Chapter 2151 Number One Scholar and Marriage Grant4

Thirdly, Gu Jinan actually got the third place in the palace examination and became the best man!

Zong Zhengyi was furious, and the peace on his face could not be maintained at all. Feng Yu who was next to him quickly grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "Gu Huiyuan has a handsome appearance, with the beauty of a orchid and a jade tree. Your Majesty has appointed him as the Tanhua Lang. It really couldnt be more appropriate.

Fengyu's words saved Zong Zhengyi's life and prevented him from disobeying the palace.

Zong Zhengyi was grateful, but he was still dissatisfied.

In terms of handsomeness, Song Yin is well-known in the capital for his good looks, and he comes from a wealthy family. His every move is pleasing to the eye, and his grades in the National College Entrance Examination are also good. Why wasn't he chosen to be the top pick?

Who is Gu Jinan? He is just a refugee from the wilderness in the northwest, a farmer who has to carry manure for farming, and a biological mother who has been homeless. Who knows if his mother is a prostitute who has sold herself to survive?

It is simply a shame for all candidates that a person with such a background can become a prostitute!

But the ranking has been decided, and it will be useless no matter how angry Zong Zhengyi is. If he disobeys, he will only be punished in the end.

Emperor Jingyuan originally wanted Gu Jinan to be the number one scholar, so that he could pass the third grade and his name would go down in history. However, because he refused to marry the princess, his position as the number one scholar was cut off, and he was only given the title of "Tang Hua Lang". This was his punishment for defying the imperial power.

Fengyu, Imperial College student in Beijing, ranked second in the high school examination, and was selected by His Majesty to be the second in the current examination! Ouyang Zhang continued to read.

Student, please thank Your Majesty for your kindness! Feng Yu let go of Zong Zhengyis hand and followed the **** forward to thank His Majesty for His grace.

Huang Youchi of Yuchang Prefecture in Zhongzhou is a man of great talent and has the ability to govern the country. He is ranked first in the imperial examination. Your Majesty has appointed him as the number one scholar in this examination!

The number one scholar, Huang Youchi, turned out to be the number one scholar in this subject!

Everyone looked at Huang Youchi. This man was already over thirty years old, with a plain appearance and dark and rough skin. They did not expect that he would become the top scholar in this subject.

Disgusting, Zong Zhengyi was so sick that he felt sick to his stomach. He had been studying hard for more than 20 years, but he lost to an unknown Huang Youchi!

Many aristocratic families, high-ranking officials, and even scholars from famous families are also very unconvinced. Zhongzhou has been in chaos for several years, and yet there is still a champion. It is really a slap in their face.

Shangguange elders and the others were also a little surprised. They originally thought that even if His Majesty did not let Gu Jinan and Zong Zhengyi be the top picks, he would at least give the top picks to Feng Yu... His Majesty admires Feng Yu very much, and the Feng family and the Queen Mother are also very close. When neither Gu Jinan nor Zong Zhengyi is suitable to be the number one pick, Feng Yu is the most suitable candidate.

"Huang Zhuangyuan, come forward and thank me." An internal prison officer came over and said to Huang Youchi.

Huang Youchi was very calm, and he was not very excited about being awarded the title of champion. He tidied his clothes a little and followed the **** to come forward to thank him: "Student, I thank you for your kindness!"

He has a loud voice, is energetic, and has a strong body. He deserves to be from a chaotic place like Zhongzhou.

Emperor Jingyuan sat on a high dragon chair, overlooking the number one, number two, and top pick he had selected, as well as Zong Zhengyi, who was suppressed by him, with an incomprehensible smile on his face.

But he didn't say much. After a moment of silence, he said: "Ping Shen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huang Youchi followed the eunuch's instructions. After saluting, he stood up and stepped aside to receive the number one scholar's gold book, gold feather hat, bright red clothes, and number one scholar's pendant.

In order to prevent wealthy families from monopolizing the court, Emperor Jingwu attached great importance to opening up subjects to obtain scholars. The top three and second-class passers in high school would be given gold certificates, red clothes, and jade pendants, and let them ride horses and parade in the streets, enjoying the applause of all the people.

