cui family.

As expected, they did not make the list and fell to Sun Shan.

Next, I am afraid that there will be some quibbles with my father-in-law, and at the beginning of the suggestion of the vague name system and cross-grading, Li Qinzai was just to put an end to human relations, even if the father-in-law was uncomfortable, he could help him.

After the list of Jinshi was sent to the Taiji Palace, Li Qinzai also got the list of Jinshi from the officials of the Ming Jing Section.

Interestingly, Li Qinzai saw a slightly familiar name on the list.

Wei Zhenzai had an argument with a certain gentleman of the Guozijian on Suzaku Street, and deeply doubted the impartiality of the imperial court.

Now that the dust has settled, Wei Zhenzai is ranked 48th on the list of Ming Jingke Jinshi.

After a few glances, Li Qinzai no longer cared.

This scientific expedition, after all, gave an explanation to the children of the poor family, and the political atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty will change from then on, and from now on, more children of the poor family will pour into the court and slowly grasp the right to speak in governing the world.

It's a good thing, when it's a big deal.

…………

The scientific examination is a major event of the country.

The list of Jinshi and the test papers were sent to the Taiji Palace, and Li Zhi attached great importance to it, so he retreated left and right, personally flipped through the test papers, and spot-checked the responses of the new Jinshi.

For a whole day, Li Zhi was in the waste of sleep and food to check, Li Qinzai countless times in front of him to emphasize the fairness of the scientific examination, only justice, there is authority, in order to win the heart of the world's scholars.

Li Zhi kept Li Qinzai's words in mind, and Li Zhi's attitude towards this scientific expedition was rare and serious, and he never let go of a trace of mistakes and omissions.

Li Zhi was busy with state affairs, and the Empress Wu in the harem was a little idle.

With the advent of Li Qinjae, history has undergone some deviations.

Originally, Li Zhi was ill and had to entrust state affairs to Empress Wu, which fueled Empress Wu's ambition to take power.

However, after Li Qinzai appeared, Li Zhi was much better according to the home remedies he provided, and the Son of Heaven was fine, of course, state affairs could not be entrusted to outsiders, nor could his own mother-in-law.

So Empress Wu has been a little idle in the past two years, it's not that she doesn't want to be motivated, it's that her husband doesn't give her a chance.

It is very taboo to forcibly interfere in political affairs. The dog man has already abolished his mother-in-law once, so can't he abolish it a second time?

Empress Wu is a very smart woman, she knows when she should enter and when she should retreat.

Li Zhi didn't call or ask, she didn't say anything, a smart and capable woman pretended to be well-behaved, and she knew how to capture a man's heart better than a woman in Qinglou.

At this time, Empress Wu was sitting in the Wangyun Pavilion of the harem, her pretty face was frosty, and she was listening to the report of the palace maid.

The personal palace maid is naturally the person trusted by the Empress Wu, but trust is only relative, and a person like the Empress Wu, who has experienced the cruel fighting of the harem, will never trust anyone too much, including her husband.

The palace maid stood in front of Empress Wu, obviously Empress Wu didn't say a word, but she still felt a chill lingering around her, and the wind gusted in her back.

"The two clan brothers of this palace, Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun, went to Beijing to report on their work?" Empress Wu asked with a frown.

The palace maid said tremblingly: "Yes, the two of them have been in Chang'an City for three days. ”

Empress Wu's expression became colder and colder: "After coming to Beijing for three days, they didn't enter the palace to meet them, what are their intentions?" ”

"The slave maid didn't know, but I only heard that after the two of them arrived in Chang'an, they drank and feasted on prostitutes all day long, drunk and dreamed of death, not only did they not go to the ministry to report on their work, but they also did not visit their colleagues and old friends."

Empress Wu gritted her teeth: "Two things that are not angry, the palace lifts them, but they can't support the wall!" ”

Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun are cousins of Empress Wu, and they are said to be cousins, but the grudges back then were not small.

Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang's brothers bullied Empress Wu's mother and sisters back then, and Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun, who were cousins, also bullied them.

In short, when the mother and daughter of the martial queen were down, the entire martial arts family, whether direct or sideline, did not give their mother and daughter a good life.

Later, Empress Wu was canonized as the queen, Empress Wu had resolutely refused the actions of Li Zhi Enyin's relatives, but there were rules in the court, and the relatives finally wanted Enyin to be crowned officials, and Empress Wu had to pinch her nose to give the four brothers officials.

The official is returned to the official, the Empress Wu has never given a good face to these four brothers, and has always ignored them, Li Qinzai beat Wu Yuanshuang so badly, and the Empress Wu did not come out to help his brother avenge, there are still some personal grievances in it.

Hearing that after Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun's two cousins entered Beijing, they even ignored the basic number of worship rites, and Empress Wu couldn't help but feel angry.

Thanks to me, you became officials, and that's how you treated me?

After taking a deep breath for a while, Empress Wu gradually calmed down and said coldly: "That's it, let them fend for themselves!" If there is a mistake in the officialdom in the future, don't come to the palace! ”

The words have been finished, but the palace maid has stood for a long time and did not go.

Wu Houqi said: "Anything else?" ”

The palace maid said in awe: "Yes, the slave maid didn't have time to say that last night the two went to the Korean lady's house for a banquet, and during the banquet, the two were drunk and said some nonsense, but the old lady was so angry that she cried for half the night. ”
