The emperor's praises ended and everyone dispersed.

Qin Guan beat the horse back to Qin Mansion.

At this time, outside the Qin Mansion Gate was already crowded, blocking the entire street.

As soon as Qin Guan appeared on the street, firecrackers suddenly flickered.

Countless people are crowded with each other.

"The top scholar is back, the top scholar is back."

"The top scholar is so charming today."

Qin Zhang and Qin Wei were both standing at the gate and looking at Qin Guan with a smile on their faces. After Qin Guan got off the horse and saluted his father, he turned around and bowed to the villagers around him.

Then the Qin family moved out a large basket full of copper coins. Qin Guan started to sprinkle the happy money. This was the top scholar's money, which was precious. Men and women on the street laughed and took the money to congratulate him.

The Qin Mansion held a banquet again, but Qin Guan was not drunk this time because he would attend the Qionglin Banquet tonight.

In the evening,

Seventy-six new Jinshis, with excitement and joy, entered the Qionglin Garden, which was separated from the palace by a wall. Tonight, the emperor gave a banquet to entertain the new Jinshi.

The adults had not arrived yet, and there were only these Jinshi in Qionglin Garden at this time, and many people gathered together to talk and laugh. Qin Guan was the top scholar. If it were in the past, there would definitely be many people around him, but this time there were only two people, which looked very strange.

The power of Zeng Xianggong appeared again.

They have not been accepted for official positions yet, so they are still wearing preparatory official robes. Qin Guan, Lin Yuan and Shen Yichen stand together to chat, not caring about their desertedness.

After the exam is over, what is more important is the future career, and the three of them are discussing future affairs.

Shen Yichen said enviously: "You and Brother Lin are the top scholar and the other are the first to join the Hanlin Academy. According to the general situation, you must have entered the Hanlin Academy first and worked in the Hanlin Academy for a few years. Next, you will be promoted to the two officials and decentralized experiences. At that time, you may become the prefect of a state."

"Most of those like me are just sent out directly, and they will be magistrates or become officials in the six ministries. In the future, they will have to climb up step by step by step."

Qin Guan felt a little confused when he heard this.

He also knew that the top scorer was the most likely to stay in Beijing and join the Hanlin Academy, but the latest system task was to "shoulder the side". Should he work in the Hanlin Academy for a few years before talking about it?

Then I don't know how many years it will take.

It can take as long as one or two years, but it may take five or six years.

But I can’t make decisions about choosing an official, so now it depends on the situation.

Qin Guan and the other two were chatting quietly here, but the new Jinshi there were chatting lively. Without the first and third place, they surrounded Su Zizhan, who was second place, mostly flattering. Of course, some people were talking about future careers.

Someone whispered to a friend beside him: "You said, how will we assign this time to select an official?"

"In the past, the first grade entered the Hanlin area, the second grade was mostly assigned to the local government as the chief magistrate, and the third grade was mostly assigned to the six ministries as officials. As for where they could go, it is hard to say." The other party replied.

"You and I are both second-class people, I just hope not to be assigned to those remote areas, otherwise I will be tired and will grow up early."

The man smiled and said, "The remote land is pretty good. If it is distributed to the border, it will be even worse. It will not only manage people's livelihood, but also be responsible for military affairs. If the place where the governance is governed is violated by the Western Xia of Liao and the defense is not effective, maybe it will be impossible to protect your head."

"Resist the city and resist stubbornly."

"Then you die faster."

The two of them became heavier and heavier. Suddenly the man looked at Qin Guan and the other two who were left alone and whispered, "How do you think our top scholar will be assigned this time?"

"Of course I've entered Hanlin."

"Hehe, I don't think so. Qin Guan has publicly offended Zeng Hunter. Do you think Zeng Hunter is so easy to meet?"

The man also glanced at Qin Guan and nodded with deep consent.

At this time, several adults came over.

All the Jinshis of the current academic qualifications were greeted quickly. Qin Guan saw that Yan Chang, a great scholar of the Hanlin Academy, 6 Sheng, the Minister of Rites, and Xie Mingtang, the Hanlin Academy, were aware of these people, and Qin Guan did not know them any more.

Yan Chang stroked his beard and said with a smile on his face: "I was entrusted by the official family to serve as the host of the Qionglin Banquet. I will congratulate you on this year's red list of talented high school. In the future, you will all be officials. The official family asked me to tell you that you must remember the tribute and be cautious."

Everyone bowed again and said yes.

The Qionglin Banquet started, and it was so lively when drinking and chatting. Today, everyone was relaxed and couldn't help but feel a little unrestrained, and the adults didn't care.

At this time, Xie Mingtang suddenly said: "That day, I went to Hangzhou to preside over the exam and ordered Qin Guan's last place. In fact, Qin Guan could have seized Jie Yuan that time. Because of my conservatism, he missed Jie Yuan."

"I think about it now, but I feel a little regretful. If I ordered his Jie Yuan that time, then my court would be able to give a three-yuan pass."

Some people knew this allusion and some didn't know it. They asked one after another, and Xie Mingtang told the story again, and many people didn't feel sorry for each other.

At this time, Grand Secretary Yan said, "How can you miss poetry in Qionglin Banquet? Qin Guan, you are the top scholar in the current academic year. You will do this first poem."

The Minister of Rites 6 Sheng also said: "Qin Guan, you are the 'Civil Immortal' chosen by His Majesty, don't let everyone down."

Everyone applauded.

Shen Yichen, who was sitting next to Lin Yuan, approached Lin Yuan's ear and whispered: "If Qin Guan first writes poetry, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to write down below."

Lin Yuan also smiled, "Anyway, I admire him in poetry."

Qin Guan stood up and bowed to the four sides and said, "Your Majesty calls me a Cixian, which makes Qin Guan panic. Just now, Xueshu Xie talked about the imperial examination, and suddenly made me ring a poem I wrote at the deer music banquet in the provincial examination that day. Today I can make up for it."

Everyone was curious, Xie Mingtang asked, "Which one is it?"

Qin Guan replied: "That is the lowest level of everything, but the best reading."

Everyone suddenly realized that this poem is widely circulated now. No scholar does not know about Qin Guan's poem, but there is still some text. Everyone was curious and shouted that Qin Guan should write it quickly.

Qin Guan chanted loudly:

"The emperor values ​​heroes and teaches you articles; everything is inferior, but he can only read high.

You must study hard at a young age, and you can establish yourself in your writing; Zhu Zigui is the most precious person in the court, and you are all scholars.

Knowledge is diligent, and thousands of books are written in the window of fireflies; in the third winter, who can laugh at the empty stomach?

I have been very talented since I was a child and have a high ambition in my life. When others hold swords, I have a pen like a knife.

When he is a farmer in the morning, he will ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening. When the generals and ministers are not born, men should be self-reliant.

.....”

Qin Guan sang out the poem of the child prodigy.
