Chapter 122: How dare you take the name of Zhenguo
Under the scorching sun, Su Wen suddenly felt a little dazed in his brain, Emperor Wei actually gave himself the title of Zhenguo Gongsheng?
Within the ten countries of the human race, each country has only nine "town country" titles, which correspond to the ninth rank of the civil rank, which not only represents the highest recognition of the secular world for the literary and Taoist generation, but also represents the lofty status of this person in the same rank!
For example, Xu Huanzhi, a half-saint of Zhenguo, represents the strongest half-saint of the country, and Wang Yangming, a scholar of Zhenguo University, is a well-deserved first scholar in the country.
However, Zhenguo Gongsheng?
The higher the climber, the more he can see the broader scenery, but at the same time, there will be fewer and fewer fellow travelers around him.
Even if the literary rank is so unattainable for ordinary people, but in the past hundred years, the Holy Dao has given birth to tens of thousands of scholars just to defend the country.
But if you go all the way up from Wensheng, Gongsheng, Shiyu, Yushu, Hanlin......
This number will be drastically reduced, and there will only be a dozen people who will eventually be able to attain the Holy Path and rank among the Semi-Saints, let alone attaining the Holy Rank.
Except for the twenty or thirty years before the opening of the Divine Book, when the Holy Rank appeared in a blowout, in the past few decades, there has not even been a single Holy Order!
Of course, the person who has the most hope of breaking this barrier is Xu Huanzhi.
This situation also shows in disguise that the title of "Zhenguo" is easier to canonize when the higher the rank, after all, there are fewer people, and the two are compared. It's also more obvious.
Xu Huanzhi's so-called title of the first half-saint of the country was not self-proclaimed by him. It's not something that others tout, but a paper battle!
Except for individual retreats to impact the holy path and half-saints who are ignorant of worldly affairs. Xu Huanzhi almost challenged the entire demi-saint of the country, and the final result was a complete victory!
Yes, Xu Huanzhi was named the half-saint of Zhenguo, even if he has no half of his military exploits, he is truly well-deserved and deserved!
However, there are only a dozen of the Patriotic Demi-Saints in total, and Xu Huan challenged them one by one. It only took a few days, what if the challenge was placed in the Wensheng and Gongsheng, who had the largest base of Wendao?
That's almost an impossible task.
The literati are light, especially for those who are still climbing up at the foot of the mountain, and no one thinks that they will eventually climb lower than others.
Do you want the entire Patriotic Tens of thousands of scholars to admit that one of them is stronger than the others?
Do you want hundreds of tribute students to recognize someone as the number one tribute student in the country?
Impossible!
Therefore, the title of "Zhenguo" is rarely given by a monarch to a low-level scholar, and usually those who can obtain this honor are already in the rank of Hanlin and Bachelor.
Su Wen is the first Zhenguo Gongsheng canonized in the past hundred years.
Equally. He is also the only Zhenguo Gongsheng in the ten countries of the human race!
But why?
Is it because he has been on the list of "Wen Yi Zaidao" three times? Or is it because he is in the name of the holy talent given by the Holy Land? Or is it because he was promoted to a tribute student in the state examination?
No one has been able to come up with an answer.
In terms of military exploits, Su Wen has no inch. He is just a small tribute, how can he be so important to the emperor? Let all the tributes of the country be convinced?
To this day, Su Wen has never even been out of the Huizhou Mansion. Most of the literati in the country only heard of him, but did not know him. Even some people in Huizhou Mansion are not so convinced of Su Wen, let alone the entire country?
The title of Zhenguo needs to be announced to the world, so at this time, not only Huizhou Mansion, but also the other three major state capitals of Weiguo, Liangzhou Mansion, Bizhou Mansion and Cangzhou Mansion, have also received this imperial decree written by Emperor Wei himself.
For a time, the whole country was shocked.
But at the same time, almost every literati can't help but have an inexplicable thought in their minds.
Will this Su Wen become the second Xu Huanzhi?
From some points of view, Su Wen and Xu Huanzhi really have a lot of similarities, such as the two of them were added to the civil position without the state examination, and for example, neither of them made half an inch of military exploits in the country, so they were named Zhenguo, and finally, the two of them have not shown the so-called genius posture since childhood, until they have been silent for many years.
It's just that Xu Huanzhi has been silent for more than forty years, while Su Wen has been silent for fifteen years.
However, in comparison, Su Wen's title of Zhenguo Gongsheng is more valuable than Xu Huanzhi's Zhenguo Semi-Saint!
When Xu Huanzhi was given the title of Zhenguo, he was already a half-saint, so the many benefits brought by this title did not mean much in front of his half-saint position.
For example, people with the title of Zhenguo can enter and leave the palace freely without notification, and those of the same rank and below need to bow down, and even the trace of holy power contained in the edict of the title has no substantive effect for Xu Huanzhi at that time, I am afraid that the only significance is to increase some literary names, which is better than nothing.
