After Zhao Ji tore open the seals of these two test papers, he found that one was Li Hong in Guangxi and Liu Ziyi, the other was Liu Ziyi, Jianzhou. Liu Ziyi's ranking in Jinshi was too low and was not suitable to directly position the top scorer. He was entangled between Li Hong and Gao Chong.

It is not easy for Li Hong to be the top scorer after taking the exam for more than ten years. Zhao Ji just mentioned the key points of Li Hong as the top scorer; but when he thought about Gao Chong's poems, he was a little reluctant to let go. He put down his pen and picked up Gao Chong's masterpiece again.

"Since you want such a loyal minister, why bother to suppress him again?" Zhao Ji thought about it and was ready to be the top scholar.

"Does the emperor have any doubts?" Cai You saw Zhao Ji's hesitation and asked.

"Oh! I have selected these three parts as the top three, so you can arrange the rest! But it's still a little bit undecided, which is the first of this Gao Chong or Li Hong."

"Gao Chong? Could it be that he is the real dumb king! How could he be the top scorer?" Cai You was stunned and quickly reminded him. This guy asked me to spread rumors that he is the dumb king. You can't call him the top scorer. Isn't this slap me in the face?

Zhao Ji slapped his head suddenly, and he almost forgot about this matter, so he picked up the pen and prepared to order Li Hong.

Tong Guan also said: "Emperor, although this Gao Chong has been deprived of the title of King of Honor, after all, he is a nobleman, so I should suppress him!"

Zhao Ji deeply agreed and decided to make a decision. Cai Zi suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I'm asking for advice. This Gao Chong is really arrogant. He shot Xiao Liang on the school ground and asked for advice and slander our allies. According to me, such people should not be hired."

When the others heard this, they thought it was not good. Zhao Ji's hand also stopped. Although his face was calm, his heart was surging.

"What's wrong? Are you so unanimously opposed to Gao Chong this time? Then I have to promote him even more. I will definitely order him to be the top scorer this time and let him be this loyal minister."

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. He personally criticized Gao Chong as the top scholar, Li Hong as the role model, and Liu Ziyi as the third party.

Cai You and Tong Guan shook their heads secretly, both looking at Cai Zi angrily. Cai Zi said unconsciously: "Prince, please think twice, this Gao Pet..."

"Li Yan!" Zhao Ji ignored him at all and turned his head to the general manager beside him and said, "You go and announce the order! In addition, I love this abdicated thing very much. During the Qionglin Banquet, please ask Gao Chong to read this article as an example."

Li Yan agreed, bowed to receive the order, and then came to the Right Wen Hall with the agreed rankings. The people in the hall were waiting anxiously, and when they saw Li Yan coming in, they suddenly became silent.

"Li Yan, the chief supervisor of our family, has come to announce the top ten in the palace examinations for the imperial examinations. Please listen carefully!

The tenth place in the palace examination, Yang Zaixing, Yang Zaixing, and the ninth place in the Henan Prefecture, Zhengzhou Xun Jin..." As Li Yan continued to recite one by one, everyone's hearts also rose. When he reached the fifth place, many people had already lamented, knowing that there would be no more things for themselves.

"The third place in the palace examination, Tanhua, Jianzhou Liu Ziyi!"

After Li Yan finished reading, he paused for a moment, and everyone turned around to congratulate Liu Ziyi. Liu Ziyi was a little disappointed, but when he heard his name, he immediately smiled and bowed his fists to thank everyone.

"The second place in the palace examination, Guangxi Li Hong!" Li Yan paused again, but the scene was silent this time.

Most people think that Li Hong should be the champion, why did he become the second place? Is there any inside story here? Even Piao Piaoran, who was praised by everyone, thinks that he should be the No. 1 pick, and this time he became the second place, it is quite unacceptable.

Li Yan frowned and said, "Is Li Hong here? Or is there no one called Li Hong here?"

Li Hong suddenly woke up and said, "I am here, thank you for your kindness!" Li Hong quickly stepped forward and knelt down with a thud.

Xun Jin next to him was thrilling in his heart. What should I do if this Li Hong is not the top scorer? Now I can only hope that Gao Chong is also defeated and he can finally get a draw.

But Li Yan coughed and his voice was slightly higher. His voice was already sharp, but now it was more harsh.

"The first top scorer in the palace examination is really a must-have for the high favor!"

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Yang Zaixing jumped up and said, "Congratulations to Shaojun! I knew that this top scholar must be Shaojun!"

Liu Ziyi also hurriedly bowed to Gao Chong to express his congratulations. The others fled away from Li Hong and bowed to Gao Chong one by one.

After Li Yan finished promulgation, he looked around and said, "All Jinshis, the officials are kind to you, please follow our Dao Qionglin Garden to the banquet. Gao Chong, the official loves your poem "Breaking a Time" very much. I ordered you to chant before the banquet, you must be ready."

Everyone was very surprised when they heard this. They looked at Gao Chong's eyes and turned red. Gao Chong smiled slightly and said, "I obey the order!"

