Rise From the Humble

First place in Class A...Zhu Ping'an!

The guards' loud singing for the second time woke up Ouyang Zushi, who was walking mechanically like a walking zombie, and then realized, hey, how did he get here? Why did he take two steps? What's going on?

"Are you Zhu Pingan? Please come with me."

Just when Ouyang Zishi suddenly woke up, the officials of Honglu Temple who came down with the second chanting saw one of the four hundred new Jinshis coming out, and they took it for granted that the Ouyang Zishi who walked out was Zhu. Peace.

The reason why the officials of Honglu Temple did this was entirely in accordance with the ritual procedures. According to the procedures, the first place in the first class, which is also the number one scholar, must sing three times in a row. The officials of Honglu Temple must lead the number one scholar. Go to the left side of the royal road under the steps and kneel to thank the emperor Long En.

The officials of Honglu Temple came down to lead the new champion to the royal road at the foot of the steps. Seeing "Zhu Ping'an", the new champion, was so excited that he walked out even before the second roll call was over. He couldn't help but He walked up to "Zhu Ping'an" to inquire quite admiringly, and then led "Zhu Ping'an" to the Royal Road to thank him.

The official from Honglu Temple had just finished asking, and was surprised to find that the new champion's whole body seemed to be cramped. The pale face of the new champion's face turned red as if it was suddenly congested. Not only that, his face also seemed to be cramped. of.

The Honglu Temple officials murmured a little, what happened to the new top scholar? Overwhelmed with joy?

"No, I... I'm not, I'm Ouyang Zishi." Ouyang Zishi's face was so red that he could bleed, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Fortunately, we only walked two steps away, and because we were at the foot of the steps outside the main hall, the big bosses in the main hall could not see it. The Honglu Temple official who was responsible for guiding outside the main hall knew that Ouyang Zishi and Yan Songyan Ouyang Zishi wasn't too out of the ordinary about the relationship between Ge Lao, so he pretended not to see it when he saw it.

The censor in charge of supervision had the same mentality and pretended not to see it.

As for the new Jinshi who are waiting, they are not much better than Ouyang Zishi. Although they are not as rude as Ouyang Zishi, the surprise in their hearts is even worse. How could it be Zhu Pingan? He only got seven "O"s. He chose the Golden Rooster. There is no reason to win the top prize.

Everyone was shocked, but it also saved Ouyang Zishi a lot of embarrassment.

The only two exceptions were Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen. They were just surprised and then sincerely happy for Zhu Pingan.

Zhu Ping'an was not too surprised, looking calm and composed. However, in the eyes of everyone, especially Ouyang Zishi, Zhu Ping'an was obviously pretending to be like this. What's interesting? He was obviously very excited and surprised, and he also pretended to be indifferent and dangerous. What if he wasn't pretending to be B!

"I will learn from Zhu Pingan." As soon as Ouyang Zishi finished speaking, Zhu Pingan greeted the officials of Honglu Temple in a timely manner. He also solved Ouyang Zishi's surroundings in a timely manner and attracted everyone's attention to him.

"Ahem, um, please come with me." The official of Honglu Temple was also a little embarrassed. He coughed and led Zhu Ping'an to the royal road.

Under the envious eyes of everyone, Zhu Pingan followed the officials of Honglu Temple and walked out of the queue to the royal road.

The royal road, as the name suggests, is the road specially designed for the emperor to walk. This exception is only made for the number one, number two, and top pick during the imperial examination, and it is no exception at any other time.

It is the supreme honor to walk on the royal road. Ouyang Zishi looked at Zhu Ping'an's back as he stepped onto the royal road, and various emotions of envy, jealousy, and hatred came over him.

Officials from Honglu Temple led Zhu Pingan to the left side of the royal road. After walking for a while, they stopped to signal Zhu Pingan to kowtow and thank him.

"My lord Zhu Ping'an, thank you Lord for your kindness."

Zhu Ping'an followed his good deeds and stood on the left side of the royal road, knelt down and knelt down to thank him. With Zhu Ping'an kneeling like this, a brand new disciple of the Emperor was born.

After the first-place finisher sang three times, the first-place and second-place finishers began to sing, which was repeated three times.

"Second place in First Class...Han Yupeng!"

Another official from Honglu Temple came down the steps, led Han Yupeng out of the queue, came to the royal road, walked behind Zhu Pingan, knelt down near the right side of the royal road, and knelt down to thank him.

Then came the third place in the first class, which was repeated three times. Officials from Honglu Temple also led them out of the queue, came to the back of Zhu Pingan and Han Yupeng, and knelt down to thank them.

After listening to the performance of the third place in the first class, Ouyang Zishi collapsed, his face was red and hot, I am not the number one pick, the second place is not me, and the top pick is not me! what the hell is this! Thinking about the compliments received by everyone before the results were released, and looking at it now, Ouyang Zishi wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

In fact, not only Ouyang Zishi, but also Mr. Yan Song in the main hall was so surprised that he didn't even take a breath...

The singing continues, but this time the singing is only sung once, and there is no need for officials from Honglu Temple to lead the procession out of the procession and walk along the royal road. These are benefits that only the top pick, second pick, and top pick can enjoy, and they are not yet qualified.

When he came in second place in the top two, Ouyang Zishi finally heard his name.

However, this belated roll call not only did not make Ouyang Zishi feel excited again, but also made him feel more embarrassed. He focused his eyes on the young man at the front of the royal road, and his heart was churning. Damn it, he should be standing there. s position! mine!

After the singing of the list was over, the Chuanlu official once again led the top three, the second place winner, and the top pick in the Enke Palace Examination forward again until they reached the steps leading to the steps from the royal road outside the main hall, and then stopped to wait for the gold list of the Palace Examination.

The position assigned to the official Zhu Ping'an is very special. Zhu Ping'an is at the front and in the middle, slightly ahead of the second and third picks. The three of them are almost in a triangle.

While waiting for the palace exam, Zhu Ping'an noticed that the first imperial stone under his feet was different. This stone was carved with a giant turtle, with a dragon on its back. His feet happened to land on the giant turtle. On the head of the turtle; maybe the giant turtle and the dragon's head are one. It was once said that the giant turtle is the dragon's head, the turtle's body, and the unicorn tail. No matter which way it is said, this carving is lifelike, making people feel like stepping on the head of a giant turtle and riding the wind and waves in the sea.

Sure enough, it is the champion, it is really an image, Zhu Ping'an hooked the corners of his lips.

The breeze is not cool, the sun is not dry, the breeze is blowing the sunshine, and it is shining on Zhu Pingan. At this moment, Zhu Pingan can't help but get excited. When he was a child, he herded cattle under the Nanshan Mountain, studied secretly outside the school, and practiced on the wooden board. Words, rising in the morning and going to bed in the evening...scenes after scenes kept appearing in front of my eyes, from the mountain village to the Jinluan Palace, everything was so incredible, both unexpected and reasonable.

In front of the palace, Pingce was offered the title of "the best".

Daming, here I come!
