That night, in order to celebrate the successful conclusion of the palace examination, the emperor gave a banquet to the palace, and the news spread quickly throughout the capital.

Grabbing. Since Emperor Wu, the Han Dynasty has been the first to open the wind of inquiry, and this is the first time that it has been so grand.

The name of the leader Chen Yu fell to thousands of households along with the fluttering snowflakes.

The various situations in the big exam are also intriguing, so many children of the family have failed to make the list, which is an unprecedented thing.

Among the twenty-five top-grade candidates, nearly one-third of them are from poor families, and the leader Chen Yu is even more from a humble background.

In the past one or two hundred years since the Han Dynasty opened the examination, there have also been leaders from poor families, so Chen Yu's identity is not very special.

What is rare is the proportion of children from poor families in the share of admissions.

It can be seen from this that His Majesty's determination to reform the inspection system, countless poor students who are in a wait-and-see state have a raging fire in their hearts, perhaps, their spring has arrived.

淘戅戅。 And the big families are also silently reviewing, if the children of the clan do not study well, after more than ten years, their families will have no successors, and the glory of the family will gradually decline.

The family is not eternal, who can guarantee that it will always be prosperous, and there are not a few broken families, and even some have long been annihilated in the smoke and dust of history, without a trace.

In the Lecheng Palace, the lights are brilliant tonight, and the huge bronze lanterns are luxurious and exquisite, illuminating every face in front of the red lacquer carved case.

The twenty-five newly promoted high-ranking filial piety and honesty sitting at the top are the most eye-catching.

Because they are the protagonists of this banquet, enjoying the glory that they have never had since ancient times, even the court bigwigs are accompanying the last seat.

In the sound of ceremonial music, the dancing girls are enchanting, and the fragrance of hibiscus wine is mellow and rich, and the smoke makes people flutter.

Liu Zhi was dressed in red, with a happy smile, and had fun with the ministers.

He knows a little bit about the discussion in the market, and even deliberately sends people to spread and guide public opinion, as a modern soul, he knows the importance of public opinion.

What's more, after the last secret contest with Zhao Jie, he tasted the sweetness, and since then he has regarded controlling public opinion as a sharp and incomparable weapon.

Now Yang Jian has a special part responsible for monitoring the public opinion of the Jingshi, and is responsible for guiding at critical moments.

It won't be long before the news of the emperor's fair selection will spread to every corner of the Han Empire, so that all students and people with lofty ideals can see the hope of getting ahead and showing their ambitions.

The banquet did not last long, and after an hour, it ended, after all, the symbolism of this time was greater than the practical significance.

On the second day, the snowflakes that had been falling for a day stopped, and a red sun leaped into the sky, shining brightly on the snow-capped earth.

On a cold day, the front of the Pingcheng Gate was full of people watching the lively market, and the emperor had already issued an edict yesterday.

The leader of the palace examination and the two top eyes will arrange flowers to parade through the streets, starting from the flat city gate, circling the imperial city, and then returning to the city gate.

This is a rare thing that has never been seen since the beginning of the world, early in the morning, the people of Luoyang City heard the wind and gathered along the way, waiting to see the excitement.

It wasn't until noon that a group of heavily armed Jinwuti riders came out of the palace, all of them with bright armor and high spirits.

In the middle of the Jin Wuti ride, there are three Confucian scholars riding tall horses, all dressed in red, wearing scribe crowns, and a dazzling red silk pile palace flower is inserted in the sideburns.

This dress is very novel, the Han Dynasty inherited the ancient Zhou ritual aftertaste, pay attention to the antiquity, the general scribes like the simple atmosphere, most of the colors are elegant and solemn, there is a solemn beauty.

Wearing flowers on the head is a woman's patent, and I have never seen a man wearing a red flower on his head, and it is said that this is the idea of His Majesty the Emperor.

The first one was in his forties, riding a red horse, with a calm face, calm, quite the style of everyone, and he knew at a glance that he was a highly virtuous and knowledgeable scribe.

The second person is in his thirties, riding a big black horse, and he also has good facial features and a lofty spirit.

However, the eyes of many girls and the elderly are firmly attracted to the third person.

I saw that he was only in his early twenties, with a white horse under his crotch, without even a trace of variegation, and his whole body was snow-white, which formed a strong contrast with the red clothes on his body.

It also lined his face like a crown of jade, graceful and graceful, and the trembling palace flower on his head added a bit of handsomeness to him.

"I only found out today that the man wears flowers and looks so good."

"Oh my God, what a handsome young man, I really envy us."

"I heard that he is Bohai Gao Xun, seven years old can write, ten years old poetry, or from a big family......"

