Fantasy: Starting out as a gigolo, born a Confucian sage

"You all wait outside the palace, walk around, and take a break, but don't leave the palace."

"After His Majesty and several prime ministers have reviewed the papers, the results will be announced on the spot."

Teacher Cui led a group of candidates out of the Golden Palace and immediately gave instructions.

The palace examination will be corrected on the spot, the results will be announced on the spot, and the results will be announced on the spot.

This is the usual practice in the past, and no one found it strange, just waiting outside the palace.

As for what Teacher Cui said, everyone walked around, but no one really went to walk around.

After all, when it comes to the moment of deciding fate, everyone is nervous and in no mood.

Although the palace examination will not eliminate people, there is still a world of difference between the first, second and third place.

The first place has the opportunity to stay in the Hanlin Academy, which is the responsibility of making imperial edicts, equivalent to the reserve prime minister.

The second place walks in the six ministries, and the third place is sent to the local area to be a county magistrate.

This is not the same thing.

"Brother, why don't you look panicked?"

Yang Yuanqing paced back and forth on the spot, and noticed that Shen Wuming was dozing off on the steps of the palace, so he pushed him.

"What's the matter?"

Shen Wuming opened his eyes, "Is it useful for me to panic? Anyway, everyone has done what they can."

"At this time, the most important thing is to adjust your mood. A good mood is really good."

"Is this the heart learning you are talking about?" Yang Yuanqing dug his ears and asked curiously.

Since the last spring exam, the heart learning proposed by Shen Wenming has become popular in the capital.

Many people have told each other about it.

Especially those who have witnessed Shen Wuming's miracles, they believe it without a doubt.

But the interpretation is a bit weird.

At the beginning, it still follows what Shen Wuming said, "My heart is bright, what else can I do?"

Later, it became "My fate is determined by me, not by God, and from now on, the way of heaven is a passerby!"

"Bullshit."

Shen Wuming was too lazy to explain to him. Yang Yuanqing, a fool, couldn't understand such high-end things as heart learning at all.

The reason why he was not in a hurry was simply because he had agreed to the py deal of the empress in his dream just now.

The palace examination was bound to have an accident, after all, the final decision-making power was in the hands of the empress alone.

The Jinshi who came out of the palace examination had another name, which was called the emperor's disciples.

It can be imagined from this.

And the empress had already reached a deal with Shen Wuming and named him as the top scholar on the spot.

"That's it, do the prime ministers have any opinions? If you have any questions, say it now."

The empress divided the test papers in front of her into three piles, from left to right, representing the top three Jinshi.

The left one is the thinnest, and it stands to reason that there should be three copies, representing the top scholar, the second and the third.

But the empress is sick.

In order to maintain the ritual sense of dominating the gold list, she willfully put only one test paper on it.

Several prime ministers looked at each other, and Zheng Chengwu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

As the right prime minister of the dynasty, he still had the right to speak, and if he objected, the empress might not listen.

But the problem is that he has also read Shen Wuming's test paper.

Many of the things listed in it can make people's eyes light up, and the most important thing is the real strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army.

"This..."

Li Guozhong opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping, but after thinking about it, he decided to speak frankly.

"Your Majesty, according to the rules of our imperial examination, three people should be selected for the first-class Jinshi!"

"Shen Wuming's level is indeed very high, but if the rules are broken because of this, it will be bad."

Li Guozhong said seriously.

He himself has no opinion on Shen Wuming, and it can even be said that he values ​​Shen Wuming the most.

Especially the grassland balance mentioned by the other party is not much different from the strategy of vertical and horizontal alliances he originally wanted.

It's just that he wants to use Murong Qianshan to split the Yan State.

Shen Wuming used the grassland as an example, but no matter who it is, it is essentially the same.

As long as a successful case can be made, it proves that this idea is correct.

But the more so, Li Guozhong doesn't want Shen Wuming to be high-profile.

"Shen Wuming is very talented, but he will definitely serve as an official in the court in the future. We should consider him."

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

"It is already very conspicuous to dominate the gold list. If he occupies the first place, I am afraid he will be hated by others!"

Li Guozhong was purely out of love for talent. The left prime minister hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Little Li is right, Your Majesty, I know you value this kid very much, but..."

"We are also doing this for his own good."

The left prime minister said carefully.

The empress said calmly: "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, but it does not say that the tree will definitely be destroyed by the wind!"

"I also know a saying, which is that he who is not envied is a mediocre person!"

"He has this talent, ability, and qualifications, so why can't I use him?"

"What's more, he is now a seventh-level Mohist and a sixth-level Confucianist. Who can move him?"

"Even if you guys, except for the left prime minister, may not be his opponent, right?"

Zheng Chengwu pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything in the end.

He really didn't know if he could take down Shen Wuming, because he knew that Su Letian had been beaten.

"Okay, that's it."

The emperor looked at Mr. Gao on the side, "Bring the list and pen."

Three pieces of red paper were placed in front of the emperor, and she took the pen herself and began to copy the names one by one.

The first list was red paper with gold characters, and Shen Wuming's name was written on it squarely.

The second and third lists were all written in black on a red background, and were copied by the Left Prime Minister and Li Guozhong.

Then the empress took out the imperial seal, exhaled, and then stamped it on the first piece of paper.

In an instant, the paper was blown by the wind!

A faintly visible illusory golden dragon appeared out of thin air, hovering on the paper.

This is the fate of the country.

As for the second and third lists, the left prime minister stamped the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there were also strange phenomena.

However, compared with the imperial seal, it is naturally not as high-end.

"Announce it."

The empress did not go out, but waved her hand, signaling the left prime minister and others to do it.

"I'll do it."

Teacher Cui bowed his hands. After all, he was the chief examiner, and the people outside were all his disciples.

"Come out, come out."

Seeing the door of the hall slowly open, everyone held their breath and stared at the figure of Teacher Cui.

"The results are here, come and see for yourself."

He posted the list on the screen wall outside the Jinluan Palace, which is also a special honor for Jinshi.

Only Jinshi of each session have the qualification to post the list outside the Jinluan Palace for three days.

It is not only for them to see, but also for the civil and military officials walking outside the Jinluan Palace.

"I passed!"

Wang Zhiwei's eyes were filled with tears, and his body was shaking when he saw his name on the third list.

Although at this point, as long as you don't face the emperor and open your big gun, you will not be eliminated.

But when you really see the result, you can't help but burst into tears.
