Chapter 72 The Palace Announces the End of the Month
Chapter 72 Good news in the palace (please collect and vote for me at the end of the month)
Watching Gao Zhang, the guy who not only passed the provincial examination, but also won the Jinke Provincial Yuan, left surrounded by the happy Gao family members.
Tong Zhisheng, who felt extremely lost in his heart, could not help but look up to the sky and sigh in melancholy.
"At this moment in Sajia's life, I really have the desire to enter Buddhism again."
These words caused the facial muscles of several Tongfus who accompanied him to twist.
Cai Laoliu touched the moist corners of his eyes silently, feeling so distressed that he couldn't help himself.
Obviously I have a hunch that I will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination.
But the reality is like a stepmother's hand, blowing hard on her chubby face.
There must be a shady story, otherwise why could I, the Qilin son of the Cai family, who had a thorny head and a thorn in his buttocks, work harder than that kid, but couldn't even pass the provincial examination?
The steward of the Cai Mansion on the side came forward feebly and asked Cai Yao, who had a gloomy expression.
"Rokuro, let's go back home too?"
"Okay, go back home." Cai Yao gritted his teeth and said viciously.
"Officials, the examiners of the current provincial examination have arrived outside Chui Gong Hall, waiting for the official's summons."
Zhao Ji smiled happily at Wu Zhizhong, who was talking freely, and took the roster handed over by Yang Jian, who had replaced Li Yan.
Haha, what the hell is the name of Wu Le Gong? And what the hell is that mess? It makes no sense at all.
"In addition, I have some great news to report to the officials.
Yang Jian is a middle-ranking official and a confidant of the official family, so naturally he does not need to report by name when entering the palace.
Immediately his voice rose another octave, and he was very impassioned.
Looking at Cai Yao, who suddenly became fierce and got into the carriage with a dark face, the steward of the Cai Mansion looked confused and didn't understand what was wrong with Liu Lang.
Especially those officials whose children participated in this provincial imperial examination are looking forward to the arrival of the list.
What if that kid really passed the provincial examination?
Thinking of this, Cai Jing, who was also a Jinshi, couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Official Zhao Ji's eyes fell on the paper. When he saw the familiar name of Gao Zhang, his eyes widened to the extreme.
However, everyone suppressed these questions in their hearts with a tacit understanding and continued to work slowly and leisurely.
If you pass the provincial Jinshi examination this year, even if you fail in the palace examination, you will still be able to obtain a noble status with the same background as Jinshi. This will be enough to honor your ancestors.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, Zhao Ji's eyes fell on him.
However, everything you do must eventually be tested by Wu Qing and the provincial examination examiners.

During the early morning meeting, all the ministers and ministers gathered in the palace, but the mood and mental state of the officials today were a bit out of tune.
Wu Shangshu, who was not far behind, laughed and continued to move forward hand in hand with Chen Shilang.
At that time, when he went back to the ancestral tomb mountain to announce the good news, Gao Qiu felt that he was willing to let Gao Zhang, the star of Wenqu, kneel down in the row in front of him.
Actually, those guys are still boasting, as if Gao Zhang, who has done two fewer policy questions than me, is really a child prodigy, bah!
I'll go back and ask my father why the shady story of this year's imperial examination is so big that even I, the Qilin son of the Cai family, can't pass it.
Zhao Ji yawned secretly. He didn't get much rest last night.
After all, this was a miracle made by himself. Seeing that he could succeed in one attempt, Zhao Ji naturally felt quite happy.
The circles under his eyes are dark, and he seems to be in a state of lack of sleep. I don't know if this unscrupulous fool had too much fun last night.
At this moment, he lifted up his front and walked forward quickly. He arrived at the Chui Gong Hall and went straight inside.
The moment Wu Shangshu said this, all the ministers and servants who had juniors taking part in the Jinke Provincial Examination invariably raised their ears and stared at Wu Shangshu with surprise on their faces.
However, I thought that I had thought about it many times before, and I was sure there would be no obvious flaws.
"Okay, okay, Xuan." Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, and his whole body suddenly became energetic.
Even if Cai Yao is a little silly and cute, he is his direct bloodline after all, not to mention that he is not afraid of ten thousand in everything, but is afraid of the unexpected.
"He is a provincial member?!"
"During the Gongyuan Conferment Examination, there was no case of anyone engaging in malpractice for favoritism and being expelled from the Gongyuan..."
Even Cai Jing, the treacherous prime minister who gave up hope on his own Liulang, was obviously a little distracted today.
"Officials, please look at Jinko Shogyuan..."
Because the results will be released today, after the results are released by the Gongyuan Court, the examiner, Wu Zhizhong, the Minister of Rites, will bring the list of tributes to the palace and report them to the officials.
A question escaped from his throat.
"In the official family, I was fortunate enough to live up to my command. A total of 283 tributes were recorded in the provincial examination today."
Rather than staying here and being embarrassed, it's better to go home first.
Facing the questioning look cast by official Zhao Ji, Yang Jian nodded vigorously.
"Uh-huh?!"
Even the depressed mood caused by Zhou Bangyan's "Youth Games* and Swords Like Water" finally improved.
The first place in the Jinke Provincial Examination is a young talent who can be said to be a great talent in managing the world and benefiting the people."
If this kid really passes the provincial examination and passes the palace examination and gets a Jinshi title, he won't be allowed to sit on his father's head and shit in the future?
He just lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, praying silently in his heart, hoping that his only son Gao Zhang could unite the Gao family's literary fortune and carry it forward.
This made Cai Jing feel quite complicated, but Gao Qiu over there didn't have as many thoughts as Cai Jing.
Wu Shangshu, who was reporting below, also heard the low voice of the official Zhao Ji behind the imperial case.
I don't know what the selfless Wu Qing family will do when faced with Yang Jian sent by them.
The smile on his face instantly faded, and Zhao Ji soon saw Wu Zhizhong, the chief examiner who presided over the provincial examination, striding over with a list of tributes in his hand, and beside him was the deputy chief examiner Chen Shilang.
Yang Jian knew very well what the official Zhao Ji wanted to know, so he directly turned to the page where Gao Zhang's name was recorded.
Then Wu Shangshu must have received money from the Gao family, otherwise why would he speak for Gao Zhang so much?
Watching him go straight around the civil and military ministers, and trotted all the way to the front.
The official on the side who couldn't control his emotions asked loudly.
When he saw the official's face beaming with joy, he began to report loudly.
Whether it's Gao Qiu, who thinks his child is very talented, or Cai Jing, who thinks his baby is cute, they are all very cautious.
However, Cai Jing couldn't help but feel a little ache when he thought of that boy's open-mouthed Qilin son of the Cai family and his merciless character.
#####
I wanted to rush back to the palace to announce the good news to the officials, but Wu Shangshu made excuses and pinned down Yang Jian in Gongyuan.
After the two entered the palace to see each other, Lieutenant Wu Zhi handed the solid roster in his hand to the eunuch who came to him.
"Please ask Wu Shangshu to tell you who Jinke Shengyuan is?!"
Wu Shangshu glanced at the officials who were stunned, stood proudly, and exhaled loudly.
"This is Gao Zhang, a child prodigy who started his education at the age of eight and participated in this year's provincial examination at the age of eleven."
