Everyone thinks that I created cultivation

In front of the Golden Luan Hall, hundreds of students dressed as literati stood here early, waiting for the call from the hall.

When the officials passed by here, they would also slow down a little and focus their attention on them, but few of them opened their mouths to talk to these people.

After all, it was in front of the Golden Luan Hall, and the morning court was about to begin again.Even if they wanted to make friends, they would never choose this time.

Lin Lexian and Mu Huarong came here hand in hand, the two of them were still talking while walking, and they were obviously much more relaxed than other officials.

Seeing the crowd, Lin Lexian stopped. "There are many more Gongsheng students this year than in previous years, which shows the prosperity of our country."

"What Master Lin said is very true." Mu Huarong saw Liu Yu standing at the front of the crowd at a glance.

This group of people obviously stood according to their ranking in the test, and Liu Yu was the 'Hui Yuan' of this test.

If Liu Yu won the title of No. [-] Scholar again today, he would be the No. [-] scholar, even Mu Huarong would not be as good.

Mu Huarong was their No. [-] pick that year, but he wasn't a 'Hui Yuan'.

The knowledge of literati is also uneven.Some are good at poetry, while others are good at policy theory.In terms of policy theory, some people are good at military affairs, while others focus on people's livelihood.If the topic is something you are not good at, you will not be able to use your knowledge at all, and the ranking will be low.

So far, Liu Yu has not lived up to their expectations.

Mu Huarong's heart was depressed, but it was difficult to arouse joyful emotions.

Really these days, Liu Yu is too uncooperative with them!

In order to create opportunities for Mu Xin, Mu Ze went to the company barracks to train with Liu Yu and the others every day.Not only did he suffer a lot, but his body also tended to develop towards those vulgar soldiers.

In order not to show deliberation, Mu Xin didn't go to the military training camp every day, but he would go every two days, and there were many opportunities to meet Liu Yu.

However, no matter what Mu Ze, Mu Xin and Yan Wei expressly hinted, Liu Yu just didn't take the initiative to talk to Mu Xin.

Mu Huarong couldn't help asking Yan Wei to find out what Liu Yu was thinking, but it turned out that Liu Yu was a good guy, and his words like "a gentleman ends with courtesy" were particularly righteous.

If it wasn't for the fact that he would mention "parents' order and matchmaker's words" from time to time, and always looked at Mu Xin with some kind of friendship, Mu Huarong would have thought that Liu Yu was not interested in Mu Xin.

Mu Xin couldn't help it, and took the opportunity to talk to Liu Yu several times.Liu Yu, as he said, 'stopped at the ceremony', as if he was facing the accompanying officials of Mu Ze.Except for a little embarrassment on his face, no one can fault him.

From Liu Yu's entry to Beijing to the examination, Mu Xin's relationship with him was not even close to acquaintance.

He thought that the results of the general examination would be better, but he never thought that Liu Yu was obviously determined to be the champion, so he simply put aside his daily martial arts training, and thanked guests behind closed doors to delve into current affairs.

Before today, Mu Huarong hadn't paid attention to news related to Liu Yu for a while.

Lin Lexian glanced across the faces of the crowd, and smiled slightly. "I see that you are a little nervous."

"Today is the day when the palace examination results are released, and the top three will be decided today. How can I not be nervous." Mu Huarong looked very understanding, "I was just like them back then, feeling uneasy and uneasy."

"The topic of this imperial examination is 'natural disasters'. The floods in the south of the Yangtze River have been raging a while ago, so everyone must know the information related to natural disasters and man-made disasters. The topic is not difficult for everyone, and they can all display their own strengths."

Only then did Lin Lexian look at Liu Yu, "Since my own strength has been brought into play, no matter what the ranking is, I can't call it a regret, so why worry?"

"Taught." Mu Huarong saluted Lin Lexian.

Seeing that Liu Yu's face relaxed a lot, Lin Lexian turned around and stood at the forefront of the civil servants.He said a few more words here, originally for Liu Yu.Other students are not qualified to make him spend so much effort.

The bell and drum rang three times, and the ministers entered the hall one after another, and all saluted Yu Chengyuan in the hall.

