However, just when Song Mu was admiring the magnificent scenery around him, he heard a familiar voice. He turned around and saw several people walking towards him.
It was the people he had met at Tan House who all walked up to Song Mu and held their hands.
"Song Jieyuan, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have become even more handsome."
Teng Shaojie among them immediately stepped forward and said to Song Mu with a smile. Tan Weiyi next to him also said with a smile.
"Song Jieyuan happens to be here. I was arguing with him just now, so I just asked Brother Song to clear up my confusion."
Song Mu bowed his hands to several people. Hearing such words, he looked at each other with a puzzled expression. At that moment, Tan Wei explained.
"The rankings will be released in just half an hour. A few of us were just arguing about who would be number one in this test."
"I said you can also argue, but the four of us have different opinions."
Tan Wei said this immediately, and Liu Kaidong standing next to him also looked surprised. Although he knew that Tan Weiyi was the son of the prime minister, he did not expect that the other party was so optimistic about Song Mu.
Song Mu was calm at the moment and just asked the other party.
"Oh? But I don't know what is the reason that makes Brother Tan think that I can become the first in this competition?"
Tan Wei explained it immediately, and the reason was similar to what Song Mu had heard in the past few days. Song Mu also gave up his hand, saying that he did not dare to rely on others.
Then Zhuang Hongyuan from Fuzhou came forward and spoke to Song Mu.
"Brother Song, it doesn't have to be like this. It is inevitable that you will be at the top this time. After all, I think almost no one can achieve the three visions in this test."
"No, if I were to tell you, then Xiao Renlin from Jizhou and Li Chi from Bashu could have done it, and their strength should not be underestimated."
"I have had some exchanges with Li Chi in the past few days. Although he has no blood relationship with the Li Poetry Sect, he is also a target of recruitment. After passing the examination and the imperial examination, he may directly become a member of the Li Poetry Sect.
Zong."
Then Teng Shaojie said this immediately and gestured towards the field.
"That one also has a handsome appearance. The articles he wrote for the college and rural examinations were heard to have inspired Li Bai's poems, so he is very valued."
"There is also Kuang Guangchao over there. He was born in a poor family, but he succeeded Jizhou Jieyuan in one fell swoop. He is also a very good person."
As Teng Shaojie said this, Tan Weiyi next to him laughed.
"That's true if you want to say so, but let's face it, Li Chi is both talented and beautiful. In Chang'an, it is often said that he will definitely win the top prize, but there is no need to threaten Brother Song like this."
Tan Wei immediately smiled to smooth things over, Teng Shaojie just smiled, and Song Mu didn't take it to heart.
But at that moment, Wang Yu, who was standing silently beside him, suddenly let out a soft sigh, walked forward and looked at Song Mu, frowning slightly,
"Brother Song, why do I see your level now, but you don't look like a fellow Jinshi?"
Wang Yu's words were shocking, and everyone immediately looked back. Wang Yu also explained something to Song Mu.
"I accidentally learned a mental method, which shows that the literary power is very strong. I always feel that Song Jieyuan's literary power is much higher than that of his fellow Jinshi scholars."
With that said, Tan Wei and others raised their brows, walked up to Song Mu, looked at him, and then asked in confusion.
"Brother Song, is this really the case?"
Song Mu smiled and nodded slightly.
"I'm lucky, it seems that my level has improved slightly."
Song Mu did not dare to directly publicize it. After all, breaking away from Tianxing would lead to a Jinshi degree. It was simply shocking to say such things, and Song Mu was afraid of causing trouble for himself.
Several people were amazed at the moment, feeling that Song Mu was indeed extraordinary. Only Wang Yu hesitated to speak. As a disciple of the Shizong, he could feel that Song Mu was extraordinary.
It's just that a few people didn't delve into it, and they were talking about the trial at the moment.
While a few people were talking, a lot of people had gradually gathered in the square, and there was also movement in front of the Gongyuan.
Seeing that the time for releasing the results was coming soon, everyone stood still in the middle of the scene and looked ahead nervously.
Here, students who have reached the level and students who have not yet reached the level have completely different mentality. Those who have reached the level only hope that their ranking will be higher, so that when the time comes for the palace examination, they can also be higher.
Those who have not yet reached the level hope that they will be qualified to be a Gongyuan, so that after three years, they may be able to achieve a literary degree.
Finally, it was past midnight, and the sun was now hanging high over Kong Zong. The square in front of the north gate of Gongyuan was crowded with people, and the gate of Gongyuan was finally slowly pushed open.
"The gate of Gongyuan is open!"
I don’t know who said this first. At that moment, everyone stretched their necks and looked forward. The students in the field even tensed up, and some even exhaled nervously at this moment.
After all, after the roll call, I will be a fellow Jinshi scholar in this literary dynasty.
This life from now on will be even more splendid.
Song Mu also stood among them, looking forward.
