In the summer, the weather is hot, only the morning is cooler, the willow branches by the river are flying, and the birds in the treetops are flying their wings, looking curiously at the crowd under the courtyard wall in front of them.

When the Great Qian Empire released the list, it was at the beginning of the rising sun, and when it was learned that the people who were on the list today, the scholars who watched the lively scene, the talents, and the people who were watching were all surrounded by a mountain of people in front of the wall of the ceremonial department.

"The list is released, the list is released, let it go."

"I'm tired of letting go, the list is here."

"Don't squeeze, if we don't put up the list, you won't be able to see it."

Behind them, two officials in red robes carried the list with a smile on their faces, and hung them on the city wall with a smile in everyone's eyes.

The two little guys carried the stairs and trotted all the way to the wall, and then helped the old man to support his body, climbed the high ladder step by step, and hung the list on the city wall in full view of everyone.

When the list was put down, the crowded crowd outside the wall that was buzzing suddenly quieted down, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites cleared their throats and called loudly: "In the nineteenth year of Daqian Jianyuan, the first place in the palace examination, the champion of Jinke - Li Ming!" ”

"In the nineteenth year of Daqian Jianyuan, the second place in the palace examination, the eye of the list - Zhao Yang!"

"In the twentieth year of Daqian's Jianyuan, the third place in the palace examination, Tanhua - Liu Chang!"

“……”

The roll call is out, the champion, the list eye, Tanhua Saburo was opened by Jin Wuwei in the city, and the emperor's royal road passed through the city.

The middle gate of the imperial city was wide open, and the champion Li Ming was wearing a big red robe, wearing a crown of wings to the sky, and a big red flower on his body.

Zhao Yang came out of the side door, wearing a big red robe, wearing a crown of long wings of the Song family, and a big red flower on his body, and followed the champion with a straight waist.

Tanhua Liu Chang again, with the back of the list, wearing a big red robe, wearing a crown like a brocade, and a big red flower on his body, followed behind the list.

The palace test list, the whole city watched, the people had already occupied both sides of the royal road, and they all looked at the three people in the royal road with envy.

Champion, Bangyan, Tanhua, what a fascinating existence.

Especially the scholars in the crowd, their fists were clenched, and they couldn't replace them.

On both sides of the crowd, Li Ming's uncle Liu Qingshi is on the right, and his uncle Wang Hengliang is on the left, both of them are good hands among the first-class masters.

On the royal road in the middle, Li Ming, who was wearing a big red robe, tied with a big red flower, and wearing a crown of wings to the sky, was smiling, he looked at the people on both sides of the street, stepped on the royal road with his head high, and walked forward.

The cheers and celebrations in his ears, and the screams of the woman were endless, but Li Ming had no time to care about anything else, and began to think about what would happen after becoming the champion in his heart.

"Emperor, it's really going to war."

Li Ming thought faintly in his heart, but then rubbed his fingers again, trying to let the sunlight shine on his face a little more, so as not to feel cold in his heart when he looked at the people around him.

He knew that with the start of the war, the good days of these people would come to an end.

And he is one of the promoters......

However, despite such emotions, Li Ming knew that for him, going to war was a good thing.

The two countries are at war, and it is impossible for only ordinary soldiers to go to the battlefield, there must be cultivators.

As the champion of the Golden Branch of the main battle, he must participate in the previous identity, and this identity is the opportunity for him to contact these cultivators.

Only by coming into contact with a practitioner can he gain the power of a practitioner.

It's just that...... I have afflicted the people among them.

Li Ming sighed secretly in his heart, still pretending to be cheerful with a smile on his face, and walked to the other end of the city gate under the cheers of the people.

It's just that...... The louder the cheers, the more awkward he became.

Zhao Yang, who was following behind Li Ming, smiled lightly, and his eyes mostly fell on Li Ming in front of him.

As a role model, he naturally knows that sometimes the test is not necessarily the grade, but the attitude and choice.

He chose peace and contradicted the emperor. Li Ming chose war and was close to the emperor.

Therefore, Li Ming became the champion, and he was just the eye.

Even Zhao Yang knew in his heart that his own list was also the result of his own forces, otherwise he was afraid that the top three might not have his name.

But Zhao Yang knows that he is not inferior to anyone when he learns in turn.

At the very least, he is not inferior to the champion in front of him.

'All the people of the world will suffer. ’

Zhao Yang looked at the people who were warmly welcomed around him, and looked at Li Ming in front of him, I really wanted to ask him, are you embarrassed to be so warmly welcomed by this people.

Of course, he knew in his heart that it was not only the people who suffered, but also their families, who were forced to make a lot of concessions as the war broke out......

