The strongest Marquis in history

Chen Qinglong was shocked when he heard it,

It turned out to be such a thing.

Regarding the imperial examination, although Chen Qinglong is a martial artist, he also knows that the talents selected by the imperial examination are people who are like the stars of Wenqu, and they will be prepared to be generals in the future.

However, it was replaced.

Moreover, the list was replaced before it was announced, which meant that there must be something wrong with the reviewers.

The more Chen Qinglong thought about it, the more his scalp became numb, he said: "Your Majesty, I will arrest you immediately."

Wang Qidao: "No need, the results will be released tomorrow, and then I will receive the top [-] candidates in the imperial examination in the palace. So, I will deal with this matter in the hall tomorrow. What you have to do now is to collect all the candidates who participated in the examination. All the people who are here, please keep an eye on me. Except for the teacher, Mr. Lin Yuanchong, and Zhou Zishan, everyone else must keep an eye on them."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Chen Qinglong felt the killing intent in Wang Qi's words.

Speaking of which, Wang Qi has always treated the courtiers of the Great Qi Kingdom extremely preferentially.But now, when such a thing happens, it will inevitably trigger a series of killings.

Not killing is not enough to deter hundreds of officials.

Not killing is not enough to quell public anger.

So this time the imperial examination, there must be a bloody killing.

Wang Qi said: "Back off."

"Yes!"

Chen Qinglong replied respectfully, then turned around and left.

Wang Qi sat alone in the main hall, thinking about tomorrow's court meeting.After all, this time, a group of people will inevitably be involved. Of course, it may only be one or two bold people, but no matter what, he has to think carefully.

This is also a lesson.

Chapter 793

In the early morning, the entire city of Chang'an was covered in white.It snowed all night yesterday. On the roads, city walls, and tiles, there are faintly visible snow that has not melted. However, there is not much snow, but there is some snow on the surface.

At this moment, at the gate of the Guozijian, there is already a lot of voices, and countless people gather here.

Each of the scholars exhaled cold air from their mouths, with expectations on their faces.

The number of scholars who came to participate in the assessment this time was more than 1, and many of them gathered here.Even some people who were not imperial examination scholars came to see the situation, and even prepared to catch a son-in-law under the list.

After all, this is an opportunity to seize talent.

Although the faces of many scholars were a little flushed by the cold wind, they even felt a little uncomfortable.But the expressions on everyone's faces were still extremely excited, and even more excited.

Everyone yearns and looks forward to it.

Time passed by, and the waiting scholars gradually became a little anxious, because no one has come to announce the list until now.

"Here we come, people are coming!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.

Inside the Imperial College, a group of people came out, each with solemn expressions.This group of people was obviously led by Zhou Zishan.He is the person in charge of this imperial examination, so he came to announce the results in person.

As for Lin Yuanchong, he was in charge of entering the palace to announce the good news.

As soon as Zhou Zishan arrived, he raised his hand and pressed down, and everyone fell silent.A pair of eyes fell on Zhou Zishan.A pair of eyes, with eagerness, anticipation and excitement.

Zhou Zishan looked around at everyone and said loudly: "The number of people admitted in this assessment is 30. The top 30 people selected will be assigned official positions by the imperial court. The rest who have not made the list will return to their original places and wait for the assessment next year. The imperial court will issue a notice next year, and then conduct a unified imperial examination, so those who have not been selected, don't be discouraged, there will be enough opportunities next year."

"The first batch of rankings is released, from No.11 to No.30!"

"Come on, release the list!"

Zhou Zishan waved his hand, and four soldiers carefully carried a piece of red paper to the wall next to the Imperial College, and pasted the piece of red paper on it.From No.11 to No.30, everything is clearly written on it.

Whoa! !

Countless scholars suddenly became excited.

Everyone scrambled forward and crowded, and they were all looking carefully.After all, there are many people watching, but not many people actually make the list.

"I won! I was in the 28th place, and I, Han Jiusi, finally passed the exam. Father and mother, you two are the spirits of the sky. Have you ever seen that your son has won the list?"

Han Jiusi, who was in front of him, became excited when he saw the situation on the list.

He even cried bitterly.

