From the Qinzheng Hall in the Imperial Palace, Du Chenghao, the Minister of Civil Service, walked out with a cheerful expression on his face, holding the document in his hand.
"Your Majesty, after the Spring Examination, the candidates' test papers have been reviewed by fifteen examiners. This is the list of high schools drawn up by the fifteen examiners. Please take a look at it.
The exam papers of all the candidates who are on the list have been placed under strict supervision at the official office, waiting for His Majesty to call them for verification at any time.
The old minister hopes that your majesty will immediately send the imperial army to the civil service office to get the candidates' test papers for verification and finalization.
Then the results will be released as soon as possible to comfort the eager hearts of students from all over the capital.
The old minister thinks that the students who are taking the exam in various prefectures and capitals are now waiting for the imperial court's list, and I am afraid they are tired of waiting."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and turned to look at Song Qing: "King Wuyi."
Song Qing strode out and bowed: "I am here."
"You immediately dispatch three hundred forbidden troops and go to the civil service office to escort the test papers of the famous students on the list to the palace."
"I obey the decree."
"By the way, the test papers of the failed students are also being sent here."
"In compliance with the order, I retire."
"Little Chengzi."
"yes."
Xiao Chengzi hurriedly walked down the Longtai, took the document from Du Chenghao's hand, ran back to the Longtai and handed it to Liu Mingzhi.
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea tree and moistened his throat, then took the document and started to read it.
The first name will be Lin Hanzhi of Yuan Dynasty.
Gongshi Li Wenbo.
Gongshi Chen Tonggong.
Gongshi Yan Yinan.
…
Gongsheng Li Shun.
During this spring examination, a total of 313 Gong students were registered, and all their names are on the page.
Liu Mingzhi roughly scanned the pages of the book for the famous students, and finally his eyes returned to the name of Huiyuan Lin Hanzhi, the top student.
Looking at Lin Hanzhi's name, Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but have his thoughts racing, and memories about last year flashed subconsciously in his mind.
It was the day when he and Tao Ying agreed that he would spend an unforgettable birthday with her. It was also the day when he met Lin Hanzhi, a poor student taking the exam.
If Tao Ying had a soul in heaven, I don't know how she would feel if she knew that the student who was so poor that she borrowed money from her husband actually got the top honors in high school.
When you think about it, you will definitely feel...sigh...
Forcibly expelling Tao Ying's voice and smile from his mind, Liu Mingzhi deliberately did not think deeply about it, but turned his mind to Lin Hanzhi.
This guy still owes me fifty taels of silver!
This time he is the top student in high school. After receiving the reward from the court, he should return it to himself, right?
I hope this guy can keep his promise, otherwise his whole life's future will be ruined because of these fifty taels of silver.
Liu Mingzhi closed the list of Gongsheng students in his hand with a half-smile, and looked at Du Chenghao.
"Ministry of Staff."
"The old minister is here."
"This famous guy, Hui Yuan Lin Hanzhi, seems to have been the number one Jie Yuan in Kunzhou back then, right?"
"Your Majesty, the first name on this list, Hui Yuan Lin Hanzhi, is the number one name in Kunzhou Prefecture, Jie Yuan.
Now, not only the veterans, but also the fifteen examiners are waiting eagerly to see if Lin Hanzhi can get a big three yuan at once.
If he wins the big three yuan in one fell swoop, then Lin Hanzhi will really become famous all over the world after ten years of hard work and no one cares about him.
You must know that it has been more than ten years, and there has not been a scholar in our dynasty who has won the Great Sanyuan in one fell swoop. Now I finally see a glimmer of hope.
I hope Lin Hanzhi can live up to expectations."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the expectant smile on Du Chenghao's face, put down the paperwork in his hand with a smile, got up and walked towards the foot of the dragon platform.
"If Du Aiqing said this, he definitely hopes to see our country produce a top-level Jinshi who can win three yuan in a row.
I thought about it, and in order for our new dynasty to produce a candidate who can pass the three-level exams of Zhongzhong University, I might as well cheat a little and reveal to Lin Hanzhi in advance the questions I will take in the imperial examination.
It might also help him to ascend to the throne of Enke's number one scholar in one fell swoop, fulfilling your wish, old love, how do you feel about it?"
Du Chenghao was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and shook his head and took a few steps back.
