The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 680
Emperor Jinghe couldn't help being amused as he saw Sheng Yuan leading the nine people approaching slowly.

This little girl stood in front of the nine people with her head held high and her chest held high, without the slightest tension and restraint of other officials, she seemed to be more natural and stable than the cabinet ministers.

He didn't want who gave it the confidence, but felt that he was the one who watched him grow up, that is, he had an extraordinary bearing.

Thinking of the girl who grew up under his own watch, Jing Hedi suddenly saw the chubby little figure from more than ten years ago, and that naive image gradually overlapped with the slightly plump big girl in front of him.

This made Jing Hedi a little dazed, and he couldn't help but sigh at the speed of time, and in the blink of an eye, it was "children have grown up, and strong men have been born in vain".

Slightly sighing for a moment, Jing and Di's attention was finally allocated to other people.

And among these nine people, he was very interested in another girl, Chao Wensheng, No. 1 in the second class.

"You know, if you didn't have a mistake in the last sentence of the question and answer question, you would be one of the top three!" Jing Hedi laughed and said this thunderous statement.

Those who heard the words were not only surprised by Sanding Jia, but also the lords who were ranked after Chao Wensheng.

Thinking that if it wasn't for Chao Wensheng's non-compliance with his writing, he would have been kicked out of the first rank, and No. 3 Lang Jun's complexion suddenly became a little complicated.

Only Sheng Yuan didn't think much about it, but looked up at Jing and Emperor in bewilderment.

Seeing everyone's reaction like this, Jing He nodded at Emperor Shengyuan: "Your position is very stable! Chao Gongshi's answers are excellent, but I'm a little behind you in the end."

It's okay if Jing Hedi didn't add this sentence, he gave Sheng Yuan a reassurance, but he didn't want No.2No.3's emotions to be more complicated.

Especially No.2, who thought he had the talent of No. [-], the reason why he retreated to the second place is that Sheng Yuan has five yuan, so he did it expediently.I don't want the emperor's words to refute all his reasons for comforting himself, making him feel so ashamed that he has nowhere to hide.

And Chao Wensheng, who has received attention, is also sad. She is not quick enough in writing, but she is calm and down-to-earth. Therefore, when answering the paper, she dared not write all the essays in the draft, but only made an outline.

However, due to her lack of experience, the end of her answer sheet was the last line on the last page of the exam paper. According to the regulations, the last sentence of the examinee's answer sheet is usually required to write: "The minister is a newcomer to learning, ignorant of taboos, hard-working and strict, invincible Li Yuyue is coming, and I respect you."

The space for filling in was limited, so she could only bite the bullet and abbreviate in the end, and finally shortened it to: "I'm a new student, I'm trembling, I'm right."

After finishing writing, she felt that she was going to be at the bottom of the three families. If she hadn't failed the imperial examination, she was ready to retake the exam.

It's just that I didn't expect that I would become the number one in the top two!

Hearing the emperor's voice, Chao Wensheng guessed that his ranking must be based on the emperor's hard work!
Immediately, her admiration and gratitude to Jing Hedi reached its peak.

At this moment, her loyalty to Jing Hedi became more and more firm.

Emperor Jing He looked at the emotion that flashed in Chao Wensheng's eyes, and nodded in satisfaction.

He is not guilty of receiving this girl's loyalty!

If he hadn't been idle and bored and asked the examiner to submit all the girls' test papers, he would not have discovered Chao Wensheng, a dusty pearl.

At that time, he laughed and asked all the examiners: "This woman has a talent, why not take it?"

However, the examiners insisted on not allowing Chao Wensheng to enter the first class on the grounds that Chao Wensheng's answers did not meet the regulations.

Although Emperor Jinghe loved his talent, Chao Wensheng did have flaws at the end of his answer sheet, so after seeing and seeing with the examiner and cabinet ministers, they compromised with each other, and this was how Chao Wensheng ranked first in the top two.

After talking with two girls in a row, Jing Hedi finally talked with the other eight gentlemen one by one.

This process, looked quite satisfactory, nothing special.

This interview with the emperor is an inherent procedure after the palace examination, and the world calls this "Xiao Chuan Lu".

In fact, it didn't take long for Sheng Yuan and the ten of them to leave the palace from entering the palace, but such a process meant that the ranking of the palace examination was settled.

"It's really the leader?!" As soon as Sheng Yuan got home, she saw her parents surrounded her from afar, and asked with concern.

"That's not true!" Sheng Yuan didn't have the humility when he was outside in front of his family. He raised his head proudly, and waved his hands confidently and flamboyantly, "That's called, you can grab it with your hands!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Sheng Xiangxun was sure that his family should be able to receive the good news tomorrow, and immediately rubbed his hands excitedly, calling for the butler to make arrangements with the accountant. Sprinkle silver!
……

Now that the ranking of candidates for the palace examination has been determined, it is natural to arrange for Chuanlu to be listed.

Basically, the reading of papers in three days is over, and the fourth day after the palace examination is the day of roll call.

The name given to the first is said to be passed on.

On the early morning of May [-]th in Shengyuan, he dressed properly to participate in the ceremony of passing on the coffin; soon after, several teams of government officials who announced the good news headed towards Yongxing Hou's mansion with drums and gongs.

Don't look at the Chuanlu Hall the next day after marking the papers, the schedule is too tight, in fact the preparations before the Chuanlu Ceremony are still very sufficient.

It can be said that the preparations for the Ceremony of Chuanlu were completed by the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War in conjunction with Honglu Temple, Shuntian Prefecture and Zhili County.

Such careful preparations fully demonstrated the solemnity of the Ceremony of Passing on Lulu.

As for the well-known tribute scholars in Shengyuan, before participating in the Chuanlu Ceremony, they had to go to the Imperial College to receive Jinshi scarves.

This kind of "hat is made of soap gauze, with a slightly flattened top and a hanging belt; the clothes are dark blue robes with wide sleeves" Jinshi scarves are not given to the tributes. , is to be returned to the Imperial College.

It was the first time Sheng Yuan wore such clothes, and tried to walk a few steps.

Although there are no mirrors around, the changing room is full of girls on the list, so looking at other girls is similar to looking in a mirror.

Holding a pot made of locust wood in his hand, Sheng Yuan nodded confidently.

……

When Sheng Yuan and Tongnian arrived at the court hall, they found that all civil and military officials were already waiting outside, the honor guards of the internal guards, and the music troupe of the Jiaofang Division were all in place.

After the deacons finished their salutes, the Honglu Temple officials began to play, and the music immediately burst into loud music.

Under the guidance of the officials of Honglu Temple, these new Jinshi in Shengyuan came down to their positions and stood up. When the deacon gave a salute, they knelt down according to the etiquette taught before, and listened to the announcement.

The first sentence of Chuanluguan is: "On May [-]th of the seventh year of Jinghe, the world's tribute scholars will be tested. The first class will be awarded Jinshi and rank, the second class will be awarded Jinshi's background, and the third class will be awarded with Jinshi's background."

After the announcement, he began to roll the roll:
"No.1 Shengyuan in the first class!"

Sheng Yuan, who was fully focused on the Chuanlu official, suddenly heard his name sang, although he had been prepared for a long time, he also felt like countless fireworks blooming above his head at this moment!
