The street in front of the Examination Yuan has long been surrounded by water. From the street to the end, as far as the eye can see, there are always crowds of people.
Today is the day when the literary test results are announced. Because the results of the martial arts test are only for reference and do not affect the results of the imperial examination, the ranking of the literary test is the final ranking of the imperial examination.
The large formation outside the examination hall will disperse after the announcement of the results at noon.
In order to ensure the fairness of the examination, no one could enter or leave the examination hall in the past three days. Officials in the court, not even Her Majesty the Queen, knew the results of the imperial examination.
There was still a quarter of an hour before the announcement of the list at noon, and everyone gathered outside the formation, talking about it.
"I wonder who will be the top candidate in this literary test?"
"If you can get the top prize in the literary examination, your future will be limitless..."
"Is there any need to guess? The number one winner must be one of the three. Who else can take the top spot from them?"
…
Although the literary test list has not yet been announced, everyone has already made speculations about the candidate for the top spot.
The Zhou brothers, the crown prince of Nanwang, are the best students in their respective academies. They have outstanding literary talents and can be called the geniuses of the world in their cultivation. As powerful candidates for the future crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, their education and ability
The resources he enjoys are far incomparable to those of the top wealthy families in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Unsurprisingly, the top scholar in the literary examination will definitely be born among the three.
Zhou Zheng, Zhou Feng, and Crown Prince Nan were also among the crowd.
They don't have to come in person. Even if they stay in the mansion, they will know the results as soon as the examination hall opens. But this time the results are very important to them. If they can get them under the spotlight,
Being the top scorer in the literary examination will be of great benefit to their future.
The people of the world certainly hope that a more talented emperor will appear in the Zhou Dynasty. This will become an invisible bargaining chip for them in the process of competing for the crown prince and a good story after he ascends the throne.
The three of them looked at the entrance of the examination hall with indifferent expressions, but deep down, they were not as calm as they appeared.
Most of the students outside the examination hall were as anxious as they were.
Buzz…
Just after noon, a bell suddenly rang in the examination hall.
After the bell rang, the door of the examination hall, which had been closed for three days, slowly opened.
Countless officials came out of it.
The Minister of Rites walked to the front of the formation, pinched a spell in his hand, and the formation dispersed.
He looked at the many candidates in front of him and said, "The time has come to publish the results."
The voice of the Minister of Rites was loud and loud, spreading in all directions. Not long after his words fell, hundreds of golden lights shot up into the sky in the examination hall.
These golden lights rushed into the sky and exploded, forming large golden characters floating in the void, emitting a faint light.
That is the name of the candidates who passed the imperial examination.
At the front of the one hundred names are the three characters "Qingyun Bang".
"Qingyunbang" means "stepping up to the top", which is a metaphor that those who are on the list will be able to rise straight up in their career in the future.
At this moment, the entire city of God saw the vision in the sky.
This hand of condensing words in the void was performed through the use of great magical powers. From all directions in the divine capital, the Qingyun List can be clearly seen, and in their eyes, it is always facing the list.
The Qingyun Ranking has been released, and countless candidates immediately cast their sights on it.
On the Qingyun list, the first name at the top of the list has a larger and brighter font than all subsequent names.
That is the honor that belongs to the top scorer in the literary examination.
The word "Li Mu" clearly caught everyone's eyes.
After a short period of silence, countless exclamations erupted from all over the city.
Outside the examination hall, many candidates looked in disbelief.
"Why is it him again!"
"How can this be?"
"He is both the top scholar in the martial arts examination and the top scholar in the literary examination?"
…
In the martial arts test three days ago, many candidates witnessed the physical fight between Li Mu and the examiner.
Scholars pursue the word "elegant", while practitioners are better at magical powers and will try to avoid close combat with others. After the martial arts test, everyone's impression of him is that he is a reckless man and a gentle beast...
However, three days later, Li Mu showed another side of him in front of them.
Everyone has taken the literary test and knows how difficult the questions are. It is impossible to get first place in the literary test without real talent and practical learning.
In the past, they only knew that Li Mu was brave and fearless, but now they found out that he was both civil and military.
At the same time, every corner of the divine capital was filled with people's cries of surprise.
"It's Capt. Li!"
"Captain Li is the number one scholar in the imperial examination!"
"He is the champion of Wu, and he is the champion of Wen. There is nothing else that Capt. Li can't do..."
"In the future, we can no longer call him Captor Li, but he must be called Zhuangyuanlang!"
"Hey, I regret it. Mr. Li is not married yet. There must be many people who want to marry their daughters to him this time. I'm afraid there is no hope for the two beautiful girls in my family..."
…
In the capital city, Li Mu is the patron saint of the people, and countless people are sincerely happy for him.
Before the examination, the Zhou brothers and Crown Prince Nan looked at the two shining golden characters in the sky and felt extremely dazzling.
That’s all for the Wu champion, but even the Wen champion was robbed by Li Mu, which made the three of them lose their face.
