Early in the morning of May 18, as when participating in the palace examination before, all the tributes gathered outside the palace again, but this time they did not need to enter the palace gate, but came to the left gate of Chang'an to wait for the release of the list.

The "Ming Huidian" records in detail the process of releasing the list after Yongle.

“…… Giving the official banquet of the reading volume. After the banquet, he still gave money to retire to the East Pavilion, dismantled the second and third class test papers and sent them to the cabinet one by one, and filled in the yellow list. Tomorrow, the officials who read the papers will be in the palace, and the cabinet officials will open the three volumes and fill in the list. After the completion of the royal palace of heaven, the yellow list was hung outside the left gate of Chang'an. Shuntianfu official umbrella cover instrument from sending the champion to the ......"

It can be seen from this that it is in line with the rules for the emperor to approve the first three volumes, but the matter should be decided on the day of the release of the list, not like Yang Tinghe who brought the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Scholar to the Qianqing Palace for instructions one day in advance.

This is also the main reason why Zhu Si is angry.

I summoned you in the Qianqing Palace, it was a favor to you, but you took the initiative to come to ask for it, it can only mean that you are unruly and are embarrassing me.

Zhu is not very old in four years, but he values rules and physique more than anything else, especially when he is opposed to Yang Tinghe, he wants to pay attention to the decency of a monarch and minister.

There is no defect in the number of gifts on the day of the release.

Zhu Si received the minister in the Fengtian Hall as usual, and the Ministry of Rites submitted the filled yellow list, and the emperor had filled in the names of the first three people on the imperial list early this morning, and the eunuch Zhang Zuo covered the jade seal with the seal of the celebrant supervisor, which was equivalent to setting all the rankings.

The court discussion went on as usual, while the yellow list hung outside the left gate of Chang'an, on the south side of the palace.

……

By the time the list was published, it was already three poles in the day.

A set of processes went down, the time was delayed, and all the candidates had been standing under the sun for more than an hour, and when they saw Zhang Bangren come out, everyone was excited.

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple came out, they first hung the gold list, which was different from the yellow paper usually used, the material was yellow cloth, and there were wooden shafts up and down, so that as long as the top was a little bit above, the list could be hung, and the wooden shaft of the list was opened, and everyone held their breath and waited for the final results to be released.

Candidates are not required to check in person.

There will be a herald official of Honglu Temple who will come out, holding a miniature version of the "Golden List" in his hand, which is an edict made by the Hanlin Academy, and then the drum will sound, creating a grand and solemn feeling for the people present.

But listen to the loud voice of the preacher officer.

“…… It is said that on May 15 of the year of Zhengde Xin, he tried to test the tributes of the world. The first class is given to the Jinshi and the first, the second is given to the Jinshi origin, and the third is given to the same Jinshi origin......"

That's an opening statement.

It is equivalent to telling the candidates present the general rules, although this rule is known to anyone who reads the world, but it is still necessary to emphasize it.

Different from the first five places to be read after the examination, when the palace examination is issued, it will directly start to report with the first place in the first class.

“…… First place ......"

Everyone was emotional, although they were all Jinshi, but the first, second, and third grades were from different backgrounds, and in the first class, the treatment of the champion was different from that of Bangyan and Tanhua.

The champion started from the revision of the six-grade Hanlin Academy, and the Bangyan and Tanhua were edited by the seven-grade Hanlin Academy, and the first class could directly enter the Hanlin Academy.

The second class Ci Jinshi was born in the seventh grade, and the official quality is the same as Bangyan and Tanhua, but most of them are put in the six departments to view politics.

The third class is the same as the Jinshi who was born in the eighth grade, and the same as the second class can be admitted to the Jishi, which is also the only channel for the second and third class Jinshi to enter the Hanlin Academy.

Admitted to the Hanlin Academy to stay for three years and then take the exam, three years of the examination, the original second-class jinshi can be awarded the editor, the original third-class jinshi is awarded the review, it is a "stay in the museum", and if the examination is not passed, it will be sent out to the six departments as the main thing or to the local official.

Everyone aspires to obtain the glory of the first-class jinshi, which is related to the greatest achievement of scholars, and also paves the way for future officials.

"Huguang'an Luzhou, Zhu Hao!"

The roll call was reported three times in a row.

Zhu Hao took a step out from where he was standing, and then went straight to the front on the left to stand.

"Second place in the first class, Gu'an County, Yang Weicong."

Sing the name three times the same time.

Yang Weicong's eyes were almost murderous, and he stared at Zhu Hao deadly, but he could only honestly walk to Zhu Hao's side, standing on the right, side by side with Zhu Hao.

After standing still, he continued to glare at Zhu Hao with angry eyes.

The two have long had a grudge, Zhu Hao, as the test solution of Huguang Township, won two yuan in the meeting examination and the palace examination, so that his fame quickly overshadowed Yang Weicong, and even more Zhu Hao was just a young man, which made Yang Weicong even more indignant.

"First and third place, Leadshan County, Jiangxi, Fei Maozhong."

The third person came out, this person is older than Yang Weicong, and he has nothing to do with Zhu Hao before, after all, he is the nephew of the old family of the pavilion, plus Fei Hong was recently recalled by the emperor to enter the cabinet, so Fei Maozhong has a unique protective talisman among the three people in the first class.

……

The first report is over.

Next up are the second and third grades.

The second class roll call twice, to the third class when the roll call once, there is a row of relatively low to hear clearly, there will be Honglu Temple officials standing at the back of the venue and repeat again.

After everyone stood in order, the lecture officially ended.

