Ma Mingfeng returned to the capital on February 24th. At this time, the admission results for the examination were actually released one after another, so some examiners started filling out the charts. Generally, they first dismantled the enrolled persons, and then sang the title after they were dismantled, and then filled in the charts after they were dismantled, and one after they were dismantled. When they learned about the inside story in the tribute court, some minor officials who passed the news in the cracks of the door with some newspapermen, and these newspapers went to report good news separately to get the rewards.

Just the Gaosheng Inn where Ma Mingfeng is located, at least seven candidates received news that they had been admitted to tribute scholars that they were admitted to the tribute, including Fang Yizhi and Wei Zaode, whom Ma Mingfeng was familiar with.

Because after passing the imperial examination, the tribute scholars who participate in the palace examination will be awarded the same title as Jinshi, so as long as they are admitted as tribute scholars, it means that they have passed the imperial examination, and the rest is just a matter of ranking.

So after hearing that someone had passed the Jinshi, everyone around him looked envious. It was definitely a matter of gloriousness to pass the Jinshi exam. From then on, he rose to prominence and was proud. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, it became a tradition to not enter the Hanlin Academy without a Jinshi or not enter the cabinet without a Hanlin Academy. Therefore, if you pass the Jinshi exam, you are qualified to attack the cabinet. This is the highest level of the Ming Dynasty, and you have the highest pursuit of being a marquis and prime minister.

As the saying goes, several families are happy and some are sad. After seeing the news about those people, more candidates were nervous and didn't know whether they could be admitted to this subject. If they couldn't be admitted, they would have to waste three years of time. The expenses in these three years were not something that ordinary wealthy families could afford, let alone those scholars who were already poor?

Ma Mingfeng also knew the importance of passing the Jinshi exam. After all, only by passing the Jinshi exam can you have the opportunity to enter the Hanlin area, and only by entering the Hanlin area can you have the opportunity to enter the cabinet. Only when you enter the cabinet and become the chief minister can you truly have a certain right to speak and can be respected as a minister among the people.

Of course, there was a fundamental difference between the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty and the prime minister. It would be better not to mention this, but this was already the limit of a minister at that time and could not pursue higher levels.

In fact, even if Ma Mingfeng really fails the exam, it doesn't matter. After all, his father Ma Shiying will serve as the chief minister of the Nanming in a few years. By then, his power will naturally not be small. However, as the saying goes, blacksmiths must be strong himself. Since Ma Mingfeng wants to build Nanming into a force that can compete with the Qing people, his own strength and qualifications are naturally very important. The higher his qualifications and the stronger his strength, the more he can have, the greater his voice and the more he can convince the public.

Therefore, it is still quite important for Ma Mingfeng to pass the imperial examination, especially to get a good ranking, because this way you can have a better chance of being named Hanlin.

But I'm afraid there will be no chance tonight. After all, the third day has passed, and it seems that this subject may be a bit yellow. Ma Mingfeng was very unwilling to accept it. He really couldn't figure it out. His articles were definitely very excellent. Even my father said that if he could not write such a beautiful article in the exam room back then, if this question was really made, there would be no problem passing the exam.

But this is not absolute. Another possibility is that the report did not find the place where Ma Mingfeng lives, or even though he passed the exam, he ranked very low, so no one came to report the good news, so he had to wait until the results were released tomorrow before the conclusion was concluded.

However, at this moment, several newspapers walked into the store and asked loudly: "Is Mr. Ma Luan from Guiyang Prefecture, Guizhou staying here?"

"Yes, Mr. Ma is resting in the east crossing courtyard." The owner of the shop stood up and said respectfully: "A few messengers came to report the good news so late. Could it be that Mr. Ma won the Five Classics? "

When the newspaper heard this, he smiled and said, "Shop owner, you are also an old man. Naturally, you know that at this time, the people who came to report the good news were all those who won the Five Classics."

