Chapter 348 Distribution
The next day, the hangover Jinshi got up with great perseverance... Although the celebration had ended, there were still some torture steps to go. The new Jinshi supported the heavy and fast-breaking heads, took the steps of combining heavy and empty space, went to Honglu Temple to study the basic rituals of becoming an official, and received the court uniforms, crowns, Jinshi treasure books given by the emperor... that is, uniforms and academic diplomas.
According to the etiquette I just learned, I received the emperor's kindness and reward. The people below were to express their gratitude. Of course, this was not a problem for them. The top scholar silently represented the new Jinshi to express their gratitude. It was nothing more than using gorgeous words to express the emperor's gratitude and then express their determination. That's all.
After thanking the emperor, I thanked the teacher again and went to the Confucius Temple to perform the dishes and rituals... I used rabbits as marinade, green onion as croaker, and jujube as fruits to thank the sages. In layman's terms, it was to "put down the order of food" for Confucius to express my gratitude.
This set of etiquette is extremely complicated, because in the Confucius Temple, there are not only Confucius, but also the four saints and twelve philosophers who are worthy of enjoyment, as well as the sixty-two philosophers in the east and west wings. Therefore, in addition to kneeling the throne of the "Sage Confucius", we also kneel down the throne of the "Sacred Yan Zi", "Zong Sheng Zeng Zi", "Shu Sheng Zi Si Zi", and "Sub-Saint Mencius" who was driven out by Lao Zhu and invited back. We also worship the throne of the throne of the 12 philosophers and the 62 philosophers who are worthy of Li Shizhen's sobering soup, silence would have been confused.
After worshiping the Confucius Temple, we finally reached the last step and erected the name of the Jinshi! That is, the Ministry of Works has a stone tablet, engraved the names of the undergraduates, and erected them in the stele forest of the Imperial College for future generations to admire. This is also an opportunity for most Jinshi to leave their names in history!
So although I was tired, everyone was full of energy and excitedly came to the Imperial College next to the Confucius Temple. At the end of the rows of named monuments, they found a piece of them.
The white marble stele and the base are ten feet tall. The head of the stele with a curly cloud pattern is engraved with six large characters in seal script, "Give the title of the Jinshi" inscribed. The front is divided into two parts. The upper part is the emperor's instructions, which declares the motivation and purpose of the imperial court to open a vocational school, accompanied by a series of praises. It was exactly what Yan Song read when he was preaching the list of 400 Jinshis of the undergraduate degree... The names and origins of each Jinshi are engraved neatly according to the rankings, densely packed, mostly myopic Jinshis, and they look at their names and almost stick their faces.
After being silent for a few people, Sun Ying suddenly laughed and said, "What is the one covered in yellow cloth here?"
"You have to ask the top scholar to open it with your own hands." Amid a loud laugh, Zhao Wenhua, the new crown prince, rank as the Minister of Works, appeared in front of everyone.
The Jinshi quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Master."
Zhao Wenhua laughed and said, "My friends are exempted from gifts. The auspicious time has come. Come and lay the foundation for your title stele." Everyone then threw the soil and buried the base of the title stele symbolically.
After everything was done, Zhao Wenhua said to the silent affectionately: "Zhuangyuan Gong, please unveil this monument with me."
Silence did not dare to say, "It is better to obey your orders than respect." So Zhao Wenhua and Zhao grabbed the corner of the yellow cloth with one hand, and pulled off the curtain together amid the noise of firecrackers, revealing their true face!
I saw a piece of stele with the same style as the inscription, but the material was a large stele with white marble. On it were two lines of thin gold regular script: "The country has been in 200 years, and the literary fortunes are strong. Don't say that there are no six poems. I have the top scholar!" The lower left is the 'The 35th year of Jiajing's imperial pen'!
The poem is a bit straightforward, but it is even more precious, because anyone can see that it was written by Emperor Jiajing himself and has not been polished by the Grand Secretary. The emperor personally wrote a poem for the top scholar and erected a monument, which is definitely an unprecedented classic in China in ancient and modern times. This honor can be said to be a "a thousand-year-old encounter"!
"The top scholar, this is a rare example of my dynasty!" Everyone was still immersed in shock, and Zhao Wenhua first congratulated him: "From now on, you will be a model for my scholars of the Ming Dynasty!"
