Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 456
After Prime Minister Pei Mian received the casket in Shangshu Province, he took out the examination paper for the number one scholar hand-picked by the emperor, and called out the name of the number one scholar hand-picked by the emperor to the officials who took part in the invigilation and the officials from the Ministry of Rites.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Zhenqing, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and began to call out the candidates' hometowns and names in turn.

Yan Zhenqing's voice was loud and clear, and Shang Shucheng, who was saved by Shang Shuxing, took up the pen himself, and wrote down the names of the candidates for the Jinshi department and the first degree on the gilded red paper.

Jinshi Division and the list are transcribed with red hot stamping, and Mingjing and the list with red and silver deposits are transcribed.

The names of the first-ranked candidates in Mingshu, Mingfa, and Mingshu can only be copied on ordinary red paper.

This also reflects how much the imperial court attaches importance to the various subjects of the imperial examination, and it can be seen that Jinshi is the most valuable.

The Shangshu Province is the highest administrative agency in the imperial court in name, and the six departments belong to the Shangshu Province. In the early Tang Dynasty, Shangshu's left and right servants were the prime ministers.

However, with the changes of the times, the Sixth Department of Shangshu Management also assumed the important post of prime minister, resulting in the power of prime minister being too powerful.

As a result, the power of the prime minister and the power of Shangshu province were gradually separated, and the emperor used the title of Zhongshu province to confer on the prime minister, that is, to make peace with Zhongshu.

The prime minister no longer concurrently held the position of Shangshu Sheng, and Shang Shusheng gradually lost its authority and became an empty shell department.

The authority of the six ministries has already surpassed that of Shang Shu Sheng. Only when the court holds major events, Shang Shu Sheng has ceremonial work.

However, the imperial examination is a major national event. The official of Shangshu Province brought the red list and was escorted by Zuo Xiaowei to the front of the Imperial College.

This time, almost all the scholars who took the exam gathered in the square in front of the Imperial College.

Today is the day of the list!Han Chuang studied hard for many years in order to be famous all over the world!
And this time the imperial examination is different from the previous ones. After returning to Chang'an in December, the emperor will personally meet the scholars who have passed the examination in the main hall of the Taiji Palace.

It is said that all the scholars who passed the Jinshi examination this time will be awarded officials, and do not need to pass the selection examination by the Ministry of Officials.

The young scholars were very excited, and the square in front of the Guozijian was surrounded by water.

However, most of the people standing on the square at the entrance of the Imperial College are scholars from poor families.

The really rich scholars have already booked the restaurant next to the Imperial College, and sent bookboys and servants to wait in the crowd for the announcement, while they drank in the restaurant and waited for the result of the announcement.

On the edge of the entire square, the best location is Mingyue Tower.

Upstairs in Mingyue Building, the entire building was covered with red silk cloth, Gu Kuang and Wei Yingwu were surprised to climb up Mingyue Building under the leadership of the staff.

"Brother Wang!" Wei Yingwu saw Wang Chengwei who had been "convalescing" for many days, and was surprised to find that he was standing on the Mingyue Tower alive and well, as if he had been severely injured by a rod as rumored.

"Brother Wei, Brother Gu, please take your seat!"

Wei Yingwu looked at the food and drink on the table, and asked in surprise: "Today's Mingyue Tower is the most difficult to order, Brother Wang?"

Wei Yingwu is a descendant of Wei's in Gyeonggi, and he has lived in Chang'an since he was a child.

Mingyue Tower was hard to find on the day when the rankings were released, and those rich and powerful children all showed off their power and wealth by being able to have a seat in Mingyue Tower.

Although Wang Chengwei claimed to be from the Taiyuan Wang family, both Wei Yingwu and Gu Kuang knew that he was from a side branch, and he was incomparable with the real Taiyuan Wang family.

But Wang Chengwei has contracted the entire floor of Mingyue Tower. How much financial resources does this require?

Wang Chengwei, a scholar from Longyou, is so rich?
Wang Chengwei said with a smile: "Wang is just lucky. The boss of Mingyue Building urgently needs Shazhou burning. Wang just took a lead to build a bridge. The boss gave this floor to our Longyou Guild Hall."

Since King Jianning paid tribute to the emperor for Shazhou Burning, and the emperor gave wine to hundreds of officials at the banquet, the name of Shazhou Burning has grown.

Now as many officials return to Chang'an, the name of Shazhou burning has also entered Chang'an.

But Shazhou Burn is only sold by the Longyou Chamber of Commerce. The owner of Mingyuelou wants this kind of high-end wine, which happened to be heard by Wang Chengwei.

Wang Chengwei helped Mingyue Building sign a sales agreement with the Longyou Guild. The boss was naturally very grateful, and on the day the list was released, he allocated a whole floor to the scholars of Longyou.

During this process, Wang Chengwei naturally would not tell Wei Yingwu and Gu Kuang that he just invited them to the table.

Wang Chengwei just smiled and invited the two to sit down, but Gu Kuang was a little restless.

Wang Chengwei cast a questioning look, and Gu Kuang said helplessly:
"Neither of us is accompanied by a schoolboy. Although the Mingyue Tower is comfortable, it is still too torturous to sit here and wait for the results of the announcement. Brother Wang's kindness has touched our hearts, but we still feel more comfortable standing in front of the announcement."

