Those years when I was dressed as a cheap attack [Quick Cross]

Three years later, the hall.

The huge imperial palace was silent and quiet, all civil and military officials retreated to the two sides, and in the center were tables one after another, on which the examinees were leaning their heads and writing vigorously.

Sitting on the throne at the highest place in the palace is the current emperor, and at this moment, he scanned the audience with a blank expression and a majestic expression.

Unexpectedly, time passed so quickly, and it was another three years in the blink of an eye, and the court needed more fresh blood.There are quite a few talents in this class, especially three Jinshi were suddenly born in this small Yun Town.

It seems that this parent official usually does a good job, otherwise the people under his rule would not live and work in peace, study for imperial examinations, and send talents to the country.

The evaluation at the end of this year can mention this position again, presumably those old rotten people will not be able to say anything after seeing this achievement.

He stroked his beard in satisfaction, and the expression on the emperor's face finally became less tense.Looking at the nervous or indifferent candidates below, the emperor suddenly became interested, got up and walked off the dragon chair.

The officials on both sides were also taken aback when they saw the emperor walking down suddenly, they reacted and hurriedly followed behind to inspect the candidates, thinking to themselves, what happened to the emperor today, he was actually interested in coming down to see for himself.

Could it be?Among these people are relatives of the emperor or those concubines who have been favored recently?

Secretly complaining, these ministers still have no expression on the surface, and they look serious, making it completely unimaginable that they have the guts to complain about the emperor.

Suddenly, the emperor stopped, and the elders following behind were wandering in the sky and almost bumped into it.Fortunately, the emperor's attention was not on them, and he didn't find anything wrong with them.

At this time, the emperor was staring at a candidate's test paper with fascination, thinking about it while reading it, frowning for a while, and then suddenly realized.

Everyone didn't respond at first, and the emperor came down to look at the answer sheets of the candidates.

It's just that when the ministers saw that the emperor had stayed in front of the candidate for such a long time, they couldn't help being surprised and surprised, and they all wanted to see what the candidate was capable of.

When I saw it, I was a little surprised, it was because this candidate was too calm.There were so many of them around him, including the Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, but the boy's expression never changed from the beginning to the end.The pen in my hand is even more stable, and I don't even shake it.

Looking at the examinees around him, the emperor just got a little closer to them, and they trembled with fright, they couldn't even hold their pens steady, and when they wrote on the paper, they smudged into a blob of ink.

Comparing the two, it's a matter of opinion.Although they haven't seen the examinee's test paper yet, they can tell from the emperor's performance that the test paper must be very well written.

If I guessed correctly, this is the first name in the palace examination, so I'm afraid I'll give it to him.I don't know who is so lucky, at least it must not belong to those people in the capital, otherwise it is impossible for them not to recognize it.

After thinking about it, the sound of gongs sounded in the hall, and it was time for the exam.In a blink of an eye, the examinee had already placed the test paper draft papers in the test basket in order, and sat there with his eyes closed to rest.

The eunuch who followed quickly collected the test papers and put them in the back of the palace.The examiners who had already ordered the papers were already waiting there to mark the papers. Because there were not many people in the palace examination, they could finish the readings on the spot and count out the rankings.

The emperor also returned to the back of the palace at this time. After all, he had to personally order the top ten, and all the officials also retreated to the sides again.

Although I have told you before, you can relax after the exam.But this is in the Golden Palace after all, even if the emperor is not there, these candidates dare not make mistakes.

They just gathered together in twos and threes, discussing in a low voice how they answered the test paper just now.

"Ah Cheng, the emperor watched you for so long just now, and you must have given an excellent answer. It seems that you are the number one scholar this time." He looked at another tall man with a smile on the opposite side. The smile on his face was sincere, and he could see that he was really happy for him.

And the man who had a stern and expressionless face just now, who couldn't change his expression even if the emperor was beside him, now had a soft and doting smile on his face.

"Okay, do you know how much hatred you have now?" Xue Cheng rubbed Lin Shu's head amusedly, feeling a little helpless.He had already received envious or jealous looks from those examinees, and Ashu even brought hatred on himself.

That's right, this man is exactly Xue Cheng, and the person opposite him is Lin Shu.A year ago, Xue Cheng passed the college examination with good grades, and a year later, he and Lin Shu took part in the provincial examination.

Overcoming obstacles all the way, they finally passed the examination ten days ago, and the two of them finally took part in the palace examination together.

In the past three years, the relationship between the two has become better and better, because Xue Cheng has long since lost his parents, and Lin Shu's parents don't care about him at all.Therefore, no one interfered with their communication at all, and the two had already lived together, and their relationship quickly heated up.

Not far away, a slender man with an indifferent expression was watching the two people get along with each other as if there was no one else with complex eyes, his eyes were full of regret and pain.

Two years ago, although he passed the Juren examination, he didn't marry his teacher's daughter, using the excuse that he wanted to win the Jinshi in one fell swoop and welcome her in a better way.

The teacher was very happy to hear that, and he was very fond of him as an old woman, and he happened to be young, so he could stay for two more years.

Only he himself knows, he just hasn't given up yet.He still doesn't believe that the relationship between him and Xue Cheng for more than ten years is not worth the Lin Shu who just appeared.

But he didn't expect that after three years, not only did the two not separate, but their relationship became better and better.He once wanted to give up, but he was greedy for the warmth and wanted to hold on for a while.

