The emperor only took a quick glance and then decided on the top fifty rankings.
Liu Jingyi and two others were deleted, and Zhao Qingshan and two others were added as fellow Jinshi.
To make sure, the emperor asked for Zhao Qingshan and the other's examination papers yesterday.
The answer was not bad, and just as he guessed, his ranking was around 100th.
The emperor showed special favor and included their names in the list for the palace examination.
Put it around 120th.
The two of them became the first people in history to become fellow Jinshi candidates without taking part in the palace examination.
The emperor did this for students all over the world to see.
He is the emperor of the throne.
One hundred and fifty tribute scholars entered the palace on time, waiting for the emperor to announce their results.
At the same time, notices were posted on the palace walls.
The day of the 1st lunar month was a day of great joy, and the Emperor put off dealing with the criminals until after the Jinshi scholars had ridden their horses through the streets and had gone to the palace for a banquet.
Yu Yuanzheng sent Yang Yunsheng to wait outside the palace wall.
She took her children and sisters to a private room in a teahouse that had been booked long ago, waiting to watch the parade of top scholar.
But no matter how long I waited, I didn't hear any sound of gongs or drums coming from the palace gate.
"Sister, has something happened?" Yu Yueyin couldn't wait.
"I don't know either." Yu Yuanzheng has been busy with his business recently and pays little attention to news outside.
But she had a rough guess, but she couldn't tell her sister.
Soldiers stood at regular intervals on both sides of the road below the teahouse to maintain order.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
Zi Yue opened the door.
"Cousin Yuan Zheng." County Lady Xiangling came in with a bright face, followed by Princess Lingxuan and Lord Jiu of Nanshu.
The Nine-Heavenly Lady still lived in the embassy. Prince Liu had long been exiled, and she was waiting in Wei for her dowry to be delivered.
Just as they sat down, Shangguan Ziqi and Cao Jinyu also arrived.
"Daddy." Sanbao ran up happily and asked for a hug.
Shangguan Ziqi bent down and picked him up.
"Why are you here so early?" Yu Yuanzheng didn't expect that her husband would come to watch the fun.
He gets up early every day and goes out of town, usually not until dark.
"Today is the day when my brother-in-law will be admitted to the imperial examination. This is a major event that only happens once in a lifetime. How can I, his brother-in-law, be absent? Of course I have to come to witness his glory." Shangguan Ziqi said with a smile.
"Mom, is the number one scholar the most powerful person?" Erbao raised his little face to seek knowledge.
"The top three candidates are all the most powerful people." County Lady Xiangling picked up Erbao and rushed to answer his questions.
"Auntie Xiang didn't lie to Erbao?"
"Of course I didn't lie to Erbao."
"No, Daddy is the best. He can beat the enemy so hard that my uncle can't even lift a sword."
Dabao disagreed. Every time he saw his father defeat Uncle Qingfeng and his four companions, he would admire him prostrate himself.
He swore that when he grew up he would defeat his father and become more powerful than his father.
And I can protect my mother and my younger brothers and sisters.
"But the teacher told us a story called "Debate with Many Heroes, Defeat the Enemy with Wisdom and Rhetoric." One person was able to defeat tens of thousands of enemies." Erbao was a little confused.
He also thinks his dad is awesome, but he also thinks his uncle is awesome.
So who is the most powerful among them?
He wants to be the most powerful person in the future.
The two children's childish words made people laugh and cry.
"Your father and your uncle are both very capable. They have different criteria for judging in their respective fields of expertise." Yu Yuanzheng explained with a smile.
"Sanbao, who do you think is better, daddy or uncle?" Shangguan Ziqi asked his daughter for the answer.
"You two are both amazing." Sanbao doesn't want to offend anyone.
"Mom, I want to be as powerful as my uncle. I want to have a debate with many people."
"Mom, I want to be stronger than Dad. When I grow up, I will definitely be able to defeat Dad. From now on, Dabao will protect you." Dabao tried to please his mother.
"Okay." Yu Yuanzheng was so happy to hear her son expressing his filial piety that she gave Dabao a big kiss on the face.
