“He believed that his actions were flawless,” Su Bin remarked with a darkening expression.

Third Prince and the Emperor?”

Su Bin nodded resolutely. “We must inform them.”

“However, the Crown Prince’s advisors are undoubtedly formidable. They will likely have strategies in place.”

“In the end, it will hinge on the Emperor’s stance.”

Su Bin felt a wave of frustration wash over him when he contemplated the uncertain outcome.

“Therefore, even if I secure a spot on the Golden List this time, it’s far from guaranteed that my ranking will be at the top.”

“I shouldn’t aspire to be the Primus.”

Qin Zhenzhen smiled warmly and offered her support. “I truly believe you will rank at the top. You might even claim the title of Primus.”

The procedure for releasing rankings in the capital examination differed from that of county and local examinations.

Before the red list was unveiled, there was a unique segment involving singing. The names of every candidate on the rankings were melodiously sung aloud, allowing everyone in the capital to hear them.

This tradition served the dual purpose of informing the examinees who had remained in the capital about their rankings immediately and making the results widely known.

This year, a total of 150 scholars were selected in the capital examination, including thirty fellow scholars.

Candidates who achieved the same scholarship were ineligible to participate in future capital examinations. Instead, they were given the opportunity to secure official positions, often serving as county magistrates in remote regions.

The lowest official position at this level was the seventh-grade sesame official, a term frequently mentioned in operas. Some individuals would opt to remain in the capital and start from this modest seventh-grade position.

However, those with connections and influential backers could ascend the ranks swiftly, even from a seventh-grade position.

The singing chart commenced from the lowest position, and from early morning, all the examinees strained to catch the sounds emanating from the palace, fearful of missing their moment to hear their own names.

The resonance of gongs and drums finally echoed through the streets of the capital, accompanied by the vigorous cries of strong men.

“Huang Yulin, hailing from Huang Family Village in Cannabis Town, Tongling County, ranked 150th. Gifted with the background of a scholar!”

Huang Yulin’s heart leaped with surprise and joy upon hearing his name. However, a tinge of regret shadowed his expression. He was pleased to have finally secured a place on the rankings, validating his ten years of diligent effort.

Yet, he couldn’t help but wonder how he had ended up in the last position. His self-confidence following the exam had been relatively high. Unfortunately, this marked the conclusion of his career journey.

If he were to be dispatched to a remote region and become a seventh-grade sesame official, ascending the ranks would be an arduous endeavor..
