The first discussion of the discussion became the biggest trend in Handan City in the next few days. The scholars were the protagonists for granted. They were excited to talk big in the wine shops, various mansions and guesthouses, while others surrounded them, just like stars holding the moon.

Any scholar, even if he is so poor that he is not a single person on weekdays, will be stopped by a group of old and young neighbors on the day he goes back and forth, carefully interrogating the various details of the exam. When he hears how strict the examiner is, how the soldiers of Zhao State often exclaim satisfied and proudly awe. As for the specific content of the policy, it is not something that the general public cares about.

On that day, the lights were brightly lit in the palace, and one hundred Zhao officials who were reviewing the test papers were busy reading the test papers, and they gave four comments: "excellent", "good", "pass" and "failed".

As the paper examiner this time, Zhao He gave the marking standard is quite simple - "If you say something, you can pass the exam."

In layman's terms, as long as there is a place that can be said to the point, no matter how insignificant the place is, it can pass the qualification as long as it is a knowledge point.

According to Zhao He's standard, there must be many scholars who pass the customs, which is not surprising. After all, being able to read and write in these days is enough to support yourself in any place. In the current situation of shortage of officials in Zhao State, there is nothing to praise as an official.

The key is the second exam, that is, the academy exam, which is the key to whether a scholar can become an official or only an official.

Although officials can form words together, the huge gap between the two is well known.

Zhao He stood in the hall, looking at the busy scene in front of him, thinking about something.

It turns out that this is the case when teachers are working together to correct papers.

After a pause, Zhao He said lightly to the Lieutenant Qiu Ye in front of him: "This is the ceremony of the Great Zhao to acquire scholars, so I would like to ask Qiu Qing to pay more attention. After the result is revealed, you, Fei Xiang and Zhou Qing and the other two will rank in the excellent answer sheet, and then go out."

Qiu Ye did not dare to neglect and said, "Here!"

Five days passed in a flash.

On the morning of that day, the geek had just lit up, and the bulletin board outside the gate of the Academy was already crowded with people.

Everyone wants to know their ranking.

The government obviously had already prepared a lot, and someone stood there and shouted loudly: "Don't be anxious, the list will be posted in the city later! Don't squeeze, don't squeeze and take it slowly, everyone can see it!"

As a member of the candidate, Xunqiu also came here early and waited with his brother. His father was on duty in the yamen today, but he also told the two brothers that they would go and report the news immediately if there was good news.

But when they came a little late, the two brothers Xunqiu could no longer occupy the front position. There were people everywhere, and their ears were filled with noisy words. The most common ones were "Can you win this time?" and "It must be won."

I don’t know how long I waited, but suddenly the crowd started to make a noise: “Here you come, come, look!”

Sure enough, several officials from Zhao State walked over under the escort of a team of soldiers, and soon, the lists began to be pasted one by one.

The crowd was completely turbulent: "Hurry, see if I've won, see!"

“Where, where?”

The list is divided into three lists, namely "C List", "B List" and "A List". Among them, only the names of the list C and B List are listed, and only the best A List will rank.

Xunzi's heart thumped and said to his brother: "Brother, go and look at the C list, I look at the B list!"

The two brothers immediately divided the work and cooperated.

From time to time, excited shouts came from Xunzi's ears: "I've won, look, that Chen Yang is me, I've won the B list, it's the first one! Hahaha, I can become an official in the future and become an official!"

"I'm the third list of C. I won, I won, hahahaha!"

Listening to these voices, the scholars who failed to win suddenly seemed to have taken stimulants, searching for their names on the list one by one. Once they found them, they would laugh loudly and throw all their demeanor directly into Java.

After a while, Xunzi finished reading all the lists on the B list, but she did not see her own name.

Just when Xunqiu wanted to find his brother, his brother's figure had already appeared in front of him.

"Finished? I didn't."

"Neither I!"

The two brothers immediately rushed towards the direction of the A-list.

Xunqiu was thumping while thrusting in his heart. Although he believed in his heart that he would definitely be among the best, there was no such thing as saying, if he failed the exam...

With an excitement and uneasy mood, the two brothers Xunqiu came to the A list.

Compared with List B and List C, there is only one list A, with the name and ranking clearly marked on it. The lower the ranking, the lower the ranking, the lower the ranking, and the higher the ranking is above.

Xunkui subconsciously looked up from the last one: "Two-fiftieth: Lingshou City, Zhongshan County - Baibo; Two-nineth: Tian Lian, a native of Linzi City, Linzi County..."

As the ranking gradually increased, Xunzi felt more and more nervous.

Two hundred, one hundred, fifty... still no Xunzi's name.

Twenty.

Xunzi was a little breathless.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter suddenly burst out: "I, Zhou Zheng, third on the A list!!! I am third, third!!!"

One of them was standing next to the two brothers Xunqiu and was watching the list nervously with the two brothers Xunqiu, jumping and jumping. The crown on his head was crooked and his hair was slanted. However, he ignored it completely and fell into great ecstasy.

Xunqiu glanced at the other party and suddenly found that the other party was quite familiar. After thinking about it carefully, wasn’t this the Legal scholar who won the final victory for the Legalists in the debate in the academy a few days ago? With such a result, no wonder he was ranked among the top three.

At this moment, the brother next to Xunkui suddenly trembled: "Brother Kuang, look at him."

Xunqiu turned around and looked in the direction of his brother's finger.

At the top of the A list, there is a higher position than everyone else, and a name is written upright.

"The first place: Handan person-Xunzi."

At this moment, Xunqiu felt that his heartbeat was about to stop.

He took a long and deep breath and said to himself in disbelief: "I am the number one?"

At some point, everyone's eyes fell on Xunqiu, including the Legal scholar who finished third.
