In front of the Confucian Temple, it was vast and vast, with tens of thousands of people crowded together. Lin Su really couldn't find where his second brother and the others were.
But you don’t necessarily have to find them.
The students around him were still discussing the problem.
Many people said that this year's test questions were really difficult.
Yes, yes, all of these are difficult, but the most difficult thing is the strategy, the strategy to save the country. Who has that ability?
Someone smiled faintly, "Who doesn't have the ability to save the country? There are many methods, it just depends on whether you choose correctly. Strengthening the army will save the country, enriching the people will save the country, and uniting vertical and horizontal alliances will also save the country."
Someone next to me agreed. What Xiongtai said was, which one did you choose?
Strong soldiers! I heard that the demon clan has a kind of strange weapon in Shen Yuan Valley. If you can borrow it, you will be able to kill millions of enemies and Yelang Kingdom will be destroyed easily. And the best thing is that this demon clan happens to be in Shen Yuan Valley.
On the side of Huating...
Lin Sufu, please don’t say that you are taking the same subject as me. I can’t afford to embarrass this person. Please, this is to save the country, not to let your imagination run wild...
Fortunately, someone mentioned a new topic. I think this year’s words are the most deceptive, requiring gentleness. Why? We are all men.
Yes, Lin Su also felt this way in her heart.
Someone answered: This matter is very secretive. Experts have analyzed it and it is related to...the poetic genius named Lin.
Huh? Lin Su's eyes widened...
Is this related to me? Why didn’t I know? I also wonder if the person who asked the question has changed...
The man explained, didn't the man surnamed Lin play "Women's Colorful Poems" in Xishan? This play was quite provocative and caused a lot of controversy. Some people thought that women should introduce literary education, otherwise, literary
The Tao is only masculine and lacks gentleness, which is ultimately incomplete.
The temple was very unhappy, so it deliberately came up with such a topic, so that the whole world could see that men can also be gentle, and that without women, culture is not incomplete...
Lin Su was shocked. Is this really the reason?
Not to mention, it is really possible.
For thousands of years, men have always been the top leaders in literature and there have never been women. This thousands-year-old bad habit is not so easy to shake. Even the temple will definitely be extremely conservative on this issue and use a gentle question.
, tell the whole world that men can do anything in the literary world, there is no disability, and there is no need for women.
I view the problem too simply.
The meeting at Xishan didn't bring any changes to the world, and it might have brought trouble to itself - for example, it made the temple unhappy.
…
The watchman of the Confucian Temple put on festive attire today, with a high crown and long robe. He stood on the top of the building, looking down at the capital. He slowly raised his hand: "The auspicious time has come, let's enlarge the list of Cangshi Jinshi!"
There are two lists, one is the Granted Scholars List, and the other is the Holy Scholars List. In terms of gold content, the Holy Scholars List is naturally much more valuable, but nowadays, everyone still hopes that their name will appear quickly, even if
Just be the last one, no matter what, the imperial examination, the last test of the scientific examination, how many people pursue this all their lives?
If you get on the list, you will be a literary scholar from now on. If you don't get on the list, you will be nothing.
As for who is ranked on the list, it is actually a bit new at this time. After a few years, who still remembers who is ranked? There is only one name that will be immortalized in history, and that is the number one pick. Even the second and third overall picks are
There is no sense of existence.
Zhuangyuanlang is the first among the Holy Scholars. In the future, when entering the temple, the main entrance will be wide open. Is it unimaginable for ordinary people? Therefore, at least 99% of the more than 50,000 people hope that their names will appear on this page.
To be on the list of Jinshi, after more than ten or twenty years of hard study, success or failure depends on this, it is too torturous.
The sooner you see your name, the sooner you get relief.
Zeng Shigui held Lin Jialiang's hand tightly. His own hand was also cold. On that day, he was the last person to take the test in Huichang City. When he saw his name, he couldn't help but kneel to his wife and almost provoked her.
When a great disaster occurred, it was Lin Su who stepped forward to rescue him, saving his title and the life of his wife Xiuniang. Later, it was the Lin brothers who gave him money to return home, and Jiang
When hundreds of thousands of Tantan people were facing life and death, it was he who appeared by his side to help his family, but where is that person today?
Fifty thousand students, 440 hopeful places, but he will not be among them!
Was he among the crowd? Or was he watching them quietly from a distant rooftop? Zeng Shigui's tears slowly shed. These tears were shed for him, for that outstanding literary genius, and for
This world flows...
Lin Jialiang bit his lips tightly, his mind already in a state of confusion.
He was able to stand in the examination room of the palace examination because of his third brother. Without his third brother, he would not have been able to pass the examination, let alone the palace examination. But now, he is here waiting for his fate, which gives him hope and gives him hope.
