After the palace examination, the list was released three days later, and a ceremony was held in the Emperor's Palace.

Zheng Xunrui and others left the Jianji Palace, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites told them that they rushed to the Daming Gate on March 18 to participate in the ceremony, and they must not be late, because the ceremony of the ceremony was very majestic, and the officials above the fifth rank in the court had to participate, and the emperor personally presided over it, and if they were late for some reason, it was equivalent to the crime of defrauding the king.

After returning to the restaurant, Zheng Xunrui and the others didn't even dare to drink, three days passed in a flash, if they were really drunk, hurt their bodies, and delayed the ceremony, it would not be a joke. Yang Tingshu's interest is very good, probably because the article of this palace examination is very good, he also congratulates Zheng Xunrui, thinking that Zheng Xunrui must be the first-class, after all, the emperor personally asked for poems, which has never happened in the past.

Zheng Xunrui is very calm, can let him idle time is getting less and less, once the palace test, the first major problem he faces, is how to leave the Hanlin Academy decently, go out to create a world, this needs to test his wisdom, there are bad examples in front, Chongzhen in the first year of the Jinshi Liu Zhilun, the enshrinement of Hanlin Shu Jishi, Chongzhen was reused in the second year, promoted to the right of the military department, at the end of October of that year, after the Jin Tatar divided into three ways to enter the customs, invaded the North Zhili Zhudi, Liu Zhilun took the initiative to ask for war, and recruited 10,000 people in a short time, divided into eight battalions, out of Jizhou to fight after the Golden Tartars, the result was also a fiasco in a short period of time, only one battalion of eight battalion sergeants remained, Liu Zhilun himself refused to surrender, and died in Zunhua at the end of the first month of the third year of Chongzhen.

This matter is said to be quite a blow to the emperor, because the emperor trusts Liu Zhilun very much, from the position of the Hanlin Academy, he was directly promoted to the right attendant of the military department, which can be described as an over-standard promotion and reuse, but unfortunately the emperor finally got the disappointment, although Liu Zhilun did not surrender to the death, but a scholar, how much does he really know about the army, in just two months, only two battles, more than 10,000 people led by him were only more than 1,000 people left, and the rest were all killed by Houjin Tartar.

The consequence caused by Liu Zhilun is to make the emperor feel that Jiang is still old and spicy.

So from this level, it is difficult to get the opportunity to leave the capital, and Zheng Xunrui needs to spend a lot of thought.

March 18, Yinshi.

Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu were ready to set off from the restaurant, and Yiqiē was still the arrangement made by the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

When they came to Daming Gate, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had already waited here in advance, and when they saw Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu, who were a little late, the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not speak, but asked everyone to be ready.

The crowd began to change their clothes, that is, to put on the court clothes of the jinshi.

It's still the old route, but the difference this time is that when many tributes dressed in Jinshi court clothes came to Chengtianmen, they waited for a full quarter of an hour, which is not surprising, because at this time, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court are entering the Forbidden City.

Finally saw the Imperial Palace again.

At this time, the Huangji Hall is particularly majestic, and the Huangji Hall has been placed on the imperial platform in front of the Huangji Palace, and the yellow case is placed on the top of the Huangbang list.

Below the imperial platform, many civil and military ministers stood in the danqi on both sides of the imperial road and waited.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, the leader Zheng Xunrui and others, came to both sides of the imperial road and waited at a distance of about ten meters from the civil and military officials.

At the end of the day, the emperor came to the Imperial Palace.

When the emperor entered the main hall, those who could follow him into the main hall were the cabinet ministers, the six Shangshu, the imperial history of the left and right of the Imperial Inspectorate, and the rest of the officials were still waiting outside the main hall.

The ceremony officially began.

The first is the great ceremony of three kneeling and nine bowing, whether it is a civil and military official, or all the tributes, they must all kneel.

While kneeling and saluting, Zheng Xunrui was cursing in his heart, you said that it is okay to kowtow once, and you have to kowtow nine times, and you have to kneel three times, isn't it looking for something to do, Lao Tzu kowtows to the ancestors and salutes is not so complicated, besides, your emperor is in the main hall, Lao Tzu kneels or not, and you can't see it.

At the end of the salute, Honglu Siqing began to announce the "system":

"On March 15 of the fourth year of Chongzhen, he tried to test the world's tributes, the first class was given to the Jinshi and the first, the second class was given to the Jinshi origin, and the third class was given to the same Jinshi origin."

After the Honglu Temple Qing finished reading, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet in court clothes, walked out of the main hall with a stern face, and slowly walked in the direction of the imperial platform.

All eyes were focused on Zhou Yanru.

This is the most solemn moment of the ceremony.

The champion of the first class, Bangyan and Tanhua, all have three roll calls, and as for the second and third class jinshi, all of them only sing their names once.

In addition, there is a slight difference, that is, the three people of the first class are led out of the line by the officials of Honglu Temple, kneeling on the left and right sides of the imperial road, and the second and third class jinshi do not go out of the ranks, and are still waiting in place.

Zhou Yanru slowly opened the imperial list.