People on both sides talked about it, and everyone in the world loved color, but it turned out that Gao Xun, who was in third place, stole the limelight from the leader Chen Yu.

There was even a bold woman who plucked the flowers on her head and threw them at Gao Xun, she took the lead, and many people followed suit, and countless flowers flew over for a while.

Gao Xun sat on the white horse, smiled, and waved to the crowd of onlookers, but the spectators on both sides let out bursts of excited screams.

Liu Zhi sat on the second floor of the wine shop opposite the city gate, looking at the lively scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

No matter what era it is, there are fanatical star chasers.

However, this is also his purpose, to set them as an example and make everyone in the world envious.

The first woman who threw flowers just now was carefully arranged by him, and halfway through the way, he also arranged for the dancing girl to set up a stage on the side of the road, singing and dancing, and pushing this grand occasion to the climax.

Of course, the focus of those scholars and doctors is different from that of ordinary people, His Majesty seems to just love to be lively and happy, but the deep meaning behind this move is worth pondering.

Today, Taixue also had a day off, and all the students came to see the excitement.

Those who can enter Taixue are basically the best of the children of the family, according to the previous rules of the Han Dynasty, as long as they can pass the graduation exam, they can enter the palace as a Lang official for internship.

When the internship period is completed, they can smoothly wait for the assignment of official positions, and they are typical of the great Chinese scholars and excellent scholars, with an unparalleled sense of superiority.

But now that the emperor has released the rumors, everyone must pass the big exam in order to become an official in the future, and only those with special talents can be exceptional.

In the past, they were full of superiority, and felt that as long as they entered Taixue, they would be equivalent to stepping into the career with one foot, and they would be able to reach the career in the future and be smooth sailing.

Now, looking at the three people who were in high spirits immediately, they had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they were very unpleasant.

The three thousand students, with their green shirts fluttering, formed a beautiful scenery on the side of the road, and if it was in the past, it would inevitably cause a sensation.

Until now, they are just watching the lively crowd, and all the envious eyes will not stay for them, but focus on the three people with infinite scenery.

Amid the cheers, the procession slowly started and began to march around the imperial city from west to east. Grabbing

The snow on the ground could not stop the enthusiasm of Luoyang people, and many people worked tirelessly to follow behind.

There are also vendors carrying rattan baskets to sell dried fruits and cakes in the crowd, and the business is surprisingly good, and everyone is smiling.

This feast was not only for the scholars, but also for the people, and from top to bottom, everyone was involved in the entire Jingshi, whether it was a dignitary or a peddler and pawn.

Together, this unprecedented event has been achieved, but Liu Zhi believes that it will not be a last-ditch move, and it will only be larger than the next one in the future, and more candidates will be admitted.

But this first time, it will always be remembered in my heart, leaving a strong mark in the history books, along with his name of Liu Zhi, which will be remembered for thousands of years.

The lively crowd gradually faded away, and everywhere along the way, all eyes were watched, and countless people welcomed them.

When the procession came to the summer gate, the color platforms had already been set up on both sides of the long street, and everyone looked at it intently and couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamations.

"Oh my God, it's Yunzhongyan from the West Garden, who actually set up a stage here to perform for free, and now I'm a blessing for my eyes."

"Look, is this Xuan Xue Ji? She is the head of the Youth Garden, and she may not be able to meet her on weekdays with her daughter. ”

It turns out that these two are both famous kaki and maihime in Kyoshi, and they are leaders in their respective industries, and they are worth a lot of money.

Ordinary people can't even see them, let alone enjoy their performances.

Unexpectedly, today these two people are performing on the same stage here, or performing for free in public, how can it not make people ecstatic.

The Zhijin Wuti rode the three scholars between the two platforms, and the wings of the geese lined up, and they were surrounded inside.

The warbler on the color platform screamed, and said in unison, "Yanhe Chen Kuishou in the clouds, Cen Bangyan, Gaobang Eye Hall test high school." ”

Yun Zhongyan performed her specialty, jumping pills, nine colored pills like meteors catching the moon, dazzling.

With her graceful and vigorous posture, it is more and more pleasing to the eye, which makes the audience cheer like thunder.

Over there, Xiao Xuanxue's ten slender jade fingers like green onion pipes plucked the strings flexibly, and the pipa sounded melodiously and tactfully.

I could only hear her open her lips and sing: "It is as white as snow on the mountain, and as bright as the moon between the clouds." Wen Jun has two intentions, so he decided to ......"

The song gradually turned from grief to intensity, which was written by Zhuo Wenjun, a famous talented woman in the Western Han Dynasty.

