Han Ling went back with Meng Ju in the morning after spending a night of cheating, and they also had a celebration after the exam last night, but because most of them still had to participate in the martial arts test, they didn't dare to let go of the fun, so it was not as interesting as the two of them going out alone...... Although it doesn't serve any purpose -

Meng Ju said goodbye to the flat-chested girl in the early morning sunshine, just like the eve of the elopement of men and women in the seventies and eighties of the last century.

The flat-chested girl said gloomily: "Master Meng, I can't send you anymore." ”

Meng Ju took her hand and said, "Xiaoqin, I'm ......"

The girl looked up at him, "Will you come to see me again?"

Han Ling was looking at the consumption bill of the Jade Pavilion on the side, and interjected at the right time: "Girl, Xiaosheng has a lot to say, the consumption of alcohol in your store is not very reasonable...... It should be ...... like this."

Meng Ju and the girl fell silent.

On the bridge, the two groups turned their heads and left at the same time.

The two walked away, and Meng Ju breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Han knows me, a good assist." ”

Han Ling looked at the water flowing slowly under the bridge, glowing with a faint ripple, and said indifferently: "The cannon ...... I made an appointment"

Meng Ju suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha......! Feel like you're more watery?"

Han Ling: "...... If you don't want to die, don't talk. ”――

Ten days went by in a flash.

It is still the same as before, but this time it is the examiner who sets up a high platform in front of the palace Changming Palace, that is, the meeting hall, all the candidates must be present, and the ranking of the civil and military examinations is read down in turn, and the officials of the imperial capital are on both sides, and the candidates have to come forward to thank the envelope, and the scene is extreme

It's grandiose.

Candidates who participate in the palace examination, no matter what their results are, there is always an official to do, and the promotion order of Daqi is that no matter what the results are, they will be delegated to their place of origin to be a small official, which is the so-called "new member". When they become familiar with local affairs, they will be transferred to other states to become governors. But it is not an easy task to be an official in the imperial capital, and it is often because of seniority or special promotion by the emperor. When they get old, many old adults will invite themselves out of Beijing and go back to the local government to have a leisurely time.

Of course, there are also those who hold on to the power and don't let go, so the wind review will not be so good. In the end, even under the pressure of public opinion, the emperor had to clear out the nail households and make room for the latecomers.

Before dawn that day, the sentient beings were woken up by the morning service of the innkeeper who had booked in advance, and some people were so excited that they didn't sleep all night.

Han Ling got up and changed into a formal student shirt, with wide sleeves in a green coat, weak and amorous. When I opened the door, the deep and shallow students in green shirts outside were all rushing out, nervously comforting each other.

He walked down the stairs with the flow of people and ate at the same table with a few people, these beasts changed their clothes and looked really human, especially He Xuan and Shide, the older ones wore navy blue, He Xuan deliberately retouched his appearance, and he looked handsome and steady, which made the ignorant girl want to entrust her for life......

Shide cherished his new clothes, for fear of eating them, so he ran away with a steamed bun and chicken legs.

He Xuan took out the mirror and looked at the painted eyebrows, and said disdainfully: "I said, no." ”

Meng Ju laughed: "I suddenly remembered the story that Han Ling told me about fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter." ”

He Xuan snorted coldly and did not comment.

The officials of the Rite House were already waiting outside, and before the time came, they hurriedly urged the sentient beings to set off.

Everyone took a carriage to the outside of the palace gate, got off and walked.

At this time, the sky is faintly bright, the two moons each sink to the horizon, and a ray of light appears on the layers of tiles, flashing orange-red sunrise.

The red palace walls meander endlessly, and the palace castle, which occupies one-third of the imperial city, stands silently in the morning summer mist. The white stone is paved with white stones, and the relief of flowers and plants and beasts is endless.

The early days of civil and military officials were beyond the imagination of mortals, and many elderly officials complained that this was simply a dehumanizing destruction of an old bone. When Han Ling and the others stepped on the lotus relief and came to Changming Palace, the extremely spacious three-level platform in front of the palace gate was already overcrowded.

Daqi takes four as auspicious and nine as respect, and when he comes, the nine steps on the road are the first platform, and the guards stay here. The next nine levels are the second level, and the civil and military officials are divided into two sides. The next nine levels are the three-level platform, and during the grand ceremony, the emperor and his concubines will set up a temporary crown and honor guard at the highest place.

