Zhong Jian walked to the east gate of the palace and followed many students behind him.

As for those students who failed, some have already planned to leave Changsha. Some have been running back and forth in Changsha’s various academic institutions, wanting to enter these institutions and fight again next year.

Not everyone is only satisfied with the tribute. After all, the Jinshi is the highest pursuit of students in this era.

"Student Zhong Jian, I have met you all."

When Zhong Jian saw his name at the top of the list, he silently recited a few comments from Zhao Dongting's pen in his heart. He bent down to the official who released the list.

He was quite delicate, thin, and was wearing a long green gown with a few patches. However, his complexion was neither humble nor arrogant.

Perhaps this is a true scholar.

He is naturally blessed with poetry and writing spirit.

When the official released the list heard that he called himself Zhong Jian, he was surprised at first, but then did not dare to neglect it. He smiled and said, "Young Master, be polite, be polite."

The head official picked up the remaining token of Zhong Jian from the desk next to him and handed it to Zhong Jian, "Mr. Zhong, this is your token. You must remember that two days later, just before the first day of March, I will hold this order to go to the palace to meet the emperor. The emperor said that if there is a Jinshi who has expired, the status of Jinshi will be cancelled. The emperor dislikes the unpunctual person the most."

Zhong Jian took the token, politely, and bowed and said, "Zhong Jian remember, thank you sir."

"Young Master Zhong, please be polite."

The head official smiled even stronger, "Young master is a talented man, and you will definitely be valued by the emperor in the future. We will wait, and I will ask you to take care of you in the future!"

Although Zhong Jian is talented, he is not pedantic and said: "Natural, natural."

Then he bowed to the students and the onlookers around him and turned around and left.

Immediately afterwards, I went to the street to shout and copy books.

This made those who followed him and did not give up and wanted to get close to him speechless. They were already "new top scorers", but what are they still selling?

With Zhong Jian’s fame at this time, as long as he opens his mouth, people who are willing to give him money will probably be in a steady stream. Wanquan can make a fortune.

No, he doesn't need to open his mouth at all.

Not long after, a wealthy businessman came with gold ingots and wanted to invite Zhong Jian to the mansion for a banquet.

This is the invitation, and so much gold is presented, you can imagine how these wealthy businessmen are determined to win Zhong Jian.

The first "new top scholar" after the restructuring of the imperial examination system may be able to enter the center of the court after the State Council ordered Lu Xiufu and others to retire. This is the biggest potential stock in the Song Dynasty.

However, Zhong Jian declined one after another.

He obviously knew his current situation. These wealthy businessmen and officials rushed up to help him in time. He wanted to accept that what he owed was favor.

Don’t you have to pay such favors in the future?

When everyone saw him politely declined, they didn't dare to use force. They were all very disappointed at the moment.

I dare not have someone else to find another way, so I asked Zhong Jian to write poems and write to them now.

This is the future master's magic treasure.

Of course, the pen cost of these people who ask for words is undoubtedly extremely high.

Zhong Jian did not insist on refusing this.

In just a short time, there were already many gold ingots beside him.

Zhong Jian looked at these gold ingots from time to time and counted them carefully, as if he was trying to make a fortune.

When there were twenty-one ingots in the gold ingot, he suddenly put away the stall and bowed to everyone around him, "Thank you for your support. Zhong Jian needs to go back to study, see you again."

Then he put away the stall and left in this way, looking very different from the rich students in bright clothes and angry horses.

Finally, he went outside the city and settled in a dilapidated temple that had been in disrepair.

During the imperial examination days, he stayed in the inn without money, so he lived in this dilapidated temple every night.

When everyone learned about this, they were just moved. Mr. Zhong was really a talented scholar.

By the evening approaching, even Zhao Dongting, who was in the deep palace, heard about this and laughed softly, "This Zhong Jian is an interesting person."

Zhang Shijie, who came to report in person, asked softly: "Your Majesty, should we bring him into the palace or to the old minister's mansion? Now that the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty has just begun, it is rare for students like Zhong Jian to be knowledgeable and talented."

"inappropriate."

Zhao Dongting shook his head, "It will make the rest of the Jinshi dissatisfied with him too special. Moreover, Zhong Jian may also be arrogant because of his favor. At that time, the losses of our Song Dynasty will be great."

"The Emperor's Holy Spirit."

Zhang Shijie bowed and said no more.

Zhao Dongting was amused and crying.

These old ministers always say that he is wise and wise. But how could he not understand that Zhang Shijie just did it deliberately?

With Zhang Shijie's head, he may not even be able to imagine this?

But he was too lazy to talk about Zhang Shijie again.

After so many years, he no longer hopes to change the bad habit of these old ministers slapping horses in front of him.

There is no way, who can make me the emperor?

Two more days later, the day when the Jinshi entered the palace to meet the saint.

Zhao Dongting still got up before dawn, meditated, practiced swords, and exercised sword intent as usual. After these were done, it was already close to Chen Shi.
