Chapter 57 I have a reason to marry the princess to him!

The news that Xu Ming won the case swept the entire imperial capital.

Compared with the first place in the case that Xu Pangda got last time, Xu Ming's gold content this time is simply full.

The number of people who took part in the Tongshi this time created a new high in the history of Wu State, and some of them had already been known for their talents, but were unable to take part in the imperial examinations.

Under such circumstances, it is conceivable how difficult it was for Xu Ming to stand out and get first place.

Even the official in charge of presiding over this child examination was worried about public criticism and applied to make Xu Ming's test paper public.

Emperor Wu naturally agreed, and directly allowed Xu Ming's test paper to appear in the weekly newspaper, and rewarded Xu Ming generously with a golden sword and pen.

The Jinhao sword and pen is the pen used by the first scholar from the Wu Kingdom who was admitted to the Bailu Academy. Although it is not a rare treasure, its significance is more important than some rare treasures.

Everyone could see how much Emperor Wu trusted and favored Xu Ming, even though he had never met him.

But in the past, due to Xu Ming’s status as a bastard, he was not allowed to give too many rewards and was always very restrained.

Now that his status as a bastard is no longer a problem, the reward of Jin Hao's sword and pen this time is also to make up for the past, so not many people say anything.

As for Emperor Wu's reward, Xu Ming saw more of an attempt to win over the emperor.

But this is normal. After all, he is still young and has no party. Even in the eyes of Emperor Wu, his world view has not been formed.

At this time, winning over others is the lowest cost and highest profit option.

Another year passed, and Xu Ming was ten years old.

In the blink of an eye, it has been ten years since Xu Ming came into this world. Xu Ming and Xu Pangda took part in the provincial examination together.

Xu Ming never thought that one day he would take the imperial examination like Fan Jin.

Unlike Fan Jin, Xu Ming felt that he should be able to pass the exam in one try.

During this period, Xu Ming vaguely realized one of the effects of Haoran Qi, which is that it allows you to write like a god, learn the ancient classics faster, and even help you draw inferences from one instance and apply it to other instances.

However, Xu Ming felt that the effect of Haoran Qi was more than that, he just hadn't discovered it yet.

However, many people think that the possibility of Xu Ming passing the imperial examination is still very small.

Although Xu Ming is very talented and is a child prodigy.

But how many talented child prodigies failed in the exam for Juren?

How many people never win in their entire life?

However, when the results of the provincial examination were announced, everyone stood in front of the notice board for a long time without coming to their senses.
At the very front of the list——

【First Prize——Xu Ming】

And below Xu Ming are also people from the Xu family.

The third son of the Xu family—Xu Pangda.

The two talented students of the Xu family took the first two places in the provincial examination, which made people wonder if they were hallucinating.

How come the extravagant Xu Guo Mansion, where the children only knew how to enjoy themselves, suddenly produced so many geniuses? !

And Xu Ming became the youngest juren in the Wu Kingdom in the past 250 years!
Xu Ming and Xu Pangda were still playing Go in the courtyard when they heard Chunyan running over and saying that someone had come from the palace and asked Xu Ming and Xu Pangda to go and receive the imperial decree.

It was only at this time that Xu Ming and Xu Pangda knew that they had passed the imperial examination, and ranked first or second.

This time, the reward that Emperor Wu gave to Xu Ming did not exceed the standard.

After all, it's okay once, but if you keep giving rewards beyond the standards, then it's not a reward, but flattery.

It was on this day, after Xu Ming passed the imperial examination, a string of words popped up in his mind again -

[You fought your way out of the vast army and passed the exam to become the highest-ranking official. Your noble spirit +5000, literary spirit +2000, and affinity with the luck of the mountains and rivers +50. You have achieved the accomplishment - Xu Mingzhong]

[Xu Mingzhongju: When you enter the court as an official, the influence of the dynasty's luck on your life span will be reduced by 50%.]

Looking at the words in his mind, Xu Ming was a little surprised. At that time, there was no reward for being the first in the exam, but there was one for being the first in the exam.

But it’s also true that the difficulty of the two is simply not on the same level.

Xu Mingzhong understood that Yuan's popularity was still continuing to ferment in Wudu.

Unlike Qi, in Wu, the boy's examination was held once a year, the provincial examination was held every three years, and the metropolitan examination and the palace examination were held every four years.

The year after the provincial examination is the metropolitan examination and the palace examination.

Everyone thought Xu Ming would participate.

Xu Ming is already a middle-level scholar.

If I were to take part in the metropolitan examination and the palace examination again and win the first place, or even the top three places, that would be simply unimaginable.

Xu Ming will become the third scholar to win the top three places in the Wu Kingdom in the past 300 years, and the youngest one.

However, on the day when the officials went to Xu's house to record the files of Xu Ming and Xu Pangda for the next year's examination, a piece of news came out.
Xu Ming postponed entering his file and would not take part in the imperial examination next year.

The reason is that Xu Ming is going to join the army
When this news came out, the whole Wudu was in an uproar, and everyone suspected that they had heard it wrong.

Xu Ming joins the army?

A champion!
It is even said that there is a scholar who can win three top honors in the imperial examination!

Joining the army?!
Although the Wu State was founded on military power, this kind of thing is really unprecedented.

The old lady from the Xu Mansion and Xu Zheng both persuaded Xu Ming to take part in the imperial examination well.

Euphemistically express, "If you have any discomfort, just tell us, we will definitely solve it for you!", "We were indeed a little indifferent to you before, but the past is the past, and this is now", "You are now the treasure of our Xu family, and we will meet all your needs!"

Emperor Wu even asked Eunuch Wei to secretly come to Xu's house and ask Xu Ming if he had encountered any unpleasant things.

If there is anything that is not going well, please tell me.

We've got you covered.

Can you get into Tsinghua University first?

No, can you pass the imperial examination first?

The creation of new history in the literary world of Wu State may very likely depend on you!

If nothing unexpected happens, you will be the spokesperson for our Wu country's literary world in the future.

But Xu Ming still politely refused and expressed his determination to join the army to practice both civil and military skills.

Xu Ming gave a very righteous reason: "Wu State was founded on military power, and Duke Xu spent his whole life in the military. Ming would like to take Duke Xu as an example."

However, Xu Ming promised that he would take part in the next imperial examination in five years.

Eunuch Wei had a complicated expression and didn't know what to say for a moment, but he could only go back and report.

When Emperor Wu heard Wei Xun's reply, he felt pity in his heart, but he was even more pleased!

"Your Majesty really likes Xu Ming." Empress Xiao stood behind Emperor Wu and gently rubbed his shoulders.

"How can I not like it?" Emperor Wu put down the report with satisfaction, "But this is also good, a man should be brave, let him enter the Bloody Pagoda."

Empress Xiao was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, what if Xu Ming has any accident?"

Emperor Wu waved his hand and said, "Since he wants to join the army, I will give him enough stage to let him do his best!"

"Five years later, if he comes out of the Blood Pagoda and passes the imperial examination."

Emperor Wu rubbed his fingers and said no more, but his eyes were fixed on the two words "Xu Ming" on the report.

I now have a reason to marry the princess to him!
