Chapter 106
The main hall was extremely quiet. Yuan Huo stood in front of the imperial examination case, motionless, waiting for Emperor Xuanhe to slowly check the test papers. After he read them, he picked up the last three test papers and said: "This is the first grade that you have negotiated. Jinshi?"
Yuan Huo Gongjin replied: "As far as the emperor is concerned, yes."
Emperor Xuanhe looked at it and suddenly said: "Is this Xie Ling the child prodigy who won the title of Scholar at the age of thirteen?"
"Exactly."
Emperor Xuanhe turned over the paper and said, "I see that he seems to be on par with Gu Meipo. Why did you recommend him as the number one scholar?"
As he spoke, he raised his head, stared at Yuan Huo with a pair of sharp eyes, and said slowly: "Is it because I praised him in public?"
These words are somewhat meaningful. If the ministers really speculate on the emperor's preferences to recommend the number one scholar, they will inevitably be flattering the ministers. If the person they recommend is not favored by the emperor, they will also offend the emperor. It can be said that Heaven¡¯s heart is unpredictable.
Yuan Huo lowered his eyes slightly, and replied respectfully: "The emperor said that is not the case. This person's talent and learning are indeed as good as that of Gu Meipo. However, please take a look at this person's face. He is neat and clean, and his calligraphy is good." It is said that the word is very good, and it is said that the word is like the person. If this person becomes the number one scholar and becomes an official of my great cadre in the future, he will probably be as clear and strong as this word."
After hearing these words, Emperor Xuanhe burst out laughing and said: "What a word, it's like the person it is, good!"
Emperor Xuanhe picked up the ink pen, drew a circle on the paper, and said: "Since Mr. Yuan Ge said so, I will nominate him as the number one scholar!"
Yuan Huo quickly bowed down and said, "I am scared."
Emperor Xuanhe drew up the rankings of the next nine people one by one and said, "Okay, let's go and give it to the Ministry of Rites to fill in the rankings."
"yes."
Yuan Huo stepped forward and picked up the test paper. The first one was indeed Xie Ling, the newly released number one scholar in the Jiachen Division of Xuanhe 30 years, followed closely by the second place winner, Gu Meipo.

In Yan's study room, Xie Ling and others were talking. Someone hurried in outside the door, but it was Yan's father. When he entered the door, he glanced around and said, "The list of Jinshi has come out."
Several people in the room stood up immediately, and Yan Shangzhi asked, "Did you see him?"
Father Yan said: "I asked the right minister of the Ministry of Rites to help me look at it."
As he spoke, he looked at Xie Ling. Everyone tensed up for a moment, feeling both uneasy and nervous. Father Yan sighed, "You are worthy of being called Mr. Zhongcheng."
"Dad?"
Yan's father said: "Shen Zhi is the first in the first class and the number one scholar in this subject."
After hearing this, the four of them were stunned. However, Xie Ling, the person involved, was the first to react. He cupped his hands to Yan's father and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Father Yan waved his hand, showed a smile, and said: "You can be regarded as the youngest number one scholar in my Daqian Dynasty."
Yang Ye excitedly smacked his palm and said: "It's nothing to be a mere winner. Gu Meipo won once and it's a big deal. Shen Zhi is now the number one winner. I don't know what his face will be like if he finds out."
He still remembered that day when Gu Meipo ridiculed Xie Ling outside Yuan Mansion.
But Father Yan warned: "As an elder, I still have something to say."
Several people hurriedly listened respectfully, and Father Yan said: "The situation in the court is not very clear now. Shen Zhi won the first prize again. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching you overtly and covertly. Please remember, don't be arrogant or show off, and don't offend others easily." .¡±

"I know, thank you uncle for reminding me."
Father Yan thought for a while and then said: "In a few days, it will be Chuanlu Day. According to the imperial system, Shen Zhi has to go to the imperial court to meet the emperor. When the time comes, officials from the Ministry of Rites will teach you. You must be careful and make sure you don't make any mistakes." .¡±
Xie Ling responded: "Yes, I understand."
On the second day, according to the etiquette, Xie Ling and Yan Shangzhi paid a visit to their master Yuange together. After coming out of Yuan Mansion, they had to visit their respective masters without stopping.
On the dark plaque were written two simple and powerful characters, Dou Mansion. Xie Ling arrived at the gate and handed the post to the concierge. When the concierge saw it, he immediately said: "It turns out you are here, please come in quickly. The master gave orders early in the morning to wait."
Xie Ling nodded, and the concierge led him into the mansion. He sat in the flower hall, and someone else immediately served tea and fruits. Not long after, Dou Mingxuan came from the back hall.

Emperor Xuanhe smiled kindly and said, "I will remember you, and I will be fine."
Xie Ling: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
As he said this, he kowtowed and then stood up. When he raised his eyes, Xie Ling noticed that there was another person standing before Emperor Xuanhe. He looked about thirty years old and was wearing an apricot-yellow robe with four embroidered patterns on it. With the clawed dragon pattern, this person is obviously the current crown prince of the Great Qian Dynasty.
As soon as he saw that person, for some reason, Xie Ling felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was strange at the moment. However, he instinctively felt a bit of rejection and dislike for this person.
This feeling surprised Xie Ling himself. He had always been introverted, and except for Ah Jiu, he maintained a very calm and indifferent attitude. This was the first time that such vague displeasure appeared.
He glanced at the prince without revealing anything and lowered his eyes slightly. At this time, Emperor Xuanhe above the main hall said: "Xie Ling, I have read your article and you did a good job."
Xie Ling immediately said respectfully: "I am scared."
Emperor Xuanhe laughed, looking very kind and kind, and said: "What's there to be afraid of? You are the number one scholar in my new subject in the Qian Dynasty, and you are so young. It can be seen that you work very hard in your studies, and you should be rewarded."
Xie Ling knelt down again and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
¡¡
It wasn't until someone came to announce the decree in the afternoon that Xie Ling learned that Emperor Xuanhe had rewarded him with a house. After thanking him, when he saw the location of the house, both Yan's father and Yan Shangzhi fell silent. Xie Ling saw that their faces were wrong, so he asked: "What's wrong?"
Father Yan twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm afraid you don't know that this house is somewhat famous."
He spoke implicitly, but Xie Ling and others were confused. Yang Ye couldn't help but ask: "What's the reputation? Could it be that some big shot lived there?" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