"Play early if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do!" Fei Yang sang.

Lin Lexian took a step forward, looking at the right side of the imperial case, on which there was a stack of test papers, which were obviously the answer papers for this palace test. "Your Majesty, the Palace Examination should be the most important thing in today's affairs."

No matter which country attaches great importance to talents, no one can fault his words.

"Bring the top three into the palace." Yu Chengyuan did not directly respond to Lin Lexian, but directly passed someone into the palace, which showed his approval of Lin Lexian's statement. "Liu Yu, Liuning County, Jiangning County, Dong Zishi, Jiuming County, Zhouhe County, and Zhuang Feiwen, Changling County, Nanyang County."

"The top three enter the palace..." Fei Yang sang loudly.

"Biography..." The guard outside the door then sang loudly.

The ministers couldn't help but looked at each other, with similar doubts on their faces.In the past, when passing the top three, it always starts from No.3, directly commensurate with "Tanhua", followed by "No. [-]", and the last is the No. [-] pick.

They just clearly saw that Liu Yu's test paper was placed in the position of 'No. [-] Scholar', but he was the first to be mentioned, and he didn't have a title.This situation is obviously different from previous years!

"Your Majesty, I don't know how the three ranks are arranged?" Wei Jinglun couldn't help asking when he saw the three people walking into the hall.

"In terms of the answer sheet, Liu Yu of Liuning County, Jiangning County can win the first prize." Yu Chengyuan glanced at Liu Yu's answer sheet.

The content on it is to explain the way to improve the river embankment.It is nothing more than converting a small part of the drawings given by Mu Jin into text.Even if it is only a small part, it is enough to make people's eyes shine.

Yu Chengyuan didn't feel dissatisfied with Liu Yu's actions, this was what they arranged in advance.However, he never thought of using this to hand-pick Liu Yu as the number one scholar.

"Liu Yu is from Liuning County, Jiangning County. He has personally participated in disaster relief in Jiangning County. He also used floods as the subject of his answer sheet this time. He inevitably borrowed examples of flood relief in the south of the Yangtze River, which seems to be a coincidence."

"If it's just a trick, Your Majesty won't want to name him as the number one scholar, Liu Yu must have something special." Lin Lexian heard that Liu Yu had a trick, but he was not in a hurry.

Yu Chengyuan has always disliked people who take tricks, but now he is not angry, and looks a little happy.

If Liu Yu was really just playing tricks, Yu Chengyuan might even cover it up for him.After all, Yu Chengyuan also wanted to befriend that Master Mu.

"There are references in the article, and there are many innovations. I quite appreciate the innovations." Yu Chengyuan did not hide his appreciation.

Then he restrained his expression and looked at the three of Liu Yu, "I want to re-create the test for the top three in the school, so as to determine the top three rankings, what do you think?"

The ministers nodded one after another, feeling that this is more fair and just. "Your Majesty is wise."

The three people who entered the hall also saluted, and the other two were naturally happy.

If the ranking is determined by this answer sheet, they will miss No.1.Re-examination at this time is one more chance.Even if they performed abnormally this time, they were still among the top three.Retaking the exam will do them more good than harm.

Liu Yu was equally happy, for the sake of Senior Mu and His Majesty's plan, he would come up with a water control strategy on top of the palace examination.But this is obviously not his real strength, so he deserves the title of No. [-] scholar.

Before the palace examination, he had mentioned this matter to His Majesty, and His Majesty only said that he had made his own arrangements.Now that he learned of the re-examination, he was full of joy. .

The attendant quickly brought up three desks and placed them in three positions.For a few old and weak ministers, I took some seats and put them on one side.

"Your Majesty, how can we take our seats in this hall?" Wei Jinglun asked quickly when His Majesty asked them to take their seats.Above this hall, where is their seat.

"It takes a long time to answer the questions, so I can't make you Ai Qing too tired." Yu Chengyuan obviously didn't care, "The three of you can answer the questions with peace of mind after you Ai Qing are seated."

If these veterans move their hands and feet from time to time, it will really affect the answering questions.Wei Jinglun also got the inheritance of the exercises, and his health has improved a lot in the past few days.Although he has not fully recovered, he will not cough all the time, and it will not affect the three of them.

