This censor can handle it, he really sprays when something happens

Chapter 8 The future is bright

The results of the Great Zhou Palace Examination are all released on the same day.

The test papers were handed in at dusk, and the four grading ministers took turns to read more than 100 test papers.

Several hours later, until late at night, the ranking of the palace examination was not evaluated.

Yang Ying, a senior scholar of the palace, wrote the names of each student on the gold list one by one.

Prime Minister Sima Yan held the golden list in his hand, and under the nervous gaze of all the students, handed it to Emperor Tianfu for final confirmation.

Emperor Tianfu took a look at the list, and the first name that caught his eyes was Li Qing.

"Ah."

Emperor Tianfu nodded slightly. As soon as Li Qing's tweet order came out, the other students had no competitiveness at all.

Even if the four reviewing ministers came from aristocratic families, they did not dare to blatantly suppress and exclude poor families at this juncture.

If Li Qing was ranked behind, it would be a blatant contempt for the imperial power.

"Your Majesty, please appoint a Jia."

Yang Ying, a scholar of the palace, said.

Yijia is awarded on the spot, and the starting point is so high that it is far beyond what the later Jinshi can compare.

Known as the four great talents of the new generation by those who have something to do, as well as those students who are aiming for the first grade, all of them tensed up and held their breath, as if anxiously waiting for the judgment of fate.

Emperor Tianfu glanced at the many students in the Tai'an Hall, and said in a hearty voice:

"There are countless talented people in the great Zhou Dynasty. You are all able to stand out from the millions of students. You are all talented people in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I hope you will be able to devote yourself to serving the court and benefiting the people in the future!"

After finishing his opening remarks, Emperor Tianfu looked at Li Qing, "Li Qing of Linping Mansion, started from a humble beginning, studied diligently and made progress. Today, he is the number one scholar, and he will be awarded Jinshi and rank!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Qing was determined.

Being selected as the number one scholar, the official career will go smoothly.

Yijia was appointed on the spot, and the number one scholar was directly awarded the post of editor of the Imperial Academy.

Compiled by the Imperial Academy, from the sixth rank.

The main responsibilities are to master the actual records, record the words and deeds of the emperor, lecture on scriptures and history for the emperor, and also participate in the drafting of some ceremonial manuscripts.

Although the official rank is not high, it is equivalent to the emperor's secretary and can often show his face in front of the emperor.

As long as there are real materials, they can be appreciated by the emperor, which can be said to have a bright future.

The rest of the students heard that Emperor Tianfu hand-picked Li Qing as the number one scholar, although they were still dissatisfied.

But it is no longer dissatisfaction with academic policy.

Instead, he felt aggrieved by Li Qing's mere poor family, and kept them under the pressure time and time again.

"Kong Dexiang, the second in the list of current subjects, will be awarded Jinshi and rank. He will be awarded the editor of the Imperial Academy!"

"Tanhua, Wang Yan, bestowed Jinshi and rank. Awarded Imperial Academy editing!"

Without Li Qing, the established number one pick would be Wang Yan, with Kong Dexiang second.

Now that Li Qing has been hand-picked as the No. [-] scholar, Wang Yan and Kong Dexiang's rankings will naturally go down the list.

It's just that Wang Yan is far superior to Kong Dexiang in appearance.

Therefore, Kong Dexiang's selection has not changed, but Wang Yan's selection has directly dropped by two places, and he has become Tanhua.

Seeing that Kong Dexiang and Wang Yan were selected as the No. [-] and No. [-] candidates, Song Gongwen and Sima Boyan, who were as famous as them, looked so gloomy that they were about to drip water.

To be crowned as one of the Four Great Talents, but not even a first-class Jinshi, is a great embarrassment.

After Emperor Tianfu hand-picked the first and third graders, the second grade Jinshi and the third grade Jinshi will be called by the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

These people cannot be appointed.

Only those who pass the follow-up examination can be awarded the Shujishi of the Imperial Academy.

In another three years, those who pass the examination again will be awarded the Imperial Academy for review and will be appointed as a seventh-rank official.