Tanhua Liu Chang's face was like a crown of jade, his face was full of cheerful smiles, he looked at Li Ming, who was more handsome than himself, tall and burly, and looked at Zhao Yang, who was in second place and had a better background than himself, with a smile on his face, and he didn't care at all.

Li Ming is an official for the sake of immortal dao, and Zhao Yang's role model is for his own family.

But he was only for the money.

There is a way to make money in the world, and there is a way to start a war.

As long as he can get money, he doesn't care whether he fights or not, whether it's too peaceful.

Looking at the enthusiastic people around him, Liu Chang was also smiling.

These people are good, they are all giving him money, can it be good, his mood is naturally happy!

The royal road gradually ended, and the top three in the palace test were in different moods, but all of them completed the whole process of the royal road with a smile on their faces.

Like the current "college banquet", after the release of the list, people will inevitably celebrate.

In ancient times on earth, the title of the Golden List was celebrated as the "Four Banquets of the Imperial Examination" - the Luming Banquet, the Qionglin Banquet, the Eagle Yang Banquet and the Huiwu Banquet.

The Luming Banquet is a banquet set up for the new imperial examination, because the banquet should sing the "Luming" poem in the Book of Songs, so it has its name.

The Qionglin Banquet is a banquet set up for new science and technology scholars in ancient times. After the palace examination, the emperor announced the ranking of the Dengke Jinshi and gave a banquet to celebrate. Because the banquet is held in the famous Qionglin Garden, the banquet is called "Qionglin Banquet".

The Eagle Yang Banquet and the Huiwu Banquet are all martial arts banquets. After the Wuxiang test list is released, the examiner and the martial artist in the examination should participate in the banquet to celebrate, and the banquet is called the "Eagle Yang Banquet".

After the trial release of the Wuke Palace, a banquet will be held in the military department for the new martial arts to celebrate, which is called the "Martial Arts Banquet". Qing Liang Zhangju's "Wandering Tracks: Wusheng Wuju" cloud: "The text is called the Deer Ming Banquet, and the Wu is called the Eagle Yang Banquet, everyone knows it; Wen Jinshi called the Grace Banquet, and Wu Jinshi called the Wu Banquet, but few people knew it. ”

At the end of the palace test, the Daqian Dynasty also had a banquet, on the second day of the list, the emperor gave a banquet, and all the people on the list went to the Lion Tower to celebrate, and after the celebration ended, the court paid for the one-day consumption in Beijing.

So at noon the next day, the Jinshi who had been on the list in the middle hall of the Lion Tower gathered together, and it was very lively, but no one moved the food on the wine table, obviously waiting for the assistant teacher to appear.

One waited until ten o'clock at noon, and the three big guys in big red robes walked into the lion building, thinking that they were wearing a crown of wings to the sky, the second one was wearing a Song long-winged crown, and the third was wearing a crown like a brocade flat.

In an instant, there was a sensation in the lion building, and people warmly welcomed the three top leaders, and as they sat down and moved their chopsticks, the atmosphere on the field quickly became lively.

The noon dinner is the dinner of the students, and when it is over, there will be big people to say a few words, so the jinshi eat very happily, drink very happily, occasionally say two lines of poetry to each other, say two sentences of sassy words, and lead to laughter.

Only the three top leaders were always smiling all the time, eating the meal peacefully, until it was almost over, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu came in person, and the field instantly quieted down.

But fortunately, Shangshu didn't stay long when he came, he smiled and said some scenes and turned away, and the Jinshi were liberated, and then hooked their shoulders and went in and out of the city to look for flowers and willows.

Li Ming didn't participate, and after leaving the lion building, he took advantage of the court to pay for it, bought some things, and swept away a lot of precious medicinal materials in the pharmacy, so he returned to his residence with a smile and began to continue practicing martial arts under the care of his uncle and uncle.

After the release of the list, the news of Li Ming's high school champion spread all the way to Linshan Town, which instantly caused a sensation.

The people happily ran to the Li Mansion to celebrate, and Master Li laughed even more, full of relief, and asked people to hang red lanterns on the house, prepare a lot of candy, and whoever came to congratulate would grab a handful.

As far as Lian Qingsong Guan felt honored, he even sent Li Ming's master Xu Jin to bring several powerful disciples from the sect into Beijing to better protect his own promising disciple.

When Master Li heard about this, he also rolled his eyes and asked Master Li Ming, Xu Jin, to take his two maids into the capital by the way.

The carriage and horses traveled slowly, and after 15 days, they finally arrived in the capital.

On this day, Li Ming was practicing martial arts, and suddenly saw the master coming over with so many people, especially the two familiar maids in the family, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"You have won the champion now, and you have a great future, and the head of the sect is worried about your safety, so he specially asked me to bring the disciples of Guanzhong here."