What they have received since childhood is the best education, and they have enjoyed the best resources. In terms of essays, Taoism, and martial arts, they do not lose to any peers or even elders, but they lose to a person who just a few months ago they could not even name.
A junior who doesn’t even know.
By the way, [ Source Changing Artifact APP ] is really good and worth installing. After all, it can cache reading and read aloud offline!
This is an unacceptable reality for the proud three people.
But the matter has come to this, and you have to accept it if you can't accept it. Fortunately, Li Mu's name is known to all gods, and he is the Queen's favorite minister. If he is a mediocre person, doesn't it mean that the Queen is not accurate in recognizing people?
Li Mu's reputation has long been known, so losing to him would be better. If he loses to the unknown Zhang San and Li Si, that would be a real shame.
There is no need to expect to be the number one scholar in literary studies, it just depends on who gets the second place in the literary examination.
The three people's eyes moved to the left. To the left of the top candidate in the literary test was the name of the second best person in the literary test.
The next moment, extreme astonishment appeared on the faces of the three people at the same time.
It’s really fucking Li Si!
Seeing the second shining name on the Qingyun List, the three of them stood stunned on the spot.
That's all Li Mu, where did this Li Si come from?
The Zhou brothers and Crown Prince Nan had the same doubts, as did the candidates before the examination, and the people of the divine capital.
Compared with the top scorer in the literary test, the name of the second-ranked candidate in the literary test is really too unfamiliar and too ordinary.
Li Si is a name that is believed by many dogs on the streets of Shendu. As the second best in the literary test, I always feel that it is a bit out of style.
The important thing is that before this, no one here or among the people of God had ever heard of his name.
After Li Si, there is no suspense in the ranking.
The third place in the literary test was Zhou Zheng of the Zhou family.
The fourth place in the literary test is Xiao Yu, the crown prince of the Southern Prince.
Fifth place in the Literary Examination, Zhou Jia Zhou Feng.
For others, this was a good achievement that could bring glory to the ancestors, but for these three people, it was tantamount to humiliation. The three people left quickly, while some of the remaining people were happy and some were sad.
"My name is on it!"
"I'm ranked seventy-three!"
"Hey, I didn't..."
"Neither did I. It seems I have to take the test again next time."
"Who is that Li Si? Is he there? Can you show up to see him?"
…
At the back of the crowd, a figure slowly left, came to a mansion in Beiyuan, and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was Li Mu. Li Si stood at the door and said, "Congratulations to you for being the top scholar in both civil and military affairs."
Li Mu invited him in and said, "You're not bad either."
Li Si was able to achieve second place in the literary test, which was unexpected by Li Mu.
The Ministry of Rites has long given out the books that candidates will take the test. Although Li Mu has given Li Si some key points, not all of them will allow him to pass the imperial examination and get second place in the literary test, with more than 90%.
, it still depends on his own efforts.
Li Mu knew Li Si very well. He usually seemed carefree and carefree, going in and out of the brothel every three days and showing no self-control.
But as long as he is determined to do something, his perseverance and determination put even Li Mu to shame.
From staying in a brothel every night to not even glancing at the brothel when passing by it, it was just a thought in his mind.
He decided to take part in the imperial examination, so he locked himself in an inn and did not leave the inn for two months. Asking himself, Li Mu couldn't do it.
Although his cultivation level is not high, he always gives Li Mu an unfathomable feeling.
Li Mu walked into the yard, glanced around, saw a strange figure, and asked: "Is there a guest at home?"
The Queen was decorating the flower branches in the garden. Li Mu coughed lightly and said, "That's Miss Zhou, a friend of mine."
Li Si glanced at the direction of the garden, with a look of understanding in his eyes, and then said: "I just want to congratulate you. If there is nothing else, I will go back first. The imperial examination results have been released, and I have to send a message to my father-in-law."
Li Mu sent him out and when he walked to the door, Li Si asked, "Is she a friend of your friend?"
Li Mu nodded.
Li Si looked at him meaningfully and said, "That friend of yours is so lucky."
Li Mu asked doubtfully: "How do you say this?"
Li Si looked forward and said: "It can be seen that she is very arrogant. This arrogance comes from her bones. She is not a rich and noble girl, she does not have such a temperament."
Li Mu nodded. The former queen was the daughter of a wealthy family. Now she is the most wealthy family. She has the pride and pride in front of everyone.
Li Si continued: "She is very proud and lonely. This loneliness even surpasses her pride."
Li Mu also wanted to learn this skill from Li Si. After spending time with the Queen, he understood her loneliness little by little. Li Si could see these things just by looking at her. This was something that no magic or magical power could do.
Did it.
Li Si glanced at Li Mu one last time and said: "She is so lonely. She should have no relatives or friends around her. This kind of woman is more eager for emotional nourishment. If you treat her well, she will repay you ten points, or even more.
This kind of woman is the easiest to succeed in pursuit of..."
