Han Ling didn't know how he entered the palace gate, nor how he sat in front of the desk.
His seat was in the front row, and someone from the palace brought him paper, pen and graphite, and he didn't dare to look up at Tianyan from beginning to end.
Everyone knew that the emperor was sitting there, which made them both excited and terrified.
Although they are all on the list, no one knows what their final results will be.
On the day of the announcement, Han Ling was waiting at the inn to announce the good news, but I heard that there were people crowded at the announcement place that day.
It's not that the body is abolished, but the mind is abolished.
After three years, this person probably won't go to Beijing to take the exam again.
After answering the questionnaire, Han Ling and the others had to go back and wait for another two days.
Song Shizhao sat under Lin Yuan and looked at the papers of his disciple. He was known as a child prodigy, and he studied in his mansion. He read it through and knew it.
Lin Yuan asked him, "How about the biography of the second class?"
Song Shizhao sighed in his heart, the answer is indeed good, but it can only be said that it is not bad.
That child was too prudent, lost the sharp edge of the youth, and ended up being mediocre.
"Your Majesty Shengming." Song Shizhao saluted.
Lin Yuan: "Pingshen, come and read these three articles."
Song Shizhao sat back again and took the three articles handed by Lin Yuan.
Each has its own style, but they all have one characteristic. They are determined to forge ahead and show their sharp edge. Although their focus is different, they are even a little immature. However, when he thinks about the words carefully, he has a sense of sudden enlightenment.
"Who do you see as the champion?" Lin Yuan asked.
Song Shizhao pointed to one of them: "It is coherent, rational and well-founded, and considers both the front and the back, His Majesty the Wechat Minister He Xi!"
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Sure enough, the ruler and the minister are of the same mind, and I also care for him."
Entering the palace again, Han Ling's mood was no longer the same as that of the previous palace exam.
The students all dressed in official uniforms, with crowns on their heads, and stood outside the Daming Hall.
After waiting for a while, Song Lian led them into the Daming Hall, separated the two sides, and listened to the reading.
Han Ling's hand was already clenched into a fist when he sang "No.
But when he heard his name, he was completely stunned, and his ears buzzed, thinking it was a dream.
Before he could return to his senses, all the students knelt down and shouted long live. Fortunately, his body was not as dazed as his mind. When others knelt, he knelt down too.
The top three are awarded immediately.
Han Ling was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing, and the second-ranked Li Linqing and Tanhua Meng He were awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing.
The second-class Jinshi has to be tested again, but this time it is not Lin Yuan's test, but Song Lian. At that time, according to the results, he will be selected to enter the Hanlin Academy as a Shuji.
As for the top three rank scholars, they can only wait to go back and wait for news to see whether they will stay in Beijing or be sent out.
Then these people will be given royal horses, and they can go around the palace gate.
People will stop and watch.
Han Ling was wearing a golden flower black gauze hat and a red robe on his body.
The parade is naturally not too fast. This is the first champion of the new dynasty. It is of great significance. The people automatically and spontaneously threw flowers, and women threw out the sachets.
Ten years of hard study in the cold window, after careful calculation, what more than ten years
When you can speak, you must endorse, and when you can walk, you must learn to hold a pen.
Seeing the surging crowd, Han Ling wanted to laugh and cry.
Laughter is what you want.
I cried because my parents didn't see this scene.
And Li Linqing behind him is extremely elegant. He was born better than Han Ling. Han Ling is already in his thirties. At his age, he can be called the champion and he is young and promising, but Li Linqing is younger. He was in his early twenties, his face was as white as jade, his stature was thin and tall, his eyebrows were affectionate, and most of the sachets of women on the road were thrown at him.
As for Tanhua Menghe, he was the eldest of the three. He was in his forties. He was neither outstanding nor ugly, but his face with Chinese characters always had an advantage. Just by looking at his face, he felt that this person was upright.
Only the first class can parade the streets. The second class and third class scholars have all returned to the inn and small courtyard they rented. Those who are people in the capital will naturally go home.
The people had a carnival all day, and in the evening, there was a tavern offering wine, named Zhuangyuan Wine.
Some of the students in the middle school are happy and some are sad, but most of the students from the poor family are happy, they celebrate with each other, and some are crying in the street.
Han Ling drank all night and went to the Hanlin Academy to report the next day.
Along with him are the second and third spots.
The three of them chatted happily.
But soon, Li Linqing was taken away, and he was taken away by Zheng Qingfeng.
Both Han Ling and Meng He felt sorry for Li Linqing.
After all, Saisuke came from Hanlin, he left Hanlin, his future...
Li Linqing soon started the days when his feet did not touch the ground.
His parents didn't expect their son to get the second place in the exam. After all, this son was ignorant since he was a child, and suddenly he got the second place in the exam. They always felt that his son must have used some means behind him, maybe it was cheating.
This frightened his parents.
After all, although the Li family is an aristocratic family, the whole family is timid.
Those who want to do bad things are the ones who think about it for a few years. When they think about it, they don't have to do it.
