The queen mother pursed her lips and smiled slightly. She sat down slowly, glanced at King Zhao quietly, and said with a shallow voice: "Zhi Jing."

What she called out was the name of King Zhao, showing the family's appearance, and said with a kind look on her face.

"After the death of the late emperor, there were no descendants. It was the Ai family who asked your son to be the emperor. Now the Ai family is just a woman, and the emperor is young. The so-called lord is young and the country is doubtful. At this time, people like Zhijing are needed to assist you with all your heart and strength. Can you... understand the meaning of the Ai family?"

Chen Zhijing understood that the Empress Dowager meant that he was a royal family who was a regent, and he had no choice but to do so in trouble.

Chen Zhijing hurriedly said, "Empress, it's my brother's fault. I came here to apologize. In addition, I hope that the empress can be judged."

The Queen Mother only glanced at him lightly, then sat up straight, and said with a serious look on her face: "After saying that, what's the matter?"

Chen Zhijing raised his head, his eyes fell on the empress dowager's delicate face, and then frowned and said very seriously.

"The system of Taizu, there is no limit between the civil and military tests, but there have always been clear paths between civil and military tests. But I never expected that the top scholar in the imperial examination in the current imperial examination was actually a literary scholar. All the subordinate departments and even in the cabinet were whispering, saying that yes, people should not be separated. If this is the case, if Chen Kaizhi wins the civil list again, wouldn't he want to be both a military officer and a civil servant? Everything has been followed. Since Chen Kaizhi won the military score, why would he be allowed to join Lin Wei and serve as a military position?"

The Empress Dowager understood Chen Zhijing's meaning, but she was displeased, but she tried her best to prevent any joy and anger from appearing on her beautiful face.

In history, those who have good grades in the literature exam will have to enter the Hanlin Academy. If they have poor grades, they will have to go to various departments to observe politics; while those who have good grades in the martial arts exam will have to enter the Shanglin Guard. This Shanglin Guard is the personal military institution of the Imperial Guard and the core of the Imperial Guard. Those who have poor grades will be sent to various battalions for study.

Now Chen Kai has become the top martial arts scholar and is qualified to enter the Lin position. But once he is on the test list of the article, he can't let him go to various departments to observe politics again. Everything has its importance.

but……

Although the Empress Dowager is a woman, she is not an ordinary woman. How come she doesn’t understand the difference between a civil servant and a military officer?

The empress dowager's eyes flashed. If this was the case, wouldn't Chen Kaizhi suffer a loss?

Although it is an excellent mission to enter Shanglin Wei, civil servants are much more expensive than military officers.

Even though the empress dowager hoped that Chen Kaizhi would have a good official position, her delicate face was still calm. She gently put her hand on the desk, guessing Chen Zhijing's thoughts in her heart, then squinted her eyes deeply, thought for a while, and then pondered.

"What do you mean is that Chen Kaizhi and Wen and Wu are only allowed to serve as a military position?"

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "No, I don't mean this, but the officials intend to do so."

"Of course, this is not aggrieved him. It's just that he won the top scorer in his martial arts exam. It can be seen that if this person takes up a military position, he can better serve the court."

The Queen Mother frowned: "But his literary talent is also unparalleled."

"This..." Chen Zhijing frowned, as if he was a little hesitant, but he quickly found a reason to refute and said solemnly: "Compared with his literary talent, he made a big splash after all, and he was the first in the high school martial arts examination. If such a talent is a civil servant, all officials will inevitably feel a pity."

The empress dowager's heart sank slightly, and she suddenly realized that King Zhao's intention was already very clear. This was to take advantage of this unprecedented precedent to make Chen Kaiyi surrender to a military officer for the rest of his life.

Such thoughts are really deep.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help feeling a little cold, her limbs were cold, but in a blink of an eye, the Empress Dowager calmed down her chaotic emotions. She smiled coldly and said, "But what if he won the top scorer in the literary exam?"

King Chen Zhijing of Zhao was very calm, with a slightly curled mouth and a smile that was particularly calm.

"If this is the case, I will not say anything. But I think that although Chen Kaizhi is talented, it really takes some luck to be the first in literature. Many celebrities and scholars in the world have also participated in the literary exam, and many of them have failed. Of course, I have no intention of looking down on Chen Kaizhi. My brother means that whether it is a literary exam or a military exam, he always takes his director to appoint him. Only then can he make full use of his talents. My brother also thinks what the court thinks. Now the empress is regent, so he should open up his own way of speaking and listen to both sides."

King Zhao said this very beautifully. If you don’t know what’s inside, you will definitely praise the wise king.

