Cultivation of immortals begins with the appearance of ancestors

Chapter 153 Entering the list, palace examination (big chapter)

The rules of the Dagan court are different from those of the previous court.

Although there were top three in the previous dynasty, it was not only the third class.

Instead, there are five classes.

There are three people in the first class, and twenty-five people in the second class.

The third class and the fourth class each have dozens to hundreds of people.

The fifth class has about the same number of people as the third and fourth class.

Among them, the first class and the second class are collectively referred to as Yijia, which are usually awarded to Jinshi and first-class background.

Second-class and third-class, fourth-class are awarded to the Jinshi family background, and third-class is only given to the same Jinshi-born.

But the Dagan imperial court only had the top three.

There are still [-] first-class scholars, and the number of second-class Jinshi has been greatly reduced. The number is only a little more than the number of first-class Jinshi, about a hundred.

The number of top three and Jinshi is far more than the previous practice.

In the previous dynasty, it was just the opposite. The first class was the least, followed by the third class, but the second class had the largest number of people.

Inside the No. [-] Scholar, many candidates were discussing, most of them were discussing the exam questions, and a few were discussing the most promising candidates to win the championship this time.

However, after discussing and discussing, Zhang Jian found that he seemed to be on the list in the minds of many fellow imperial examiners.

Although he didn't go out to participate in poetry clubs or other activities much, his talent and articles have already been circulated among many scholars.

Zhang Jian knew that this was probably brought about by the fate of Longzhang Fengzi.

This is also a good thing.

To some extent, being famous is also equal to being famous.

If it is on the list, the top ranking is well deserved, and it will not attract many people to question and protest, and it will save a lot of trouble.

……

After a happy gathering, many people left one after another, but Shi Lun couldn't hold back his excitement at this time, quietly pulled Zhang Jian aside, and whispered a news to Zhang Jian.

"Brother Zhang, my father said in a letter that this time Jixian County was able to successfully suppress the penetration and expansion of the Xuandu Sect. The two of us have made great contributions. Junjun Wu mentioned that he will submit a memorial to His Majesty to show our merits!"

At this moment, there was a slight smile on Shi Lun's handsome face, and Zhang Jian looked around, frowning slightly.

"Brother Chengfeng, you didn't mention this to others, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Lun quickly waved his hands.

"Brother Zhang, I naturally know the importance of it, and I didn't mention it to anyone other than Brother Zhang, even the family members around me!"

Zhang Jian warned: "That's good, brother Shi, the exam will only be released for twelve or three days, and when things come to an end, don't be too happy, otherwise you will lose your reputation!"

If you don't keep things secret, you will lose your body, and if you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers.

There have been many examples in Zhang Jian's memory. It was obvious that a promotion was imminent, and he made a publicity around to let his opponent know the news in advance. A hairy mouth.

If this kind of thing spreads everywhere and is known by His Majesty today, who knows what His Majesty thinks, if he thinks that the two of them are crazy and ignorant, and don't know how to be a minister, so they will be relegated, at that time Could it be that you can't even cry?

"What Brother Zhang said is true, I will remember it!"

Shi Lun nodded, his posture caught the eyes of other people in the distance, but they were greatly surprised.

It was beyond many people's expectations that this well-known talented scholar of the Shi family in Jixian County was so convinced of Zhang Jian.

Of course, this also increased Zhang Jian's weight in other people's hearts. Zhang Jian thought he had the ability to subdue a pretentious person like Shi Lun.

……

The time to release the rankings is on the morning of February [-]th.

For more than ten days, Zhang Jian still maintained his habit step by step.

Part of the time is spent on practice, including tempering mana, practicing spells, and using "Holy Virtue Washing Sword Jue" to cultivate the Dragon Chanting Sword.

Part of the time is spent extensively reading ancient books.

Maximize the development of the divine power of the seven orifices and exquisite heart.

The ancient sages with seven orifices and exquisite hearts could comprehend the truth of heaven and earth only from ordinary classics, and then completed the transformation of extraordinary and refined.

Zhang Jian is also working in this direction.

At the same time, it also makes the iron-boned jade heart transform into a benevolent and loyal heart.

If he could push the seven-orifice exquisite mind to the level of a sage's exquisite mind, he believed that it would be of great assistance to him in completing the Dao Fruit in the world of mortals.

And the growth of Qiqiao Linglong's heart is also continuous reading, reading poems and books, and comprehending the ultimate truth of the universe.

It can be said that it is the same way as the direction he is walking.

……

On the [-]th, the heavy snow in the city of Haojing gradually decreased, but there was still a thick layer of white snow accumulated in the city.

