Are you the first in the second class? This is indeed the ranking that Zhou Bai wants.

Further up is the first class, not to mention that the first three people want to enter the heavenly court as officials immediately, it is said that their own luck savings are still very insufficient.

On the eve of being reborn and returning to the county exam, not only did he not have his destiny at that time, but he didn't even have the luck of being a child in the exam.

And in just over a year, Zhou Bai has broken through all the way from the county test, Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Gongshi, and even today's Jinshi.

The stride is too big, if it weren't for the Heavenly Book of Qi Luck that could help him plunder the opportunity of Qi Luck, it would definitely be difficult to get to the end.

After all, Zhou Bai is competing with 30,000 people, and I don't know how many noble sons are from wealthy families, and they are born with the blessing of their ancestors and the blessing of family luck.

The family has a blessed land to accumulate luck, not to mention it for the time being, the youth luck of any sister-in-law is proud of a state.

Even if he is only born in the county, he has lived in the yellow house for a long time and grew up, so he can ensure that there is no lack of inspiration, his thoughts are smooth, and his reading is twice the result with half the effort.

The first class is from Wuzhou, Jiangnan, and is the son of a thousand-year-old family who has survived the three dynasties.

When he was born, it was rumored that he was accompanied by a vision, which was a kind of physique born with Dao bones, and several top sects in Jiangnan visited him later, which also confirmed part of the authenticity of the rumors.

However, the Xie family insisted on letting Xie Feichen take the right path of the imperial examination, and received the strictest family training since he was a child.

The family county looks out of the prince? No, it's just the prejudice of the world.

Even if there were, it would be the last days of the family's decay.

In fact, because of the educational environment, the sons of the family often work harder than the scholars of the poor family.

And people with talent, hard work, and family background, how can they stand out from everyone.

Since childhood, Xie Feichen's talent has been named Jiangnan, and when he grows up, he has been born from time to time, and he has achieved a lot of achievements.

Yu Yuan, the second in the first class, and Liu Guangdi, the third in the first class, are all like this, with talents, talents, family backgrounds, and hard work, and they have everything.

Zhou Bai looked at the others on the gold list, the second in the second Dongtai Luan, and the third in the second Jinghu Bu Xiuran......

In this way, the gold content of the first class of his second class is really not weak, and it is all up to him to have any civility in the north.

Well, there's also the Book of Luck.

But Zhou Bai always felt that it was too much of a coincidence, Chiqing came to test his idea the day before the palace exam, and then the next day he won the first place in the second class in the palace exam.

In addition, the heavenly official who presided over the palace test was under the seat of the Red Emperor, which had to make him feel a little associated.

Maybe he can enter the first class, or maybe he can only keep the fourth position in the second class, in short, the Red Emperor should have moved his hands and feet.

The first in the second class, born as a jinshi, this is Zhou Bai's most suitable ranking at present.

If you don't go to the sky, he is the best in the world!!

Compared with the first and second grades on the gold list, there has not been much change in the first and second grades, and Zhou Bai's move forward by three places is already the biggest change.

He has now returned to his senses, and this temple is not a test of luck, nor is it a test of literary talent, but a test of the courage of the heavens.

The new science and technology scholars will inevitably be scattered all over Daxu, and they are the mainstay who can best implement the orders of the heavenly court.

If these people don't have the courage to fight against enemies from the other world, then they are not qualified to become Jinshi celestials.

Of course, these people in the previous section are either experienced and tenacious like Zhou Bai, or they have been strictly cultivated by the family since childhood, and there is no shortage of various exercises, and they are naturally not bad at courage against the enemy.

In the future, the war between the two realms will not only be outside the sky, not only in the thirty-three days, but also the mortal world will also be the main invasion battlefield.

Judging from the various protective heavenly rules in the mortal world, the degree of importance that the heavenly court attaches to the mortal world is no less than thirty-three days.

In most of the world's cultivation systems, mortals are an important foundation.

