Ben Hou is ill

According to the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager Tai: "Officials and people all over the world, this order will be released and obeyed after three days. It is not forbidden to marry women and sacrifice to those who drink wine and eat meat. Those who should serve for funerals will not be practiced. There is no fault in the belt. Three inches, no chariots and weapons, no men and women crying to the palace. Those who are coming to the palace, all raise their voices fifteen times a day and night, and the ceremony is over. Unless it is a day or night, you are not allowed to cry arbitrarily. On the fifteenth day of the big red, on the fourteenth day of the little red, and on the seventeenth day of the slender, release clothes. Those who are not in the order, Tuo, will work according to the ratio of the order. Announce it to the world, so that they will know what I want, and there will be no change.”

The national mourning was over in just three days, and the posthumous title of the Empress Dowager, the Ministry of Rites and the Zongzheng Mansion, had already been determined. From the posthumous title of Emperor Daizong, she was Empress Zhaode.Prestige and respect are called Zhao, and meritorious virtues are called Zhao; assisting the world and the people is called virtue, and being loyal and practical is called virtue.

Yan Zhaoge just shook his head when he heard that, this posthumous title is far from enough to describe the meritorious deeds of the Empress Dowager, but unfortunately the posthumous title of Emperor Daizong is only Zhaowu, it cannot be surpassed by Emperor Daizong.The blood of the Ye family who died on the battlefield is more than enough to write even a Zhao Lie.

Due to the death of the Empress Dowager, the release of the rankings in the Imperial Palace Examination was postponed for three days. It was not until after the three-day period in the Empress Dowager’s edict that the emperor decided on the rankings of the ten scholars in the first and second ranks. , Sealed up, it will not be known until Chuanlu.Although the courtiers and scholars waited eagerly, no one dared to urge them. One was during the national mourning period, and the other was that the emperor's face was gloomy like a thunderstorm in recent days, and his brows were so wrinkled that he could almost pinch the bone mosquito to death. Dare to tease.

Naturally, no one dared to ask Kneeling Spirit why Jihou Shizi knelt in the row of the emperor's relatives that day.Even Da Zongzheng, with the strongest head, dared not touch the emperor's brow at this time. Although he often couldn't understand human words, he knew how to look at the emperor's eyes, otherwise he would not have lived until this time. After farming, it's his turn to rely on the old to sell the old.

The day before the announcement of the list, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to bring over a Jinshi uniform, which is for tomorrow's Golden Palace pass, the style is very cumbersome, Yan Zhaoge asked Ji Xia to put it away after just one glance.Before leaving the palace, the Eldest Princess specifically reminded her that her Jinshi status is different from other scholars, and she should not be mixed up with the idea of ​​being a classmate.Although the clothes have been given, it is better to wear the court clothes of Prince Jihou, otherwise, maybe the headless household official will be used as a gunman, and she will be sent to Mobei to eat sand. maybe.

Yan Zhaoge thought to himself that the emperor wanted me to eat sand the most. If there were any officials from the household department who did this, they must have been instructed by the emperor.

After she returned to the mansion, she thought about it and couldn't figure it out. Where did she offend the emperor? Could it be because of a Zhuangzi of the empress dowager?The emperor will never be so stingy.It's not too bad to get a cook back from the imperial examination this time.

Early the next morning, Yan Zhaoge ate a plate of green vegetables deliciously, drank a bowl of porridge, changed his clothes, decided between the sedan chair and the horse, and chose to ride a horse.

Wen Jue rode in a sedan chair, Wu Jue rode a horse, and her father was still the general of Zhenbei. Even if he retired, the title of Marquis Ji was earned through actual military exploits. As long as she didn't ride a horse in the street, no one would care about her.There is also a special horse path in Chang'an City. Although it may be a little bit at first glance, but when the emperor's decree comes down, Yijia plus the servant will be even more eye-catching, and it will not be far behind.

On the way, he happened to meet Zhao Guohou who was also riding a horse. Zhao Guohou looked at the robe on Yan Zhaoge with a complicated expression, sighed, and said, "Don't be a lucky minister."

Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands towards Marquis Zhao, and said, "Thank you Uncle for reminding me, Yongyue will keep it in mind."

What is Xingchen, the emperor just uses me as Xingchen, how could I stand here if I am not Xingchen?Until she stood in the front hall of Weiyang Palace, Yan Zhaoge was still thinking about this, even though being a lucky minister had no good end in the end, this was her only choice to get close to the emperor, if she could not survive Xingping four years, everyone would die, What else does she care about?

Although those who have passed the palace examination are called Jinshi, they are not the same.Yan Zhaoge originally expected to go home after getting a top three, but she couldn't refuse if the emperor wanted her to be a top one, and she went back to the mansion and thought about it carefully. Grasping the handle of the Duke of Shu, how did the emperor get infected with the corpse, this matter has not been found out until now.

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites read out some words that will be spoken in every imperial examination, a servant handed over the sealed rankings to the officials of the Ministry of Rites. The eldest princess saluted, walked to a desk in the hall, removed the seal, and slowly opened the ranking written on the silk.

Seeing this scene, the scholars standing behind the civil and military courtiers were all very excited. The only one who was different was Yan Zhaoge. She stood next to Zhao Guohou and was in the middle of the military courtiers.

Countless gazes fell on that table.

The official of the Ministry of Rites said loudly: "No. 1 in the Xingping three-year imperial examination...Qin Feng!"

