The Tang Dynasty Started from the Great Governor to the Emperor

　　This time, he wanted to make things difficult for those candidates!sharpen their sharpness.

　　But who knows, there will be so many crazy candidates all of a sudden.

　　Of the eleven test papers, nine of them answered more thoroughly than the person who asked the question thought.

　　The other two are good enough.

　　Looking at these excellent articles that were three or four times more than he expected, he had to sigh.

　　"It really is blue out of blue!"

　　Fang Xuanling shook his head, then took a deep breath and said, "Write up the rankings according to the previously selected rankings, and then publish the rankings in front of Gongyuan at an auspicious time tomorrow!"

Chapter [-] Chapter [-] The second martial arts exam!Break through!

　　The eighth year of Zhenguan, October [-]th.

　　On this day, the examinations for the system of subjects and the examinations for the jinshi subjects will be released.

　　Early in the morning, I saw many candidates, all of whom left the inn or home where they lived, and walked towards the Gongyuan in the rustling autumn wind.

　　Outside the inn, Luo Pengcheng, a disciple of King Li Ke of Shu, was standing at the door of the inn before dawn.

　　His expression was calm, and he was raising his head, looking at the east that was gradually showing the white belly, and his heart was rising.

　　For seven full years, Luo Pengcheng had taken the exam for seven years in order to pass the jinshi exam, but every time he returned disappointed.

　　He still remembered how excited he was when he was first admitted to the jinshi exam. He was just like the young candidates walking to Gongyuan in groups on the street, thinking that he could be named in the gold medal list and honor his ancestors.

　　But as a result, it is disappointing again and again, and almost despairing again and again.

　　Originally, he had already given up. After all, the family was in a downturn, and if he continued to study, the family might starve to death.

　　But he didn't expect that at this juncture, he would meet Li Ke, the king of Shu, and a mentor who changed his life.

　　He doesn't know what his result will be this time, but if he can't go to high school again, he will really see no face to see his teacher again, no face will go back to Yizhou.

　　"Huh..." Luo Pengcheng took a deep breath and gradually recovered.

　　"Senior brother, you came out so early. Why didn't we see you in the inn?" At this moment, Ximenxue's voice rang from behind Luo Pengcheng.

　　Luo Pengcheng turned around to look, and saw that his eight senior brothers were all dressed and standing behind him.

　　He smiled and shook his head, and said, "Although I have some confidence in my heart, I still have trouble sleeping at night. I woke up earlier this morning, thinking about relaxing my mind."

　　When Ximen Xue and others heard the words, they were all silent, and they all understood Luo Pengcheng.

　　After all, this is the eighth time Luo Pengcheng has taken the jinshi examination, and his teacher values ​​Luo Pengcheng the most. If Luo Pengcheng can't go to high school, I am afraid that he will not be able to forgive himself in his heart.

　　Ximen Xue thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Senior brother, don't put too much pressure on yourself, when we were doing the questions at Yizhou Academy of Literature, both the teacher and Mr. Chu praised the senior brother, saying that the senior brother is the most talented among us. People, so senior brother, we believe in you, this time, you will definitely be able to go to high school!"

　　"That's right, senior brother, even if you don't believe our words, you still have to believe in the teacher! The teacher has clearly told us that you will definitely go to high school!"

　　Zhao Nan also said.

　　Hearing the words, Luo Pengcheng showed a smile on his face, and said, "Don't worry, I even survived those seven failures, and now I have no fear, let's go, it's time to go to the Gongyuan."

　　After saying that, he turned around and walked in the direction of Gongyuan. When the others saw this, they glanced at each other, and they all nodded their heads and followed.

　　A group of nine people, under the light of the rising sun, seemed to be wearing a blood-colored cloak, radiant and dazzling, like a true fairy.

　　When everyone arrived at the Gongyuan, they saw that there were already people standing outside the Gongyuan.

　　Candidates from all over the Tang Dynasty looked nervous at this time, their hands clenched their fists tightly, and their palms were full of sweat.

　　This time is different from the past. Before the candidates gathered together, it was a lively and familiar conversation, but this time, very few people spoke.

　　Some of them seemed to be praying with their eyes closed, some were chanting with prayer beads, and some of them stood there like wooden stakes, motionless, and didn't know what they were thinking.

　　"The disciples of His Royal Highness the King of Shu are here!"

　　At this moment, I don't know who opened the mouth to say a word, and then saw the candidates nearby. At this moment, they suddenly turned their heads, and instantly looked at Luo Pengcheng and others.

　　The expressions in their eyes are different, some are envious, some are jealous, some are indifferent, some are regretful, all kinds of expressions, and so on.

　　But at this time, they all spontaneously gave way to the front of the Shu King's disciples.

　　Seeing this, Luo Pengcheng and the others bowed their hands to everyone, and immediately walked forward along this road without saying a word.

　　After they left, some whispering voices were heard.

　　"You say they can go to high school?"

　　"Hey, I guess not, but maybe there will be one or two people in high school?"