The rest of the Jinshi will also be given a set of brocade clothes for parades in the streets, so that the Jinshi will not be too shabby and lose the face of the court.

After receiving the gold book and red clothes from Huang Youchi, Ouyang Zhang shouted again: "Fellow Jinshi, pay homage to the number one scholar in this subject!"

Da Chu is very respectful to the number one scholar. The number one scholar in high school and the Jinshi below the first grade in the same subject must salute and congratulate him.

And it was Erjia Chuanlu who led all the Jinshi to congratulate him. The second and third place winners do not need to salute, they can just stand aside and watch the ceremony.

Now Ke Chuanlu is Yao Youqian. According to the instructions of the internal eunuch, he stood in front of all the Jinshi and bowed to the champion: "Congratulations to Huang Gongshi of Yuchang Prefecture in Zhongzhou, who won the top prize in the palace examination in the 14th year of Jingyuan High School. Cai, Cai ,color!"

After saying this, he bowed solemnly.

The Jinshi behind him followed suit and bowed, and recited a congratulatory libretto.

Huang Youzhang's dark face finally showed a little excitement, and he gave everyone a gift: "Thank you all for the congratulations."

After the palace examination rankings were announced, the subsequent etiquette was very complicated and rigorous. It took two hours just to roll call, receive, and give thanks.

By the time it was completely over, it was already afternoon.

The Jinshi got up in the middle of the night. They had been tired all day, and were thirsty and hungry. If they kept working hard, they might faint and die in the palace. Emperor Jingyuan showed mercy and let them go back to rest. They would gather at the Ministry of Rites tomorrow at 11:00, and they would leave from the main gate of the imperial city at 1:00 pm tomorrow. Go out, beat horses and parade through the streets, receiving applause from all the people.

Its over!

All the Jinshi breathed a sigh of relief. After kneeling down to thank the Holy Grace, they followed the inner prison and were escorted away by the imperial guards.

But just after leaving the imperial city, many Jinshi fainted, and the sound of falling to the ground was heard one after another, which frightened the officials of the Ministry of Rites. They hurriedly shouted to the imperial guards: "Hurry and save people."

If a large number of Jinshi passed away just after completing the palace examination, not only Emperor Jingyuan, but also the officials of the Ministry of Rites would be scolded by future generations.

The people from the Imperial Guards immediately came over to carry people and carried the fainted Jinshi to a row of houses at the base of the Imperial City. This was a temporary resting place for the Imperial Guards on duty, as well as the adults and wives waiting to enter the Imperial City, so the house was very spacious. good.

"Warm water, add salt, and pour some light salt water into them first." The imperial guards were warriors and knew some methods to save people who fainted from hunger, fatigue, and fatigue.

Soon, the Jinshi were given light salt water.

Some Jinshi who were in good health woke up after drinking light salt water.

The imperial doctor came quickly. He first gave the stink medicine to those Jinshi who were still unconscious. After waking them up, they felt their pulses. If their condition was not good, they gave them a round of injections, which saved them.

The adults of the Ministry of Rites were wiping cold sweat. Finally, no one was dead, and they arranged vehicles to **** the scholars back... If the scholars from poor families lived too shabbily, they would be sent directly to the Ji Di Garden of the Ministry of Rites, and they would be allowed to live there first. .

Gu Jinan and the others waited until all the fainted Jinshis were revived, and then they were escorted back to Dou's house on Xianning Street by a team of imperial guards.

Thanks to the Royal Guards escorting them, Gu Jinan and the others would not have been able to return to the house... The results of the imperial examination had spread throughout the capital. Almost everyone in the capital knew that there was a Tanhualang and a second-class Chuanlu from Douzhai on Xianning Street.

Two literary stars appeared in a house. People in Xianning Street almost went crazy with joy. As soon as they got the news, they rushed to Dou's house to send congratulatory gifts to Tanhua and Chuanlu.

Fortunately, the two houses on the left and right belonged to Dou Shaodong's family. He sent people to seal the roads in front and behind the three houses, otherwise the gift-giver would have broken down the gate of Dou's house.

So when Gu Jinan came back, he saw the crowd of people in front and behind Xianning Street. The imperial guards drew their swords to clear the way so that they could return to the house.
