Chapter 31 tops the list
After the exam, the busiest time for examiners, they have to carefully grade each test paper.
Sometimes a single thought can determine the fate of a candidate.
"Father, mother, son, son, have brought you mutton again." Princess Changle happily entered the Lizheng Hall like an elf.
"What a good child for me. My father and your mother were just missing the taste of mutton that day, but you, the child, brought it to your father. Haha~haha."
His Majesty Li Er laughed happily.
After Cuizhu put the food box in place, the palace maid placed the bowls and chopsticks in place in turn.
Changle also sat down to have dinner with his father and mother.
The family enjoyed this warm time together for a rare occasion. Princess Changle snuggled obediently beside Queen Changsun, looking happy.
"Changle, what about the exam today by Mr. Kobayashi?" His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but ask the biggest question in his heart after he had enough.
"Father, don't you know, this year's policy discussions are four questions? Fortunately, Mr. Lin is very knowledgeable and talented."
Princess Changle replied with a glorious spirit.
"Oh, it's the Four Strategies?" His Majesty Li Er pretended to be confused. He had forced the fourth Strategies to be added, but it was really helpless.
"Yes, on the importance of the imperial examination. Mr. Kobayashi listed three disadvantages of the imperial examination today, and finally attached an article to the end. He said that whether he could enter the examiner's eyes depends entirely on God's will."
"Does Changle remember the key points of his strategy?" His Majesty Li Er asked curiously when he heard this. To put it bluntly, the main purpose of his addition of strategy was to increase Lin Ran. Of course, if you can discover more talents, it would be best.
"My son remember some, today's responsibility is not with others, but with my youth. A strong youth means a strong country, and a progressive youth means a progressive country~~" Princess Changle said with her beautiful big eyes.
"good."
His Majesty Li Er stood up suddenly. "What a saying is that a strong young man will be strong, and it is worth my hard work."
Empress Changsun looked at His Majesty Li Er inexplicably, and after a little thought, she understood the reason.
Although this is because of this kid's bean sprouts, his nephew Changsun Chong was almost beaten to death, and he is still lying on the hospital bed and cannot take care of himself, but his Majesty's love, coupled with his daughter Princess Changle's favor for that kid is increasing day by day.
Of course, Empress Changsun could not blame Lin Ran for Changsun Chong's incident. Besides, Lin Ran herself did nothing wrong. Instead, she added a lot of income to the treasury every day, which made His Majesty Li Er wake up laughing in his dreams recently.
The next morning, a policy paper appeared in front of His Majesty Li Er.
There is no doubt that what can make His Majesty Li Er care so much is Lin Ran’s test paper.
The more Li Erbi read, the more shocked he became, and the more he read, the more he felt a sense of mutual appreciation.
Everything Lin Ran said was almost surprisingly similar to his thoughts.
Even the disadvantages listed by Lin Ran are exactly the problems that His Majesty Li Er is worried about.
"Is this young man really a good minister and general sent by God to help him?" His Majesty Li Er thought over and over again in his heart.
His Majesty Li Er called Kong Yingda, the Minister of Rites, to explain a few words, and asked him to leave with Lin Ran's test paper.
On the 25th day of the second lunar month of the first year of Zhenguan, this is the agreed date for the Wannian County Spring Examination Examination.
"Young Master Kobayashi, let's go and see the list together after breakfast?"
Ma Zhou touched his head and said with a silly smile.
Since the exam ended, Ma Zhou stayed at Lin Ran's invitation. Anyway, he had no place to stand in Chang'an. Lin Ran's frankness and knowledge deeply impressed Ma Zhou.
"Wait, Brother Ma, you can just go and check the list yourself. I have to prepare some food and make delicious food at noon."
Lin Ran said with a smile.
"Brother, do you know that you have already made it to the list?"
Ma Zhou looked surprised when he heard this.
"No matter whether I pass the list or not, I will go back to Linjia Village after today. I have been bothering the teacher's family for so many days, so I should thank them very much."
Lin Ran said sincerely.
"Yes, if you pass the list, you have to wait for the final exam next year. If you fail, you have to wait for three years. Alas, it's really hard to get over it."
Ma Zhou said with emotion.
"Brother Ma and I will come to Linjia Village. Let's learn together and work together for the Tang Dynasty in the future."
"Okay, I'll go back to Linjia Village with you, as long as you don't dislike me for being able to eat."
Lin Ran laughed silently when he heard this. He was such a true man.
"Your Highness, I don't know if the young master can go to high school?"
Cuizhu spoke with a little worriedly in the carriage.
"Don't worry, even the father and emperor praised the plan made by the young master. How could he fail the exam?"
Princess Changle was not nervous at all whether Lin Ran would be the top spot. She was just curious about what ranking Lin Ran would get.
"Your Highness, look at the results are released."
Cuizhu lifted the curtains and saw that the outside was densely filled with candidates looking at the list.
"General Huang stopped the car, let's go down and take a look first."
Changle walked off the carriage with Cuizhu's support.
The yamen runners who released the results are posting the first list.
"I've won, haha~ I, Helan, finally," a candidate said with tears in his eyes.
"Congratulations, Brother Helan." There was immediately a sound of cheers and blessings around him.
Taking this step by step until next year's exam will basically be a sure winner of the Juren or Jinshi. Entering the officialdom, it is just around the corner. If you don't hurry up and get familiar with each other, then when will you wait?
Some people are happy and some are worried. Most of them are depressed.
There is still the last list left, and even Princess Changle and Cuizhu are slightly nervous.
Because there was no name on the red list of ten people.
The yamen runners slowly unfolded the last red list in their hands.
"Your Highness, Mr. Lin ranks first."
The sharp-eyed Cuizhu excitedly pulled Princess Changle's hand and jumped up and said.
Princess Changle looked up and found that the two big words Lin Ran jumped on the list, ranking first and extremely eye-catching.
"Let's go, go and report to Master Lin."
Princess Changle took Cuizhu's hand and went to the temporary residence of Lin Ran behind the county government.
"Go, go and check out the red list with Ma Zhou. The teacher is still waiting for your wedding banquet."
Wu Puguang said with a smile, he knew that Lin Ran's talent was stress-free, it was just a matter of the list.
"Congratulations to the top of the high school list. I am sure to have this wedding banquet today."
Princess Changle and Miss Cuizhu came hand in hand and said to Lin Ran with a smile.
"Is it really the top of the high school list?" Wu Puguang's voice trembled when he heard this.
"The red list has been listed, so you can go and watch it."