"Humph, you are all so stupid. Mother is the most powerful one. Daddy and uncle all listen to mother. I want to learn mother's skills in the future." Sanbao waved his little fist with great enthusiasm.
The three children's childish words made everyone laugh.
"Good, good, good. The three children of the Lord of the Nation are all ambitious." Liu Yunshu said enviously.
Then he secretly glanced at Cao Jinyu.
The look she gave him was caught by Cao Jinyu.
Then the two of them exchanged glances for a few seconds.
Liu Yunshu turned her head away out of embarrassment.
Yu Yuanzheng also noticed this scene.
Finally, the Lord of Nine Dead no longer has to worry about her.
Just then, the sound of gongs and drums came from afar.
The sun was shining brightly, and the streets and alleys of the capital were filled with a festive atmosphere.
On that day, many people went to the streets to watch the once-in-three-year parade of the number one scholar.
In fact, it was not just the number one scholar who was paraded through the streets, but all the successful candidates were paraded together in order.
At this time, Yang Yunsheng finally squeezed out of the crowd and trotted to the room where Yu Yuanzheng and the others were.
"Crown Prince, Crown Princess, my relative's son is the top scholar." Yang Yunsheng shouted while panting.
"Oh, oh, oh, uncle is the top scorer." Sanbao clapped his hands and shouted happily.
When everyone heard this, they looked as if it was a matter of course. Since he was the top scorer in the imperial examination, wasn't it normal for him to be chosen as the number one scholar by the emperor?
There was a noise outside.
I saw a group of students riding tall horses slowly approaching from a distance.
Everyone stuck their heads out of the window to look into the distance.
The team is getting closer.
Yu Qingsheng is in his prime, with a handsome face and a fair complexion with a healthy blush.
Between his brows, two sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, exuding a heroic spirit.
Riding a black horse, wearing a scarlet top scholar robe, a black gauze hat with golden wings on his head, and a jade belt swaying around his waist, he stood at the front of the parade with high spirits.
On his right was Zhao Jinyu, with a smile on his face, no longer his usual unruly demeanor. He bowed to the people on both sides from time to time, and his every move showed his elegance. He rode a sturdy black horse, and the horse's hooves made crisp sounds on the bluestone road.
Then there was Miao Bingwen, the third place winner. He had regular features, a hint of bookishness between his eyebrows and eyes, and a sunny smile that made people feel like they were in the spring breeze. He was like a handsome man drawn from a painting. He rode a snow-white horse, which made him look extraordinarily handsome.
All three of them are outstanding talents, attracting everyone's attention.
The parade was huge, with loud gongs and drums and colorful flags flying.
The common people on both sides cheered and threw flower petals and colorful silks to the successful candidates to express their congratulations on their success in the imperial examinations.
The children rode on the adults' shoulders, waving their hands excitedly, shouting "Zhuangyuanlang", "Bangyanlang" and "Tanhualang", their eyes full of admiration and yearning for these talented people.
This is also early education for children.
When the team passed by the window where Yu Yuanzheng was.
The three treasures shouted the loudest.
"Uncle, uncle!"
The top three candidates all heard it, slowed down their pace, and waved to their relatives and friends upstairs.
And County Lady Xiangling took out a sachet from her sleeve, and with a flick of her wrist, the scented scent flew away.
Miao Bingwen was quick-witted and quick-handed. He stretched out his hand and caught the sachet steadily.
He looked at the direction where the sachet was flying towards him, and his eyes met with County Lady Xiangling in the air.
There was a flash of shyness and anticipation in County Lady Xiangling's eyes, but also a bit of bold provocation.
There was surprise and joy in Miao Bingwen's eyes, as well as a hint of indescribable emotion.
The two looked at each other, as if all the sounds around them had disappeared, leaving only each other's gaze lingering in the air.
During the twenty days that Miao Bingwen stayed at the Xizhu Mansion, County Lady Xiangling took very good care of him and constantly urged him to read well. In just twenty days, he felt that he had made a lot of progress.
Although the relationship between the two was just politeness, some things were quietly changing.
At this moment, a sachet was thrown over by County Lady Xiangling. The meaning was self-evident.
Yu Yuanzheng also saw it clearly. Before she could figure out what was going on, another sachet flew past her.
