Chapter 321
It lasted until the moment of application time, and all the examinations were considered to be over.

The people who had been listless just now all started to look at you again as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Not many questions were selected in the two rounds of examinations. Lu Xuanqing and the two ministers acted as the final coordinator, selected the last ten of the 48 examination papers selected by the five bachelors and handed them to Emperor Kang He.

And their numbers were all covered, and even Kang and Di couldn't see their names.

Therefore, the people didn't even know whose articles these people would present to Emperor Kang He.

Because there were two questions, Lu Xuanqing and the two ministers selected five papers for the first question and five papers for the second question.

Everyone held their breath, watching Kang Hedi's choice.

Emperor Kang He looked at it very seriously. After half an hour, he selected three of the ten answer sheets, and then said to Lu Xuanqing:
"Scholar Lu, come and unpack these test papers yourself."

Everyone held their breath and watched as Lu Xuanqing broke the seals himself. Lu Xuanqing also knew the rules very well. After untiing them, he immediately stepped aside.

Emperor Kang He smiled when he saw Lu Xuanqing's actions, and then said to Lu Xuanqing:
"I can trust Xueshi Lu as a man, Xueshi Lu, invite these three people out."

"Yes!"

Lu Xuanqing took out the test papers, looked at the numbers on the three papers, and announced loudly to everyone:
"No. 30 No. 120, 210 No. [-], [-] No. [-]."

Up to now, they don't know who these numbers represent.

But when Lu Xuanqing shouted, three people really came out.

Everyone was shocked, it was not the top three that they would try before.

"Sign up."

"Student Jizhou student Lin Tiansheng."

"Student Ludi student Hong Zhongyi."

"Students from Shu, Kang Mingxue."

Everyone began to discuss again, and naturally some people expressed doubts and asked Lu Xuanqing:
"Scholar Lu, why did you take the top three exams and no one entered the list?"

"Master Li's question is strange, but you didn't see clearly how to mark the papers this time?"

Master Li choked immediately. Everyone reviewed the papers from the beginning to the end, and there was nothing suspicious about it, so it was really difficult for everyone to say that there was a problem.

"It's just that in this case, shouldn't they all be selected in the top three?"

"Isn't it selected among the top three today? Today is not only the top three, but the top 230 eight people are all together. Why, Mr. Li, does this mean that we are acting unfairly?"

Who dares to say this?Who dares to say that they acted unfairly, no one is blind, but they all see clearly.

For a while, the scene became more and more quiet and scary.

Lan Tingzhi really wanted to stand up and say something for his son, but he also knew very well that it was because this examination was too fair, every detail was obvious to all, and it was impossible for anyone to cheat.

So the more this is the case, the more people cannot export it.

Lord Li came back in a hurry, but at this moment the emperor looked at the three people, then slowly got up and walked down.

"Since everyone thinks that the top three in the test should also be selected, then the top three in the test will be selected."

Su Guangsheng and the others were already terrified. In fact, the more fair they were, the more glad they were that they were not selected.

But at the moment the emperor spoke in person, and all three of them stood up.

"Zuo Shangshu, what are the rankings of these three in the test?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Lin Tiansheng, a student from Jizhou, is No. 5 in the general examination, Hong Zhongyi, a student from Ludi, is No. 8 in the general examination, and Kang Mingxue, a student from Sichuan, is No. 10 in the general examination."

Zuo Shangshu's words made everyone start to discuss more and more, these people's rankings can be regarded as high, if they are selected from these three, it is not impossible.

But the emperor seemed to be serious this time, so he said to the crowd:
"In order to show fairness, the top three in the test and these three will participate in the final competition together. Do you have any objections?"

"The ministers have no objections."

"Okay, it's fine if you don't have an opinion. Anyway, it's a fair selection, so why don't Lan Lao, Wang Lao, and Ge Lao jointly come up with the first question."

The three people who were named have already retired. They didn't expect that Emperor Kang and Emperor would give them such a big face. The three of them were a little happy immediately, and Xie En stood up immediately, thought for a while, and then put forward a political discussion at the same time. As for the topic, the three of them deserved to have been working for the imperial court all their lives, and the questions they raised were also very profound. With the topic of taxation, the six of them stopped writing for a while.

Then everyone circulated it, which was much faster than the hundreds of copies before.

Lan Linlang is his own son, and Lan Tingzhi naturally recognized the handwriting at a glance, so when he saw the answer, he was a little disappointed, it was too regular and not brilliant at all.

On the contrary, those three people did have their own merits.

On the contrary, this article will try the top three, which is really mediocre.

Then the emperor will set the questions, and the time will be the same for a stick of incense. After the time is over, they will review the papers together again.

At the end of the two rounds, the answer is self-evident.

If it weren't for worrying about causing dissatisfaction among the students, Emperor Kang He would really let the answers of these six people spread around.

Don't say that the top three answers in this test really don't see the slightest advantage. If they were nervous in the previous assessment, are they also nervous these two times?
There are four assessments in total, even if you can get into everyone's eyes once, that's fine.

But no, for a while the three old men noticed the weirdness, they were all old foxes after all, if they still couldn't figure it out, they were not worthy of being an official here for the rest of their lives.

For a time, all the people stopped their mouths three times.

But Lan Tingzhi's complexion turned pale in an instant. What the hell did this brat do in private?
He originally thought that this kid's extra-long performance this time was because he had improved in his temporary study before the test, but he didn't expect, he didn't expect it to be like this.

His heart was unpredictable, and he didn't dare to think deeply.

Fortunately, the emperor was not prepared to make this a big deal, so Kang and the emperor selected the top three in the first class.

The number one scholar is Hong Zhongyi, a student from Ludi.

The second place is Kang Mingxue, a student from Sichuan.

Tanhua is Lin Tiansheng, a student from Jizhou.

The top three in the general examination were moved to the top three in the second, and the positions of the others were almost adjusted, but I have to say that the rankings of the poor students have almost all changed a lot.

However, there was no exception when they were awarded official positions. All three of them entered the Imperial Academy. For a while, everyone began to speculate in private.

In the evening, the Qionglin Banquet was held as scheduled, and by this time, the palace examination, which lasted for nearly four hours, was officially over.
