No one discussed anymore, and no one would waste even a second of the sergeants' time at this time, because everyone knew that the time for the announcement of the results had finally arrived. △↗，
Nervous and anxious eyes were focused on the sergeant and the Royal Academy. At this moment, the air seemed to be a little solid, and an invisible pressure slowly rose.
Some candidates even turned blue because they were so nervous.
Although Fang Zhengzheng didn't care too much about the success or failure of the imperial examination, it was impossible to say that he didn't care at all, so he began to look forward to it.
At this time, Yan Xiu seemed to have given up on his thoughts and began to look at the Royal Academy.
Soon, a group of officials wearing black official uniforms finally appeared in everyone's sight. Each of them had an imperial character on the chest of their official uniforms, which represented their identity.
The leader, Fang Zhengzheng, knew Qin Yumin, the chief writer of the county examination in Huai'an County.
After Qin Yumin walked out of the gate of Royal Academy, she glanced at the people present and seemed to be slightly surprised. Obviously, this time there were more exams and rankings than in previous years.
However, there is no doubt about it when you think about it.
When the results of the previous literary examinations were released, the candidates and courtiers naturally paid more attention, but the people of Yanjing City would wait until the martial arts examinations were over before looking at the results.
However, this time is different.
because…
A huge surprise happened in this literary test, so all the people who could spare time and the passing vendors crowded over.
Everyone wants to see what the result of this literary test will be.
Qin Yumin didn't stand at the door for too long. She walked directly through the crowd and came to the two huge stones at the entrance of Royal Academy.
These two ranking stones are somewhat different from the ranking stones in Xinhe Mansion.
The entire stone tablet looks like a huge stone tablet, as black as ink. Both in height and width, it is at least twice as large as the stone tablet in Xinhe Mansion.
"A total of 2,357 people participated in this imperial examination. According to the previous practice. The literary test is also divided into two rankings: A and B. The top 20 in the literary test are taken from the A list, and the 21 to 21 from the B list are taken. Only two hundred people."
When Qin Yumin said this, he also looked down at the anxiously waiting candidates and people.
And after the candidates heard the number of people taking the exam. They were all extremely shocked. The candidates for each session would be announced. However, the number of candidates for this session was 500 higher than the previous one.
In this way, the chance of admission becomes even more precious.
However. This is just the literary test. If we add the elimination during the martial arts test, in the end, there will be no more than fifty people who can actually pass the imperial test.
In two years, less than fifty candidates have passed the imperial examination in the entire Daxia Dynasty. Compared with more than two thousand candidates, the chance is extremely slim.
However, once passed, it is equivalent to being able to truly jump over the dragon gate and enter the court.
Qin Yumin didn't say any more useless words at this time. Because, he knows that at this time, what everyone cares about most is always the name on the list.
Therefore, he quickly took out an exquisite square box made of pure metal from his arms.
The square box is black, and you can't tell what material it is made of. It has different words engraved on all sides, as well as some ancient patterns.
"Click!"
The seal on the square box was opened by Qin Yumin himself.
Then, a square piece of jet black jade appeared.
All the candidates became nervous instantly, because after pressing this piece of jet black jade, it will also determine their future...
"Buzz!"
The black jade stone was pressed into the groove of the stone by Qin Yumin's hands. Then, an extremely dazzling light flashed on the huge stone.
One name after another slowly appeared on the list.
The atmosphere in the entire scene was frozen to the extreme at this moment. Everyone's eyes widened, struggling to look at the names that had not yet been fully revealed on the list.
They were all too anxious. Some people are so anxious that they even forget to take care of their own wallets.
Among the dark crowd at the entrance of Royal Academy, some figures began to slowly walk through it. There is no shortage of such people in any world.
It is also destined that today is a day with endless surprises.
"Out!"
"I seem to have seen my name, why is it missing? Why is my name missing?!"
"Ah, that's my name. It's just... why is the address at the back not right?!"
With more than 2,000 people participating in the imperial examination, there will naturally be duplicate names. Therefore, behind each name is also shown the address where it comes from, as well as the additional examination number.
for querying in situations of uncertainty.
As a result, many mistakes may occur...
It was a pleasant surprise, but after the surprise, it turned into deep disappointment, so the people at the scene who were so stimulated began to cry.
"Ah... why? Why are there different blessings with the same name!"
"Obviously I was the one who won, how could I not? There must have been a mistake, a mistake..."
Cries began to sound among the crowd.
Beyond that, there is true joy.
"I hit it! This time I really hit it!"
"I'm on the list... I'm on the list!"
"Hahaha, I have worked hard for ten years, studied hard for ten years, and now I finally passed the literary test!"
There are naturally such voices, but compared with those voices that failed to make the list, there are obviously a lot less.
However, it is more eye-catching.
Whenever a person shouts, I got it, I got it.
It can attract the attention of the surrounding people, all with expressions of envy and jealousy.
Some candidates from the same prefecture and city, while disappointed, also began to celebrate and congratulate some candidates who made the list.
And just when everyone was celebrating and saddening each other, a few inappropriate voices suddenly sounded.
"There is no Fang Zhengzheng!"
"Fang Zhengzheng's name is not on the list!"
"Did you really fail the exam?"
"It's natural to be greedy for too much and not to be specialized. I thought he would get at least a second place in the rankings, but he failed. He really deserves it!"
"As a human being, it's better to be down-to-earth! Why force things that you can't do?"
When these voices rang out, some more voices joined in the crowd. When everyone spoke, they subconsciously looked at Fang Zhengzheng.
But Fang Zhengzheng always had a leisurely expression on his face.
B list
Fang Zhengzheng had never paid much attention to this list. At least, he didn't think that his or Yan Xiu's name would appear on this list.
Yan Xiu also didn't pay attention to the name on the list, even though he was only sixteen years old.
But he is a descendant of the Yan family in Xiliang. This status is not a capital for him to show off, but it is a huge motivation for him to spur himself.
No descendant of the Yan family would write their name on the B list.
Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, there has been no such history.
Therefore, Yan Xiu would not do this either. In his heart, if he really made it to the B list, it would not be much different from failing.
Yan Xiu's expression was a little cold, he was waiting.
Fang Zhengzheng is also waiting.
However, this does not mean that the public will feel that Fang Zhengzheng needs to wait any longer, because one step further will be the top spot in this imperial examination.
There will only be twenty names on it.
And among these twenty names, no one would ever think of Fang Zhengyi.
Whether it was at the beginning of the imperial examination or after the imperial examination, no one had such an idea. The reason was very simple. Fang Zhengzheng had just stepped into the Amaterasu realm.
This doesn't seem to be an absolute reason.
However, this represents that Fang Zhengzheng's strength is far behind the candidates taking the imperial examination.
Among the top 20 people in the entire Daxia Dynasty, who is not an elite on the Shenglong List? There are even some who are strong enough to be in the top 20 or 30 on the Shenglong List, but cannot enter the list because of their age. .
Those people are the biggest competitive force in this imperial examination.
Forty-year-old Amaterasu!
After at least ten years of enlightenment in the Amaterasu realm, both in terms of foundation and understanding of the way of all things, I have definitely reached the deepest level.
There is a huge difference between such a person and a fifteen-year-old Amaterasu.
It cannot be said to be heaven and earth.
But at least, there is a gap between the two worlds. (To be continued.)
