Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

Wu Bai put down his pen, checked his answer sheet, and found that he did not offend the noble person's name, so he was relieved, sat in his seat, and patiently waited for the bell to ring for the end of the palace examination.

On his right, Xiao Zimo put down his pen at about the same time and began to check his examination paper.

Above the main hall, the emperor watched Wu and Bai stop writing one after another, and his heart was agitated. Some wanted to see how Wu and Bai answered the paper, but he still endured it and did not get up.

"Dong dong dong—" the bell rang.

An official in charge of the palace examination stepped forward to collect the three hundred papers, and then handed them over to the examiner appointed by the emperor for correction. The best [-] papers were selected and presented to the imperial court, and finally the emperor selected one of them. The top three, the second top ten, and the rest will be classified into the top three.

Wu Bai stood up according to the instruction of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, followed by all the students to salute the emperor again.

Then they exited the Hall of Preserving Harmony one by one in order of entry, and were guided by the eunuchs in the palace to leave the palace.

After leaving the imperial city, everyone couldn't leave immediately, they had to salute again in the direction of the palace, and then dispersed.

On the carriage, Wu Bai asked, "Is Zimo sure?"

Xiao Zimo shook his head and said: "Your Majesty will come up with the questions for the imperial examination. The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. I dare not make a decision in vain."

In the palace, the examiners who were in charge of grading the papers finally finished reviewing the papers all night long, and then presented the top [-] papers to the imperial court in order of merit.

In the imperial study room, the emperor looked at the test papers in front of him, and began to read them carefully. After he finished reading, he picked up the notebooks drawn up by the chief examiners and looked at them, which recorded the general information of the candidates who belonged to the twenty papers.

After reading this paper, the emperor didn't think much about it. He placed the top paper in the third place. That paper is indeed a gorgeous and beautiful article. Yes, but the emperor paid more attention to the test papers of Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo. Although the two people's articles were a little plain and unpretentious, they made readers feel full of meaning.

In fact, Wu Bai just had a few lifetimes of experience, and wrote down the strategies for preventing and controlling locust plagues he had seen or heard in previous lifetimes. Xiao Zimo was also influenced by him, and he also had some understanding of these things, but he mainly The focus of the discussion is still on how to appease the people, so it is able to hand in a satisfactory answer.

The emperor hesitated between the test papers of Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo, both of which he liked very much.

After hesitating for a while, he finally asked the eunuch behind him: "Liu Fu, I am very satisfied with these two answers. Come and help me see who should be selected as the champion."

Liu Fu didn't dare to be the emperor's master, so he immediately knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty is as blessed as the heavens. From the slave point of view, these two students are both handsome and decent talents. No matter which one of them is appointed by your majesty, it will be a great blessing."

"Hahaha, what you said reminds me. Of course, the younger the son of the champion, the younger he is, the more talented he is. So I appointed Wu Bai as the champion this time." The emperor laughed loudly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, God bless Daliang!" Liu Fu congratulated.

"Hahaha..." The emperor laughed a few times, picked up the booklet at hand, and continued to watch.

Suddenly, he exclaimed: "Is this Jingchuan Province some kind of treasure land?"

"Your Majesty?" Liu Fu was puzzled.

"All the top three students are from Jingchuan Province, and besides that, there is another student who is also from Jingchuan Province." The emperor said with emotion.

"Heavenly prosperity, Your Majesty, all blessings!" Liu Fu said excitedly.

"In this way, it's wonderful." Emperor Xuan Ping smiled and took Xie Ning's scroll paper out from below, and placed it under Yun Zhijing's examination paper.

"Crackling... crackling..."

A burst of firecrackers sounded in Wu Bai's alley, and Yan Shu poked his head at the door, making sure that the other party seemed to be coming in their direction, and hurried into the yard to inform Wu Bai and the others to come out.

As soon as the four of them stepped out of the threshold, they saw several eunuchs standing at the door, two of them were still holding trays, and they were followed by several soldiers.

