Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl Chapter 2227: He wants to go home and open an academy
The second day is the day when new scholars will be awarded official titles.
The students once again stood in the Zichen Hall. Their demeanor was very different from the anxious one earlier. They looked more energetic and wanted to do something big.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne and was very satisfied with everyone's expressions. This was the first major imperial examination held since he ascended the throne, and it was of great significance to him.
However, when his eyes fell on Meng Yunzheng, his originally happy expression froze, and he felt slightly heartbroken.
Today's awarding of officials is mainly for the top three in the first class. Although other Jinshi have passed the palace examination, they still have to take the imperial examination. In the end, those who are good at calligraphy and literature will be selected as Shujishi, and the others will be awarded official positions such as principals. .
After all the Jinshi came forward to salute, except for the top three Jinshi, all the other Jinshi retreated to the side.
The emperor then glanced at the **** beside him and said, "Declare the decree."
The great **** opened the imperial edict and said in a loud voice, "By the Emperor's decree, the emperor has decreed that, the first and second scholars of the new branch, Chu Qiuping of Luozhou Prefecture, the first and third scholars of the new division, Jin Lin of the Shuntian Prefecture, outstanding literary talent...are now awarded. Editor and editor of Hanlin Academy, seventh grade... I hope that you two will do your best, serve the court, work diligently and love the people, I admire this."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Why did the imperial edict only mention the second place and third overall, but did not mention a word about Meng Yuncheng, who has been a hot topic these days?
Chu Qiuping and Jin Lin were equally suspicious, but they responded in time, took a few steps forward and then knelt down to thank him.
The emperor nodded and said, "Get up."
The two stood up and retreated again, and then the emperor looked at Meng Yunzheng.
However, neither of them spoke. In the huge Zichen Hall, the only sound left in silence was the breathing of the civil and military officials.
Taifu Qi couldn't help but came out of the queue, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Meng Zhuangyuan..."
The emperor raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, Master, I know what you are going to say. Meng Yunzheng's official position is also very difficult for me. Why don't you listen to what he means?"
Qi Chan could only put down his hand, frowning and looking at the people in the hall worriedly. What the emperor said last time made Qi Chan think that the emperor and Meng Yunzheng were old acquaintances who had a good relationship. However, now that the emperor has awarded officials to the other two people, he is the only one missing. What does it mean?
Meng Yunzheng had already taken a step forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty loves me so much. I have failed to express my gratitude to you. Please forgive me."
Qi Chan was puzzled, and the others were even more confused. What was going on?
"Meng Zhuangyuan, what do you mean?" Qi Chan asked in a low voice.
Meng Yunzheng raised his head, "I plan to go back to my hometown~IndoMTL.com~ to build an academy and serve as the academy's headmaster. From then on, I will teach and educate people, away from the court."
"What?!"
Qi Chan turned his head to look at him in shock.
There was an uproar in the main hall. Except for people like Emperor Xiang Weinan who knew his own plan, everyone looked at him in shock.
"Yunzheng, are you crazy?" Yao Tianqin whispered in disbelief.
Not to mention the officials who were already paying close attention to Meng Yuncheng, even some first- and second-grade ministers who had not taken him seriously at first and had long since practiced to the point where they were not surprised when things happened could not help but turn their heads in surprise.
No one can understand Meng Yunzheng's thoughts and actions. He is a top scholar with a sixth grade. He studied hard for many years and finally achieved fame. Now he wants to go back and become a teacher?
Shilang Yao is right, this man is really crazy about gain and loss.
