Because he was worried about being discovered by others, Wu Junyi didn't stay long. He personally sent Shen Yu out. Before leaving, he patted Shen Yu on the shoulder and said, "Bo Jin, in the future, I will be waiting for you to help each other and achieve something." business."

"Your Majesty has high hopes, and the students will do their part." Before Shen Yu could say a few beautiful words, Shen Yu gently pushed him out of the palace door.

The eunuch who brought him was waiting there, and when he saw him, he smiled and bowed, "Shen Juren, please come with your servant."

When Shen Yu walked out, she couldn't help but turned around and looked at the palace—the interior of the palace was not as solemn and luxurious as the Jinshen Palace, and had a certain style of its own.Zan Yuan...Emperor Ming Xuan didn't come out for some reason.

"Shen Juren does not know that this Wenhua Palace was originally the residence of His Highness the Crown Prince. Later, when His Majesty was in charge of the country, he also invited all the adults here to discuss matters." The father-in-law noticed Shen Yu's movements and said with a smile as he walked .

Shen Yu understood the hidden meaning, and smiled at Gong Gongbao, without pointing it out, and just asked casually: "Dare to ask your father-in-law's name, where can you get it?"

Li Qi smiled and narrowed his eyes. "Don't dare to be, the slave's surname is Li, and now he is running errands by His Majesty's side."

Shen Yu didn't quite know the rank of the servants, but even so, he knew the status and treatment of the people around the emperor.So he reached into his sleeve, took out a purse, and handed it over with his own hand, "I'm really sorry to bother my father-in-law to run away today."

"No, no, no." Li Qi hurriedly refused.If it was someone else, he would accept it generously.But this is Shen Juren's stuff, even His Majesty has never received it, how dare he accept it! "This is His Majesty's order, and the slave is also following the order."

He was so frightened that he didn't dare to say any more, and sent Shen Yu out of the Meridian Gate along the palace wall, and there was a carriage waiting outside. "Shen Juren, is your family coming to welcome you?"

Of course the Shen family was there, so Shen Yu thanked Eunuch Li and walked out alone.

He was delayed in the Wenhua Palace for a while, but it was about the same time as most of the candidates to hand in the papers, and the family members didn't care, so they directly pulled the car back to Shen's house.

The next day, the Ministry of Rites officially released the list.Wu Junyi in the palace issued a decree to the world, and the big imperial list outside the imperial city was posted, with hundreds of names and places of origin clearly and clearly, and the one on the far right who started was Shen Yu, Jinan County, Qizhou.

The servant of the Shen family ran so fast that he couldn't even catch his breath, "The number one scholar! Our boss is the number one scholar!"

This is not the end yet, we have to go to the palace for a cutscene and listen to the roll call.

All the candidates in Zhongdi received brand-new Jinshi robes from the Imperial College, and went home to practice a salute, preparing for the grand ceremony.

Shen Yu became the No. [-] scholar in ignorance, and became a hot figure in the Imperial College for a while.Even Guo Yi, who had a good relationship with him, also went up.

Guo Yi also won the 76th place. Although the ranking is not high, it is something that many people can't get.What's more, his family background is prominent, and his father is in a high position, so there are naturally countless people who cling to him.

Guo Yi didn't think too much about it, he only believed that he and Shen Yu had been friends since they were young and were lifelong friends.As for those who slander in times of adversity and cling to people in times of wealth, just ignore them.Shen Yu also didn't know whether to praise Mr. Guo for his pure kindness or for not caring about disciplining his son for raising such a simple and upright person.

No matter what others think, Guo Yi and Shen Yu thanked the teacher together, and had a few drinks with the second place Tanhua.

The top three in the general examination is also the top three in the palace examination, but the ranking has dropped.Shen Yu, who was mentioned to the front, still felt a little guilty for Yuan Yuan Yang Feng.However, this No. [-] player has a good heart. Not only does he not care about the ranking, but he also praises Shen Yu's strategies and theories. Those who doubt his talent must take a good look.Although Chen Hongpeng didn't talk much, he was also a good-tempered person, and the three of them complemented each other very well.

March [-]th is the day when the Ceremony of Chuanlu is held.

More than 100 Xinke Jinshi put on scarves and were led by the ceremony officer into the hall.

Standing at the front, Shen Yu could clearly see the steps, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs on the steps, and... at the top, on the throne, Wu Junyi with a sincere smile.

Shen Yu didn't know whether the person in front of her was Zan Yuan or the emperor.Although reason told him it was the latter.But the man's gaze was too gentle, just like the words that involved the past in the womb a few days ago, the gentleness did not seem to come from an emperor.

Without allowing Shen Yu to think too much, the grand ceremony began.The ceremonial officer led the Jinshi of the new department to prostrate themselves on the ground and salute. After the three salutes, Wu Junyi said, "Excuse me."

The ceremony officer sang: "The ceremony is over!"

Then, Li Qi stepped forward, took the roster from the case, put his hands on the prime minister, and after Jia Shengde took it, he handed it over to the Minister of Rites.The old Shangshu held the roster tremblingly, and only read a cliché at the beginning.

Finally, King Yu will announce the ranking.This also shows the new emperor's trust in the emperor's uncle.

"No. [-] scholar, Shen Yu."

Shen Yu already knew the ranking, even so, after hearing those two words being read out, her mind was still blank.He took a deep breath and knelt down under the gentle gaze of the man.

After that, it was the second place, Tanhua, and then in turn.

After more than 100 names were called, King Yu's voice was almost hoarse.Wu Junyi hurriedly asked him to rest, and the ceremonial officer led everyone to pay respects again and then fell flat. Wu Junyi announced the opening of the Qionglin Banquet, and the grand ceremony of passing on people was considered to be over.

