Shining on the world, bringing the light and heat needed by life, without being dazzling and hot, there is really no difference between sunset glow and morning glow. The latter appears later, but is just as brilliant. Chen Changsheng only started to practice after he came to the capital from Xining Town. He saw the sunset and hadn't set foot on the mountain trail, but finally surpassed many previous walkers, even people like Gou Hanshi, and climbed to the top of the mountain first.
"Is he the number one in this year's imperial examination?"
"It's really the one named Chen Changsheng?"
"Is there something wrong?"
People outside Li Palace looked at the teenagers from the Orthodox Academy who were walking slowly in the afterglow of the Shinto. They talked a lot, their faces were full of disbelief, and even more people were so shocked that they couldn't speak at all.
After the Ivy Banquet, Chen Changsheng became a celebrity in Kyoto because of his marriage contract with Xu Yourong. At that time, he was the object of hostility and ridicule by the people of Kyoto. There was even a proverb specially created for him—the toad wants to eat phoenix meat.
On the day when the Qing Yun Ranking was changed, the Bishop issued an announcement for Chen Changsheng that he would take the first place in the Dachao Examination. No one took it seriously. Instead, there was more ridicule and shame. No one believed that he could really do this. One point, just waiting to see Chen Changsheng's expression when he got nothing after the Great Court Examination.
This year's imperial examination was very lively, but what the public cared most about was how to vent their ridicule to the whimsical and delusional Chen Changsheng after the end. However, who would have thought that the wishful thinking would become a reality, and after the whimsy, the naivety would open up, and the boy from the Orthodox Academy who couldn't practice cultivation a few months ago would actually win the first place in the imperial examination!
That's right, the first place in this year's imperial examination is not Gou Hanshi, not any one of the Seven Laws of the Kingdom of God, not Tianhai Shengxue, Zhexiu, Zhuang Huanyu, or the young scholar of Huaiyuan.
Instead, Chen Changsheng.
No one wants to believe this result, but it is the truth. Many people, especially those who kept laughing at Chen Changsheng before the imperial examination, felt that their faces were hot and even painful.
Even if it was a fact, people still couldn't accept it and couldn't figure it out. The silence inside and outside the Li Palace was broken by discussions, and the specific process of the Great Court Trial Battle quickly spread.
The next moment, the two sides of the Shinto and the inside and outside of the Li Palace became even more silent, and then exploded with a bang.
Chen Changsheng actually communicated with the ghost during the battle of the Great Court Trial? And still in the decisive battle with Gou Hanshi? How can this be! With Chen Changsheng's level of performance before, he was able to get the first place in the Grand Examination today, which already has too many legends. He actually passed the secret in the Grand Examination, which made this color to the extreme!
Fifteen years old? Want to know what that means
The importance of this matter is almost as important as the first place in the Great Court Examination itself!
The setting sun slanted on the Shinto, casting a long shadow on Chen Changsheng.
On both sides of the Shinto, there are several academies directly under the Li Palace. Outside the stone pillars in front, there are tens of millions of people. Under the shade of trees, there are also many important figures hidden.
No matter who it is, looking at the young man on the Shinto, it is difficult to hide the shocked expression on his face.
Su Moyu was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by the students in the attached courtyard of the Li Palace, in the forest beside the road.
He looked at Chen Changsheng, thinking about what he said here a few days ago, and his emotions were a little complicated.
Chen Changsheng looked at him and nodded in greeting. When everyone was watching, it was inconvenient to talk, so he asked how his injury was with his eyes. Su Moyu said that there was no big problem, and then saluted seriously.
Chen Changsheng stopped in his tracks and returned the salute calmly.
Many candidates who had finished the imperial examination hadn't left yet, and they were also looking at Chen Changsheng. But not everyone has Su Moyu's demeanor, their faces are a bit ugly.
Zhuang Huanyu sat in the carriage of Tiandaoyuan, raised the corner of the curtain, and looked at the figure of the young man who was slowly walking towards the outside of the palace under the gaze of countless eyes, his pale face showed unwillingness.
The four Huaiyuan scholars, headed by Zhong Hui, stood at the stele hall in the northwest corner of the Li Palace, looking at Chen Changsheng in the distance, with angry and bewildered emotions on their faces.
Yes, no matter how angry and unwilling they looked at Chen Changsheng, they could only be at a loss in the end, because from today on, these once brilliant names on the Qing Yun list will all become bleak in front of Chen Changsheng, and They even lost the qualification to compare with Chen Changsheng.
Their names were all engraved on the top of the Qing Yun List, and they will probably continue to stay there in the future. However, Chen Changsheng's name has never appeared on the Qing Yun List, and will never appear again.
Luoluo went from ninth to second in the Qingyun ranking, and Xu Yourong won the first place when he entered the Qingyun ranking. The same is true for Qiu Shanjun, who directly changed the Qingyun ranking three times temporarily, shocking the entire continent.
What Chen Changsheng did was even more unbelievable.
He has never entered the Qingyun Ranking, and he does not need to enter the Qingyun Ranking again this year, because he has already passed the seclusion, even if he wants to enter the ranking, he can only enter the Gold List, just like Qiu Shanjun and Gou Hanshi today.
In other words, his practice directly skipped the stage of Qing Yunbang.
Ordinary people who never know how to practice, start to practice, have never been on the Qingyun list, and once they appear in front of the world, they are directly on the gold list. Has there ever been such a person in the world
People inside and outside the Li palace thought in shock and kept discussing.
Someone vaguely remembered that Wang Zhice seemed to have done similar things many years ago.
…
…
The three of Chen Changsheng walked out of the palace, and the crowd rushed over like a tide.
A powerful breath came out of nowhere, blocking those people out.
