Chapter 206: Gold list title
Chapter 206 Title on the Gold List
The Chongxian Hall released the list today.
Li Shimin deliberately took a day off and came to Chongxian Hall early.
Another museum owner, Li Gang, also came today. This eighty-year-old prince Shaobao, Zhan Shi, and scholar of the Chongxian Pavilion leaned on the dragon head stick given by Li Shimin, and he was in good spirits.
"Chongxian Hall is really inseparable from Saburo. Once you come back, the atmosphere in the hall is different. These students should be much more energetic."
Li Gang praised Qin Lang very bluntly in front of Chu Suiliang and other straight scholars, and Chu Suiliang smiled awkwardly there.
Perhaps the disaster is under control now, so Li Shimin is also very happy today.
He was chatting with the parents of other students in Chongxian Hall. Today, almost all the parents of the students in the hall are here, which fully demonstrates the strong background of the students in Chongxian Hall.
Emperor Li Shimin has five sons studying in the library, and the prince inherits Qianchu, Li Kuan, Han Wang, Li Kewei, Li Taiyan, Wang Liyou.
Several prime ministers who participated in politics also had sons studying in the library, such as Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai, Changsun Wuji's son Changsun Chong, Du Ruhui's son Du He, etc.
A group of ministers were there praising that the prince and the kings performed well here, with good grades, and so on. They all said there that the prince will definitely win the championship today.
Li Shimin is very useful, and he is very happy to stroke his short beard.
It's just a mid-term exam, but Qin Lang's competition is the same as the imperial imperial examination competition. This is completely copied from later generations. You must know that even in kindergartens in later generations, there will often be competitions and the like. Parents don't dare to miss it. .
Qin Lang specially made the results of this midterm exam very grand, and invited all the parents of the students to come to participate.
There are even gold title titles, list singing, awards and other links. What is needed is a sense of ceremony, which can not only enhance the sense of honor of the students, but also increase the sense of presence of Chongxian Hall and teachers.
It is of course beneficial to have a sense of presence in front of the emperor.
"Now, I invite the Bachelor of Hongwenguan, the Imperial College Jijiu, the prince Zuo Shuzi, and the master of Confucian classics, Bachelor Kong, to roll our names on the gold list!"
Today the list was released, Qin Lang specially asked people to build a new wall in the south courtyard in front of the museum, which was more than ten feet high.
Several officials of the Chongxian Hall pasted six vertical jute papers on the wall of the list.
Because the paper is yellow, it is named Jinbang.
The exam papers for the Chongxian Hall mid-term exam have all been graded. All the candidates’ papers have been disassembled and put together in a lacquer box. On the box are the candidates’ names, total grades, and scores .
Because there are more than 100 students, Qin Lang's gold list this time only has the top 36 titles, and the last 70 or so are not on the list, and will only be announced later.
This is also to enhance the sense of honor of this gold list.
An official of the Chongxian Hall held up a lacquer box in front of Kong Yingda.
Kong Yingda took over and announced the roll call.
"The thirty-sixth place in the nine-year mid-term exam of Wude, a student of Chongxian Hall, Sun Shan!"
The ranking is sung from the back to the front, and the last one is Sun Shan.
Sun Shan's name was sung, and one of the students stood up and responded loudly, "Here!"
Chu Suiliang then stood in front of the list wall with a pen and ink, and wrote Sun Shan's name on the last line of the gold list.
"Whose child is this Sun Shan?" Li Shimin sat on one side of the viewing platform, a little strange to the child who stood up.
Qin Lang accompanied him, and replied, "This is the son of the Fuchun Sun family from the Fuchun River in the south of the Yangtze River. The Fuchun Sun family is a descendant of Sun Quan in the Eastern Wu Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period. Sun Shan's father is the former minister of the Ministry of Industry."
"Oh." Li Shimin nodded, but this Sun Shangshu didn't come today, because he was sent to serve as the governor of Shuzhong not long ago, which is regarded as a relegation.
Sun Shan stepped forward to take his lacquered test paper box from Kong Yingda, and presented it to the emperor respectfully.
Li Shijie took it from the waiter, opened Sun Shan's test paper and looked at it, and found that the handwriting was quite neat, and the answers were indeed not bad, especially the Moyi part of the Confucian classics test, which was very good for the filial piety. Good understanding. As for the composition questions on the literature test paper, the Fu was also well written.
The thirty-sixth place has such a level, which makes Li Shimin very satisfied.
"Give Sun Shan a set of brushes and inkstones, and ten sticks of jute paper!"
When the emperor was happy, he ordered a reward.
Sun Shan didn't expect that there would be a reward from the emperor, his face turned purple from excitement, and he quickly thanked him.
Kong Yingda continued to roll names, and Chu Suiliang, a great calligrapher, also continued to put his names on the gold list.
Li Shimin found that among the students on the list, among the thirty-six full-time students he hand-picked, there were only a small number of them, and there were more students accompanying them.
Li Shimin was a little unhappy. He looked at the test papers presented by the students more casually, but he also admitted that each paper was really good, and the ranking was no problem.
Twenty-six names have been inscribed on the gold list.
There are ten names left.
"Second A roll call!"
Li Shimin asked Qin Lang, "What do you mean by Erjia?"
"Your Majesty, in this exam, the ranks are ranked to stimulate the honor of the bachelors. It is also a reward before and after punishment. Therefore, out of more than a hundred students, only the top thirty-six are on the list. They are called the top three, and the top three are twenty-six. , there are seven people in the second class, and only three people in the first class."
Li Shimin nodded, this is equivalent to the thirty-six students on the gold list, and there is still a third class.
Undoubtedly, the second class is better than the third class, and the first class is even better than the second class.
None of his five sons are on the list yet.
