Chapter Forty-Six: It's Too Late

In the temple of nourishing the heart, the lights are bright.

The emperor who had returned from Rouge Lane sat on the dragon chair and burped, and when he caught a glimpse of the music on the table, his brows furrowed.

"Li Jinzhong, why are there so many folds on the table, didn't I just review this fold yesterday!!"

Li Jinzhong: "......"

You approved yesterday's recital, but these in front of you were just sent today!!

Looking at the tired emperor, the corners of Li Jinzhong's eyes twitched slightly, and then he showed a flattering smile, bowed and said: "The ministers in the court are not sensible, long live the lord, why do you have to be like them." ”

The emperor felt that his words were very pleasant, and nodded slightly: "Well, I didn't bother to pay attention to them, by the way, how is this year's big exam, but there are one or two geniuses like me?" ”

Li Jinzhong said with a smile: "These moves of Jinke, the essay collection is naturally not as good as Your Majesty, but there are a few people who can make a living and watch it, such as Luodian Prince Fu, Lingyang Zhu Erdan, as well as Ma Wenbin, Li Zijie, Zhang Xiu and others, the articles written are all barely eye-catching......"

"Zhang Xiu?"

The emperor's spirits perked up, and his eyes lit up and said, "What you said, but I am the younger brother of Concubine Ai?" ”

“……”

Li Jinzhong's face suddenly became strange.

Even King Liang knows Zhang Xiu's exploits in writing the "Book of Agriculture", Your Majesty, are you a little too concerned about the major affairs of the court!

After a period of silence, Li Jinzhong smiled reluctantly and said, "Your Majesty, do you want that Zhang Xiu to be the provincial yuan of Jinke?" ”

The emperor bowed his head with a smile on his face: "Since he is the younger brother of Concubine Ai, and he is talented all over the world, who am I going to order if I don't want him to be the provincial yuan?" It is said that the virtuous do not avoid relatives, and I should be the first in the world! ”

"Hurry up and prepare hot water, I want to bathe and change clothes, and tell my concubine about this happy event immediately!"

……

Time is like an arrow, and the blink of an eye has come to the day of the release.

Before the gold list, there were a sea of people, and the heads were sensational, some of them were the sons of the current department, and some were the rich and noble families in the capital, who specially came here to catch their sons-in-law.

It is said that on the day of the list, the rich gentry in the capital will go out with their whole families to choose Dengdi Shizi as their sons-in-law, or pull hard, or directly tie them with a rope, the scene is comparable to going to the cafeteria after school to grab food, and it is very lively.

Under the gold list, many of the scholars who had just shouted "I'm hit, I'm hit" didn't even have time to be happy, so they were squeezed forward by a group of people, gagged their mouths, and forcibly pulled out of the pile.

Xiao Ao Xue was mixed in the crowd, because of her petite physique, she was squeezed by the crowd, and she couldn't use her magic power to push them all, so she shouted anxiously: "Sister Guifei Niangniang!" Sister Guifei Niangniang! ”

Zhang Xiu grabbed her with a black line and asked, "What are you squeezing, even if you squeeze to the front, do you know how to read?" ”

Xiao Ao Xue came back to her senses suddenly, and the baby fat little round face was sluggish for a while: "Yes, I don't know how to read at all!" ”

Yan Feng smiled and pushed away the crowd leaning over, and said proudly: "I know how to read!" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded slightly: "But not much." ”

Yan Feng: "@#¥%¥#@......"

I'm here to help you see the gold list!!

What are you telling the truth here!

In Yan Feng's murderous expression, the people around him retreated one after another, and soon, Zhang Xiu and the three of them came to the top of the list.

Yan Feng looked at the next few lists from the back to the front, his expression became a little tangled, and comforted Zhang Xiu: "If you don't win, you won't win, it's a big deal, let's ...... next time."

Zhang Xiu smiled, glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Brother Yan, I think you are probably looking at people with your ass—you have eyes but no beads!" If you take a closer look, what is the name of the number one on the gold list? ”

Yan Feng was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and swept away, and saw that the first place on the list was actually called Zhang Xiu, and immediately gasped: "Hey, Brother Zhang!" The person with the same name and surname as you actually won the provincial yuan! ”

Zhang Xiu: "......"

After a period of messiness, Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, decided not to meet this reckless man, turned his face to look at everyone with a smile, and announced loudly: "I, Zhang, have passed the exam!" ”

When the words landed, a group of people hula came around, pushing each other, scrambling to ask: "Gongzi's surname, how many have you won!" ”

Zhang Xiu raised his face slightly, and said lightly: "Zhang Xiu in Xia Luzhou, the leader of the lucky high school!" ”

There was another hula, and the people around him scattered in an instant, and even the scholars who watched the gold list retreated far away, leaving a vacuum around Zhang Xiu.

“……”

The smile on Zhang Xiu's face froze instantly, glanced at the crowd hiding far away, and said angrily: "What about people, what about the people who catch their sons-in-law under the list!" I think you are deliberately embarrassing me! ”

When Zhang Xiu was filled with righteous indignation, in the crowd, two young men with handsome faces stared at Zhang Xiu, with very complicated expressions on their faces.

One of these two is a friend of the judge of the underworld, named Zhu Erdan, who was exchanged for a seven-trick exquisite heart by his friend Judge Lu, and told him that he must be high school in this imperial examination.

The other is named Wang Zifu, since marrying his wife Ying Ning, he has had a smooth journey, and he also learned the answer to this imperial examination in advance.

The two of them were determined to win the top spot in this provincial exam, but they didn't expect that Zhang Xiu would suddenly come out halfway and quietly grab the top spot, so their feelings were very complicated.

Compared with the two of them, the other group of people led by Zhao Ji seemed much calmer and calmer.

Zhao Ji took a few young people to Zhang Xiu's side, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Zhang for the high school leader, come to the palace test, Brother Zhang will definitely be in the top three, and the younger brother is here to celebrate you in advance!" ”

A young man with a black mole on his face also came to the front and saluted: "Luoyang Ma Wenbin, congratulations to Brother Zhang!" ”

Another young man with a bulging head also saluted and said, "Hangzhou Li Zijie, I've seen Brother Zhang!" ”

Zhang Xiu frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Ji, a little confused why he brought these strangers over.

Zhao Ji was afraid that Zhang Xiu would misunderstand, so he hurriedly got closer and explained in a low voice: "Ma Wenbin is the son of the official secretary, Li Zijie is the nephew of the prime minister, and the others are also the children of the official eunuchs, they know that I know you, and they specially asked me to come over and introduce you to them, I really can't shirk it......"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he showed a clear look, and then his eyes looked back and forth on several people, and a glimmer of light suddenly bloomed in his eyes.

"Brother Zhao, do you know what are the more suitable places for release near the capital?"

Zhao Ji: "@#¥%¥#@......"

Go to the nephew of the prime minister, the son of Shangshu, if you don't run, it's too late!!
