To say that the sixth prince's information was indeed well-informed, the Gongyuan had just been unsealed and he had not even had time to post the second ranking list. He had already received the news far away in Shenjing.

Because at the same time, there are not only Dingzhou, but also 47 other prefectures. Basically, the rankings are based on the two-day outing test.

Regardless of whether the princes and princes hope to inherit the throne or not, it does not hinder their search for talents.

If you are lucky enough to become the 95th Supreme, the talent team you are looking for now can quickly rise to the top, and there will be no waste of manpower and material resources if you fail.

Because they may be enfeoffed to surrounding remote areas to create vassal states, this process certainly requires a lot of talent.

Looking at the world, why are there hundreds of countries besides the central dynasty of Daxu?

Everything is due to the tradition left by the Central Dynasty of Humanity since ancient times, which established the system of enfeoffment and founding of the country.

The emperor would entrust his sons to ministers and go to the surrounding remote places to establish a country.

In this way, not only can fratricide be avoided, but also the enfeoffed sons can take away a large number of restless powerful men, thus easing social conflicts and extending the life of the dynasty.

In addition, like the more famous Prairie Kingdom of Jin today, its mother country also unified the Central Plains in history and was a central dynasty recorded in the annals of history.

Later, after the demise of the Jin Dynasty, a bloodline that was entrusted to the grassland by the ancestors of the Jin Dynasty rose up. The King of Jin returned to the ancestral temple and was able to continue to pass on the national tradition in the grassland.

Looking at it this way, this is also the inheritance secret of the royal family of a generation. The more enfeoffments there are, the less likely it is that the ancestral temple and the country will be cut off.

Of course, today, with the expansion and enfeoffment of the central dynasty, there are fewer and fewer suitable lands in the surrounding areas.

A large number of princes and princes could only go to wild and remote places to found a country, which made it much more difficult to establish a country. In recent years, only a handful of people have succeeded.

Moreover, these direct vassal states were often unable to defend the center of Daxu due to distance, and could not play the role of shielding the vassal.

The high city of Shenjing is filled with pavilions and pavilions. Dry clouds rise from all directions, reaching up to the heaven.

Although the sixth prince has not yet been officially crowned king, he has been granted permission to open a palace and build a palace.

In the early morning of August 26th, he was woken up early by his subordinates because this was his order. In the past two days, if there was any news about the B-list from each state, he must be notified as soon as possible.

It would be a big taboo for a candidate from the first list to intervene, but it would be just right for someone from the second list to be promoted.

In the secret room, there are three rows of nearly twenty communication arrays, each of which is shining with light. There is a full-time Taoist priest in charge of each communication array.

"I can't capture other states. The news from these more than 20 states can't be slower than a few brothers, right?" The sixth prince said in a faint tone. Looking at this orderly intelligence system, he actually felt a little disappointed.

contented.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, as soon as the second list of the provincial examination is released, our people will recruit new candidates for the imperial examination according to the list."

At this moment, the communication array representing Dingzhou emitted a strong light, indicating that a large amount of information was transmitted.

After a while, a second-level Taoist priest held a jade slip and reported loudly: "Your Highness, here is the list of the B-ranking people in Dingzhou in the northern border, Xie Yuan Zhou Bai, Ya Yuan Yu Song..."

"Ping Cang Zhou Bai? That boy who was against the Zhao family?" The sixth prince came into contact with many people and things every day, but he was very impressed by Ping Cang, who was living on the border.

"It's an honor for His Highness to remember him." Someone next to him immediately said with a smile.

"He is a talented person. It would be a pity to kill the monster. I sent someone to recruit him with favorable conditions. If he is willing to join me, the Zhao family will let him do whatever he wants. From now on, the local power will be changed to support the Pingcang Zhou family." In a few words, the Zhao family said

He was given away as a bargaining chip, which shows the royal nature's indifference.

"Your Highness, the resources you have spent on building a talent team have far exceeded those of our predecessors in history." At this time, a counselor with an obviously high status reminded him.

"Sir, are you worried that I don't have enough capital to build the country? Alas, there are some things I can't say clearly. This time, I don't think we brothers will be able to go abroad to seal the country. In the future, we may just live in these forty-eight states..."

In Dingzhou City, news of the lifting of martial law in Gongyuan has spread throughout the city.

