See you in the world

Chapter 732
A few days may not be long, but the entire capital is shrouded in a cheerful and depressing atmosphere of contradictions. The cheerful theme cannot escape this imperial examination. Release the emotions of many years like venting, and the depression is because the final result has not yet come out. No one knows whether they will be on the list. It is a blessing to be on the list, but it means that many years of hard work have been wasted. Taken a hit, can you play better next time with shadows?

Many candidates will subconsciously deny themselves in their hearts if they fail the exam for the first time, and then they will be depressed and fail the exam all the time, wasting their lives in vain.

In addition, the most talked about is Yunjing. They are curious about what kind of results he can achieve. Many places are waiting to open, but there is no news before the list is announced.

It’s not that no one thought that Yunjing would fail the list, but thinking about it, it’s a little impossible. After all, it exists in the mythical realm. The thinking alone is beyond ordinary people’s imagination. I’m afraid the books he reads in a day exceed countless decades. Standing at such a height, the perspective is different, and a little writing is the essentials of governing the country.

When ordinary scholars are still in the wind and snow, they look at the people of the world and the future of their family and country. How can such a situation compare?
Therefore, almost no one doubts that Yunjing is on the list. It is estimated that there is no problem in the first list, and even the top three are very popular.

This time, the last four major talents in the imperial examination participated except chess king Xia Mo. Who will be the No. [-] scholar in the second place?

Of the four great talents, Xia Mo led the Northern Expedition and it was impossible to participate in the imperial examination, because there were five of the four great talents plus Wu Jun, so if one was missing, four would participate.

In fact, in the recent competition among the four great talents, the name of Mr. Hua is somewhat inaccurate. Folks say that there were actually six of the four great talents. There are still not many landscape paintings...

The turmoil in the outside world has not affected Yunjing, his life is still peaceful, and more attention is paid to the two paperweights that carried his spiritual will away. Although the catastrophe of foreign civilizations is coming fiercely, the world is too big. The two paperweights he sent out did not encounter the presence of mythical combat forces coming from foreign lands in a few days, but it was inevitable to see too many tragic scenes after the disasters of foreign civilizations, so he would not be vague when it was time to 'take action'.

It is equivalent to traveling around the world even if he is in the capital of Dali. There must be some means that can be achieved at this stage of the mythical realm, but definitely not many!
Unknowingly, it came to the day when the rankings were released. Even if you didn't go out, you could feel the restless atmosphere in the whole capital. Countless people were heading towards the square outside the palace, wanting to know who the new scholars were in the first place.

People who have nothing to do with the imperial examination are just to watch the excitement, and it would be better to do some small business to make money by the way, while the candidates and their families who participate in the imperial examination are related to their fate. You must know the weight of a Jinshi, even a big family is very important. Growing up is likely to be about the direction of the family.

However, this day is also extremely 'dangerous' for the new Jinshi who is about to be announced, because there are already countless ladies who are waiting to be admitted to arrange manpower to prepare for the list to catch their son-in-law...

The square outside the palace is very large, big enough to accommodate 2 million people. In the history of the Dali Dynasty, many military inspections have been held in this square. Every time there is a war, it will be here to swear an oath. What if the place is not big enough.

The list of new scholars will be announced on the square. For this reason, the Dali Dynasty erected a ten-foot-tall screen wall hundreds of years ago. Usually, some major national decisions will be posted on it. The main function is to announce the list of new scholars. The [-] names of Xinke Jinshi will be kept on it for more than half a year. This is the honor of Xinke Jinshi, and it also has a part of stimulating students' enthusiasm for reading.

Countless people can see it as soon as they look up when they come here. What a sight it would be if their names could stay on it?
This morning when Yun Jing woke up, he found that the whole house was filled with festive atmosphere. Those who didn't know it thought it was a holiday. He knew that the servants were all looking forward to his achievements, and they were more excited than himself.

"Where's Xiao Song?" Yun Jing asked Qing Mei who was beside Hou during breakfast.

She immediately said with a smile on her face, "Master, Steward Song is going to arrange manpower to occupy a favorable position. The custodian saw the announcement of the list of Jinshi in the new department as soon as possible. I heard that Mr. Tu took people there in person. I don't think there are many people in the front seat." can beat them"

The top players in the late stage of Zhenyi Mirror told others to occupy the position, just to see the list announced as soon as possible. Isn't this a bit too much?

Yunjing was happy, let them go, anyway, idle is idle, and usually there are not many opportunities to play around like this.

After a while Song Yan rushed over, Qingmei bowed slightly and retreated.

Yun Jing looked up at Song Yan and said with a smile: "Xiao Song, what is your status in such a hurry, didn't you tell you to be prudent at all times?"