The song twists and turns, and begins to become confused and lonely," ...... I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated......"

In the end, it became resolute and agitated," ...... Men are heavy-minded, why use money knives! ”

The emotions of the crowd rose and fell several times with her songs, and at the end of the song, the joy was thunderous and lasted for a long time.

Such a wonderful picture is deeply engraved in the memory of the people of Luoyang, and even decades later, some people still talk about it.

Chen Yu was still calm and calm, and arched his hand, "Thank you, congratulations to each other." ”

Later, Cen Hui and Gao Xun also thanked him politely, and Yunzhong Yan returned the salute generously, but Xiao Xuanxue's wonderful eyes stopped at Gao Xun and smiled at him.

Gao Xun suddenly felt that the ice and snow in front of him were melting, and the lotus flowers were blooming, which was dizzying.

Yun Zhongyan's beauty is thick eyebrows, big eyes, and heroic, while Xiao Xuanxue is the ideal stunning beauty in the minds of the Han Dynasty doctors.

"There are beautiful women in the north, one cares about the city, and then the country ......"

In an instant, Gao Xun's heart appeared with the famous poem, perhaps, the poem is talking about such a beautiful woman.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile back at her, his eyes were facing each other, Lang had the intention of having a concubine, and a good story of Hongchen was born.

After leaving the summer gate, the procession did not stop any longer, and before sunset, it finally returned to the starting point and the city gate in the red sky.

In the enthusiastic cheers, the three of them repeatedly thanked each other, and then turned around and entered the city gate, and returned to the palace to report to the emperor.

This time, Liu Zhi was dressed in regular clothes and summoned them at the Zhongde Palace.

"Haha, today I also saw the heroic posture of the three on the city tower, especially Gao Xun, I don't know how many spring daughters' dreams will enter tonight."

A ridicule made Gao Xun blush, "Your Majesty made fun of it." ”

"I saw those women rushing to throw flowers first, and suddenly felt that I should change your nickname, and I will call Tanhualang in the future."

Emperor Chrysostom gave such a graceful and elegant name, which made Gao Xun's third place suddenly add a lot of color.

Although it can't be compared with the leader, it also overwhelms the second place Cen Hui in the romance, and the scenery is infinite.

"Gao Xun thanks Your Majesty for the reward."

Gao Xun, who couldn't help but be overjoyed, immediately possessed and thanked him.

"The three of them are all pillars, have you ever thought about whether you plan to stay in Jingshi, or are you willing to go to a local place to train?"

Liu Zhi's seemingly casual question made the three of them fall into contemplation, this answer cannot be rash, it is related to their future future.

Chen Yu groaned slightly, and then took the lead in replying, "Back to Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the local experience and be a diligent and conscientious local official." ”

Cen Hui and Gao Xun both looked at him in surprise, knowing that he was the leader of the palace test, and His Majesty obviously appreciated him very much.

If you want to stay in Jingshi, it must be easy, and the future is limitless.

But he didn't hesitate to say that he was willing to go to the place, is this stupid or stupid?

"Okay, you start with the county magistrate, I will pay attention to your political performance to see if you can be diligent and responsible."

"No, thank you, Your Majesty."

Hearing that the leader Chen Yu had become a county magistrate, Cen Hui and the others felt that something was not good, and they had seen His Majesty publicize it with such fanfare, and they thought that they would rise to prominence.

But now, aren't they a little floating?

"What about Cen Hui, what do you think?"

Liu Zhi looked at him with a smile on his face, so that he didn't have time to think about it at all.

"Back to Your Majesty, ...... I am also willing to go to the local experience. ”

In a hurry, his mind swirled several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and gave up his answer.

"Okay, then as you wish, start with the county magistrate like Chen Yu."

In fact, the official rank of the county magistrate is not low, the key is that he is unwilling to go to the place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, if he wants to make political achievements, it is difficult.

If it is in Beijing, even if it is just a Lang official with a lower status, there is more room for promotion.

When it was Gao Xun's turn, he gritted his teeth and took the initiative to reply without waiting for Liu Zhi to ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, Xun claims to be young and inexperienced, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to be qualified as a local parent official, so I am willing to stay in Beijing as a small official and accumulate qualifications first."

Liu Zhi smiled slightly, didn't say much, but said softly, "Then enter the Hanlin Garden as an editor." "Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding

Hearing this, Gao Xun breathed a sigh of relief, although Hanlin Yuan is a pure scribe institution, does not involve politics and has no real power, but it is in the palace and in the center of power.

What is the future depends on how you go.
