The inns near Gongyuan were all overcrowded. After hundreds of scholars finished the exam, most of them chose to live here and wait for the list to be opened.

Although the inn here charges a little more expensive, it is mainly close to the nearest place. If you stay here, you will feel that the chance of high school will be higher. Those who can take the imperial examination have basically reached the "master" level, have long been lifted out of poverty, and have become figures at the gentry level, with great reputation, land and land. If you save three years of money and go to Beijing to take the exam, it would be a joke if you can't afford to stay in the inn. Moreover, most of them have a normal daily expenses.

In contrast, Chen Tang's overhead is naturally abnormal.

He came here and asked about five or six inns. Finally, there was one that still had an available room. He quickly paid the money and moved in.

The guests who live with them are basically scholars. When they meet, they don’t care whether they know each other before. Anyway, just a greeting or asking about their well-being is equivalent to getting to know each other.

The snow disaster that just passed had a profound impact on the capital and the entire northern part. The scholars lived in the inn and their lives were also greatly affected. They lacked food and drink, and for several days, they had no meat, vegetables and vegetables, and they could not buy them even if they had money, so they had to eat plain rice.

Fortunately, it finally survived. After the snow stopped and cleared, the supply of materials has recovered during this period, and it is already very satisfying to be able to eat meat occasionally.

After staying in the inn, Chen Tang rarely visited her. Except for going out for dinner, she stayed in the room for the rest of the time to cultivate her mind and nourish her energy. Other scholars are different. Although they rarely go out due to the cold weather, they gathered together in the inn, recited poems and wrote pairs, and often had some activities to and from all over the world, which seemed lively.

These are all human favors.

Chen Tang did not refuse favors, but he believed in the old saying: It is better to rely on oneself than rely on others!

Two or three days passed by.

On this day, it was the day when the list was released. The entire capital seemed to be moved by it. There is a poem to prove that our dynasty is the most praiseworthy, and the immortal list is famous for its dawn. The white horse neighs the wind and has thirty bridles, and the red family holds candles.

Before dawn, the scholars were dressed neatly and went out early, braved the bitter north wind to the tribute courtyard.

Although the time for the release of the list is fixed, no matter whether it arrives early or late, the list will always be posted at that time, but people hope to pass early and occupy a favorable position so that they can see the golden list as soon as possible.

Or, if everyone firmly believes that "the sincere heart is spiritual", the earlier you go, the more you can show your piety, and then God will favor it and make it famous on the list.

On the night before the list was opened, many scholars were unable to sleep and could not fall asleep, just like prisoners waiting for the verdict. If it weren't for the cold weather, they might have gone to the tribute court to watch. They couldn't sleep, so they simply sat until dawn and started to clean up. Those who worshiped God and those who wear amulets, all have their own tricks.

After getting it done, I started to rush to the tribute courtyard.

People came and went, and the noise was mixed. Chen Tang was woken up early and lost his sleepiness. When he finished washing up and came downstairs, he saw that it was empty and very quiet.

"Shopkeeper, what are you eating for breakfast?"

The shopkeeper saw him and asked, "Young Master, don't you go and read the list?"

Chen Tang smiled and said, "It's still more than half an hour before the list is opened. Now I'm going to blow the air? Even if I blow the air, I have to fill my stomach first."

The shopkeeper also smiled, feeling that the young scholar was really sure and his performance was completely different from others. I don’t know if he was so kind of heart or full of confidence.

Not long after, a large bowl of noodles was placed in front of Chen Tang, steaming hot. Although there was no meat, there was a poached egg, which was considered as adding dishes.

In fact, the inn started to cook eight-treasure porridge early in the morning and provided it to the scholars, which meant that it was a good sign. But at this point, the porridge had been eaten up, so I had to cook noodles.

Chen Tang didn't care, he could eat it. After eating the noodles, he took a short rest and walked slowly towards the tribute courtyard with a bookcase on his back.

The system and rules of the emperor's examination are different from the imperial examinations in memory. The biggest point is that there is no such part of the imperial examination. In addition, there is no process of the palace examination. In other words, all the rankings of Jinshi, first, second, and third grades, have been decided before the results are released. The Jinshi who were selected will choose a date to attend the Qionglin Banquet. Only then will there be a chance to see the emperor.