The third brother who has given hope to the entire Lin family, the third brother of a generation of poets, where are you? Don’t cry! This year, you have been the second brother’s support. Next, it’s my turn! I will fulfill my duties, done!
I defended the Lin family, even if they were defeated, I am also your brother who will never leave you.
Zhang Haoran, Huo Qi, Li Yangxin, and Li Xiaotian stood together, just a few people away from Lin Jialiang, Zeng Shigui, and Qiu Mochi. They were always paying attention to Lin Jialiang.
"Brother Zhang, although nearly a month has passed since the Xishan meeting, I still think it's like yesterday." Huo Qi sighed.
"Yeah, who would have thought that the unrivaled Young Master Lin would end up like this? It's true..." Li Yangxin said, in the Confucian Temple, he did not dare to say the last two words: unfair.
Zhang Haoran sighed softly: "You only met him a month ago, and I had already met him as early as this time last year. At that time, I made an appointment with him for the imperial examination in the capital..." His voice was very soft.
, I can’t say anything further.
"Do you regret it?" Huo Qi said softly.
"What can I regret? Regret that I shouldn't have dated him? Regret that I shouldn't be friends with him? Brother Huo, Brother Li, Brother Li, after the scientific examination, let's go see him, regardless of our own success or failure..."
Li Xiaotian sighed softly: "The results are released!"
The first name is Zhao Ji!
There was a cheer from the crowd, and Lin Jialiang glanced around and saw Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji from Haining. He and Lin Su started from the provincial examination and fought hard all the way. Today, he finally won, even if it is
Ranking last in the palace examination is also a huge honor.
Zhao Ji is actually a little relaxed these days, but who would have thought that he would still get hit.
The second name appears, Song Yang, I don’t recognize it...
The third name...
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred names were listed. Each name appeared, setting off a wave of cheers. Some came from the team, some came from a street outside the Confucian Temple, and some came from other distant cities.
When the results of the imperial examination were released, officials from all over the country watched directly. Baoshan and Magistrate Yang also watched live on the embankment through official seals. There was another person next to them, but it was Yulou. This time, my husband took the examination in the capital and stayed at the house of the young mistress, with Yulou as his concubine.
Of course, I couldn't follow him, so I sent several jars of wine to Magistrate Yang, and became a small follower who helped the two big guys pour wine, watching the gold list the whole time...
"Zhao Jizhong is a Jinshi. There is another member of the Zhao family, Zhao Yuanxiong, who is also taking the scientific examination. Zhao Yuanxiong is a member of the Beijing Examination Committee and will definitely be a Holy Jinshi. The Zhao family has become prosperous again, and this old boy Zhao Xun has become prestigious again." Governor Yang said.
Baoshan took a long sip of wine and said, "I hope the Lin family brothers can argue with each other, otherwise, the Zhao family will really bully the Lin family."
"Don't worry! Young Master Jialiang, I can't guarantee that Young Master Lin will definitely be on the list, and he might even be better than Zhao Yuanxiong."
One hundred, two hundred, and at the two hundred and seventieth time, Qiu Mochi's name appeared.
Zhang Haoran, Zeng Shigui and others congratulated Qiu Mochi. Qiu Mochi shook Lin Jialiang's hand tightly in response, but he did not cheer.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Qi appeared.
Li Yang's new appearance.
When there were only a dozen or so names left on this list, Zhang Haoran appeared!
But Zhang Haoran didn't feel excited at all. He even didn't dare to look at Lin Jialiang.
Lin Su has been abolished, and Lin Jialiang's name has not yet appeared. He cannot be better than me, he failed the list!
Once the two great geniuses of the Lin family were wiped out, how difficult would it be for the Lin family to rise to prominence?
In the rental yard, in the dark night, dressed in green, Sister Chen stared blankly at the gold list, with her heart in her throat, show up quickly, show up quickly, don't care about your rank, show up quickly...
On the Haining embankment, Yulou's nails dug deeply into her flesh. She was extremely nervous. The list was almost finished. Where is the husband? Where is the third son? Why didn't he see any of them?
The Qu family, Qu Xiu stood alone on the roof of Yixianyuan, staring at the giant list. Her chest heaved and she firmly grasped the railing of the roof. Husband, husband! You show up quickly. Uncle is finished. You can't be finished. The Lin family needs you.
, the Qu family also needs you...
Another name jumped out, Zeng Shigui!
Ranking is third from the bottom!
As soon as this name came out, Zeng Shigui was shocked. He looked at the giant list in surprise. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. He clearly understood, Zeng Shigui, Jicheng, Quzhou!
It was him, he actually won! And he was third on the list of Jinshi!
"Brother Zeng! Congratulations!" Lin Jialiang had a sincere smile on his face.
"Brother Lin! I owe everything to you brothers for what I am today. If I can win, you will definitely be able to win even more!" Zeng Shigui held Lin Jialiang's hand tightly.
