"Congratulations. The first place in Beizhili Xia Yuan Xia Old Master High School! ”

This shout made Xia Yuan doubt his hearing in a trance, until the little hand in his hand kept shaking, Zhao Yuerong jumped and jumped excitedly and shouted, and his little face turned red, "Husband, husband, you are hit, you are hit"

It seems that he has just brought him back to reality, and then Xia Yuan is dizzy for a while, the first name, Huiyuan, and the odds of one to one hundred.

ten taels of gold for a hundred taels of silver, one to a hundred, ten thousand taels of silver.

Rich, rich.

Xia Ru's lips trembled with excitement, not knowing how to express his emotions.

Oh my God, it's Huiyuan, it's Huiyuan

This is really something that I can't dream of, the people of Beizhili became Huiyuan, and there is only one case of the founding of the Ming Dynasty so far, even if it spreads to the entire north, there are only two.

And his nephew is the third person to be admitted to Huiyuan as a northern scholar since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

This is Huiyuan, with such an identity, wait until a few days later the palace test ranking, not to mention the champion, Bangyan, Tanhua and other three tripod positions, a second-class jinshi is absolutely unable to run, the second-class jinshi, straight into Hanlin, become a Shujishi, and even directly become the champion is not hopeless.

Oh my God, my Xia family is actually going to be the champion.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Xia Ru became, and in the end, he fell directly to the ground and began to cry.

"The ancestors opened their eyes, the ancestors opened their eyes"

This sudden collapse and crying made Xia Yuan a little overwhelmed, but he could completely understand it, joy, anger, sorrow, sorrow, and panic, all these emotions rose to a critical point, and the way of expression was crying, without exception.

Not to mention Xia Ru, even he himself wanted to cry, with odds of one to one, why didn't he bet more money in the first place?

Xia Ru knelt on the ground and was still crying, "Hit, hit!" Big brother, sister-in-law, you open your eyes and take a look at the heavenly spirit, Brother Yuan'er, he is hit, he is hit."

At this time, there are still many people on the list who are also crying, "Oh my God, how is it that Xie Yuan of Shuntianfu won Huiyuan, how can these top three be all northern scholars, my silver"

"Xia Jieyuan has now become Xia Huiyuan, and he has earned a good breath for our Beizhili, and he has to be the champion!"

There are more people who are shouting excitedly, "Quick, the gongs and drums are beating, let's go to Xia Huiyuan's house to report the good news!" ”

——————————————————

These days, the Gongyuan has been in a state of isolation, prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving, until today's list, it finally has contact with the outside world, along with the list posted out, there are also eunuchs who take the list and quickly enter the palace to report.

Zhu Youzhu and the important ministers had been waiting in the warm pavilion for a long time, and the eunuch who was responsible for getting the list ran all the way into the palace, and as soon as he stepped into the warm pavilion, the joy on his face had already gushed out, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the list of this test has been released, and there are a total of 298 people on the list, and there are another batch of handsome pillars in the imperial court!" ”

As he spoke, the list in his hand had been respectfully placed on the emperor's imperial case.

Zhu Youzhu picked it up, opened the red silk wrapped outside, and then opened the list to see, this list is not as appetizing as the list, and no one dares to hang the emperor's appetite, the ranking is clear from high to low.

And the first one was the first name in this test, and when that name was revealed, Zhu Youjiao's breath suddenly stopped.

First place, Huiyuan, Xia Yuan, Daxing County, North Zhili.

This, this is the first name?

Emperor Hongzhi really didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, there was surprise, puzzlement, unbelievability, and a trace of excitement that he hadn't even noticed.

The northerners overwhelmed the southerners to become the first place in this test, it is not something that has happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but there are very few, to be honest, Zhu Youzhu has lived for so many years, this is the first time I have seen it.

After all, the south has been a land of culture and romance since ancient times, and the north is indeed unable to catch up with the horse.

Looking down further, Zhu Youzhang's pupils shrank slightly, is the northern scholar dominating the list this time?

The top three are all northerners.

And in the top ten, there are still three.

At this time, the corner of Emperor Hongzhi's eyes swept to the ministers below, everyone looked expectant, waiting for him, the supreme emperor, to hurry up and finish the list, and then tell them the result.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Zhu Youzhu closed the list in his hand, glanced around His Highness, and then said with a smile: "You may wish to guess who is the first person in the fifteenth year of Hongzhi?" ”

“？？？”

Guess?

Several ministers below looked at each other, looking at each other's gray beards on their faces, speaking of which, the Hongzhi Dynasty has a rather distinctive feature, that is, the Manchu Dynasty is full of bad old men.

Six Shangshu, three cabinet ministers, the left and right attendants of each department, the prince of the country, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion, almost all the senior members of the entire court who are above the third grade, none of them are below sixty years old, and the oldest is close to ninety.

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Ma Wensheng, Wang Shu, a group of old men who are three hundred years old and have an average age of more than seventy years old look at each other.

After a while, Wang Shu, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials and the oldest, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this head Huiyuan Mo a northerner?" ”

This is the first time that the emperor has asked them to guess who this person is, and something must be different when something goes wrong.

So it's better to guess the other way around.

Seeing that it was guessed all at once, Zhu Youzhu pondered for a moment and said ambiguously: "Wang Qing's family has to say who the specific person is, the north and the south are too general." ”

"That old minister guessed that he was a political envoy from Shaanxi." Wang Shunai is a native of Sanyuan, Shaanxi, and people always have some preference for their hometown, of course, he just guesses casually.

After all, even he, who was a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, was only a second-class jinshi back then, and he was only a dozen in the examination.

Liu Jian also saw that the head of the six kings was guessing nonsense, after all, this old man didn't think about it, so he stood up to speak for the people in the Central Plains, "The old minister guessed that he was a political envoy from Henan." ”

Ma Wensheng even spoke in a Chinese dialect, "The old minister seconded the proposal." ”

Seeing that the other three all said their own conjectures, and they were all guessing to their hometowns, Li Dongyang, who had been silent, felt as if it was his turn, but his hometown was a little unusual, his ancestral home was Huguang, but his hometown was in Beizhili.

After pondering for a while, Li Dongyang said slowly: "Most of the Huiyuan in the imperial examinations of the National Dynasty are from Nanzhili, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but this land of lakes and wide is also the peak of literary style, and it is not impossible for Beizhili to be, after all, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the place where the king has been transformed for a long time, and it is common to produce some talents." ”

"Then Li Qing guessed who it was?"

"Chenchai North Zhili."

“.”

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Emperor Hongzhi picked up the list, opened it, and said in a quiet tone: "Wang Qingjia guessed that he was a political envoy from Shaanxi, and the third place in this examination was a martial arts person from Shaanxi;

Liu Qingjia and Ma Qingjia guessed that they were political envoys from Henan,

The second place in this examination is a person from Puzhou, Henan; And Li Qingjia guessed that he was a person from Beizhili."

After a pause, Zhu Youzhu spoke: "The first name of this meeting test is indeed a person from Beizhili. ”

At this time, he was a little crying and laughing, he knew that these old men were actually guessing, and they didn't even think about it, they just reported their hometown.

But I guessed correctly, and in a sense, I guessed all of them correctly, or they all guessed very closely.
