Chapter 311 Humanity’s First Time(1/2)
The birth of the first imperial examination champion of the Han Dynasty was a big event in Chang'an City.
After all, it is the first time for mankind.
It will be clear the next day.
Chang'an is more lively than in the past. The shops on the streets and the vendors walking along the streets all got up early and opened their doors early.
Because today is special.
The champion parades.
It’s the beginning of time.
Xuanwu Street.
When,
When, when.
After several gongs rang, people saw a group of people appear on the street. In front of them were more than a dozen fully armed guards, and behind the guards were ten maids.
"That person is the top pick!"
"He looks quite handsome."
"What's so handsome?"
"I am already the father of three children, so don't worry about me."
On the attic, several women pointed to the middle of the team,
A man wearing a red official robe said cheerfully,
He was just retorted by a middle-aged man in the attic.
One of the women,
Hearing the words of the middle-aged man downstairs, he rolled his eyes and said to him: "What's wrong with having a child? I want to be a concubine, can't I?"
The middle-aged man obviously didn't think about this and quickly shut his mouth.
"Hahaha!"
Not far away from the middle-aged man, a man and a woman couldn't help laughing.
"No future!" the man said.
"Husband...that concubine has no future..." The woman seemed a little dissatisfied.
"No, no, no..." The man knew he had said something wrong, so he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "How can they compare with my Yuan Ji?"
These men and women are the Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty and the imperial concubine Wang Yuanji. Today is the first time that the number one scholar of the Han Dynasty is paraded through the streets.
This drama was also specially stipulated by Liu Chan.
Next, the Han Dynasty will comprehensively implement scientific examinations. If the scientific examinations are not attractive enough, who will be willing to participate in the scientific examinations in the future?
As the saying goes, becoming a Jinshi is the dream of thousands of students, and riding a horse in the streets can be regarded as a reward for ten years of hard study.
The No. 1 pick is in the middle, and the No. 2 pick is right behind.
Because before that,
Humans have not yet carried out scientific examinations, so this is naturally the first time for human beings. Liu Chan arranged this drama according to the movie and TV dramas he had seen in his previous life, and the way those champions paraded through the streets.
The large group of people passed through the street in a mighty manner. As the protagonists, Zeng Shu, Jiang Xian, and Wang Yan were naturally in a good mood, waving to the people on both sides of the street from time to time.
"Do you know?"
"I heard that the Han Dynasty will hold scientific examinations every year in the future."
"No, I heard that it is held every three years."
Several onlookers were chattering away, not knowing where they heard it from, leaving Liu Chan speechless.
I haven't decided how to hold this scientific examination in the future, so you all know.
Of course, Liu Chan was too lazy to argue with them. His purpose today was to mix in the crowd and see what the people thought about the scientific examination.
While several people were discussing, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old suddenly said: "I will do the same next year."
His voice was a bit loud, and the surroundings were noisy, but the people around him,
I was still attracted to him.
Everyone followed the sound and saw that it was a slim young man wearing light blue clothes.
"Haha!"
"It's just you!"
"Stop dreaming, it's not that easy to be the top pick."
"What's wrong with me?" The young man seemed a little dissatisfied and said, "I'm determined to win the top prize next year."
"My brother's tone is quite..." The middle-aged man who just laughed at the women in the attic looked him up and down, and then asked: "I wonder whose son my brother is?"
"Yizhou Zhang family?"
"Yizhou Qiao clan?"
"Or Guanzhong Guo family, Feng family, or Ma family..." The middle-aged man named the famous families in the Han Dynasty one after another, and asked: "I wonder which family this little brother comes from?"
Hearing this, the young man laughed and said, "I'm not from a wealthy family, I'm just a child from an ordinary family." After saying that, he pointed to the parade that had just arrived and asked, "Do you know who Zeng Shu Zeng Gong is?
Where were you born?"
Everyone paused, Liu Chan and Wang Yuanji, who had been silent, looked at the young man curiously, because they naturally knew where Zeng Shu was born.
"When was Mr. Zeng born?" asked a middle-aged man.
