palace test.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, hundreds of Jinshi sat at the table, scribbling with pen and ink on the most critical test question in life, the test question drawn up by the Holy One himself, and also judging all the palace test papers.

Emperor Xuan Yi, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walked during the walk, and everyone couldn't help holding their breath, fearing that they would be disrespectful in front of the imperial court, but they didn't expect that Emperor Xuan Yi's gaze had been looking at the people in the last row from time to time.

Yan Qing was ranked last, so the table was naturally placed last. The questions on the test paper were well-regulated, but when Yan Qing wrote the pen, she was extremely sharp. When the topic talked about morality and civil affairs, she insisted on writing it.

It is a great merit to use propriety and do not lack martial arts. The great unity is a great virtue.

Emperor Xuan Yi was very curious at first. This poor disciple who listed countless strategies to defeat the Turks in the imperial examination, every word and every sentence made him feel like a treasure. When he met a bosom friend, what kind of person would he use?

way to get his attention?

But looking at it this way, Emperor Xuan Yi was a little dumbfounded.

As if he had learned a lesson, the style of this great talent he was looking at was no longer so sharp, every word seemed to be able to kill the Turks far away on the border, but changed to a gentle but dark style.

The way to hide the edge.

Using culture to domesticate the Turkic barbarians, allowing them to be controlled ideologically by Xuanguo, but there is hidden martial arts in the words. Obviously, his confidant who appreciates it even if he realizes that he is too sharp

Bi Lu secretly encouraged him, the emperor, to use force against the Turks.

It is really with him!

Emperor Xuan Yi laughed heartily.

After the palace examination, the examination papers were all judged by Emperor Xuan Yi himself, and the rankings of No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua were announced on the spot, and the rest of them were Jinshi regardless of their results in the palace examination.

Kong Shibin, a native of Xingtai Qinghe who was originally ranked No.1 in Yijia, held his head lightly, his eyes proudly waiting for the title of No. [-] scholar to fall on him.

Talented and intelligent, with a great reputation, he is still No. 1 in the imperial examination. According to the past practice, the top of the list is the champion.

Kong Shibin was very proud of himself. In his opinion, this class is a mediocre person, and he was the second son of the capital's Minister of Rites, Pei Wangneng, who competed with him for No.1 and ended up No.2.

Compare with him.

But it can only be compared, not comparable.

Kong Shibin was very arrogant in his heart, he was still very young in his early twenties.

According to the elders of the Kong family, he is just a son-in-law. He is very childish, but he has a bit of talent. When others can't hold him down, his nose almost sticks to his forehead.

As the bright yellow dragon robe came out of the inner hall, everyone was excited. The results of the palace examination should be out soon.

To the appreciation of the Holy One, come back and become the champion!

Emperor Xuan Yi's majestic eyes scanned the examinees below, and at the moment Yan Qing moved to the corner, he paused for a moment, with a hint of pride on his thin lips, he said personally: "Today, the 32nd year of Hongqi Palace Examination

The ranking has been determined, the native capital, Pei Wang, is the Xinke Tanhualang..."

Pei Wang immediately knelt down to accept the order, his lowered eyes should have been happy, but because he missed the honor of the number one scholar, he was inevitably a little depressed.

Kong Shibin glanced at Pei Wang who was forced to smile, and thought smugly that he must be the champion this time, who else but him!

Straightening out his chest, he happily thought about what kind of humble attitude he should take to welcome the No. [-] Scholar later.

Can be next.

Emperor Xuan Yi continued: "Native of Hechuan, Jiangnan, Kong Shibin, is the second place in the new division..."

Before Kong Shibin could react, he was immediately stunned, how could he be the second place!In whose hands is the champion!

Soon, the much-anticipated No. [-] ranking appeared.

Emperor Xuan Yi said emphatically: "Native from the suburbs of Beijing, Yan Qing is the number one scholar in the new department!"

Everyone looked at the people around them in unison. They didn't remember who was the champion of the new department or the No. 2 Jinshi from the bottom. Looking at Yan Qing, who was the No. 1 from the bottom, his eyes widened like a bull's eye

, opening and closing his mouth, he was speechless in the hall.

