Although Shi Yucheng did not participate, as the chief examiner, he could not escape the blame. Now, he was not even allowed to serve as the right minister, but was directly demoted to Nanhua Prefecture as the prefect.

The magistrate is no more than fifth grade, and this demotion is more than three levels.

The other examiners were also demoted, which could be regarded as bad luck because of Yang Xuanwu's selfishness.

Also involved in this imperial examination fraud case was an unexpected person.

Xia Yuxuan of Liyanghou Mansion.

Xia Yuxuan was obsessed with ranking on the golden list in the imperial examination and obtaining the position of heir apparent.

When he learned that Yang Chengtian had examination questions in his hands, he spent a lot of thought and even sent two beauties as gifts, and got the examination questions as he wished.But he was much bolder.Among the students who came to Beijing this time were many students from poor families. One of them, Wu Jiangzhou, a student from Qingzhou, had lived in poverty for ten years and was quite talented.

Xia Yuxuan imprisoned this man and forced him to write three essays on strategies in the examination questions, and he chose the best one.

As for Wu Jiangzhou himself, Xia Yuxuan was not ready to let him go.

After I finish high school, I will find a way to deal with it.

However, there was nothing missing in Taifu Ye's thunderous methods.Once it was found out that Xia Yuxuan bought exam questions and that he was a private prisoner, he was extremely bold.

Wu Jiangzhou was rescued, but Xia Yuxuan, even if he was the young master of Liyanghou Mansion, committed such a thing, he happened to hit the wind. Concubine Qing's eyes were red from crying, and Liyanghou knelt in Qinzheng Hall for half an hour. Can save his life.

After experiencing the death of her younger brother, Mrs. Qi also experienced the death of the son she loved most and had the most hopes for, and her whole body became haggard.

If she knew about Wu Jiangzhou and Chu Nanning's power in Xicheng reported it to her, and she told Taifu Ye, she would probably fight Chu Nanning to the death.

There were three imperial examinations, each lasting three days. They were stopped midway due to fraud and were restarted a month later.

After experiencing the bloodshed in the vegetable market and the re-opening of the imperial examination, all the examinees no longer dared to have any thoughts of being evil. In this talent selection, those selected are definitely those with real talents and practical knowledge.

In the joint examination, a total of 110 nine tribute scholars were admitted.

Huiyuan was captured by Yan Ling, a student from Jizhou, who was also Jieyuan in the Jizhou Township Examination.

In the palace examination one month later, Emperor Qi Sheng was so happy after reading his test paper that he selected him as the number one scholar.

But the most surprising thing is not the No. 3 pick, but No. [-] Tan Hua Lang.

Just because this Tanhualang was actually Xia Chixiao, the second-rank Zhenbei general in the court.

Who would have thought that he would end up taking the imperial examination despite being an official for a long time?Moreover, he ranked fourth in the general examination, and was directly selected as the third best in the palace examination?
Kong Chang'an, who was the last one and almost lost his name to Sun Shan, was deeply dissatisfied when he saw Xia Chixiao appearing in the palace examination room. He had never seen Xia Chixiao in the capital examination. How could he, a martial artist, directly take the palace examination?
Of course, Xia Chixiao did not directly take the palace examination. Shortly after returning to Beijing, he took the children's examination in Linzhou. He formally passed the county examination, the government examination, and the college examination, and obtained the status of a scholar. This was also approved by Emperor Qi Sheng.

Marquis Liyang and his wife's concern for Liyanghou is limited. All they care about is a son with military merit. As for what he is thinking and what he wants to do, they don't care. As long as he is from Liyanghou Mansion, as long as he can do it in the future. Just provide support to the Liyang Hou Mansion.

Later, when he was going to suppress bandits, he asked the emperor to issue an order to allow him to take the provincial examination on the spot.

He took the provincial examination in the northern border, and he was still Jieyuan.

The reason why Emperor Qi Sheng suppressed the idea of ​​naming Xia Yuxuan as his heir apparent was because the list of sons from Beidi was presented. Emperor Qi Sheng saw that Xia Chixiao was at the top of the list and felt that Marquis Liyang could not figure it out.