The representative of the Hanlin Academy walked over a few people, and the first person was Yang Shen, who had been in contact with Zhu Hao before, Yang Shen first went to salute the officials of Honglu Temple, and then came to Zhu Hao and Yang Weicong.

When he saw the standing order of Zhu Hao and Yang Weicong, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Obviously, Yang Shen is unwilling to be admitted to the list by his friend Yang Weicong, and even he is disgraced at this time.

"Champion Gong, please."

At this time, an official from Shuntian Mansion came over and prepared an umbrella cover for Zhu Hao, preparing to send Zhu Hao back to the inn.

"Wait."

Yang Shen stretched out his hand to interrupt the officials of Shuntian Mansion, came to Zhu Hao, and said loudly: "It is necessary to explain to you about the process in the past few days...... As the leader of the first class of the new department, you will take the lead in participating in the grace banquet and thanking you above, can you understand the process? ”

Zhu Hao smiled and nodded.

Yang Shen saw the smile on Zhu Hao's face, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

is also the champion, because Yang Shen has been idle for a long time before, and he has just returned to the Hanlin Academy after the new emperor ascended the throne, although he is a lecturer of the Jingyan, and he usually exercises the power of reading and speaking, but in terms of official character, he is no different from a new champion, and they are all edited by the Hanlin Academy.

In other words, as soon as Zhu Hao entered the Hanlin Academy, he was on an equal footing with him, the old fritter of the Hanlin Academy, and there was no friendship with Zhu Hao, so he might become an opponent in the future, which was far more uncomfortable than letting his friend Yang Weicong be the editor.

"Gone!"

Yang Shen turned around and walked back, without saying hello to Yang Weicong.

Then firecrackers rang out.

At the end of the preaching, most of the people present were happy, and the imperial examination career is finally over today!

There are also those who feel that their palace test performance is abnormal, especially those who have the strength to pass the first or second class but unfortunately fail to make the list, it is difficult to hide their loneliness, and some people also want to look at their names and rankings before the gold list, for fear of making a mistake, after all, it is still possible to make mistakes, and in the end, the list of the emperor shall prevail.

But that's just an inner reluctance.

……

……

Zhu Hao's title on the gold list, high school champion.

Zhu Hao knew in advance, he didn't make any preparations, but Jiang Lun was so lively, and Zhu Hao was his son's husband, so he privately agreed with Tang Yin that day to find people to create a scene on Zhu Hao's way back.

"The champion returns home......"

As soon as Zhu Hao left East Chang'an Street and arrived at Chongwenmenli Street, a large number of people who were hired to build momentum appeared one after another.

In addition, Zhu Hao has the officials of Shuntianfu and the yacha to accompany him, and he hugged him before and after, although he did not wear the imperial court clothes, crown belts, etc., but this commotion, everyone knew that the young man who crossed the street was the champion of this palace examination.

All of a sudden, the enthusiasm of the onlookers was ignited.

In these years, it is not easy to see a celebrity, and Zhu Hao is the champion of the new department, and he is not very old, many people want to come over to join in the fun, and have a happy and literary atmosphere.

The more feudal and ignorant the era, the more superstitious people there are, and the more invisible aura Zhu Hao has.

When he swaggered through the market, he heard the people around him talking about him, and Zhu Hao didn't know that he was so "famous"?

"I heard that it is the champion from Shuntianfu."

"Nonsense, it's obviously Huizhou, is it good?"

"Don't argue, I don't know if you're still shouting, it's obviously the champion of Shudi, and you're a fellow villager with Yang Ge of the current dynasty, look at the appearance of none of you."

Anyway, no one knows who Zhu Hao is, many people don't even know the words, and they can't play with reading at home.

Real readers don't like to come and join in the fun.

Zhu Hao continued to walk forward in this kind of gossip regional controversy, and he didn't like the feeling of being pointed at on his way home.

All the way to the outside of the inn.

Jiang Lun had already arranged a firecracker battle, which was bigger than the scene of Huiyuan in the examination, attracting a large number of people to come and watch.

Jiang Lun and Tang Yin were standing in the inn, and were about to go out to greet each other, when Zhu Hao waved his hand and asked them to go back.

When Zhu Hao entered the inn, Sun Ru brought some literati from his fellow villagers to come over to congratulate, but he also stopped him.

"Give me a reward...... Let's talk upstairs. ”

Zhu Hao said a word to San, and turned to Tang Yin and Jiang Lun.

Jiang Lun was puzzled: "Mr. Zhu, you're not right...... How can you get such a score after winning the exam? ”

Tang Yin naturally knew why Zhu Hao looked cold, he had tried every means to get rid of his relationship with Xingwangfu before, and finally got the position of the champion, but now the people of Xingwangfu are arranging celebrations, isn't it not self-defeating?

Tang Yin pulled Jiang Lun upstairs and waited.

When Zhu Hao came up, there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him.

Especially when many people heard that Zhu Hao was born in Anlu Prefecture, and he also had the background of a thousand families in Jinyiwei, of course they wanted to talk about it.

After the three of them sat down, Zhu Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Tang, you don't know what's at stake, right?" ”

Tang Yin smiled freely: "What if you know?" Winning the exam, such a festive thing, Meng Zai wants to arrange it for you, can I still go back? ”

Jiang Lun asked puzzledly, "What are you talking about?" ”

Tang Yin told Jiang Lun about the joint.

Jiang Lun slapped his thigh: "I said it earlier, I just want to make a name for the little champion...... In this way, I really shouldn't show my face, don't be surprised...... This is all my own idea, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Tang. ”