Chen Tang remembers that the palace examination in my impression is to directly meet the saint, which is equivalent to an interview. It is not an exaggeration to say that "a scholar by appearance" is a crooked person. Those who are not well-known and cannot be ranked among the top even if the article is well written. If it is sad, it is not uncommon to throw it directly from the first class to the third class.

In Yin Kingdom, there is no such thing as a palace examination, but when the students apply for the exam, the registration information, including physical appearance, was described and recorded by a dedicated person, and there were portraits as evidence. This information can be used as a reference when final rankings are determined.

The final ranking must be submitted to the emperor for review and decided with a red pen.

Although it is not directed, it is almost the same. After all, at the Qionglin Banquet, the emperor will still meet a group of new Jinshi. If there is a mistake, the person responsible for reviewing the information of the scholar will be unable to escape and will be designated as "the crime of deceiving the emperor" and the heads will be put on the ground.

Such rules and regulations have both pros and cons, and are ultimately different products under different historical developments, so they naturally have their existence rationality.

The emperor admitted Jinshi in the examination and was divided into three grades, one grade three, one grade three, and one grade three, and was ranked as the Jinshi; dozens of people in the second grade are given the Jinshi; more than three hundred people in the third grade are named as the same Jinshi. Generally speaking, if you rank in the third grade, you basically start with idle officials like the document. After all, you have many official hats, but the popular real-power official positions are always very popular.

The process of the emperor's examination and the examination is similar to the examination and examination. The number of candidates admitted to each province is only a few dozen people, and ten or eight fewer. The minor official can read out the names of all the candidates who passed the examination loudly.

However, the emperor's test was different. There were as many as three or four hundred people in the third class alone. If you read it one by one, it would probably not be enough for this process in one day. It also seemed tedious and verbose, so the reading was cancelled and the list was posted directly and made public, so you can just take a look.

However, when you reach the second level, you will still read it loudly to express your grandeur. After reading it, you will post the gold list.

There are three lists in total, from low to high, with clear order.

At this time, outside the tribute wall, there was a large area of ​​people, and it was very spectacular, with almost no place to stand.

This is the benefit of coming in line early and occupying the position. If you arrive late, you can't squeeze in at all.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tang couldn't help but gasp, and then took a walk around, and finally gave up, and simply ran to the streets and alleys on the side.

There are several stalls selling food there. One of them actually sells roasted sweet potatoes, which has a strong fragrance.

Chen Tang didn't understand why there were sweet potatoes in this different time and space. It was probably just a small-scale planting and production, and Panzhou had never seen them. But it was delicious. He immediately bought a large one, peeled it, and ate it warmly.

After a while, several people came and they turned out to be familiars, including Fan Xuan and his gang, Wang Ziyu and others; there were two or three strange faces among them, who had never seen them before.

It can be seen that a relatively stable small circle has been formed between them.

Everyone was surprised to see Chen Tang eating roasted sweet potatoes here. Fan Xuan asked with a smile: "Why don't Brother Chen look at the list?"

Chen Tang replied: "It's almost the same, but where can I see where the Golden List is?"

Guo Xiangheng snorted and said, "Who told you to sleep in? You got up late."

Chen Tang said: "Aren't you the same?"

Prince Yu laughed: "I'm waiting for someone, someone is guarding under the wall."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tang understood that it was coming. The harsh climate and wealthy scholars from wealthy families were willing to come and wait early and get cold. They would send their servants to queue up to read the list. If there is any news, they could come and report it as soon as possible.

Fan Xuan said: "How about I ask someone to help Brother Chen see the list?"

Chen Tang said: "No need, anyway, if you look at it or not, as long as you win, you will be there, it's just a little later."

Fan Yuan muttered, "I'm quite angry, and I'm talking like you're sure to win."

Chen Tang did not have a verbal dispute with him and continued to eat sweet potatoes.

At this moment, I heard the sound of "Dang", and the gong rang, and the time for the opening list was up!

The crowd started to stir...
Chapter completed!