Yan Qing slowly walked forward from behind everyone, lifted his robe generously, Qing Jun's excellent face fell in front of everyone's eyes, and he knelt down to accept the order: "Thank you, Your Majesty appreciates it."

Emperor Xuan Yi narrowed his peach-blossom eyes slightly, showing a satisfied smile.

Even Eunuch Liu was surprised. He had served the Holy Master for many years, and he had never seen the Holy Master so happy. It seemed that this new top scholar would become a big celebrity in the capital.

Falling by half of Yan Qing's position, Kong Shibin was still immersed in shock, staring at Yan Qing's back, wondering why he was robbed of the top spot by this unknown guy? !

The imperial court usually hosts a banquet during the scientific expedition to show grace, also known as the "Luming Banquet".

Usually the emperor would come forward and say some celebratory and encouraging opening words, and then leave, and the rest of the officials would continue to hold the banquet.

But this time, Emperor Xuan Yi took the initiative to stay for the sake of his new champion, and even the prime minister could only retreat to the deputy position.

The Luming Banquet usually plays Feihua Ling, one person will answer a line of poems, and it is a joy to play, not to mention the presence of the Holy Spirit at today's banquet, the Xinke Scholars are in high spirits, and they can't wait to compose a thousand poems.

The famous ancient poems won the favor of the Holy One.

Emperor Xuan Yi, who was in a high position and under the eyes of everyone, didn't pay much attention and drank some sake.

Facing Yan Qing who was sitting closest to the main seat below, he smiled with a slightly drunken eye and said, "Yan Zhuangyuan, as the champion of the new department, I am very satisfied with your strategy and inquiry, and I will give you a reward.

Next, I can grant you any official position you want! "

The order of flying flowers happened to be passed on to Kong Shibin, and he had just recited a poem he had written. When all the officials and new scholars applauded, the words of the Holy Majesty were not loud, but they shocked everyone.

The hearts of all those present.

That is the official bestowed by the Holy Spirit!Below the third-rank high officials, that is, the highest can reach the fourth rank. Even if they are Jinshi, they are only ninth-rank sesame officials when they enter the officialdom.

Starting from the county, the champion and the second place may be better. If you can enter the Imperial Academy as an editor of the eighth rank, the champion will be lucky enough to get the official position of the seventh rank.

There is no way that once you enter the officialdom, you will be able to have the position of a fourth-rank senior official. Let alone a new scholar, even an official who has been in office for decades can't help but feel sour. Kong Shibin's eyes are full of envy and sourness

.

With such great love from the Holy Majesty, it is no wonder that the last one on the list can eventually become the new champion.

Prime Minister Ping Hongbo felt that the atmosphere was not right, and the originally joyous celebration banquet became heavy and dull, so he quickly cupped his hands and advised Emperor Xuan Yi: "Your Majesty, there is no way you can become a fourth-rank official in a day!"

After Emperor Xuan Yi said these words, he also felt remorseful, but he is the emperor, how could he go back on his word?

The more people want to fight against it, Emperor Xuan Yi's extreme cold temper of love for life and evil for death, on the contrary inspired him to defend the champion of the new discipline that he believed in admiring.

Emperor Xuan Yi narrowed his eyes, and looked at the prime minister with deterrent and oppressive eyes: "I have my own considerations, and there is absolutely no reason to take them back!"

The prime minister and all the officials looked at each other, but they did not back down. Many officials stepped forward, wanting to continue to persuade His Majesty to take back his order.

Yan Qing was the first to speak out: "Return to Your Majesty, I do have an official position to ask for your Majesty's approval."

Emperor Xuan Yi's eyes were thin and angry: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Yan Qing replied neither humble nor overbearing: "The fourth-rank military officer who escorted the third princess to marry the Turks——Duwei."

The status of military officers in the government is far inferior to that of civil officials. Even if they are fourth-rank military officers, they must be courteous when they meet seventh- and eighth-rank civil officials in the court.

