After a while, Li Xiaoru hurried back from the Inspectorate Office. He probably had already received the news. As soon as he entered the hall, he smiled and said, "Seventeen, seventeen, it's amazing. I didn't expect you to be able to pass the top scorer. It's amazing!"

Hearing such words, although I was proud, I quickly stood up and said humbly: "Godfather has been awarded too much, and Shiqi has just got a little luck!"

"Luck?" Li Xiaoru stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "I thought I had only won the second-tier 24 in the imperial examination. If I had no real talent and knowledge, how could I win by luck alone? What's more, among the four examiners this time, there are Dongge Grand Secretary Wu Chen and Wu, Yang District Yang, and my fellow brother Song. These are all people with rigorous academic research. If you didn't think you were really talented, how could you call the first-tier rank? You can't just use luck to underestimate the eyes of several adults!"

I quickly looked cold when I heard this, and nodded and responded: "Godfather is right, it's because I'm not thinking well."

Li Xiaoru probably saw that even if I won the Huiyuan, he did not show any ostentatiousness. Therefore, he smiled with satisfaction: "Seventeen, it is rare that you are so calm... Well, I will not be wrong in my eyes when I see people. You just need to continue working hard and you will definitely achieve great things in the future." While speaking, he turned to Li Ziru on the side and said, "Ziru, although you are only in the 38th place, you have a way of origin. I hope that you can work harder to live up to my expectations!" After hearing this, Li Ziru quickly responded seriously.

On this day, the Li family was very happy. No matter what, two Jinshis appeared in the mansion on the same day, but the whole mansion had a lot of face. It is said that even if the servants walked outside, they were dragged to inquire about the two Jinshis in the mansion one after another. The most of them were of course asking me, who was the first name of the first accelerator.

After a few days, I finally arrived at the palace examination. That is, the emperor summoned all the candidates who entered the third grade in the Golden Palace and gave questions to test everyone. In fact, for those who passed the second grade and third grade, the palace examination was just an icing test on the cake, because it was just a icing test on the cake to be able to see the emperor's face in the palace examination, and listen to the emperor's teachings, and then come out in the future, which was really a glorious thing. However, for the three people in the first grade, the palace examination has completely different meanings, because in the palace examination, the emperor will point out the top scorer, the second scorer and the Tanhua among the three people through their judgment in their hearts. Although this is just a ranking, it is directly related to the promotion assessment in the officialdom in the future. Therefore, it is really important for these three people.

Then again, my only purpose is to go to the Golden Palace, that is, to be able to see the emperor's grandfather directly, so I don't care too much about the reputation competition for the top scorer or second place, Tanhua. Therefore, since I learned that I could participate in the palace examination, I began to become a little "lazy" and I really didn't feel any nervous.

It was finally time for the palace examination that day. I was dressed neatly as usual, so I went straight to the hall to wait for Li Ziru. Just when he came out, we could go to the tribute courtyard together, and then a special official took us into the palace to participate in the palace examination.

Li Ziru seemed to attach more importance to this palace examination than me. He was wearing a light gray Confucian scholar, a silver scarf on his head, and a pair of brand new cloth shoes. He was so cool. He walked out and asked as soon as he saw me, "Seventeen, please help me see, is this outfit appropriate?"

I laughed and joked, "I said, brother, we are going to take the palace examination this time, not going on a blind date!"

Li Ziru's face turned slightly red, then patted my head again, pretending to be angry, "Good boy, dare you tease me?" He paused slightly, and he hugged my shoulder again and said, "Seventeen, my brother is just joining in the fun this time, but you are different. You must work harder and take down the top scorer together, so that you can make your parents and everyone's faces shine. Do you know?"

I felt Li Ziru's sincere friendship with me, nodded and agreed, "Brother, don't worry, I will do my best." Li Ziru smiled and patted my shoulder, and then walked out with me.

Many candidates who passed the imperial examination had already gathered in the tribute school. Because those who passed the imperial examination had to pass the palace examination and were given the current emperor "Jinshi" to be considered a real Jinshi. Therefore, for the time being, everyone can only be considered a candidate. Li Ziru and I walked into the gate of the tribute school and heard someone shouting: "Ziru, 17, you are finally here."

