The recent wait has been a bit torturous.
Cai Junze looked forward to it every day, hoping to see the results of Yang'er's palace examination as soon as possible.
At the same time, I also had some worries in my heart. What if Yang'er failed to maintain his previous state and performed poorly?
Moreover, he heard from Shen Ziyun that the number one scholar was not necessarily determined by strength, but rather by whether the content of the candidate's answers met the emperor's wishes.
The emperor’s will is the most important.
If the answer conflicts with the emperor's will, there is a high possibility of "falling down".
In addition, appearance is also important!
Those with ugly appearance usually cannot get into the first class!
The so-called first class refers to the top three: the top scorer, the second scorer, and the third scorer.
There are requirements for appearance.
In the past, there were many people who won the first place in the imperial examination, but when it came to the palace examination, they did not get into the first class because of their poor appearance.
Fortunately, Yang'er looks good... Cai Junze is still full of confidence in this regard. As long as he performs normally, he should have a great chance of winning the top prize, even if he stays in the top three.
In fact, the group of people who took the Palace Examination were the same group of people who passed the Imperial Examination, so there was no such thing as failing the exam. However, the Palace Examination was presided over by the emperor, so the ranking had to be reshuffled.
However, normally speaking, those who rank high in the joint examination will not experience much fluctuation in their ranking in the palace examination as long as they perform normally. For example, someone who originally ranked third may be ranked in the dozens in the palace examination... It is possible for the ranking to rise or fall, but the fluctuation will not be too large, and it will usually fluctuate by a few places.
As for those in the middle or at the bottom of the rankings, the fluctuations may be a bit large, because the further back you go, the closer everyone's strength becomes. It's easy for someone who was originally ranked 100th to rise to 50th, or for someone who was ranked 50th to fall to 100th... All of this is possible, and it's normal.
After waiting for so long, in late March, Shen Ziyun finally came to Cai Junze happily and handed him the latest copied list, "Brother Cai, the list is out, the list is out!!!"
Cai Junze looked excited and a little worried. When he took the list, he was a little afraid to look at it.
"How did Yang'er do in the exam?" he asked Shen Ziyun.
"Look for yourself!" Shen Ziyun smiled.
Some surprises still require him to see for himself.
Cai Junze took a deep breath and then slowly opened the copied list. His heart was pounding and he felt like it might burst through his chest and jump out at any time... He was very nervous at this moment!
In fact, seeing Shen Ziyun's expression, he knew that Yang'er would definitely do well in the exam, but... would he be the top scorer? After all, the top three were all very good results. Even so, he felt that being in the top three would be enough, and whether or not he got the top scorer didn't seem that important. But at this moment, he still hoped that his son would be the top scorer! After all, he had already achieved this level!!!
Seeing his nervous expression, Shen Ziyun was watching him from the side with a bright smile on her face.
Finally, he opened the list bit by bit...
The ranking above gradually came into his sight!
Seeing the ranking above, he was stunned for a moment...
Uh, why is Yang'er's name not there?
In an instant, he felt like he had hit rock bottom!
In the first few lines, Yang Er's name is not there, and in the following lines, there is no name either...
His expression froze!
"Brother Cai?"
Shen Ziyun called him a few times.
Cai Junze came back to his senses, looked up at her, his eyes full of loss.
Shen Ziyun was amused and said, "Why are you so disappointed? You held it upside down. Didn't you notice that the words on it are all upside down? You are reading from the end."
Cai Junze: “……!!”
Then, he turned his gaze back to the list!
Ouch!
Surprisingly, I actually took it the wrong way!
It's still so obviously "opposite", but I didn't even notice it!
The names we just saw were all ranked at the bottom, so Yang'er's name was naturally not among them!
Then, he turned the list upside down and looked at it from the top...
Yang'er's name!
still!
High!
Hang on to the first one!
In an instant, Cai Junze's eyes were full of light!
"Yang'er! This is the top scorer!!!"
What a surprise!
What a surprise!
“Hahahahahahaha!”
Cai Junze threw his head back and laughed!
Yang'er, you got the top spot in the imperial examination!
The top scorer!
Seeing Cai Junze's extremely happy expression, Shen Ziyun also smiled and said, "Brother Cai, congratulations! Congratulations to Yang'er for winning the first place in the imperial examination! Moreover, he is the first person in Daxu's history to get six top marks! He is also the youngest top scholar in Daxu's history!"
There has never been anyone who became the top scorer in the imperial examination at the age of fifteen!
Before this, the youngest number one scholar was seventeen years old!
That was more than a hundred years ago!
“Miss Shen, thank you!”
Cai Junze was extremely happy and expressed his gratitude to her repeatedly!
Shen Ziyun smiled and said, "Thank me, then treat me to something delicious."
Cai Junze's eyes were filled with excitement and he said, "Okay!!!"
After becoming the top scholar, Cai Chenyang had a lot of things to deal with.
For a while, he couldn't leave the capital.
As he became the first "Six Yuan Jidi" in the history of Daxu and the youngest number one scholar, he is now famous in the capital!
At this moment, he was like a dazzling star, with everyone's eyes focused on him, the center of attention.
He was extremely calm.