Jin Yulu held the reins and looked expressionlessly at the crowd who kept shouting Chen Changsheng's name. His attitude was very clear, anyone who dared to come closer would be killed.
The Li Palace under the sunset became extremely noisy because of Chen Changsheng. The prestige of Jin Yulu could deter those people from approaching, but it could not block those sights and sounds.
Thousands of pairs of shocked, curious, and probing gazes gathered in one place, and they were even more blazing than the sun. Chen Changsheng even felt his clothes were burning, and his cheeks were tingling.
"Chen is the number one! Chen is the number one!"
"Chen Bangshou, please rest in my teahouse for a while."
"Chen Bangshou, it's a great time, when you have to drink, my master has Huangzhou drunk!"
"Master Tang, you haven't seen my daughter for a long time. On this good night, how can you waste it..."
Countless voices resounded in the crowd, piercing into the ears of Chen Changsheng and the three of them. As the scene became more and more lively, some people even wanted to move closer, regardless of Jin Yulu's cold eyes. Some girls kept reaching out to touch Tang Sanshiliu's body, all in chaos.
Chen Changsheng won the first place in the first ranking of the Great Court Examination, of course it is not something that is pleasant to hear, let alone how many people in Kyoto lost money because of him, but those emotions have long been replaced by the shock of seeing a miracle happen, and with The demon clan has been fighting for thousands of years, and the human world has always only recognized the strong and sought after geniuses. How could the people who came to see the Great Court Exam miss such an opportunity.
Fortunately, at this time the priests from the Li Palace, especially the officials of the Cleansing Department who were in charge of maintaining order, rushed over. Under the prestige of Master Zhou Tong, the crowd finally became quieter.
Chen Changsheng walked to the carriage, and together with Tang Sanshiliu and Xuanyuan Po, saluted Jin Yulu seriously.
Jin Yulu stroked his beard lightly, smiled and said nothing, very satisfied.
The reins swayed lightly, the wheels moved slowly, and the crowd around them divided their own paths. Just like when they rushed over before, they were all tides, and they all represented a certain attitude.
Of course, the eager shouts in the crowd never stopped.
Chen Changsheng was at the back of the carriage, lifted the curtain of the rear window, looked back at the way he had come, and saw the Qingxian Hall at the end of the Shinto and above the long steps seemed to be burning in the last twilight, and there was a faint figure on the railing upstairs, he guessed It should be Luoluo, he laughed, and then he saw the bishop standing there under an old tree beside the Shinto, slightly stooped, old-fashioned, no one approached, very lonely, so the corners of his lips raised just now Let go, and the smile gradually disappeared.
The wheels were crushing the bluestone slabs, and the surrounding sounds remained undiminished. The people of Kyoto seemed to be planning to send the carriage back to the Orthodox Academy, so the people in the carriage naturally did not dare to open the curtains.
"Then...what's the matter with whose family's daughter?" Chen Changsheng looked at Tang Thirty-Six and asked.
Tang Thirty-Six was a little annoyed, and shouted: "Who knows what's going on!"
Seeing him like this, Chen Changsheng naturally didn't ask any more questions. Thinking about the previous situation outside the Li Palace, he sighed, "I just realized today why Zhou Dufu's younger brother was watched and killed... so many people stared at him, together One place seems to be more terrifying than Gou Hanshi's Golden Crow Secret Sword."
Tang Thirty-Six sneered and said: "You are lucky. In the past few years, you might have been kidnapped by the nobles in the capital just after leaving the palace. We can also take advantage of it."
Chen Changsheng was puzzled, and asked, "Why?"
Tang Thirty-Six said: "The first place in the imperial examination is of course the candidate for a good son-in-law. How could those nobles miss this opportunity? How could those young girls let you go?"
Only then did Chen Changsheng understand what was going on, and thinking of those slender hands full of love and possessiveness that quietly stretched out to Tang Thirty-Six when the crowd was surging, he said with a smile: "If I want to rob, I should rob you."
Tang Thirty-Six said angrily, "I don't like chatting with you."
Chen Changsheng asked: "You also said it was a few years ago, why is it different this year?"
Tang Thirty-Six stared into his eyes, and said angrily, "Are you really not understanding or are you pretending not to? You have a marriage contract with Xu Yourong now, who would dare to snatch her from her?"
…
…
Xu Shiji returned to the East Imperial General's Mansion from the Li Palace, the expression on his face remained unchanged, as if he had been frozen by the cold wind in early spring, making it hard to see his true mood.
Surrounded by the warm wind in the flower hall for a moment, his mood was just like his body, a little looser. But thinking of what the ministers and bishops said in the side hall of the palace earlier, his face became even colder.
The Great Court Examination has already listed the list, but the official list will be released the day after tomorrow, so the court officials and state religion dignitaries do not need to show up, they just wait in the side hall for tea chatting, after the battle, he also went to sit for a while, but Unexpectedly, there were no less than ten congratulations.
Congratulations, congratulations... Congratulations on what? Naturally, congratulations to Chen Changsheng for winning the first place in the imperial examination. Why is there no reason to be unhappy that the East Royal God General's Mansion has won such a good son-in-law?
Of course Xu Shiji didn't like it, and those congratulations were naturally mocking, so how could he look good
He sat in the chair, closed his eyes, and did not speak for a long time.
It was night, and the candles in the hall were flickering. Suddenly, a light rain fell in the yard. The light rain in early spring is often colder than the winter snow, but his expression became gentle.
Because of this rain, he remembered the few rains in Xichen Building, looked at his wife and said: "On the day when the ranking is announced, prepare a table, it doesn't need to be too rich, just a homely meal."
Mrs. Xu vaguely guessed what he meant, she was slightly startled and speechless.
A family feast is naturally a family feast.
