Today is the day of unveiling the results. At the same time as the results are announced, the provincial examination Jieyuan will also be announced.
On the street, you can also see scholars coming and going.
These scholars couldn't help but worry in their hearts, wondering what their results would be this time?
If you fail this time, you will have to wait for the main examination in two years.
Many scholars had previously thought that Xu Hanliang, who ranked first in the two rankings, would be the winner of this provincial examination.
But a piece of news that spread yesterday made many people murmur again.
It is said that the examiners who marked the test papers this time were very dissatisfied with Xu Hanliang.
In terms of policy and discussion, it is even more taboo.
Because of this, there have been some twists and turns in the ownership of Jieyuan's position.
Xu Hanliang, who came to see the list this time, no longer had the worries of the previous few days.
With the first place in the two rankings, there is a high probability that I will not fall behind, unless my two strategies are scrapped.
As for the discussion of his own policies, Xu Hanliang was actually well prepared in his mind when he wrote down those policies.
If you want to break the rigid rules, you will naturally have a group of people to protect you.
Wei Chenghe, who had watched Xu Hanliang take a detour a few days ago, now became cautious again.
As a student of Tianyi Academy, he had already received some information from his mountain chief.
Among the examiners for this exam are people from Tianyi College.
I also know that Xu Hanliang’s policy this time aroused criticism from many examiners.
Many examiners even wanted to scrap his test paper directly.
From this, it can be seen that Xu Hanliang's strategy is absolutely terrible, even the kind that cannot be seen.
He also ranked in the top three in the first two exams, and policy theory is also a subject in which he is very proficient.
After all, his father is the county magistrate, so he naturally knows and understands policy making.
What he wrote is even more standard than the standard answer.
Not to mention being able to get the first place on the A list, there is absolutely no problem in being in the top three.
Under such a situation, his position as Jieyuan can be said to be within reach.
There were even people in Tianyi Academy congratulating him in advance.
"If you only know how to recite poems and compose poems, there are hundreds of schools of thought, but you can never be an official. What is the most important thing about being an official?"
Wei Chenghe walked to Xu Hanliang's side and his voice gradually became louder.
He seemed to be communicating with the students next to him, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that he meant something.
"Of course being an official means making decisions. Relatively speaking, other things are just minor matters."
The student next to Wei Chenghe naturally knew what he meant and immediately answered.
"Some people still have wishful thinking and want to get the position of Jieyuan, but this time they will fail."
Laughter came from Wei Chenghe's mouth, feeling extremely proud.
Although Xu Hanliang stabilized, Li Zhongwen on the side rolled up his sleeves and wanted to argue with him, but Xu Hanliang grabbed his arm.
"No matter how much you talk to this kind of person, it's useless."
Xu Hanliang said calmly.
Soon, the list was gradually posted, and everyone came to the list of total results.
The first one posted was the list of candidates from the 80th to the 40th place.
There were a total of 3,200 candidates for this exam, and only 80 candidates were selected.
If calculated based on the admission rate, it is only about 2.5%.
"I'm on the list, hey, I'm on the list."
As soon as the list was posted, Li Zhongwen screamed.
Xu Hanliang took a closer look and found that Li Zhongwen's name was just above the 80th place.
"Congratulations to Brother Zhongwen."
Seeing this, Xu Hanliang naturally raised his hands to celebrate.
"It's true that the spring breeze is so exciting that the horse's hoofs are so bad that I can see all the flowers in Chang'an. I want to go back to Changshu now and tell my father about this."
Li Zhongwen's face was full of joy, and his joy was beyond words.
At this moment, the second list was posted.
On this list, the results are between 40th and 4th.
Xu Hanliang still didn’t see his name on this list.
I couldn't help but calm down in my heart, and murmured to myself in a low voice: "Isn't this going to be a big deal this time, and you really want to remove me?"
At the same time, the gate of the Gongyuan slowly opened, and Song Mingyuan slowly walked out of the Gongyuan.
In his hands, he held the top three lists.
"This provincial examination has ended. All the students who were nominated for the silver list, I hope you will do your best for our Song Dynasty official family, and the students who were not nominated also need to make persistent efforts."
After going out, Song Mingyuan said some polite words first.
At this time, many students had already started talking about it.
The focus of their discussion this time was who the Jieyuan was this time.
Most people have already focused on Wei Chenghe, thinking that only he has the talent to solve the problem.
Xu Hanliang, who topped the two lists, seems to have been completely ignored.
Although they talked a lot, very few people mentioned Xu Hanliang's name.
Wei Chenghe had just read the list and found that Xu Hanliang's name was not on it. Naturally, he felt even more happy.
Under the protection of everyone, he got next to Xu Hanliang again.
"It's such a pity. Brother Ziyou ranks first on the list, but he falls behind Sun Shan. It's really unprecedented."
Wei Chenghe pretended to have a look of regret and spoke again.
After finishing speaking, he continued to speak in an encouraging tone: "But don't worry, Su Laoquan won't be a Jinshi until he is 70 years old. Maybe you are not as good as Su Laoquan, but I believe that you will definitely be able to get the title of Juren at 70."
Just when Wei Chenghe wanted to continue taunting him, Song Mingyuan's voice came from the stage.
"For this rural examination, the title of Duke Yuan is Xu Hanliang."
With the utterance of this name, everything has settled.
After hearing this name, many students in the audience widened their eyes and couldn't believe it.
According to rumors, Xu Hanliang failed in the policy theory department, which is indeed true.
Coupled with the pride that Wei Cheng congratulated just now, many people believe this even more.
But who knew that in the final result, Jie Yuan would still be Xu Hanliang.
In fact, even Xu Hanliang was shocked after this result came out.
His previous plan was to be successful if he could obtain the title of Juren.
According to my own Zhang Ce theory, it is absolutely impossible to gain too much favor from the examiner.
However, after learning the final result, Xu Hanliang grabbed Li Zhongwen's sleeve and squeezed out from the crowd.
When he turned around again, he found a large number of students following behind him.
"Brother Ziyou, I have been friends with you for a long time. Maybe we can have a casual meal together?"
"Mr. Xie Yuangong, I have a sister who is eighteen years old and has a pretty face. Look..."
"My younger sister is twenty-eight years old. She is much more energetic than my eighteen-year-old Laobangcai."
…
Behind him, a group of students held folding fans, vying to get acquainted with the new Jie Yuan.