There is no change in the front section of the second grade, but many of them have been brushed down to the top three in the back section, and their temperament is completely unsatisfactory in Nu Pan's opinion.

In the future, the Qingxu Realm will invade the mortal world, and it will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility, but will discredit the heavenly court.

Si Jie, Pang Lesheng, and Shi Xiu performed extraordinarily in the Dragon Palace trial, and they were all outstanding people.

In the face of otherworldly enemies on the plane battlefield, dare to show your sword, just to replace those who have been brushed down.

Under the glittering gold list, how could the two hundred and twenty-one tributes in the hall still indulge in the strange palace test just now, and their expressions were different after reading the list one by one.

On the gold list, no matter what his background is, and how famous he is before the palace examination, he is also overjoyed at the moment.

If the results are not out, no one knows whether they can win the list of heavenly books, which is the dream of thousands of readers in the world.

And this is already a reward at their fingertips, just waiting for the rest of the process to be completed.

As for the other 170 people, they can only be reduced to the top three, and they are generally called Tongjinshi origins.

Most of the one hundred and seventy fellow jinshi had calm faces, and at most there was a trace of envy and jealousy that was difficult to hide, because they knew that the top three was their limit.

Some fellow scholars were very frustrated, and their goal was to list the heavenly books and seek the Tao wholeheartedly.

But among the one hundred and seventy fellow jinshi, there are still a considerable number of people who are as happy as the jinshi who have passed the first class in the examination, and these people, like Qi Hua, originally wanted to serve the imperial court.

It didn't take long for it to confirm that the palace test of the Heavenly Court was over, and the Heavenly Officials had left, and a large number of guards suddenly appeared outside the extremely silent Middle Pole Hall.

Several purple-robed officials led people into the hall with their heads held high, led by the first assistant Zhang Xu, which represented that the imperial court began to take over the next palace examination process.

At this time, the light of the Jinshi gold list in the main hall was gradually weakening, this was only a list left by Nu Pan, and it was not yet an official palace gold list.

"Register immediately, and when the imperial palace examination is over, it will be announced uniformly." At the signal of a purple-robed official, Hanlin soon began to record the names of the people.

The palace test of the heavenly court confirms the first and second class ranks, and the internal palace test of the imperial court confirms the ranking of the same jinshi.

Zhang Xu didn't take the lead at this time, especially when he knew about the reward of the first class not long ago, and now he will not rely on the old and sell the old.

Among this batch of jinshi, there have been three heavenly officials, and how many of the remaining forty-eight heavenly people can succeed, presumably far beyond the previous ones.

"I've seen all the celestials, please go to the side hall to rest first, and stay with the Jinshi to leave Prince Yourui to test the palace of the Son of Heaven on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and rank at the same time." Zhang Xu walked among the crowd and bowed gently.

Xie Feichen, as the champion, is also at the forefront at this time, and he also returns the favor, calmly and confidently in his gestures, and he does have a bit of champion demeanor.

"Lord Shoufu is very polite, even if we become immortals in the future, it will be from Daxu."

This is Xie Feichen's answer on behalf of the first three people, and the remaining twenty-eight people who have to stay in the mortal world for the time being, naturally need Zhou Bai to come forward.

Feeling the gaze around him, Zhou Bai smiled, and also took a step forward, standing in a position that was level with Feichen.

Xie Feichen's transcendent aura and demeanor, as if because of Zhou Bai's behavior, although his face still did not change, there was a trace of incomprehension and disgust in the depths of his eyes.

A second-class first, how dare you be on an equal footing with him?

Zhou Bai didn't care about Xie Feichen's thoughts, he also bowed to Zhang Xu and said: "Lord Shoufu, I still have a long time to practice in the mortal world, as in the past, the official position that should be sealed by the imperial court cannot be without us." ”

is worthy of being the leader of the first and second grades, they all give face like this, and the smile on Zhang Xu's face is a little more sincere.

Several purple-robed scholars who were watching the situation here in the back also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Feichen is a scene, which can be regarded as nothing, but Zhou Bai's statement is the most important dignity of the imperial court.