"Yes, my lords, take your seats! Don't disappoint the emperor!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Then everyone took their seats.

"Your Majesty, please come up with a question." Liu Yu and the three stood in front of the table one by one, and bowed to Yu Chengyuan.

Thinking of the form of the border, Yu Chengyuan asked a question. "The ancestors have emphasized the military system since the founding of the country. Let us discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the military system based on today's situation."

None of the three were from the frontier, and Liu Yu, who was the only one who had contact with the soldiers, had never talked about the frontier with others. This topic was indeed fair and just for the three of them.

After getting the title, the three of them didn't write directly, and all of them showed a bit of thinking on their faces.After pondering for a moment, the three wrote their pens one after another.

The ministers in the hall fell silent very cooperatively, and there was only the occasional small sound of paper moving in the whole hall.

The time when the three handed in the papers was basically in no particular order.

Yu Chengyuan reviewed the contents of the answer sheet, and looked at Liu Yu with obvious approval.

The previous answer sheet Liu Yu obviously borrowed from Mu Jin's drawings, but this answer sheet is enough to prove his own strength.Although not as stunning as the previous one, it can still make people's eyes shine.

Putting the three answer sheets back on the table, Yu Chengyuan looked up at the person beside Liu Yu. "Dong Zishi of Jiuming County, Zhouhe County has a profound knowledge, and he can bear the name of 'Tanhua'."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Dong Zishi took a step forward to thank him, but there was not much joy on his face.He already knew that he was among the top three, and what he wants now is naturally better results.He only won the last place, and his regret was more than joy.

Yu Chengyuan didn't stop his gaze, "Zhuang Feiwen from Changling County, Nanyang County is a man of great learning, and he can be the '[-]nd place'."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhuang Feiwen couldn't help looking at Liu Yu after thanking him.

"Liu Yu in Liuning County, Jiangning County is well-read, quick-witted, and hard-working in mechanics...he deserves the name of the number one scholar." Yu Chengyuan praised Liu Yu a lot.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Yu couldn't help showing a smile on his face.Apart from his joy of being the No. [-] scholar, it was more because he lived up to the expectations of Mu Jin and Yu Chengyuan.

Yu Chengyuan put the answer sheet aside, "Fei Yang, after the imperial court, these three answer sheets will be announced together with the palace examination answer sheet."

"The servant will arrange it later." Fei Yang respectfully agreed.

"In addition to the three, there are also hundreds of Jinshi places in this imperial examination, all of which are listed on the list of Jinshi, and you can check it out." Yu Chengyuan passed on the list of Jinshi written by himself.

Those who can pass the general examination and participate in the palace examination are all talented people.Unless you make a big mistake, you can become a Jinshi, which is recorded on the list of Jinshi.

"Yes." The ministers quickly responded.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Yu Chengyuan swept across the ministers.

Hearing Yu Chengyuan's question, Liu Yu and the others hurriedly retreated to one side.The three won the top three, and they will enter the court as officials in a few days, but they don't need to leave the hall directly.

"I have something to say." A minister said.

The morning court was going on as usual, and the ministers were still discussing matters. Suddenly there was the sound of a horse honking outside the hall, followed by a high-pitched shout. "Report--"

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from the front line!"

Few people ride horses in the palace, unless it is an urgent report.Reporting directly in front of the Golden Luan Hall is even more urgent.

Yu Chengyuan didn't care about anything else, and stood up directly. "Present."

He went through the letter again, his eyes were a little dark.

"Your Majesty?" Wei Jinglun asked cautiously.

"Linyuan City was defeated, Taiwei Zuo Hao disappeared, the officials in the city led the people to abandon the city and retreat..." Yu Chengyuan tightened his grip on the letter.

Yu Chengyuan had been alert for a long time, but he never thought that it would be so tragic.Zuo Hao has already broken through the master, but he has no resistance?The original country has also produced masters above the master?Even if there are masters who have just broken through, Zuo Hao should not even have time for summons.

"What?!" There was an uproar in the hall.