The Jinshi came back to his senses and all came to congratulate him. Chen Si had heard Zhu Shisan say the "Auspiciousness" incident, so he was not flattered, but he still said with fear and fear: "Your Majesty is so kind, why should I dare to take it? Even if I grind my minister into powder and grind it into face, it is difficult to repay Your Majesty's kindness..." As he said, tears had already burst out from his eyes. He said that since he entered Beijing, his acting skills have increased greatly, and he has already leaped from an idol sect to a powerful idol sect.
Making a pretentious thing in front of the two monuments was a complete completion of the lengthy ceremony of the post-Jinshi. Then, three days later, I went to the Ministry of Personnel to take the imperial examination and gave the assignment.
Looking at the days when officials around them dispersed like a tide of officials around them, the Jinshi felt empty. They suddenly realized that the halo of the "new subject" on them had disappeared, and the rest were a group of ordinary Jinshi who had not been assigned yet... Which one of the Beijing officials was not from the two lists? What else could they be proud of? They clamped their tails one by one, and didn't celebrate. They were all ready to go back and have a good rest, take the imperial examination three days later, and strive to get a good score, so that they can get a higher ranking when they are assigned.
He said goodbye to you in the same year, and quietly entered the carriage and said, "Go back." When the carriage got up, he shook his sleeves and dropped an invitation from it. When he opened it, he saw that it read: "An old friend from Jiangnan swept his bed to drink, and he could wait for the top scholar to drive at any time.' The signature was 'Zhao Wenhua'.
This was what Zhao Wenhua handed him with his hands in front of everyone when he was separated. At the helplessness, Chen Si had to accept it with amusement, but he had already greeted the ancestors named Zhao in his stomach... Although he helped them in the southeast, he also handed over the account book to the emperor, so in the eyes of the adults in the court, his attitude was ambiguous, which was exactly the effect that Chen Si wanted... The maturity and experience beyond his age made him unintentionally join any party in the court fight, nor would he offend any party. Because he knew that his greatest advantage was that he was young. Even if he made rapid progress, he would not threaten the eighty-year-old Ge Lao Yan and the nearly sixty-year-old Mr. Xu. We are not people of the same era at all!
In his opinion, it is unlikely that the two cabinet masters would care about the "little baby" he could not count on for ten years. And to say a singular thing, who would know how far he would return in twenty years? He would not easily blame him for his descendants.
So he believed that everyone was fully qualified to respect the elderly and love the young, and to be at peace. He was dreaming of "watching the wind and clouds surging, and I was still moving." Zhao Wenhua, who was extremely annoying, gave him this invitation that was extremely annoying. It was really... extremely annoying!
He threw the invitation aside in a very unhappy manner, and silently pondered his future situation... He was the top scholar, and Zhu Dashou Tao Dalin, two three-legged armored scholars. According to the rules, no matter how the results of the court exam were, he would enter the Hanlin Academy and become a leisurely and luxurious editor of the sixth rank and seventh rank editor. According to Zhang Juzheng, this job was not only about history and editing books, but also about politics... Learn how the government offices in various departments and governments handle official documents, and even be sent to various places to "collect folks", that is, public travel, the purpose is to make nerds who are deaf of the window and prepare for politics.
Then after a certain Beijing inspection, you may be sent to the prefect or the prefect of Zhili Prefecture! Or you may serve as a township, an examiner, and a provincial education. In short, you will become a high-ranking official from the sixth and seventh ranks to a fourth-rank official, completing a gorgeous turn. This process is as short as three years or as long as ten years, and it depends on the age and ability of the officials themselves.
After one term is full, you may be promoted to governor of a province or from outside, and you may be promoted to the six ministers after opening the court. Therefore, the Hanlin Academy is extremely generous and the promotion is very fast. It is very likely that you can become the governor in ten years. Although it may not be as good as the minister, it is almost the same. Therefore, the Hanlin Academy is a good place that everyone yearns for.
Now that he has stepped on this fast lane, the golden future is right in front of him. There is no need to rush for promotion. Instead, he needs to do it to seek stability... In fact, this is also the first key to becoming an official, in order to prevent the faster you climb and the worse you fall.
So no one would want to get involved in the court's party struggles, so as not to ruin Jinzhu's future.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the new Jinshi went to the Ministry of Personnel to report to participate in the court examination chaired by Wu Peng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel... It is said that the Minister of Personnel should be presided over, but Li Mo was busy with external investigation and had no time to withdraw, so he had to hand it over to Wu Peng.