But Su Wen is different!
At this time, Su Wen is just a tribute student, so the benefits brought by the title of Zhenguo are much more important to him now!
It's just that although Zhenguo is good, it's a little hot.
Su Wen didn't understand why Emperor Wei was so optimistic about himself, but there was no doubt that Emperor Wei's move was almost a killing for him, and it was conceivable that after Su Wen entered Hongming Academy, he would attract the hostility and jealousy of many people.
"But it doesn't matter, anyway, I also made a big splash on the literary list, and even grabbed a place in a holy land, I should have hated me for a long time, and it is not bad for the name of this town. After a short period of astonishment, Su Wen quickly accepted it, stepped forward, and bowed down to accept the order.
"We will live up to the grace of the country!"
The herald rider solemnly handed over the cloth to Su Wen, and then a golden aura swam out from the imperial decree and pierced into Su Wen's sea of literature at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This is a wisp of holy power brought by the title of Zhenguo.
Su Wen didn't have time to check, so he said respectfully: "Lord Xie." ”
The person who came smiled faintly and said, "Master Su is polite. After today, I'm afraid I will have to call you Su Zhenguo. This thanks, Ash didn't dare to take it. ”
Su Wen invited the other party to Lin Huaju to drink a cup of tea and wine. Lord Gray excused himself again, saying that he still needed to rush back to Yicheng to resume his life, so Su Wen didn't stay for long, and the other party turned over and rode away.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Su Wen's body, and Su Wen was smiling and calm.
I don't know who it is. Suddenly reacted, bowed down, and shouted: "I've seen Su Zhenguo!"
For a while, everyone remembered that Su Wen was now a genuine Zhenguo tribute student, and according to the holy law, anyone who served the following positions saw him and had to bow down!
Immediately, there was another sound of kneeling down. Among them, of course, there are some people who did not salute, and Mu Xi did not salute, because she did not need to kneel in front of Emperor Wei. What's more, Su Wen and Chai Nan did not salute, he was a native of Yan State, so what did the Zhenguo Gongsheng of the Patriotic State have to do with him? Tang Ji naturally did not need to salute. Because Su Wen is his brother.
Rao was so, facing a large crowd of kneeling worshippers. Su Wen finally seemed a little at a loss, and the previous calmness finally turned into a little restrained. He sighed helplessly and said to everyone: "You don't have to be formal, get up!"
After saying that, everyone got up one after another, but their expressions looked extremely complicated.
Once upon a time, Su Wen was still the same as them, a person who took the exam in the suburbs of the city, but now, he was not only promoted to Gongsheng in advance, but also was given the title of Gongsheng of Zhenguo, which is really more death than people!
However, this situation did not last too long, after all, Su Wen was given the title of Zhenguo, which is just a small episode today, the reason why everyone gathered outside the Holy Inquisition, what they did was not to witness Su Wen's achievement of the name of Zhenguo, but to wait for the state examination to be released!
And now, the door of the Holy Inquisition finally opened slowly, and a white-clothed court official, holding a thick silk book, walked out.
The state exam is finally going to be released.
The crowd also fell silent in an instant, and no one discussed Su Wen's name of Zhenguo anymore.
Behind the white-clothed court officials, there were also two columns of salute officers, holding twenty salutes in their hands, and every time a name was announced, a cannon would be fired into the sky to congratulate them.
Although such procedures and etiquette seem a little simple and monotonous, it is a great honor for the thousands of candidates waiting in the field at this time.
Everyone wants their name to be cheered and worshiped by everyone in the salute.
The first to be announced was the B list, and although the ten names on it lost the opportunity to enter the academy to study, they were still able to be promoted to the rank of Gongsheng Wen, which can also be said to be the beginning of ten years of hard study.
As the white-clothed official began to roll call, the salute exploded in the air, and bursts of cheers and applause gradually sounded in the crowd, and the candidates whose names were read had different expressions, some were ecstatic, obviously beyond their expectations, some looked calm, as if they were expected, and some looked lonely and regretful, probably because they failed to enter the first list, and they were unwilling.
The people who can enter the second list are almost all candidates who are well-known in Huizhou Prefecture, including outstanding students from several major private schools, as well as young ladies from some ministries and yamen, and well-known old students who regretted falling off the list in the last session.
Of course, Su Wen didn't know any of these people.
After the entire list of B lists was announced, Su Wen really felt nervous, he was nervous, not for himself, but for Tang Ji.
Because until the last name of the second list, it is not Tang Ji.
Tang Ji's strength is geometric, I'm afraid Su Wen is the most vocal, after all, the two of them face each other day and night in Lin Huaju, preparing for the exam together, so Su Wen knows that Tang Ji can't be admitted to the academy, and the best situation is to compete for the B list, and now the list of ten people on the B list has been announced, but he doesn't hear Tang Ji's name.
That means that Tang Ji is off the list?