Officer's promotion, military expenses, food and grass are equivalent to grasping the lifeline of the military officer. How can those simple-minded military officers dare to provoke them.

The atmosphere suddenly eased, let alone fourth-rank military officers, even third-rank military officers, they didn't think they had anything to brag about.

Even the prime minister had no objection.

The matter seemed to come to an end. Although Emperor Xuan Yi felt a little regretful, he could appoint Yan Zhuangyuan as the captain and escort the three princesses to marry the Turks, which just fit his wishes.

Moreover, his three princesses seem to have a close relationship with the new champion, perhaps the champion Yan went there for Yue'er.

Emperor Xuan Yi showed an ambiguous smile.

If it weren't for the fact that Yue'er was married to the first prince of the Turks in name, perhaps this new champion would be a good candidate for a son-in-law.

On the Turkic side, a far-sighted person is really needed to respond.

Yan Qing, the number one scholar who has made many disintegration strategies against the Turks, has to say that he appeared at the right time.

It's not that Emperor Xuan Yi doesn't trust Xuan Hanyue, the third daughter, but that, as a woman, it's somewhat difficult to find out the news.

The next day.

The lively atmosphere of the imperial examinations has not yet eased, the princess's ten miles of red makeup has aroused the lively crowds of the people in the capital.

The champion of the fourth-rank captain who just took office, riding a steed, with clear and dignified eyes, wearing a red robe and python military officer's uniform, walking at the end of the princess's wedding procession, it seems that the groom is even more grooming than the groom, and many people on the side of the road

Whether commoner women, wealthy daughters, or noble ladies all threw brocade handkerchiefs, flowers, and sachets one after another.

He is a champion of the new discipline, riding a steed, wherever he goes, flowers will float there, gorgeous pollen sticks to his fair and cool cheeks, and he stares slightly angrily at the crowds of people on the side of the road.

called woman.

The brows are picturesque, the slightly angry deep black eyes piercing people's hearts, the ruthless and stern face, but the light pink gray blue pollen is stuck on the face, giving people a contrasting sense of threat.

On the contrary, those women were even more convinced that this handsome No. [-] scholar in Xinke had a cold face and a soft heart, and rushed forward screaming even more frantically.

It made Yan Qing panic and had no choice but to avoid and avoid, crowded in the chaotic crowd.

Xuan Hanyue was at the forefront of the sending-off team, resting her chin on her eyes wearily, listening to the too sharp and noisy woman's cry outside the carriage, she couldn't help frowning.

Asked Xiaogui, the maid beside her, "What happened outside, why is it so noisy?"

The maid Xiaogui hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Princess, you are the champion of the new department."

Xuan Hanyue asked suspiciously: "Xinke Zhuangyuan?"

"En." The maidservant Xiao Gui nodded lightly, "During the Luming Banquet yesterday, His Majesty personally appointed the champion of the new department as the fourth-rank military officer Captain, to escort the princess to marry far away."

Xuan Hanyue's eyes were full of sarcasm, she smiled lightly and said: "A number one scholar has become a military officer and even came to this princess, it's really humiliating, how can the father be willing?"

The maidservant Xiaogui saw the princess's cold face, and when she mentioned the current Holy Majesty, she was far from the admiration and reverence shown, and she was a little frightened.

Seeing the servant girl who followed her since she was a child, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to gnaw, Xuan Hanyue felt a little bored in her heart, and asked casually: "Since there is still a long way to go to Turkic, how can I use this new champion to send me away?"

As soon as you have time, let him read some travel notes and miscellaneous books to the princess to relieve boredom. "

"By the way, what's the name of this new champion?" Xuan Hanyue had nothing to do, and Kou Dan turned a page of the book, half leaning on the back of the carriage, with a lazy and complacent posture.

"Native from the outskirts of Beijing, named Yan Qing." The maidservant Xiao Gui replied in a low voice.

The movements in Xuan Hanyue's hands paused, her peach blossom eyes narrowed in an instant, and she said coquettishly, "What did you say?!"