Li Ziru and I looked up and saw Liu Ziliang greeting us in the crowd. I had heard Li Ziru say that Liu Ziliang won the third place and second place this time, and he did a good job in the exam. I don’t know if it was because he heard the word “Seventeen” greeting by Liu Ziliang. Many of the candidates present looked at me, with a hint of surprise admiration in their eyes, probably guessing that I, the “Seventeen”, were the first name in the first exam this time.

I didn't care about the eyes of others, so I walked up and smiled and said, "Ziliang, I haven't seen you for the past few days. Where have you been?"

Liu Ziliang shook his head and sighed, and commented: "You really don't know. After I passed the exam these days, relatives and friends from all over the world came to congratulate me. I am busy with social engagements every day, and I really have no time to find you!"

Li Ziru and I had known that Liu Ziliang's father was the chief minister in charge of the criminal name of a place, so we thought that "relatives and friends" would naturally be more than ordinary people. So after looking at each other, Li Ziru lowered his voice and joked: "It seems that your family has gained a lot in the past few days?"

Liu Ziliang also knew that we were joking, but he looked at us and frowned and said, "There are so many gifts. Someone really brought them with real money the day before yesterday... Alas, but this matter cannot be laughed at, silence, silence."

When we saw Li Ziru's expression, we also knew his troubles. When we encountered such gifts from "relatives and friends" who came to our door, we discovered that the mystery inside was really troublesome. We should know that because the corruption in the officialdom was left behind when the Mongols ruled the world, in order to eliminate this trend, the emperor's grandfather has always ruled the country with strict law. If there were any officials in the court who accepted bribes, the punishment would be extremely severe.

After the three of them said for a while, all the 300 candidates who passed the exam came. After the relevant officials came over to count the number of people, they took us to the Forbidden Palace. After passing the checkpoints, we finally arrived and walked directly to the open space in front of the Golden Palace to wait.

Perhaps because today is a special day, all the civil and military officials in the court gathered in the hall. I stood in the front row of the recruits. Due to my excellent eyesight, I saw the emperor's grandfather sitting in the Golden Palace from afar. For some reason, although the emperor's grandfather was very energetic, his appearance seemed much older, at least older than the last time I left the capital.

"Grandfather of the Emperor, Changluo can finally see you again!" When I thought of recognizing the Emperor's Emperor's grandfather soon, a burst of heat suddenly rose in my heart.

After waiting quietly for a while, the singer finally announced that we would enter the hall. I suppressed the excitement in my heart and followed the eunuch to the hall. Because I didn't expect any accidents at this time, I failed. Therefore, I lowered my head like everyone else along the way, so as not to let people find a very disrespectful reason to blow me out. At this time, I just want the emperor's grandfather to be the first to recognize me, and I can only let the emperor's grandfather recognize me first.

When I walked into the Golden Palace, I had no time to secretly check what civil and military officials were there, and then I heard the eunuch shout "Kneel down and bow down" and then knelt down like all the elders and gave a big gift of nine bows and three bows, and then shouted three times.

Seeing our sons kneeling on the ground, the emperor and grandfather did not immediately let us calm down, but said slowly in the hall: "My country is becoming stronger and stronger. Today I am very happy to see you young people standing out in the imperial examinations! Well, you all calm down!"

According to the rules of the past, the emperor's grandfather must ask the three elders first, so I stood up respectfully from the ground, and did not rush to fold the chair. I just waited for a while before the emperor's grandfather began to ask me. At the same time, I also saw the crown prince Zhu Biao sitting on one side of the hall. With a secret hatred in my heart, I quickly lowered my head slightly to avoid his gaze.

The emperor's grandfather talked about the importance of national enrollment and enrollment in the palace, and then finally glanced at the crowd of His Highness and said with a smile: "I heard that the first name of the head armor you will take this time is Zhu, and it is Zhu Shiqi, Shiqi... Shiqi... Yes, who are you Zhu Shiqi..."

At this critical moment, the singer outside the hall gate suddenly proclaimed loudly: "Prince Kaiping, Prince Chuyang, Prince Yunqian meet." The singer's words immediately interrupted the emperor's grandfather's inquiry to me. While I was secretly anxious, I quickly calmed down and continued to endure under the hall.
