The tribute courtyard was decorated with lights and colorful colors, fifteen juren took a shower and changed their clothes, each wearing a snow-white Confucian robe and a tall crown and a tall hat. Although Li Yanqing was young, his figure was not lower than other scholars at all, and he was even stronger. After wearing a tall crown and a tall hat, he looked even more energetic and extraordinary.

Among the fifteen juren admitted this time, eight were Tai students, three were local officials and scholars, and the other four were from Yingtian Academy and Yuelu Academy.

In the Wenyuan Hall of Gongyuan, everyone was patiently waiting for the interviewer and other officials to arrive. They gathered together to chat in groups of three or three.

Before the start of this examination, the major students who participated in the imperial examination were clearly divided and did not buy into each other. The local scholars were very hostile to the students of the Imperial Academy and the four major academies from the capital, and believed that they were coming to Xiangzhou to grab the quota of trials that were pitifully rare.

Although there were too many students who returned to their hometown to take the exam, the number of students was very small, and at most they passed the exam, which accounted for a small proportion of the thirty quotas and did not cause much disgust. This phenomenon had little impact.

But this year is different. Half of the quota of release was cut off by the court, but Tai students and students from the four major academies flocked to each other. The last fifteen quotas were taken by them. How could they not make the local scholars angry?

By the same token, Tai students and students from the four major academies also looked down on local scholars, just like phoenixes despising sparrows. Especially after the restaurant incident, Zhao Yushu was beaten. Tai students, who have always been united, were even more disgusted with local scholars.

But Li Yanqing took away the Jie Yuan, whom they were bound to win, and this embarrassment and dissatisfaction mixed into a complex emotion, which led to the Taishu students who passed the imperial examination ignored Li Yanqing.

Except for only one person, that is Zheng Rongtai, an alien among the Tai students. Although Fatty Zheng is only ranked fifteenth, the excitement and excitement on his face seemed to be as if he knew Yuan.

"I had expected that Jie Yuan must be Lao Li, so I firmly... I firmly support Lao Li."

Fatty Zheng almost said that he firmly disagreed with his father's arrangement for him as Jie Yuan, and was choked back by Li Yanqing with a timely elbow.

He glanced at the Tai students standing not far away and chatted, and said, "This group of people are above the top. They are no longer a big deal in Taixue. When they come back, they all think they are self-righteous."

Zheng Rongtai was collectively isolated by scholars from Xiangzhou in the Imperial Academy. Now he finally has a good friend who is going to study in the Imperial Academy, so how could he be unhappy?

Li Yanqing was chatting with another local scholar, Liu Ji. Liu Ji is from Anyang and his father is a low-level official in Zhending Prefecture. He ranked third in the county exam and did not make it to the test list, but he performed extremely well in the test and passed the test eighth place.

Liu Ji is a bachelor of the state. He is only fifteen years old this year. He is relatively thin and has a very shy and introverted personality. He is afraid of being bullied by a too-student, so he always follows Li Yanqing.

"My father also meant this. He asked me to go to the Imperial Academy directly. I hope the Yanqing brothers will take care of you in the future!"

Without waiting for Li Yanqing to speak, Zheng Rongtai patted Liu Ji on the shoulder and grinned, "Brother, I will protect you and follow you, so you won't be bullied."

The thin Liu Ji was like a grass in front of the fat and huge Zheng Rongtai. He was really afraid of this fat man and had to agree timidly. Li Yanqing glared at Zheng Rongtai fiercely, "You kid spend all your time, don't ruin others!"

Fatty Zheng smiled, "Food, sex, and sex! How can I not keep the saint's teachings in my heart?"

At this time, Zhou Chun beside him whispered: "They are here!"

When Li Yanqing turned around, he saw Yang Du and Wu Bangchang coming over, while Zhao Yushu was still standing there without moving, looking at Li Yanqing from afar, his eyes full of deep hatred.

Li Yanqing turned around, with a faint smile on his face, keeping his distance, but not being polite.

Yang Du and Wu Bangchang are both children of the Anyang clan. They are calm and look quite graceful. Both of them are sacrificed by the Imperial Academy, and they both hope to get the status of the middle-level sacrifice through this test.

Although the upper and middle-aged upper and lower-level upper and lower-level upper and lower-level, the gap between the two is like the difference between associate professors and professors in later universities. There is a difference between the provincial examination list.

According to the regulations of the Imperial Academy, the students who are sacrificing their students must study for three years and pass extremely strict exams. Once they are promoted to the middle school, they can be regarded as passing the provincial examination and being a Jinshi.

But this year, there is another choice for the Imperial College. If you have completed your studies in three years, you can be the first to be Jieyuan in the middle school entrance examination, and you can also be exempted from the middle school entrance examination and sacrifice your life. Therefore, the two of them and Zhao Yushu returned to their hometown to participate in the Jieyuan examination and had a clear goal, just to compete for Jieyuan.