Song Yan immediately straightened his face. You must know that he usually represents the young master of his own mythology. If he is not stable enough, he will lose Yunjing's face. But this day he was excited about Yunjing, so he didn't pay attention.

He hurriedly said: "Young master, I have already asked Tuwei to occupy a favorable position, and I will report to you as soon as the list is announced, and then I will have the happy money ready. I'm happy, by the way, everyone in this house has a share, just wait for the person who announces the good news to arrive."

"Well, just look at the arrangements. Although our family is not as good as those wealthy families, don't be too stingy." Yun Jingting nodded and said jokingly: "Xiao Song is so sure that the young master can be on the list." ?”

"What did the young master say? If the young master can't get on the list, then there must be shady things in the imperial examination this time, and they even deliberately targeted the young master," Song Yan half-jokingly said.

Not entangled so much, Yun Jing said: "Come with me to the square outside the palace later."

"Young Master, you want to go in person? There are so many people, if you offend the Young Master... Well, they have to have the ability. I mean, the Young Master is completely unnecessary. As a result, the guardians will send it back as soon as possible. , the storage is faster than the one who announces the good news, and it is no different from the young master going there in person," Song Yan said in amazement.

Yun Jing said: "It's exciting. I have studied for many years, and I have an explanation for my study career. I went to see the rankings in person. It's not that I am eager to know the results, but I feel that there is always something missing without this process."

"That's it, then I'll make arrangements so that Master Custodian can go to the front as soon as possible," Song Yan nodded, indicating that he would make arrangements immediately.

There was no need for Yun Jing to stop him, he would just appear in the front row at that time, no matter how many people there were, it would be impossible to stop him.

Yun Jing didn't ask at all about the examination papers and markings by the imperial court, and he didn't use his own means to find out, just let things take their course.

The announcement was at noon, Yun Jing was not in a hurry, the sun was getting higher and higher, and he took Song Yan to go there when it was almost time, and he appeared directly at the front of the place where the announcement was made. No one around felt strange, as if they had been right there.

The Zhaobi where the list is announced is on a huge step, surrounded by soldiers guarding, and no one is allowed to approach within ten steps of the step so as not to affect the release of the list.

After coming here, looking around, the entire huge square can be described as a sea of ​​people, the black crowd is full of people's heads looking forward to it, and the noisy environment is mixed with "don't squeeze, my shoes fell off, who touches my ass, I'm a man" and so on. If so, tense and cheerful.

Especially those students who took part in the exam, some were trying to calm themselves down, they were actually so nervous that they needed someone to help them, after all it was about their own future, but there was also that kind of confidence people.

Qiuhu is at the time when he is vicious, and people are waiting for the list to be announced but they can't care about the vicious sun.

"Master, there are a lot of people with 'bad intentions' in the crowd. They hold sticks wrapped in cotton cloth, and their gazes are a little scary. They clearly want to rob people, but don't worry, Master, Tuwei and I will protect you. ", Song Yan looked around and said in a low voice.

It's perfectly normal to catch a son-in-law under the list. If he is still single, Yun Jing might have to advise Song Yan, don't mind your own business...

Countless people were waiting anxiously. When the sun was high, the gate of the imperial palace in the distance opened slowly, and a group of people walked out. Suddenly, there was a brief silence in the entire huge square, and then there was a loud noise, as if a pot had exploded.

The imperial examination was a major event, so it was naturally not the turn of a feminine eunuch to announce the list, but an elegant middle-aged official wearing a fourth-rank official uniform presided over it.

Someone recognized the presiding official, who was ranked second in the imperial examination ten years ago, and now he is ranked as a fourth-rank bachelor in Wenyuan Pavilion. It has only been more than ten years since he became a fourth-rank official from a commoner. The gold content of Jinshi on the list is high, and the promotion is just going up.

Behind him was a guard of honor with hundreds of people. The list was covered by red silk and carried out by four people. It can be seen that the standard of the list of Xinke Scholars is very high.

The people who came out of the palace came directly to the screen wall on the high platform. When the fourth-rank bachelor saw the crowd below, there was obviously some emotion in his eyes, after all, that's how he came here before.

He glanced at the audience, there were too many people, he didn't notice Yun Jing and greeted him specially, but said loudly: "There are talents from generation to generation in Jiangshan, who have studied hard for ten years, how many days and nights, how much sadness, but It’s admirable, I have it now, I am honored by Your Majesty to announce the list of Jinshi in the new department, no matter what the result is, I hope you will not forget your original intention, and release the list in the new department!"

After he finished speaking, he stepped to the side, and the next name on the list was the protagonist.

The red silk covering the list was lifted, revealing a huge red scroll underneath, with golden cloud patterns on the scroll and tied with a gold belt.

