Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty - Chapter 157

This is an important moment for whether he can get into the Jinshi, Li Yuanying didn’t sleep in, so he called Penghuanyou to come and wait for the list to be released early.

What Li Yuanying didn’t know was that the scoring examiners had very different opinions regarding the ranking of the Jinshi Division, and they almost didn’t roll up their sleeves to fight.

At first, everyone was quite calm and sat calmly and sat down to change the papers. After all, the papers were transcripts of an illegitimate name. They didn’t know which examinee they got, so they all judged them according to their own opinions. Second-rate.

Today’s examiners are all appointed by His Majesty Li Er, and the chief examiner is Ma Zhou. Of course, after His Majesty Li Er named Jinshi examiner, he honorably abdicated as the deputy chief examiner.

But the work is still done by Ma Zhou. Ma Zhou is a very thoughtful person. After His Majesty Li Er became the throne, he assigned homework to his former partners and asked them to write a summary and hand it in for him to see. As a result, one of them wrote very well. His Majesty Li Er saw that this was not right. How come this big boss has so many and so detailed thoughts?

His Majesty Li Er called someone to ask before, only to find out that this guy was looking for a ghostwriter, and the ghostwriter was Ma Zhou. His Majesty Li Er arranged an official position for Ma Zhou and often listened to Ma Zhou’s opinions.

For example, in the past, people were always sent to call out during curfews. Ma Zhou felt that it was laborious and laborious. Since then, the opening and closing of the square city has been based on the drums!

Ma Zhou is such an active-thinking person. He came from a humble background and is full of determination. He strongly promoted the examination paper he reviewed as the first. He believes that the examinee can focus on reality, point out the current disadvantages, and at the same time take into account the literary talent, the whole article is happily read, and many of the measures proposed in it are feasible. No matter how you look at it, this is the first name!

Don’t say anything about literature without first and Wu without second, a good article and an ordinary article are placed together, the gap is still very obvious!

Some people like it, and naturally some people don’t. Some people think that the candidate’s tone is too arrogant, with a point of arrogance, which does not fit their pursuit of moderation and modesty.

If at this time everyone is arguing just because of different personal preferences, then after the initial ranking is drawn up and the original volume is found to check the name, the dispute between the two sides will be completely heated, and some people even agree with the opposing side’s point of view. Not only can’t get the first name, but also should be dropped!

Although Ma Zhou also felt that this number one is not easy to determine, but after hearing other people say that not only could not get the first name, but also fell, he firmly believed in the idea of ​​keeping it first. He directly proposed the final solution: “Then let your majesty decide!”

No way, this answer sheet came from Wu Mei. This Wu Mei was once a talented person of His Majesty Li Er, and now I can occasionally hear the legendary story of “The king of recklessness lost his beauty”. Whether Wu Mei should be the first is really his Majesty Li Er’s decision. After all, no one I don’t know if His Majesty Li Er is as lost in love and tossing as the “reckless king” in the story!

With Wu Mei as the target, no one cares about the rankings of the others. They are all set directly according to the draft rankings, and Ma Zhou takes this highly controversial ranking to his Majesty Li Er for approval.

His Majesty Li Er took it and looked at it.

Twenty-five people were taken in the Jinshi Division this time, five more than the originally planned 20.

This was also instructed by His Majesty Li Er, because even if Chengyang and the others were admitted, they would not be able to go out as officials, which meant they had taken up the quota for nothing. In order to ensure the entry of talents, he has allowed five more places, allowing them to pick up 25 if they meet the requirements.

His Majesty Li Er’s face turned black when he saw Ma Zhou’s first name. Although it had been expected, Ma Zhouzhen presented him with such a list, which still made him feel unhappy. Mainly, Wu Mei used to be a woman in his harem, and now she not only got involved in the imperial examination, but also occupied the top spot!

Even if His Majesty Li Er thinks that the “reckless king is not beautiful” compiled by Li Yuanying is completely nonsense, at this moment, he can’t help substituting for the “reckless king” who looks at the “beloved woman” and raises his eyebrows.

Let him decide whether to let Wu Mei rank first, isn’t it the same as letting him slap himself in the face? !

His Majesty Li Er looked at Ma Zhouyi with dissatisfaction, and felt that Ma Zhou could not be a man at all, so he actually asked him to do such a thing!

It is a pity that His Majesty Li Er knows more about the situation outside than Ma Zhou, and Wu Mei’s article has spread more and more widely. Basically, anyone who can read in Chang’an can speak a few words!

The main reason is that Li Yuanying feels that it is not enough to publish in the museum newspaper, and asks people to compile the deafening passages into songs and sing them in Fengtai Building. Now everyone knows that the imperial examination has produced a wonderful article. Excellent article!

If you change this title to someone else, it is best to keep the person’s article tightly closed, and never let people outside see it, otherwise the two articles will easily be put together for comparison! However, none of the candidates in this year was particularly brilliant, and no one’s answer sheet could clearly overwhelm this article!

This matter is exactly as Li Yuanying said, since he has allowed them to participate in the imperial examination, he should have the mind to tolerate the possibility that they may be named on the gold list and be among the best.

People’s talents and knowledge depend on talent and cultivation, and one is indispensable. Therefore, the true talents have to be one in a thousand. Since Wu Mei’s talent has reached this level, how about giving her a first name?

As for whether this will cause the women of the world to scramble to imitate, they all come to follow this imperial examination, in fact, there is no need to worry. The imperial court recruitment order was issued not a day or two. The people who can’t put down their hoes are still the majority. Even many males can’t take the step of studying, let alone women?

Taking a step back, if they can really read, it’s not a bad thing. It’s important to know that the upbringing of children is mostly done by women. The reason why there are women in the family is that the daughters they teach are knowledgeable and intelligent. There are few ignorant idiots!