This starting point is really too far behind from the sixth-rank Hanlin Academy compilation and the seventh-rank Hanlin Academy compilation.

After the roll call of the Tai'an Hall ended, Yang Ying, a scholar of the Cabinet Hall, took a step forward and stopped Emperor Tianfu who was about to leave.

"Your Majesty, according to the rules of etiquette, you should be awarded the number one scholar for editing by the Imperial Academy."

After hearing the words, everyone reacted.

They were only immersed in the fact that Li Qing was hand-picked as the number one scholar, but they forgot that Emperor Tianfu had not conferred on Li Qing yet.

Emperor Tianfu looked at Li Qing and said: "I have other arrangements for Li Qing's appointment. After Li Qing parades through the streets tomorrow, he will immediately enter the palace to attend the court meeting."

After all, he strode away from Tai'an Temple.

All the ministers and students were left in a daze.

Participate in the court meeting?

Your Majesty wants Li Qing to go to court to discuss matters?
All the people here are smart people, and just this one signal can remind them a lot.

Emperor Tianfu wants to reuse Li Qing!

Even enable poor families!
"Congratulations to Brother Li for getting Sanyuan!" After Emperor Tianfu left, Kong Dexiang walked over with a smile, "Brother Li won Sanyuan with a poor family, and he can be called a model for scholars in the world. Your deeds will definitely be recognized in the future." If it is sung, it will leave a name in history and become a good story. I am really envious!"

Li Qing cupped his hands to Kong Dexiang, and said, "Brother Kong is over the top."

"Wang Yan of Qingyuan, I have met Brother Li and Brother Kong."

While Li Qing was talking with Kong Dexiang, Tanhua Wangyan also came over.

"Brother Li, I have racked my brains to come up with some immature ideas about the strategy of cutting down the vassals. What is your favor order, so that His Majesty and the four examiners admire it so much?"

Upon hearing Wang Yan's question, other students were also curious.

He was not in a hurry to leave, so he just stood there and wanted to hear the Tweet Order.

Upon seeing this, Yang Ying, a Grand Master of the Palace Pavilion, hurriedly stopped him. He glared at Wang Yan and scolded, "This is not what you should inquire about!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Li Qing: "The Tweeting Order is a secret of the imperial court. Before His Majesty orders it to be carried out, no matter who asks you, it must not be disclosed."

"Yes."

Li Qing responded.

A candidate's theory was hailed as a court secret by the dignified scholar, which made the rest of the students both amazed and curious.

But no matter what, I dare not continue to ask questions, so I can only go back and ask the elders at home to inquire.

Yang Ying said again: "I see that your calligraphy still has many flaws. When you have time, you can come to my house to sit."

"Thanks to Master Yang's kindness, the students have to go to the house to trouble each other."

Yang Ying's excellent calligraphy and painting are like thunder in the ears of scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Li Qing's calligraphy is all based on his previous life's regular script.

With the guidance of a famous teacher, the progress will be very fast.

Regarding Yang Ying's invitation, he naturally would not pretend to be arrogant and refuse.

As for Yang Ying's purpose to mention him as a junior, it was out of his consideration.

The prime minister, Sima Yan, also walked over with a smile, "Xueshi Yang's calligraphy is the best in the Zhou Dynasty. Changqing, you have to study hard. There are also many rare books in my house. If Changqing is interested, You can come to the house to borrow."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Faced with Prime Minister Sima Yan's overtures, Li Qing also saluted and thanked him.

The rest of the students felt extremely sour when they saw that the two power officials in the court were so obviously friendly with Li Qing, as if they had eaten lemons.

The same is a candidate, the same is a Jinshi.

But the difference in treatment between Jinshi and Jinshi is too big!

Their proud origins are not worth mentioning in front of Li Qing at this moment.

Candidates left the venue one by one in frustration.

Just after leaving the palace, Li Qing was about to go back to the restaurant to rest, but Kong Dexiang stopped him.

"Brother Li, don't be in a hurry to go back. I have to tell you something about King Huaixin."
