Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 9 The day to release the rankings has finally arrived

Unknowingly, when Luo Yan was counting his reputation, the day when the Jinshi Division released the rankings also arrived.

There were still two days left before the system store was refreshed. During this period, Luo Yan finally waited for his reputation to rise slowly enough to exchange for the "Principle and Method of Seawater Sun Salt".

Luo Yan complained about the speed of information dissemination in the Tang Dynasty.If this is left to future generations, as long as there is no greeting from the relevant department, any news will not spread throughout the country in an hour or two.

But now, it seems that Luo Yan's big show is like a small wave in the ocean.It’s been a few days now, and it’s time to start word of mouth. Luo Yan’s prestige value is still falling while watching it go up.As a result, within three days of this situation, the rising trend of reputation points slowed down.

No matter how popular Luo Yan was in the limelight, it couldn't compare to the enthusiasm that dissipated due to the passage of time.

In addition, he himself has not shown his face in front of people since the night of Jiaofangsi, and gradually people's conversations have shifted to other places.

As the time for the announcement of the Jinshi Department's rankings is approaching, the hot topic in Chang'an City has also shifted to the question of who is the current Jinshi.

Luo Yan, who has been in the limelight the most recently, is naturally also a big hit on the list, the difference lies in whether he is in the first rank or the second rank.There are two factions on this issue. One side says that Luo Yan's poems and prose will definitely impress the examiners, and there is no suspense for the first grade; It is an additional test, so it mainly depends on the current affairs policy. Luo Yan first became famous after leaving the examination room. The phrase "do your best and obey the destiny" shows that Luo Yan himself is not sure, so the most likely is the second grade.

Someone with good intentions even made a gamble for this, and Luo Yan originally wanted to gamble.But when I heard the reasons why he fell into the second class, I was also a little uneasy.It stands to reason that Luo Yan copied the "Six Classics", but whether it suits the appetite of the examiner, Luo Yan still dare not guarantee it.

Thinking of failing the first task of the system, Luo Yan's back also felt chilly.As for the reward of "The Analects of Confucius", Luo Yan thought he had made up his mind.This is the basis of the Nine Classics. If you can't complete the task, you will die.

The process of history will not wait for itself, and if the festival is held one year later, it will take one less year to complete the ultimate task.

On the day when the list was released, Zhou Jin and the others got up early and urged Luo Yan to go to the entrance of the official department to read the list.

Luo Yan was still a little nervous at this moment. After all, the answer has not been revealed yet, so Luo Yan couldn't help but feel uneasy in this situation.Therefore, for the first time, he washed up before Zhou Jin knocked on the door.It's not that Luo Yan doesn't want to take the initiative to call Zhou Jin and the others, but he really doesn't have that kind of mood now.

Among the few people who came from Luzhou, Zhou Jin was the most free and easy. He himself said that although he was not completely sure, even if he failed the exam this time, he still had a chance next year.With his family background, he can afford to wait.

So in the end it was Zhou Jin who knocked on the door and called for help.

There is still a distance between the official department and the inn where Luo Yan and the others rented.Along the way, several people were not as active as they were drinking together a few days ago, and the atmosphere had been warmed up in advance to make it suffocating due to the release of the rankings.

This is undoubtedly a matter of heaven and hell in an instant. Except for Zhou Jin, everyone feels that the road is so long and the legs are so heavy.

When Luo Yan first left, he was also very preoccupied, so Zhou Jin came to strike up a few times, just to deal with it.Zhou Jin also knew that everyone was under a lot of pressure at this time, so he simply said a few words and remained silent like everyone else.

But when he walked halfway, Luo Yan suddenly showed a surprised expression.Everyone was walking with their heads down, so no one paid attention to his expression.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for becoming Jinshi Kejia, etc., for completing the novice task, the special reward is "The Analects of Confucius". The road is long and the road is long, I hope the host will continue to work hard."

Luo Yan shook his head, feeling that kind of clear flow in his mind, presumably it was true.

Looking at the sun in the sky, I estimated the time, and it happened to be a little after eight o'clock. According to the early court system of the Tang Dynasty, the rules of early court on the moon day have not yet been implemented at this time, so as long as you are a fifth-rank Beijing official, you must attend it every day.The time for regular participation happens to be between seven o'clock and nine o'clock.So, at this time, it should be that the Ministry of Officials has just submitted the list of candidates to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan will make the final decision.

Letting go of the tension in his heart, Luo Yan actually thought about the rules of the system at this moment.

At this time Zhou Jin came over to strike up a conversation again.

Seeing Zhou Jin's hesitant expression, Luo Yan secretly laughed.He didn't pay much attention just now because he was nervous. It is estimated that Zhou Jin not only struck up a conversation with himself, but also encountered dealing with several other people.

So Luo Yan took the initiative to greet Zhou Jin in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, you must know that everyone is very nervous at this moment. I hope Brother Zhou will forgive me for the rude behavior just now."

Zhou Jin's character is destined to not be the kind of person who cares about every detail. When he saw Luo Yan talking to him actively, he responded happily: "Oh, brother Luo, I'm suffocated. You know my temper, everyone is so depressed Yes, I really can't stand it."

