The strongest boss in the sky

Chapter 34 The ranking is over, Yujie praises the officials!
Two days later, before the sun rose and there was only some whiteness in the sky, Lin Nuo and others, led by officials from the Ministry of Rituals, came to the huge, majestic and magnificent Forbidden City again.

When he came to the Forbidden City for the first time, Lin Nuo didn't carefully look at the surrounding environment of the Forbidden City because he was thinking about the imperial examination, but this time, he was very relaxed, and his eyes focused on the crimson palace walls and golden yellow walls. on the glazed tiles.

After a while, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

On the crimson Gong Qiang, there was actually a lot of cinnabar smeared on it.

Cinnabar was widely used in ancient times, and because of its deep red and festive color, it was rumored to have the effect of warding off evil spirits, so it was often used by the rich and powerful as a coating for house construction.

Today's Forbidden City was built after Zhu Di moved his capital to Beijing, and used a lot of cinnabar as paint on the palace walls and floor tiles.

You must know that cinnabar contains a lot of mercury. In Lin Nuo's view, the Forbidden City in front of you is a large chronic gas chamber. Staying in this palace for many years will cause chronic heavy metal poisoning.

Most emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not live long and often fell ill. In addition to the conspiracy of civil officials and others, in Lin Nuo's view, it was also related to chronic heavy metal poisoning caused by long-term stay in the Forbidden City.

"It's no wonder that the emperors of the later generations of the Qing Dynasty mostly worked in the Old Summer Palace, and rarely stayed in the Forbidden City. There are also reasons for this!"

Lin Nuo secretly figured in his heart that after Hongzhi, Emperor Zhengde forcibly moved out of the Forbidden City despite the objections of his officials, and built a leopard room outside the city to live in. Apart from not wanting to see those annoying civil servants all day long, he probably had to stay in the Forbidden City. Uncomfortable reason?

Passing through the palace avenue paved with white marble, Lin Nuo and other [-] new Jinshi were full of excitement, and once again came to the outside of the Golden Luan Hall.

At this time, the two sides of the main hall were already full of royal ministers, civil and military officials in red court clothes. Today is a happy day, even officials who usually dislike each other nod and smile at each other to maintain the superficial harmony.

At this time, Lin Nuo, like other Xinke Jinshi, wore a black gauze Jinshi scarf on his head, a dark blue wide-sleeved robe with a green edge, a blue leather belt decorated with black horns around his waist, and a locust wood wat board in his hand. In the crowd, they didn't chat with other people, but kept mobilizing the internal force of the nine suns, making the internal force travel to various parts of the body, and dispelling the cinnabar smell around them.

Lin Nuo didn't care too much about his ranking, as long as he had a Jinshi degree, of course, if he could enter the top three of the first class, that would be even better.

"All tribute students, listen to the announcement."

At this time, Li Dongyang, the first assistant with white beard and hair, came to a group of new scholars, unfolded a beautiful yellow book, and then began to read: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial examination of the Renxu Division in the 15th year of Hongzhi is over, and it is up to your majesty To test the tributes of the world, I will award first-class Jinshi and No.3, 110 second-class Jinshis, and 280 nine third-class Jinshis."

After reading this, Li Dongyang's voice paused slightly. After taking a deep breath, he continued to read: "Yijia No.1, Kang Hai!"

"Yijia No.2, Xu Wei!"

"No.3 in Yijia, Lin Nuo!"

The top three were selected, and immediately several officials from the Ministry of Rituals stepped forward, walked carefully to Lin Nuo and the other three, and led them towards the Golden Luan Hall.

In the Golden Luan Hall, Emperor Hongzhi had already been sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the three of Lin Nuo with a smile on his face, especially Lin Nuo, who was given a few more glances by him, as if admiring the beautiful jade from a fertile field.

Immediately afterwards, the 110 Jinshi of the second class were also led into the Golden Luan Hall by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and then a group of Jinshi solemnly thanked Emperor Hongzhi in accordance with the etiquette taught by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

As for the top three Jinshi, they are not eligible to enter the Jinluan Hall, and only need to kneel outside the hall to thank the emperor for his kindness.

After some salutes, amidst the sound of playing music, the emperor encouraged the new Jinshi, and then returned to the palace under the service of the eunuchs and maids.

After the emperor left, the Ministry of Rituals brought out the gold list. This list will be hung outside the Meridian Gate for three days. At that time, everyone in the capital can go to see the list.

"The top three should go to the side hall to change clothes, and we will be 'Praise the Officials' later!" After the emperor left, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others would naturally preside over the rest. One of the great scholars came to Lin Nuo The three of them walked up to them and said with a smile.

Lin Nuo nodded. He knew that for the scholars, the following plot would be the happiest day in their lives.

The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day!

However, for Lin Nuo, this was not a very good experience. Lin Nuo felt quite satisfied after changing the Jinshi uniform to an official uniform with a round collar, but when the maid inserted a flower on each side After the big red flower's black gauze hat was put on his head, he became a little unhappy.

"I'm a Jinshi of Xinke, not a groom official, so I don't need flowers on my head, do I?"

"Tanhualang was joking. Today is a day of great joy. It is more important than being a bridegroom. You can't make things difficult for us!" No one was dissatisfied and messed up the event.

Lin Nuo had no choice but to let the maids put on the black hat for him, and then left the side hall.

When he walked out of the side hall, it happened that the number one scholar Lang Kanghai also came out with a flower arrangement on his head. The other party looked like he was 30 years old. After seeing Lin Nuo's attire, he couldn't help winking and smiling at him, as if he thought Lin Nuo It's funny to dress up.

"Haha, our eldest brother don't laugh at the second brother, you must know that the other Jinshi are very envious of this flower-arranged hat!" Xu Wei also came out at this time, and greeted Lin Nuo and his face with joy.

Now the three of them have changed into court clothes, not to mention, if there were no flowers on their heads, they would really look like high-ranking court officials, especially the number one scholar Lang Kanghai, with good features, thick eyebrows and a square face, a standard official look Face.

Lin Nuo speculated in his heart that Hongzhi's selection of this person as the number one scholar might have something to do with the other person's appearance, right?
The next thing is to praise the official in Yujie.

After Lin Nuo and the others changed their clothes, the three academicians personally sent them outside the Meridian Gate. There, the Minister of Rites had been waiting for a long time, leading the top three, and swaggered out towards the main gate of Chengtian Gate.

Behind the three of them, a group of Jinshi followed the official road on the left. Only the emperor and the top three in this palace examination can walk the imperial road in the center. Others are not qualified to walk.

Of course, even the top three Jinshi can only go this time in this life, and if there are no accidents in the future, basically there will be no chance.
