On the side of the governor of the capital, Zhang Li was in a state of uneasiness as he delayed the announcement of the announcement. He kept sending people to keep an eye on the intersection in Beining and the Suiping residence.

So he got some news: Princess Shangde used two carriages to pull a big thing into the palace; soon after she left the palace, Eunuch Xie took the imperial edict to Suiping Bo's house; Eunuch Xie was

Sui Pingbo sent it, and both of them were smiling and chatting happily. It was obvious that the imperial edict that Eunuch Xie came to read was a good thing rather than a bad thing.

Now Zhang Li couldn't sit still. After thinking about it for a long time, he personally rewrote a list and posted it in front of the government office.

The clever boy from Suiping's Mansion had been guarding in front of the government office. From early in the morning until the middle of the night, he saw no movement. Just as he was dozing off, he heard the noise of people, and the government office announced the announcement.

He immediately wormed his way into the crowd like a monkey, and at a glance he saw his girl's name hanging high on the list, ranking second.

He quickly squeezed out of the crowd and went back to report the good news.

After hearing the news, the three elders of the Suiping Mansion all looked at Zhao Ruxi.

"Sister Xi, this ranking... seems to be pretty good." Mrs. Zhu carefully comforted her daughter.

"Yes, the head of the case is just a false name. The most important thing is to pass the exam and get the honor." Zhao Yuanxun also said.

Zhao Ruxi heard the system announcement the moment the list was posted, knew the ranking, and also received 600 points rewarded by the system.

Seeing her parents comforting her, she waved her hands: "I'm fine."

Immediately she looked in the direction of the capital government office and chuckled: "This Zhang Fuyin is not a smart person."

Zhao Yuanxun became an official, and the fighting chord in his heart became tighter.

Hearing Zhao Ruxi's words, he quickly asked: "How do you say this?"

"Since he made a mistake, he just made a mistake and put me in third or fourth place, so that no one can say anything. But he happened to find that he was wrong and wanted to correct it, but he overcorrected.

Look, there must be candidates clamoring to see the test papers."

Zhao Yuanxun frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't think so. In the first game, because the first place was a woman, they refused to accept it, and there was a fight. Everyone felt that it was excusable and didn't care about them. But if it happens again now,

, then the nature has changed. This is disrupting the imperial examination, which is a serious crime. Those who will be arrested and imprisoned will also be deprived of their honors and honors. The consequences are so serious, who dares to make trouble?"

"They don't dare. But what if someone from above encourages them to go?"

Zhao Yuanxun was startled. He looked around and found that everyone had been sent out. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Who?"

Zhao Ruxi did not point it out, but said, "Just wait and see."

Zhao Yuanxun immediately sent the clever boy to stay at the gate of the government office and told him to come back and report if there was any movement.

Sure enough, half an hour after the list was posted, someone started shouting at the door of the Yamen, saying that Zhao Ruxi was ranked seventh in the third game, why was he ranked second in the end, it was unfair, and asked to see the test paper.

Zhang Li was about to arrest the person. Wu Huaisi, who was passing by, heard these words and said to Zhang Li: "Then post the test papers."

Wu Huaisi was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and Zhao Zhiwei's senior brother. He heard someone slandering his junior sister and asked to post test papers to protect her reputation. It was reasonable and reasonable. Zhang Li thought hard and couldn't think of any reason for him to refuse.

Finally he had to post the test papers.

There were already a lot of people coming to see the list, but with such a commotion, even more people came to watch the excitement. Even passers-by craned their necks to look at the wall.

"Hey, why do I think Zhao Zhiwei's articles and poems are much better than the first place one?" someone said.

"I think so. Even though Zhiwei is a woman and not very young, her article is as majestic and powerful as her paintings. The most important thing is that she has something to say, is to the point, and gets to the point.

Such an article, not only in the county examination, but also in the township examination, would it rank among the best in the general examination, right?"

"That's what you think. I think the first place is better, with sophisticated writing and plain style. Zhiwei Jushi's article is a bit too sharp and aggressive, and is not as comfortable to read as the first place." Some people want it.

Flatter Lord Fu Yin and quickly defend him.

No one else said anything.

The writing style of the first place is indeed as the person said, the writing is sophisticated and plain, but this kind of writing style is usually written by older people. It is smooth and smooth, and there is no fault. But because of this, it lacks distinctive features and looks like

It's not outstanding. It's okay for an article like this to win, but to be ranked first, they are not very convinced.

The second, third, and fourth place finishers followed the same style as the first place finisher. They looked stable, but were actually unremarkable.

Compared with their articles, Zhao Ruxi's writing style and content are both novel and original, which is eye-catching.

Mr. Zhang, the prefect, has a rather peculiar taste. Although you like to eat radish and cabbage, but you don’t like abalone and sea cucumber. But the taste and value of the two are widely recognized to be very different. You, Mr. Zhang, insist on saying that radish is better than abalone.

Although the truth is on your side, it really makes people dissatisfied.

"Does it mean that since Wei Jushi ranked seventh in the third game, even if she ranked well in the first two games, she shouldn't be ranked second, right?" Someone else raised a new question.

"Perhaps Mr. Fu Yin regretted it after ranking her seventh. After all, Zhiwei Jushi's article was really good. So he raised her ranking by one or two when the final list was compiled." Someone explained for Zhang Li.

.

"According to the reputation of layman Zhiwei, he deserves the second place." Another person said.

"Why? That's painting, not writing articles for scientific examinations. How can they be compared?"

"What's wrong with painting? If you had the ability, you could draw such a good painting."

Hearing this, I found that these people were noisy and started to argue about whether there was any bonus to fame when taking the county examination. The imperial guards sent by the palace and the servants of the Suiping residence did not listen any more.

Squeeze out the crowd and go back to report to their respective masters.

Xiao Ge had already obtained the test paper before it was posted. As an emperor, he naturally preferred Zhao Ruxi's articles. In his opinion, the top six articles were plain at best and mediocre at worst.

He called back the imperial guards who were sent out to investigate Zhang Li and asked, "How is the investigation of Zhang Li's situation going? Which faction is he closest to?"

"After returning to the emperor and being transferred to the capital, Mr. Zhang frequently visited the disciples of His Highness the Crown Prince, who were from the same hometown as him. He did not go to other places. However, his subordinates found out something more and found that Mrs. Zhang has been talking to Chen Yunnan, the head of the Ministry of Personnel.

The lady came very close. Check further..."