But the person who heard this was the queen mother. The queen mother looked at her brother-in-law, with handsome facial features, clear eyes, and even a faint demeanor. Such a person made the queen mother work hard, and even couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. The hand hidden in her cuffs was clenched tightly into a fist, which finally made her endure her emotions.

This is not a good idea. It is obviously taking this opportunity to regain the face of his last time, and it is clearly just a tit-for-tat to Chen Kaizhi.

……………………

At this time, the sky was already bright. On this morning when the cold wind was still exposed, the sunshine that had crawled out gradually warmed up the earth.

Outside the academy, with the sound of drums, countless juren who were waiting for the list outside the academy started to clamor, and many began to push forward. Chen Kaizhi was also extremely excited by the warm atmosphere.

With countless expectations, I finally saw several clerks coming out slowly, and the clerks first posted the first list.

Chen Kaizhi narrowed his eyes, looked at it carefully, and quickly searched for his name on it. There were more than fifty names on this list, and there were already people in the crowd: "Why are there no name for me?"

"This is the third-class, don't worry, don't worry, the second-class ranking article will come out soon."

"It's over, it's over. If I don't win the third grade, I will definitely not be able to win the second grade."

"I...I'm...I'm...I'm..." Someone suddenly let out a roar, the voice was hoarse, but full of excitement.

Then, the second list was released, with more than thirty names.

The crowd was even more noisy, and it was hard to tell who said what.

Chen Kaizhi's heart sank. He didn't have the second or third grades, so he wouldn't... he failed the exam.

This exam was entirely written by him. He relied on his own ability and did not copy any of his predecessors' articles. Because of this, Chen Kaizhi actually felt very uneasy. He felt that his heart had fallen into his throat. In the past two years, his countless efforts and hard work, his ability to remember everything, and his advice to many famous teachers, he originally thought... no matter what, he could leave a name on the list.

He was confident that he was from the perspective of later generations, so he had great advantages in terms of current literature.

After glanced at the names one by one, Chen Kaizhi felt a vague feeling in his heart.

Those who refused to disperse were waiting for the last list with their breath.

After the officers put the list on the list, Chen Kaizhi stared at the list... Huh...

The top spot...isn't it Chen Kaizhi?

What, first place in the first place?

My own article actually won the first place in the first place!

Chen Kaizhi's body trembled, and all his restlessness was suddenly replaced by indescribable excitement. He seemed to feel the cells in his body jumping and cheering. This was a timely text written by himself.

Respect me to be old...

Chen Kaizhi even felt that the world suddenly became unreal, and his whole body seemed to be floating.

However, a mid-year-old juren standing beside him suddenly released a sad voice: "God, I haven't won again, three years later, three years later, three years later, and three years later, why did I have such luck in studying for the rest of my life?"

The sad voice seemed to be contagious. After all, more candidates present lost their reputation than high school students, so many people cried and were heartbroken.

Even those who are on the list of the gold medals can empathize with this emotion. Everyone is a scholar and knows that the opportunity for studying in this life is really slim. It is not just as simple as hard work. How many people work hard to achieve success, but the end of the end is a miserable end.

Some people have taken the exam again and again, and this generation seems to have spent the exam and problem solving. Those who fail the exam will naturally feel as if they are dead, while those who are on the exam will naturally feel excited and tears are filled with tears.

Some people were crying to death, some left sadly, and some were still looking at the list unwillingly, with tears in their eyes.

Chen Kaizhi wanted to be excited and ranked first in high school. This was the greatest achievement in his life for him, but at this time, he couldn't help but feel sad. He had no joy. He was just a lucky leader, looking at the person who was originally running on the starting line and stood sadly.

Of course, some people suddenly fell to the ground because of high school, snatched the ground with their heads and said a whisper: "I've won... I've won... Dad, Dad, have you seen it? I've been in high school, and I've had a bright future since then, and since then... I've revitalized my family business."

A title on the gold list means that you can get everything you need, official positions, wealth, people above others, and those rich families can make their family business more prosperous. For poor families, they become famous in one fell swoop, and from then on, they have grown up from a huge building on the ground.

"I'm hit..." Chen Kaizhi did not shout at all, but couldn't help but murmur. He clenched his fists, and his elegant face was particularly dazzling in the rippling sunlight.

In Luoyang Palace, not far from the Academy, an eunuch quickly entered the palace with the list sent by the Academy. He walked to Taiping Hall panting, but was intercepted by Zhang Jing: "Can the list of the Academy be delivered?"

"Send... is here..." The eunuch panted and squeezed out a smile and said, "Eunuch Zhang, you..."

"Bring it." Zhang Jing stretched out his hand unceremoniously.
