Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 519
After Su Chen won the first prize, word spread quickly, and many people in Jinling City knew about it.

"Jiangzuo Sulang, high school champion!"

"Jiangzuo's number one talented scholar, he deserves his reputation!"

"I bet three hundred coins, and now I can make a lot of money." Someone shouted excitedly.

Because of Su Chen's talent and reputation, many people bet on him for the number one prize.

But betting on this kind of thing, not everyone will bet on one person, like other talents, such as Hongzhou Jieyuan Lu Jing, Xinzhou Jieyuan Cui Dongsheng, Taixue Gongsheng Chen Junji and others, there are also people who bet.

"Damn, I bet on Hongzhou Jieyuan Lu Jing, it's over!"

"I overwhelmed Jinling talented Chen Junji, and I lost everything."

This scene was staged in different places in Jinling City, some happy and some sad.

The happiest thing is the Su Mansion, with the lights and festoons, many dignitaries of the imperial court came to congratulate.

Everyone understands that this Su Chen is about to become an upstart in the court. Before he won the number one prize, he was already very popular. He has saved the lives of the queen and the prince, so he is so famous.

Now that he has become the No. [-] pick, the future must have a bright future.

Except for those from the Song Party who did not come to the door to congratulate, but only sent people to bring things, people from the Sun Party and the New Party all came.

Han Xizai, Xu Xuan, Zhong Mo, Gao Yue, Xu Kai, Zhang Yi and others gathered in the Su Mansion to enjoy the treatment of Su Chen cooking in person, and the high-quality Wuliangye was brought out for these dignitaries of the dynasty to enjoy.

"Haha, Wuliangye from the Su Mansion is a fine wine. It is said to be a 53-degree strong-flavored wine, which is more fragrant than the previous sake and rice wine!" Xu Xuan clapped his hands and applauded.

Han Xizai smiled and stroked his beard: "Yes, Brother Xu Xian is also good at this."

Xu Xuan sighed and laughed: "Although I'm not as good at drinking as Brother Han, but this Wuliangye is very good and worth tasting."

"Su Chen, what are you waiting for, let the servants serve the wine quickly."

A few shouted at Su Chen, and the latter had no choice but to order his servants to take out the Wuliangye distilled with a limited number of heights that had been brewed in the past six months, and entertain several court dignitaries.

He had no other choice, he still had to mix his official career. These ministers were at the third rank at the lowest level. They had great power in the court, and their disciples were all over Jinling. They were definitely the backbone of the Sun Party.

"Okay, let's serve the wine, my lords, the Wuliangye in the Su Mansion is enough for today!" Su Chen is also an open-minded person, and doesn't care about storing good wine. He has money to buy food and masters the technology, so he can keep making it. These ministers are willing to drink, and he is also willing to hug these thighs.

Soon, several jars of good wine were served, and the wine was poured and drunk, and everyone drank freely.

In the back, while drinking, playing wine orders, and even impromptu poetry, all are commonplace for literati and bureaucrats to gather.

Su Chen found an opportunity to slip away, so he stopped playing with drinking orders. He was definitely not as good as these old fellows, making a fool of himself on the spot, which would damage his reputation as "Jiangzuo's No. [-] Talented Scholar".

He left behind the three talents of Runzhou, Tan Mingjun, Zhu Yao, and Ye Chen, to accompany these adults.

These three people were all familiar with Su Chen when they were in Runzhou. After Su Chen's training, they also passed the government examination and became candidates.

Chun Wei came to Jinling City to take the Runzhou Examination, and they were all ranked in the third place. Although the ranking was low, the three of them were also very happy. They also came to visit Su Mansion today, and thanked Su Chen for his guidance and teaching.

Su Chen took the opportunity to introduce the three of them to Han Xizai, Xu Xuan and other important officials of the court. Anyone who liked the talents and character of the three, promised a marriage, or accepted them as disciples were all their good luck and had a backing.

.........

The next day, Su Chen entered the palace, and together with the other Jinshi who were nominated on the gold list, they met with the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu!

On the Golden Luan Hall, all civil and military officials stood together, and the eunuch read the final Enke list.

Champion: Su Chen.

Second place: Chen Junji
Probe: Cui Dongsheng
Hongzhou Xieyuan Lu Jing, who is very popular, is in the first position of the second class, and there are 20 people in the second class.

There are 50 people in the third class, Su Chen heard familiar names such as Tan Mingjun, Zhu Yao, Ye Chen, etc.
Of course, the most honorable one is Su Chen, because his poems, words, and articles are all considered three masterpieces, and there has never been such a phenomenon in the imperial examinations of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Su Chen, from today onwards, you will be the number one scholar in this subject. When you enter the imperial court in the future, you should give full play to your talents and studies, and do more things that contribute to the country and the people." Li Yu specifically mentioned this in front of civil and military officials. One sentence from Su Chen strengthened the weight.

"I understand!" Su Chen replied modestly and calmly.

"Thank you." Li Yu didn't say anything more. Some things need to be said in the Imperial Study Room, not in the Jinluan Hall.

"Thank you, Lord Long En!" The number one scholar Su Chen led all Jinshi to thank the emperor for his kindness.

Next, the Xinke Scholars were paraded through the streets by the imperial concubine.The number one scholar, the second place in the list, Tanhua, and the top two and three top Jinshi can all participate, and the positions are arranged according to their rankings.

Su Chen was naturally in the first place, wearing a black gauze hat with golden flowers on his head, wearing a big red robe, holding a hand-picked imperial edict in his hand, straddling a red-maned horse with golden saddles, hugging each other.

After leaving the palace gate, the flags and drums opened the way, which can be described as extraordinary.

The team was mighty and mighty, passing through the busy Suzaku Street, the Bai surnames on both sides, and the guests in the restaurants facing the street were all looking at the Xinke Scholars team.

"The first one is Su Chen, the number one talented person in Jiangzuo, who grows like a jade tree facing the wind!"

"The appearance is dignified, no wonder you can become the champion!"

"Have you heard that Su Zhuangyuan wrote three masterpieces of poems, words, and essays in Chunwei, all of which can be handed down to future generations. It can be said that he is the one with the highest literary talent among the champions of all dynasties."

"Even if Su Yixuan doesn't win the number one prize, his talent is unmatched. Those scripts, novels, and collections of poems and essays have long been spread throughout the Kyushu countries. Who among us talented people in the south of the Yangtze River can do this?"

There was a lot of discussion among the common people, all centered on Su Chen, which immediately overshadowed the No. [-], Tanhua, and other Scholars.

There is no doubt that Su Chen is the most shining, just like the moon hanging high, dotted with other stars.

Sitting on the horse's back, Su Chen felt thousands of gazes, and the admiring gazes from many young women, ladies, etc., he was also a little excited.

I couldn't help but think of the poem "After Enrollment" by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, and I silently said in my heart: the past was so dirty that it was not enough to boast, but today's debauchery has no boundaries.The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

It was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a scene, and he felt as if he had Jinling luck added to him.

However, with great energy comes great responsibility.

Su Chen accepted the praise and love of thousands of Bai surnames, as if he had accepted the aura of Wen Yuan in the land of Jinling, blessed to his soul, and his whole being became more transparent.

Insight into world affairs is knowledge, and human feelings are learned.

At this moment, Su Chen seemed to have become a little more mature. Instead of being completely arrogant, he felt a sense of responsibility in his heart. He wanted to keep the people in the south of the Yangtze River, and he had a sense of righteousness in his heart.
