Chapter 860
People from the Ministry of Rites brought Jinshi uniforms, and asked Liu Yusheng and Chen Xin to go to the Baohe Hall for the ceremony of passing on the coffin tomorrow. Chen Xin touched his injured leg, and Liu Yusheng thought he was worried about his ranking, so he comforted him: "Brother Chen, don't worry. Brother Chen's talent will definitely make it into the first class."

Chen Xin smiled, he wasn't worried about the ranking, but his leg injury was still unhealed, and he was worried that something might go wrong in tomorrow's biography ceremony.

He said to Liu Yusheng: "I see that you answered Ce's questions that day with a calm mind, maybe you can get into the first class."

It's not that Liu Yusheng has no talent, but most of the time he likes to do nothing. If he is serious, his talent is no worse than Xiao Xi's.

Liu Yusheng shook his head: "I can get into a second-class class, and then I'll be content with staying in the Imperial Academy. If it's a third-class class, most of them will be assigned to a local official. If I go to a remote village, I might as well learn to do business early in the morning."

After all, he doesn't have many contacts in the capital. If he really wants to work in a local area, he probably won't be able to choose a good place. But if he goes to a place where no grass grows, then what's the point of studying hard for so many years? Those who believe in want to be a master, and studying is just a way out for fame and fame.

"Brother Chen, he didn't ask Mr. He privately, who did the emperor decide to be the number one scholar?"

In fact, now that the ranking of Jinshi has been released, if you want to inquire, you will naturally get the answer.

Chen Xin just smiled: "I like to keep surprises and wait for the emperor's Linxuan roll call tomorrow."

He refused to admit the hidden worries in his heart, fearing that he would only be ranked second, so what would He Wenzong think of him.

Liu Yusheng was gesturing at the side whether the Jinshi uniform fit, Chen Xin walked out, but saw Li Xiruo standing outside the courtyard, looking up at the night.

"What are you looking at?"

Chen Xin approached Li Xiruo and raised his head with her, Li Xiruo said indifferently: "Gaze at the stars."

Chen Xin thought it was funny: "Your brother can heal diseases, and you can watch stars. There is no shadow of Orion in you two brothers and sisters."

Li Xiruo turned his head and glanced at him: "Walking through the forest at night is the easiest way to get lost. The only thing that can let people see the direction is the things in the sky."

But Chen Xin only saw the dead silence in this vast night. He was about to say something, but Li Xiruo gave him something without looking back. Seeing that it was the book, he reached out to take it and said in doubt: " what is this?"

"When Ye Shan left, he asked me to give you the only copy of this ancient book. He asked me to tell you that the emperor likes to test people's knowledge anytime and anywhere. Maybe this book can help you."

In fact, Ye Chongling didn't give it to Li Xiruo, but Li Xiruo helped his daughter get rid of the evil spirit, and asked him for this unique copy. She figured it would be beneficial to Chen Xin.

Chen Xin smiled: "Actually, I had already finished reading this book at that time, but since it is a lonely book, I will not waste Ye Shanzhang's thoughts."

Li Xiruo said seriously to him: "Read it again tonight, maybe you will gain something different."

She patted his shoulder and walked into the room, leaving Chen Xin alone to meditate.

The next day, 390 Jinshi stood outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, waiting for all the officials to salute, and then officials from Honglu Temple led them into the hall. Xiao Xi was lined up next to Chen Xin, and the two looked at each other. , They all saw the hidden meaning in each other's eyes: the position of champion must belong to me.

After Xiao Xi was stimulated by Chen Xin's Huiyuan, he locked himself at home to read every day before the palace examination. He was originally very talented, and he would get good grades no matter how hard he worked. Now he is willing to work hard and prepare meticulously. , so he was able to write a good article during the palace examination that day.

Xiao Xi was full of confidence in this time. Chen Xin was injured that day, but he was full of spiritual thoughts. This was because God was helping him. Besides, he had heard from the Grand Scholar that Chen Xin's diction was a little radical, not as good as his moderate and peaceful. The emperor doesn't like people who are too straightforward, and Xiao Xi feels that the position of number one scholar is in his pocket.

Hundreds of officials were divided into two rows and stood on the left and right, and the ministers of Honglu Temple led them to kneel outside the hall to listen to the transmission.

The emperor, dressed in a crown and fine attire, ascended to the seat in the hall, and asked the official to announce the system. Although the emperor personally called the name, he only announced the top three, and the other things were done by the official.

The official chanted: "On April [-]rd of the seventh year of the Shengyuan period, the tribute scholars in the world were tested. The first class was awarded Jinshi and rank, the second class was awarded Jinshi's background, and the third class was awarded with Jinshi's background."

Chen Xin and Liu Yusheng knelt outside the hall. The place is so wide that they couldn't hear what was said inside, but they could distinguish the word "Jinshi" from a distance, but this was not reciting names. Although everyone was nervous, they didn't have to figure out what was going on inside. what to do.

After the system was announced, it was time to sing the yellow list, and the examiner took apart the yellow list and presented it to the emperor: "Please call your name, Your Majesty."

All the Jinshi outside leaned forward one after another, hoping to hear more clearly. The emperor glanced at the imperial list and announced that he was number one, and then the examiner read the ranking and sent it out, but His voice still could not be heard outside the hall.

