  Chapter 360 Biography and release of the list (2)

One is full of eight "○", and the emperor rewarded him with a goldfish, which symbolizes the first place in the imperial examination; I chose the golden rooster, which has nothing to do with the imperial examination.

  In addition, Ouyang Zishi came in the sedan chair of Mr. Yan Ge

  So, in everyone's minds, it was almost decided that Ouyang Zishi was the number one scholar in this Enke Palace Examination, and most of the people gathered around Ouyang Zishi to compliment him.

  Amidst the compliments of the crowd, the drums on the gate tower of the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City were beaten by someone, and the drums rang three times, tearing the silence of the world.

  As soon as the drum sounded, the group of civil and military officials in front quickly lined up according to their ranks and positions, and waited patiently for the palace gate to open.

  Under the reminder of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Pingan and his four hundred new Jinshi also lined up in the order of the palace examination.

Zhu Pingan and Ouyang Zishi were standing at the head of the two rows. Zhu Pingan smiled and greeted Ouyang Zishi next to him. The superiority of the face is like a swan who can dance ballet looking at a fat pig who can only roll in the mud.

   At the fifth watch of the day, the bell rang, and the locked palace gate lifted its mysterious veil.

   Hundreds of civil and military officials, royal relatives and nobles lined up neatly and entered the Meridian Gate first. Zhu Ping'an and Ouyang Zishi followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites and entered the Meridian Gate.

  The city wall more than ten meters high is like a mountain. Zhu Pingan stepped into the Meridian Gate and was deeply moved by the city wall of the Forbidden City. The Meridian Gate is the main entrance of the Forbidden City. When you enter the Meridian Gate, the first thing you see is not row upon row of palaces, but an open space, just like someone’s courtyard magnified hundreds of times.

  The strong warriors lined up and stood in their respective positions, watching everyone who entered like eagle eyes, and it seemed that a little carelessness could attract knives and axes.

  Going forward, you will see the Jinshui River flowing across the Forbidden City, meandering between the Meridian Gate and the Taihe Gate. There are five bridges on the Jinshui River, all of which are made of white marble and are exquisitely carved and gorgeous. They are collectively called Jinshui Bridges.

  When they came to the Jinshui Bridge, the civil and military officials adjusted their court clothes again, adjusted their teams again, and formally prepared to enter the Jinshen Hall.

After entering the Gate of Supreme Harmony, Zhu Pingan clearly felt a sense of strictness. It seemed that the entire palace became serious. When he first entered the Meridian Gate, it was only the warriors in charge of security. At this time, the security intensity was obviously strengthened. No matter the clothes and equipment, the size or the number of guards, they are obviously stronger than others.

  In addition to the guards, the censor among the civil and military officials also began to take charge of the supervision.

  Since entering the Taihe Gate, all civil and military officials, including Zhu Pingan, these new Jinshi have been under supervision. Every move is watched by countless pairs of eyes, and any inappropriate words and deeds will be recorded and dealt with in the future.

  Brilliant palaces and mighty power were displayed in front of Zhu Pingan and other new Jinshi one by one.

   Step by step deeper, step by step shocking.

  By the time of Jinshen Hall, the new Jinshi couldn't keep their mouths shut.

  The main hall is located on the seven-meter-high white marble base. The white marble base is divided into three floors, and each floor has more than a thousand exquisitely carved dragon heads sticking out, which is shocking. The main hall is nearly 30 meters high and covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters. The dragon and golden pillars rise from the ground, and the top of the hall is like a mountain, which is overwhelming.

Because the main hall is located on the seven-meter-high white marble stone foundation, stone steps are set up to lead to the main hall. In the middle of the steps is a more spectacular imperial road stone than Xiyuan. The carvings of the Nine Dragons going out to the sea to play with the pearls are vivid and come rushing towards the face, making people short of breath.

The stone steps leading to the main hall are called "bi". The stone steps are not as tight as our stairs. There is a flat land between the stone steps and the stone steps. This flat land is called "" Chi", the stone steps are painted red symbolizing festive.

All civil and military officials stood on the red "chi", from top to bottom according to their grades. Zhu Pingan and other 400 new Jinshi were not qualified to stand on the red "chi". After all the civil and military officials, they stood under the red "chi".

  Looking at the hierarchical scene in front of me, I don't know how many new Jinshi have set their ambitions.

