Chapter 361 Chuanlu released the list (3)
First place in the first class...Zhu Ping'an!
The guards' loud singing for the second time woke up Ouyang Zushi, who was walking mechanically like a walking zombie, and then realized, hey, how did he get here? Why did he not even take two steps? What's going on?
"Are you Zhu Ping'an? Please come with me."
Just when Ouyang Zushi suddenly woke up, the officials of Honglu Temple who came down with the second singing sound saw four hundred One of the new Jinshi came out, and they took it for granted that the Ouyang scholar who came out was Zhu Pingan.
The reason why the officials of Honglu Temple did this was entirely in accordance with the ritual procedures. According to the procedures, the first place in the first class, which is also the number one scholar, must sing three times in a row. The officials of Honglu Temple must lead the number one scholar. Go to the left side of the royal road at the foot of the steps and kneel down to thank the emperor for his kindness.
The officials of Honglu Temple came down to lead the new champion to the royal road at the foot of the steps. Seeing "Zhu Ping'an", the new champion, was so excited that even before the second roll call was over, he was already He took the initiative to come out, and couldn't help but walk up to "Zhu Pingan" with admiration and ask, and then led "Zhu Pingan" to the imperial road to express his gratitude.
After the official from Honglu Temple finished asking, he was surprised to find that the new champion seemed to have cramps. The pale face of the new champion turned red as if he was suddenly congested. Not only that, His face still looked like it was cramped.
Some officials of Honglu Temple muttered, what happened to the new champion? Overwhelmed with joy?
"No, I...I'm not, I'm Ouyang Zishi." Ouyang Zishi's face was so red that it almost bled, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Fortunately, we only walked two steps away, and because we were at the foot of the steps outside the main hall, the big bosses in the main hall could not see it. The Honglu Temple official who was responsible for guiding outside the main hall knew that Ouyang Zishi and Yan Songyan The relationship between Mr. Ge and Ouyang Zishi was not too out of the ordinary, so he pretended not to see it when he saw it.
The censor in charge of supervision had the same mentality and pretended not to see it.
As for the new Jinshi who are waiting, they are not much better than Ouyang Zishi. Although they are not as rude as Ouyang Zishi, the surprise in their hearts is even worse. Why? It will be Zhu Pingan. He only got seven "O"s. He chose the Golden Rooster. There is no reason to win the top pick.
Everyone was shocked, but it also saved Ouyang Zishi a lot of embarrassment.
The only two exceptions were Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen. They were just surprised and then sincerely happy for Zhu Ping'an.
Zhu Ping'an was not too surprised, looking calm and composed. However, in the eyes of everyone, especially Ouyang Zishi, Zhu Ping'an was obviously pretending to be like this. What's interesting? He was obviously very excited and surprised, and he also pretended to be indifferent and dangerous. What if he wasn't pretending to be B!
"I will learn from Zhu Pingan." As soon as Ouyang Zishi finished speaking, Zhu Pingan promptly greeted the officials of Honglu Temple and relieved Ouyang Zishi's surroundings in time, drawing everyone's attention. to be attracted to.
"Ahem, um, please come with me." The officials of Honglu Temple were also a little embarrassed, coughed, and led Zhu Ping'an to the royal road.
In the envious eyes of everyone, Zhu Pingan followed the officials of Honglu Temple and walked out of the queue to the royal road.
The Royal Road, as the name suggests, is the road specially designed for the emperor to walk. This exception is only made for the number one, number two, and top pick during the imperial examination, and it is no exception at any other time.
It is the supreme honor to walk on the royal road. Ouyang Zishi looked at Zhu Ping'an's back as he stepped onto the royal road, and various emotions of envy, jealousy, and hatred came over him.
The officials of Honglu Temple led Zhu Pingan to the left side of the royal road. After walking for a while, they stopped to signal Zhu Pingan to kowtow and thank him.
"My lord, Zhu Ping'an, thanks the Lord for your kindness."
Zhu Ping'an followed the good deeds and stood on the left side of the royal road, kneeling down and bowing to express his gratitude. With Zhu Ping'an kneeling like this, a brand new disciple of the Emperor was born.
After the first-place finisher sang three times, the first-place and second-place finishers began to sing, which was repeated three times.
"Second place in the first class...Han Yupeng!"
Another official from Honglu Temple walked down the steps and led Han Yupeng out of the queue to the royal road. He walked behind Zhu Pingan and was close to the right side of the royal road. Kneel down on your side to give thanks.
Then the third person in the first class sang the list, which was repeated three times. Officials from Honglu Temple also led him out of the queue, came to the back of Zhu Pingan and Han Yupeng, and knelt down to thank him.
After listening to the ranking of the third place in the first class, Ouyang Zishi completely collapsed, his face was red and hot, I am not the number one winner, I am not the second place, and I am not the third flower! What kind of trouble is this! Thinking about the compliments received by everyone before the results were released, and looking at it now, Ouyang Zishi wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
In fact, not only Ouyang Zishi, but also Mr. Yan Song in the main hall was so surprised that he didn't even take a breath...
The singing continues, but this time the singing is only sung once, and there is no need for officials from Honglu Temple to lead the procession out of the procession and walk along the royal road. These are benefits that can only be enjoyed by the top pick, second pick, and third overall pick, and they are not yet qualified.
When he came in second place in the top two, Ouyang Zishi finally heard his name.
However, this belated roll call not only did not make Ouyang Zishi feel excited again, but also made him feel more embarrassed. He focused on the young man at the front of the royal road, his heart was churning, damn it, That's where I should be standing! mine!
After the singing was over, the Chuan Lu official once again led the three top picks, the second picks, and the top picks in the Enke Palace Examination to go forward again until they reached the steps leading to the steps from the royal road outside the hall, and then stopped. Next, wait to welcome the palace tester.
The position that Zhu Ping'an received is very special. Zhu Ping'an is at the front and in the middle, slightly ahead of the second and third overall picks. The three of them are almost in a triangle shape.
While waiting for the palace exam, Zhu Ping'an noticed that the first royal stone under his feet was different. This stone was carved with a giant turtle, with a dragon on its back. His feet happened to land on the giant turtle. On the head of the turtle; perhaps the giant turtle and the dragon's head are originally one. It was once said that the giant turtle has the head of a dragon, the body of a turtle, and the tail of a unicorn. No matter which way you say it, this sculpture is lifelike, making people feel like they are stepping on the head of a giant turtle and riding the wind and waves in the sea.
As expected, he is the top one. It is really impressive. Zhu Ping'an curled his lips.
The breeze is not cool, the sun is not dry, the breeze is blowing the sunshine, and it is shining on Zhu Pingan. At this moment, Zhu Pingan can't help but get excited. When he was a child, he herded cattle at the foot of Nanshan Mountain and in the school. Studying secretly, practicing calligraphy on a wooden board, getting up in the morning and going to bed late... one scene after another kept appearing in front of my eyes, from the mountain village to the Jinluan Palace, everything was so incredible, both unexpected and reasonable.
In front of the palace, Pingce was promoted and ranked first. Daming, here I come!
