One wrong step leads to another, and in the end, everything is lost.
After all, if one can become a grandmaster.
Their temperament is certainly different from that of ordinary people.
There are people in this world who value emotions as much as Ye Liuyun.
There are also people as deranged and insane as Gu Fengzi.
Who knows which one Su Yu is?
But sometimes, when faced with enormous temptation...
Humans are inherently gamblers.
At least Emperor Qing was more willing to take this gamble.
Because the temptations presented to him were too great.
There was a turning point with Su Yu.
He can achieve what he wants to do years in advance, and do it to the greatest extent possible.
Let him capture Gu Fengzi, Ku He, and Ye Liuyun all at once!
After thinking it over, Emperor Qing wrote a long poem and immediately selected the top three winners of the palace examination.
And the first place in the top category is naturally Su Yu.
His talent is undeniable.
However, before that decision was made.
Emperor Qing did not intend to start writing.
After all, Emperor Qing's decision would have been different.
Then Su Yu, being a dying man, had no need to participate.
……
The next day was the day the results of the palace examination were announced.
Unlike the provincial examination, the palace examination did not require such a long wait.
The results are usually released on the third day after the exam.
The list announcing the results of the palace examination is also known as the Golden List.
The palace examination usually doesn't eliminate candidates, but it does rank them.
The rankings are divided into three groups.
Three people were awarded the title of Jinshi (进士) in the first rank.
They are the top three scholars: the first-place scholar, the second-place scholar, and the third-place scholar.
The top scholar (状元) is naturally the first-place winner in the first-class ranking, followed by the second-place winner (榜眼) and the third-place winner (探花).
The number of people who were granted the title of Jinshi (进士) in the second class was considerable.
The third-ranked scholar was granted the title of Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), and a number of such individuals were
Therefore, people often say that passing the imperial examination with flying colors is like passing the highest level of the imperial examination.
Today, the results were announced, and Kyoto was bustling with activity.
Wang Qinian arrived at the Su residence very early, and then Su Yu went to the site to check the list.
Su Yu looked at Wang Qinian with a surprised expression.
"Brother Wang, what happened to your face?"
No wonder Su Yu was surprised.
Wang Qinian's dark circles were really too heavy.
It has become as if it has become a national treasure.
What did he do last night?
Wang Qinian yawned and shook his head.
"No problem."
"I know that Brother Su's palace examination results will be released today."
"I was so excited last night that I didn't sleep a wink."
"Brother Su, I wish you the best of luck in winning first place again."
Although Brother Su's sword cleaved the moonlight last night, making him famous throughout the capital.
This caused him to spend an entire night at the Censorate as well.
However, he dared not speak carelessly about the supervisory bureau's unethical overtime practices.
The main reason was that they didn't dare to speak ill of the dean behind his back, so they could only make things up on the spot.
Su Yu chuckled at this.
Wang Qinian really knows how to flatter without fail.
No matter what you say, it won't affect his flattery.
However, it was also because they set off too early.
So when the three little ones from the Fan family came to the Su residence, they found nothing there.
When they arrived at the list of successful candidates, Wang Qinian naturally squeezed to the front.
He pointed excitedly to the first place and exclaimed.
"Brother Su, look! You're in first place!"
"Brother Su, congratulations! You've become the top scholar!"
Wang Qinian's eyes curved into crescent moons, and his face was filled with joy.
Su Yu smiled faintly and nodded.
Next came the beating of gongs and drums, and the crackling of firecrackers.
Su Yu, following custom, paraded through the streets adorned with flowers, her horse galloping lightly through the capital.
Experience the feeling of being a top scholar in ancient times, and enjoy the beauty of Chang'an in a single day.
The news that Su Yuzhong became the top scholar in the imperial examination.
In less than an hour, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Kyoto.
Whether they came to witness the sword god's prowess or were drawn by the young champion.
Young men and women gathered on Chang'an Avenue.
You should know that Su Yu just cut down the moonlight with a single sword last night and earned the title of Sword God!
Today, having once again achieved the highest rank in the imperial examination, he is naturally riding high on his success.
The city was deserted as everyone flocked to see this eighteen-year-old top scholar!
"Why are there so many people?"
"There's only one top scholar, and we get one every three years."
"Top scholars are common, but how many such handsome young top scholars have you ever seen?"
"Mr. Su is also the miracle doctor who cured my terminal illness!"
"Not only that, he's also the Sword God who cleaved the moonlight with a single sword last night!"
"What a handsome face! What an upright posture!"
"..."
He was dressed in bright, dazzling clothes.
Just like the rising sun, shining brightly!
The hairpin, sparkling like stars, reflected on Su Yu's handsome face.
Astride his steed, he stood tall and straight as a pine tree, exuding confidence and high spirits!
With the reins gently pulled, the horse's hooves clattered as it slowly made its way along Chang'an Avenue, a scene as beautiful as a painting.
What a dashing and spirited young scholar, in the prime of his life, with unparalleled talent and ambition!
His glory and charm captivated countless young girls!
They leaned against the railing, gazing into the distance, their beautiful eyes sparkling, their rosy cheeks radiant with spring.
Or she might pause by the street, her delicate face slightly flushed, her eyes brimming with longing.
Just to catch a glimpse of the extraordinary talent of the young top scholar!
……
In the royal palace, in the royal study.
Several high-ranking officials sat in the room in turn.
Chen Pingping sat in the first seat on the left, in a wheelchair due to health reasons.
Prime Minister Lin Ruofu is the first one on the right.
Emperor Qing casually picked a chair and sat down, calmly looking at everyone.
"What official position should I give Su Yu?"
"Let's all talk about it."
Chapter 118 A Dialogue Before the Emperor! A Game of Wits Between the Emperor and the Old Fox!
Emperor Qing was only wearing a moon-white casual robe today.
The golden ribbon with the coiled dragon was still tied around her waist.
Her hair was jet black and tied up loosely.