The government asked the chiefs of the districts and ri to mobilize many people to clear the snow on the streets to avoid the congestion of the official roads and affect the normal travel inside and outside the capital.

Of course this is 'gratis'.

However, the half-person-deep snow couldn't stop the enthusiasm of thousands of people, even the dignitaries in the city, from looking at the list.

The place where the list is released is not outside the Imperial College, but in front of the most famous royal street in Haojing.

It was a long street called Yujing, and all the officials with high rank came and went, and it was also a long street that many officials had to pass or pass by in the early morning.

At this time, the yellow list had been posted on the east wall, and Zhang Jian had already seen the biggest words on it.

In Jingwu's sixth year, the Ministry of Rites will try and release the list.

With just a glance from a distance, Zhang Jian saw his name.

The first place is Wang Qingzhou of Jiuzhangping, Dongling County.

The second place is Zhangjiaao, Fengxi County, Fengyang County, Zhang Jian!

The third place is Peng Yuanshou, Sanyuan, Xicheng Street, Wuying County!
"You won, sir, did you see? You are ranked second on the tribute list!"

At this time Zhang Jian hadn't opened his mouth yet, Zhang Lu on the side couldn't help shouting, the corner of his mouth almost reaching the horizon, but just as he opened his mouth, the crowd exploded, and everyone looked at him one after another. Many Juren looked at him enviously, and many Juren looked sour.

"You are so young, you are ranked second on the tribute list at such an age, what are you capable of!"

It's just that before the words were finished, people from the southern counties spoke.

"What skills do you have? Brother Zhang is a role model for all the southern counties in my country. He is a young child prodigy, and his articles are as beautiful as flowers and flowers. How can ordinary people compare to him!"

"That's right, how can you judge the depth of an article by age? This statement is absurd! Which one of us in the south doesn't know Brother Zhang's knowledge!"

"Congratulations, Brother Zhang!"

Many Juren also opened their mouths one after another. Although each of them had complicated expressions, they were convinced.

This is the power of fame.

There were many voices of support, and soon the voices of discussion subsided, leaving only a large voice of envy and congratulations.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jian smiled slightly, and at the same time glanced at Zhang Lu next to him, which made Zhang Lu's old face a little red.

"Lang Jun, I've lost my composure too much!"

Zhang Jian smiled and waved his hands, but he understood Zhang Lu's joy better.

He is not happy.

Second place on the tribute list, this ranking was a bit beyond his expectation, this time he didn't use his luck to make a wish, he purely relied on his own true talents and learning.

The second place in the tribute list can look forward to the top three in the palace examination, that is, the three special positions of champion, second place, and Tanhua.

At this time, many Juren quickly shifted their attention, and their eyes fell on another young and vigorous Juren.

That is the Huiyuan King Qingzhou this time.

It was an extremely orthodox Juren, wearing an embroidered Confucian gown and tightly wrapped around his body, he did not seem to be from a noble family, but he became the focus of the yellow list at this time.

Many well-prepared wealthy families around have already greeted their servants and are rushing over, and some of them directly targeted Zhang Jian.

This is another grand scene under the yellow list.

Catch the son-in-law under the list.

Zhang Jian already had a fiancée, but he didn't want to be 'captured', so he signaled Zhang Lu to step forward to block her, but he himself entered the center of many candidates and disappeared in an instant.

At this time, in the crowd, Shi Lun was also quickly browsing through the list line by line.

There will be as many as [-] Gong students admitted in the sixth year of the Ministry of Rites Examination in Jingwu.

This amount is not particularly large, but it is not small either.

Nearly one-tenth of thousands of Juren.

In the icy and snowy day, Shi Lun felt sweating all over his body. Firstly, everyone was rubbing their shoulders together, and secondly, they were also worried. Until he saw his name at the [-]th position.

The [-]th place, Shi Lun, Shijiafang, Jixian County!

Seeing the names on the list, Shi Lun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when he browsed the entire list carefully, his expression suddenly became concentrated. Among the eight candidates who followed them to Haojing this time, only Zhang Jian and him were listed on the yellow list.

Zhanxiong also failed.

This made Shi Lun feel sorry for him. Zhanxiong's basic skills were very solid, and he was brilliant, but he fell down. He guessed that there was a problem with the later strategy or other places.

Shi Lun noticed that Zhanxiong not far away had a look of disappointment on his face, and many people around him were also dejected.

In the world of ice and snow, there are still some people who lost their composure and cried loudly, or directly shouted that it was unfair.

Sensing the gradual change in the atmosphere, Shi Lun also found an opportunity to slip away directly.

Afterwards, Shi Lun ran back to the Zhuangyuan residence in one breath.