According to the custom, the jinshi were to accept the official position of the imperial court like the same jinshi.

Of course, most of them are noble official positions that have little causal relationship, such as the positions in the Hanlin Academy.

But this was the case in the past, but this time it was different, and Heavenly Court would increase its efforts to cultivate them.

In case Zhou Bai said that he wanted to concentrate on cultivation, the imperial court could not do anything to him, which was also the idea of many celestials.

Zhang Xu took a deep look at Zhou Bai, stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay, okay, then please leave for the time being, and the rest of the palace test will be over soon." ”

……

In a blink of an eye, Zhou Bai and the others waited for nearly two hours drinking tea in the side hall, and saw that noon was coming.

The atmosphere in this side hall is not like when it is in the middle hall, it seems more harmonious, and the two hours are a strange state.

Zhou Bai and his Si Jie were discussing the rewards of the next Heavenly Court, which led the atmosphere of the others to become warm, while Xie Feichen, who was the champion, did not speak on the side, making a part of the cold scene.

After eating lunch in the imperial dining room, another hour passed, and this half-hot and half-cold atmosphere was broken by the sound of the bell outside.

Dangdang~

The melodious sound of the ancient bells echoed in the wide palace, not the usual opening and closing of the city gate, nor the three rings of the Yinggong Shidian test this morning, but the full nine sounds.

"Nine tones are the edict of the Son of Heaven to sacrifice to the sky! When we worship the heavens, it is the time when we are rewarded by the heavenly court and listed in the heavenly register. Xie Feichen, who had been silent for a long time, spoke, and then walked out impatiently.

At this time, his face was completely absent from the previous desert, and his demeanor was a little excited, because he was about to become a heavenly official and ascend for thirty-three days.

The lifelong dream pursued by many great Confucian celebrities, Taoist true monarchs, princes and nobles in history will be realized at the age when he has just been crowned.

Pushing open the door of the palace, there were already a large number of imperial guards waiting outside, and a full fifty-one pure white horses were waiting.

The first guard immediately stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "I have seen all the Jinshi, I am the commander of the first-class guards in front of the emperor, and I am ordered to escort and guide you to the southern suburbs. ”

Xie Feichen waved his hand, and immediately wanted him to lead the way, but was interrupted by Zhou Bai.

"Where are Prince Rui, Zhang Shoufu and those fellow jinshi who continue to take the palace exam?"

This guard commander was obviously also mentioned, and he quietly recognized people, and the three of them couldn't afford to offend, but they were about to enter the heavenly court as officials, and they couldn't remember a mortal.

And the Jinshi Tianren of the second class wants to continue to stay in Daxu, and the county officials are now in charge, so they can't afford to offend.

The commander replied without hesitation: "Prince Rui has already taken all the adults to the southern suburbs to prepare for the sacrifice to the heavens, as for the fellow jinshi......"

"How?"

"The top three gold list has been announced outside the imperial city, and the fellow jinshi are riding horses on the main street of Shenjing City."

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhou Bai was stunned, but the other Jinshi were also puzzled and even a little angry.

In the past, it was not like this, and the glory that should be enjoyed is enjoyed together.

But soon they all understood that this was unscrupulous in order to win over their own people?

The first-class and second-class jinshi are not their own people, and only the third-class and first-class jinshi can really be used by the imperial court.

Zhang Xu would not think that after Zhou Bai made a statement, they would really make a lot of effort for the imperial court.

I think that those fellow jinshi also feel that they are ahead of a certain treatment, which will make up for some of the shortcomings of not being admitted to the jinshi, so that they will be grateful and belong to the imperial court.

"Okay, we know, let's go, lead the way." Zhou Bai saw that everyone understood the truth, and he was not embarrassed by the commander in front of him, and ordered.

"Hmph."

Xie Feichen snorted coldly, strode in front of everyone, and got on the horse first.

