The feeling of returning to the academy is undoubtedly the most pleasant, which is somewhat similar to the feeling of returning home.

There are still a lot of students left in Xiyuan, but basically all of them have not been admitted, and many of those who passed the Jinshi examination have already gone home.

The Great Zhou court is still very humane to the Jinshi, and there are still three months before Dabi ends the selection of the Jishi Pavilion, during which the Jinshi are disguised as a holiday, and they can ask for leave to return home.

Of course, this is mainly for the top three people, and the top two jinshi have to look at themselves.

After all, the second-class jinshi are still facing an exam in the East Pavilion.

Although everyone knows that this exam is not decisive, and it is not even more important than the ranking of the second-class jinshi, if you play particularly well in the East Pavilion exam, you can still add a lot of opportunities for your hall selection, so for such an opportunity, most of the second-class jinshi will go all out to stay and fight hard.

For Qingtan Academy, the performance of this branch can be described as a complete victory, and the eighteen jinshi have overwhelmed Chongzheng Academy and Tonghui Academy, as well as the White Horse Academy and Chongwen Academy in Jiangnan.

Chongzheng Academy's performance this year is actually not bad, in addition to Yang Wenqiao getting Tanhua, they also passed the 12 Jinshi, and four of these 12 Jinshi are second-class Jinshi.

In contrast, for example, Chongwen Academy and White Horse Academy, which only scored 16 and 14 jinshi respectively in this year's examination, still seem to be higher than Chongzheng Academy, but they are much larger in scale than Chongzheng Academy, and the number of references is also larger.

This is the first time in so many years that the Northern Academy and the Southern Academy have achieved a relatively even momentum, and of course, in fact, the Southern Academy still steadily overtakes the northern one.

"Well, Zixun, Xianzheng, Xiaoke, Xiaowei, Mengzhang, Kexuan, and Ziying, you and a few other top three classmates in Jinke can be regarded as winning glory for our Qingtan Academy,......"

Guan Yingzhen was very happy, looking at the talents in Qingtan Academy in front of him, he was also extremely proud in his heart.

In fact, there are two other ones, one is already the champion of the practice of state affairs, he does not need to participate in the selection of the Shujishi Pavilion anymore, he directly awarded the Hanlin Academy to revise, becoming the first person to be awarded the official of the current department.

There is also a Han Jing, Han Jing did not play well in the second-class jinshi, ranked sixteenth, and even ranked behind Feng Ziying, and because of his teacher Tang Binyin, he took the initiative to leave Qingtan Academy after passing the second-class jinshi examination and followed his teacher Tang Binyin.

Although Han Jing has been studying in Qingtan Academy, he seems to have always seemed to be outside Qingtan Academy.

He also came to study because of the relationship between his teacher Tang Binyin and Guan Yingzhen in the same year, but in fact, like most of the activities of Qingtan Academy in the past two years, Han Jing did not participate much.

This also made many students in the college very dissatisfied with it.

He himself knew about this situation, so after passing the second-class jinshi examination, he only went back to the academy once, said goodbye to the mountain chief, the head of the academy, and a few close classmates and teachings, and left.

So after Han Jing left, the academy also calmly accepted this reality.

However, Guan Yingzhen didn't take this matter to heart, because Han Jing himself had always maintained close contact with Tang Binyin, and was more like a nominal disciple of Tang Binyin who had placed him here.

The Tao is not the same, as the same year he took care of it for two years, and it can be regarded as a dedication.

Xu Zheng took the lead in bowing, which was regarded as a thank you to the teacher in the past few years, and the rest of the disciples also knelt down.

Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun both accepted this gift very calmly, and they deserved it.

As the two main persons in charge of the college, almost everything must be arranged and deployed by them, and the situation of the students in the college is different, and they also need to be guided and counseled in different categories to help them improve in a targeted manner.

For example, Song Tongyin studied in Qingtan Academy at the age of sixteen, and the first reading was nine years, and the first subject did not even pass the autumn sting, and the second subject was the upper department.

The communication with the head of the mountain is very easy, and now these are all quasi-officials of the Great Zhou, and they will be awarded officials at the end of the period of one to two years.

These are all second-class Jinshi, starting from the seventh grade, and will be promoted within three or five years, and they will generally be promoted to the sixth grade or even from the position of the fifth grade, which means that they will be promoted to the third grade or above, which is the prestige of the Jinshi, and it is also something that other election officials will never have.

"Zixun doesn't need to say it, it is estimated that Shu Jishi will not be able to run away for the teacher, and it stands to reason that Ziying's second class is ninth, and it should be no problem, but Ziying is a little special, it's really hard to say." Guan Yingzhen is also an old man who has been up and down in officialdom for many years, and he is very familiar with this situation.