At this time, the No. [-] Scholar's residence was no longer as lively as it was ten days ago.

Most of the eunuchs have already dispersed. If they don't win the exam, how can they run back to Zhuangyuanju to meet some friends? Most of them can only be deserted, packing their clothes and preparing to leave Beijing.

Only some of the candidates who are on the Yellow List can work harder towards the direction of the champion.

Shi Lun met Zhang Jian here.

Seeing Zhang Jian, Shi Lun was overjoyed and took the lead in congratulating him.

"Congratulations to brother Zhang for being ranked second on the yellow list, and the champion is expected!"

"Brother Chengfeng, you and I share the joy!"

Zhang Jian cupped his hands slightly, with a smile on his face.

From this moment, the relationship between the two of them is actually going to a higher level, not just friends with the same interests, but they are still in the same year now.

As a Jinshi of the same discipline and a good friend, he is very likely to become a political ally in the future.

This is destined to be closer than ordinary friendship.

Shi Lun also realized this early on, and he could see the master and servant more clearly. Zhang Jian was also born as a county magistrate. Zhang Jian was superior to him in terms of wisdom and ability to deal with people, and his future achievements are likely to be ninety-nine out of ten. above him.

Deep down in his heart, Shi Lun didn't mind this, not only because Zhang Jian helped relieve his confidant's troubles and allowed him to successfully participate in the ritual examination, but also because he was already impressed by Zhang Jian's talent.

Admiration from the bottom of my heart.

Afterwards, Zhuangyuanju also entered Zhuangyuanju from the South, and after a few drinks, they slowly dispersed.

Everyone knows that the tribute list is not the end.

The palace examination three days later is the most important thing.

Although it will not be dismissed, it is related to naming and appointing officials.

On the way, Zhang Jian looked a little surprised at this moment.

He found that after being listed on the Yellow List, his whole body seemed to have suddenly been favored by a certain inspiration in the depths of the universe, and this inspiration continued to flow into his body, causing the golden liquid mana in the magic spring in his body to increase rapidly , revealing a mellow, agile brilliance.

"Is this the inspiration to pick up the country, the entrance to invade good fortune?"

Zhang Jian thought to himself.

He knew that even ordinary people would have inspirations, which is why those demons like to eat the essence and blood of all spirits to practice.

And the operation of the Chaotang Sheji also has a hidden inspiration. If you can get the power of the Qiankun Sheji, you will be able to get the good fortune of the movement of all spirits.

This is the ultimate mystery of cultivating well in the Gongmen.

"Tongshan Qingjing Treasure Record" was originally able to pick up all kinds of inspirations, including the inspirations of the country. At this time, he suddenly entered the tribute list with extremely high gold content of the Daqian court, and he had his own inspirations from heaven and earth into his body to increase his mana.

"No wonder the Patriarch said that the world of mortals is a blessed place that many cultivators dream of. It's just that the inspiration of this blessed place cannot be absorbed by casual cultivators!"

Zhang Jian's eyes fluctuated slightly.

The increase in mana gave him a little extra sense of anticipation for the next palace test.

Although the gold content of the tribute list is high, it is not as good as the gold list title.

Gold list title, bridal chamber festivities.

This has been a beautiful thing in the world since ancient times.

……

Zhang Jian was silent in the small courtyard for three days. In these three days, apart from sending off some of the candidates to leave the capital, he spent the rest of the time in the small courtyard to build up mana and brush up questions.

Until the auspicious time came three days later.

The location of the palace examination is within the imperial city, not specifically the Jinluan Palace, usually a vacant palace designated by the emperor.

But this time, in order to show the imperial court's emphasis on talents, Emperor Jingwu pointed out the place of the palace examination in the Chengtian Palace of the previous dynasty.

……

At this time, the morning light was dim, and two hundred and eighty-five tributes passed through Yujing Street, led by the four chief examiners, through the imperial streets, and came to the outside of an imperial gate called Hanyuan Gate. Several officials from Yushitai were waiting here, and at the same time, officials from Taichang Temple came forward to inform the [-] tributes of the part of the ceremony after entering the temple, and at the same time warned everyone to face important officials of the court, and In today's world, you can't be disrespectful in front of the palace.

If there is a disrespect in front of the palace, there is also the risk of being dismissed.

These are one of the few ways in which it can be dismissed.

Of course, in general, such accidents do not occur.

At this time, Zhang Jian was ranked second among the tributes, just behind Qingzhou, the king of Huiyuan. As he spoke, his face was ashen-colored, and he was very nervous.

Disrespect in front of the palace also includes being ugly.

　Typos will be revised
