At this time, the important officials in the imperial court had gathered together.
Zhang Julu, the chief minister and other ministers of the cabinet.
Six ministerial books...
They were all standing in the hall.
As for other officials, they also stood in the same order as before.
After everyone came here, they stood still one by one.
Waiting for the next instruction to come.
At this time, another extremely loud voice came from the hall.
Then, sounds came one after another from far to near.
"Your Majesty has decreed that Xinke Jinshi will be admitted to the palace, and the Holy Emperor will be crowned in the Jinluan Hall!"
"Your Majesty has decreed that Xinke Jinshi will be admitted to the palace, and the Holy Emperor will be crowned in the Jinluan Hall!"
"Your Majesty has decreed that Xinke Jinshi will be admitted to the palace, and the Holy Emperor will be crowned in the Jinluan Hall!"
…
The eunuch who heard this sentence stood in front of all the scholars and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree. Xinke Jinshi will be announced to enter the palace, and the Jinluan Palace will be holy!"
Afterwards, the guards guarding the palace also shouted in unison: "Your Majesty has decreed that Xinke Jinshi will be admitted to the palace, and that the Jinluan Palace will be the holy one!"
If nothing else, the momentum is quite strong.
At least a large part of the scholars were shocked by the sight before them.
At this moment, they felt the pressure from the royal family and the Dasheng court.
This pressure alone was so overwhelming that they couldn't even lift their heads.
Only Huang Tinghui had seen this kind of scene in a TV series in his previous life, so he was not shocked by the current scene.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" A group of Jinshi responded loudly to express their gratitude to the emperor today.
What followed was another extremely cumbersome procedure. After all, this was an imperial examination competition held every three years.
China has always been a country that attaches great importance to etiquette systems, so naturally there can be no mistakes in these etiquettes.
Otherwise, how could China be said to be a country of etiquette?
Soon after, the Minister of Rites appeared in front of everyone holding a gold book.
He walked up to the main hall and said to everyone.
"On March 18th of the year Ding Chou, the Minister of Rites..."
"According to the ancestral system, the top three will be chosen..."
At this time, everyone looked at the golden book held by the Minister of Rites and listened to what the Minister of Rites had to say.
Huang Tinghui even found that several scholars were swallowing saliva and their bodies were trembling.
Finally, the voice of the Minister of Rites finally fell down, and everyone clearly heard the Minister of Rites say, "Zi Chou is the first in the first class of the imperial examination..."
"Huang Tinghui!"
In the palace examination, Sandingjia has the right to roll the name three times, so it seems like there is an echo here.
"Huang Tinghui ranked first in the first class of Zichou Department Examination!"
"Huang Tinghui ranked first in the first class of Zichou Department Examination!"
"Huang Tinghui ranked first in the first class of Zichou Department Examination!"
…
At this time, everyone had a thought in their minds.
Huang Tinghui!
This poor scholar who came all the way from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefecture won the first prize!
The champion is Huang Tinghui!
All the scholars present were full of envy for Huang Tinghui.
This is the first place in the imperial examination, an honor that many scholars pursue throughout their lives.
This person won the first place in the Imperial Examination. Considering his current age, he will definitely go to the direction of the Prime Minister in the future.
Even if his career is not smooth, as long as he can endure it.
In the future, he will definitely become an important minister of the imperial court.
After all, from the very beginning, they and Huang Tinghui are no longer on the same platform.
If this were not the case, how could so many people want to take the No. 1 exam?
Just when everyone was extremely envious of Huang Tinghui, another voice came from the hall.
"Huang Tinghui, come to the palace to see you!"
"The first prize is announced, and Huang Tinghui goes to the palace to see him."
"Your Majesty has decreed that Huang Tinghui, the first person in the ranking, will come to the palace to pay an audience."
There was another relay of paging calls, and the sound kept echoing in the palace.
At this time, the Honglu Temple official said respectfully to Huang Tinghui: "Your Majesty is proclaiming you the new champion!"
"Please come with me!"
After hearing what the official said, Huang Tinghui bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, sir!"
Seeing Huang Tinghui's extremely respectful look, the official was extremely pleased.
The magnanimity of this No. 1 scholar is indeed different from ordinary people, and makes people feel like a spring breeze.
"You are welcome!"
After saying that, the official of Honglu Temple led the way, followed closely by Huang Tinghui.
…
At the same time, Huangjia Village, far away in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefecture.
