The prince's fingertips pinched deeply into his palm, causing the flesh and blood on his hand to turn a little white.
This was a slap in the face in front of all the candidates.
People's prestige is gathered bit by bit, and the first impression is extremely important.
The prince was originally planning to give all the new Jinshi an impression during this palace examination that he, Zhao Yuanyan, kept his word. Although he was the prince, he still had control over the entire court situation. Even if Lu Yu performed very well, he could still say a word.
Scrap it.
However, his plan failed in the end.
Not only was Lu Yu unscathed, he even received Zhang Hong's personal approval!
If this matter spreads out, it will only make Lu Yu's reputation more prominent. In comparison, the prince will inevitably get the reputation of being an unknown person.
"Originally I planned to let you go and practice some, but speaking of it, you did quite well in Huangliang Dreamland. I originally planned to put you at the top of the list, and what I said before was just to encourage you. Lu Aiqing,
Don't mind it." The prince immediately changed his attitude and said with a faint smile.
Hearing what the prince said, Lu Yu said calmly: "I will naturally remember what your highness said."
Neither gratitude nor resentment was expressed.
Lu Yu was using invisible words to resist the prince.
The prince still had a smile on his face, but at this moment, he had to change his attitude.
"The imperial examination is over, and the list of new scholars will be revealed!"
Next to him, the eunuch slowly unfolded the list newly prepared by the prince, and immediately there was a list shining with golden light, displayed in front of everyone.
Except for Lu Yu, the rankings of the other candidates had already been reviewed by all the examiners and finally gathered in the hands of the prince for decision-making. Except for Lu Yu, the rankings of the other candidates did not change much.
First place, Lu Yu!
First and second place, Xu Tiangang!
First and third place, Li Si!
Among the next quotas, some people have high and low rankings. Some people have disappointed expressions on their faces after seeing their quotas. Of course, some people are overjoyed. But those who can get here have already achieved some results in their cultivation.
Level, joy and anger will not be expressed so easily.
The ranking here is based on the results of the entire literary test and martial arts test.
Li Si's literary and martial arts examinations were not top-notch, but he made bold changes in the palace examination. Through a series of measures, his state capital suddenly became the most prosperous state capital in the entire star. It even became the most prosperous state capital in the entire star.
The holy land on the star attracted countless monks to take a closer look.
Those examiners carefully watched the entire examination process of all candidates. Naturally they knew how precious Li Si's method was, so they gave Li Si a high evaluation!
What the Dayu court needs is not a super powerful master who can control all directions. It is someone who can maintain the stability and tranquility of a place through various administrative methods. This is what they need.
Li Si was originally a descendant of the Legalist School. He had practiced at Yuding Academy for many years and was already very good at administration. The so-called accumulation of knowledge was more than enough to cope with such a situation as the imperial examination.
However, although Li Si was a dark horse, everyone's eyes were still focused on Lu Yu.
This time, Lu Yu ranked first in the literary test, first in the martial arts test, and first in the palace test!