The Qionglin Banquet was the first time that most of the poor scholars participated in the banquet, and it was inevitable that there would be a little embarrassment, so everyone just laughed it off and let it go.But this year it is more serious:

In previous years, only the Prime Minister, the King of Yu, the Minister of Rites, a few chief examiners and the examiners of each room participated, but this year the emperor actually came in person.

Now, the vast majority of candidates don't know what to eat.Especially those from poor backgrounds are even more trembling, for fear of making jokes.

Shen Yu is the number one scholar and enjoys the treatment of being alone at the table. His table case is also the one closest to the emperor among the candidates.But he took it indifferently, and used the dishes calmly.

The Jinshi behind him could only look at his back enviously—look at his demeanor!It's strange that at such a young age, he can become the number one scholar!

Naturally, Wu Junyi also had a single table for one person, and the dishes on his table were also the most abundant.Even though he came here temporarily, the Ministry of Rites did not prepare his order, and the dishes added hastily were as perfect as possible.

"Hiss——" Li Qi, who was standing by the side, took a breath when he saw that there was meat and fish on the table, but Wu Junyi only smiled lightly, and said aloud: "This dish of roasted venison, give it to me." For the No. [-] Scholar. Let’s give this steamed sea bass to the No. [-] and Tan Hua."

Li Qi immediately followed his orders and took away the venison and the goddamned perch.

Yang Feng and Chen Hongpeng sat at the same table, and after receiving this reward, they also got up together with Wu Junyi, expressing their thanks in trepidation.

"I'm in a filial piety, and it's not suitable for drinking, so please ask Mr. Zhou to entertain the new scholars." Wu Junyi signaled them to be polite, greeted Zhou Kuang, and said: "These meaty things can't be wasted, give it to the rest Jinshi."

The allowances of the adults are naturally generous, and they will not be jealous of the students.But those students who secretly envied that the top three were given food by the emperor himself were delighted by this surprise, their eyes sparkled and their cheeks flushed.

Afterwards, Zhou Kuang got up and offered a glass of wine to the students, but the Jinshi dared not accept the gift, so they stood up one after another to thank them.

Ordinarily Qionglin Yanhe should compose a poem, but you adults still remember what the emperor said during the palace examination, no one dares to be the first bird.And because it was inconvenient for the new emperor Xiaozhong to drink alcohol, everyone was extremely restrained, just touched their lips, and put down the wine cups at the same time.

It was Wu Junyi who thought it was boring to just eat, and said: "There is a precedent for exploring flowers in apricot gardens in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, why not follow suit?"

When Wu Junyi said this, he originally wanted to appoint Shen Yu as an envoy.According to the Tang Dynasty, the two youngest and most handsome Jinshi were chosen as envoys to visit the famous gardens and return from picking flowers.Unexpectedly, his words were misunderstood as soon as he spoke.

"It just so happens that our Tanhua Lang is also very handsome." Jia Shengde tapped his knuckles on the table and said in a very approachable way.

Chen Hongpeng got up to thank him.Wu Junyi had no choice but to nod and order the servant to pick flowers in the palace because of him.

When Chen Hongpeng was ordered to return, the flower basket in his hand was filled with many flowers: kapok, crabapple, winter jasmine...there are countless.His face was slightly red, and he presented the flower basket to Wu Junyi.

"The flower hunter is picking flowers to welcome the champion, what will you do for me?" Wu Junyi said so, but he took out the brightest oncidium from the basket with his own hands, and gave it to Shen Yu.

Shen Yu was stunned and could only get up to thank her.Wu Junyi ordered people to distribute the flowers to other people, so that these new scholars would show off their flowers.

These Xinke Scholars were young and old, and when they were proud of the spring breeze, they were not shy. They put flowers on their heads one after another, commented on each other, and then made fun of Chen Hongpeng, a flower prospector.

Seeing the heroic and suave looks of this group of young people, the officials also nodded one after another, lamenting that they deserved to be the talents they picked by themselves.

Wu Junyi tilted his head slightly, only looking at the person in the front with a smiling hairpin and picturesque eyes.He remembered that this orchid was planted in front of Qianqing Palace.

After the Qionglin banquet, it was the most anticipated part of all the people in the capital: parade.As usual, the imperial court dispatched a guard of honor for the top three, and gongs were played to clear the way, calling the three talented scholars who were envied by scholars all over the world to boast of their fame.

The three of them are the top three in the exam, they are already familiar with each other's faces, they are very familiar with talking and laughing at the Qionglin banquet, they nodded at each other, and each jumped on the horse.

Daqi has a tradition of catching his son-in-law under the list.Whether it is a high-ranking official looking at the family or a noble family, they all value the son-in-law of a Jinshi background as a husband-in-law.Every time when the list is released, each family is inquiring about unmarried Jinshi, and they want to take a look at their faces while they are parading in the street.Although only the top three will be ready to rely on, others can also prepare their own horses and follow behind to show off.

The top three are all young and promising young talents, and they all ride horses with hairpin flowers, beaming with joy.The eldest, Chen Hongpeng, is in his early twenties. He is proud of the spring breeze today, and he is also full of heroism, living up to his reputation as a Tanhualang.The big girls and the young ladies all threw sachets and flowers at him in unison.

Because Shen Yu walked in the front, and was young and unmarried, she was full of energy, and she was often hit.

He didn't know that every time he dodged, someone's heart would be pulled hard.

"Your Majesty, shall we go back?" In the private room of the most famous restaurant in the capital, Li Qi worriedly asked the Holy Majesty who was leaving the palace in disguise.

Wu Junyi remained silent, his hand on the table was clenched into a fist, and his veins were bursting.
