Chapter 379 Ziwei Roll Call
The setting sun was like blood. The candidates had already lined up in two lines and waited in front of Ziwei Hall according to the instructions, separated by a clear cloud and dragon corridor.
Everyone is waiting to hear the final roll call for the palace examination.
Unconsciously, Liu Sheng was surrounded by everyone and stood at the front.
Yesterday I was still at the end and no one recognized me, but today it seems like everyone recognizes me.
There were all kinds of voices of praise and adoration in my ears, and I felt a little carried away for a moment.
But looking at the divine face already pressing on the eaves of Ziwei Palace, Liu Sheng suppressed all his thoughts.
My battle is not over yet.
The huge eyes looked down at the candidates from above the carved roof that was reddish by the setting sun and looked like spines of flesh and blood, looking indifferent and calm.
Some people accidentally looked up and glanced up, and immediately felt uneasy. They couldn't help but blame themselves for how they could look directly at the great existence. They almost wanted to kneel down and devote their body and mind to the Supreme God.
Liu Sheng also raised his eyes. Whether it was her misunderstanding or not, she always felt that those pupils seemed to be locked on her, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes.
......
In the Ziwei Hall, Emperor Li Zhou sat on the dragon chair, and the Queen sat on the right. Today, even the Queen Mother came and sat on the left.
Under the steps, all the officials stood in line. Chief Wen and his assistant were absent. Lord Hanshan stood at the front, followed by Ling Shangshu. In the other line, Mei Yuanzheng was at the head, followed by Li Shangshu.
Although Li Shangshu was unhappy, he knew that the time had not yet come and he still had to respect the elderly first.
But more importantly, what happened to Wen Xuanning?
You know, he has done so much recently just for today.
Wen Xuanning is the key.
As a result, no one knows where they are now. Isn’t this plan over?
Then who should he talk to to reason?
So he quietly glanced at Ling Shangshu.
I saw Ling Shangshu looking at his eyes, nose, mouth and heart, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
As if feeling Li Shangshu's gaze, he shook his head invisibly.
I don’t know what it means either.
You mean it’s okay?
Still hopeless?
While worried, I saw the eldest princess and Wen Shoufu appearing in the palace.
Although Li Shangshu looked unhappy, he could finally feel at ease.
They are fine, Wen Xuanning should be back too.
The plan remains as usual.
Indeed, Wen Xuanning was now dressed in ragged black clothes, standing quietly at the back of the team.
Seeing the black mass on the back of his head, he could not see the person he now held a grudge against at a glance.
Suddenly realizing that she should be standing at the front, Wen Xuanning's face suddenly became as dark as water.
Looking up at the face of the Supreme God pressing on the ridge of the roof, he tried hard to suppress the anger that was once again surging in his heart.
He still knows what is most important now.
"If you really knew, you wouldn't do such a thing." The old voice that was always nagging in his ears sounded again.
"You old man, are you done yet? Am I okay? I knew I would be okay."
Wen Xuanning squeezed his voice out between his teeth and whispered viciously said.
"As long as His Majesty still needs us, he needs me. Even if I take the Holy Sword to kill people on the street, nothing will happen."
"Need me to remind you that the Holy Sword has been Did the Holy One take it away?" the voice said coldly.
"When I become the number one scholar and complete that thing... the holy sword will come back."
"And who dares to say that I am not good at all?"
At this time, Wen Xuanning Rather, I felt very proud.
So what if you don’t get first place in the martial arts test?
Essay test......
He must be waiting, and Liu Sheng...
He chuckled at the corner of his mouth, waiting for the final roll call.
……
The bell rang slowly.
The auspicious time has arrived and the palace door is wide open.
The emperor opened the golden scroll in front of him, and a golden light lit up, penetrated the Ziwei Palace, and fell outside.
As a result, all the candidates saw that on the long white marble steps, a huge golden light curtain slowly unfolded like a scroll.
