The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 379 Ziwei Roll Call
The setting sun was as red as blood. The candidates had already lined up in two rows in front of the Ziwei Hall as instructed, with a green cloud-patterned dragon corridor separating them.

Everyone was waiting to hear the final roll call of the palace examination.

Unconsciously, Liu Sheng was surrounded by everyone and stood at the front.

Yesterday I was at the end and no one recognized me, but today it seems like everyone recognizes me.

My ears were filled with all kinds of praise and admiration, and I felt a little dizzy for a moment.

But when he looked at the face of the god that was already pressing on the eaves of the Ziwei Palace, Liu Sheng suppressed all his thoughts.

My battle is not over yet.

A huge eye, from above the carved roof that looked like a spine with flesh and blood, was glowing red in the setting sun, overlooking the candidates, indifferent and calm.

Someone accidentally looked up and immediately felt uneasy. He couldn't help but blame himself for looking directly at the great existence. He almost wanted to kneel down and dedicate his body and mind to the Supreme God.

Liu Sheng also raised her eyes. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the pair of pupils seemed to be locked on her, with a hint of sarcasm in the eyes.

……

Inside the Ziwei Palace, Emperor Li Zhou sat on the dragon throne, with the Empress sitting on his right. Today, even the Empress Dowager came and sat on the honorable seat on the left.

At the bottom of the steps, all the officials stood in line. Prime Minister Wen was not there. Han Shanjun stood at the front, followed by Minister Ling. In the other line, Mei Yuanzheng was at the head, followed by Minister Li.

Although Minister Li was unhappy, he knew that the time had not yet come and he still had to respect the elders first.

But more importantly, what happened to Wen Xuanning?
You know, he has done so much recently just for today.

Wenxuan Ning is the key.

As a result, no one knows where the people have gone. Isn’t this plan over?
Then who can he go to for justice?

So he secretly glanced at Minister Ling.

Minister Ling looked at his nose, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth at his heart, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

As if sensing Minister Li's gaze, he shook his head imperceptibly.

Don't know what it means either.

Are you saying it's okay?

Is there still no hope?

While he was worried, he unexpectedly saw the eldest princess and Prime Minister Wen appear in the palace one after another.

Although his face didn't look very good, Minister Li was finally able to feel at ease.

They are fine, Wen Xuanning should be back too.

The plan remains the same.

Indeed, Wen Xuanning was now dressed in ragged black clothes, standing quietly at the end of the team.

Seeing a sea of ​​black heads at the back, he couldn't see the person he hated at all.

Suddenly realizing that she should stand at the front, Wen Xuanning's face suddenly became as gloomy as water.

He raised his head to take a look at the face of the Supreme God pressing on the roof, and tried hard to suppress the anger that was surging in his heart once again.

He still knows what is most important now.

"If you really knew, you wouldn't do such a thing." The old voice that always nagged in his ears sounded again.

"You old man, are you done yet? Am I fine? I knew I would be fine."

Wen Xuanning squeezed out the words from between his teeth and spoke in a low and vicious voice.

"As long as His Majesty still needs us, he needs me. Even if I go out on the street with the holy sword and kill people, nothing will happen to me."

"Do I need to remind you that the Holy Sword has been taken away by the Emperor?" the voice said coldly.

"When I become the top scholar and complete that task... the holy sword will return."

"Besides, who dares to say anything bad about me again?"

At this time, Wen Xuanning was feeling quite proud.

So what if I didn’t get first place in the martial arts test?
Essay test...

He must be in first place, and Liu Sheng...

He smiled softly, waiting for the final roll call.

……

The bell rang slowly.

The auspicious time has arrived and the palace doors are wide open.

The emperor opened the golden scroll in front of him, and a golden light shone, penetrating the Ziwei Palace and falling outside.

Then, all the candidates saw that above the long white marble steps, a huge golden light curtain slowly unfolded like a scroll.

