The next day was the day for new Advanced Scholars to receive their official positions.
The scholars stood once again in Zicheng Hall, vastly different from their previous anxious demeanor, now filled with ambition and readiness to achieve great things.
The Emperor sat on the Dragon Chair, pleased to see the expressions on their faces. This was his first major imperial examination since ascending the throne, and it was of great significance to him.
However, when his gaze fell upon Meng Yunzheng, his initially joyful expression stiffened, feeling a slight pang in his heart.
Today's appointments were mainly for the top three names of the First Class, while the other Advanced Scholars, though having passed the palace examination, still had to participate in the court examination. Ultimately, those proficient in calligraphy and literature would be chosen as scholars, while others would be appointed to positions like masters of ceremonies.