"Hey, your Majesty, you can't make this joke, you can't make this joke!
Enke's selection of scholars is to select talents for the imperial court, the cornerstone of the country, how can it be such a child's play?
Whether Lin Hanzhi can come out on top depends entirely on his own real talent and learning.
Not to mention the officials who could not see the big three yuan obtained through favoritism and fraud, Lin Hanzhi himself would also think that this was a humiliation to him by the imperial court.
This is about the court's face in the eyes of scholars all over the world. Your Majesty must not act recklessly!
If this spreads out, not only will the court's face be lost, but even His Majesty's majesty will be lost.
It’s not a child’s play, it must not be a child’s play.”
Not only Du Chenghao, but also the rest of the civil and military officials subconsciously twitched their eyes.
Looking at Du Chenghao who was serious about his business, Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but laugh.
"I was just joking, how could I take it seriously?
It is a matter of great importance for the imperial court to select talents, how could I treat it as a child's play."
"It would be better if I didn't, it would be better if I didn't. I have the guts to say something disrespectful. His Majesty never acts according to common sense. I am really worried that your Majesty will..."
"No! No!"
"Your Majesty, Song Qing, has come to see you and reports back to Your Majesty that all the test papers for the scholars who are taking the examination have been escorted back and are waiting outside the palace."
"Bring it in."
"As commanded."
Song Qing leaned out and waved to the Forbidden Army soldiers outside the hall, and more than twenty Forbidden Army soldiers walked into the hall in pairs carrying heavy and locked boxes.
After dividing the ten large boxes into two places and placing them, more than twenty imperial guards bowed to Liu Mingzhi and retreated out of the hall.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the box placed alone in front of him, then raised his eyes to look at Du Chenghao: "Old Aiqing, where is the key?"
"Take it with you! Take it with you! Your Majesty, wait a moment, I will unlock it immediately."
After a while, Liu Mingzhi picked up the test paper on the top of the box and took a look at the unidentified seal. Sure enough, it was Lin Hanzhi's test paper.
Liu Mingzhi took Lin Hanzhi's test paper and sat cross-legged on the carpet: "Xiao Chengzi."
"His Majesty?"
"Instruct the imperial dining room to prepare meals for me and all my ministers."
"As ordered, we will retire."
After Xiao Chengzi left, Liu Mingzhi waved to the surrounding civil and military officials.
"My dear friends, please help me check the test papers selected by Dai Haosong and his fifteen dear friends, so that the results can be released tomorrow.
If you encounter a controversial test paper, leave it in my hands."
"I obey your orders."
In less than a cup of tea, the sound of rustling test papers was echoed in the Qinzheng Hall.
From the time the sun rises in the east until the moonlight hangs in the sky, the voices in the Qinzheng Hall gradually calm down.
Liu Mingzhi and Manchao Wenwu sat in the Qinzheng Hall checking the test papers for a whole day before they were finally finished.
The next day, as soon as the sky brightened, the sound of gongs and drums echoed everywhere in the two cities inside and outside the capital.
The loud shouts of the officials and officials woke up all the students who were still sleeping.
Although they didn't know whether they would be able to go to high school, all the students hurriedly started to get up and wash up.
Restaurants, inns, inns, people's colleges...these places are full of students taking exams.
"Your Majesty has decreed that the imperial court will post a golden plaque at Jing'an Gate at Chensi. At Chensi, the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will announce the good news."
"Your Majesty has decreed that the imperial court will post a golden plaque at Jing'an Gate at Chensi. At Chensi, the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will announce the good news."
"Your Majesty has decreed that the imperial court will post a golden plaque at Jing'an Gate at Chensi. At Chensi, the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will announce the good news."
For a moment, I heard the shouts of the officials and officials along the street. Some students taking the exam ran in groups in the direction of Jing'an Gate. Some students were waiting in their temporary residences or at home.
.
I don’t know if I am confident that I can be named on the gold list, or if I am self-aware.
Around three o'clock in the morning, a slightly thin but youthful young man appeared on the street. The man held a baggage in his arms and ran panting to the Gua stall outside Penglai Restaurant and stopped.
"First...huh...sir, I have met you, sir. Is it polite to be a late student?"
Wansheng abided by the previous agreement and came to pay off the debt as promised.