Wu Bai and the others quickly and respectfully invited people in.

The leading eunuch turned around and uncovered the cloth on the tray, took out a bright yellow imperial decree from it, unfolded it and read: "Wu Bai accepts the decree~~"

Wu Bai and the others hurriedly knelt down, and the eunuch continued to read: "By God's blessing, the emperor summoned the saying, in the 23rd year of Xuanping, Enke Palace Examination Jingchuan Provincial Talent Wu Bai's high school won the first prize, and I hereby announce it to the world, hereby!"

"Wu Bai accepts the edict." Wu Bai raised his hands upwards, and the eunuch put the imperial edict in his hands.

Before Wu Bai and the others got up, the eunuch took out another imperial decree from another tray and read: "Xiao Zimo accepts the decree~~"

"By God's blessing, the emperor summoned...Xiao Zimo's high school ranking is the second place, and I hereby declare it to the world, I respect it!"

"Xiao Zimo accepts the order." Xiao Zimo also raised his hands.

The eunuch put the imperial decree into Xiao Zimo's hands, and then he lost his seriousness, and said with a smile: "Our family congratulates you two again for your success in this subject."

"Happy, happy, tired father-in-law running this trip." Wu Bai hurriedly winked at Yanqi, Yanqi quickly took out the purse from his sleeve and handed it to Wu Bai, who then stuffed it into the father-in-law's sleeve.

The father-in-law withdrew his hand and carried it behind his back. He silently weighed the purse in his sleeve and found that it was not light. The smile on his face was even wider.

"You two, hurry up and get your grooming done, and come with us into the palace to meet Saint Xie En." The father-in-law cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial city.

"Thank you father-in-law for your reminder, please wait for a while, the two of us will come as soon as we go." Wu Bai said with a smile.

"Well, let's go." The father-in-law waved.

"Yanshu Yanqi, hurry up and make a pot of good tea for the father-in-law." Wu Bai turned around and ordered.

"Yes, young master." Yanshu Yanqi replied.

Then these father-in-laws sat on the stools in the yard and drank the tea that Yan Shuliang served for them, chatting at the same time: "I didn't expect that the number one scholar and the second place would live in the same place, and it would save us a lot of trouble." .”

"As far as I know, these two have been classmates and friends for many years, so they will eat and live together."

"I'm sure you haven't heard that Chuan Lu, the top three in the first class and the number one in the second class, are all from Jingchuan Province."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it is true, but Chuan Lu was chosen by His Majesty because of the honor of the first three."

Wu Bai and the two changed their clothes and came out, just in time to hear the last sentence, they couldn't help being a little curious, and asked: "I wonder who the father-in-law just mentioned Chuanlu's name?"

The leading eunuch stood up from the stool and replied, "Then it is said that Lu's surname is Xie and his name is Ning, can Wu Zhuangyuan recognize him?"

"Yes, we were classmates when we were young." Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo nodded together.

"Hey! That's really fate." The eunuch stroked his hand.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone headed towards the palace.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, many students who participated in the palace examination were waiting there. After all the students arrived, they lined up to enter the palace to have an audience.

On the Golden Luan Hall, the emperor looked at the Jinshi standing below, and he said that Wu Bai was compiled from the Sixth Rank Imperial Academy, and Xiao Zimo and Yun Zhijing were edited by the Seventh Rank Imperial Academy.

Wu Bai took the lead and took half a step forward, leading the other two to kneel down and thank him.

As for the other second-class and third-class Jinshi, they will automatically become Shu Jishi and enter the Imperial Academy to follow the "teaching" study, and take the "dismissal" assessment after three years.

If the grades are excellent, they will be retained in the Hanlin Academy, where they will be awarded the Seventh Grade Editing or Review.

If the rest have connections, they will be entrusted with the relationship with the six ministries, and if they have no connections, they will be sent to serve as magistrates in various places.

