Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

Some danced and laughed up to the sky, while others bowed their hands to the surrounding scholars with a reserved smile, talking about humility, but the smile on their faces could not be concealed, and the surrounding scholars looked envious.

Chen Qi was equally excited when he heard his name.

He obtained a Jinshi status just after transmigrating, and this starting point is much higher than most of the senior traversers.

Moreover, no matter which feudal dynasty you are in, as long as you pass the Jinshi exam, you are equivalent to having an official status.

No matter how badly one performs in the imperial examination, one can still become an official of the imperial court. It is nothing more than the importance of the size of the official position.

Besides, the imperial examination of Tang Dynasty in this world does not test the Four Books and Five Classics, only a piece of theory.

As a time traveler, Chen Qi said that this is completely a sub-question, a stage for him to express himself.

Let him make the country rich or strong.

Chen Qi said that no matter what aspect, he could tell Li Shimin one, two, three, four, five.

As long as Li Shimin and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty can't be found by fooling around, wouldn't it be easy to confer the title of Marquis and Prime Minister?

Thinking of the scene where he became a blockbuster in the palace examination and was admired by civil and military officials in the court.

Chen Qi couldn't help showing a confident smile on his face.

Don't ask, asking is a sure win.

How can you lose when the flying dragon is on the face at the beginning?

The future prosperity of the Tang Dynasty will be opened by me, Chen Qi.

The only fly in the ointment is that Jinshi's status is indeed a bit low, not worthy of his status as a time traveler.

It would be even better if it was changed to the No. [-] pick.

Someone thought a little greedily.

"Quiet, next, is the list of the top ten personnel in the list!"

Just as Chen Qi's thoughts were racing, the officer of etiquette yelled loudly in his ears.

I saw the ritual officer scolded the cheering scholars, and then began to read out the list of Jiabang.

"No.10 in Jiabang, Cheng Ying, Cheng Zongwen"

"No.9 in the Jiabang, Fan Hai, Fan Wenzhuo"

"..."

"No.3 in the top ranking, Lu Shao, Lu Xiuyuan!"

"No.2 in the top ranking, Cui Ming, Cui Mingzhi!"

"No.1 in the Jiabang, Chen E, Chen Guangrui!"

After all, he is a top-notch talent, and he is also the ten most outstanding (with the largest backstage) scholars in this imperial examination.

Therefore, when the ceremonial officer announced the top ten list of the first list, there was a clear difference in treatment.

Not only did he smile more on his face, but he also read out the names and characters of the top three scholars.

Name, name, these two words should be read separately.

A name is a name, and a character is a character, and they cannot be confused.

For example, Chen E, who is number one on the list, Chen is the surname, E is the given name, and Guangrui is the character.

"However, the name Chen E, Chen Guangrui is so familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere."

"Is it possible that this guy is really a historical celebrity?"

Chen Qi couldn't help frowning when he heard the words "Chen E and Chen Guangrui" for the new champion.

He always felt that the name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who this Chen Guangrui was.

I just instinctively feel that this name is unusual, it seems to represent something, it is very important!

No way, during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, if you want to tell him Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Changsun Wuji and others, he must know.

No matter how bad it is, if you tell him about Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang, he is familiar with them.

Only this Chen Guangrui, he really couldn't remember which historical figure it was!

"Congratulations to all the students who have won the exam. Three days later, the Holy Majesty will personally summon you in the Tai Chi Hall to hold a palace test. You need to prepare in advance, and you must not miss the time."

After the ritual officer finished reading the list, he smiled and bowed his hands to the scholars in front of him as a reminder.

After finishing speaking, he left in a leisurely manner, leaving only a group of scholars who were either smiling or dejected.

When Chen Qi heard the reminder from the etiquette officer, he didn't care to think about who Chen Guangrui was. He smiled confidently, then turned and left.

He still had important things to do, so he didn't care about Chen Guangrui.

......

after an hour!

Chen Qi appeared in front of a high-profile mansion with a generous gift.

This is the residence of Yang Xuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and also the home of the head of the Yang family, the top family in the world today.

"I've seen Master Biao!"

When Chen Qi's figure appeared in front of the gate of Yang's mansion, the two servants guarding the gate of Yang's mansion hurriedly saluted and said hello.

