Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 359
It's been a month since the imperial examinations, and it's time to release the results.

On the sixth day of July, all the scholars gathered near the Chang'an County Government Office to welcome this exciting moment.

Even the five tigers, who themselves have official positions, waited early in the restaurant closest to the county government, for fear of losing their reputation.

As for poor scholars like Chao Shangzhi who can't afford to live in restaurants, they can only rely on their own strength to swim upstream in this crowd.

Fortunately, Chao Shangzhi was born in Ludi, so he was already tall, so he could still stand on his feet.

"Child! My child!"

Amidst the noisy voices, Chao Shangzhi still keenly heard a few familiar voices.

Reluctantly turned around and looked sideways, only to find that it was Dai Shuozi whom he had met that day.

At this moment, he was eagerly squeezing towards the crowd, thinking of the child he had just called, Chao Shangzhi also lowered his gaze a little.

Sure enough, Dai Faxing had already been squeezed away and was flopping helplessly among the crowd.

Seeing that Dai Faxing was getting farther and farther away from his father, he felt that his collar tightened, and he was lifted up by the sky.

After facing the light again from the darkness, Dai Faxing realized that it was Chao Shangzhi who directly lifted him into the air by pulling him by the collar.

"Brother Nest! It's you!"

Dai Faxing still had an impression of Chao Shangzhi who helped him and his father out that day, so seeing him again at this moment was naturally a pleasant surprise.

"There are many people here, you stay by my side first. I will take you to find your father later."

"Ok!"

Dai Faxing didn't feel anxious about leaving his father suddenly, instead he chatted with Chao Shangzhi: "Brother Chao, do you think father can pass the exam?"

Chao Shangzhi shook his head: "I don't know how your father answered, how can I know whether he can pass the exam?"

"Brother Chao, can you pass the exam?"

Chao Shangzhi remained silent for a while, but then said one word heavily——

"can!"

Dai Faxing's round eyes widened: "Brother Chao is so confident?"

Chao Shangzhi held Dai Faxing in his arms, and gently squeezed his face.

"At the end of my life, people in the world don't want to believe me. If I don't even believe that I can pass the exam, then I'm really doomed."

Dai Faxing flashed a pair of black shiny eyes half understanding, not knowing what was going on in his little head.

"quiet!"

At noon, rows of county soldiers walked out of the Chang'an county government office and cleared a space at the entrance of the county government office, giving the person in charge inside room to issue the list.

"quiet!"

There was another shout, but this shout was from a brocade guard wearing Shu brocade.

His appearance seemed to have a "cold presence" effect, and the chaotic scholars immediately lined up neatly and did not dare to make noise.

"Now release the rankings! Only the top [-] scholars will be released this time!"

After the order was stabilized, an official from the Ministry of Rites appeared, took out a scroll of blue silk script from a brocade box, and handed it to the officials below.

"The [-]th place, Xue Andu from Hedong! "Ming Jing Ke" A Xia, "Ming Fa Ke" A Xia, "Ming Shu Ke" B Shang, "Ming Suan Ke" B II, "Ming Li Ke" B Middle, "Strategy and Discipline" Part C!"

Xue An who heard his name in the restaurant was startled for a moment, and then became ecstatic.

bingo!

Although it is the last one!
But it's a hit, isn't it?

"congratulations."

The other four of the five tigers were also sincerely happy for Xue An.

On the one hand, it is the deep feelings that have come down in the past few months.

Face to face with this thought——

"Even Xue An can hit...then I can't?"

Xue Andu waved his hands "modestly", forcibly suppressed the smile on his face, and then complained dissatisfiedly: "My score in "Strategy" is so low, I don't know who gave me the review ! Hahahahaha."

Not far behind Xue Andu, a Jin Yiwei silently took out a pen and paper and wrote down these words in his small notebook...

As the names were read out one by one, the five tigers all heard their own names.

Liu Yuanjing is ranked No.70.

Zongxi is at No.60.

Zhu Xiuzhi is in No.40.

The tallest of the five is actually An Jie who is a barbarian. He is ranked No. 40, which surprised everyone who knew An Jie.