　　"Yizhou can only have one or two high schools in ten years, and the exam questions this time are so difficult, it is estimated that none of them will be able to high school."

　　"But I also respect them very much. Even knowing that I can't go to high school, I dare to come here. This is considered courageous."

　　"Have you heard about their bet with Wang Chenglun and Ouyang Lin?"

　　"It is said that whoever loses will become the opponent's disciple. This time, they are really finished!"

　　"Yeah, they are really impulsive..."

　　Whispered discussions kept ringing behind Luo Pengcheng and others, and they could all hear some, but no one made a sound.

　　Finally, they came to the front, when they saw Wang Chenglun and Ouyang Lin already standing here.

　　Seeing Luo Pengcheng and others, Ouyang Lin sneered: "You guys still dare to watch the list, it seems that you have some courage. In this case, it is not unqualified to be a few dogs under my door."

　　Hearing this, Luo Pengcheng just glanced at Ouyang Lin, and said lightly, "I also like a dog like you that bites when you see people."

　　"What did you say!?" Ouyang Lin suddenly became angry when he heard this. He was already irritable. At this time, seeing Luo Pengcheng insulting himself so lightly, in his opinion, this was simply a great humiliation and insult.

　　"Hehe, Ouyang Lin, I told you before, talking to these uneducated hillbillies is just asking for no fun."

　　Wang Chenglun raised his folding fan and said gracefully: "We can just wait for the list to be released, and when we see who is at the top of the list, according to the betting agreement, other people will be apprentices, so why bother talking nonsense at that time? Can't we help?"

　　"exactly."

　　Ouyang Lin raised his chin and said, "Soon, you will worship me as your teacher."

　　"Humph! That's not necessarily true!" Wang Chenglun also had great confidence.

　　The two looked at each other, and the meaning of tit-for-tat was self-evident. Until now, they have only regarded each other as their opponents, and have not put Luo Pengcheng and others in their eyes.

　　"Listed!!"

　　At this moment, someone shouted loudly, and everyone was shocked. Then they looked at it subconsciously, and then they saw the official of the Ministry of Personnel holding the red list and walking here.

　　Seeing this scene, even Wang Chenglun and Ouyang Lin couldn't help holding their breath, and their faces were full of tension.

　　Although they are very confident, they also know the strength of the other party, and they are afraid that the other party will play better, and it will be bad.

　　In this way, under the nervous gaze of everyone, the official of the Ministry of Personnel finally walked in front of everyone and said aloud: "The examination for the system, the rank of the jinshi will be released!"

　　With the official's order, the first piece of red paper was finally posted.

　　There are thirty-two names on this list, ranging from thirty-third to sixty-fourth.

　　Although there are only [-] places for the imperial court to select scholars this time, in order to better select talents, [-] people will be selected in the first round, and [-] people will be selected after the second round of the prelude to the palace. .

　　Those thirty-two people are the candidates who can directly fill the vacancies.

　　At this time, with the posting of this list, all the candidates stared at this list.

　　Some people look from the top down to find their name.

　　Some people look from the bottom up.

　　Then, at this moment, I heard an extremely excited voice, which sounded one after another.

　　"Fifty-eighth, I won!"

　　"There is me, there is me!"

　　"God has mercy, this time I finally have me!"

　　The voices sounded, like the heavy hammer, constantly hitting the candidates' hearts.

　　The nine people in Luo Pengcheng also looked over at this time, and the expressions on their faces were also extremely nervous.

　　Although they have done this exam several times, they are not sure whether they will really get good grades because of it.

　　It's just that they watched it from beginning to end, but they didn't find a person's name.

　　That is to say, among these thirty-three to sixty-four, there are no them.

　　This made their hearts suddenly tense.

　　When Ouyang Lin saw this, he suddenly laughed: "Among the thirty-three to sixty-four people, none of them are among the protégés of the King of Shu? It really opened my eyes!"

　　Wang Chenglun also raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "If 297 didn't know that you must not be admitted to the first list, maybe I would have thought that your grades were so good that you could enter the top [-]!"

　　"The first list is also posted!"

　　As soon as Wang Chenglun finished speaking, he heard the voice of a candidate.

　　"This time, your dreams are finally coming to an end, and it's time for me to be at the top of the list and become famous!"

　　Wang Chenglun raised his head confidently, he did not look from the back to the front, but looked directly at the top of the list!

　　Because in his opinion, this position belongs to him!

　　He raised his head, his face was full of pride and confidence, as if he was about to welcome a bright future, and then his eyes were placed on the first place.

　　After that...

　　"what!?"

　　Wang Chenglun was stunned.

　　His eyes suddenly widened, and his entire face suddenly turned pale, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he just stood there.

　　"This...how is this possible!!"

　　At the same time, Ouyang Lin's extremely shocked and even terrified voice also sounded.

　　I saw that his whole person seemed to have seen a ghost, and his eyeballs were about to fall.

　　He was stunned, his body like a sieve in an instant.

　　"This……"