After the face-to-face thanksgiving, Wu Bai and the others changed into big red robes, black gauze hats with golden flowers on their heads, big red flowers tied on their chests, stepped on golden pommel horses, and began to parade through the streets.

This day is a grand event for the entire capital, and the people of the whole city flock to it, enclosing the main street.

Fortunately, there were soldiers holding signs of 'quiet' and 'avoidance', and the flags and drums opened the way, which allowed Wu Bai and the others to parade through the street smoothly.

Wu Bai rode in front of all the Jinshi, followed by Xiao Zimo, followed by Yun Zhijing, the three of them were special cases, they walked alone, and the second and third best Jinshi behind him went together with five people.

"My lord! My lord!" Yanshu leaned against the window and waved at Wu Bai vigorously.

"Young Master Xiao! Young Master Xiao!" Yanqi naturally wanted to add popularity to Xiao Zimo.

Wu Bai and the others had already reserved this private room, so when they passed by the teahouse, they looked up and smiled at Yanshu and the others.

But Wu Bai didn't know his smile, it almost touched the heart of another person in the teahouse.

Next to Yanshu and the others, a maid pointed at Yun Zhijing who was on the horse, and said in shock: "Miss, look quickly, isn't this the apprentice who tried to moles you in the restaurant that day?"

Xu Jiayue recovered from Wu Bai's smile, looked at Yun Zhijing, and she said in amazement: "It's really him, I didn't expect that he didn't fail the ranking, but became a third-ranked candidate! So, didn't he go to the restaurant to borrow wine that day?" Get rid of your worries."

Yun Zhi Jing Xu sensed the sight of the master and servant, and also looked here. Immediately, surprise flashed in his heart, but soon he piled up his signature smile, and smiled charmingly at Xu Jiayue and the others.

"Miss, he is so handsome!" The servant girl was caught by his smile, her heart fluttered, her eyes blurred.

Xu Jiayue now knows that Yun Zhijing has become Tanhua, and her impression of him has improved a lot, but her heart was on Wu Bai just now, and now she is naturally immune to Yun Zhijing's smile, not fascinated by him, her eyes are very clear .

Seeing the completely opposite behavior of the master and servant, Yun Zhijing felt an inexplicable emotion towards the young lady.

The team continued to move forward, Yanshu regretted: "Young Master, they have gone far."

Yanqi replied: "Yes, let's go back too."

"Okay." Yanshu nodded.

Wu Bai and the others rode on horses, receiving the warm cheers from the people, and kept waving at them in response.

The crowd was very lively, and the common people talked about it.

"The No. [-] pick this time and Tanhua's appearance are both extremely handsome."

"That's right, but I think the most handsome one is Tanhualang."

"That's not true, otherwise I wouldn't be able to become Tan Hua Lang."

"I don't know if they have any family."

"The No. [-] scholar should have no family. He looks the youngest, and he probably hasn't reached the crown yet."

"Actually, Chuan Lu in the back is also quite handsome."

"Indeed, there are quite a few good-looking Jinshi this time."

After finally walking the streets, Wu Bai was exhausted. As soon as he got home, he slumped on a chair and sighed: "This is too tiring."

Xiao Zimo nodded and said: "Indeed, we have been riding horses since noon until now, and not a single drop of water has entered."

Yan Shu and the others heard the voice, came to the hall, saw Wu Bai and the others, and hurriedly shouted: "Young Master, Xiao Gongzi, you are back."

"Well, Yanshu, hurry up and bring me some water, my lord." Wu Bai licked his dry lips.

Seeing his action, Xiao Zimo's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he turned his head to look at Yanshu, asking the other party to prepare some food for himself.

Yanshu nodded and left, and soon he and Yanqi came in with tea and meals.

Wu Bai picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, and said happily, "I feel like I'm alive again."

"Brother Bai, let's eat some food together." Xiao Zimo suggested.

"Okay." Wu Bai nodded.