There is still no word on it, and auspicious clouds are floating on it, waiting for the first name to fall on it.
At the same time, the first name on the scroll in front of the emperor lit up with golden light.
The emperor glanced at the ministers, especially Wen Shoufu, Mei Yuanzheng and several others who were standing at the front. The corners of his mouth rose slightly and he said:
"The first person to be Jinshi Yijia in the ninth year of Jinghe..."
..."The first person to be Jinshi Yijia in the ninth year of Jinghe..."
The Holy One The sound added the effect of playing a musical incantation, and it spread solemnly and loudly outside Ziwei Palace.
All the candidates mentioned it one after another, especially those who ranked high in the martial arts examination.
Yu Huan, Qu Chunyan, Lin Shuying, Lu Shen, Xie Yan, Chu Shudu...
And of course Liu Sheng.
They all stopped breathing and waited.
And Wen Xuanning smiled slightly.
According to his arrangements, and the historical verification of what the voice said.
It will only be him in the end.
So he waited with satisfaction for his name to be read out.
"The first person in the first class of Jinshi in the ninth year of Jinghe..."
The emperor continued to read:
"The first person in the literary examination."
Wen Xuanning's smile did not fall, and she was even more certain that it was him.
Finally, are you going to fulfill your long-cherished wish that you have never been able to fulfill?
Then: "The first place in the martial arts test."
Wen Xuanning's smile faltered, something seemed wrong...
"Little Green Garden Liu Sheng."< br>
Finally, a name was spoken, echoing over the square and resounding throughout the palace.
Wen Xuanning couldn't help but shout loudly.
"How could it be her?"
"How could it be her?"
There was an inaudible sigh in my ears, and then there was no sound again.
Because it was too loud, the people in front turned their heads and looked at this person angrily.
I saw him with unkempt hair and blackened clothes, and I didn’t know who he was.
So he shushed him and said with disdain: "I don't know where this cat and dog came from. They don't know the rules. Your Majesty dares to make noise even when the call is being called."
Someone else said: " I don’t know how much I weigh, but I actually want to be the number one scholar?”
“Liu Zhuangyuan is a real talent, both civil and military, how can I doubt it?”
Wen Xuanning almost spat out a mouthful of blood after hearing this.
My hands and feet were numb, and I was almost going to have a stroke.
......
"Xiaolvyuan Liu Sheng."
Liu Sheng stood calmly, and then heard his name ringing, and for a moment, his ears suddenly It was buzzing, as if nothing could be heard.
The noisy voice in my head seemed to quiet down, leaving only a blank space.
Although you can’t hear it, your eyes can see it.
On the gold list, as the voice fell, a line of words appeared at the front.
[No. 1 Scholar: Liu Sheng, Xiaoluyuan]
Her results in the literary and martial arts tests are also displayed below, all of which read [first class first].
The auspicious clouds are fluttering, the Toad Palace floats above the two characters [Liu Sheng], and the sweet-scented osmanthus falls in waves.
Finally, Toad Palace won the championship.
All the eyes around him fell on Liu Sheng's back, which seemed to be out of reach.
Envy, jealousy, adoration, resentment...
Then there was a bang. After the shock, Liu Sheng's consciousness returned, and it seemed that he could hear again.
A small cheer rose in my mind, but the situation was sensitive at this time and I didn't dare to make too much noise, but I couldn't help but feel happy.
There were various discussions ringing in my ears.
"Liu Zhuangyuan, Liu Huiyuan, isn't it Liu Shuangyuan?"
"No, I heard that it is still the government's trial to explain the Yuan."
"Isn't this, Liu San? Yuan?”
Accompanied by these sounds, Liu Sheng climbed up the stairs, took out the test quotation to the officials of the Ministry of Rites for confirmation, and then followed the officials of Honglu Temple to sing:
"Please come to the palace, Liu Sheng, the number one scholar."
With echoes, Liu Sheng stepped into the Ziwei Palace step by step.
