Chapter 639 Completed

The official of the Hall of Rites used a cloud disk to pick up the yellow list placed on the yellow case. Under the guidance of the drum and royal stick, he left Fengtianmen and Meridian Gate, passed through Chengtianmen and crossed the square. The ministers, officials, and Xinke The Jinshi followed the yellow list and walked all the way out of Chang'an Gate, posting the yellow list on the palace wall.

The etiquette will only be completed after the three hundred new scholars have to watch the list.

A yellow list with the names and rankings of 300 Jinshi will be posted on the palace wall for three days. After three days, the yellow list will be sent to the cabinet, and the cabinet will forward it to the Imperial College, where the names of the Jinshi will be engraved on tablets, and then the yellow list will be recorded. It is kept in the Imperial College for future reference.

Then came the champion parade.

The No. 1 Scholar Parade refers to the process in which the emperor announced the roll call at the Jinluan Palace and named the No. 1 Scholar, No. 2 Scholar, No. 1 Scholar, and Jin Scholar. The No. 1 Scholar led the Scholars to thank the emperor for his favor, went to the left gate of Chang'an to watch the gold medals being posted, and then returned home.

The honor guard parading in the street was already waiting aside. After watching the ceremony, the top three, the top pick, and the top pick got on their horses together. The top pick walked in the front, and the second pick and top pick followed side by side. They beat gongs and drums and walked down the street with the honor guard.

After the passing ceremony is over, all the Jinshi return to their respective residences. The official documents announcing the good news from the Ministry of Rites will be sent to the place of residence of the Xinke Jinshi through official roads and inns. The local area will build an archway for the Xinke Jinshi to honor the hometown.

On April 19th, he was passed on, and on April 20th, the Ministry of Etiquette gave a banquet. The Jinshis cheered up and went all out... There will be a lot of things in these days. Later, there will be expressions of gratitude, visits to the ancestors' shrines, and visits to the Confucius Temple. Waiting for the appointment, etc., it was busy until the end of March.

When Zhu Zeqing returned to Ling Mansion after the parade, there was a group of people who came to congratulate him. Most of them were students from Nanzhou or the South, many of whom Zhu Zeqing didn't recognize.

These people all politely brought gifts, big and small, and spoke familiar words of congratulations when they came up, recalling the past and looking forward to the future, and building friendships.

Their goal is simple. Since Zhu Zeqing is the top scholar, he will enter the Hanlin Academy soon, which will be of great help to them in participating in the examinations and even becoming officials in the future.

The friendship between classmates is a relatively solid foundation among friends. If you don’t have a good relationship with Zhu Zeqing at this time, and you come to congratulate him after Zhu Zeqing is appointed, you will have to pay a visit. It also depends on whether Zhu Zeqing has the time and mood to see him.

Zhu Zeqing greeted him politely and did not show any superiority just because he became the number one scholar.

After exchanging a lot of polite words and chatting for a while about recent rumors in the city, everyone left one after another.

"The No. 1 Scholar is so beautiful." Ji Xuanmo and Shi Dongqing came over with smiles.

Zhu Zeqing held up his hand and said, "Senior brother Xuanmo."