Whether they are candidates or scholars who have been waiting for the rankings for a long time, or they are just mediocre people, everyone knows one thing, that is, the rankings are about to be released!

Zhou Bai didn't stay at home either. Early in the morning, he was invited out by various friends of the same age. Yu Ji had also adjusted his mentality and gathered around Zhou Bai with Ma Liang, not far from Zhou Yamen. In the restaurant where I was bragging and spanking.

Some knew that they would not pass the exam, so they were just joining in the fun, while others used drinks to suppress their inner anxiety. Everyone had different attitudes, but in short, no one could calm down before the appointment.

At this time, the early autumn morning breeze, which was already obviously cool, blew leisurely, bringing with it the fragrance of osmanthus.

"Restaurant, you don't have osmanthus wine here? Don't you know that drinking osmanthus wine while waiting for the laurel list is the most elegant thing in the world!" Someone immediately muttered.

"Everyone, it's too early, too early. The fragrance of osmanthus in October is the real fragrance!"

"Guibang Guibang, it's good to get a good omen. If there are new imperial examination candidates in our restaurant today, everyone will be free!"

"Hahaha, then boss, you are definitely at a loss. Our brother Zhou is recognized as a scholar with the same talent as Jinshi. Can't you just pick someone up at your fingertips?"

The scholars present suddenly burst out in good-natured laughter, and Zhou Bai, who was sitting quietly on the side, smiled and said nothing. Before the list was released, no matter how modest his words were, he would be hated by those who cared.

After a long time, the faint morning fog completely disappeared, the sun rose high, and as usual, it was time to release the results.

"Don't you go to Gongyuan and wait for the announcement of the results?"

"I won't go, I won't go. If I win, of course someone will come to visit me."

"It's just that there are too many people and I'm too lazy to squeeze in."

…

"Dong dong dong~"

Sure enough, within a moment, the festive sound of gongs and drums could be heard on the street here.

The yamen's officers were dispatched en masse. They were divided into multiple teams and looked for targets according to the names on the list. There was no need to worry about not being able to find or find the wrong ones for these local snakes.

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen Qi Chen, who is ranked 21st on the high school honors list."

"Congratulations to Mr. Li Yi, who is ranked thirteenth on the high school championship list."

"Congratulations to Mr. Cheng Huang for being awarded the 41st honorary title in high school..."

"I won, I won!" With the loud congratulations of the guards, the restaurant was plunged into a sea of ​​joy.

No one expected that there would be good news one after another in a restaurant, but this was not over yet, and soon a team of good news that was obviously larger and more solemn came again.

"It must be Zhou Bai's good news!" Ma Liang shouted with a strange confidence.

This is also true. This group of officers, dressed in festive red clothes, each holding the official uniform, official seal, and documents, walked straight to Zhou Bai.

The leader of the messenger was the first to bow and kneel down, and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhou Baizhou, for being the first in the high school ranking list, and for taking the position of Dingzhou Jieyuan in the 46th year of Zhongxiangxing!" www.81zw.?? m

"Okay, there will be a reward!" Zhou Bai couldn't calm down at this time. This was an achievement that he had never achieved in his previous life.

He quickly took out a bag of copper coins that had been prepared from his arms and threw them outside. He also took out a few pieces of broken silver and distributed them to several officers.

"Master Zhou, please put on your official uniform and ride on horseback to parade through the streets. This is your honor as Duke Yuan."

Under the attentive service of the guards, Zhou Bai put on a civil service uniform that was no different from an official uniform, and tied a half-sized copper seal around his waist.

The whole set of clothing includes three parts: crown, robe and belt.

The official crown is crowned with an engraved silver base, and a gold bird is in the crown. The official robe is made of green silk with blue edges, and the collar is like a robe.

From now on, even if Zhou Bai does not hold an official position, he can still enjoy the privileges of a ninth-grade official. This is a Jin Juren, completely transcending social classes.

Zhou Bai was riding on a tall horse, followed by two neat teams of soldiers. His eyes were full of envy and admiration from the scholars, and all he could hear were the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd.

It's so glorious, so uncomfortable.

But what Zhou Bai obviously values ​​​​is not these, but the reputation and influence that Jieyuan's title brings to him. In the future, he will no longer be an unknown person even in the entire Dingzhou.

The overwhelming luck is like a heat wave, chasing Zhou Bai. In the next period of time, everything he wants to do will be unfavorable.