His Majesty Li Er had a decision, so he carefully looked at the remaining rankings. Li Yuanying’s name was not found in the front, and until the tenth, His Majesty Li Er saw the three words “Li Yuanying”.

This ranking is not high, but it is definitely not low. After all, there are many people who come to take the test this time. Li Yuanying’s ranking to tenth is enough to surprise many people!

Later, His Majesty Li Er saw Wei Shu and Chengyang Faction at the end of the list. Considering the ages of these three little ghosts, His Majesty Li Er thinks it is great that all four of them can be on the list.

I found all the names I was looking for. His Majesty Li Er returned the list to Ma Zhou contentedly. There was no change in the ranking. It is rare for Ma Zhou to publish it directly according to this list!

At this time, the examiners looked at the ranking again and found that the only three female candidates were selected, and Li Yuanying’s ranking actually caught the tail of the top ten!

The examiners took advantage of the gap between Ma Zhou’s visit and His Majesty Li Er’s approval of the rankings, and re-read a few articles to find out some mistakes, but found that these articles were very smooth and did not feel sluggish.

Those who can be examiners are all well-educated, and Li Er’s trust is quite serious. He can’t do anything deliberately to find faults, so he can only sigh and lament that his student talent is too bad, even a few talents. Ten-year-olds can’t compare.

Everyone had no opinion, and the list was copied and released on time on the day it was released.

Although Li Yuanying and others arrived early, they didn’t squeeze into the front row. They could only stand outside as usual, waiting for the people inside to deliver news. I don’t know why, after the members of the Ministry of Rites posted the list, the circle of people who saw the ranking first fell silent. Everyone stared at the name on the top of the list in disbelief.

The people inside three circles outside the outside three circles are a little anxious, pushing the person in front of them and asking: “What’s the matter? Who is the top? Why are you not talking? After watching, let us take a look. !”

At this time, the circle of talents in the circle woke up like a dream, and exclaimed in despair: “How could this be?” “Wu Mei? Female?” “The top leader is a female?” “Impossible! How could this be?”

Some people even burst into tears on the spot, thinking that God is really unfair, how can a woman take the first place, but they can’t even get the tail up!

When Li Yuanying heard this, she suddenly felt energetic, and she proudly made people give way to them: “Let’s give up, let’s let’s let’s let’s let’s let’s go, let’s let’s let’s let’s let’s let’s let’s let’s let’s let’s let’s go, let’s go in and see!’

When others heard him say this, they all made room for him, letting him lead Wu Mei and others into the front to watch the list. Li Yuanying looked at the top, and Wu Mei’s name was written on it as expected!

This made Li Yuanying so happy that she turned her head to congratulate Wu Mei: “Mei Niang, it’s really you, you got the first name!”

Wu Mei also couldn’t believe it. Looking at the names on the list, she felt happy and brighter than ever before. After she was out of the palace, her mother and sister had written to question her, asking her why she was so confused, so talented and improper, and she actually went with a little devil in the crowd.

Only she knows how happy she is now.

Li Yuanying lives freely and presumptuously, doing whatever he wants; the most important thing is that not only does he live like this, he is also willing to let everyone around him live like this.

Maybe this happiness comes at a price, but what about it, there is no perfect thing in the world. At least for this moment, she firmly believed that her choice was right, and she never regretted it once after leaving the palace.

Wu Mei happily followed Li Yuanying and laughed, and found Li Yuanying and their names on the list. After they were sure that all four of them were admitted into the shikei course, they squeezed out the crowd to meet Di Renjie. A few months of devilish review is still useful, but everyone who took the exam this year is on the list. Di Renjie This servant usually doesn’t show the mountains and the water, but this time he actually won the first name of Mingjingke!

Li Yuanying thought that all her friends could pass the exam, but she didn’t expect that the top spots on both sides were all her own friends. He hand-in-hand a leader who ran to show off with the candidates who came to see the list, saying that he had the top of the Jinshi division in his left hand and the top of the Mingjing division in his right hand. There is no better person in the world than him!

Seeing Li Yuanying’s soreness, many people wanted to beat him in a sack, but their envy and envy towards Wu Mei and Di Renjie were less.

Soon, many people came forward to congratulate them sincerely, especially the classmates who had studied in the Imperial College. They were all very proud of Li Yuanying, who had graced the Imperial College!

Li Yuanying liked the excitement and sent out an invitation on the spot, saying that everyone could come and eat if there was a water table in Fengtai Building this afternoon.

As soon as the Gongyuan was released on the list, the Annunciation officers ran around the streets and alleys. This year the news that there was a woman at the top of the list quickly spread throughout Chang’an City.

Fengtailou also received good news for the first time, knowing that not only did Li Yuanying become the first Jinshi prince in the Tang Dynasty, but they would also have a Jinshi princess! What’s more, the top of the list is also theirs!

How can this be achieved? Before Li Yuanying called someone to spread the message of setting up the water table, Fengtai Building had already gathered ingredients for the first time, and began to prepare the banquet.

Cheng Xin has recently been fascinated by the stage design. After hearing the good news, he used the entire Fengtai Building as a stage to dress up, decorating a lot of colored silk on the inside and outside of the building, and asked people to pierce a beautiful colored door to stand outside the Fengtai Building for use. Come to welcome the guests and transform Fengtai Building into the most eye-catching scenery in the whole street.

Su Qiniang came out with Xinxin to see how the Caimen was tied, and she was very happy to see that all the guys were busy busying themselves. She looked up at the tall Caimen, smiled and sighed with satisfaction: “I never thought about such a day before.”

After a gratifying meal, he smiled and replied: “Who wanted to get it before?”

Such a day is something I never dreamed of before.

The author has something to say:

Little Prince: I am very happy today!