So the Li family has never made a mistake, but it has been going downhill.
Zhao Lin also didn't expect Li Linqing to pass the test. He himself only won the eighty-sixth place in the top two. Although this is enough, when he thinks that Li Linqing has passed the test, he can't figure it out.
It's fine if it's someone else, but Li Linqing is very clear about this person!
In the end, Li Linqing couldn't stand Zhao Lin's obsession with his parents, so he silently came out with his answer sheet for the palace exam. After his father and Zhao Lin read it, they were finally speechless.
Zhao Lin was frightened, and his father was frightened.
But luckily it turned out to be good.
His father was still shivering after reading it: "You, you are so bold! You never thought that if this article angered Your Majesty, then our whole family would be fine!"
Li Linqing didn't care: "Your Majesty is not a narrow-minded person. Brother Zhao told me that His Majesty regards everyone in the world as a useful person. Since this is the case, it is natural to allow people to speak freely."
The title of the palace exam is "official".
He did not write how to become a good official, or what to do after becoming an official.
But how to manage officials.
Prevent officials from protecting each other and combat bad habits in officialdom.
He slammed almost all the dirty tricks tacitly within officialdom.
And he also put forward a suggestion that almost scared his father to death - not to marry officials in the same place.
Listed all kinds of hidden dangers brought by in-laws.
For example, in the marriage of officials from the same place, it is obvious that there are several surnames, but they will eventually become one surname.
One is prosperous and one is damaged, and all kinds of pickling activities are different.
After reading Li Linqing's answer sheet, Zhao Lin said with admiration, "I'm not as good as you."
When he answered, he answered how to be a good official.
Now that I think about it, I just feel mediocre, and it is already very lucky to be able to get the top two and eighty-six.
Li Linqing waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhao, why should you underestimate yourself? It's not too late to see through it now, there is still a shortage of people in the Supreme Court!"
It's really lacking people, it's really lacking people!
He was able to go to the Supreme Court because Lin Yuan greeted him. After reading his test paper, Zheng Qingfeng felt that he was this material, and he asked him privately for his opinion before he went to the Supreme Court.
As for the others, most of them are shunned by the Supreme Court, because as long as anyone with a long brain knows that this is a new department that is the enemy of civil and military officials, let's not say how much power this department has, but only what this department has to do. The thing is, it is the enemy of several others.
The Supreme Court was an isolated island, with no help except for the emperor.
I don't know where I can get promoted, and the future is unclear.
This kind of person Zheng Qingfeng can't look down on.
If you want to enter the Metropolitan Court, your xinxing is the first class, and you must dare to take the risk of the world.
But there are too few people willing to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Even Han Ling felt anxious.
In addition to the scribes in the prefectural court now, there are only Zheng Qingfeng, him and Hongxiu.
What can three people do
However, His Majesty left it alone and let them recruit people on their own, and Li Linqing took a fancy to Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin is a son of an aristocratic family, and he has been in the officialdom since he was a child.
And he is not a fool, although he is not extremely smart, but he is not a fool to read.
And he also followed Zhou Rong to make characters before.
You have all the experience in your background, the only thing that is bad is your xinxing and ability.
Ability needs to be tempered, and xinxing is innate.
Li Linqing asked him, "Brother, do you dare?"
Zhao Lin hesitated, he didn't know, he still wanted to enter Hanlin.
But Li Linqing asked him again, "Brother, is Shang Fangjian in Heren's hands?"
Zhao Lin answered without thinking: "In the hands of the emperor?"
Li Linqing asked him again, "What is Shang Fangjian?"
Zhao Lin replied: "You can punish the traitor, and the imperial power will grant it."
Li Linqing raised his head and said, "The Duchayuan is the Shang Fang sword in the emperor's hands!"
Zhao Lin was dumbfounded.
Li Linqing turned from the previous appearance, and the young man was full of heroic appearance: "Brother, do you want to endure hardships in the Hanlin, or go with your younger brother and turn into a sword in His Majesty's hand, slashing at corrupt officials and officials!"
Zhao Lin bit his lip, thought hard for a long time, and finally said, "If that's the case, I'll answer your request."
Li Linqing held Zhao Lin's hand: "A promise of a gentleman."
Zhao Lin looked into Li Linqing's eyes: "I won't change this life!"
Father Li slumped on the ground and muttered, "Crazy, crazy!"
How did he give birth to such a fearless son? !
Father Li hurriedly told his old wife: "In the future, we will live behind closed doors, and don't let people talk about it. I can't control that renegade son. Don't be implicated by him."
The old wife is also very worried: "Qing'er is still young, she is afraid of being deceived..."
Father Li's eyes widened: "Coaxing? I think he's so crazy that he even forgot his name!"
Li Linqing's voice suddenly came from outside: "Dad, I remember, my surname is Li, my name is Lin Qing, and the name is Lezhi."
Father Li: "Go away!"
After a while, Li Linqing's voice came from outside again, but this time it was much smaller: "Father, my son is far away."