As long as he is willing to come back, then he can afford to wait.

Just today, give yourself one last chance.Xue Wen secretly said to himself, if he is still unwilling, then give up.

Suddenly, the hall returned to the quiet state just now. When he looked up, he saw that the emperor had come out with the examiner, and the eunuch following behind was holding the test paper in his hand.

Everyone held their breath unconsciously, scanning back and forth on the test paper nervously.

After all the officials returned to their thrones, the emperor nodded slightly towards the eunuchs.The eunuch took a step forward, holding the list in his hand and singing loudly from back to front.

Those who heard their names at the beginning unconsciously showed disappointment on their faces, while those who were not reported secretly prayed not to report their names too early.

After fifty names had been reported, the rest were truly relieved.No matter what, at least he kept his second-tier status.

Finally, the eunuch stopped after reporting 120 seven names, and stood behind the emperor respectfully.

Now, everyone knew who the top three were, and all cast envious and jealous eyes.Even if the exact ranking is still uncertain, the top three are still gone.

The emperor stood up, and after scanning the audience, a majestic voice sounded slowly.

"No.3, Lin Shu, Yun Town, Tongxiang County, Yuan Province, named Tanhua."

Hearing his name, Lin Shu raised a bright smile on his face, bent down and saluted:

"My disciple, thank you, Lord Long En."

"En." Seeing Lin Shu's attitude of advancing and retreating, the emperor nodded in satisfaction, just as he had just resisted all opinions and named him as Tanhua.

"No.2, Xue Wen, Yun Town, Tongxiang County, Yuan Province, is ranked second."

"Thank you for going to Ron."

Hearing the same place name again, everyone became a little commotion. After all, there were no two places in the top three in the past, but this year it appeared.

"No.1" the emperor increased his voice, suppressing the turmoil, "Xue Cheng, Yun Town, Tongxiang County, Yuan Province, is selected as the champion."

"Coax." Now everyone was really agitated, and no one could calm down when they heard that the top three were all ordered to come out of the same place.

However, the expression on Xue Cheng's face remained unchanged, and he saluted gracefully.

"Disciple Xue Cheng thanks His Majesty Long En."

"Well..." Seeing Xue Cheng, the emperor's expression was joyful.After all, this talent is really too good, so it is better to say that the number one pick was given to him by himself than by him.

He has won five yuan in a row before, if he is selected as the champion, he will win six yuan in a row.This has never happened since the founding of this dynasty, and it is also the achievements of his emperor.Not to mention, the six yuan in a row symbolizes auspiciousness and auspiciousness, which is a good sign.

Generally speaking, as long as the performance in the palace examination is not too bad, no matter which emperor is willing to collect the six yuan for him.What's more, his policy theory is so well written, it's amazing.

But when he thought of the group of Jinshi who had no skills but were only jealous of the virtuous and the group of old rotten people, he felt a headache and waved his hands impatiently.

"Xiao Lizi, pass the top three strategies and theories to them, and then ask them to compare what they have written, and see if they still have the face to be unfair."

"Yes." The eunuch obediently picked up the top three test papers and passed them down.

The group of scholars and courtiers blushed a little at the emperor's ruthless words, but they read the policy theory more seriously, hoping to pick out some things that were not as good as them.

However, they were disappointed. The policy theory written by the champion Xue Cheng made them feel ashamed and felt the gap with it.

And some officials were even more excited to argue on the spot when they saw some of the proposals.

Although the other two were not as good as Xue Cheng, they were much better than them.If they were asked to rank these two people behind them out of conscience, they would probably not want to.

Seeing that everyone closed their mouths of questioning, the emperor nodded in satisfaction.

"Please send the official roll call." The eunuch's sharp voice sounded.

"No.1, Xue Cheng, is the number one scholar. ...... The top three are awarded Jinshi and the first place, the fourth to No.80 are awarded the second best, and are awarded Jinshi background. The No.80 first to 130 are awarded the top three, Give him a Jinshi background. Qin this."

"Disciple, thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and wish Your Majesty long live and long live." Manchu civil and military officials and examinees knelt down together, and said in unison in the dark.

"All the gentlemen are flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at Xue Cheng who was standing at the front with a kind face, and said gently:

"Xue Cheng, I have read your strategy and theory, and you have something to say, and you have put forward good suggestions for the construction of the country. In addition, as the first six-yuan Jinshi in this dynasty, I have decided to give you a reward, and you can choose it as you like."

Although I said casually, everyone knows that if you dare to go too far, the emperor will not show your face to teach you on the spot, but he will definitely remember to punish you in the future.

"Return to Your Majesty, the disciple hopes that His Majesty can bestow a marriage for the disciple."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.In their view, this Xue Chengding wanted to ask to marry the princess, otherwise why would His Majesty grant the marriage.From their point of view, this was beyond their comprehension. After all, he had just been named on the gold list and was appreciated by the emperor, and his promotion was just around the corner.

But if you marry a princess, you can't be an official in the court. Isn't this self-destructive? !

There are only two eyes that are different from others, one is unbelievable but surprised, and the other is sad and desperate.

Xue Cheng didn't pay attention to the expression on anyone's face at this time, but just took another step forward.

"Your Majesty, this disciple implores His Majesty to marry you to Jinke Tanhualinshu."