Although his voice was loud, the front hall of Weiyang Palace was too loud, and he was not standing in the windward position, so the scholars near the gate of the hall could not hear clearly at all.So the palace guards on duty repeated loudly, one after another, until the palace guards at the gate of the palace also finished repeating, and then the shouting was considered complete.

The smile on Qu Suihan's face froze, isn't he the champion?Zuo Xiang clearly said that this time the champion will belong to him ninety-eight out of ten, as long as he wins the champion, he will marry his daughter to him. Who is this Qin Feng who killed a thousand swords?Why did you ruin my marriage?He had already made sufficient preparations before, he even sold one of his legs, and the other one was halfway through, and stopped in mid-air, not knowing what to do, his face was pale and stiff, like a stone statue.

When singing the list, "Yijia" is different from "[-]" and "[-]". In order to show the difference and the emperor's reward, it has to be sung three times in a row. .

"Yijia No.1...Qin Feng!"

When the sound of singing the list for the second time, Qu Suihan finally came to his senses and put his feet back. Fortunately, before the officials from the Ministry of Rites came down to meet him, the scholar named Qin Feng had already appeared on the line, otherwise if he misidentified his name , I'm afraid I'm going to make a lot of ugliness.

"You are Qin Feng? Please follow me."

Qin Feng is tall and tall, the Jinshi uniform worn on him is no different from the robes of martial arts, and he looks talented. It would be better to say that none of the scholars in this hall is ugly.He bowed his hands to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and said in a very loud voice: "I will learn from Qin Feng at the end."

The voice sounded more like a warrior than a scholar.

Qu Suihan racked his brains and couldn't remember where this Qin Feng came from. He was proud and arrogant, and he won five yuan in a row. Make friends, especially make friends with some noble children and poets and book families, how do you know who this vulgar person surnamed Qin is.

Yan Zhaoge stared at Qin Feng's back for a long time, then shook his head. She had no impression of this person. Presumably, it must be because of some changes after her rebirth, which caused the emperor to change his mind, or maybe it was because of Qu Suihan's actions. a rumor.When she thought of this, she suddenly froze for a moment, something flashed through her mind, it was very important, but she failed to grasp it.

Under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, Qin Feng walked out on the royal road under the envious gazes of all the scholars, and finally stood on the right side.

The Royal Road is the road exclusively for the emperor to walk, there is only one exception when the palace examination is released, and the champion and the second place are allowed to go up and walk.

"Minister Qin Feng, thank Your Majesty Long En." He knelt down and kowtowed.

After passing the palace examination, one is a disciple of the Son of Heaven. Although one does not need to kneel down to worship the emperor on weekdays, one still needs to kowtow when recognizing a mentor.

After the third round of Yijia No.1 singing, it was the turn to announce the second place.

"Yijia No.2...!"

Except for the No. [-] pick, the remaining two No. [-] winners are called No. [-], and the younger one is also called Tan Hua Lang. It is an unwritten tradition to announce No. [-] first and then Tan Hua.

"Yijia No.2...!"

After listening to the No. [-] list, Qu Suihan almost collapsed. It's fine if he wasn't the No. [-] pick, but he wasn't the No. [-]?Thinking of the steps he took just now, it's not that no one saw him, the scholars next to him were all watching, and the scholars around him praised him before the palace examination and before the announcement of the rankings, now he may not know why he is laughing at himself in his heart.He wished he could find a crack in the ground and get in.

"Yijia No.2... Yan Zhaoge!"

Why are there three second places?

Not to mention the confused scholars, even the courtiers who checked the papers were also confused.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites who passed the announcement bowed their waists and ran to His Royal Highness to ask the servants a few words. The servants reported to the emperor, and then passed them on to the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Only then did they understand.

Because there are those who come from the royal family in the Imperial Palace Examination, and although their literary talents are excellent, they should be ranked first, but after all, they have not gone through the provincial examination. It is inevitable that the scholars will think it is unfair.

After Yan Zhaoge came out of the queue, she knelt down to thank her, then stood up and stood behind the other two runners-up. She inadvertently raised her head, and exchanged a glance with the eldest princess in the hall.

She suddenly felt as if she had grasped something, but it was a little illusory.

The eldest princess' eyes flickered slightly, and she looked away as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help gnashing his teeth, thinking of the news reported by the Commander of Jin Yiwei a few days ago, his heart was itchy with annoyance.

Even if you, Yan Zhaoge, are very good, you are still not worthy of my imperial sister!

He began to seriously consider whether he should send Yan Zhaoge to Mobei to eat sand, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he had to give up.The main reason is that his imperial sister will definitely object, and the courtiers will not agree, and it is easy for others to think that he is dissatisfied with General Zhenbei.

Yan Shizhong, I am waiting for you.I want to see how much you really like my imperial sister.

The emperor couldn't help showing a sinister smile.

The commander of Jin Yiwei who was waiting by the side shuddered, and subconsciously touched his buttocks. The whip he received last time hasn't healed yet, is he going to be whipped again so soon?

The author has something to say: Fortunately, luckily, I caught up.

Copywriting [-] and copywriting [-] are not in the same time period.

Regarding the question of the year name, the emperor generally does not change the yuan in the year he succeeds to the throne, but the yuan is changed only in the second year of his succession, which is called the first year of XX.It is relatively rare to change the Yuan in the year of succession, and there are many emperors who continue to use the reign name of the previous emperor.You can guess what happened
