When the five words "Yingzhou Lu Junda" blurted out from the mouth of the roll call official, the whole audience was in an uproar!
The rural examination in this capital city is no less difficult than in other prefectures. What's more, the questions this time are intercept and combined questions.
Under such a background, those who can reach the top three are basically ruthless people with real talents and learning!
"I didn't expect Brother Lu to have advanced so much in knowledge over the years!"
"Brother Lu is a great talent, I admire him!"
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Lu! Congratulations to Senior Brother Lu!"
The people around him who had some friendship with Lu Junda, or the brothers who came with him, all inevitably came forward to congratulate or compliment him.
Lu Heng is the left minister of the household department, and Lu Junda is one of the top three in high school.
This vein is about to take off. If you don’t flatter me now, when will you wait?
Facing these congratulations and compliments, Lu Junda responded one by one, turned around, looked at Li Long, and said, "It's time for you to fulfill your promise."
"A stick of incense ago, you vowed to bet your life with me. Now, I am in the top three in high school."
"Why don't you make any sound? Are you afraid to die on this gold list? Are you afraid of pain?"
"That's okay. We are brothers after all. How can I not take care of you as a brother?"
"Come here, get the sword!"
When the junior brother next to him saw this, he really wanted to get the sword.
Li Long, on the other hand, turned coldly and said, "The roll call hasn't finished yet, why are you in a hurry?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Junda immediately frowned and said, "Is it possible that you can still be the top two?"
"Why not?" Li Long looked calm. He felt that it was not impossible to compete in the top two with his own answer sheet.
"Hmph, you are really brave. With your level, being on this yellow list is like smoke rising from the graves of your ancestors. Now, you dare to think about being in the top two in the provincial examination. You are really wishful thinking."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Although Lu Junda's words don't sound good, they make sense!
What level do you, Li Long, usually have? Everyone is a scholar in Qiandu City, do you know?
Even if you guys don't know it that well, then you can change those fellow disciples in front of the door and they will know it as clearly as possible.
To be honest, if Li Long can get into the top two, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as smoke rising from his ancestral grave.
That ancestral grave must be blown up!
"It's useless to talk more, just listen to the roll call." Li Long said.
"Humph, you're stubborn!" Lu Junda gritted his teeth.
Immediately afterwards, the little official spoke again: "Second A, Qiandu City Zhang Han."
As soon as this statement came out, there was another uproar.
There were many students from the Imperial College present, and naturally they were no strangers to Zhang Han, the Yin student.
But even so, when I heard the name of the second person, it was still difficult to accept it.
Why?
Because the contempt for Yinsheng has long been ingrained in the hearts of Gongsheng.
A group of noble sons and second-generation military generals came to the Imperial Academy just to coat their faces with gold to make their faces look better.
Expecting these people to make a fuss is tantamount to talking nonsense!
Even though Zhang Han always regarded himself as a scholar, he never got the recognition of this Gongsheng student.
But now..., that resounding No. 2 identity slapped them hard on the face.
Even a noble son can get the second place, what about them?
They are honorable Imperial College Gongsheng students!
But you can't even see other people's exhaust fumes.
This is simply a great shame!
However, for Zhang Han himself, this result is somewhat unsatisfactory.
He shook his head helplessly and said to Li Changkong, who was not far away: "It seems that I still have no knowledge and can't even get a solution."
After hearing this, the candidates around me felt extremely ashamed and angry.
For them, it is a great blessing to be included in the gold list.
But look at others? If you can’t get Jieyuan, you have to criticize yourself.
This comparison really sets the standard!
Hearing this, Li Changkong nodded and said, "This question is a bit tricky. You should have spent some time solving it."
"Yes, this question is neither difficult nor easy. I can only say it is just right."
"It did take some time to solve the problem, so the writing afterwards was a bit sloppy."
"If you, Lao Li, come to take the exam, I'm afraid you won't be able to get away with the name Jie Yuangong." Zhang Han said.
What he said was not bragging, but he believed it from the bottom of his heart.
Judging from Li Changkong's attainments in poetry, he is undoubtedly at the level of everyone.
I am afraid that 90% of the readers would not be able to write his poems in their lifetime.
Therefore, Zhang Han was convinced.
There is no shame in admitting that one is not as knowledgeable as such a monster.
However, after hearing this, the scholar next to him felt sad again.
What is this Jie Yuangong?
That’s a talent that only comes out of every state capital every three years!
Not to mention Duke Jie Yuang of Qiandu City, whose gold content is even higher.
But when it came into the mouths of these two people, why did it taste like cabbage?
But unfortunately, this Han is the second best!
I don’t know how much better than him in the exam, I have the confidence to say this!
Thinking of this, the candidate became depressed again.
Good guy, if you don't do well in the test, you won't even be able to refute others.
When Li Changkong heard this, he smiled and shook his head, saying: "Old Zhang, believe it or not, if I don't take part in the provincial examination, Duke Jie Yuang's name will also fall on my Wulinghou Mansion!"
When Zhang Han heard this, he was surprised at first. After pondering for a while, he said: "You mean...?"
"Yes, Li Long has this level."
As soon as Li Changkong finished speaking, the voice of the official was heard again: "Jie Yuan, Yuzhou Li Long!"
As soon as he said this, Lu Junda's arrogant and domineering face solidified bit by bit like a sculpture.
He only felt that his eyes were black and his mind was a little dizzy.
He stumbled and almost fainted.
After regaining consciousness, he yelled hysterically: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"I know very well what level Li Long is at."
"How could he be Jieyuan? There is a mistake! There must be a mistake!"
"My lord, my lord, you have to be more careful!" Lu Junda went crazy, grabbing the clothes of the roll call clerk and roaring hysterically.
When the roll call official saw this, his brows suddenly furrowed.
Although their official positions are not high, they are still imperial officials in the capital city, and now they are in full view of the public.
No matter whose disciple this Lu Junda is, they are not afraid.
"Bold! You act like this because you want to beat the imperial official!"
The clerk's angry shout made Lu Junda sober up a little.
But he still refused to give up and said: "Sir, there is something fishy in this! There must be something fishy!"
"It's impossible for this guy to win Jieyuan!"
"How presumptuous! The examination papers for the provincial examination were reviewed by Mr. Zhang and then submitted to the Holy Father himself for approval."
"During the whole process, not even the Holy One broke the seal!"
"Now, are you suspecting that Mr. Zhang and the Holy Spirit are unfair? Or are you suspecting that we and other inspectors are incompetent?"
