"I'm here to see Uncle Yong!" Before Han Qi introduced him, Li Zhang stepped forward and said politely. He didn't want to reveal his identity, so he used a fake name, and the word "li" was naturally borrowed from Li'er.

When Han Qi heard that Li Zhang had concealed his identity, he immediately smiled and said, "Uncle Yong, Brother Li is a friend I met in the capital back then. Today I will accompany me to see the list."

When Ouyang Xiu heard that Li Zhang was Han Qi's friend, he smiled and bowed, "It turns out that it is Brother Li. He said that Brother Li should be from the capital. Do you know if there are any small paths nearby that can go around Donghuamen? We may not be able to squeeze through here?"

"I'm afraid that Brother Yong has disappointed me. I have very few people in the Imperial College, so I'm not familiar with the road here. And even if I bypass this section, there will probably be more people on the Donghua Gate, and I may still be unable to squeeze through it." Li Zhang smiled helplessly at this time. It was still a mile away from Donghua Gate, but it was impossible to get there. The road was covered with blocked vehicles, and pedestrians could only pass through the gaps. The streets were filled with various vendors on both sides, so they couldn't get there.

"This is a problem. When the results were released, I called my name, but I couldn't come in person. Isn't it a big regret?" Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but show an expression of distress when he heard Li Zhang's words, but his words almost made Li Zhang laugh out loud. This drunkard was really narcissistic. Before the results were released, he already thought that his name must be on the list. Unfortunately, he was going to disappoint him this time.

"It's not impossible. You guys wait, I'll call a few people!" Li Zhang smiled again at this time. After saying that, he squeezed through the crowd and came to a tea shed on the side of the road. There were several tall but erotic young people sitting inside. These people could tell at a glance that they were rogues from Tokyo.

"Fifty-months, send us to the front of Donghua Gate!" Li Zhang glanced at the rogue in the tea shed and said directly.

Only when Li Zhang said that, the rascal in charge slanted Li Zhang and said, "One hundred words, otherwise no one on this street would dare to take your job!"

Li Zhang laughed furiously when he heard this. This ruffian obviously raised the price. What does one hundred quotas mean? Ordinary people have to be busy for at least half a month to earn so much money. He just opened fifty quotas, which was already a high price. But this ruffian probably thought that Li Zhang was also in a hurry to go to Donghuamen to see the list, so he dared to ask for the price so unscrupulously. Anyway, Tokyo City is so big, they are not afraid of revenge when the other party becomes rich.

"Does Huozi know about Huiweizhai? Do you want me to ask him to recognize people?" Li Zhang glanced at the other party at this time, and then reported Huozi's name. Huozi has been in the market all year round, and he is brave and ruthless by nature, and he is not short of money. In addition, he has Li Zhang, a big backer, so Huozi is quite frugal in both black and white fields in Tokyo.

Sure enough, when he heard Li Zhang report Huo Zi's name, the slut changed his face immediately. Huo Zi lost a front teeth, so a golden gate was embedded. Everyone who knew him called him Jindao. Only a few people dared to call Huo Zi. Therefore, this slut did not dare to underestimate Li Zhang, not to mention that Li Zhang himself has extraordinary demeanor and dressed very luxuriously, and he was probably a child of an official family.

Thinking of this, the raspy head immediately smiled and said, "It turns out that you are Brother Jin's friend. You don't know Mount Tai and have hit the young master. I'll send someone to you now. As for money, there is no need!"

He said with a scoundrel and picked two of his strongest men and asked them to help Li Zhang open the way. However, Li Zhang still took out a fifty-money banknote and put it on the table and said, "Hold the money, I like the rules the most!"

Originally, when Qianxing first opened, it only issued three denominations of 500 yuan, Yisheng and Tensheng. This is mainly because Qianxing was aimed at merchants at the beginning, so the amount was relatively large. Now the moneyxing is becoming more and more popular, and ordinary people have also begun to use money in their lives. However, the smallest five hundred yuan is still too big for ordinary people, so Qianxing issued three types of moneyxing, 100 yuan, 50 yuan and 100 yuan. Now it has been circulated in the capital, and most stores accept this kind of money.

"Oh, thank you young master!" Seeing Li Zhang so generous, Rogue immediately thanked him immediately, and then smiled and took the money away. Li Zhang quickly came to Han Qi and the others with two Rogues, and then asked them to follow him. These two Rogues were strong and easily squeezed out of the crowd in front, so that Li Zhang and the others could finally move forward.

It took a full half hour to finally arrive in front of Donghua Gate. Compared to the previous crowding, it seems quite wide. Because the entire Donghua Gate has been cleared by the imperial guards, the open space opposite Donghua Gate only allows the students who participated in the imperial examination this year to enter, and the others can only stay outside. This is also the main reason why the road is blocked. After all, there are crowds of people watching the fun. In this way, let alone cars, even people can't get through.

Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu and others both had their own documents. Li Zhang originally thought he could not get in, but he didn't expect that the imperial guards were very relaxed when checking their identities. Seeing Han Qi and his group of more than a dozen scholars coming together, he only looked at the first two, and let them in the back, and Li Zhang was able to get away with it.

After entering, everyone was surrounded by nervous or excited candidates. Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and others who Li Zhang had seen before were very young, but when he came here, he found that more than half of these candidates were gray-haired, and some even had a hunched back. The Song Dynasty stipulated that officials must retire after being over 70 years old, that is, retirement. Even if these old candidates passed the Jinshi exam, they probably wouldn't be able to become officials for a few years.

Li Zhang and the others waited for about half an hour, and finally saw a man in an official uniform appearing on the city gate. Li Zhang looked familiar. In fact, Li Zhang didn't know much about the officials in the court. At most, he had seen a few times and had some impression of him. This was mainly because he didn't go to court very much, and Liu E also allowed him not to go to court. Anyway, he could go to the palace directly if he had anything to do.

The man on the city gate looked at the pick below with majestic face, then he opened the imperial list with a refreshing cough, and then read it loudly. The first few sentences were nothing more than praising Emperor Zhao Zhen, and praised the empress dowager's wiseness, and then he began to get to the point and read out the list of Jinshi.

"He Jin, the son of Kaifeng Prefecture; Sun Qing, the son of Yingtian Prefecture..." As the names of new Jinshi were read out, cheers burst out from behind. And every time a name was read, a banner was hanging on the city wall, with information such as the name of Jinshi, hometown, etc., so that even if there is a duplicate name, it will not be confused.

"Xianzhou scholar Han Qi!" As soon as he read seven or eight names, Han Qi's name appeared. Although Han Qi had already known from Li Zhang that he must be on the list, he still couldn't help but shout, and Ouyang Xiu and others next to him also congratulated him, but these people also showed a bit of anxiety on their faces. After all, they had not heard their names yet.

Just after Han Qi, Li Zhang soon heard Bao Zheng's name again. When this name appeared, a cheer broke out not far from his left hand. Li Zhang also looked at him and saw a serious young man standing in the crowd. His skin was not only not dark, but also very fair and handsome, which was completely different from the legendary Bao Zheng's image.

However, compared to the cheers of others when they were promoted to the Jinshi, Bao Zheng seemed very restrained. However, the people around him shouted to congratulate him, and Bao Zheng also returned the favor one by one. However, Li Zhang could see from his slightly trembling arms that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

Just as Li Zhang looked at Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng also noticed it. After all, people have their own sixth sense. If someone keeps staring at you, even if you turn your back to the other person, you can sometimes notice the gaze behind you. Bao Zheng suddenly turned his head and immediately saw Li Zhang who was looking at him.

Li Zhang was also wearing a long gown at this time, and he was handsome and had a very extraordinary demeanor, so Bao Zheng also smiled at him with kindness, and Li Zhang nodded gently to return the gift. This was the first time the two of them had met.

The reading of the list of Jinshi still continued, but the number of people has been read, and the number of Jinshi recruited is generally less than 100. Even the most time is only more than 200. It was because there were too many vacancies in the Taizu period, so the number of people hired was increased. Now the officialdom has long been saturated, so the number of people hired each time is much smaller.

Most of the list has been announced. The people on the list are full of joy, while the remaining people are either anxious, despair, or with the last glimmer of hope in despair. It can be said that all kinds of life are on the faces of these people, and Li Zhang finally realized the madness of Fan Jin when he passed the imperial examination in the later generations.

In fact, let alone farewell, even the famous Ouyang Xiu, who was later famous, was not immune to the vulgarity at this time. At the beginning, the expression on his face was quite relaxed, but when Han Qi's name appeared, a hint of solemnity appeared on his face. When the list was halfway through, a little loss was slowly revealed on his face, but he did not completely give up hope. However, when the officials at the city gate pronounced the name of the last Jinshi and closed the imperial list, Ouyang Xiu finally showed a look of despair on his face.

When Han Qi looked at the expressions of Ouyang Xiu and other people who failed the exam, he didn't know what to say. After all, no matter what he said, there was something wrong with him. In the end, Ouyang Xiu was very free and easy. He was the first to speak out and said: "If you don't get the first place this year, don't be discouraged. You'll fight again next year!"

Ouyang Xiu's words finally awakened the people around him, and Han Qi and the other people who passed the imperial examination also breathed a sigh of relief, and then encouraged each other for a few more words before they were ready to leave together.

But at this moment, a group of people rushed in and grabbed the young master. Li Zhang suddenly remembered that this should be the legendary "catching son-in-law under the list". However, before he could react, he suddenly saw a group of big-sleeved servants pounced straight towards him.