The cold wind of the late summer morning Chinese officials were frozen like quails in water, and the military generals were as strong as pigs and dogs, and they were not afraid. From top to bottom, the colors change and look solemn.

Almost all the officials of the Rite Mansion are busy running around like little mice, one will direct the candidates who enter the palace to arrange in order, and the other will arrange song and dance ceremonies, the flags are fluttering, and the tiger Jiao totem, the symbol of the dynasty of Daqi, can be seen everywhere.

Tiger Jiao, that is, the tiger striped dragon, is said to be the mount of the founding emperor You, and he conquered the world with him. This kind of auspicious beast is more common than dragons and phoenixes, and it is more real. The crown of the Great Qi Emperor is inlaid with the teeth of the tiger Jiao, maybe he can see this crown today.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the costumed ceremonial officials on the high platform sang three announcements, and in an instant, the guard of honor was held high, and the bells and drums rang in unison. The eaves are like the wings of a bird stacked layer upon layer at the back of the main hall, flashing with golden light, with the rising sun, the point of light continues to change angles, a long line flashed behind the main hall, and the blue-clothed attendant slowly opened the door of the hall.

The morning wind swept the dragon qi from the long twenty-seven white jade stairs up the gate of the palace, and the most noble person of the entire dynasty, Emperor Qi Jianting, stepped out of the palace surrounded by all the palace maids and attendants. Wearing a crystal imperial crown with tassels and beads on the front and back, a golden robe is full of grace, and nine tiger Jiao are lifelike when they move.

He walked down from the high platform, and the golden pendulum on the white jade steps showed infinite glory. The officials knelt down in turn, the official robes followed the morning glow, and the brocade reflected colorful colors. Qi Huang stopped on the secondary platform and waved his hand silently.

The ceremonial officer said in a loud voice: "The officials of the three divisions are out of line. ”

The officials walked out of the six people in order, lined up in the center of the platform, and stood solemnly.

The attendant stepped down from the high platform and distributed the scroll in his hand to the three chiefs.

The Great Qi Imperial Examination finally took 4936 as the first column, then 36 as the second column, and the last 36 as the final column. A total of one hundred and eight people are one good, and so on all the 1,000 and eighty candidates are included, and these six people are announced from back to front. Then the commanders of the left and right divisions of soldiers and horses read out the rankings of the martial arts, and only nine goodness were taken, one hundred and eight people less than the text.

Most of the people gathered here are the children of large families from all over the world, waiting straight in the cold wind early in the morning, just for a future.

Han Ling stood a few positions in front of him, watching the six people. One of them is very young, with a face like a crown of jade, full of spring breeze, and he will undoubtedly be the upstart Xi Manning. Another special person is Master Cui, Han Ling once pretended to be that subordinate. This Master Cui practiced a strange set of exercises, and he had dark green hair, which was quite conspicuous among black-haired people.

Cui's face is soft and delicate, and his eyes are charming, even though he is nearly middle-aged, he looks amiable. I heard that one of his daughters was regarded as the pearl of his palm, and was selected by Emperor Qi to marry into the palace and be the queen's lower Yin Yi.

Han Ling was drowsy from the sun on the third-level platform, and waking up too early in the morning really didn't fit his style at all.

In a trance, he heard the names of Shide and Meng Ju. Thinking about it, Meng Ju, this kid is usually muddy, and he must have come out first from back to front. And Shide is more focused on martial arts.

"Fanyang Meng's Shide, the forty-second place in the end...... Fanyang Meng's Meng Ju, the first of the four goodness, ranked ninth. ”

After a long, long time, when I began to recite a good deed.

"Fan Yang Heshi Hexuan, the eleventh place in the first rank...... Fanyang Meng's Hanling, Yishan is the first unicorn position. ”

Han Ling didn't even listen to who the top three were. My heart just kept reverberating.

Fourth in the country. Fourth. Four.

Although the teaching quality of Meng's private school is really excellent, comparable to Hengshui Huanggang, the fourth place in the country is really terrifying.

Old Master Meng will happily cook for himself himself, and he can finally enjoy the treatment of Young Master Huang.

Han Ling thought.