The spring breeze blows down the earth, and every household begins another year of hard work.
The grass and trees on the ground are also sprouting new sprouts.
The villagers of Huangjia Village went out to work again with hoes on their backs.
The chickens, ducks and domestic pigs in the village were noisy, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.
"Uncle Liu, are you back again?" Uncle Daudao and the others said hello as they looked at Uncle Liu who was leading the motorcade back.
"Hey, the sales of chickens and ducks are good this year, you should raise more of them!"
"Don't take advantage of the people in other villages then!" Uncle Liu's face was red, and he said to Uncle Bold and the others with a smile.
"Don't worry, we know what's going on!"
"The chickens, ducks and domestic pork are all enough. These are all money!"
"Brother Hui paved this road for us, how could we let down Brother Hui's kindness!" Uncle Bold said to Uncle Liu with a smile.
"By the way, Uncle Liu!"
"Today seems to be the day when the results of the palace examination are released. I don't know how Brother Hui's examination went!"
"If you pass the examination, won't Brother Hui be a Jinshi?" Uncle Bold seemed to have thought of something, he looked at Uncle Liu and asked.
"Hey, isn't it?"
"Don't worry, with Brother Hui's strength and level, he can easily pass the test, there won't be any big problems!"
The way Uncle Liu said this was full of confidence.
If Huang Tinghui saw this scene, he would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry.
Apart from anything else, Uncle Liu is more confident than himself.
However, in this era, communication technology was not yet developed.
What happened in the capital will naturally not spread to Huangjia Village in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefecture soon.
Therefore, no one knew that Huang Tinghui had won the second place in the examination, let alone that Huang Tinghui had become the number one scholar and was being summoned by His Majesty the Emperor in the palace.
If the villagers of Huangjia Village were to know these things, they would definitely not be talking leisurely here like they are now.
The red lanterns in Huangjia Village must have been hung up one by one, and the firecrackers must have been set off with a "cracking" sound.
For Huangjiacun, this is a matter of honor and glory for the ancestors.
Its importance is far more important than Huang Tinghui winning the title of Jieyuan in the provincial examination of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefecture.
This is the champion!
To be number one among the scholars in the country, not to mention right now, even in another hundred and eighty years, would still be enough to boast to future generations.
This matter can definitely be written down in the family tree.
"I hope Brother Hui can get a good rank in this exam and bring glory to our ancestors!"
"I hope so!"
"I hope so!!" everyone said one after another.
Unlike everyone else, the old patriarch had already lit incense at home, and there were rows of statues of gods and Buddhas all over the sky.
Each deity offered some food.
It can be said that the old patriarch treats everyone equally without any partiality.
Seeing what the old patriarch had done, Huang Tinghui's mentor Li Baichong coughed a few times, and then said to the old patriarch, "You have invited all the gods and Buddhas in the sky here!"
"Will this work?"
Hearing Li Baichong's words, the old patriarch immediately moved forward and helped Li Baichong, who was blushing and in extremely poor health, and said, "Cousin!"
"Why did you come here?"
"I don't know how to take good care of myself!" Unlike Li Baichong, whose body was getting weaker and weaker, the old patriarch's voice was still full of energy.
"This is not the day when the results of the palace examination are released. I was thinking about Tinghui in the capital, so I came to you to take a look."
"Who would have thought that you would place statues of gods and Buddhas all over the sky, and praying like this could really protect Tinghui from becoming the top scholar?"
Li Baichong smiled and looked at the old patriarch and asked.
"There are so many gods and Buddhas in the sky, how do I know which ones are useful?"
"Since I don't know, I just gave them all!"
"There is always one who will be useful, as long as one is useful!"
The old patriarch smiled and said to Li Baichong.
However, what Li Baichong just said made the old patriarch catch the topic.
"You just said you would bless Brother Hui to get the top prize, but do you know the news?"
"Brother Hui passed the examination and became a Jinshi?" The old patriarch looked at Li Baichong with great excitement and asked.
When the old patriarch asked this question, Li Baicheng drew a black line on his head.
"If Tinghui had failed the examination, he would have left the capital and rushed back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province by now!"
"Did you receive any news that Tinghui rushed back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province?" Li Baichong asked angrily.
Hearing what Li Baichong said, the old patriarch touched his head in embarrassment, "It seems I didn't receive it!"
"That's it!"
"You have to pay tribute to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky. Count me in. May my good apprentice be able to pass the exam!" Li Baichong was not exempt from the common custom. He smiled and said to the old patriarch.
