Chapter 280: Careless
On the contrary, looking at his expression, he seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Chen Shuming was really unsure of what he would face, but he also felt that it was probably just as Song Jingyun said, and it shouldn't be a bad thing, so he gradually felt a little more at ease.
The two followed Tang Zhichuan and others to the main hall.
Although it was their first time to see the emperor, the two knew the rules and only bowed their heads to the front and kneeled down to pay their respects. "Your Highness, long live the emperor."
"Hurry up and stand up." The emperor was a little restless on the dragon throne at this time, so he quickly walked to Song Jingyun and Chen Shuming and asked, "Which one of you is Song Jingyun?"
"Your Majesty, I am Song Jingyun." Song Jingyun stood up and saluted again.
The emperor looked Song Jingyun up and down.
He has a tall figure, handsome face, regular features, and his brows reveal the youthful vigor and faint smile that are unique to young people. When people look at him, they feel both calm and favorable.
The emperor couldn't help but nod his head again and again, "Not bad, it's really good."
He has the temperament that only a heavenly master can have!
“Very good!”
After praising him several times in a row, the emperor said with more certainty, "He is indeed a young talent, a man who can assist me and a pillar of the court!"
"This Song Gongshi deserves the first place." The emperor put his hands behind his back, "Pass on my decree. This time, Song Gongshi will be the top scholar, and this Chen Gongshi next to him will be the second."
After hearing this, Chen Shuming was stunned.
Song Jingyun was the top scorer in the spring imperial examination. Everyone knew that he was well-educated and was a hot candidate for the top scorer in this palace examination. It was within everyone's expectations that he won the top scorer.
Chen Shuming ranked very high in the spring examination this time, and he was very actively preparing for the palace examination, hoping to be able to get into the first class.
Now that he had won the second place, he was naturally happy.
But this second place winner...
So easy?
Was it too hasty? While Chen Shuming was hesitating, Song Jingyun knelt down and bowed, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. Long live the emperor."
The emperor personally appointed it, it is a gift from the emperor, there is no reason to refuse or question it.
Chen Shuming finally reacted and hurriedly expressed his gratitude like Song Jingyun.
"Your Majesty is wise." Tang Zhichuan bowed and asked, "Then who will be the third place winner..."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and thought for a while. "I have already decided on the top and second place winners. As for the third place winner and the others, you can just do what you want. Once the rankings are announced, you can assign positions in order. But you need to remember that after Song and Chen enter the Hanlin Academy, they don't have to do the editing duties. They just need to stay by my side and take care of my personal affairs."
It is intended to be reused.
Tang Zhichuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Yes, I obey your order."
"I will go back to Qingxu Palace first." Having found the person who was guided by the gods, the emperor was now very satisfied. He just wanted to go back to meditate and practice to see if he could get more enlightenment and ascend to become an immortal as soon as possible.
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
The emperor walked away slowly, and when he reached the entrance of the palace, he turned back and told Tang Zhichuan, "You don't have to follow the empty formalities after the palace examination. The court needs people. Let Song Zhuangyuan and Chen Bangyan come to work beside me the day after tomorrow."
"I obey your order." Tang Zhichuan agreed readily.
Upon seeing this, the emperor left satisfied.
After the footsteps faded away, Tang Zhichuan straightened up.