However, even Qisheng Emperor did not expect that Xia Chixiao could achieve such results in the imperial examination.

He thought that the Northern Territory had experienced war, and the talents of the Northern Territory were uneven, so Xia Chixiao could become a blockbuster.Now it seems that Xia Chixiao is versatile in both civil and military affairs.

Emperor Qi Sheng was very happy. Xia Chixiao wanted to hand over his military power and take the path of civil service.

There will be one more minister of humerus in the court.

After the results of the palace examination were released, it was passed to the Golden Palace, and the Holy Emperor was prayed to have this ceremony set up in the Golden Palace.

At Chen hour, 110 nine tributes, dressed in official uniforms and wearing crowns with three branches and nine leaves, stood respectfully in front of the Duanyang Gate to listen to the calls. The calls were by order. This ceremony was called Luxing.

The Jinshi scholars who reached their rank after singing the song entered the palace, lined up on the left and right together with the princes and officials, and stood attentively to listen to the announcement of the names and ranks of the Jinshi scholars.

The Holy Emperor will summon them one by one and award them the rank of Jinshi according to their ranking. They are born in the same Jinshi family.

This time, the entire Jinluan Hall was not only filled with princes, nobles, noble courtiers, but also more than 100 tributes.

Qi Sheng Emperor's eyes fell on the new champion.

The No. [-] scholar was not very old, he looked to be in his twenties. He was tall and tall, with firm eyebrows. He was different from the noble sons in the capital, but he had a bearing of his own.With the character of a poor student and the nobility of an elegant scholar in Fenglin, it seems to be particularly pleasing to the eye.

Qi Sheng Emperor made a rare joke: "All the beauties in the past generations are handsome men, and the beauties who are the number one undergraduates all have their own merits!"

When the ministers saw it, it was true.

The two are about the same age, but both are very handsome men.

The number one scholar is elegant, modest and graceful; Tanhua is heroic and restrained, and a gentleman is like jade.

The emperor glanced at Marquis Liyang in the crowd and directly called his name: "Xia Aiqing, the home of Liyanghou Mansion, a military general, changed his career to become a scholar for only a few decades, but now he has a talent for exploring flowers, are you happy?"

Marquis Liyang came out: "I am happy!"

His son Xia Yuxuan, whom he loved and cherished, could not save his life even with the honor of the family and the intercession of Concubine Qing in the palace.But this eldest son, who was undisciplined and out of control, was so outstanding.

His beloved son's body was still cold and he was beheaded in that way. How could he feel happy?
The emperor was in a very good mood when he looked at the Jinshi scholars of this year, especially the number one scholar was a student from a poor family.

"In the past 14 years, this is the first No. [-] scholar in our dynasty who has passed three yuan!" He said in a gentle tone, "The No. [-] scholar came forward and answered!"

The gentle and elegant man stepped forward to salute. He was tall and tall, and he was really outstanding with his No. [-] scholar's attire.

"Ai Qing's surname is Yan? I remember that there used to be a rich family named Yan in Guichen County, Jizhou, and there were many talented people. Later, the family fell into decline and gradually disappeared from the crowd. Is Yanqing a descendant of the Yan family in Guichen County?"

The number one scholar, Yan Ling, took a step forward, knelt down and saluted.

The emperor's eyes darkened.

In the Eastern Xia court, although there was a distinction between the emperor and his ministers, they usually knelt down and bowed without any interest in saluting. They just bowed their hands and bowed as a courtesy. Now when passing the throne, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony.

Something is bound to happen if something goes wrong!

Yan Ling kowtowed, stood up again, and straightened his back: "I, Yan Ling, was originally from the capital. When I was young, my stepmother gave birth to a younger brother. She thought I was blocking the road, so she collaborated with outsiders to kidnap and traffic me, and I lived in Jizhou. I always remember my identity and work hard. Read just to return to the capital!" (End of this chapter)
