Chapter 192 The big waves wash away the sand and finally become gold
Even though several days have passed, he received various reward arrangements from the court in the following days. Even at this moment, he had already sat on a pure white high-headed horse, gathered with a huge team, slowly moving forward along the wide imperial road, and held a grand ceremony of parading on the streets before entering the palace. As a undergraduate, Li Ling and Li Wenzhong, who had infinite glory, still felt very unreal, as if he was in a dream.
The horse under his crotch was gentle and agile, with light steps without any bumps, and led him to the front of the team. On both sides of the imperial road, there were all kinds of excitement and envious people in the capital. They either cheered or pointed out all the new Jinshi, including Li Ling, and taught by example with their children, so that they would also work hard to study hard, and become the same pillars of the court as these glorious Jinshi in the future, and glorified their ancestors...
The cheers, screams, and teaching sounds kept coming into Li Ling's ears, which made him feel a little bit back and smiled and waved to all sides. His actions attracted the repeated cheers of many big girls and wives on both sides. They stared at the new Tanhualang one by one, and wanted to go forward and drag him down and take him home to be a couple.
"Li Tanhua...Li Tanhua looked at me. He was so handsome..."
"No, Li Tanhua is obviously looking at me! He and I are born with each other. I must ask my father to propose marriage to me. In this life, I will not marry Li Tanhua..."
For a time, all the girls' calls continued to spread along the way. All the girls in Luoyang who were waiting to be named after the boudoir had already regarded the young, handsome and talented Tanhua Li Ling as the only good match.
This is not that Li Ling is so handsome, and can attract women from all over the city to compete. It is really a bit dazzling. Coupled with the other two, all the girls focus on him.
The top scorer in undergraduate studies was Huiyuan, Jiangnan Li Fang. Although she was only about thirty years old, she had a little more vicissitudes on her face. Moreover, due to years of hard study, she had severe hair loss. Even if she was wearing a crown and hat, she could still see some clues, so she naturally could not attract the favor of women who love beauty.
As for the second place, he is older, and he is in his forties and is even less likely to attract much attention. This makes them two of them become green leaves, just to set off Li Ling, the red flower that has just bloomed, and it causes cheers and screams all the way, and it has a very popular young and handsome man in his later generations debuted and is popular with the style of thousands of ignorant girls.
This situation continued until the team passed through the towering Suzaku Gate and officially entered the imperial city boundary. The situation improved a lot after the people watching on both sides of the Imperial Road were replaced by court officials and their families. However, a few cheers came from time to time in the crowd, especially when the palace approached, a voice overwhelmed everything: "Brother...Brother... Yue'er is proud of you. Although Dad and Sister are not here, I think they are the same." However, Li Yue'er was brought here by the people in the government earlier. At this moment, seeing her brother parading on horseback in such a glorious way, she naturally couldn't hide her excitement. She jumped and yelled in the crowd.
Li Ling followed the voice and saw Yue'er over there. Li Tong, Li Moyun and others, and also showed a smile from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he also told himself in his heart that although this is a bit strange in the Tanhua, since it was decided by the court, there is no problem. With this starting point, he will definitely achieve twice the result in the officialdom in the future, and he will be able to realize his ideals smoothly.
After understanding this, Li Ling's hands holding the reins tightened even more, and his legs were slightly clamped, causing the horse under his crotch to speed up slightly, and headed straight towards the palace gate that had slowly opened in front, the Meridian Gate - Dayue Gate.
This moment is the true glory of no glory. In addition to the emperor and the queen, only three of the best students in every three years can walk through this city gate that represents the highest honor and power of the empire.
At this moment, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes in the imperial city and more than 100,000 pairs of eyes outside the city gathered together to three people wearing big red official robes and white horses who had left the entire parade and approached the noon gate bit by bit. Finally, the horse's hooves slowly entered one after another.
Suddenly, cheers spread throughout the capital. Even the people who did not attend the celebration would be affected by the omnipotent cheers. They stopped their movements and looked into the distance in the direction of the palace.
After ten years of hard work, the final ultimate wish and highest expectation are at this moment! This moment is the pinnacle of everyone's life. At this moment, many talented generals and ministers can only watch from afar, but the protagonists are only the three of them!
In the square in front of the Tai Chi Hall, civil, military and nobles stood in line. They all looked at the three figures passing through the Meridian Gate with a solemn expression. Although they had professional smiles on their faces, they could not see much envy in their eyes, and they even had little appreciation.
