readx(); The guy who had more than a dozen hairs ripped out just now after being criticized by everyone was looking at the list, dancing and looking like he was going crazy.
Only then did everyone notice that Fang Zhengyi's name was not on the B list.
"Did Fang Zhengzheng really fail the exam?!"
"She must have failed the exam! After all, this time, there are no less than ten people who came to Xinhe Mansion to take the government examination, and there are no fewer than ten who topped the literary list of this county examination, and there are also talents from Qianlong List who came from all over the country. There are only twelve places in total, no matter how you think about it, it’s impossible for Fang Zhengyi to have his turn!”
"Sigh... People who rely on luck are always unreliable!"
"My money!"
When they thought about the difficulty of the first-class examination and the level of the candidates in Xinhe Mansion this time, everyone almost concluded that Fang Zhengzheng should have failed the examination.
Sure enough, the gathering of talented people from the five mansions in Xinhe Mansion successfully prevented Fang Zhengzheng from becoming an official.
Just as he was thinking about it, the official who released the list also took out the black seal stone and walked to the stone of the first list. He pressed it on the stone, and golden light suddenly flashed, and the names of the twelve Dou Da appeared.
"Hua Kangan!"
"There are also Tang Yulong, Cai Yongfeng, Kang Xingping..."
"Sure enough, the competition in the top rankings this time is too fierce!"
"There is no Fang Zhengzheng on the A list. Do you think he will get the top three again?"
"I heard that he has never even entered a Taoist temple. He was lucky enough to get the top spot on the literary list in the county examination. He was ranked top three in the provincial examination? Hahaha..."
"Zhang Heping didn't make it to the top of the list, he should have made it to the top three! Sure enough, he is at the top of the literary list! Wait, it seems that Yan Xiu doesn't have a name, could it be..."
While everyone was discussing, someone finally noticed that apart from Fang Zhengzheng's name on the A list, there was no Yan Xiu either.
Fang Zhengzheng ranked first in the literary test of the county examination but failed the literary list of the government examination. Although it was a bit surprising, it was not unacceptable. But how could Yan Xiu fail
so…
There is only one possibility.
When they thought this, everyone's eyes turned to Yan Xiu, who was standing in the crowd with an indifferent expression. They were all guessing about this young man from Xiliang.
What position will he get in the literary examination of Xinhe Mansion
"Boom!" A gong sounded, drawing everyone's attention back to the official issuing the results.
"The top three in the Literary Examination will be announced by the chief writer as usual! This time the Xinhe Mansion examination will be written by the Imperial Academy Superintendent, Han Changfeng, Mr. Han himself!"
Following the loud announcement of the official who issued the results, a group of people also walked out of the government office. Among the leaders, there were a few strands of silver threads in his hair and he was wearing a white official uniform. The birds outlined by the silver threads had the feeling of soaring into the sky.
It was none other than the governor of the Royal Academy, Mr. Han Changfeng.
After Han Changfeng, there were also several imperial envoys with the word "imperial" written on their official uniforms. Among them was the imperial envoy Qin who was in charge of writing in Huai'an County last time.
"It's actually Mr. Han who is the main writer!"
"Until now, Mr. Han has only been the main writer for the imperial examinations. I didn't expect that this time he would be the main writer for the imperial examinations!"
"No wonder the literary test questions this time are so difficult..."
"Although the questions are difficult, being able to pass the imperial examination under Mr. Han's writing will be of great help to your future career!"
Everyone was excited when they heard that the main writer this time was Han Changfeng, the governor of the Royal Academy. After all, there was a relationship between master and disciple in the dynasty.
For example, this time the government examination was written by Han Changfeng, then under normal circumstances, the talented people who passed the government examination this time could climb up the high branches of Han Changfeng and become his disciples named Han Changfeng.
This is the common practice in the court, and it is considered as the way to respect the teacher.
…
When Han Changfeng walked to the standing stone and stood still, everyone stopped talking and the scene looked extremely quiet. After all, with Han Changfeng's status and reputation in the Great Xia Dynasty, even the Lord Futai of Xinhe Mansion saw it. , also give up the main position.
"The Xinhe Prefecture Examination brings together talents from the five prefectures in the Northern Desert. It can be called a meeting of talented people. The Royal Academy attaches great importance to it. I have the honor to write the Xinhe Prefecture Examination, and I feel a huge pressure on my shoulders."
Han Changfeng's tone sounded extremely kind, and he did not put on any airs. He even addressed himself as an old man, rather than as a governor, which made the talented people below feel cordial.
Fang Zhengzheng didn't know Han Changfeng, so he glanced at Yan Xiu next to him, trying to capture his impression of Han Changfeng from Yan Xiu's expression.
However, Yan Xiu's face was as calm and indifferent as ever.
"The top three students in this government examination will be reviewed by the invigilator for the first time, then recommended by the Imperial Envoys, and finally approved by me. If any student's opinion is inconsistent, he or she can apply to the Royal Academy for re-examination!"
"Now I will announce the third place in this government examination!"
"Linjiang Mansion, Tianhe Academy, Zhang Hetong!"
After Han Changfeng finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then the official announced Zhang Hetong's various experiences in the top three positions on the list.
"Zhang Hetong is the third one?!"
"I didn't expect that Yan Xiu's talent in the literary examination was actually better than Zhang Hetong!"
"When you come out of sixteen, I'm afraid the Yan family will have another amazing talent this time!"
When everyone heard that the third person was Zhang Hetong, they all started to whisper in surprise. In the crowd, a group of talented scholars who looked like scholars also began to congratulate a young man wearing green clothes.
However, there is not much joy on the face of the young man in green attire...
"The second best, Xiliang Yan clan, Yan Xiu!"
Han Changfeng waited until Zhang Hetong's name was revealed, and without any further pause, he directly announced the name of Second A.
"Yan Xiu is the second-level A?!"
"Then who will top this literary test?"
Everyone's eyes bypassed Fang Zhengyi and focused on Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu, on the other hand, remained as indifferent as before, as if everything was in his calculations, but when he looked at Fang Zhengyi beside him, he felt a little inexplicably complicated.
Fang Zhengzheng was also looking at Yan Xiu. He wanted to say a few words of congratulations, but he knew that Yan Xiu might not be willing to listen.
The reason is simple, because Yan Xiu failed in the literary test.
"Can you treat me to dinner?" Yan Xiu suddenly spoke.
"Is Wangyue Tower okay?" Fang Zhengzheng asked rhetorically.
"Okay." Yan Xiu nodded.
Everyone was listening to the conversation between Yan Xiu and Fang Zhengzheng, and everyone was a little confused. It was clearly Yan Xiu who won the second grade, why did Fang Zhengzheng treat him to dinner
Could it be that Yan Xiu thought that Fang Zhengzheng would take the top spot
How is this possible
If a person who has never been to Yitian Daotang really takes the first place in the literary test of Xinhe Prefecture, how will the scholars in the world feel
Could it be that the entire Daxia Dynasty studied in the academies of Daotang...
Are they all pigs? !