"I hope..." Lin Jialiang's head was blown by the cold wind, and his whole body felt chilly.
The list is almost finished, and his name still hasn't appeared. Perhaps it only confirms that he failed the list!
Zeng Shigui's success did give him confidence, but this confidence was not enough because he was different from Zeng Shigui. Zeng Shigui was not involved in the circle of right and wrong among the court officials. But what about Lin Jialiang? In the eyes of the court officials, he was not admitted.
If he is on the list of candidates for Jinshi and His Majesty the Emperor just takes his name away, what can he do?
The penultimate name is Zhang Hong!
As soon as Zhang Hong's name came out, it triggered a strange wave.
Zhang Hong himself was stupid.
What? I just confer Jinshi? One step away from becoming a Holy Jinshi?
The Holy Family took action to change his fate, but in the end it was a one-sided move.
Zhao Yuanxiong said: "Brother Zhang, you are already great. After all, you are two full hours late. If you are given two more hours, you will definitely be a Holy Scholar!"
Zhang Hong's teeth slowly clenched, and he found the culprit. The culprit was Lin Su. If it weren't for him, how could he waste two hours? If it weren't for him, he would have crossed the chasm between being awarded a Jinshi and a Holy Jinshi.
, it is of great significance to the Zhang family and is unparalleled. If you step into the Holy Jinshi, you are qualified to marry with the Holy Family. If you don't step in, the marriage will be in trouble again. One step makes a real difference...
The last member of the Jinshi family appeared, Zuo Chunlang. Zuo Chunlang escaped from Lin Su's men. Facts have proved that the Zuo family paid a precious jade pen to be valuable, in exchange for a literary scholar.
After all the names were played, Qu Xiu from Yixian Yuan slowly collapsed, with tears streaming from her eyes.
With a shout, a figure rushed upstairs. It was her sister Qu Juan. Qu Juan shouted: "Sister, why did they all fail the exam? All failed? Even brother Jin didn't pass... I looked for my grandfather, and he locked me up.
The door is not open in the study room..."
Qu Xiu slowly stood up: "Sister, the storm of the Qu family is coming. In terms of culture, we have lost! A big defeat! A complete defeat! But in the market, we still have to fight. From today on, you will come with me
, we sisters fight for the chance of survival for the Qu family!"
On the Haining River Embankment, Magistrate Yang and Baoshan looked at each other, feeling uneasy in each other's eyes...
No matter what happens to the third young master, at least the second young master has failed the examination. There is no way that the second young master will be a holy scholar.
They don't know about the rumor in the capital yet. If they knew, they would probably collapse by now.
Yulou's face turned pale: "Is this the end?... Mr. Yang, Mr. Baoshan, please speak..."
Baoshan sighed softly: "There is still a list, but... but... that list is too difficult... Miss Yulou, don't stand here anymore, go back first, I will tell you the results as soon as possible.
"
The jade tower pestle was there, making everyone nervous. Thousands of people outside the river beach also stretched their necks. They could not see what was going on inside the official seal, but it did not affect their expectations at all.
The flood has passed, and the Haining River Beach is as beautiful as ever. Everyone wants to tell the third son the good news, but today, they want to hear the good news that the Lin brothers were named to the gold list...
After the golden list was released, the heaven and earth suddenly shook, green light filled the air, and the giant list turned green.
The Holy Scholars List, the Holy Scholars were not given by the emperor, but were directly registered by the temple. Even the emperor did not know who the people on the Holy Scholars List were.
The entire square was silent, and as soon as the blue color came out, an invisible majesty filled the sky and the earth.
This list will determine the most sacred Holy Scholars. This list will also determine the top three, the number one, the second, and the third best scholar in the imperial examination.
The Holy Jinshi and the Granted Jinshi both belong to the Jinshi category. Judging from the literary mind, the title of Confucianism, and the official position, there seems to be no difference. However, the difference is very big. The Holy Jinshi is registered in the temple, and the Granted Jinshi
, are not listed in the temple directory, but if there are recruitments in the later period of the temple, it will only admit the "academic qualifications" recognized by itself, and will not recognize the "academic qualifications" of the dynasty, so the Holy Jinshi is so tempting.
The first name appeared. The name was a whole circle bigger than the gold list just now. The name appeared, Zhao Yuanxiong.
Zhao Yuanxiong's heart skipped a beat. Entering the Holy Scholars list was something he thought was a sure thing. Just kidding, the capital would try to get the top spot. He couldn't make it to the Holy Scholars list. He never expected that he would be the last one.
It fell off little by little, and for a moment, emotions of joy, shame, and a hint of fear emerged in his mind.
Several students around him congratulated him in unison, except for Zhang Hong, who was still confused. This chapter has been completed!