Several members of the innate realm looked at each other, untied the troubled list, each took a corner, used lightness kung fu to escape, spread the list and posted it on the huge screen wall.

The whole process took only a few breaths. Since then, the list of Shinke Scholars was officially announced, members of the guard of honor pushed away, and [-] names of Shinke Scholars faced the crowd in the square.

Countless pairs of eyes stared at the big red list. In an instant, there was no doubt that all kinds of living beings were in various states. Some were happy and some were sad, some were crying immediately, some were laughing, some were beating their chests and feet, and some were so surprised that they fell into a coma. ...

On the huge red list, at the top is the list of [-] Scholars in the First Ranking List written in golden pen and ink, shining brightly in the sun, and below that is the list of [-] Scholars in the Second and Third Classes, outlined in silver pen and ink, still dazzling.

This is an honor that belongs to Xinke Jinshi, and the name of the same Jinshi is not on it. After all, it is a bit embarrassing for the same Jinshi to be on the same level, so I will notify you in a separate way.

After the list was announced, crowds of people rushed out of the palace to announce the good news to all parties. This is a rare time to make extra money. Every new scholar, no matter how poor he is, will not be stingy in borrowing money at this time.

There is only the difference between the A list and the B-C list. In addition, they are both Xinke jinshi. Taking into account the face of scholars, the list does not represent the ranking. That is to say, as long as everyone is on the list, everyone is the same. It is an unwritten unspoken rule.

The reason for this is that they are both Jinshi of the new department, and they will be officials next. If the list represents the ranking, if the official position at the bottom is higher than the one before the ranking, wouldn't it be embarrassing at that time?What if you meet someone who is small-minded or even become enemies because of the ranking, so the list does not represent the ranking.

Of course, the top three after the palace examination is another matter, it is a special gift from the emperor for setting an example for literati, who dares to question it?

"Master, look quickly, you got it, you got it, you're on the first list, congratulations, master, congratulations, master." Song Yan browsed the list immediately after it was posted, and shouted excitedly when he saw Yunjing's name. It must be like something.

No wonder he was so excited. A Jinshi is the ultimate dream of every scholar, and he was not eligible for the imperial examination because of his slave status. Yunjing's achievements represent that his status has risen with the tide.

It's not that he's not stable enough, it's really hard to keep calm in this kind of thing.

Rao Yunjing was also a little excited, after all years of study finally gave him a satisfactory result, a subconscious smile appeared on his face, and said: "I saw it, I saw it, be steady and steady, have you forgotten what I warned you?"

"Aren't I happy for the young master?" Song Yan said cheerfully, thinking that the young master told me to be cautious, and you are so happy that you don't know where to put it, but he dare not say such words.

The name of Yunjing on the list is in the first list, in the middle position, not conspicuous before the exam, nor at the back to look like the tail of the crane. Although the names on the list do not represent the ranking, it is obvious that the person who wrote the list has also given careful consideration. Don't let Yun Jing get too much attention, and don't let him get too far behind.

I have to say that the [-] names in the first list are the most eye-catching. Although the second and third lists are both new subjects, they are still a bit bleak compared to the first list. However, the list has been announced and the results have been confirmed. No one would dare to question it at this time.

More than 300 candidates participated in the imperial examination, but only [-] people made it to the list. How cruel?Countless people can only bury their sadness and bitterness in their hearts. Some people will be devastated because of this, while others will continue to work hard.

There are all kinds of beings in the boiling square, but the people on the list have become fragrant grasshoppers. If they are recognized, they immediately become the objects of scramble.

Looking at the picture in front of him, the fourth-grade bachelor who presided over the announcement of the list stood on the high platform in front of the list again, and he said loudly under the eyes of everyone: "Congratulations to all the new scholars, I understand your feelings at this time, I am happy In addition, I have to say that this only means the end of your study career, and your life is just beginning. After entering the court as an official, I hope you will show what you have learned and do your best to serve the court and benefit the people. Don't be discouraged, just keep trying."

Having said that, he paused for a moment and continued: "The new division is over, all the new division jinshi are happy, and the second and third jinshis don't forget to move to Deyuelou to participate in the Luming Banquet at night, haha, don't be greedy when you go, Tomorrow morning, I have to make a pilgrimage to meet His Majesty, and I will arrange your whereabouts at that time, and then, all the first-ranked scholars, prepare to go to the court to meet His Majesty, Your Majesty can't wait to meet you great talents."

After speaking, he slightly cupped his hands and turned to leave. The task has been completed.