Because Emperor Jiajing is going to visit in person today, people outside the main hall follow the etiquette of the emperor. In the middle of the eaves of the main hall, there is a yellow umbrella cover with a nine-dragon crank. Under the eaves of the main hall, there are several teams of gorgeously dressed musicians standing still and waiting for orders. In addition, the emperor's personal guards holding ceremonial long knives, bows and arrows, and spears stand on both sides of the steps, descending step by step, majestic. , making the hall look extraordinarily majestic and grand today.

   Soon, Emperor Jiajing came in person surrounded by guards of honor.

   "Sing the whip!"

When Emperor Jiajing's guard of honor was about to approach the Jinshen Hall, an imposing guard shouted a whip, and then held a circular long whip made of yellow silk. The tip of the whip seemed to be waxed, and he swung it vigorously , and then hit the ground heavily, throwing it three times in total.

  The sound of the whip was very loud, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

   This is the legendary net whip, which is used to warn the subordinates.

   Soon Jiajing’s guard of honor arrived, and the house music played continuously. Zhu Pingan only vaguely saw the guard of honor, and could only imagine the scene of Emperor Jiajing ascending to the dragon chair in the hall.

  When the music stopped, Zhu Pingan vaguely heard some eunuchs shouting something, and then saw the civil and military officials in front of them start to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times, so they followed suit.

After three kneelings and nine kowtows, I vaguely heard an official from Honglu Temple reading the "Zhi". On March 15th, Xinhai Enke will test the tributes of the world, the first class will be awarded Jinshi and rank, the second class will be awarded Jinshi's background, and the third class will be awarded with Jinshi's background."

After the officials of Honglu Temple finished reading the "System", a young **** handed over the ranking of the emperor's list sealed in the palace examination to the cabinet bachelor. The cabinet bachelor held the emperor's list and knelt down to salute Emperor Jiajing sitting on the dragon chair , then got up and walked to a table placed on the east side of the main hall, opened the imperial list and put it down.

  Seeing this scene, the new Jinshi standing behind the civil and military officials were very excited.

  Of course, the one who was most excited was Ouyang Zishi who stood at the front. Since the reading of the "System", Ouyang Zishi looked excitedly and eagerly at the front hall.

quick

quick

   Hurry up and read the emperor's list, my legs are already unbearable, and I won the first place, I can't wait!

  Ouyang Zishi's face was flushed with excitement, his clenched fists were still shaking, his eyes were full of hot tears, his feelings were already brewing, and his acceptance speech for winning the first prize was drafted in his heart.

  Ouyang Zishi, you did it!

  Ouyang Zishi's gaze fell on the hall

  Did not disappoint Ouyang Zishi, officials from the Ministry of Rituals in the main hall walked to the table and opened the gold list. Officials from Honglu Temple stood in front of the gold list and began to sing the list, starting from the first place, that is, starting from the number one.

   "In the 30th year of Jiajing's Xinhai Enke Palace Examination, the first place in the first class...Zhu Ping'an!" The voice of Honglu Temple officials singing the list broke the silence of the hall.

   Although the voice of the Honglu Temple official was loud, it could not be heard outside the hall, but it didn't matter, he was not fighting alone.

  As soon as his voice fell, the guards on duty repeated it loudly, from the inside of the hall to the outside of the hall, every few guards would repeat it, all the way to the outermost guard at the end.

  First place...Zhu Ping'an!

Hearing the sound of singing the list, the excited Ouyang Zishi's first reaction was, um, the list is finally sung, starting from the first champion, um, I should go to the royal road in the middle to thank you, haha, this royal Only the emperor can walk the Tao, and only today's champion can. This is a great honor, so exciting.

   And then, uh, I sang it wrong, my name is Ouyang Zishi, not Zhu Pingan.

   And then, ah, what, the first place is Zhu Pingan! The first place is actually Zhu Ping'an, what's the matter, he Zhu Ping'an only got seven "O", I got eight, all "O"! Mistake, must be mistake!

   Ouyang Zishi had already taken a step in his first reaction, but in his third reaction he was still walking mechanically, with a pale face, as if his egg was torn and broken when he was walking.

When singing the list, the top three winners, the second place, and the No. 1 flower have to be announced three times in a row to express praise and difference. At this time, the sound of singing the list for the second time came again, and the guards repeated loudly wrote:

   "No. 1 in First Class...Zhu Ping'an!"
