After the palace examination was issued, the banquet was given to the Ministry of Rites. This was a thank you to the examiner and a congratulation to the new Jinshi.

First, the examiner entered the venue, and after the other party sat down, the top scorer brought the new Jinshi to the table.

The top scorer is one table, the second scorer is one table, and the rest are four people are one table.

The top scholar sat on the head under the introduction of the official Li. But when he saw the boy's face was as heavy as water and his face was serious, as if his relative had just died.

While Li Ling sat down, he heard a surprised voice: "Ah, why could Li Huiyuan be you?"

It turned out that Lin San was sitting opposite him, who was the second best in Jinke.

Although Li Ling didn't think he would definitely win the No. 1 pick, he felt a little disappointed when he knew that he was just a third in the first place.

When he was singing and watching the emperor, he was a little lost. He didn't even know that it was Lin San standing beside him.

The same is true for Lin San. He was a little absent-minded at the time, but he was stunned by the great happiness.

I thought I could win the second place at most, but I didn’t expect that I was the second place.

"Li Huiyuan, I'm benefiting from you!" Lin San said dryly.

Generally speaking, in order to balance the differences between students from the north and the south, the imperial court had some written regulations on admission quotas. For example, although there were more Jinshi and the south, they were generally quite similar.

If the top scorer in the current academic year is a northerner, the other two in the first grade will be admitted to southerner.

And this is the case this time. Kang Hai, a native of the North, became the No. 1 pick, and both Tanhua were from the South.

"I heard that Kang Hai's answer was not perfect, but the emperor didn't want you to be proud, so he put you in third place!" Lin San said in a low voice.

The literati are inferior to each other, but he actually doesn't care much about this unfamiliar Kang Hai. This guy was just lucky enough to win the top scorer.

Lin San was very satisfied with his current situation. He decided to study in the Hanlin Academy for a while before considering the issue of becoming an official in the local area.

"I discussed Qiaoyun and I. We will not be able to go back to Yingtian Mansion for a long time. We are planning to find someone to deal with the property there, and then buy a small yard in the capital, so we will settle here in the future!" Lin San said with a smile. It seems that he and Qiaoyun are living happily.

Lin San was the second place, while Xu Laizai was ranked ninth in the second place.

Fatty Xu was very satisfied with the results this time, but he was not going to enter the Hanlin Academy. Instead, he wanted to follow the old path of the ancestors of the Xu family.

Although there are no major troubles in the border area now, the Mongolian tribes have always been watching the Central Plains, and small frictions and disputes have been continuously continuous, which is a good time to achieve success.

The Xu family took this opportunity and wanted Xu to come to the border for some experience.

My friends who participated in the exam together this time achieved good results, so Li Ling was naturally very happy.

But life's circumstances change unpredictably, and one day will be separated.

The Enrong Banquet is not extravagant, and although there are many types of dishes, it is not extravagant.

The people attending the banquet did not take these foods to heart.

Everyone at the dinner table was talking about the results of this scientific test.

I don’t know which talkative eunuch actually revealed the conversation between the emperor and Liu Ji.

This kind of news is the easiest to spread. In less than two days, everyone in the capital knew that Kang Hai, the new top student, was actually not worthy of his name.

Even at the Eun-honor Banquet, this is what everyone is talking about.

In fact, it is not just the Jinshi, but also the examiners have doubts about whether Kang Hai should be the top scorer.

Especially the cabinet masters who participated in the marking, they even believed that the top scorer this time should have been Li Ling's.

Kang Hai sat alone on the top of his head, and he drank without saying a word, ignoring the delicious food on the table and the comments from everyone.

Although he was furious and didn't say a word, Li Ling and Lin San, who were sitting beside him, both felt a sense of depression. This kid was about to fall to the verge of collapse, and he was probably about to explode.

The emperor personally came to congratulate the new Jinshi. The imperial examination has ended successfully and it has sent many useful talents to the court. The purpose of the emperor here is to encourage everyone to take care of themselves in their future career as an official and strive to do more meaningful things for the court.

But when he just passed Li Ling's table and walked towards the position of the top scholar, he suddenly had a problem.

Kang Hai suddenly poured a pot of wine into his mouth and said, "Emperor, Kang Hai, please make up your mind to make up your mind to carry out Zheng Wang's case. If he really pretends to be a royal relative, please give him a death!"

Kang Hai's shocking words shocked everyone, especially the officials present were sweating for the new top scorer.

Kang Hai is so reckless. He doesn't ask for it before doing things. Some things cannot be said on the surface.

Kang Hai is a top pick, but his future is now ruined.

This case is actually very simple. Zheng Wang is just self-righteous. At first, he pointed out that a woman named Zheng Cui'e was his daughter, thinking that the other party gave birth to the prince.

But this palace maid is just a humble slave. She has neither a birthmark nor a favored by the emperor.

It is said that things are very simple, and the execution of Old Man Zheng is over.

But the emperor just didn't spit out, and the matter was stalemate now, and it has not been finished for more than ten years.

It is unknown whether there is some deeper inside story.

This is a royal taboo, how can you say it in public?

"Who told you about this matter, and who instigated you to ask this?" The emperor asked coldly.

Kang Hai suddenly stood up, and he walked forward two steps and fell to his knees on the ground, but he didn't say a word.

"Nonsense!" The emperor shook his sleeves and left without even looking at Kang Hai.

The feast of Eun-Rong ended unhappily. Not long after, Kang Hai was imprisoned by the emperor. Although he was not deprived of his fame, everyone knew that such a person who bluntly said that he would not have a good end. It would be better for everyone to stay away from him in the future.

The emperor returned to the harem, and Empress Zhang was already waiting for him there.

The emperor's unhappy look did not scare the queen. Instead, she asked sternly: "Master, why don't you answer the top scholar's request in public? Why don't you give him a clear explanation?"

The queen gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Do you keep Zheng Wang's old man and remind me at any time that the prince is not my biological child at all, and I, the queen, was also obtained by relying on other people's children, right?"

This time the queen also broke out. Zhang is naturally not a fuel-efficient person to be able to sit firmly in the harem with many dangers.

The reason why she was able to get the wind and rain in the harem was actually because she grasped one of the emperor's weaknesses.

When Emperor Xiaozong was a child, he could not show himself as a prince in the palace, and then he was bullied by Concubine Wan in every way.

The emperor looked wise and powerful, but in fact he was very cowardly at heart.

When he was a child, he was used to the life-and-death struggles in the harem, so naturally he didn't want to see his family peaceful.

So as long as Zhang’s work is not done too much, the emperor will not care too much.

Sure enough, the emperor just sat at the table and drank tea without blaming Queen Zhang.

Under the window outside the room, the prince quietly shed tears. He came to visit his mother, but he did not expect to overheard such a strange story.