"One is that the age is too young, although the requirements of the Ji Ji Shi are young talents under the age of thirty-five, but Ziying's age is really too exaggerated, as far as I know, there are so many departments in Da Zhou, and there are basically no Shu Ji Shi under the age of eighteen, well, maybe there will be two more in this department, one is Hou Sui, and the other is Ziying,......"

Guan Yingzhen's words made several classmates laugh, both a little envious and a little kind of teasing, "What the official teacher said is that Ziying's age makes us senior brothers ashamed." ”

In the examination, even if the Jinshi graduated from Qingtan Academy, he broke away from the subordinate relationship with Qingtan Academy, and the title of Guan Yingzhen was changed from Shanchang to Guanshi.

"Senior brothers, didn't the official just now say that being too young is also a disadvantage?" Feng Ziying was very calm.

"It may seem like a disadvantage now, but the further back you go, the more you can get an advantage at this age."

Song Tongyin is also from Shandong, and Feng Ziying is a fellow countryman, but he is ten years older than Feng Ziying, but he is already considered old in the second-class jinshi.

"Xianzheng said that the further you go, the more obvious this age advantage will be." Guan Yingzhen continued, "But there is indeed some trouble now, especially some people in the Pavilion Elder and the Shangguan of the Six Departments may use this as an excuse to deliberately provoke thorns." The second is that everyone may know that Ziying's articles have some controversy from the meeting test to the palace test, and it is estimated that in the hall selection, no matter what Ziying's East Pavilion exam is, there will be people who want to make a fuss about it. ”

This is not a secret, Feng Ziying's lack of rhetoric and meaning is in stark contrast to the superiority of his views on current policy theory, so it will lead to controversy in both the meeting examination and the palace examination, which will inevitably continue to the selection of the pavilion of the Jishi.

It stands to reason that the top ten of the second class are basically the natural candidates of the second class, and few of the top ten of the second class have not been able to enter the top ten of the second class, and the competition is generally produced in these jinshi after the top ten of the second class, which is also a common practice.

But since it is a convention, there are exceptions, there are always so many subjects in which the top ten Jinshi will fail to be selected, but they are basically their own problems, such as being nearly thirty-five years old, or having poor conduct and reactions from the outside world, but people like Feng Ziying who may fail because of their young age and the controversy caused by the article are really the first.

Of course, it can only be said that it is possible now, but since it was Guan Yingzhen who said it, it means that it is indeed not a small possibility.

Among the second-class jinshi, Xu Zheng can basically finalize no problem, while Song Tongyin and Luo Shangzhong are ranked high and can fight, but there is not much hope.

After all, there are only sixteen places in the upper branch of Jishi, and it is estimated that there will not be much gap in today's department, so only the top 30 jinshi in the second class are competitive, and Song Tongyin and Luo Shangzhong are both outside the 30, Song Tongyin is thirty-eight, and Luo Shangzhong is fifty-five.

As for the fact that the others are outside the hundred, the possibility is even more remote.

Only Guan Yingzhen and Feng Ziying were left in the room.

"Ziying, you must be careful in this matter, I know that Brother Chengfeng and Brother Ru Jun may have some considerations and arrangements, but as far as I know, I am afraid that there are many people who do not want to be selected as a Shujishi." Guan Yingzhen's words made Feng Ziying also tremble.

Although Guan Yingzhen and Qi Yongtai have similar concepts, firstly, the two of them are not the same subject and the same year, and secondly, Guan Yingzhen is from Huguang, and Huguang officials also have their own faction in the court, although the so-called Jiangnan scholars are all southern scholars, but they are still slightly different.

And Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia are both representatives of northern officials, one is from Beizhili and the other is from Shanxi.

Therefore, the news that Guan Yingzhen can get must have come from another channel.

"The official teacher will teach me." Feng Ziying knew that Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia must be working hard for themselves, but as Guan Yingzhen said, Shu Jishi may not be much different from the second class Jinshi in the eyes of the outside world, but only people within the imperial court understand the meaning of Shu Jishi, and many people may not be willing to see themselves become Shu Jishi.

Without the qualifications of the Hanlin Academy, you will be met with resistance from all sides if you want to enter the cabinet.

Guan Yingzhen groaned, stood up and walked around, "In the Six Ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Administration Department and the Dali Temple, the teacher can still do a thing or two for you, but among the three people in the cabinet, Shen and Fang are probably not impressed with you, and they will definitely speak out against it, only Ye Jinqing may be able to make a turn." ”

Ye Jinqing is Ye Xianggao, and his word is Jinqing.

If the three cabinet elders are all opposed, then Feng Ziying will not be able to be selected as a scholar even if he has the support of the other six ministers, so Guan Yingzhen said that he must say that a cabinet elder has a supportive attitude towards his selection.

"I'm afraid that Brother Chengfeng will have to come forward to see Ye Xianggao in person." Guan Yingzhen hesitated for a moment, "But Brother Chengfeng's temperament, Ziying, you also know, he will definitely support you, but it will be difficult for him to bow to anyone." ”