Only those who stand at such a high place will understand that for these scholars who have worked hard to get to the present day, today is indeed the highlight of their lives, but it is also likely that they are their highest point. Because after today, they will become lost in the public and enter the officialdom. Perhaps even ordinary officials who only have the fame of juren or even have no fame can play them all around.
The so-called imperial examination is certainly the right way to become an official now, but the factor that can really make an official go higher or far is not their imperial examination...
It is said that the imperial examination is just like the golden one being seen when the waves wash away the sand, but whether this gold is useful or not has to be truly revealed in the next tests. As the Three Tripod Armor, the three people standing at the top of all the Jinshi will become special existences that countless people are watching.
"Prime Minister Lu, that Tanhua Li Ling is determined by His Majesty. So what should we do next?" A voice sounded behind Lu Zhen, but it was Jian Yaochen, the Minister of Personnel of the current dynasty, who was seeking opinions. His eyes were quite playful looking at Li Tanhua who had already walked out of the deep city gate.
Li Ling, who was outside the officialdom before, didn't know how big a storm he caused in the court, especially in the civil servant group. Now how many pairs of deep-spoken eyes are staring at him from afar.
Lu Zhen was also looking at the young man in front of him, but his words were extremely plain: "Don't cause too much trouble. Your Majesty will naturally make corresponding arrangements if he makes this decision. As ministers, we just need to obey orders and don't do that unreasonable thing."
Jian Yaochen was a little stunned, but after taking a deep look at the left prime minister who had been standing for many years, he nodded and responded.
"Zhao Wang, then Li Ling really cannot be the position of Tanhua on his talent and knowledge. Should we wait until he enters the court?..." An official behind Right Prime Minister Wang Han also made a similar statement.
Wang Han just smiled and said, "Not busy! The trees are fascinated by the forest, and the wind will destroy them. Once this tree is deliberately pulled out and placed in the most conspicuous position, it will only be destroyed faster. How can those who do not match their positions for a long time? We just need to watch quietly, and don't be too reckless."
The leaders of the two major forces of the Korean Chinese Civil Service Group chose to watch almost at the same time when facing Li Ling, but in the same way, they obviously did not mean to use Li Ling for themselves.
However, in the noble team on the other side, a young man in his twenties was looking at Li Ling with interest. He was wearing an embroidered robe and exuding a noble body, but his appearance was always smiling and made people feel good about him.
Sun Lin, the sixth son of today, was named King Yong ten years ago. He is the only prince outside the crown prince who is in charge of the government and is also his favorite son of today.
At this time, his eyes kept shifting with Li Ling's actions, and he muttered softly: "Li Ling, can he be a wise minister?"
With countless eyes watching, Li Ling and the other two finally arrived at the square in front of the Tai Chi Hall. More than ten feet away from the ministers, they finally stopped the horse, and then several eunuchs came forward to support them, and got off the horse's back slightly clumsyly.
As he came on horseback, Li Ling felt a pain and numbness on his inner thighs. After all, this was his first time riding a horse. The other two were not much better than him, so after standing for a while, when other Jinshi who had walked into the palace from the side gate arrived, they were led by an old eunuch, walked through the team of ministers and headed towards the high Tai Chi Hall.
After climbing up the stairs, he came to the deep and vast hall, and the eunuch reported to him: "Your Majesty, there are a total of 151 Jinshi in the imperial examination this time. I will come to the palace to express my gratitude!"
Deep in the Tai Chi Hall, on the high imperial throne, Emperor Sun Yonggao sat, his eyes swept across the newly-student Jinshi, then smiled and nodded and said, "All Jinshis, come to the palace to speak."
Everyone knelt down and thanked each other, then got up and stepped over the high threshold, entered the palace, bowed and thanked each other again. Finally, they went upstairs and came to the Danmu, knelt down to the ground again, and bowed again. This is the great ceremony of kneeling three knelts and nine kowtows.
"You all have peace. From today on, you will be the backbone ministers of my Dayue court. I hope you can do your best to do your best to make some achievements for me Dayue and the people of the world!" The emperor raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up and said with encouragement.
As the emperor said it in one sentence, it means that the 151 people in the palace will officially become court officials.
They have been studying hard for decades, countless imperial examinations, the joy of success, and the trouble of failure... Just like the gold that keeps surging forward in the waves, under the wash, today, they finally reveal their golden and true temperament.
The big waves wash away the sand and eventually turn into gold!
Li Ling finally became a dignified court official in the third year after the journey!
Chapter completed!