Thinking about it, it really is true that although Zhou Jin is not considered a chatterbox, his personality is indeed quite detached.At this moment, the group of people were silent, and each of them had extremely serious expressions. To him, it was really like being tied up with a rope.

"Brother Zhou is free and easy, unlike me, this matter of fame has indeed become a bit of a demon." Luo Yan flattered Zhou Jin silently.

"Brother Luo is wrong. In fact, I am also nervous, otherwise how would I go around talking to people. Everyone is nervous, but the way of expression is different." Zhou Jin told the truth in one sentence.

Luo Yan couldn't help being speechless, really, hahaha, as expected of Zhou Jin, he is really different from ordinary people.

So the two walked together and whispered about today's announcement.

With someone to talk with, and he already knew the result, Luo Yan felt that he had already reached the gate of the official department within a short walk.

The answer was about to be revealed, and the atmosphere became more and more tense at this time.After Zhou Jin said to look at the list, several people hurried to the notice wall.

The notice wall is the page on the right side of the eight-character wall at the entrance of the official department. Because the list of Jinshi subjects is a happy event, the "red sign" is used. To put it bluntly, it is written on red paper.Because black characters on a red background are not easy to recognize, everyone needs to look closely at the list.In order to prevent the scene from being chaotic, the Jinwu Guard sent several people to maintain order for the first time that day.

Although Luo Yan knew that he had won, on the one hand, he was curious about who else won the exam, and on the other hand, he didn't want to be too different, so he followed everyone to the notice wall.At this time, the Ministry of Officials has not yet posted the list, and everyone is crowded just to occupy a good position, so that they can have a quick look at it when the list is posted later.

After waiting in the crowd for a short time, two small officials came out of the official office, one with a rolled up red paper in his hand, and the other with a brush and paste.

Due to the existence of the Jinwu Guard, the two minor officials easily pasted the red paper on the notice wall without being surrounded.

The list is only one page, and each line is written in turn from left to right with the candidate's name, place of origin and rank.

Luo Yan didn't squeeze into a good position, so the list he saw was only a rough idea of ​​how many people were selected.Counting from top to bottom, it is roughly more than 20 but not thirty.Knowing this number, Luo Yan was still a little shocked. There were thousands of people, but in the end there were only twenty or so people on the list. Later generations of college entrance examinations often use thousands of troops to cross a single-plank bridge to describe the cruelty of the exam, but compared to the admission rates of the two exams, I'm afraid Jinshi is more cruel.

From the moment the list was posted, there was a lot of noise on the scene, and many people tried to squeeze under the notice wall to see it.

The idea is good, but don't forget there are guys like Jinwuwei.The Jinwu Guards have always been selected from the children of meritorious families, even if these scholars are really successful, the opponent has nothing to fear, so these few Jinwu Guards are extremely dark.

Seeing the grinning appearance of the scholar who was beaten back, everyone was finally scared, and the scene suddenly became very orderly.

But everyone's enthusiasm for reading the list has not cooled down in the slightest, so they are still pushing forward secretly.Fortunately, the scholars at the front also knew that if they crossed the line of Jin Wuwei and these guys, they might be beaten too, so they shouted loudly to read out the list.

When someone does something good, it is finally not so crowded anymore.But the voice of the scholar in front reading the list was extremely loud.

"Cen Zijin, Yangzhou State School, first class."

"Chen Sheng, Taiyuan Fufu School, first class."

……

"Luo Yan, Luzhou State School, first class."

……

"Zhou Jin, Luzhou Zhouxue, B class."

Of the 26 people, Jiangnan scholars accounted for more than half.Luzhou Zhouxue can be regarded as showing its face, and two Jinshi were born at once.However, Yangzhou has learned three, and the limelight is even greater.

The list of Jinshi subjects at this moment is not like that of the Ming Dynasty, where there were no champions in the list.

Whenever the scholar in front read a name, congratulations erupted from the crowd.Scholars who want to come to read the rankings also know that everyone needs such a little time to celebrate, so the time for reading the rankings is also relatively long. There are more than [-] names, and it takes nearly half an hour to commemorate.Luo Yan also received congratulations from many scholars, although he didn't seem to know any of them.

Zhou Jin was the last one in class B, so after reading, he didn't wait for everyone to celebrate.The Jinwu Guard standing next to the list replaced the adults of the Ministry of Officials and announced that the scholars who won the election would go to the Ministry of Officials to be appointed officials in three days.

No scholar will shed tears because he did not win the examination. Jinshi is not the only way to obtain family background and official position. If he fails in Jinshi, there are also Mingjing and other subjects.

On this day, Luo Yan's time was spent congratulating and returning gifts.

　Wandering around the entrance of the Forbidden City, by the way, lay in a hospital bed for a few days.It is still decided that Xiao Dao will not enter the palace.Thank you for the support of book friends such as Steak's War, Xiaopang 007, and book friends 160221074130267.Starting tomorrow, two updates are guaranteed every day.Xiaodao believes that firm dedication will not be let down.
