The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Three days passed in a flash.

Gu Jingzhi's identity and resume were also turned upside down by the people from the Internal Guard.

However, Emperor Xia found this result quite intriguing. He looked at Tianshu with a burning gaze and suddenly said with a smile, "As you said, Gu Jingzhi has now separated from the Ning Marquis Mansion and is living on his own?"

"Your Majesty, this incident happened just one day before the results of the imperial examination were announced, and the chief steward of the Ning Marquisate personally went to Jingzhao Prefecture to handle the matter. It can't be fake!"

"Haha! This sounds interesting!"

Emperor Xia laughed and said, "Gu Jingzhi's talent is clearly unquestionable. How could that old man Gu Heng abandon such a son?"

"This……"

Tianshu hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't guess what Ning Houfu is thinking!"

Ever since Gu Jingzhi entered Emperor Xia's sight, their Inner Guard Department did not dare to be negligent. In the past three days, they sent a large number of people and used various means to finally uncover what happened to Gu Jingzhi twenty years ago!

The reason why it was so fast was probably due to Gu Jingzhi's experience over the past twenty years.

How to say……

It’s so simple!

Either I was ignored or bullied by my brothers, and then all I did was study.

It is hard to imagine how unpopular he is. As the eldest son... he is not even included in the Gu family's genealogy. Even someone like Tianshu who has lived in the dark for many years finds it unbelievable!

Emperor Xia didn't have that many inner thoughts. After finding out Gu Jingzhi's true identity, he laughed cheerfully and said, "This way, it will save us a lot of trouble!"

Tianshu was confused by the simulated responses of the couple.

However, he did not dare to ask the emperor's thoughts. Coincidentally, an official from the Ministry of Rites brought over several examination papers, asking Emperor Xia to choose the top three candidates of this spring examination with a light touch.

Emperor Xia directly found Gu Jingzhi's copy and personally approved it.

Tianshu was standing aside, noticing it slightly out of the corner of his eye, and was suddenly shocked. He thought of what Emperor Xia had just said and Gu Jingzhi's background.

Just one simple sentence...it says a lot!

……

Ning'anfang, a house of neither big nor small.

Gu Jingzhi lay on the ground like a fish, his hands and feet in a very strange position. His face was flushed red, and he looked extremely uncomfortable.

Soon, the sweat soaked the clothes, and the ground was gradually wet with sweat as well.

Suddenly, he heard a series of "cracking" sounds inside his body, which seemed to have some kind of rhythm.

A good while.

"call!"

Gu Jingzhi heaved a long sigh of relief, then with a somersault, he stood up. He glanced at his hands and said subconsciously, "I never thought this physical skill combined with the medicine would be so magical!"

I waved my fist and felt a surge of strength in my body.

In his previous life, as the king of the underground 'archaeology' world, he obtained a mysterious scroll from the underground world.

Nei Li records a set of physical techniques and a prescription, which are said to have been used by Emperor Qianlong during the Great Celestial Dynasty.

While his achievements in civil and military affairs were controversial, the man who called himself "Ten Perfect" was undoubtedly long-lived. Gu Jingzhi immediately felt that the fact that he lived so long as an emperor was a major factor in his success.

However, in his previous life, he did not have the ability to collect century-old medicinal herbs, so he could only use prescriptions of lower grade.

I never thought that one day I would travel back to ancient times and find that century-old medicinal herbs were not only not available everywhere, but could be bought.

So I spent these three days using that set of physical skills. The postures and movements that I couldn't complete in my previous life were completed easily in this life. It was as if I was reborn.

Thinking about the fact that he had never made any progress in practicing traditional Chinese martial arts in his previous life, Gu Jingzhi still felt a little excited!

Walking out of the room with ease, he saw Lao Huang coming towards him: "Sir, the hot water is ready for you!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded with a smile, and then washed off the sweat comfortably, and the whole person immediately became refreshed. Old Huang was cleaning the yard, and when he saw him come out, he couldn't help but smile.

"Sir, the palace examination results are out today, aren't you going to take a look?"

"There's nothing to see!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled faintly and said, "This palace examination is different from the metropolitan examination. It just ranks you, but the most important thing is what official position the court will confer!"

As far as this is concerned, Gu Jingzhi really has nothing to worry about!

Not to mention the local governance policies he wrote on the exam paper, the Enfeoffment Order, known as the greatest conspiracy in history, and the unprecedented cabinet system were definitely deeply engraved in Emperor Xia's mind.

An emperor who could ask such a question in front of all the officials in the court is definitely not a kind-hearted person.

The fact that Emperor Xia could stand beside him for so long was enough to explain everything. Even if his ranking in the palace examination was average, he probably wouldn't have to waste several years in the capital waiting for an official position like other candidates.

Gu Jingzhi and his servant were talking when they suddenly heard someone outside the courtyard shouting, "Gu Jingzhi, a native of Jingzhao, the top scholar..."

Old Huang was stunned. He looked at Gu Jingzhi and said, "Sir! The first place... the first place..."

Gu Jingzhi was also slightly startled, but he immediately reacted and pointed towards the door.

Old Huang immediately stepped forward and opened the door. A group of people walked in from outside, shouting congratulations and the like. Old Huang gave them money one by one. It seemed that they had been prepared for this.

……

The procedure after the results were announced was naturally to meet the emperor.

Gu Jingzhi wore a Jinhua black gauze hat and the red top scholar robe bestowed by the emperor, and met Emperor Xia with a group of fellow Jinshi.

"To win the first prize in the imperial examination, to have one's name inscribed on the Wild Goose Pagoda, to have the star Kuixing point pointed at the stars, to be the top scorer, has always been the aspiration of scholars and candidates. As the saying goes, young men have lofty ambitions, promising to be the best in the world! I now grant you the right to ride on horseback and parade through the Imperial Street, the top scholar..."

Emperor Xia looked at Gu Jingzhi and said with a smile: "Let's start!"

Gu Jingzhi suppressed the slight excitement in his heart, led the current Jinshi to thank Emperor Xia, and then began his first horse-riding parade in two lifetimes.

Gu Jingzhi rode on a tall horse, with the runner-up and third place winners on his side. The three of them rode their horses at the front.

Li Yi, the third place winner, looked at Gu Jingzhi, who was as handsome as a crown, with an elegant demeanor, and dressed in a striking red robe. He said with a slightly sour tone: "Looking at Brother Gu's demeanor... I'm afraid we can only be supporting roles today!"

Cheng Yu, the runner-up, laughed out loud when he heard this: "Brother Li, my second place is nothing, but you, the third place..."

It's no wonder he laughed out loud. It has always been an unwritten rule that the third place winner must be the best-looking.

Who wants to?

The number one scholar of this year's exam is not only younger than them, but his appearance and demeanor surpass those of the third place scholar. If he were not wearing the number one scholar's robe, those girls who were eagerly waiting for him on the streets, as well as the wives of the wealthy families, would probably think that Gu Jingzhi was the third place scholar!