There was not a single word on it yet, and auspicious clouds were floating above it, waiting for the first name to fall on it.

At the same time, the first name on the scroll in front of the emperor lit up with golden light.

The emperor glanced at the ministers below the steps, especially at Prime Minister Wen, Mei Yuanzheng and several others standing at the front, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, saying:

"The first place in the first class of the imperial examination in the ninth year of Jinghe..."

... "In the ninth year of Jinghe, the first place in the imperial examination was awarded..."

The emperor's voice, with the effect of the musical note spell, was solemnly and loudly heard outside the Ziwei Palace.

All the candidates were worried, especially those who ranked high in the martial arts test.

Yu Huan, Qu Chunyan, Lin Shuying, Lu Shen, Xie Yan, Chu Shudu...

Of course there is also Liu Sheng.

They all held their breath and waited.

And Wen Xuanning smiled slightly.

According to his arrangement, as well as, the historical verification of what the voice said.

In the end it will just be him.

So he waited with great satisfaction for his name to be called out.

"The first place in the first class of the imperial examination in the ninth year of Jinghe..."

The Emperor continued:

"First place in the written test."

Wen Xuanning's smile did not fade, and he was even more certain in his heart that it was undoubtedly him.

Finally, am I going to fulfill my long-cherished wish that I never realized?
Then: "First place in the martial arts test."

Wen Xuanning's smile froze, something seemed wrong...

"Little Green Garden Liu Sheng."

Finally, a name was read out, echoing over the square and resounding throughout the palace.

Wen Xuanning couldn't help but yell.

"How could it be her?"

"How could it be her?"

There was an inaudible sigh in my ears, and then silence.

Because it was too loud, the people in front turned their heads and looked at this person angrily.

I saw that he was disheveled and his clothes were blackened, and I didn't know who he was.

So he shushed him and said disdainfully, "I don't know where this random person came from. He is so ignorant of the rules that he dares to make a noise when His Majesty calls out his name."

Others said: "You don't even know your own worth, yet you dream of becoming the number one scholar?"

"Liu Zhuangyuan is a real talent, both a scholar and a warrior. How can we doubt him?"

Wen Xuanning almost vomited blood when he heard this.

My hands and feet were numb and I was almost having a stroke from anger.

……

"Little Green Garden Liu Sheng."

Liu Sheng stood there calmly, and then heard his own name. For a moment, his ears suddenly buzzed, as if he could not hear anything.

The noisy voices in my head seemed to quiet down, leaving only a blank.

Although we can't hear, our eyes can see.

As the voice came down, a line of words appeared at the front of the list.

[No. 1 Scholar: Liu Sheng, Little Green Garden]

Her results for the civil and military examinations were also displayed below, both of which read "First Class".

Auspicious clouds are floating, the moon palace is floating above the two words "Liu Sheng", and osmanthus flowers are falling.

Finally, I won the first prize.

All eyes around fell on Liu Sheng's back which seemed out of reach.

Envy, jealousy, worship, resentment...

Then there was a loud bang. After the shock, Liu Sheng regained consciousness and seemed to be able to hear again.

A quiet cheer rose in my mind, but the situation was sensitive at the moment, so I didn't dare to make too much noise. However, I still couldn't suppress my joy.

Various discussions could be heard in my ears.

"Liu Zhuangyuan, Liu Huiyuan, isn't that Liu Shuangyuan?"

"No, I heard he was the first in the provincial examination."

"Isn't this Liu Sanyuan?"

Following these voices, Liu Sheng climbed the stairs, took out the examination certificate and showed it to the official of the Ministry of Rites for confirmation, and then followed the official of the Honglu Temple to sing:
"Please invite the number one scholar Liu Sheng to come to the palace."

As the sounds echoed, Liu Sheng stepped into the Ziwei Palace step by step.

I've been a bit busy recently... so I may not have time to reply to comments_(:з」∠)_