It turns out that when filling in the list, you usually start from the sixth place. After the sixth place, you will only fill in from the fifth place to the first place upside down. This is called the reverse filling in the five-pointer.

It is precisely this reason that by the time the five-key man was over, it was already four days, so the newspaper would come so late. This is also because the Gaosheng Inn where Ma Mingfeng lives is close and far away. If you can receive the news, it is probably likely that it will be after dawn.

Then the shop owner took the newspaper to the East Cluster Courtyard where Ma Mingfeng was. The newspapers were walking and shouted: "Congratulations to Mr. Ma Luan from Guiyang Prefecture, Guizhou for being the third place in the undergraduate degree in high school!"

When the news came, all the people around Ma Mingfeng were surprised. In fact, everyone had already fallen asleep at this time, and even Ma Mingfeng felt a little sleepy. However, after hearing the newspaper outside shouting, everyone got up. They put on their clothes very quickly and walked out of the room together, wanting to see the truth from the newspaper.

Because Ma Mingfeng was preparing to welcome the newspaper, he waited until the third update in the evening, so he didn't even take off his clothes all night. Now, when he heard that he was ranked third in high school, he immediately jumped up from the kang, put on his shoes and walked out.

"Who is Mr. Ma Luan from Guiyang Prefecture, Guizhou?" After seeing Ma Mingfeng and others, Zhuanzi said with joy on his face and respectfully clasped his fists.

Ma Mingfeng quickly clasped his fists and said, "It's true that I'll be born late."

The newspaper quickly said, "I dare not be the first place in the high school entrance examination. I think in the one-month palace examination, the master will definitely be on the gold list and the title of Yanta."

The title of Yanta is already a custom of the Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty. However, at this time, although the custom of the title of Yanta is no longer there, it has become a synonym for the Jinshi in high school. This newspaper actually says nonsense, because knowing how to try means that the Jinshi has been approved. However, after all, it is still one step away from being a tribute to a Jinshi. No matter what, this is a step further. This is actually just a pleasing sentence.

Ma Mingfeng hurriedly thanked him, and at the same time took out a hundred taels of silver and gave it to the two people to report.

The two newspapermen were very happy when they saw this. Mr. Ma was young and generous, and had a bright future. He naturally kept giving him a high hat and praised Ma Mingfeng very much. He also wished Ma Mingfeng to be the first-class in the palace examination, and to be the first Jinshi, etc.

Ma Mingfeng smiled and ordered someone to send the newspaper away, and then said to everyone: "Today we have dinner early, and then go to the Gongyuan to read the list. If you have anything else, you can do your own business, but don't forget to come back before sunset. We will go to Taibai Restaurant to celebrate tonight."

At this time, no one went to do private affairs. They all wanted to follow Ma Mingfeng to watch the list. Even the youngest Liu Zhaoqi cheered and wanted to watch the list.

Since I learned that Ma Mingfeng had won the Jinshi, many of them felt that following Ma Mingfeng had a better future. After all, becoming a Jinshi is already the peak of fame. Even if you are exiled, the worst one is a seventh-rank county magistrate. Moreover, even if you are a county magistrate, you will not be promoted slowly. If you stay in the worst for more than ten years, you will become an official like a prefect or even a governor. If you are named Hanlin, you will be promoted faster. If you are promoted quickly in more than ten years, you may be admitted to the cabinet.

And in the army, if you are a big-headed soldier, no matter how fast the promotion is, it will be extremely rare in more than ten years, not to mention more senior officers.

So if we say that these people were willing to follow Ma Mingfeng before, it was because Ma Mingfeng's kindness and they had no way out. Now it was because they could make a name for themselves with Ma Mingfeng, which made these people more loyal to Ma Mingfeng. Even Yu Zhenlong was originally a half-teacher-half-friendly relationship with Ma Mingfeng, but the reason why he listened to Ma Mingfeng's arrangements was mainly due to gratitude, brotherhood and motivation for help, but now there is an additional meaning of obedience.