After saying this, Gu Kuang still looked at the pole in the distance, and the list was about to be posted. Even a well-rehabilitated scholar like Gu Kuang couldn't hide his anxiety.

Wang Chengwei said with a smile: "Brother Gu, don't worry, sitting on the Mingyue Tower, can't you see it too?"

"Brother Wang, are you joking? Although Mingyue Tower is the restaurant closest to the imperial list, it is a hundred steps away from the flagpole where the list is posted. Even a sharpshooter can't read the words on the imperial list, right?"

Wang Chengwei smiled and took out two copper cylinders, handed them to Gu Kuang and Wei Yingwu and said, "You two brothers, use these to see."

Wei Yingwu picked up the cylinder and looked at the glass hole with his eyes. He was surprised to find that he could see the scene in the distance!

Wei Yingwu quickly adjusted his direction. He could clearly see the flagpole where the emperor's list was posted, and he could even see the ropes on the flagpole clearly.

Gu Kuang thought a little deeper, and exclaimed, "Brother Wang, is this clairvoyance?"

Wang Chengwei just smiled, and Gu Kuang fondly played with it and said, "If this kind of artifact is used in marching and fighting, wouldn't it be better than a thousand troops?"

This time Wei Yingwu also woke up. Isn't the "clairvoyance" that can observe the situation on the battlefield from a distance a magic weapon to defeat the enemy?

This Wang Chengwei actually possesses such an artifact?
Wang Chengwei said with a smile: "The two of you can feel at ease now, just drink and eat in Mingyue Tower, and use the binoculars in your hand to watch when the list is published."

It turned out that this thing was called a telescope.

Gu Kuang and Wei Yingwu loved playing with it, but they didn't understand how an ordinary copper shell and two glass mirrors could have such an effect.

At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd.

"The list is up!"

The officials of Shangshu Province brought the red list and finally came to the square in front of the Imperial College.

The young scholars all looked forward to it, and even Gu Kuang picked up the binoculars in his hand.

Zuo Xiaowei's soldiers cleared a path, and the officials of Shangshu Province took the red list and walked to the pole where the red list was hung.

A Zhonglang general from Zuo Xiaowei stepped forward and said in a loud voice:
"With His Majesty's will, Shangshutai posted the red list of Jinshi, Mingjing, Mingfa, Mingshu, and Mingzi for the second year in Germany!"

Immediately afterwards, under the witness of General Zhong Lang, the officials of Shangshutai broke the seal, hung the red list on the rope of the pole, and pulled the pulley to pull the red list up.

Wang Chengwei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Datang is really full of atmosphere.

The entire square fell into a frenzied atmosphere. With a wave of his hand, the official of Shangshu Province firstly got the red list of Mingzi, Mingfa, and Mingshu.

"I hit it!"

"bingo!"

Cheers came from the square. Although these three subjects are far less valuable than Jinshi subjects, there are many people admitted, and there is a serious shortage of vacancies in various yamen in Chang'an. This can be regarded as a channel to become an official.

Among the player candidates in Longyou, four of them also applied for these three subjects. Now that all four of them are on the list, everyone congratulates them one after another.

Immediately afterwards, General Zhong Lang, who was standing in front of the red list, said again: "Ming Jing Ke, release the list!"

Mingjing Division's silver betting red list fell, and now the atmosphere in the whole square became hot.

Although Mingjing is not as good as Jinshi, many famous officials in the Tang Dynasty were admitted to Mingjing, and there are not a few official prime ministers.

If you can take the Zhongming classics test, you can always be awarded the county magistrate of Zhongxian County. This is also the official Bailihou of your parents.

This time, the Ming Jing Division admitted a total of 60 people, and the long list fell down. The boys in the front row raised their heads one after another to check if there was their owner's name on it.

"I hit! I hit!"

Upstairs in Mingyue Tower, a player who took the Mingjing Exam saw his name through a telescope.

"I got hit too!"

"Haha, I got hit too!"

"I hit it! Hahahaha!"

"I hit it, I hit it!"

"Congratulations, haha, I won too! Although I am the last one!"

Wei Yingwu and Gu Kuang looked at each other in surprise. Six scholars in Longyou passed the examination of Ming Jing.

You must know that the two capitals of the Tang Dynasty and the eighteen avenues, Longyou have always been the ones with the most backward cultural governance.

It is quite an astonishing result that six people can take the mid-term examination in the Mingjing examination.

You must know that in Jiangnan Road, which has always been prosperous in culture, only five or six people can pass the Mingjing Department.

When did Longyou's education get so good?
But soon, a gilded red list was hung on the pole.

Now Wei Yingwu and Gu Kuang both picked up binoculars and stared at the red list.

However, Wang Chengwei was not nervous at all. Shang Bo had already informed him of the news from the Princess Mansion, and other players had already congratulated him.

With a bang, the most anticipated Jinshi Kebang essay was pulled down!

Wei Yingwu found his name immediately, and then he saw the name of the previous Gu Kuang.

I am the third!
Gu Kuang is the second!

Hit!

Wei Yingwu was attacked by ecstasy, but brother Gu's talent is only second, who is the first?

Wei Yingwu looked up, and the name of Longyou Wang Chengwei was on the top spot.

Wang Chengwei is the champion!