"That's natural!"
"Once a teacher, always a father!" The old patriarch also said to Li Baichong happily.
The two old men were actually playing with these things at this time.
…
"Brother Rong, sister-in-law!"
"Today is the most important moment in Brother Hui's life. You two must protect Brother Hui well!"
"Let Brother Hui get a good ranking in the palace examination!"
It is different from the old patriarch and Li Baichong who visited all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
The worship of Uncle Erzhu hit the point directly.
"The boss!"
"Don't worry, Brother Hui is a lucky man. He will definitely be admitted to the Jinshi!"
"What's more, haven't you noticed that Lian'er has been following Brother Hui'er all this time!"
"If nothing else, Lian'er is a prosperous woman, and she is a koi carp!"
"As long as Lian'er is here, Brother Hui will definitely kill everyone in the examination room!"
Unlike others, Aunt Erzhu did not blindly trust Huang Tinghui.
She found another way and mentioned Wu Feilian who had been following Huang Tinghui.
Starting from Lian'er's koi attributes, Aunt Erzhu made a rather convincing conclusion.
Hearing what Aunt Erzhu said, Uncle Erzhu's eyes flashed, he patted his forehead and said, "Daughter-in-law, if you don't mention it, I have forgotten this!"
"Lian'er is with Tinghui!"
"As long as Lian'er is here, it's not impossible for our old Huang family to win the top prize!"
"Lian'er is Brother Hui's lucky star!" Uncle Erzhu said to Aunt Erzhu with a smile.
"That's right!"
"No one can compare to our Lian'er's good luck as a husband!"
"As long as Lian'er is here, Tinghui will definitely have no problem taking this exam!"
"There is smoke rising from the ancestral graves of the old Huang family. There will definitely be a champion!"
This couple sings and sings, and they are full of confidence that Huang Tinghui will win the first prize in the palace examination.
They were immediately thinking about how they should prepare to welcome their nephew, Huang Tinghui, after he really passed the exam.
After all, becoming the number one scholar is something that is simply out of reach for ordinary people.
Huang Tinghui, who was far away in the palace city, confronting the current young emperor and the chief minister of the cabinet Zhang Julu, must have never imagined that his uncle and aunt Erzhu were actually thinking about these things.
Like the people from Huangjia Village, Uncle Erzhu and Aunt Erzhu.
Far in the north, Li Dingguo, who had already become a general of eight thousand cavalry, unexpectedly stopped training for a day.
While Li Dingguo was studying some ancient books on the art of war left to him by Huang Tinghui, he also studied for a while how to improve the efficiency and lethality of firearms.
After handling these matters, Li Dingguo raised his head and looked in the direction of the capital. He secretly said in his heart: "Ting Hui, you will definitely not let me down!"
"You and I, together with that guy Li Zisong, will support this decadent chariot of Dasheng Kingdom in the future!"
"In the Battle of the Northern Territory, although the Mongol people retreated, the northern border defense line that Mr. Wang finally built was riddled with holes because he was thrown away!"
"Although the Mongol people probably won't go south to plunder our Dasheng Kingdom in the short term, you and I both know that!"
"They will eventually go south, and we may not be able to wait too long!" Li Dingguo thought secretly in his heart.
At the same time, he also sent his blessings to Huang Tinghui who was far away in the capital.
Like Li Dingguo, Li Zisong, Fatty Gong and others also sent blessings to Huang Tinghui.
Even Zheng Dasheng, the thief who was far away at sea and became the most powerful thief in the sea, also looked in the direction of the capital.
Although Zheng Dasheng was extremely conflicted at this time and his ambitions were also growing.
But as soon as he heard the three words Huang Tinghui, he still felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness.
In the end, Zheng Dasheng could only sigh and said in the direction of the capital, "Oh, that's all!"
"Huang Tinghui, you are the most evil scholar I have ever seen!"
"I know what you're capable of!"
"I hope your imperial examination will go well and you will become a powerful minister in the future!"
"I've spent a lot of money on you this time!"
"You can't let me down!"
…
Huang Tinghui did not know the earnest expectations of so many people.
But what Huang Tinghui knows, if the news that he has passed the No. 1 Scholar examination is known to everyone who cares about him, then they will definitely be happy for him.
The process of matching the prelude to the court is quite boring, but fortunately Huang Tinghui is used to this situation.
His behavior when facing the young emperor and a group of ministers was also extremely decent.