This is the difference between the A-list Jinshi and the B-C Jinshi. The A-list Jinshi has to enter the palace today. In fact, it is a palace examination, and it will go through a process. At that time, His Majesty will hand-picked the No. It is the highlight of this imperial examination and the best achievement of being a scholar at this stage, but there is no need to explain it clearly at this time, and we still have to take into account the mood of the second and third ranks. .

As for the Scholars of B and C, going to the Luming Banquet is also a celebration for the end of their study careers by the imperial court. They will go to the pilgrimage tomorrow to meet the emperor and arrange a place to go. The most important thing is that whether the performance at the Lu Ming Banquet can catch the eyes of some people is likely to be related to the starting point and whereabouts of the next official career. Whether they can seize the opportunity depends on them.

If you perform well, you will be able to stay in the capital for further study as an official. If there is any vacancy in the future, you will be directly airborne. Hard to say.

Everyone in the square was 'robbing people'. Fortunately, Tubo and the others were protecting them, but no one could get close to Yunjing and the others.

Song Yan urged: "Master, let's go to the palace to face the saint. I'm at home, and I will make sure that everyone who is happy with you will make arrangements for you..., uh, in fact, there is no need to worry so much."

He was also so happy that he couldn't find the north. It is normal for a new top-ranked Jinshi to go to the palace examination. Normally, there is no reason for His Majesty to wait?But he quickly realized that his young master is in the mythical realm, and usually the emperor has to make an appointment in advance if he wants to meet...

Yun Jing didn't take it seriously, nodded and said: "Well, you guys go back first, I'll go into the palace, and I'll go back after I'm done."

After a little explanation, Yun Jing headed towards the palace. Speaking of which, as a Dali man, he had been to the Sangluo Palace many times, but this was the first time he had set foot in the Dali Palace.

The list is announced in one day, the top three in the palace examination are determined to be announced to the world, and the deer crowing banquet for the second and third rankings will be held. The whereabouts of the new division Jinshi will be determined the next day. It is estimated that there will be a cross-horse parade. So eager, in fact, for countless scholars, the imperial examination is a major event in life, but for the country, it is actually nothing. After all, the imperial examination will be held every few years, and the high-level officials have long been used to it and looked down on it.

There is a resting and waiting area outside the palace. When Yunjing came, there were already some first-ranked scholars waiting here. It was said that Emperor Dali was waiting for these first-ranked scholars. went to have an audience.

Yunjing, who came first, was not familiar with Jinshi Yunjing. Everyone had smiles on their faces and congratulated each other.

Although he was not familiar with them, Yun Jing still recognized a few people, among them were Chen Yihao and Xiang Wenxin among the four most recent talents. Jing didn't find it strange at all. Although the Four Great Talents were just a nickname, it also reflected their intellectual strength from the side.

Yun Jing was not familiar with them, but there was no one who didn't know Yun Jing. Facing Yun Jing, these new Jinshi seemed somewhat reserved, even though they were both Xinke Jinshi, Yunjing was different from them.

Fortunately, Yunjing is easy to get along with, and a group of Xinke Jinshi gradually relaxed a little bit. Although it is rare to meet someone like Yunjing, they still restrained themselves and did not try to get close at this time. If they could please them, it would be their dream However, if it arouses Yunjing's resentment, I am afraid that even the Jinshi's fame will fly away.

What's more, their integrity as scholars has not been polluted by setting foot in the officialdom, and they still need to save face more or less, and they can't do deliberate flattery and flattery.

To be honest, at this point, these new scholars are already qualified to be proud princes in white clothes, but who can be proud in the face of mythology?There are often new Jinshi, and there may not be one in the mythical realm in a hundred years. To be listed in the imperial examination in the same year as Yunjing is enough for them to brag about for a lifetime, and this honor even surpasses the Jinshi itself!
Those who can be admitted to Jinshi are not idiots. They know very well in their hearts that being able to be in the same year as Yunjing this time is already a huge capital.

In fact, this is similar to "Conglong Zhigong". Being in the same age as Yunjing is equivalent to putting a halo on them. On the surface, people restrain themselves, but in their hearts they don't know what happiness looks like.

If he had known that there would be such an opportunity, the last Jinshi regretted it so much that his intestines were green. After a few years of being the same year as Yunjing, I am afraid that he will be on the top by now, right?
Face to face with the emperor's palace examination, no Jinshi dared to neglect, they quickly arranged the rounds, and within half an hour, all the [-] first-ranked Jinshi arrived.

"His Majesty's oral order is to invite the newly-ranked Jinshi to enter the pilgrimage to see you"

After all the staff arrived, a eunuch came to deliver a message.

Just passing this sentence is worth scrutinizing, it's just a new scholar, worthy of your majesty's request?It is enough for them to go to see them. Needless to say, the reason why they are invited is of course because Yunjing is among them...
