Chapter 385
"These two are the talents that I urgently need in the Tang Dynasty today, but there is only one candidate for the top scorer. To be fair, these two are of equal talent, but each has its own emphasis. A top scorer cannot represent my thoughts. Behind this sharp article, there must be a sharp person. Behind the rational and mature article, there must be a rational and mature person behind me. My result, let's follow the personalities of these two people!"
After hearing Li Qing's words, the three of them looked at each other and thought to themselves, and then let us tell us the result?
"Your Majesty means... let this sharp candidate withstand some setbacks, so that he can go further?"
When Liu Yan saw that no one had to answer the other two, he could only ask this. Of course, he thought so too.
"Oh, of course, it is to make the sharper ones more powerful, and those who can keep their low profile will keep their low profile. Such a simple truth, you three don't even know. I'm really a little disappointed!"
Zhang Xun and the other three looked at each other after hearing this, their expressions were quite helpless, but the three of them also discovered that Li Neng seemed to be in a good mood today, and she would just joke with them for nothing. I don’t know if it was because she finally finished her high-intensity work these days, or was she very satisfied with the top scorer and the second scorer.
But at this time, these obviously no longer matter.
Next, Li and the three of them took down the names of the 26 people they selected, but the others didn't attract them much. It was just the top two. Everyone really wanted to see who they were, especially the one who was named the second place by Li. They could almost tell that they must be from the Imperial College, but who they were still worth noting.
"Du Huangshang? This person's father is the official of Jingzhao Yin. I didn't expect that Du Wan could raise such a son!"
When Liu Yan saw Du Huangshang's name, he showed a hint of suddenness. He still had an impression of Du Wan. He had liked to praise his son in front of his colleagues as the leader of the Imperial College. Liu Yan did not take it seriously, but thought he was bragging about it. Now it seems that what he said is really real, and there is no even a slight exaggeration.
These people are good at keeping secrets, so they seem to be doing well in the exam. After Liu Yan returned to his Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Du Wan, who came to the door many times to find out the news, did not get any valuable information every time.
Although there are only two or three days left before the announcement, Du Wan was anxious. After returning from the office where he was on duty on that day, he saw it getting dark and was planning to go to Jingzhao Yin Mansion to check the situation.
"Father, are you?"
These days, Du Huangshang himself was very relaxed. After Hong Yuan invited him several times in the inn, he took Hong Yuan to play in the brothel and restaurant in Chang'an City for two or three days on the grounds of returning the invitation. At the same time, he also introduced many classmates from the Imperial College who he thought were a little talented to know.
In the past two days, Du Huangshang had basically figured out Hong Yuan's level and believed that as long as Hong Yuan didn't make Li Yan angry, a Jinshi would have no problem, at least it was just a matter of writing an article. None of his classmates could have ever been able to do Hong Yuan.
Hong Yuan himself is not an introverted person, but his idea is just a bit straight. In the past, he always fought alone in his county town. A master is indeed a master, and loneliness is indeed a lonely person.
He also understood that once he passed the exam this time, it would be difficult for a lone wolf like him to make progress in the officialdom. Compared with Du Huangshang, communicating with others is definitely a place where he cannot compare to, so he has to study.
Hong Yuan's talent was quickly recognized by the students of the Imperial College. For several days, students in the capital who were not short of money took turns to host a banquet for Hong Yuan. After all, according to Du Huangshang, Hong Yuan was a person who was very successful in entering the top three. Li Qing's first year of ascending the throne, and his future was unlimited.
On this day, Du Huangshang rarely spent the night outside, but ran into his hesitant father.
"Oh, don't you want to go to Jingzhao Yin's mansion to find out the verge of the ritual? I heard that Jingzhao Yin is one of the people who assisted His Majesty in drafting the candidates for Jinshi. Although it is not time for the release of the ranking, the ranking should have been decided long ago!"
Without Du Wan talking about it, Du Huangshang also knew that his father was a little anxious to know if he was the top three candidates.
In fact, he himself wanted to know a little. After all, although he had been having fun these days, he was always unhappy. Although Du Huangshang had a set of theories in his mind, he didn't know how much theories were and what the emperor really liked.
But when he saw his father's expression, Du Huangshang knew that he must have been turned down several times. Although Liu Yan was his chief official, even if he knew about the big deal, he was just a helper. If he had to say that, Xu Yuan was qualified to say that if he told Du Wan, he would be meddling in other people's business. And once it was really a good achievement, Du Wan would definitely promote it!
Thinking of this, Du Huangshang's heart suddenly moved and spoke to his father.
"Father, how did he tell you when you came to Jingzhao Yin's mansion before?"
"He didn't scold me much, but just asked me to come back and said that he would know when the results were released."
Du Huangshang frowned and thought for a while, suddenly showed a strange smile, and then said to his father: "Father, don't go to Jingzhao Yin's mansion again. Jingzhao Yin said it well, and you will know when the results are released!"
After saying that, he walked into his room with great strides.
Du Wan looked at her son's relaxed back, and there was a lot of shadow in her heart. She thought that she was just her garbage mental state, and even compared with her son, she didn't know how much worse it was.
In fact, there are many parents of candidates like Du Wan, but they may not be Liu Yan. Whether it is Xu Yuan or Zhang Xun, the mansion can be described as crowded these days, but there are not a single person who has useful information from their way. On the last day, everyone finally calmed down.
By the day the results were released, there were already a huge crowd in Chang'an City. Large groups of people and parents of candidates came with hope to see this decisive moment.