This made many people look at this new top pick with admiration.
The little emperor was especially happy, after all, he had personally appointed the number one scholar this time.
Huang Tinghui performed well, isn't this just to make the little emperor look good?
As a result, the young emperor gave Huang Tinghui the official position of a sixth-rank official.
Although this official position does not have any responsibilities, for Huang Tinghui, who has just become the number one scholar, this starting point is much higher than that of other scholars.
Others originally valued Huang Tinghui very highly, but now that they saw that Huang Tinghui had won the little emperor's heart, they naturally looked at Huang Tinghui in a new light.
In addition to Huang Tinghui, several other scholars were also summoned by the young emperor.
After the top ten were all summoned once by the little emperor, the Golden Palace Legend was officially over.
After that, the whip was blown three times, and a group of officials led the scholars who had won the Jinshi to bow and kowtow three times.
The emperor just left the hall.
This is where the official bragging on the imperial street begins.
For a group of new scholars, being praised as an official in the imperial court can be said to be the most glorious moment in their lives.
Although about 60% to 70% of this style was taken away by Huang Tinghui, who was the number one scholar, who made Huang Tinghui, the number one scholar, so handsome and talented?
As for the 100% or 20% charm, it was taken away by the second place, that is, the son of Hui Yuan, Ci Fu, and Tan Hwa Lang.
Including Tang Zihu, who ranked tenth in the second class, other scholars could only take away only 10% of the glory.
But this did not calm the excitement of the scholars.
After all, this is the most glorious moment!
"Look, that's the Number One Scholar. He's so handsome. It would be great if my future husband could be like this!"
"That's the number one scholar. If your husband is one-tenth as good as the number one scholar, you can burn incense!"
"I wonder which girl is worthy of such a top scholar?"
"The royal family has a lot of money. I'm afraid they will all be secretly interested in this number one scholar!"
"I heard that the number one scholar has already married a wife!"
"If you marry a wife, why can't you divorce her? How can a scholar get married to an ordinary person?"
Listening to the discussion among the women, Lian'er didn't particularly mind.
But the light in her eyes still dimmed.
I had thought that this day would come, but then I saw that my husband won the first prize.
All kinds of tastes lingered in her heart, and the little girl burst into tears for a while.
She thought that if her husband made other choices in the future, she would probably leave him for her husband!
Lian'er will naturally not delay her husband's future.
Just as Wu Feilian was thinking wildly, a figure suddenly fell off the horse.
The scholars following that man reined in their horses one by one. After all, if the champion didn't move forward, they would not dare to cross.
"Everyone, I'm sorry!"
"Tinghui noticed that his wife is in front of him, please wait a moment!"
When Huang Tinghui explained this, everyone immediately understood.
Unexpectedly, Zhuangyuan Lang was a man who doted on his wife so much, and everyone expressed their understanding.
At this time, Huang Tinghui slowly walked to Wu Feilian's side, and saw him taking off the red flower he was wearing, and hanging the red flower on the little girl's body.
"My wife is the most beautiful!" Huang Tinghui said without hesitation in front of everyone.
His voice was loud, and his purpose was naturally to tell everyone that even though he was already the number one scholar, he would never abandon his first wife.
The onlookers were stunned for a moment and didn't understand what was going on at first, but after they realized what was going on, they all applauded vigorously.
Amid the flood of applause, Huang Tinghui whispered something into Wu Feilian's ear.
In that instant, the little girl's face turned crimson.
"Husband, you big bad guy!" the little girl said coquettishly.
She raised her head and looked directly at her husband who was riding back on the horse.
At this moment, the little girl understood that she would never be abandoned by her husband.
But that night, Huang Tinghui, the new No. 1 scholar, secretly blew out the candles and ushered in one of the most wonderful moments in his life.
The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, the time when the gold medal is named!
Huang Tinghui gained both of the two great pleasures in life in one day.
And Huang Tinghui and the little girl Wu Feilian will live happily forever.
Just like a long time ago, Wu Feilian asked Huang Tinghui a question, "Husband, how long will you like me?"
At that time, Huang Tinghui gave Wu Feilian an answer without hesitation, "It's not like, it's love!"
"My husband will love you in this life, the next life, the next life..."
"My husband will accompany you in this life, the next life, the next life..."
"Husband, I don't ask for anything else. I just want to take care of you forever, make you happy, and make you happy!"
"Together with my husband, the two of us will live happily together!"
