"oops!"

When it was revealed that he was worshiping the wrong mountain, the scholar immediately became angry and said, "Where are you a scholar? Why are you worshiping in the wrong direction? This is called having Saint Confucius in your heart and Saint Confucius everywhere!"

"Tch, why are you pretending to be cool?" Someone sneered.

"Hehe, aren't these some of His Royal Highness King Qian's favorite students? Why are you here so late? Are you afraid?" Wei Jie, who was waiting in the crowd, suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Yi and the others who had rushed over.

The main reason is that Chen Yi and his twelve people gathered together. With so many people, it was quite eye-catching.

Wei Jie's words made others focus on Chen Yi and the others.

"Are these the twelve students of King Qian?"

"Tsk tsk, Qianzhou is poor and white. They couldn't even afford food before, so how can they afford to study?"

"Hey, I heard that they made a bet with Wei Jie of Jingzhao Wei's. This is a good show."

The literary circle has always been unable to keep secrets. The bet between Wei Jie and Chen Yi that day was not a secret. There were other scholars nearby.

Wei Jie didn't want to spread this matter around, but that doesn't mean that other scholars would do the same. On the contrary, after breaking up with Wei Jie, they told their friends about it.

Then those friends passed it on to each other, one after another, and soon it spread throughout the literati circle in Chang'an.

"Tsk tsk, I don't know where these people have the courage to make such a bet with Wei Jie." Someone laughed.

"What do you know? This means that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. It seems like the bet is to run around Chang'an shirtless, right?"

"Now they are impulsive. The most miserable person is His Highness the King of Qian. He stayed in Qianzhou well, but inexplicably suffered such a huge humiliation."

Although the voices of these candidates were very low, the voices of hundreds of candidates gathered together were still very loud.

Chen Yi and the others naturally heard these discussions, but they ignored them.

Hengmei coldly pointed at Qianfu, always caring about what others said, it would only make him irritable.

The other candidates seemed to deliberately want to make a joke about Chen Yi and the others, so they all took the initiative to make way for them to walk to the front row.

Wei Jie and several candidates also walked in front of them, looked at them and said with a smile: "The rankings will be released soon, you just wait to run around Chang'an!"

Chen Yi glanced at him lightly and said, "It's not certain who will win. Don't regret it later!"

"Regret? Haha! Don't know how to live or die!"

Wei Jie's eyes darkened. Originally, he wanted to listen to his elder brother Wei Siqian's words and just give Chen Yi and the others a little embarrassment. But now that he heard Chen Yi's harsh words, he decided to let them finish the lap no matter what he said later. Grind their temper and let them know that this is Chang'an, not that small place in Qianzhou.

"The list will be released soon, just wait!"

Wei Jie glanced at them coldly, and then continued to look at the palace gate.

Just when everyone was getting more and more nervous, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the palace gate.

Everyone closed their mouths and breathed much faster.

"The official who released the list is here!"

Suddenly, someone yelled loudly, everyone was startled, and then stared intently at the gate of the palace.

Sure enough, more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs hurriedly walked out of the palace gate, and the first one was none other than the examiner Wai Lang Wang Shidan.

These dozen people were not of high rank, and they were even of average height. However, when they walked out slowly, they felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

Even Wei Jie and other candidates who have absolute confidence in themselves can't help but show nervousness now.

At this moment, Wang Shidan cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "Into the Shike Gold List!"

As Wang Shidan finished speaking, the two officials held a piece of golden paper on the left and right, and posted it on the palace wall.

There are a total of ten names on this list, from No.30 seven to No.40 six.

After the first list was posted, everyone gathered around and carefully looked at their names from top to bottom.

"Huh? I hit it!"

One person's eyes suddenly widened and he jumped up and down excitedly.

His actions were very rude, but the people around him did not mock him, but showed envy instead.

If they can win Jinshi, maybe they will do even more outrageous things.

"And me, I got hit too, it's great!"

More and more people shouted in surprise, but the candidates who were not on the list became more and more nervous.

Because this means that their chances of being on the list are less.

Chen Yi and the others also glanced at the list, but their names were not on it. Like other candidates, they couldn't help but start to get nervous.

After all, it's useless for them to write questions, the final decision is still with the examiner, if the examiner doesn't like their answers, it's useless to write them well.

"Hehe, your names are not on the list at the bottom!"

Wei Jie suddenly sneered at the side, "Oh~ I almost forgot, you don't even have the qualifications to be on the list, so how could you appear on this list?"

"All four are posted!"

"Look, look, look!"

While Wei Jie was speaking, the officials of the Ministry of Officials posted all the four gold lists.

Everyone crowded each other and looked up at the top of the gold list.

Wei Jie directly set his sights on the first one. He is very confident in his results and will definitely be among the best!
After raising his head, Wei Jie had a bit of complacency and confidence on his face.

He couldn't guarantee that he would be the No. [-] pick, but at least he could be ranked in the top ten, so he just looked at the first list.

But when he moved his gaze to the top of the list, his expression froze instantly, and then his whole body trembled like a sieve.

I saw twelve names on the first gold list.

This is not the key, the most important thing is...the household registration written behind these twelve names.

Qianzhou, Qianzhou... All Qianzhou!

The twelve names, from No. 4, No. 12, No. [-], No. [-] to No. [-], are all scholars from Qianzhou!
"Damn it, the candidates from Qianzhou are so against the sky, the top twelve are all dominated by them!"

"Oh my god, what is going on in Qianzhou?"

12 people from Qianzhou directly won the top [-] Jinshi subjects!

But they, the children of the aristocratic family, were left far behind!

This is not just jealousy, it has even become despair!

If one or two people are on the list is shit luck, then twelve people are on the list at the same time, it is a matter of strength!
Twelve people, with an extremely strong posture, slapped everyone hard!

At this moment, Wei Jie was in despair.

Not only him, but even those scholars from Shandong and Jiangnan were all pale.

The results of this scientific examination really exceeded everyone's expectations. They all thought that the person who dominated the list this time would be a child of a family, but they didn't expect that they would be crushed by Qianzhou scholars.

Wei Jie's eyes were dull, and then he turned his attention to the second gold list.

"No.13...Lu Zhaolin."

Wei Jie became more and more desperate, and then lowered his gaze... No. 14, King Luo Bin!
And he only ranked No.15!
Although he was on the list, Wei Jie was not happy at all.

Because he suddenly remembered the bet that if only one person made the list, he would have to run around Chang'an, and these twelve people would be on the list at the same time... Then he wouldn't be exhausted?
