Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Three days later, in the empty field of Shangshu Province in the southwest of the imperial palace, more than a thousand people gathered in front of the notice board. Defang came to Xihuamen in a sedan chair. "Your Majesty, do you really want to leave the palace like this?"

Zhenzong nodded, "Brother Huang, the list will be released soon, let's go."

"But..."

"Don't worry, just now in front of the main entrance, I saw a large group of people walking towards Shangshu Province on Yujie Street. If you go late, you won't be able to see anything."

"Your Majesty, what do you want to see?"

Zhenzong was taken aback, "What are you looking at? Well... Anyway, there are so many people, there must be some to see."

Hearing this, Defang thought to herself, she didn't think about anything and squeezed inside. If it wasn't for being pulled by you, the lonely king would have passed by by himself. Now it's fine, and I still have to take your safety into consideration. It's meaningless at all. Zhenzong looked at Defang, "Brother Huang, did you think of something to watch?"

Defang nodded and whispered to Zhenzong. Zhenzong was very happy after hearing it, "Really? Well, well, let's go! Go and have a look!"

"Your Majesty" Defang blocked Zhenzong, "If it's really like that, it will be messy, so don't go far away."

"No." Zhenzong stretched out his hand, "If I go far away, brother Huang will hold me."

Defang didn't go the same way, the two of them didn't take the sedan chair, they took Baili, Song Jiajun, Zhou Huaizheng and Hua Tiangang, and the six of them walked to the place where the Shangshu Province released the list. He looked at it and said, "Brother Huang, look over there, there are so many people."

"Yes, Your Majesty, look over there." Defang pointed to the front, "Those students who seem to be rushing for the exam at first glance, I guess they will be quite nervous."

"That's right, it's no wonder that you don't feel anxious about such a big event as the release of the rankings. Brother Huang, look at those people, they should be rich households, and they also carry sedan chairs and entourages. The people next to them are all spectators. Look at those people. Beggars, hahaha, there really are everyone."

"Your Majesty, I heard that people from the outer city and people from outside the city also came here to watch the announcement. It must be very lively today."

"It should be so, these days just happen to be celebrating together, so it must be more lively." Zhenzong tilted his head and said, "Brother Emperor, I will call you myna in a while, and you can just call me my third brother."

"Mynah?" Defang thought to herself: Why does it sound so awkward, mynah?How about a parrot? Besides, I am a starling, why are you the third brother?Are you older than me for a long time?It's not messy anymore.

"Master!" Baili shouted, "Look, the gate of the palace is open, and the list is about to be released."

At this time, the gate of the palace was wide open, and two officials led a team of imperial guards towards Shangshu Province. When the gong was knocked to clear the way, the crowd immediately parted ways. The officials went to the notice board and took a large roll of paper from the tray. , and then waved their hands, more than a dozen imperial guards stepped forward and unfolded the scroll. It was about six or seven feet wide and three feet long, with names written all over it. , The official turned around and said, "The gold list for the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu Palace Examination has been issued. This time, the imperial court has recorded a total of 570 officials. Please ask the state capitals to enter the list of students in Beijing to find their names. If you don’t know anything, you can bring your examination card to the Ministry of Officials to inquire, and my envoy is here to congratulate the students on the gold list.”
