Then, one after another, excited shouts of "I won!" rang out.

In short, most of the people who made the list shouted with excitement or cried with joy.

But there were also those who failed the exam, their faces were pale, their shoulders were trembling slightly, their eyes were red, and their heads were hung very low.

However, remembering what the Prime Minister had just said and thinking that they still had a chance, she instantly cheered up and walked back with firm steps.

"Xizhi...you, look at the name at the top..." Mo Yi and her good friend Shen Xizhi squeezed through the crowd, their eyes fixed on the name at the top of the gold list, their voices trembling and full of disbelief.

She rubbed her eyes and looked over again to make sure she was not mistaken. She quickly pulled Shen Xizhi's arm and pointed to the top of the list, saying excitedly: "Xizhi, I'm not mistaken, you are number one, you are number one!"

Shen Xizhi looked in the direction her finger pointed, his eyes fell on the name at the top of the list, his pupils shrank slightly, his lips slightly opened, he wanted to say something but didn't say it. He just slowly raised the corners of his lips, and then his smile grew wider.

To others, this kind of expression might mean that this person has a very strong character, as they didn't even jump up and yell in excitement.

But Mo Yi understood Shen Xizhi, she was just relatively introverted.

What's more...

Mo Yi held her friend's arm and could clearly feel her body trembling slightly. It was the joy that welled up from the bottom of her heart. She seemed to be able to feel her heart beating like a drum. Thinking about it, Mo Yi couldn't help but find it funny, and at the same time, she was excited for her friend.

Not far away, Xiao Yao and Fei Buli scanned the list and saw that one was second and the other was thirty-sixth. They both hugged their friend excitedly, "Buli, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to you too, Ayao, we all won!" Fei Buli said excitedly with a little redness in the corners of his eyes.

"......Yes, we all did it! We all won!" Xiao Yao cried with joy.

......

After a while, the two separated and smiled at each other, "Let's go, let's go, we must celebrate!"

Fei Buli waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Also not far away, Mo Yi raised his chin and pulled Shen Xizhi to celebrate!

After crying, laughing, and feeling sad, everyone slowly walked back, leaving space for people outside to come in and watch.

However, more than a dozen people in the crowd looked back and forth several times, but did not see their names on the list. Their faces changed slightly, they looked at each other quickly, and turned away without saying a word.

Walking to a quiet and deserted alley, their faces were all a little solemn, and one of them asked in confusion: "Didn't the higher-ups say that our names would be on the list? How could it be..."

"I don't know. I think something went wrong. We should report it to the leader immediately." One of them said solemnly.

"It's a pity that you don't have a chance!" A cold and teasing voice sounded.

The sudden sound startled more than a dozen people, but before they could react, they saw several cold lights flashing, and everyone fell to the ground, covering their necks. One of them looked at the several men in black in front of him in disbelief, only to feel that their speed just now was abnormally agile, like ghosts in the dark night, and their swordsmanship was swift and deadly.

Then the next moment, she was dead with her eyes wide open.

Mingyu approached slowly, confirmed that they were dead as dead as could be, made a "tsk" sound, waved his hand and asked his men to clean up, and then he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The largest and most prosperous teahouse in Beijing - Guanjing Tower.

Yan Yunqi and Ruan Jinan sat by the window on the second floor, looking at the crowds of people below. As a princess of a country, Ruan Jinan couldn't help but say with emotion, "These are the pillars of the country!"

"Historically, no matter which dynasty or country, the court has always been dominated by the powerful aristocratic families. These families control the government with their intricate power and influence, leaving the poor with no place to stand. As a result, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to become officials in the court."

"Now, the great emperor of Daqi is wise and brave. He has resolutely implemented this system against all odds, allowing many people from poor families to enter the officialdom with their own talents and knowledge and realize their ambitions. Such a courageous monarch is truly admirable!"

After saying this, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly, her eyes full of respect and admiration for Luo Qingzhi.

Thinking of his own country, Ruan Jinan began to think about something.

Yan Yunqi's eyes slowly swept across the faces below, each with a different expression, as if he could see through their expressions to see through everyone's emotional fluctuations. He could not help but nod slightly to show his agreement when Jin An's words of emotion rang in his ears.

His voice was light, but the weight of his words seemed to be a thousand pounds. "Yes, now the poor students have gone through untold hardships and have come here step by step. They are about to step into the court of Daqi and become officials. They come from the people and understand the sufferings of the people better. Their voices are the real voices of the people."

After a pause, he continued, "The rise of poor students can break the long-standing monopoly of the aristocratic families on government affairs and change the bad habit of appointing officials based solely on relationships and backgrounds, so that truly talented and capable people can realize their ambitions, so that talents emerge in large numbers in the court, injecting fresh blood into the court and bringing new ideas and vitality."

"Only honest officials who are dedicated to the public and care about the people can make the court more fair and just, maintain public order, and protect rights and interests. Only then will the people be at peace and the country will prosper!"

Speaking of this, Yan Yunqi also has great expectations for those students, hoping that they will not forget their original aspirations and remember to be good officials serving the country and the people.

When his friend said this, Ruan Jinan couldn't help but look at him blankly.

Noticing that he was being scrutinized, Yan Yunqi tilted his head to look at Ruan Jinan, with a puzzled look on his face: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"......It's nothing. I just think that you can say such words that show your concern for the country and the people. If you were a woman, you would definitely be a good official serving the country and the people in the future!" Ruan Jinan laughed and praised repeatedly.

However, she sighed helplessly in her heart. In this era, men were not allowed to enter the court. In the general environment of the times, almost all women did not allow men to be better than them, otherwise they would not think of hiding their identities...

Thinking about his own identity, Ruan Jinan felt heavy in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yunqi was stunned at first, then shook his head and said nothing.

how to say?

As a modern man, he has lived in an era of peace and gender equality for many years, so he really does not agree with this feudal idea. It is wishful thinking to think that he can break this ideological shackles by himself.

After a moment of silence, Yan Yunqi said softly, "I think that maybe one day, all men in the world will be able to go to school, learn to read and write, and broaden their horizons like women. Then, they will no longer be just vassals of the family, and no longer be supporting roles in life."

"They have their own thoughts and ambitions. They can become the people they want to be, and they can also contribute their talents and wisdom to the country."