"Nanzhili should be the tribute of Jiangning County, Tianfu, Zheng Xunrui, hand-picked the first first, and gave the first and first."

Zhou Yanru's voice was very loud, and the epilogue even echoed around the main hall.

"Nanzhili should be the tribute of Jiangning County, Tianfu, Zheng Xunrui, hand-picked the first first, and gave the first and first."

"Nanzhili should be the tribute of Jiangning County, Tianfu, Zheng Xunrui, hand-picked the first first, and gave the first and first."

Zhou Yanru took the roll call three times, and the officials of Honglu Temple had already come to Zheng Xunrui's side, prompted Zheng Xunrui with his eyes, and followed him to the left side of the imperial road in front of him and knelt down.

Zheng Xunrui, who lowered his head, didn't look at anyone, followed the officials of Honglu Temple, he didn't think that he would become the champion of the palace examination, wouldn't this be six yuan and the first, he who is familiar with history, knows the imperial examination for more than 1,300 years, there are only fifteen people in the three yuan and the first, and there are only two people in the Ming Dynasty, Shang Zhen and Huang Guan, as for whether the two are ** and Xiao Sanyuan at the same time, it is not known, and there is no such detailed statistics in history, but at this moment, he is the champion of ** and Xiao Sanyuan, and finally appeared.

History always has to change something, otherwise what is the purpose of crossing.

Kneeling on the royal road, on the left and right sides are the civil and military ministers of the court, feeling the eyes of everyone, Zheng Xunrui is unhappy in his heart, why should the champion go out and kneel, the second and third class jinshi, all of them do not need to kneel, this is really a little unfair.

"Chen Yutai, a Gongshi of Yixing County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, hand-picked the first and second place, and gave the Jinshi and the first."

"Chen Yutai, a Gongshi of Yixing County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, hand-picked the first and second place, and gave the Jinshi and the first."

"Chen Yutai, a Gongshi of Yixing County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, hand-picked the first and second place, and gave the Jinshi and the first."

The officials of Honglu Temple led Chen Yutai and knelt down at the back of Zheng Xunrui's right.

Zheng Xunrui looked at Chen Yutai and found that Chen Yutai's body trembled slightly, obviously very excited.

"Yang Tingshu, a Gongshi of Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, handpicked the first and third places, and gave Jinshi and the first."

"Yang Tingshu, a Gongshi of Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, handpicked the first and third places, and gave Jinshi and the first."

"Yang Tingshu, a Gongshi of Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, handpicked the first and third places, and gave Jinshi and the first."

At this moment, Zheng Xunrui's body trembled slightly, he didn't expect that Yang Tingshu had actually become a tanhua, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

Yang Tingshu knelt behind him, and the sound of heavy breathing could be heard.

After singing the list of the first three people, the officials of Honglu Temple returned to the front of the tribute team with the three of them.

The singing list lasted a little long, after all, it was a list of 400 people, and it had to be read out one by one, but the speed behind Zhou Yanru was much faster, and the second and third class jinshi did not need to bow down.

After the roll call ended, the music of "Qingping Chapter" began to sound, and at this time, the officials of Honglu Temple once again led all the jinshi to begin to perform the big bow of three kneels and nine bows.

Zheng Xunrui kowtowed a little numb, counting from the hour to the hour, he kowtowed nineteen times in an hour, and such a high frequency was also the first time to appear.

After Zhou Yanru read out the imperial list, Wen Tiren, the assistant minister of the cabinet and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked up to the imperial platform, held the imperial list in his hand, and carefully put it into the cloud disk.

The officials of Honglu Temple held a yellow umbrella to guide in front, Wen Tiren followed behind the yellow umbrella, and behind him were cabinet ministers, followed by civil and military officials, and then many Jinshi led by Zheng Xunrui.

The team was huge.

The group walked out of the Taihe Gate and the Noon Gate.

Zhang Bang is outside the gate of East Chang'an Street, according to the rules, the emperor list will be hung here for three days, so that many people can also see it.

Many Jinshi enjoyed the honor of once in their lives, that is, they went out from the main gate of the noon gate, and the main gate was only allowed by the emperor.

Outside the gate of East Chang'an Street, there are already a lot of people, including scholars, who are watching here, and they also want to know who the champion is this time.

The court clothes of civil and military officials and Jinshi are completely different, and the common people and scholars know that the champion is at the forefront of the Jinshi team, and behind the champion is a role model and a flower, and when the list is published, the champion also has to take a lot of Jinshi to look at the emperor list from left to right.

Zheng Xunrui, who was walking in the front, quickly felt the attention of attention, and could faintly hear the voice of exclamation, probably because he was too young.

The honor of this moment belongs to the champion.

When Zheng Xunrui took a lot of Jinshi to watch the list, his attitude was very low-key, he walked a little fast, except for the time to watch the list, almost all of them lowered their heads, did not stay in front of the imperial list, and the people behind naturally walked fast.

Zhou Yanru and others on the side naturally saw this scene.

Everyone's eyes are very complicated, Zhou Yanru was also the champion, and when he watched the list, he pointed his name with his finger from time to time, but this Zheng Xunrui is very strange, so young but so low-key, it really has some meaning.