In the end, none of the three passed the exam, but a local scholar took away the Zhiyuan period, which really disappointed them. The exam for the Juren was just a little effective in sacrificing his life, but no longer had any meaning to the three of them.

Yang Du and Wu Bangchang walked forward and bowed to Li Yanqing and said, "Congratulations to Li Xiandi for passing the exam. We have read the poems written by Li Xiandi just now, which really makes us feel inferior."

Seeing that the two of them were quite friendly, Li Yanqing replied: "Yanqing's original intention was to win the exam, but he was loved by the chief examiner and pointed to the top of the list, delaying the future of the two brothers. I was really uneasy!"

Yang Du and Wu Bangchang looked at each other, and Yang Du smiled and said, "We have been classmates and friends since elementary school. We have been dating for fifteen years and have deep friendships, but there is only one Jie Yuan. No matter who takes it away, it will inevitably affect the friendship. Although Li Xiandi takes Jie Yuan away, it also preserves our friendship. Speaking of which, we should also thank Li Xiandi."

Wu Bangchang also smiled and said, "I just told Lao Yang that it is actually the best ending for Brother Li to take Jie Yuan!"

Li Yanqing suddenly sensitively captured that the two of them and Zhao Yushu were not as harmonious as they seemed to be. They seemed to have some subtle hostile relationship with Zhao Yushu. They would rather take Jie Yuan away by themselves than want Zhao Yushu to be the top of the list.

Li Yanqing nodded with a smile, "I will also go to the Imperial Academy to study in the future. I hope the two brothers will take care of you!"

Yang Du glanced at Fatty Zheng and said to Li Yanqing meaningfully: "The interpersonal relationship between Taixue is very complicated and is called the small court. You must be careful when making friends!"

"Thank you, brothers, for your kindness!"

The two bowed to Li Yanqing, ignored Zheng Rongtai, turned around and left, and Zheng Rongtai was so angry that he spat fiercely and cursed in a low voice: "Do you think you are a great person to sacrifice your life? You need them to teach you a lesson, what!"

At this time, more than a dozen officials walked in from outside, including the chief and deputy examiner of the imperial examination, as well as the magistrate Liang Xun, the magistrate Jia Quan and other officials.

The Censor Li Gang, who had already talked with Li Yanqing, the top leader in Tangyin during the county examination, this time Li Yanqing passed the Yuan Dynasty. He thought there was no need to talk again, so he ended the inspection in Xiangzhou early and rushed to Zhending Mansion early in the morning, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

The three chief examiners and the prefect, the magistrate sat down, and the scholars came forward to bow and salute together. Guo Baisong looked at Li Yanqing with complicated eyes. He visited the prefect and the magistrate Jia Quan last night after the lockdown, and wanted to turn the tables at the last moment. Unexpectedly, the magistrate Liang Xun criticized him without hesitation. The chief examiner came to preside over the imperial examination on behalf of the court, and confronting the chief examiner Guan is confronting the imperial court. What a stupid idea.

The magistrate Jia Quan didn't even see him, so he turned him away. Guo Baisong finally woke up. For the sake of the little bribe of the Zhao family, he would continue to fight. He was afraid that he would not be able to bear the final consequences. He had to accept this fact and returned the 3,000 taels of silver given by the Zhao family overnight.

The chief examiner Ouyang Xun stepped forward and said loudly: "The sixth year of Zhenghe trial has ended. After two rounds of selection in the county and state trials, the last fifteen outstanding players stood out. According to the court's regulations, the fifteen top players must be rolled and handed over to the local prefectures, and submitted to the Ministry of Ceremony for filing."

Rolling titles are a new regulation that only exists this year. In fact, it is a handover process. The examiner who represents the court handed over the list of juren to the local government. The court affairs are over, and the management rights of juren are transferred to the local government.

"The following call ceremony begins, and the first person to receive the call is Li Yanqing."

Li Yanqing stepped forward and bowed, "Student is here!"

Ouyang Xun looked at him and continued: "Li Yanqing is a student in Tangyin County, the first place in the county examination. In the four examinations of the state examination, he was the best in the classics, the three classics, the best in the policy theory, the best in the criminal law and poetry examination, and the best in calligraphy. He ranked first among the fifteen scholars, so he was selected as the first in the test of the Jie Yuan."

After saying that, Ouyang Xun stopped and waited for the objection. He was silent for a moment. The magistrate Jia Quan took the lead in applauding, and the governor Liang Xun also applauded, and other officials also applauded. Guo Baisong also slapped a few listlessly. Although this was his last chance to object, he no longer had the courage to say "no".