Xu Jin opened his mouth with a smile, and then pointed to the more than twenty strong disciples around him and said with a smile: "Each of them is a second-rate master, which is enough to better protect your safety." ”

"Ah, this, that shape, then please come in first."

Li Ming smiled and immediately let them in.

Now that Li Ming has been a high school champion, it is naturally impossible to live in the small dilapidated house before, and the emperor heard that his living conditions were poor, and directly gave him a hundred gold, a thousand silver, and gave him a set of three-entry courtyards, which was quite luxurious.

These people come in, more than enough.

"Sister Yu'er, Xiaohe, the two of you will rest in the bedroom for a while, if there is any inconvenience, remember to tell me in time, and I will go to the master to say something."

Li Ming first took the two maids who came from his hometown to his room and said to them with a smile.

Sister Yu'er is three years older than Li Ming, although she is called a maid, but she has taken care of him since she was a child, Li Ming is not a person who likes to put on a show, she is easy-going, and she is naturally very happy to get along with the maid, so she doesn't treat her as a maid, and she is usually called 'sister'

Xiaohe is as big as Li Ming, and she is also an accompanying maid who grew up with him since she was a child, she is the same as Sister Yu'er, she is Li Ming's side, and she is usually called by Xiaohe Xiaohe, and she is not estranged.

"Okay, Master's business is important, you go first."

Yu'er's figure is tall and plump, and his skin is as delicate as white jade, and he nodded in understanding when he heard this, so that he doesn't have to care about himself.

"Well, Brother Ming, go quickly."

Xiaohe also spoke, her figure was slender, her skin was also fair, obedient and sensible, and she didn't dare to trouble Li Ming.

"Well, I'll come back to you later."

Li Ming smiled at the two, he saw the two fair-skinned companions come here, and knew what his father meant, this was to let him take care of the maid and start a family first.

Thinking of this, he smiled, turned around and walked out of the house, where he met the master in the hall.

"Your two maids live in a separate room every time they go to the post station, and the disciples are all guarding outside, and no one touches each other along the way."

Seeing that Li Ming had arranged for the two maids in the family to come over, his master Xu Jin explained with a smile.

"What the master said, you lead the team, I can still feel at ease."

Li Ming waved his hand, and when the disciples came in and saw him, they all looked respectful and frank, plus he had a strong spiritual power, he couldn't see what was going on.

"Haha, what you said in the letter, the sect has received it, not only the sect, but also your family, and now all the disciples in the temple have been recalled, the mountains are full of people, and a lot of food has been hoarded, at least enough to eat and drink in the temple for seven years."

When Xu Jin came in, the maids and servants in the house all walked out of this hall, and there were their own people on the left and right, he whispered to Li Ming, and then looked at him tentatively.

"There's going to be a war."

Li Ming said directly, Xu Jin and the surrounding disciples were all shocked, and they nodded like this.

"When?"

Xu Jin couldn't help but ask nervously, he also came for another purpose, that is, to ask the reason, so that the sect would have a bottom.

"I have given the Hanlin Academy to revis, rest at home for two months, take office at the beginning of autumn, it is estimated that there will be no war in the autumn and winter, and there is no reason to find it recently, but maybe, if the Xiongnu in the Western Regions still invade the border as in previous years this year, then it is estimated that there will be a war in the spring of next year."

"If not, then there will be a war at the latest in the spring of the next year."

Li Ming said firmly.

After the palace examination, the champion was awarded the Hanlin Academy for revision, and the Bangyan and Tanhua were awarded for editing.

The rest of the Jinshi who passed the examination are called Hanlin Yuan Shu Jishi. Those who pass the examination after 3 years will be awarded the editors and reviewers of the Hanlin Academy, and the rest will be distributed to the departments to serve as directors and other positions, or be preferentially appointed by the county, which is called a loose official

That is to say, ordinary Jinshi cannot be directly an official after ascending to the top. First of all, you have to go to the Ministry of Officials to take another examination, called the "Guan Examination", after passing the examination, the file will be transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Officials, even if it has the qualification to be an official, it is called to obtain "origin", but still can not be an official immediately, it is necessary to "keep the election" for three years, and then participate in the official selection procedure of the Ministry every winter, called "Winter Collection", and only those who are selected can be officials, that is, "release brown", also called "unraveling brown", that is, take off the clothes of civilians, you can wear official uniforms.

Non-jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet, so although this step is difficult, it is also the dream of many people.

At present, only the top three have been appointed, but it is just a hot summer, and it is not yet the time to take office, so Li Ming will stay at home.
