There was a lot of people outside the sedan, all kinds of envy, all kinds of jealousy, all kinds of congratulations, and some people sprinkled flowers on the sedan to cheer for this year's No. 1 pick.
I opened the curtain of the sedan chair and glanced at the bustling capital. I used to live here in a dilapidated temple, not listening to what was happening outside the window, and only reading the books of sages.
I didn't have time to appreciate the prosperity and prosperity of the capital. Now when I look back, I see something I haven't seen before.
Unknowingly, I arrived at the entrance of Jinluan Hall. After waiting for a while, the imperial edict announced that I was the first scholar in civil and military affairs, the second in the list, and the third overall winner. The six of them came together to see him.
The number one scholar walked in front, everything was arranged according to ranking, and finally they stood side by side in the main hall.
Without the emperor's order, no one dared to raise their head. They all looked down. On the left and right stood ministers, on one side were civil servants and on the other were military generals.
Datong always felt that there was no one sitting on the high seat opposite, but he did not dare to raise his head too high.
"The emperor is not feeling well today and cannot see you all in person. However, the emperor is thinking of you all and has arranged to ask the prince to read the imperial edict." After waiting for a long time, the last eunuch came to deliver the edict.
No one expected that after struggling for so long, they would not even look at the emperor in the end!
"You don't have to be cautious. My royal brother is not feeling well, but he is concerned about the new events this year. I have specially ordered this king to read out the holy decree." The prince stood in front of everyone and took the imperial decree from the eunuch.
Everyone knelt down, and there was no doubt that the top three in the martial arts category had all entered the military department.
Wen Tanhua entered the Ministry of Etiquette...
However, the personnel arrangements for this year's No. 1 pick Tian Datong have not been announced yet.
Datong raised his head slightly, and his eyes met the prince who was staring at him closely.
Datong's eyesight was clear and clear, but the Prince's eyesight was much more complicated. He couldn't tell clearly, let alone what the deep meaning was hidden there.
It's a pity that Datong doesn't know him. If Haitang comes, he will recognize at a glance that this is the prince who came to the county to celebrate Mr. Zhang's birthday. He is the only younger brother of the current emperor!
"Tian Datong, you follow me to the Prince's Mansion to be a counselor." These were the Prince's last words.
This arrangement was beyond Tian Datong's expectation. The counselor of the Prince's Mansion is not an official, but a sinecure, a coping function, dispensable. Is it possible that this year's new top scholar is so unpopular!
He can only be a counselor...
Far inferior to the positions of role model and third prize!
What is the reason for this? Datong looked at the prince in astonishment. Nothing could be seen from his eyes. He knew that the oracle could not be changed. It was a golden statement. He could only follow him into the prince's palace!
At the same time, there were all the civil and military officials with astonished faces!
Either the new top scholar offended someone in the court, so instead of assigning him a suitable position, he was excluded from the beginning.
Either he is a person with a backer, and the prince wants to reuse him, protect him, and let him rise to the top in one step!
Everyone has their own guesses in their minds, but no one will say it out loud. Whether it will be destroyed or saved, we can only wait and see!
"Number One Scholar, do you have any questions?" the prince asked.
"Your Majesty, I have no doubts." Datong knew that he did not even have the status of claiming to be a minister now! Because he was not an official, he could only be regarded as a non-staff member!
Others knelt down to express their gratitude.
The word "chen" makes Datong's heart and lungs hurt when he hears it!
