No one would dare to question it at this time.

More than 100,000 candidates participated in the imperial examination this time, but only 300 were finally on the list. How cruel is it? Countless people can only bury their sadness and bitterness in their hearts. Some people will be depressed because of this, but some people will keep working hard.

There are all kinds of living beings in the boiling square, but the people on the list have become sweet grasshoppers. Those who are recognized immediately become the objects of competition, and they can be taken back to marry their own ladies and enter the bridal chamber.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the fourth-grade bachelor who presided over the announcement of the list burned a stick of incense before standing on the high platform in front of the list again. In front of everyone, he said loudly: "Congratulations to all the new scholars. I understand your mood at this time. I am happy.

Besides, I have to say that this only represents the end of your study career, and your life is just beginning. In the future, you will become officials in the court. I hope you will show your knowledge and dedicate yourself to serving the court and benefiting the people. Those who have failed will also

Don’t be discouraged, just keep working hard.”

At this point, he paused and continued: "The new division has come to an end, and all the new scholars are happy. Those who are ranked second and third, don't forget to move to Deyue Building in the evening to attend the Luming Banquet. Haha, don't be greedy when you go.

You have to go to court to see His Majesty tomorrow morning, and your whereabouts will be arranged at that time. Then, all you top-ranked scholars, get ready to go to court to see Your Majesty. Your Majesty can't wait to meet all these great talents."

After saying that, he slightly cupped his hands and turned around to leave. The mission was completed.

This is the difference between the Jinshis on the A list and the Jinshis on the B and C lists. The Jinshis on the A list have to enter the palace today to meet the saints. In fact, it is a palace examination, which is a process. When the time comes, His Majesty will handpick the number one and the second best. That is

It is the highlight of this imperial examination to announce to the whole country that it will be recorded in history. It is also the best achievement at this stage as a scholar. However, there is no need to explain it clearly at this time. You still have to take into account the mood of the second and third ranking candidates.

.

As for the Jinshi in the second and third rankings, going to the Luming Banquet can be regarded as a celebration by the imperial court for the end of their study career. They will only go to the Hajj tomorrow to see where the emperor has arranged their place. In fact, in the following time, for them

Especially crucial, whether the performance at the Luming Banquet can catch the eyes of some people may be related to the starting point and direction of the subsequent official career. Whether they can seize the opportunity depends on themselves.

If you perform well, you can directly stay in the capital to study as an official. If there is a vacancy in the future, you will be directly transferred to Qingyun. If you do not perform well, I am afraid that you will have to be sent to Qingshui Yamen or even a remote area to start as a county magistrate. Will you be able to get closer in your life?

Hard to say.

There were people 'robbing people' everywhere in the square, but fortunately Tubo and the others were protecting them, so no one could get close to Yunjing and the others.

Song Yan urged: "Young master, please go to the palace to meet the saint. I am at home, and the people who will protect Dao Xi have been arranged for you... Well, actually, there is no need to be so anxious."

He was also so happy that he couldn't find the north. It was normal for a new scholar to go to the palace examination. Normally, there was no reason to make His Majesty wait. But he quickly realized that his young master was in the mythical realm. Usually the emperor wanted to meet him.

You have to make a reservation in advance...

Yunjing didn't take it seriously, nodded and said: "Well, you guys go back first, I'll go into the palace and go back after I'm done."

After a brief explanation, Yunjing headed towards the palace. As a Dali native, he had been to the Sanluo Palace many times, but this was the first time he had set foot in the Dali Palace.

The rankings were announced in one day, the top three in the imperial examination were announced to the world, and there was also a deer-minging banquet for the second and third rankings. The next day, the destination of the new scholar was determined, and there was probably a horse parade. There were too many things to do in a tight time, and logically speaking, it shouldn't be

So eager, in fact, for countless students, the imperial examination is a major event in life, but for the country, it is actually nothing. After all, the imperial examination happens every few years, and the senior officials have long been used to it and look down upon it.

There is a resting and waiting area outside the palace. When Yunjing came, there were already some first-class Jinshis waiting here. It was said that Emperor Dali was waiting for these first-class Jinshis. In fact, he had to wait for everyone to arrive and listen to the instructions before he could go forward.

Went for an audience.

Yunjing, the first-ranked Jinshi who came first, was unfamiliar to everyone. Everyone's face was filled with smiles and they congratulated each other. They were all full of joy.

Although he was not familiar with them, Yunjing still recognized a few people, including Chen Yihao and Xiang Wenxin, who were among the four most talented people in the recent period. With the titles of the four most talented people, Yun Jing could pass the first-class Jinshi.

Jing didn't find it strange at all. Although the Four Great Talents were just nicknames, it also reflected their intellectual prowess.

Yunjing was not familiar with them, but everyone knew Yunjing. Facing Yunjing, these new academicians seemed a little reserved. Even though they were all new academicians, Yunjing was different from them.

Fortunately, Yunjing was easy to get along with, and a group of new scholars gradually relaxed a little. Although it was a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with a being like Yunjing, they were still restrained and did not try their best to get close at this time. If they could please them, they would naturally dream of it.

, but if it arouses Yunjing's resentment, I'm afraid that even the Jinshi title will be lost.

Moreover, their integrity as scholars at present has not been polluted by entering officialdom. They still want to save face to some extent and cannot deliberately flatter and please.

To be honest, these new scholars have reached this stage and already have the qualifications to be proud princes in white clothes. However, facing the mythical realm, who can be proud? There are always new scholars, and there may not be one in the mythical realm for a hundred years.

Being listed in the imperial examination in the same year as Yunjing is enough for them to brag for a lifetime. This honor even exceeds the title of Jinshi itself!

Those who can pass the Jinshi exam are not fools. They know very well that being in the same year as Yunjing this time is a huge asset. Where they go next, the starting point will definitely be higher than in the past.

In fact, this is similar to the "Conglong Gong". Being able to be of the same age as Yunjing is equivalent to putting a halo around them. On the surface, people are restrained, but in their hearts, they don't know how happy they are.

If I had known that there would be such an opportunity, I would regret it so much that I would be green with regrets. If I am the same year as Yunjing in a few years, I am afraid that I will have already risen to the top, right?

When meeting the emperor for the palace examination, no Jinshi dared to neglect, and they quickly arranged their rounds. In less than half an hour, one hundred first-ranking Jinshi arrived.

"His Majesty's oral instructions are sent to invite the newly-ranked Jinshi to come to the Hajj."

After everyone arrived, a eunuch came to deliver the message.

Just this sentence is worthy of scrutiny. It is just a new scholar. How can it be worthy of a word of invitation from His Majesty? It is enough to announce that they are going to have an audience. The reason why it is an invitation, needless to say, is of course because Yunjing is among them.