A scholar from a poor family has no contacts, no background, and has been struggling for more than [-] years, so he can only be a teacher.Now, he took part in the imperial examination and succeeded in one day.

"Mr. Han, my young lady is twenty-eight years old. She is in her boudoir and is extremely virtuous. Would Mr. Han be willing to marry my young lady?"

Someone has gone up to ask.

After all, everyone already knew about the selection of a son-in-law under the list. Many people came here to choose a good son-in-law.

Before Han Jiusi could speak, someone shouted not far away.

"I won, I'm in the fifteenth place!"

"Hahaha... I won, I won, I'm in the 26th place!"

Someone shouted one after another.

He who rejoices, is ecstatic.

There are also more people, a heart sank.Because among the top 11, No.30 to No.[-] have been posted, and only the top ten are left.

Most people are aware of their own strength, so many people have left one after another.It's just that there are still many people staying where they are, waiting.

Zhou Zishan coughed twice, and the surroundings became quiet.Everyone's eyes once again fell on Zhou Zishan in unison, and waited again, because the next top ten will be announced soon.

Zhou Zishan ordered: "The second batch of announcements is from No.4 to No.10."

"Come on, make a list!"

With an order, another piece of red paper was pasted on the wall.Among the top ten people, only the top three have never posted.

The people who post it now have a certain influence.

When this batch of lists was posted, someone shouted again.This time I am even more excited, because this time the list is more influential than the previous one.

So those who won were all excited.

Just like this, when someone stood up and said that he had won, a group of people immediately surrounded him and contacted him to ask if he had ever been married and whether he would like to marry a wife in Chang'an.

After all, this is an opportunity.

So more and more people are going to ask.

It is just like this that makes countless scholars jealous, and many people secretly make up their minds. If they fail, they must study hard. As long as they study steadily, they will have a chance.

In the past, even if you were studying, you had no background, identity, and connections, and it was impossible to participate in scientific examinations, and you had no chance.It's different now, the imperial court gave the opportunity, so there is a chance.

Zhou Zishan let the scholars make a fuss, and he finally ordered: "The third batch is the names of the top three. I will announce the names of these three people directly."

"No.1, named Duanmubai."

"No.2, named Xu Mingwei."

"No.3, named Qian Song."

Zhou Zishan said: "These three are the top three personnel this time."

With a wave of his hand, some soldiers stepped forward and posted the list, in order to avoid people who hadn't heard it.

"I'm Duanmubai, I'm finally in high school."

"Finally hit."

Among the crowd, a tall man with narrow eyes and a slightly indifferent face stood up and shouted.This person, who called himself Duanmu Bai, shouted, looking extremely excited and crazy.

As soon as he stood up and shouted, countless people surrounded him and asked Duanmubai if he would marry a wife.Some people even said that even if Duanmubai marries a wife, it doesn't matter, and they are willing to send their daughter to Duanmubai as a concubine.As long as Duanmubai is willing, his daughter will be sent there immediately.

The rest, Xu Mingwei and Qian Song, were not exposed for the time being, but stood quietly among the crowd.

Zhou Zishan glanced at it, frowning slightly.

He understood and didn't say anything.

Zhou Zishan waited for a while, then he called out silence, and everyone fell silent again.Zhou Zishan said: "All the lists have been announced by the official, and the results have already been released."

"Next, I will say two things."

"First, for all those selected on the list, I will give you half an hour to prepare and make arrangements for each of you. Then, you will enter the palace with me to face the saint."

"Second, His Majesty proposed this year's imperial examination, and even next year's and the next year's imperial examination. Your Majesty considers that you and me, who come from humble backgrounds, have no chance. And even the children of aristocratic families may not Opportunity. Therefore, His Majesty personally set up the imperial examination, hoping to recruit more talents, and even more hope that talented people will not be buried in their talents."

"Your Majesty puts so much effort into it. I hope you can study steadily and strive to become useful people. As I said just now, those who have never succeeded should go back and work hard, and they will have a chance next year."

"Next year, there will be an imperial examination."

This is Zhou Zishan's purpose.

What he wanted to read out was to let the scholars be grateful to Wang Qi and remember Wang Qi's kindness.

