The eunuch immediately replied, "He once spoke up for Yang Wuduan while drunk in a brothel and criticized Your Majesty behind his back, saying that you were too harsh on Yang Wuduan."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zhen immediately became angry.
"What!"
This world is ultimately a world of knowledge.
So many things are still somewhat different from real history.
At least there is no such person as Yang Wuduan in real history.
But there is a Liu Sanbian.
So if you want to know about Yang Wuduan's deeds, just bring up Liu Sanbian.
The two men had similar experiences, both possessing remarkable talent, but neither was favored by the emperor. Ultimately, they were punished by the emperor, who ordered them to wait until they were fifty to participate in the imperial examinations.
As we all know, emperors are very concerned about their reputation.
If someone says he's mean behind your back, he'll naturally feel bad.
Then he picked up the brush on the table without hesitation and crossed out Gu Tingye's name.
"Hmph, you said I was too mean to Yang Wuduan. Well, then I'll let you and Yang Wuduan accompany each other!"
After marking off the names, he angrily folded the list and prepared to throw it back to Lord Wang.
But at this moment, the first name on the list appeared in his sight again.
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but recall a scene from more than two months ago.
Then his heart suddenly softened.
Finally, he reluctantly retracted his half-raised hand.
After a long silence, Zhao Zhen thought angrily.
"Hmph, you're lucky, kid. I'll let you go this time. If you say something foolish after drinking again, I'll punish you severely."
After saying this, he opened the list again and added Gu Tingye's name to the end.
Then he threw the list to Lord Wang standing opposite him.
Although this caused Gu Tingye's ranking to drop by nearly 200 places.
But it still made the list after all.
From this moment on, the fate of Gu Tingye and his father-in-law has changed.
I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for Gu Tingye.
But anyway.
In this era, the status of civil officials far exceeded that of military officials.
Given a choice, everyone would choose the former.
Even if the grade is a little lower..
Chapter 187 Results
the next day.
Lu Mansion.
Early in the morning, Sheng Shulan pulled Lu Xiao out of bed.
"Husband, today is the day the exam results are announced, you can't sleep in."
Lu Xiao was a bit grumpy, and after hearing this, he just groaned and immediately pulled Sheng Shulan into his arms, hugging her tightly.
"No need to look, I will definitely be number one."
At home now, he can naturally speak a little wildly.
And this isn't arrogance, it's confidence.
He knows his articles very well. Even without the added bonus of literary style, they would most likely be number one.
What's more, there is.
So, Lu Xiao wasn't worried about rankings at all.
Instead of looking at the charts, you might as well get more sleep.
Sheng Shulan struggled to get up and said.
"No, although I have confidence in you, I can't rest assured unless I see it with my own eyes. Hurry up, I have the carriage ready."
Lu Xiao still looked listless.
"I really don't want to go. If you really have to, ask Mingyue and Ziyue to check the results and report back to you. It will be over soon."
Mingyue and Ziyue were both maids that came with Sheng Shulan's dowry.
I used to be with them when I was in Yuyang.
When we arrived in Bianjing, we naturally took them with us.
These two girls are actually quite pretty.
She is only slightly inferior to Sheng Shulan.
I usually help Sheng Shulan a lot.
Especially when Sheng Shulan's second and seventh troops were defeated, she would call these two out to help.
Although the two girls don't have any status at present.
But in the Lu Mansion, their status was second only to Lu Xiao and Sheng Shulan.
While Lu Xiao was arguing with his wife, several of his classmates and family members were already waiting at the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall.
They all looked anxiously towards the Imperial Examination Hall.
The final year of the seventh grade is about to end, and the results are about to be announced.
The gate of the Imperial Examination Hall was opened from the inside, and a group of Imperial Examination Hall officials came out carrying a roll of thick white cloth.
"The results are out! The results are out!"
Following the shouts, countless people rushed forward.
The moment the list was posted, everyone began to quickly search for the name they were looking for.
There were also some well-dressed people who were staring at the students around them stealthily.
Especially those who are good-looking are their main focus.
These people all want to find a son-in-law from the list.
Such things are very common in Bianjing City.
This happens at the end of each trial.
There were quite a few people who actually caught their son-in-law.
There are both good and bad marriages.
Can't generalize.
At this moment, two girls, holding hands and escorted by several maids, quickly passed through the crowd and ran to the bottom of the list.
The two girls were Sheng Xiaoliu and his sister Sheng Rulan.
The two of them quickly glanced over the names one by one.
A moment later, the sharp-eyed Sheng Xiaoliu immediately shouted excitedly.
"I got it, I got it, my second brother got it!"
Sheng Rulan, who was standing next to him, immediately asked, "Where is it? Where is it?"
Sheng Xiaoliu pointed at the list and said, "Thirteenth! Thirteenth!"
13th place.
This ranking is definitely not low.
You know, everyone who is qualified to take the imperial examination is a lucky charm.
Anyone who made it onto the list, regardless of their rank, was far more valuable than the so-called top scorer in the college entrance examination in later generations.
At this time, Sheng Changbai also came to his sister and looked at his name on the list. Even the usually calm man couldn't help but show excitement on his face.
"Thank God!"
Sheng Changbai muttered to himself.
There was a sense of relief in his tone.
However, Gu Tingye, who was standing next to him at this moment, had a look of disappointment on his face.
Sheng Changbai noticed this and immediately asked.
"Why, didn't you win? That shouldn't be the case. I know how knowledgeable you are."
Gu Tingye shook his head and said, "I won."
Sheng Changbai asked in confusion, "Since you won, why are you still frowning?"
"You'll know once you take a look."
After Gu Tingye finished speaking, he pointed to a position on the list.
Sheng Changbai looked up and saw his name the next moment.
"No. 237, Gu Tingye."
Those bright words, hanging at the end of the list, were quite eye-catching.
Although Sheng Changbai was still confused at the moment, he still comforted his good friend.
"It's okay. What's the big deal about being last? At least you won, which is better than most people."
Gu Tingye also understood this and nodded immediately.
"I know, winning is better than not winning. Don't worry, I'm not that stubborn."
On the other side, several people dressed as servants saw Gu Tingye's name on the list and immediately rushed out of the crowd with joy on their faces.
Soon they came to a carriage on the side of the road.
"Master, the second young master passed the exam, ranking 237th, just in time for the list."
After hearing this, Lord Gu in the carriage finally relaxed his clenched fists.
He said this with an excited expression on his face.
Seeking flowers guilty age VI 罒溜齐 VIII 栮巴0
“I finally didn’t embarrass myself this time.”
As for the so-called 237th place, he didn't care at all.
With his status as the Ningyuan Marquis, as long as his son can pass the exam.
Whether you come first or last, it won't have much impact on your future.
It's not like his Gu family has no one in the imperial court.
I just didn't have the use of these connections before.
But now, it’s finally available.
However, the little Qin sitting next to him sighed.
"Oh, God bless you, Erlang has finally made something of himself. I never thought that he, who used to love to spend his days drinking and partying, would actually have such a talent for studying. God is truly blessing our Gu family!"
This sounds like nothing wrong at first.
But Lord Gu beside him suddenly became angry.
"Hmph, if he hadn't been living a life of debauchery, how could he have been at the bottom of the list? I'll break his legs when I get home."
This shows that this young Qinshi has mastered Lord Gu's temper to perfection, as gentle and silent as a gentle rain.
It seems like he is praising Gu Tingye, but in fact he is setting a trap for him at every step.
