Zhenguan thirteen years, Chang 'an City.
On the ninth day of April, the auspicious day of the zodiac, should seek wealth to see expensive, enter the house to open the market, study promotion.
Winter passed and spring came. The entire Chang 'an Fortress was full of life.
The scholars on the streets also took off their bulky winter clothes and changed into green folding fans. They gathered in groups of three to five and chatted merrily.
Of course, if someone were to observe carefully, they would notice that these scholars gathered on the streets would unconsciously look in the direction of the Gate of Heaven Influence, which was not far from the palace.
The ninth day of the fourth month was the day the results of the imperial examinations were released.
The place where the results were released was the Imperial Palace's Gate of Heaven Influence.
The Gate of Heaven Influence was a wide imperial road that was 3,300 feet long and 990 feet wide. It could accommodate 18 horse carriages traveling side by side, and it could also accommodate tens of thousands of people watching the results at the same time.
The fact that the imperial court had placed the results at the Gate of Heaven Influence also represented the importance the emperor placed on the imperial examinations.
What made the examinees even more excited was that every year on the day of the release of the results, the emperor would lead all the civil and military officials to climb the mountain and watch the results from the gate tower of the Gate of Heaven Influence.
This also meant that the high school candidates could show their faces in front of Tian Zi.
What kind of glory was this!
At this moment, the Sky Bearing Sect's announcement stage was packed with people. The examinees who participated this time were even more crowded in front of the stage. They were all standing on their tiptoes excitedly, waiting for the moment when the results would be announced.
In the crowd, there was a handsome young man wearing a green scholar's robe. He was also looking at the results platform nervously, and his face revealed a trace of anticipation.
This was the third day of Chen Qi's transmigration, and the loading process of the strongest reading system was 30%.
Although Chen Qi had already received the news of his passing, he was still anxious before the official announcement.
What was that?
How did Chen Qi know that he had passed the imperial examination before the results were released?
The reason was very simple. The reason why Chen Qi was able to know the news of his passing the imperial examination in advance was entirely because of the imperial examination system of this period.
Anyone who had studied history knew that the imperial examination system in the early days of the Great Tang was not perfect.
The imperial examinations did not have a nameless system. Who could pass the imperial examinations did not depend on the current emperor, Li Shimin, but on the officials who presided over the imperial examinations.
In this period, 99% of the court officials came from the various great clans.
Although Chen Qi was not born in the Seven Sects and Five Families in this life, he was still related to a large aristocratic family. Therefore, he could barely be classified as a member of an aristocratic family. He had a slight relationship, so he could be selected.
Of course, they would only be able to pass the examination. It was definitely impossible for them to compete for the top three.
Because the top three had already been taken by the top aristocratic families. It was already a blessing for a child from a small aristocratic family like him to be able to get a spot in the Secondary High School Entrance Examination. Why would he need a bicycle?
"Fortunately, my transmigration skills in this life are not bad, and I became a son of an aristocratic family who had just passed the imperial examination. Otherwise, if I wanted to stand out, I could only rely on those aristocratic families, or wait for Wu Zetian to take over.”
Chen Qi looked at the examinees who were rubbing shoulders with each other in the crowd and rejoiced in his heart.
Three days ago, he had transmigrated to this world of the Great Tang and become a scholar who had just finished the imperial examination. He had been told that he could only get a Jinshi in the imperial examination and that he could forget about getting into the top ten.
If one didn't enter the top 10, even if they participated in the court examinations, they wouldn't be able to become the top scorer.
Well, to put it simply, he was not qualified!
Not to mention the top scorer, even the second place and the top scorer were impossible.
Without entering the First-Class Roll, no matter how good the results of the court examinations were, and no matter how the emperor looked at it, it was impossible for her to become the top scholar, second place, and third most beautiful woman.
If the original body's father had not found a way through an official in Chang 'an, he would not even have been able to get a Jinshi.
Indeed, the imperial examinations of the Great Tang were just this dark.
Not to mention the Humble Class, even the children of the low-level aristocratic families had to be bribed if they wanted to pass the exam.
The Humble Class here wasn't really Humble Class, but rather the middle and small landlord class.
As for the ordinary people, it was already good enough for them to know where the gate of the Academy opened.
When Chen Qi thought of this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart."And those transmigrator seniors, all of them think that they can become the top scorer after coming to the Great Tang. They really think too much.”
Was it that easy to become the top scorer of the Great Tang?
Without the identity of a noble family or a common family, they would not even be able to enter the Academy, let alone the imperial examination.
If he couldn't enter the Academy, he couldn't learn the language of the Tang Dynasty, nor could he learn the meaning of the classics, and no one would recommend him.
It could be said that none of those who could come to Chang 'an City to participate in the last imperial examination were from poor families. Even the worst one was from a small aristocratic family.
The imperial examinations of the Great Tang were just this dark!
"That's why the students of the future are much luckier than the scholars of this era.”
"It's not like this era. If you're not from an aristocratic family, you don't even have the qualifications to compete with others.”
"There are also those who say that Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and the others are from poor backgrounds. They are all bullsh * t. If these people were really from poor backgrounds, it would be strange if they could read and learn the art of war.”
"F * ck, all of them are from aristocratic families. No matter how bad they are, they are still commoners. There is not a single person at the bottom.”
Chen Qi kept complaining in his heart. It was obvious that he was full of resentment towards this era.
"Release the results, release the results!"
Just as Chen Qi was complaining in his heart, the loud cry of the ceremonial officer came from not far away.
The ceremonial officer came to the gate of Sky Bearing with the list and solemnly placed it on the stage.
In an instant, all the students rushed up and stared at the rankings hungrily, wanting to see their names.
"Found it!"
"Second-Class Roll, 24th!"
After searching for a long time, Chen Qi finally found his name at the very end of the list.
As expected, his ranking was not high. He was ranked 24th on the Jinshi list, the kind that was lucky enough to enter the list.
Yes, he was really lucky to enter the roll because there were only twenty-six names on the Second-Class Roll. Combined with the ten-ranked list on the First-Class Roll, there were only thirty-six scholars in this year's Imperial College Entrance Examination.
Tens of thousands of examinees, but only 36 were accepted. This acceptance rate was really a little scary.
Chen Qi was ranked 24th on the Second-Class Roll, which was the 34th place among the 36 Jinshi.
He was ranked third from the bottom among all the scholars. If he wasn't lucky enough to enter the rankings, then what was he?
As for the top ten on the First-Class Roll?
After Chen Qi found his name, he looked up at the First-Class Roll.
Top Scorer of the First-Class Roll, Chen E!
First-Class Roll's second place, Chui Ming!
First-Class Roll's third place, Lu Shao!
......
Tenth on the First-Class Roll, Cheng Ying!
Alright, Chen Qi had to admit that he did not know any of these ten people.
After all, it had only been three days since he transmigrated, and the memories in his mind had yet to be sorted out. It was normal that he did not know the top ten scholars.
Besides, who among the top ten wasn't a disciple of a great clan? The original owner was from a small clan, so they weren't in the same circle. It was normal that they didn't know each other.
Therefore, Chen Qi only glanced at the First-Class Roll and stopped paying attention to it. He stood there and thought about how he could amaze the world in the court examinations.