After Zhou Zishan finished speaking, he turned around and left.Many scholars were still outside the Imperial College, and the streets were still congested, but more people left one after another.Because I have no play, now I have to go back to my hometown and try again.

But think about it, there is still a chance next year, so many people are also very excited.

At least, there is still a chance.

The number of people gradually decreased, and those who stayed outside the Imperial College gradually disappeared.

After the crowd dispersed, 'Duanmu Bai' also returned to his house. The real name of 'Duanmubai' is Wufu. The reason for choosing Wufu is to hope that Wufu can have all the five blessings.

Five blessings, one is longevity, the other is wealth, the third is health, the fourth is virtue, and the fifth is a good death.

Such a name means a lot.

According to fate, ordinary people may not be able to bear this name.However, the name was chosen for a good meaning and a good omen, so this name was chosen.

Wu Fu's father, named Zhou Guan, was the Minister of Rites of the imperial court.

The Minister of Rites is the second in command of the Ministry of Rites, second only to the Minister of Rites.Zhou Guan himself is the examiner this time, so he is well aware of the situation this time.

Zhou Guan's son, Wu Fu, has a rather unruly temperament, a good literary talent, and some knowledge.It's just that there are too many people in the imperial examination this time. Zhou Guan wants his son to stand out. It is extremely difficult or even impossible to rely on Wu Fu's talent alone.

Zhou Guan did everything for his son.He was originally a great Confucian in Xuzhou, and he followed Wang Qi early on and served under Wang Qi's command.When the Qi State was established, he became the Minister of Rites.

This time, Zhou Guan arranged for someone to tie Duanmubai to the mountain.As long as Duanmubai didn't show up from the beginning to the end, then everything is that he has the initiative, and his son can replace Duanmubai.

After all, Zhou Guan had read Duanmubai's writing.This kind of regular script, his son can imitate it, at least seventy-eight percent like it, so Zhou Guan doesn't have much to worry about.

Of course, Zhou Guan had room to maneuver because this was the first time.

Therefore, he dared to give it a try.

If the imperial examination system had matured, Zhou Guan would not have dared to do so.

Wu Wufu returned to the mansion, saw Zhou Guan in the study, and said, "Father, Zhou Zishan said earlier that in half an hour, we will enter the palace with him to face the saint."

Zhou Guan said in a deep voice: "When you enter the palace to face the saint, you probably won't ask Duanmubai's answer sheet. His Majesty will probably re-examine you next time. At that time, you can adapt accordingly. Even if you are a little poor in the palace, that's okay. You could say it wasn't playing well, and that makes sense."

Friday Fu said: "Son understands!"

After a pause, Wu Fu said: "Father, when will the son replace Duanmu Bai, when will he recover his real name? Let me tell you, this matter is also troublesome."

Although he said he was excited to become No.1, but in his heart, he was also somewhat reluctant.

When Zhou Guan heard this, he immediately became furious, stared at Wu Fu viciously, and scolded: "You bastard, the old man has worked so hard to plan for you, and you still say it's troublesome?"

"Do you know the risk of this matter. It's not worth mentioning the impact of whoever is named. You have become Duanmubai in this life, and you can be your heir, and you can still be named Zhou."

"Today's Great Qi State is different from the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is no longer the former conquest, recommendation, and filial piety. If it was in the Great Zhou Dynasty, you can easily work for your father, and you can enter the court for the sake of your father. If you are an official, you can be an official in the Ministry of Rites and even in the local government."

"The current rumor in the court is that all officials in the future must take the imperial examination."

"Otherwise, you cannot become an official."

Zhou Guan scolded: "Under this premise, with your half-pot of water ability, do you think it is possible to stand out among countless scholars? It is useless to talk about it."

Friday Fu smiled.

He is not an ignorant person, so he said: "Father, my son understands."

Zhou Guan said in a deep voice: "This matter, proceed with caution. In short, as long as you pass the palace examination, the imperial court will make arrangements for you. Whether you are released as an official or serve in the court, it will be all right. Yes. After all, there are not many people who know you in the court, as long as you gain a foothold, the future can be expected. This is the first batch of people recruited by His Majesty, and he will definitely entrust him with a heavy responsibility."

Wu Wufu nodded and said, "Father, what are you going to do with Duanmubai?"