Li Yan nodded, took the lead in front, and the others followed closely behind. They left the Right Wen Hall, stepped onto the tall horses and wore red color, and then left the palace and headed straight to the south along the Imperial Street.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo Yujie started from Xuande Gate of the Palace in the north, passed through Zhouqiao and Zhuque Gate, and went directly to Xunmen in the outer city. It was more than ten miles long and two hundred steps wide, and the street was separated by rivers and ditches. In the middle was the main street for the emperor to enter and exit, showing dignity and dignity, and on both sides were ordinary pedestrian streets.

The Jinshi in this palace examination wore red color; Gao Chong even had a golden flower in his hat, so he was able to walk gloriously on the inside of the Imperial Street and accept the cheers of the people.

On the west side of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were two imperial gardens opposite north and south, with Jinmingchi Lake in the north and Qionglin Garden in the south. Qionglin Garden was built since the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty and was finally completed until the reign of Emperor Huizong.

This garden was built in the second year of Qiande in the Song Dynasty and was located in the west of Bianjing City. There is a rockery dozens of feet high in the southeast of the garden. There are pavilions on the mountain, Jinshi roads are paved at the foot of the mountain, and ponds are set up. Most of the areas in the garden are planted with famous flowers from Lingnan and tribute to the south of the Yangtze River, as well as shooting halls and stadiums. The garden is mainly planted with plant landscapes.

The emperor presided over the highest level exam above the palace court and decided on the list and ranking of admission. All those who passed the exam became "son of the emperor". After the palace exam, the emperor announced his ranking of Jinshi; and was given a banquet for Qionglin Garden, so it was called Qionglin Banquet.

Gao Chong and others entered Qionglin Garden, and were shocked by the scenery in front of them. The strange stones, trees, and jade flowers and grass here made everyone dazzled.

Gao Chong was a little unhappy. For this garden, the Song Dynasty built it for more than 100 years, especially the current official family, who plundered the people of the world and suffered miserable life. Hua Shigang even aroused the uprising in Fangla in the south, and the people of more than a dozen states were displaced.

Not long after this Qionglin Garden was built, the Jin people conquered Bianliang, and the Jin soldiers and generals Hui and Qin emperors, together with more than 14,000 concubines, palace maids, royal relatives, officials, craftsmen, geisha, etc., drove the enemy northward. Such a beautiful Qionglin Garden was also destroyed by this war.

Li Yan brought them down to Qionglinyuan and asked them to wait aside. After a while, Zhao Ji arrived one after another with all the civil and military officials.

The banquet was soon put down, and Zhao Ji brought all the officials to take the seat first, and then the Jinshi from Xuanxin came forward to pay homage. Gao Chong and others followed Li Yan's instructions and delivered a great gift to you.

"All the Lords are granted a seat!" Zhao Ji waved his hand to let them sit down. Gao Chong secretly looked at the highest controller of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji was well maintained. He is now in his 40s, but he is almost the same as he is in his 30s. His skin is fair and his three little black beards are so elegant. However, he has been an emperor for 14 years and has been in a high position for a long time, but he still inadvertently reveals a touch of shocking majesty.

In history, Prime Minister Zhang Dun pointed out that Zhao Ji was "frivolous and could not rule the world." However, with the support of Zeng Bu, Cai Bian, Ouyang Xun and others, Empress Dowager Xiang believed that the late emperor once said: King Duan has good fortune and longevity, and be kind and filial, and should be established. Finally, Zhao Ji was appointed emperor.

The Yuan Prime Minister Tuotuo, who presided over the history of the Song Dynasty, also said: "Song Huizong can do everything, but he can't be the king!" It was the guy in front of him who brought the Song Dynasty to an abyss that would never be restored.

"Where is Gao Chong?"

While Gao Chong was stunned, he suddenly heard a call from above, and then he saw Li Yan winking at him with his eyes.

"I am here!" Gao Chong woke up and quickly got up and bowed to kneel down.

"Wow, I'm still a big man! I often hear that Gao Qing is reborn like a king. It's true that he saw it today.

My dear, please be calm! We are not outsiders. You are loyal and kind in the Gao family and are both royal relatives. My grandmother is the descendant of the Gao family. Do you mean to call me "Uncle Uncle"? Don't be polite to our family.

I feel very relieved to see the Qilin among the nobles. What is even more rare is that you are talented in literature and martial arts, and your poetry is better. Especially my love for you. I chant it for everyone and let everyone here listen to it.”

"Thank you for your grace!" Gao Chong kowtowed again, then stood up and said, "When I was drunk, I looked at the sword with a lamp, and I dreamed of blowing the horns and camps. I divided my subordinates with 800 miles, and I turned the sound of fifty strings. I blew the soldiers on the battlefield. The horses were made of fast, and the bow was astonished as thunder. I ended the affairs of the king and won the reputation of my life. Don't let it happen in vain!"

"Okay! It turns out that the author of the lyrics can understand its meaning best. This lyrics have a unique flavor when read in my mouth. The heroic spirit in it is like a dragon walking in the sky. My love is truly the dragon among the lyrics!"

"Thank you for your kindness!" Gao Chong quickly knelt down and bowed. Zhao Ji was happy and laughed loudly, "Okay! I will give you a title! Come, bring paper and pen!"

Li Yan was serving him a long time ago, and when he heard the order, he quickly took the four treasures of the study and personally developed the ink. Zhao Ji picked up the imperial pen and wrote the four words "The Dragon" in the lyrics, and gave them to Gao Chong.
Chapter completed!
