The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 294 Caused by a Poem
That's right, the three of them were originally artificial, even if they weren't the top picks, they were at least in the top few. I didn't expect that they were the bottom ones.

Song Zhun and Xu Shilian happily went to read the announcement, expecting to find their names on it.

So they looked at the top of the list first, but they didn't have their names. They thought in their hearts that there must be other people who are better than themselves.

Then I looked down again, but there was still no Yang Li's name on it, and it was already out of the hundred.

That is to say, it is no longer possible to directly confer official positions after a hundred or so, and can only be a small official now.

But in their hearts, being a small official is already good, as long as they are on the list, it will be fine.

They had no choice but to continue to read patiently. There were two hundred names, but they still didn't have their names.

This means that even if they can make the list, they will be out of the top [-], and they will not be eligible for official positions.

You can only wait for the vacancies, and these vacancies are not filled by others, or when all the vacancies are arranged, it will be your turn.

This backup is basically equivalent to being hopeless as an official, but they still bite the bullet and look down.

It's better to have one's own name appearing than nothing, and finally the hard work paid off. The names of the three of them appeared in the sight of the two of them. There was nothing wrong with them, they were still on the list.

But this name is really not good, appearing is more uncomfortable than not appearing, and it is almost a bit embarrassing.

Because the names of the three of them are quietly lying in the last three of the three hundred, which is the top three from the bottom.

In the past, it was said that Sun Shan lost his name. It was said that there was a student named Sun Shan who was at the bottom of the exam every time.

Therefore, to describe those who failed the rankings, they would say that they have lost their names. This position is the most embarrassing, so it's better not to go up.

The two of them took a closer look, yes, the hometown of this friend with the name is the two of them.

Yang Li is also that Yang Li, and the three of them are the bottom three. This fact is really unacceptable.

But the facts are in front of him and he has to believe, is he really that bad, can he only be at the end of this list?
Yang Li also couldn't believe what the two of them said, and he was confident that his talent was definitely the number one.

The way of governing the country I expounded is definitely what the Song court needs now. How can the court be so ignorant?
He claims to be full of ways to govern the country, but he can't even pass a small imperial examination.

Could it be that there is no future for him in this world, and is it that his talents are buried like this?

Yang Li no longer had the kind of lofty arrogance he had in the past few days, and looked a little decadent, just like the so-called spring breeze and horseshoe disease.

Now he is on the verge of loss, and naturally he will not be in a good mood, that kind of loneliness can be seen.

"Brother Yang is fine, no matter what we say, we are on the list, and we can still serve the country."

Although Song Zhun was also in a bad mood, but seeing Yang Li like this, he couldn't care less about the pain, so he comforted Yang Li directly.

"What you said to Brother Yang is right, Brother Song, no matter how you say it, we are still on the list. Compared with those who failed the list, we are still lucky."

Xu Shilian also followed Song Zhun to comfort Yang Li. Both of them are open-minded people by nature, even if they are sad, it is only a temporary thing.

"I think Yang Li is conceited and talented, and I have learned a lot, but the imperial examination turned out to be like this. It's not as good as the legend says, even if it's from the imperial court."

Yang Li was a little sad for this court, he didn't expect them to be so ignorant of talents, such a dynasty should still be the same as those short-lived dynasties of the Five Dynasties.

"By the way, my dear brothers, did you see Big Brother Zhao's name on it? He is more talented than us." Yang Li thought of Comrade Zhao Dexiu at this moment.

"No, I didn't see Brother Zhao Dexiu's name on it. Brother Song, did you see it? Maybe I was too anxious and didn't pay attention." Xu Shilian really didn't see the word Zhao Dexiu.

"I also didn't see the list. I didn't see Big Brother Zhao's name from head to toe."

After receiving Song Zhun's affirmative answer, Yang Li couldn't help it:

"Hmph, what's going on with the imperial court? I've seen Brother Zhao's talents. How come he won't be on the list? I really don't know what these adults do for food."

At this time, there was a lot of excitement outside, and a person was surrounded in the middle. These people were all trying to curry favor with him.

Xu Shilian lay beside Yang Li's ear and said:

"This person will be the No.2 of this big exam named Shi Leifei, and his father is General Youwei. It is said that none of the top three are civilians."

Just as he was speaking, Shi Leifei walked in and said triumphantly:
"Today, all the food and drinks for you will be on me. Let's eat and drink to your heart's content. My young master invites you."

No wonder he has the face of a nouveau riche. After all, he is Enke's No.2 and has a bright future in the future. It is still necessary to make a fuss now.

Yang Li originally wanted to leave, but was held back by Song Zhun. His reason was that he would be an official of the same dynasty in the future, and he still had to give these face.

No. 2 in the imperial examination appeared in this inn, and everyone was very happy. After all, this was from the same subject and the same year as his own, so we should have a care in the future.

Everyone was happy, Yang Li also pretended to be happy, and dealt with everyone who came to talk to him.

"Everyone, I, Shi, are happy today. I am going to compose a poem to cheer up the fun. What do you think?"

"Okay, Mr. Shi is a talented person who will definitely write extraordinary poems. Everyone, listen to how Mr. Shi composes poems."

Shi Leifei cleared his throat and started his poem writing plan:
"Shi is really happy today. He is No.2 on the Enke list. It is absolutely possible to get promoted and make a fortune. I hope you all have a good time."

Let me go, what kind of poem is this? It doesn't rhyme, and what's more, it doesn't have any literary talent. This can also be a poem.

It's not even as good as a doggerel. Is it pure nonsense? If it is true that such people are able to go to high school, God is really blind.

Yang Li seemed to have thought of something, and the two people around him also understood a little bit. It is definitely tricky for such a person to get No.2.

There have been many cases of fraud in the imperial examinations in the past, and everything was added. Now their imperial examinations this time may also have some shady activities in it.

Not only them, but some of the others who failed the exam were also dissatisfied. It was blind for such a person to be able to pass the exam.

At the same time, there is an idea in my heart, there must be some kind of black-box operation, if not, we are not convinced, and we will sue.

This Shi Leifei didn't know that because of his "famous poem", he actually found out the first case of fraud in the imperial court in the Song Dynasty.

He himself is also recorded in the history of the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty. You said what kind of poems you wrote, it's over now.
