Chen An hugged the red embroidered ball and was at a loss.
Beside him.
Tanhua, who was half a horse behind, could not help but laugh out loud.
The other scholars who followed behind also felt uncomfortable.
However, at this moment.
"Little Top Scholar, look here!"
"Little Top Scholar, look here!"
"Little Top Scholar, look here!"
In
an instant, a bright red embroidered ball was thrown over.
There were so many of them that it seemed as if they were going to dye the sky red.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Chen An was smashed, Chen An was smashed again, Chen An was smashed again, Chen An was smashed again…
Countless embroidered balls instantly drowned Chen An.
Even the second-place winner and the top scorer behind him each received an embroidered ball because of the small top scorer.
Xue Yanzhi and Zhou Yuanji were extremely happy and quickly looked in the direction of the embroidered ball.
They were two beautiful and dignified girls.
Seeing the second place and the flower man looking over, the girl shyly lowered her head.
This action touched the hearts of the two of them.
Eh, there's a chance!
The ancients did not deceive me: there are really beautiful women in books.
On both sides of the street.
The young ladies of the various manors who were throwing embroidered balls started to quarrel loudly.
"The little champion received my ball first.”
"Nonsense, it's clearly mine!”
"None of you are. I was the first to throw the embroidered ball! The Little Top Scholar picked up mine first!"
The
quarrel was so loud that it drowned out the shouts of the residents.
At this moment, suddenly!
A jealous male voice rang out,""Don't you know shame? The little top scholar is only seven years old this year. What about you guys?"
"What about us? I'm sixteen this year, isn't that only nine years older?”
"I'm only fourteen, only seven years older!”
"I'm fifteen, eight years older!"
"As the saying goes, a third-year female student should hug a gold brick. The girl was a sixth-year-old girl, and she was the one who had been crowned with a golden mountain. So what if the woman is older? Couldn't she marry the little scholar?”
"Yes, yes,"
The man retreated on the spot.
The Tang Empire was open-minded, which could be seen from the clothes of the women.
Therefore, this was not a problem.
"Sisters, don't throw anymore! I'm engaged and have a little wife!"
Chen Anqiu stuck his head out and said gloomily.
Hearing this, the young ladies of the various manors stopped arguing and turned to other targets.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
This time, it wasn't Chen An who was smashed. Instead, it was the second-place beauty and the 18 Jinshi behind them.
The
parade continued to move forward.
Along the way, there were embroidered balls everywhere.
As they walked, they were smashed all the way, causing the Jinshi to be overjoyed.
There was no better joy in life than today!
Awesome!
The parade lasted for four hours.
From the Imperial Palace's Gate of Heaven Bearing, it went straight to the north gate of Chang 'an. Then, it went around the north gate to the east and arrived at the Imperial Palace's east gate.
On this day.
The Jinke Jinshi had seen the most prosperous scenery in Chang 'an and the beautiful Chang' an flowers.
Until noon.
The parade finally ended.
The emperor summoned the Ministry of Rites to set up a banquet in Chang 'an's largest restaurant to entertain the Jinke Jinshi.
The Minister of Rites, one of the nine ministers, represented the emperor.
At the luncheon that day.
Other than Chen An, everyone was drunk.
Some of the Jinshi students even cried as they drank.
The Minister of Rites did not blame him. After all, he had seen this kind of scene too many times.
Especially those from the Humble Class.
However…the
Minister of Rites suddenly turned his head and looked at the top scholar beside him.
The top scorer was eating fruits happily.
The Minister of Rites smiled and said,"This child…"
After the luncheon, the scholars of the Jin family stood up unsteadily and excused themselves from the Minister of Rites to go home.
Chen An jumped off the stool and prepared to leave.
At this moment.
The Minister of Rites suddenly said,""Wait, Little Top Scholar!"
"What is it?"
Chen An was puzzled.
"The Emperor has ordered the new top scorer to enter the palace tomorrow to meet the Emperor. This is the old rule of the previous dynasty."
Hearing this, Chen An was overjoyed.
"Yes, I will be there on time! Minister, farewell!
Chen An cupped his fists and ran out of the restaurant.
The Minister of Rites was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Didn't Tian Zi say that this little fellow had a strange temper and didn't accept the previous two imperial edicts? And this time, he had only brought a verbal order, so why did the little fellow accept it?
Forget it, forget it.
He didn't want to think about it anymore. It was better to return to the palace and report this good news to His Majesty.
In the Imperial Palace.
Hearing the report from the Minister of Rites, Li Shi Min was overjoyed.
He had long wanted to see the world-famous Peasant prodigy with his own eyes. Today, he finally accepted the imperial edict to "enter the palace to meet the emperor".
Good!
That was great!
"Men!" Li Shi Min shouted.
The eunuch immediately ran into the main hall.
"Your Majesty, please instruct me!"
"Pass down the decree: All officials of Chang 'an from the fifth rank and above will enter the palace early tomorrow morning for a court meeting. I want to meet the top scholar with all the civil and military officials in the court!”
The Minister of Rites was overjoyed.
That little guy was too arrogant. Tomorrow, everyone must kill his spirit. Don't brag about how the game has been going for three years.
If you flattened the plains for three years, wouldn't that mean that we're all pigs?
Could it be that all of us are inferior to a mere child?
Just wait!
I'll definitely teach you a lesson tomorrow!
"Here!"
The eunuchs of the Central Palace agreed and quickly left the palace to deliver the decree…
At this moment, no one knew why Chen An had not accepted the decree the first two times and why he had accepted it the third time.
Could it really be as Chen An said: To take the imperial examination?
No!
No!
Definitely not!
The real reason might be that the time was not right.
Chen An seemed to be waiting for an opportunity.
On that day,
the sky would be overturned.
…
Chang 'an. Chen Manor.
When Chen An returned to his house, the sound of firecrackers could be heard.
The neighbors on Vermilion Bird Street sent their butlers to deliver gifts.
"Acquaintance" like Li Jing and Marquis Wu even sent their sons to congratulate them.
The entire residence was decorated with lanterns and streamers, making it extremely lively.
"Congratulations to the young master for passing the third-year exam and becoming the top scorer in high school!”
"Congratulations to the young master for passing the third-year exam and becoming the top scorer in high school!”
"Congratulations to the young master for passing the third-year exam and becoming the top scorer in high school!”……
The servants congratulated him in unison.
"Reward, great reward!"
Miss Chen beamed and gave out strings of copper coins.
If she was still in her husband's house or her mother's house, she could even bring An 'an to pay her respects to her ancestors.
The Chen family had produced a top scorer!
This was a joyous occasion worthy of consoling his ancestors.
Unfortunately…
sigh!
"Mother, why are your eyes red again?”Chen An asked cutely.
Miss Chen smiled and said,""Mother is happy for you!"
"Oh!"
Chen An nodded in confusion.
"Bring good wine and good dishes!"
The butler who had been borrowed from Li Jing's residence shouted.
Countless good wine and dishes were brought out from the kitchen and placed on the tables of the guests.
Everyone began to enjoy the banquet.
At
this moment, no one knew what would happen tomorrow.
It was a major event that shook the imperial court.
Not only did it change the political structure of the Great Tang, but it also affected the entire world and the future of Earth…
I, Chen An, want to be the Prime Minister!
Who dared to refuse?