He didn't know why, he was already in place for his self-cultivation, but after Zhou Bai disagreed with him and stole the limelight, he still had negative emotions.

Yes, others thought that this dissatisfied snort was because of the court's bullying, but Xie Feichen knew that he was a little unhappy with Zhou Bai and what he showed from his bones.

Even if he didn't enter the first class, he never had the idea of admitting defeat, and there was always a sense of perseverance in his eyes.

It's as if Zhou Bai can be sure that he will definitely go further than everyone else in the future.

A group of yellow-armored guards ran in front, and fifty-one jinshi rode white horses behind, which was an extremely majestic trip.

But after leaving the imperial city, it was deserted, and there were very few pedestrians on the streets, even if they saw their group, there was not much surprise in their eyes.

"Hey, why did you come out again? Is it a jinshi riding a horse on the street? ”

"You mother-in-law don't know don't talk nonsense, the previous batch is the same Jinshi, and there are only fifty-one people in this batch, and they are Jinshi."

"I don't understand, then you tell me, how can Jinshi be this little pompous, but Tongjinshi is noisy gongs and drums, and the Taoism applauds!"

"Tsk, that scene, we haven't seen it a few times when we live under the roots of the Imperial City."

"That is, if it weren't for the old man's illness, how could he follow everyone to the outer city to make peace, I heard that there is a lot of happy money thrown away, and you can be gentle......"

】

There were too many strange eyes and words like this, and the jinshi had no interest in parading the streets, and kept urging the guards to run faster.

Fortunately, these imperial guards are all good at practicing royal martial arts, and they are running like fierce horses, but they didn't delay too much.

……

In the southern suburbs, where the heavens are worshipped, the surrounding forests have long been cleared, leaving only a spacious wasteland.

The layers of guards standing solemnly and solemnly, inside are the civil and military officials of the imperial court, and officials at all levels in purple robes, scarlet robes and red robes are readily available.

Jing Rui, the one-word prince wearing a four-clawed dragon suit, stood at the front.

Even if the Son of Heaven can't come, it should be the young prince here, and Jing Rui can actually let Jing Rui handle it.

Zhou Bai pursed his lips, knowing that this seemed to be an agreement within the Daxu royal family, and let Jing Rui maintain Daxu through the difficult period, so as not to be suspicious of the lord Shaoguo.

Seeing that the protagonists of the sacrifice were finally here, the hundred officials made a way so that the fifty-one jinshi could stand behind Jing Rui.

Soon, Shao music sounded, and the sacrifice to the heavens was carried out in an orderly manner.

Looking at it from afar, the smoke and clouds on the altar of heaven are ethereal, the breath of incense is permeated, the calf is burned in the southeast, and the sky lantern is hung in the southwest.

In the middle of the Temple of Heaven, wisps of literary energy emerged from a nine-dragon statue, which was Jing Rui holding the examination paper of this examination and sacrificing it.

Red rolls, gold rolls, green rolls...... All of them turned to ashes, and the mighty pillar of luck ran through the heavens and the earth.

The last volume is Zhou Bai's Dapeng, blue and purple poems, and a trace of purple qi knocks on the door of heaven.

Rumble~

Suddenly, the heavens and the earth changed color, and a thunder from above resounded through the wilderness.

Birds and birds appear in the sky, and pieces of five-colored flowers fall on the altar, which is a vision of falling from the sky, which can only be seen when those above the half-saint come.

There was no trace of the fairy in sight, only a roll of green lists slowly spread out, and the names of new science and technology scholars began to appear on it.

This is the list of heaven!

"The first one is Xie Feichen, the second Yu Yuan, the third Liu Guangci Jinshi and the first, the list of heavenly books, and the position of the Nine Rank Heavenly Officials!"

"The first Zhou Bai of the second grade, the second Luan method, and the third step of Xiuran...... Forty-eight people were given the birth of Jinshi, the list of heavenly records, and the practice of the world temporarily! ”

"Forty-eight people from the second class gave Qionglin a banquet in ......"