Before, they only knew that Zeng Shu had won the first prize, and before he became the first prize, he had been in jail for a month. It was said that he had a conflict with Shangshu Lang.
It’s just a question of where he was born.
There are really not many people who know about it.
Seeing everyone looking at him curiously, the young man said affirmatively: "Baishen, Mr. Zeng is not from a wealthy family. He is no different from me. He is just an ordinary commoner."
"What?"
"White body?" The middle-aged man was suddenly shocked and said: "Are you saying that Mr. Zeng is just a white body?"
The young man was right. Liu Chan could prove this to him. Zeng Shu was indeed not an aristocratic family, but an ordinary citizen of Brazil County, Yizhou.
Because he had loved reading since he was a child, this time the Han Dynasty held a scientific examination, he took the exam with the attitude of giving it a try.
Who would have thought that an article titled "The Great Han Dynasty is in Danger" would eventually become the number one scholar in the first scientific examination of the Han Dynasty and the first number one scholar in mankind.
"Yes!" The young man nodded and said, "Mr. Zeng is from Brazil County, Yizhou. His family property is only three acres of thin farmland. He has a wife, his parents are still alive, and he has three children."
The boy gave the exact information, which shocked the onlookers. At this time, the front line of the parade had just passed in front of them.
"He's right!" Zeng Shu said with a smile: "Zeng is an ordinary citizen."
But just as Zeng Shu finished speaking, he saw Liu Chan in the crowd, which made him a little nervous. He wanted to get off his horse and pay homage, but Liu Chan glared at him. Zeng Shu instantly understood the emperor's meaning and hurriedly whispered to those around him.
Two people: "Don't dismount."
Jiang Xian and Wang Yan also saw the Emperor, and also saw Liu Chan's eyes glaring at them, so they were very smart and pretended not to see anything, and continued to wave to the onlookers on the street.
"Can ordinary people also take part in the scientific examination?" someone suddenly asked.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Because since Zeng Shu is a white man and can get the first prize in the examination, it means that the common people also have a way to rise.
Although I had heard before that the emperor's scientific examination was for the common people across the country, anyone who was willing to serve the imperial court could sign up to take the scientific examination, and after gaining merit, he could become an official in the imperial court.
However, in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, some people have gone from the bottom to the court, but they are rare and rare.
"Of course, His Majesty has already said that everyone is equal in the scientific examination;" the young man said with some excitement: "As long as you have talent, you can pass the scientific examination and gain fame."
Liu Chan was naturally very satisfied. Parading the No. 1 Scholar not only showcased his honor in the scientific examination, but also promoted the future scientific examination.
Not bad, not bad.
Watching the parade going further and further, and listening to all kinds of discussions about the scientific examination and the number one scholar, Liu Chan felt very satisfied.
"Husband, let's go back, there are still important things to do at home!"
The parade had gone away, and although the people were still talking, Wang Yuanji still did not forget to remind Liu Chan, because according to the rules, after the champion's parade ends, a ceremony to meet the emperor will be held outside the south gate of Weiyang Palace, and then enter Weiyang Palace.
Although the parade is to walk through all the main streets in Chang'an, Chang'an is not a megacity in the future. There are two rings, three rings, or even five and six rings. Although Chang'an now is very prosperous, it is not big in scale.
.
So when he heard Wang Yuanji's reminder, Liu Chan gave up and continued to listen to the discussion between the young man and the people.
The first quarter of noon.
Weiyang Palace, Nangong Gate.
Today's square outside the Nangong Gate is completely different from usual. In the past, except for the guards at the gate of the palace, there were no guards in the square.
But today is different. The square is surrounded by fully armed guards. On both sides of the central avenue leading to Weiyang Palace, there is a guard every few steps. There are hundreds of maids standing in front of the palace gate.
Outside the Nangongmen Square, many people had already arrived. They were close to the edge of the square because the number one scholar was going to meet the emperor here today.
What would it be like for the number one scholar to meet the emperor?
No one knows, and no one has seen it.
Therefore, human beings' natural curiosity makes them wait here early.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