Is it possible to be in the first and second grades, but this is not very good, is it? Li Shimin thought to himself, among the five sons, Chengqian, Qingque and Li Ke are all hardworking and usually do well in their studies, but Li Kuan and Li You are very average, their grades are definitely not as good as the ones that have been announced Hello top three students.
Qin Lang said that to be fair, open and just, it is inappropriate to put the two of them in the second class.
"Tenth place, Li Qian!"
The last place in the second class is Li Qian, the second grandson of Li Jing.
"Ninth place, Gongsun Chong!"
"Eighth place, Cheng Jun!"
Li Shimin said unexpectedly, "Isn't this the **** of the Zhijie family? Didn't expect such good grades?"
"If he is willing to study hard, his grades will naturally not let him down." Qin Lang replied.
"Seventh place, Du He!"
"Sixth place, Li Ke!"
Li Shimin twisted his body there a little anxiously, and finally heard his son's name when he was the third in the second class, but it was not Li Kuan or Li You, but Li Ke.
He was a little surprised. He thought that King of Han should be able to enter the top three in the first class, but he only ranked third in the second class. Could it be that the second child and the fifth child are not on the list?
"Fifth place in the gold list, Pei Xingjian second place in the second class!"
"Fourth place, first place in second class, Li Tai!"
When the name came out, Li Shimin was even more shocked.
The young bird who has always studied hard and has excellent academic performance is only the first in the second class?
He turned his head to look at Qin Lang, his eyes were full of displeasure, but Qin Lang said, "Your Majesty, this exam is graded in anonymity, and the teachers from the Imperial College are asked to grade the papers, or ten teachers cross-marked the papers, and finally came to the conclusion." The result is very fair!"
Li Shimin closed his mouth, but his breath was already a little heavy.
At this time, he was just like other parents of students, staring at the gold list and his child's ranking.
Finally arrived at the last piece of jute paper.
"A roll call!"
"Third place, Tan Hua Lang, Wei Dai Price."
Li Shimin's face became more tense. Wei Taigui is the son of Wei Ting, a descendant of Jingzhao Wei's family. Naturally, his family education is profound. Wei Ting was once a confidant of Jiancheng. Later, he was exiled due to the Yang Wengan incident, but now he is his minister. .
Of course he has no objection to the Wei family, but there are only three in the first class.
Li Shimin is a little flustered now, he even has no reason to worry that Chengqian will not be on the list, even though it is impossible.
"Second place, second place"
"Li Cunxiao!"
When the name came out, not only Li Shimin was stunned, but even Fang Xuanling and other prime ministers were stunned.
Who is this Li Cunxiao, a son of the clan?
Li Shimin also looked at Qin Lang suspiciously.
Qin Lang coughed twice. In fact, he had never read the list himself. He mainly wanted to keep it fair and avoid changing things after reading it. No one would have thought that Li Cunxiao would be ranked second.
"Your Majesty, this Li Cunxiao is an orphan I took in when I was on a mission to Hebei last time. His real name is Chou'er. I saw that he was pitiful, so I took him in as a foster son and named him Cunxiao. I came to the embassy by order and brought him along. Accompanied by reading, I didn't expect this kid to study hard..."
"An orphan adopted by Hebei? Second place?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, I didn't know that he would be ranked No. 2. I didn't read the list in advance."
Kong Yingda sang the name on the stage, and she was a little flustered. Of the thirty-six Chongxian Hall Zhengsheng students, not even one-third made the list.
When he opened the last paint box and saw the name, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Number one, number one scholar, the crown prince takes over!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief following the singing.
Finally nothing happened, if he sang a song about faithfulness and trustworthiness, he would be killed.
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still not very happy.
Of the five sons, only three sons made it to the list.
Fang Xuanling's old face over there is also a bit embarrassing. He is a dignified prime minister, and the Fang family can be regarded as a noble family after all, but his son Fang Yiai is unexpectedly not on the list.
"Huailiang, where are the kings of Chu and Yan? Didn't they take the exam?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Fang, there are no students absent from this midterm exam. There are 113 total candidates and 113 actual exams."
"Students Li Kuan and Li You, like Fang Yiai, the prime minister's son, are both famous losers!"
"Famous Sun Shan?" Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at the huge yellow list. The last one was named Sun Shan, and the name "lost Sun Shan" meant no name on the list.
Shame.
Qin Lang asked someone to bring Li Kuan and Li You's test papers to Li Shimin, and asked someone to bring Fang Yiai's test papers to Fang Xuanling.
Other parents whose children were not named on Sun Shan's list also asked Qin Lang for their son's test papers one after another. They all gritted their teeth, obviously with murderous intent, but it was obvious that their murderous intent was directed at their son.
Qin Lang never refused anyone who came, and asked people to hand over all their children's test papers to them for review.
Li Shimin looked down at the test papers of his two sons, and was at a loss for words. He was the first to read Sun Shan's papers, and he was very impressed. After a comparison, he knew that he was indeed not as good as Sun Shan, especially Li You, who even studied classics. Many scripture-posting questions on the test paper were left blank.
Fang Xuanling over there also became more and more annoyed the more he watched, this **** really embarrassed the Fang family.
Those who are on the list, the parents are all smiling and complacent. Those who lost their name to Sun Shan all gritted their teeth with murderous intent.
Qin Lang thought to himself, it is estimated that many students will eat fried pork with bamboo shoots tonight.
"Next, please Your Majesty give a lecture to the bachelors, and then please ask Li Shaobao to present certificates and prizes to the top three students on the list!"
Li Shimin responded with a black face and a snort, but he was still a little unhappy.
Over there, Li Kuan, the King of Chu, and Li You, the King of Yan, already had their heads lowered so much that they were about to tuck into their crotches.
