Chapter 539 The Road to the Imperial Examination (17)

Yan Ling didn't care, and his posture was still extremely relaxed. The emperor was overjoyed when he saw it, and he was tired of those people who trembled when they saw him.

The most important thing is that he has long believed that Yan Ling will definitely become the minister of the humerus, and it must be a good day to be loyal to him.

In the middle of the palace examination, someone actually fainted. I don't know if it was too nervous or too tired. No matter what the reason is, I only know that he has no chance to be a Jinshi.

By the time everyone had finished the exam, there was no trace of the emperor in the palace, and no one knew where he had gone.

Two days later, the students who participated in the palace examination were gathered in front of the hall again, but this time they did not enter the hall, but waited outside the hall.

(Times are compiled by the author.)
In the huge palace, many court ministers have already stood,
Yan Ling squinted her eyes and stood staggeringly outside the hall. No one approached her and talked to her. It was not because they were afraid to disturb others and dared not speak, but because they didn't want to talk to her.

She had already seen several people discussing her in low voices, all of them were disdainful and dissatisfied.

Yan Ling didn't pay attention to them either. If she passed the imperial examination and became an official in the court, she would have nothing to do with those students who were Jinshi, and the identities of the two would become different.

"See Qin Chunan from Xuanchongshan County!"

Hearing Yan Ling's name, everyone felt a mixture of sweetness and bitterness in their hearts. The only ones who were sweetest were Yan Ling and Wen Shimu.

With the help of Yan Ling and Wen Shimu, who had also worked hard himself, he became a tribute scholar and was able to participate in the palace examination. However, the distance between the two was a bit far, with Yan Ling at the front and him at the back.

What everyone was thinking was that according to the usual practice, the first person to be summoned at this time should be the first person in the palace examination—the number one scholar!
The Jinshi who passed the palace examination were divided into three tops. The first three were called the number one scholar, the second place and the third flower, and they were awarded Jinshi and the second;

Among the Jinshi, there are one and three people, and they will be appointed immediately after the palace examination. The number one scholar will be awarded to the Hanlin Academy for editing and writing, and the second place and Tanhua will be awarded to the Hanlin Academy for editing and writing; , Pedestrians, judges, doctors, officials, prefects, and counties.

The top three have the largest number of people, and they were given the same background as Jinshi. The word "tong" actually means "different". "Tongjinshi" is really embarrassing, just like when you are hungry, you have a good meal on the table, but you suddenly find that the dish is on the table. There was a blue-headed fly stuck in the middle, but in order not to starve, I could only stretch out my chopsticks. When I stretched out my chopsticks, I felt sick and uncomfortable.

Tong Jinshi is actually a quasi-jinshi, a backup candidate for Jinshi, lower than Jinshi but higher than Juren in terms of the ancient imperial examination level.

Yan Ling walked briskly into the hall, which made the waiting civil and military officials take a look. In the past, no student had walked in with trepidation, let alone coming from such a humble family.

However, some ministers couldn't stand it when they saw that she didn't kneel down after entering the palace.

"Don't kneel down and salute when you see the emperor!" Xue Guangren, Minister of the Household Department, spoke first.

Yan Ling: "The Emperor has given me permission not to kneel, sir, don't worry."

Since seeing the emperor, there is no need to bow down, so it is even more impossible to bow down to other people. Yan Lingshi was exempted from bowing down to everyone.

Xue Guangren didn't feel that he was worried at all. As a first-rank minister, he had to bow down every morning when he saw the emperor.

Speaking of it, I still feel a little sour in my heart, maybe because of envy and hatred.

"Your Majesty, how can this person break the rules? If everyone is like this, where will the Royal Tianwei go?"

Yan Ling: "I am the only one who has this privilege. Not everyone has this privilege. For example, you don't have it. The power of the Royal God does not need to be reflected in whether students kneel or not. It depends on whether the people live a happy life. Whether the country is vast and whether the borders are stable..."

Xue Guangren's face turned green for a while, then paled for a while, and finally he snorted coldly: "Excessive words!"

"If your lord thinks what I said is unreasonable, you can reason with me."

"Humph!"

The emperor sat upright, did not stop the conversation between the two, and only now opened his mouth: "My loves, you don't need to say any more, it was I who allowed Qin Chunan not to kneel, and I will never change my word."

Yan Ling bent down and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Emperor: "Do you know what the first person announced to you?"

"It should be the title of champion."

"It's not ashamed to say it... But, you guessed it right, Qin Chunan won the first prize and was appointed as the Imperial Academy's editor!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then the second best candidate will be appointed editor of the Hanlin Academy. Only the top three will take office immediately. Other Jinshi or fellow Jinshi must make other arrangements, and the emperor will also be handed over to the people below.

As for Wen Shimu, he was able to enter the second class, and his luck seemed to be good all the time.

Riding a tall horse, wearing a vermilion brocade robe and a beaded hat, Yan Ling was just like a groom getting married, circling the streets of the capital with great vigor and bustle.

This is an event that will be held after the palace examination is announced. Riding on the horse are the top three in the first class, and the one in the front is the top scholar in a scarlet brocade robe.

This time, the first class was all handsome young men, which was relatively rare. In previous years, there were always one or two middle-aged men.

There were so many women onlookers, and each of them threw their brocade bags, embroidered handkerchiefs, or hairpins on them. Yan Ling was the first to bear the brunt, feeling like she was about to be knocked unconscious.

She also had to bear the malicious look behind her. Without even thinking, she knew it must be Chen Xuewen, who was ranked second in the list. She didn't know what was going on and was staring at her all the way.

Yan Ling turned around, covered the object that was thrown at her face with her sleeve, and asked, "I don't know what the second place thinks about me?"

He held back his expression: "No."

"No, don't stare at me."

"I'm afraid Qin Zhuangyuan is overjoyed. When did I stare at you? Could it be that everyone can't understand you because you think you have won the champion?"

Yan Ling sneered: "I don't know about others, but I know you definitely don't like me, forget it, keep staring at me, anyway, you can't do anything to me."

I just like the look in my eyes where I can't stand her and can't do anything to her.

Chen Xuewen: "Vulgar."

"Shame."

Although he didn't know what it meant, Chen Xuewen knew she must be scolding him.

Tanhua Huang Jue came out to smooth things over, and the two stopped their quarrel.

Yan Ling didn't take Chen Xuewen seriously either, but because she had some knowledge, she felt that everyone was inferior to him, and now she was dissatisfied to see her become the number one scholar.

The more this kind of person takes him to heart, the more awesome he feels.

"Chunan, I just threw you a sachet, did you see it?"
