The noisy carriages and horses are about to reach the sky, and the list of people exploring the east hall has been hung.
Early in the morning on the day when the results were released, a large number of scholars gathered at the gate of Gongyuan.
Inside the house, the seals were being opened from the sixth place to the bottom.
Every time a roll is opened, it will be sent to the house official first.
The house official took the name on the scroll and wrote two long strips in blue pen, and sent it to the official who was the first to save trouble. The official who saved trouble handed it over to the official who wrote the list.
Every time I write a name, I have to change the red candles in the room, and the onlookers waiting to see the list outside the room are even more excited.
Sometimes there is a loud noise, like a boiling cauldron, like a fire, like a rebel army entering the city, or like a crow returning to the forest at night.
It can be seen from this that the ceremony of releasing the list is so grand, and it also makes the process quite suspenseful.
After all, students study hard for ten years in a cold window, all for the joy and pride of being the top scorer in high school.
Moreover, with the example of Du Hanfei, students all believe that as long as they are named on the "Golden List", they can become an official in one step and reach the pinnacle of life.
Today's Prime Minister Du was the number one scholar in high school during the reign of Emperor Xiao Zu.
Although he was already engaged at the time, Emperor Xiao Zu was very fond of this young talent and must betrothed his beloved daughter Princess Yirou to him.
After some decision-making, Du Hanfei finally married Princess Yirou.
From then on, he rose through the ranks and became the powerful Prime Minister Du.
When Bingwen hurried over, the list of Jinshi gold medals had already been released.
In front of the gate of Gongyuan, some people are happy and some are worried. A narrow list carries too much bitterness of ten years of hard work.
Bingwen couldn't find any of the four of them in the crowd of people who were running around to tell each other.
So, he sharpened his head and crawled into the crowd to look at the list.
Looking carefully, from beginning to end, I found that none of the four children was in high school.
He retreated from it in a daze, and after looking around for a while, he found that the four people named Luo Sunshan were gathering at the corner and looking up to the sky and sighing.
Bingwen had a headache. He really never expected this situation.
None of the people that Xia Chu liked were chosen.
I'm afraid Xia Chu himself didn't expect it.
Bingwen held his forehead, thought about the wording, and then walked over.
"I missed the top spot on the gold list. Don't be too sad if you fail this time." Bingwen patted Xie Jiming on the shoulder and consoled him.
Jie Jiming opened his hand and shouted at him: "Seventh Highness is different from Prime Minister Du. He will definitely not disappoint the students. He is not a bird of prey, but the shining silver can defeat the students from a poor family. lifetime."
Bingwen's opened hand was frozen there. It was not right to put it down for a moment, nor was it right to put it up again.
The other three people also looked downcast. They did not criticize Bingwen more, but they did not speak.
In the end, Shi Zhongfei couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Brother Bingwen can't be blamed for this. You are spreading your resentment on him. It is unreasonable and innocent."
Bingwen smiled awkwardly and patted Shi Zhongfei's shoulder. The arm that had been hanging awkwardly just now finally had a place to go.
The remaining three people cursed loudly, saying that the world was unfair and powerful officials were in power.
Just when they were gushing, eloquent, indignant, and their words were unbearable to listen to.
The gongs and drums at the gate of Gongyuan were noisy.
The scattered people gathered together again.
I saw Min Zhisong, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, come to the courtyard in person and actually claimed that His Highness Seventh Prince would be in charge of selecting the top three this time. Taifu Wu consulted and decided directly. At this time, the top three would be called.
"Boom", people's voices exploded.
Since ancient times, after the names on the gold list, the top three people have been selected to enter the palace examination, and the emperor personally determines the top three.
How can one directly name the top three on the day the rankings are released
"Quiet!" Following the majestic shout, all the students fell silent.
Those students who had just failed the exam pricked up their ears energetically. Who knew whether the pie would be smashed on their foreheads.
"Tanhualang roll call, Yin Guangbo."
Accompanied by a burst of intense beating, Yin Guangbo's name was drowned in the human voice.
"Who is Yin Guangbo?"
"Do you know Yin Guangbo?"
"Is it the Yin Guangbo who always lives in Mingxiang Garden?"
Bingwen faintly seemed to hear Yin Guangbo's name in the distance, but it was quickly drowned out by the noisy voices.
Therefore, he was not sure whether he heard it correctly.
Yin Guangbo saw him staring at him with doubts, his face dropped, and he asked dejectedly: "Why are you looking at me?"
"Hmm, I seem to have heard your name." Bingwen said in an uncertain voice without daring to speak out.
"Tanhualang roll call, Yin Guangbo."
There was another long roll call and another intense beating of gongs and drums.
This time, even Yin Guangbo seemed to hear his name.
He looked at Bingwen in surprise, his pupils dilated instantly.
The two looked at each other, then ran hand in hand to the gate of Gongyuan.
"Tanhualang roll call, Yin Guangbo."
When the third roll call sounded, Bingwen shouted to the crowd: "Quickly give way, Tan Hwa Lang is here."
The students quickly gave way. After today, Tanhua Lang will be promoted to a higher rank and become an 'official class'.
Yin Guangbo still stood there excitedly, holding Bingwen's hand tightly in disbelief.
Bingwen quickly pushed him, and Yin Guangbo realized and entered.
Yin Guangbo saluted Min Zhisong and said, "I'm Yin Guangbo."
"Yin Tanhua doesn't need to be polite. From now on, we will be officials together and we will both be working for the emperor."
"Yes, yes." Yin Guangbo had tears in his eyes and was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"Go to the back room to get the golden flower post." Min Zhisong said with a smile.
Yin Guangbo said yes, bowed and then followed the attendant into the back room.
Bingwen outside was surrounded by people, asking about Yin Guangbo's situation.
"Roll call for second place, Kong Changhui."
Following another long roll call, there was a burst of intense beating.
Everyone's attention shifted to who is Kong Changhui
Bingwen struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, waved to Kong Changhui in the distance and shouted: "Changhui, you got second place, come on!"
The three people in the distance were all stunned when they heard Bingwen's shouting. Only with the second roll call of second place did the three people react.
Xie Jiming and Shi Zhongfei pulled Kong Changhui and ran towards the gate of Gongyuan respectively.
"Roll call for second place, Kong Changhui."
After the third roll call, there was intense beating.
This time Bingwen, Xie Jiming and Shi Zhongfei shouted to everyone: "Get out of the way, the second place is coming."
There were whispers from the side: "Why do I know this guy who was ranked second in the rankings?"
Kong Changhui was more promising than Yin Guangbo. Although he glanced at the three of them excitedly, he knew enough to walk in and not stay there.
Kong Changhui saluted Min Zhisong and said, "I'm here, Kong Changhui."
"There is no need to be polite to Kong Changhui. From now on, we will be officials together and we will be working for the emperor." After Min Zhisong exchanged greetings as usual, he asked Kong Changhui to go into the back room to get the golden flower post.
"The number one scholar is called." With the final roll call, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
The gate of the Gongyuan, which was noisy just now, was now silent. Everyone's eyes widened and their ears pricked, wondering who the top pick in high school could be
"Xie Jiming!"
As the final name was revealed, before the students could react, Bingwen hugged Xie Jiming directly and said, "Xie Jiming, you are the number one scholar! You are in high school!! You are still the number one scholar!!!"
Everyone looked at Bingwen with even more surprised expressions.
Oh my god, this co-author knows everyone from Sanjia, who is this...
Xie Jiming wriggled his mouth, dumbfounded on the spot, even more stupid than Yin Guangbo's reaction at that time...