"No need to be too polite, but uncle is in the mansion?"

Chen Qi asked with a smile, without any airs.

When the servant heard Chen Qi's question, he immediately laughed and said, "Master Biao came at the right time, Master just returned home."

Hearing that Yang Xuan had just returned to the mansion, Chen Qi smiled even more, greeted the two servants, and entered Yang's mansion with the gift prepared in advance. .

Chapter 3

Hubu Shangshu, Yang Xuan!

Uncle, Master Biao!

It is enough to explain the relationship between Chen Qi and Yang Xuan.

Of course, this relationship is not as close as outsiders think, at most it is a cousin.

Chen Qi's original mother was born in the top aristocratic family of the Yang family, which belonged to a side line, and could barely be regarded as Yang Xuan's cousin.

Family marriage is very common in this era.

With this level of relationship, the Chen family where the original body belonged to also climbed the big tree of the Yang family, the top family in the Tang Dynasty.

Then Chen's father sent a generous gift to manage things up and down, and borrowed the strength of the Yang family to obtain the status of Jinshi for the original body.

As for the real level of the original body, does it have the strength of Jinshi?

Does it matter?

It's a pity that the original body was a short-lived ghost, and he died for some reason just after the imperial examination.

Then Chen Qi, the traverser with the same name and surname, appeared, not only inheriting the Jinshi status that the original body had finally obtained, but also inheriting this layer of identity from the original body.

The only thing that made him feel strange was the original cause of death.

No disease or disaster, just hang up after the imperial examination.

This is somewhat abnormal.

Unfortunately, he only accepted part of the memory of the original body, and the cause of death of the original body was not in his memory.

Therefore, the cause of the original body's death became a mystery, making Chen Qi feel uneasy and a little uneasy.

Chen Qi shook his head, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, and under the leadership of the housekeeper of the Yang family, he finally saw Yang Xuan, who is currently the Minister of the Household Department of the Tang Dynasty.

"Nephew pays respects to uncle!"

After Chen Qi saw Yang Xuan, he saluted respectfully.

"Oh, Ziming is here?"

In Yang's study, Yang Xuan nodded slightly after seeing Chen Qi.

Ziming, that is, Chen Qi's character.

Chen Qi, Chen Ziming!

Yang Xuan was quite satisfied with his distant nephew, so he didn't hesitate to praise him: "That's right, being able to win a Jinshi is not in vain for your father's efforts."

This statement is very straightforward, but it is also an undeniable fact.

If it weren't for Chen's father's management and dedication, it would be really impossible for the original body to win the examination and become a Jinshi.

Of course, it is definitely not enough to rely solely on Chen's father's management efforts, the most important part of which is the uncle in front of him.

Without this high-ranking uncle, Father Chen would not be able to recruit a Jinshi even if he worked his way up and down.

After all, there are so many aristocratic families in the world, and it's not your family who knows how to manage up and down. Whether you can succeed depends on whether the backstage is strong or not.

"It's also thanks to my uncle's teaching. If it wasn't for my uncle's guidance, how would my nephew be able to pass the exam?"

Chen Qi pretended to be grateful. It's not like he had never been in the workplace in his previous life. He still knew how to answer this question.

Yang Xuan was obviously satisfied with Chen Qi's answer, nodded with a smile, and then pointed out: "Although the world today is barely peaceful, there are still many hidden dangers, especially money and food, which is the most worrying thing today. Three days later The palace examination is very likely to be related to this, Ziming might as well spend more time on this aspect."

Chen Qi smiled slightly when he heard this, and thanked him: "Thank you uncle for your guidance, my nephew understands!"

Isn't it just a lack of money, simple!

At that time, if there is a three-way strategy, it will definitely be a blockbuster and shock the entire court.

.......

Three days passed in a flash, and the palace examination was held as scheduled.

At this time, just after the fifth watch, the sky outside was still dark, and the moon was still hazy in the sky and reluctant to leave.

Under the light of the moon, Chen Qi rushed to the gate of the palace, waiting for the start of the palace examination.

The palace examination was held in the Tai Chi Hall of the Tang Dynasty, which is also the place where the emperor and civil and military officials handle the government affairs of the court.