The Jinshi seemed to have heard who it was, but they were not sure if it was the name they heard. They all looked forward to it, waiting for the officials of Honglu Temple to take over the roll call

The Honglu Temple official heard the ranking and sang: "No. 1 in the imperial examination, Chen Xin."

The place outside the hall was empty, but surrounded by walls, Chen Xin's name was spread on the wall by the voice of the Honglu temple official, and then gathered together and spread to the ears of everyone, it was deafening.

Chen Xin couldn't believe it, he was afraid that he had heard it wrong, but Liu Yusheng's whisper of congratulations came from his ears.

With a pale face, Xiao Xi murmured: "How is it possible, how could you be number one."

Chen Xin dared to step forward and was led into the hall by Officer Honglu.

Then Honglu Temple sang: "No. 2, No. [-] in the palace examination: Xiao Xi."

Xiao Xi raised his head sharply, and clenched his hands tightly. He was unwilling to lose to Chen Xin just like this. The top three of the top three would become editors in the Imperial Academy. Wouldn't Chen Xin beat himself up everywhere after that?

But he had no choice but to step forward and let it go.

The first one or two did not have a big gap in the minds of the Jinshi. They knew that the number one scholar probably appeared among these two during the contest of the Yuanyuan. It's remorse, thinking about how to build a good relationship with Zhuangyuan Lang later.

Although the position of the second place is not eye-catching, it is still concerned. According to the test, everyone guessed that it might be Liu Yu, after all, he was ranked behind Xiao Xi at that time.

A voice came from the official Honglu: "No. 3, No. [-] in the imperial examination, Liu Yusheng."

Liu Yusheng was shocked. This was even more shocking than knowing that Chen Xinzhong was the number one scholar. He never thought that he was like a god helping him in the palace examination, and he would be able to win the first prize. Hearing this unfamiliar name, everyone began to discuss in low voices. Clearing his throat, he asked Liu Yusheng to quickly leave and enter the hall.

The emperor didn't bother to ask about the names of the second-class and the third-class, and only the official announced it. Chen Xin and the three walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times in front of the emperor.

Xiao Xi was unwilling to come to this point, but Chen Xin and Liu Yusheng were so excited that their bodies were trembling.

The emperor sized up the three of them, looked at Xiao Xi who was standing in the middle, and said, "Xiao Xi, I look at you, it seems that you have a look of displeasure on your face, but you are not satisfied with the champion I have appointed?"

Xiao Xi restrained his arrogance slightly and said: "I dare not, I just feel that I am no worse than Chen Xin."

The emperor clapped his hands and smiled, Xiao Xi was a young man after all, he was also the son of the founder of the county, a young talent, and he had never been inferior to others, so of course he would not be convinced.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll ask another question. Whoever answers well among you will be the number one scholar, and I can still consider it."

The Chuanzhi officer looked at the emperor, and the roll call had already been made, and the gold list had already been pasted on the high-speed wall. If the number one was changed at this time, Chen Xin would only become a laughing stock.

Of course Xiao Xi was meaningless, the emperor looked at Chen Xin: "What do you think?"

Chen Xin said without changing his face: "Everything is subject to the emperor's arrangement."

The emperor quoted a passage from an ancient book and asked them to combine and analyze the form of the world.

Chen Xin was taken aback for a moment, what a coincidence, this passage was in the only copy that Li Xiruo gave him yesterday, and when he was flipping through it yesterday, he specially read Ye Chongling's annotation.

Xiao Xi only read the Four Books and Five Classics on weekdays, and he only worked hard recently when he wanted to read the books, so in terms of the volume of books, he was far behind Chen Xin. He didn't even know where the source of this sentence came from. How should he answer this?
Liu Yusheng knew that this question and answer was none of his business, so he listened with ease.

The emperor looked at Xiao Xi and said, "Since you have doubts about Chen Xin's position as the number one scholar, you should answer this question first."

Xiao Xi opened his mouth, not knowing where to start, cold sweat broke out on his face, the emperor looked at it with a smile, but he didn't press every step, but turned to Chen Dao: "What about you? Do you have an opinion? "

Xiao Xi sneered, but he didn't believe it. Chen Xin knew what he didn't know.

Chen Xin bowed: "I will tell you the truth, I just read this book yesterday, and I have some experience."

"tell me the story."

Chen Xin talked eloquently, Xiao Xi heard that he was well-founded, not just talking nonsense, so he frowned. Even now, he didn't want to admit that he was indeed inferior to Chen Xin, but the facts told him again and again, It was not just a fluke that Chen Xin won him.

After Chen Xin finished speaking, the emperor smiled with satisfaction. Although he looked extremely tired when he saw Chen Xin in the palace examination that day, which didn't match what he thought in his heart, but when he saw him today, he was more generous.

The emperor looked at Xiao Xi and said, "Now do you think you can be the number one scholar?"

Xiao Xi clenched his lips, lowered his head and said: "It's the humble minister who doubted the decision of the Holy One despite his own strength, and the humble minister is willing to be punished."

Seeing Xiao Xiken bowing his head, the emperor didn't want to make things difficult for him, he just said to them: "Today, the three of you are the first-class Jinshi and ranked first, so you should work together for the country and the community."

The three bowed and kowtowed, and the officials standing outside rushed in to congratulate the emperor on the virtuous talent. There was continuous cannon fire outside. Amidst the burst of joy, everyone knelt down, and the emperor got up to drive.
