Chapter 41 First Place Substitution
Because of worrying that the matter will get bigger and bigger, and worrying that the public opinion of the people will continue to spread, this will have a huge negative impact on the court and the imperial examination.
Therefore, the emperor immediately ordered that the Ministry of Rites not be delayed, and quickly changed the Dragon and Tiger List to spread the news of the error in the Juren's list, and the Ministry of Rites sent someone to inform Chen Xiao that he would be the first place in the Juren.
And at this moment!
A restaurant in the imperial capital, Li Pingzhi, Mr. Liu, and many candidates who passed the imperial examination were drinking here.
Li Pingzhi was very happy and ate and drank here, and he treated him.
Mr. Liu also drank a lot. At this moment, he was talking about Chen Xiao, and everyone was ridiculing again.
Then, Li Pingzhi sighed: "It's a pity that beautiful woman beside him. Alas, such a stunning beauty is rare in the world, but she can't own it for me. But she just followed that useless person, which is a pity."
Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Now, Brother Pingzhi, you are Jie Yuan. With your good conditions, you always have a way to take over the beauty around Chen Xiao."
"Hahaha, that's right, that's right!" Li Pingzhi smiled and then whispered:
"If it doesn't work, I will ask someone to tie it to the mansion. After forcibly being happy, let's see how she doesn't follow me, hahaha..."
Mr. Liu also laughed and said, "After that, Chen Xiao originally had a fiancée. Because he was sick, his fiancée came to his house to break the engagement, so after he recovered from the illness, he instead gave up the person."
"There is still this?" Li Pingzhi became interested.
Mr. Liu said: "The family who was dismissed from the engagement now has no match for the Chen family. Chen Xiao also offended the county magistrate and Dianshi in the county government. These people, including me, all have a grudge against Chen Xiao. Before, when he came to the imperial examination, everyone was worried that he would become a juren, so they dare not attack Chen Xiao now.
But now, Chen Xiao failed, hahaha, I went back to Qingyang County after dinner and brought the news back. The county magistrate, Dian Shi and the Luo family will inevitably attack the Chen family and let Chen Xiao go back and see that the family is destroyed!"
"Really?" Li Pingzhi's eyes lit up and said, "If they deal with Chen Xiao, then his woman...hahaha, I'm looking forward to it."
Mr. Liu couldn't wait to bring this good news back to Qingyang County.
So, after drinking, he quickly said goodbye and said he would go back to Qingyang County and bring the good news back.
After watching Mr. Liu leave, Li Pingzhi thought of Long Jiuling again. He was so itchy, don’t mention it.
Next to him, a juren asked: "Brother Pingzhi, are you planning to continue taking the imperial examination or find a way to become an official?"
"Be an official, although he is only an official in the eighth or ninth rank, my family has something to do, so I can be promoted quickly. Anyway, if I get the Jinshi exam, I have to be an official, the same thing," said Li Pingzhi.
"Oh? Can you tell me where you will be in office?" someone asked.
Li Pingzhi smiled and said, "My father has taken care of his relationship. At this moment, there is a vacancy in the Imperial Capital Office's Office and Prison Office. The Ministry of Personnel has already raised my name and will take office soon."
"Oh, the prison guard of the Imperial Capital? That is the position in charge of the prison guards and prisons of the Imperial Capital. In order to manage the prison, the officer is appointed as the ninth rank. Brother Ping passed the exam and could become an official, or a position with high quality, which is enviable!"
"Yes, this imperial capital prison detains so many people, including many powerful people. If they respect Brother Ping, they will have many benefits!"
Listening to everyone's compliments, Li Pingzhi laughed and was so proud.
However, he didn't know that Chen Xiao, whom he looked down upon, was now his immediate boss and the regent of the Imperial Capital.
On the other side, the most ruthless restaurant in the imperial capital.
Chen Xiaozheng sat behind the counter bored.
Today, many of his test papers were copied and posted, and many of the people read them, especially scholars, who were very concerned about his articles and the failure to win the imperial examination.
The result Chen Xiao wanted has basically achieved.
Now, I just don't know what to do.
While he was in a daze, an official who was in the reign of the Ministry of Rites came in with a gong and laughed and said:
"Congratulations to Mr. Chen Xiao, the top juren in the list, won the title of Jie Yuan..."
As he said, beat the gong and continued to repeat.
This is the rule. After the list is issued, the Ministry of Rites sent people to pass the imperial examination to inform the people at home.
But this made Chen Xiao a little confused, so he said, "Are you wrong? Isn't my name not on the list?"
"Reply to Master Jie Yuan, the Dragon and Tiger List has missed your name. You are the number one Jie Yuan!"
"What?" Chen Xiao was stunned, and the guests in the restaurant around him congratulated Chen Xiao.
At this time, the fat man came up quickly, gave the informed clerk a tael of silver, and then said to the clerk:
"Hurry, serve wine for the official, and in addition, we will give you a dish at each table today."
Otherwise, the fat man is sensible and good at being a human being.
Chen Xiao was still confused and thought to himself what was going on? Did the test paper he posted make a big deal? The Ministry of Rites found out that his article was good and put his name first?
Or are they really mistaken at the beginning?
No matter what, now I have passed the imperial examination and still have the first place, and this matter has been considered complete.
However, on the other side, Li Pingzhi was drinking with the juren in another restaurant. He was constantly showing off because of Jie Yuan's identity, and now he was waiting for the minor official to rule.
When everyone saw the minor official coming, they all looked over, and some people said:
"Everyone is quiet, come to report the first place of Brother Ping, Jie Yuan, which is enviable..."
Li Pingzhi stood with awesome hands behind his back, looking at the little official, who also shouted:
"Congratulations to Mr. Li Pingzhi, the second place in the list of juren, won the title of Yayuan..."
Li Pingzhi laughed, but then his face changed and he said, "What? Second place?"
The little official said: "That's right, there was an error before the Dragon and Tiger List. Now it's a new one. You are the second place in Yayuan."
"Missing it? Second place?" Li Pingzhi looked ugly and said, "Who is the first place?"
"The first name of the juren is Chen Xiao!" the little official replied.
Li Pingzhi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and shouted angrily: "I can't, I'm the first, you must have made a mistake."
As he said that, he ran out of the restaurant and went to the tribute court. The Dragon and Tiger List outside was indeed changed. The number one Jie Yuan above became Chen Xiao's name.
Whether Li Pingzhi believes it or not, his name is Chen Xiao.
He stood there for a long time, and the number one he had already obtained was actually obtained by the guy he looked down upon the most, and he just pressed him down. How could he bear it?
However, he rushed along the way and rushed to Qingyang County in the shortest time, but he still didn't know that Chen Xiao was the first.
As soon as he came back, he immediately promoted Chen Xiao's failure to pass the imperial examination.
He also invited Wei Dianshihe County and the Luo family to dinner and told them the news.
Upon hearing this news, Wei Dianshi smiled, and the county magistrate laughed the happiest:
"Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao, your dream has been shattered, so now, it's time for us to take action against your Chen family without restraint..."