"Unexpectedly, Brother An is the one who hides the most."

"Where."

"..."

Compared with the more cheerful Five Tigers, the others are happy and sad.

3000 people take 100 people, this recruitment ratio is really not low.

But like everything else in the world, the unsatisfactory are still the majority.

By the time No.11 was read, someone was crying and sat in a corner.

Chao Shangzhi's hand holding Dai Faxing also trembled slightly, and the knuckles of his fingers showed signs of turning white.

"Brother Nest."

Dai Faxing let out a low voice, and pulled Chao Shangzhi's clothes.

"Let's go."

Ninety people have shouted, but most people have no hope.

Dai Faxing's father, Dai Shuozi, also took advantage of this time to squeeze over. Seeing that Dai Faxing was safe and sound in Chaoshang's arms, he naturally let go of his hanging heart.

"And I was rescued by my benefactor, but Dai has nothing to repay."

"You're welcome, it's a small matter."

Chao Shangzhi was a little absent-minded when he replied at this time, his eyes were still looking directly at the direction of the county government.

Looking at Chao Shangzhi's appearance, Dai Shuozi persuaded him: "There are too many people who have read poetry and books in Chang'an City. Those who can make it into the top ten are probably the dragons and phoenixes among the people. I wait for the poor and humble people... I am afraid that there is not much hope. gone."

Chao Shangzhi didn't respond, but bit his lip tightly, waiting for the final ranking.

When it was the last top ten, that name was no longer on the cyan silk book.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites took out a roll of purple silk bound and sewn with gold thread from a sandalwood box and handed it to the officials. This unusual treatment naturally pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

"No.10, Hongnong Yang Tao! "Mingjingke" Top A, "Ming Fa Ke" Top A, "Ming Shu Ke" Top A, "Ming Suan Ke" Under A, "Ming Li Ke" A Middle, "Ce Lun Ke" "Under Armor!"

"No.9, Jingzhao Du Lei! "Ming Jing Ke" top A, "Ming Fa Ke" top A, "Ming Shu Ke" top A, "Ming Suan Ke" top A, "Ming Li Ke" top A, "Celun" Division "under armor!"

"..."

"No.3, Chen Jun Xie Xun! "Mingjingke" Top A, "Ming Fa Ke" Top A, "Ming Shu Ke" Top A, "Ming Suan Ke" Top A, "Ming Li Ke" Top A, "Celun" Section "A middle class!"

"No.2, Langya Wang Sengliang! "Ming Jing Ke" top, "Ming Fa Ke" top, "Ming Shu Ke" top, "Ming Suan Ke" top, "Ming Li Ke" top, "Ce Lun Ke" "A middle class!"

Family!Family!All the family!

Even if there is no Ninth Grade Zhongzheng System, the resources mastered by the aristocratic family will far crush ordinary people, and it is easier for their clansmen to stand on a high place and watch the distant scenery.

Just someone is weird.

No.2 Wang Sengliang is the eldest grandson of Wang Hong!
Who is it that can be ranked in front of him?

Chao Shangzhi's body was shaking a little at the moment, and he couldn't listen to the comments of the people around him.

Even if he is as tough as him, he doesn't think he will be the proud son of heaven who will dominate his life.

Will the spirit of a young man still not be able to pierce this drowsy sky after all?

Seeing this, Dai Faxing put his hands on Chao Shangzhi's back to comfort him: "I'm waiting, I can't turn over yet."

Chao Shangzhi raised his head and looked at the imperial palace not far away, something unknown swirled silently in his eyes.

Just at this time, the sun passing over everyone's heads cast a beam of light, illuminating the majestic Taiji Palace and also illuminating Chao Shangzhi's face.

"No. 1! Chao Shangzhi of Lu County! "Ming Jing Ke" top, "Ming Fa Ke" top, "Ming Shu Ke" top, "Ming Suan Ke" top, "Ming Li Ke" top, "Ce Lun" Division "A-up!"

"Top six subjects! Unique!"

"Congratulations to the Sixth Scholar!"