In front of the Gongyuan, a group of Gongyuan officials in red robes filed out, with a look of fatigue on their faces at this moment.
Yan Fu was walking at the back, looking a little tired at the moment, but still striding forward with long strides.
And as they walked out of the Gongyuan and looked around, the atmosphere in the venue was suddenly aroused. Countless people cheered, and the entire street was plunged into a sea of cheers.
The common people are also happy to hear about the announcement of the examination results. They especially want to see who will be the first in the examination in this special year.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites had already arrived at the scene. Yan Fu immediately stepped forward and handed the scroll in his hand to the other party.
The scene finally became quiet. Yan Fu took a step forward and stood in front of the gate of Gongyuan. He glanced around, his eyes lingered on the people in the audience for a moment, and then he said in a deep voice.
"Everyone! Fortunately, God's grace is so great that the Bingxu Examination was successfully completed. A total of 5,467 candidates took the exam. During this period, everything went smoothly, visions occurred one after another, and the sacred book was interpreted as holy. This is called eternal auspiciousness.
"
"After reading the papers in the past few days, I can see that the scholars of our literary dynasty have reached a higher level and will reach higher levels in the future to contribute to the literary dynasty. I am here to thank all the students for their diligent study and hard work!"
Yan Fu straightened his back and shouted loudly at the people below!
"Bingxu subject examination, results released!"
"God bless the great scholar, the most holy man of Confucianism and Taoism!"
Countless disciples and common people stood up and shouted, and their voices resounded through the clear sky.
The next moment, officials from the Ministry of Rites came forward and held the golden scroll in their hands high. When the students in the audience saw this scroll, they couldn't help but be extremely excited.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the scroll in each other's hands.
Countless students hope that their names can be on that scroll and appear higher in it.
The official of the Ministry of Rites solemnly unfolded the scroll, then used his writing skills and shouted loudly.
"The 497th place in the Bingxu Examination, Cui Zihe, Lin'an Prefecture, Jiangnan East Road, will leave his name in history and shine through the ages!"
As soon as a name was sold, there was a clerk next to the red list with a brush stained with silver ink and writing a name at the bottom of the red list.
The silver light looks very dazzling under the sunlight.
And everyone in the venue was even more uproar and shocked at this moment.
Because this time, more than 5,000 candidates participated in the examination, and a full one-tenth of them became Dajing!
This is already an auspicious occasion.
The crowd burst into cheers, and everyone had a look of surprise on their faces.
The official's voice was still loud and clear, and he was clearly announcing the names one by one.
"The 372nd placer in the Bingxu Examination, Chang'an Teng Shaojie. His name will remain in history and shine through the ages!"
As the words fell, congratulations immediately sounded out, and Song Mu also raised his hand to Teng Shaojie next to him.
After all, this is an accomplished scholar, and everyone congratulates each other a lot.
The person who read the name immediately sighed and bowed his hands to the people around him with a humble face. However, for those students who had reached the stage but had not yet read the name, their expressions became more and more joyful at this moment.
After all, as long as you reach the realm, you will definitely be on the red list. What is determined by the red list is actually more about the level of a person's writing.
The higher the ranking, the more accomplished one is.
Soon, the rankings went down one by one, and there were more names on the red list. At the same time, there were copied red answer sheets posted on the surrounding wooden fences.
"Tenth place in the Bingxu Examination, Tan Weiyi from Ande Prefecture, Shandong Province!"
As time went by, the tenth placer in the examination had also come out, and it turned out to be Tan Weiyi. This time, Tan Weiyi also looked happy and extended his hands to those around him.
"The seventh place in the Bingxu Science Examination, Liu Kaidong from Xunyang Prefecture, Jiangnan West Road! His name will remain in history and shine through the ages!"
"The sixth place in the Bingxu Science Examination, Hongyuan Fuzhuang, Fuzhou, Fujian! His name will remain in history and shine through the ages!"
The rankings of Liu Kaidong and Zhuang Hongyuan have also come out. Zhuang Hongyuan is very contented at the moment and seems to be quite satisfied with the ranking. However, Liu Kaidong is very excited and seems to have never expected that he can reach such a ranking.
The two of them immediately raised their hands to the surroundings, but they both saw Song Mu, and their eyes were suddenly stunned at this moment.
Because they haven't heard Song Mu's name yet.
"The fourth place in the Bingxu Science Examination, Yu An, Jinling Prefecture, Jiangnan East Road! His name will remain in history and shine through the ages!"
"The third place in the Bingxu Science Examination, Li Chi from Mianzhou Prefecture in Bashu! His name will remain in history and shine through the ages!"
Two more names were read out, but Song Mu's name still did not appear. At this time, everyone in the venue had a look on their faces, and everyone looked at Song Mu in disbelief.
Song Mu immediately raised his head and looked at the high platform, his palms clenched tightly, and they were all wet.
