Lin Haoran was also shocked, and saw that a father-in-law led the little eunuch to the door, and hurriedly led everyone out of the hall to welcome the holy decree.

When the eunuch saw Lin Haoran's clothes, he naturally knew his identity, and unfolded the holy decree and read it aloud: "The two hundred years of the national dynasty, the literary fortune has been prosperous, but there is a defect in the end, but now there is no regret, and a golden plaque is specially given to show the name of the text." ”

Dozens of people knelt here, and they were also very envious when they heard that they were going to give a gold plaque. This kind of treatment is not available to every champion, and the previous champions can't even see the saint.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Lin Haoran kowtowed in a proper manner, and then stepped forward to accept the order.

The chief eunuch asked the chief eunuch to carry the plaque over, and said to Lin Haoran with a smile: "Champion Gong, please uncover the plaque!" ”

In everyone's curious eyes, Lin Haoran walked over.

Looking at the plaque covered by the red cloth, his heart was also a little curious, and he opened the red cloth, but saw that the plaque had four big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing: "Da Ming Wenkui!" ”

Seeing these four words, the eyes of the people around him widened, as if they didn't believe their eyes.

What is "Wenkui" refers to the god who dominates the rise and fall of the article and the Wenchang Xingjun, who is recognized as the most learned god in the world. Now that such a title is given, it is equivalent to agreeing that Lin Haoran is the most talented person in the Ming Dynasty.

With this plaque, Lin Haoran's status is slightly higher than that of the ordinary champion. At least nominally, Lin Haoran's title of "Wenkui" was recognized by Emperor Jiajing.

When they were sure that they were not mistaken, everyone looked at Lin Haoran with envy, and also looked eagerly at the imperial plaque.

The chief eunuch walked up to Lin Haoran and smiled gently: "Wen Kuijun, the Holy Lord has issued an order to order the Guangdong political envoy to set up a Wenkui archway for you in your hometown." ”

When everyone heard this, they gasped again.

This champion archway has heard a lot, but now it is the arch of Liwenkui, which is really unheard of. But with the butt to think about it, the status of this Wenkui archway must be above the champion archway, the real glory of the ancestors.

Even the village where Lin Haoran is located is probably not a champion village, but Wenkui Village.

When Lin Haoran learned of this good thing, he was also extremely excited, and immediately thanked him again, and then said to the eunuch: "Please also invite your father-in-law to drink a glass of water and wine." ”

"No, the miscellaneous family has to rush back to the palace to resume their lives!" The father-in-law shook his head and excused himself.

Lin Haoran quietly handed over the silver taels and personally sent the father-in-law away.

Although Emperor Jiajing is now diligent in government and extremely trusts Jinyi Wei Zuodu Governor Lu Shan, so the status of the eunuch now seems to be extremely low, but there is no meaning to underestimate it.

Although these eunuchs can't get the right to approve red, they are close ministers of the emperor's side after all, even if you make a small report, you may lose your skin. Especially Jiajing is suspicious by nature, although they can't add icing on the cake, they can fall into the ground.

It was precisely because of this that he made up his mind to have a good relationship with the eunuch, and even tried to help his younger brother Feng Bao seek power. In this way, he also reacted, and he seemed to have picked up a powerful younger brother.

"Champion Lang, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine!"

"Are you blind and didn't look at the plaque? Lin Wenkui, I respect you! ”

"Everyone is on the gold list today, come, drink this cup together!"

Although there was no alcohol, everyone was drinking tea and the atmosphere was very happy.

This time, a total of 11 new members of the clan were born. Lin Haoran needless to mention, except for Yang Futian and Zhang Wei, who were lucky enough to get the second-class jinshi, the other eight people are all third-class jinshi.

In fact, the second-class jinshi has the opportunity to pass the museum selection and practice for three years in the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi. It's just that next year it will be a regular department, so the number of places in Shu Jishi will be greatly reduced, and Yang Futian and Zhang Wei will be ranked lower, so they will definitely not get Shu Jishi.

However, the advantage of the second class is that almost all of them will become Beijing officials, and they will be directly arranged by the officials to serve in the capital, and there will be many opportunities for promotion in the future. Like the current secretary Wu Peng was born in the second class jinshi, he directly entered the Ministry of Industry to be the principal, and then climbed step by step to the position of the secretary of the ministry.

It's just that the second-class can't enter the Hanlin Academy, and the difference between the second-class and the third-class jinshi is not big. If there are resources or opportunities in the family, it is very easy for the top three to counterattack the second class jinshi.

In the evening, it was just getting dark.

The eleven new science and technology scholars of the Chaozhou Association got into a carriage and went to the Rite Department in Dongjiang Rice Lane to go to Qionglin for a banquet.

Lin Haoran still rode in the same carriage with Ning Jiang and Yang Futian, Ning Jiang seemed a little depressed, sitting in the corner alone, silent, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

But it's no wonder that he is arrogant, and he just lost to Lin Haoran, but he is not as good as Yang Futian, who has always been despised by him, and now he himself has fallen to the top three.

Because I am very familiar with the rules of the game in officialdom, I know very well that there is a huge gap between the second and third grades.

Once he is released, it will be difficult for him to return to Beijing without a big opportunity and a tough background. There are many third-class jinshi who have been transferred abroad, and they are just prefects all their lives.

"Did you hear that? Wu Peng, the current secretary of the ministry, is a master who only recognizes money! Yang Futian broke the silence and said a freshly baked little gossip to the two.

"Who doesn't know this!" Ning Jiang immediately rolled his eyes.

Since the fall of Li Mo, the Yan Party was afraid of the emergence of a second hard-line official Shangshu, so he pushed the obedient Wu Peng up. Wu Peng was originally just a left waiter in the Ministry of Works, and his status was still under Yan Shifan, but he was pushed to the high position of the secretary of the Ministry by the Yan Party, which was really pie in the sky.

It's just that Wu Peng is a master of "knowing kindness", and after taking office, he obeyed Yan Shifan's words. Yan Shifan took advantage of this to accept bribes, so now if he wants to get a good position, the silver two have become extremely important.

"What about you...... Isn't it time to give it a little bit? Yang Futian winked at him, and immediately proposed.

Ning Jiang seemed to have been stepped on by his tail, and glared at him angrily: "I won't do this kind of thing!" ”

Lin Haoran looked at Ning Jiang, and when he met his eyes, he found that he was a little weakly dodging, but decided to pierce this layer of paper, and asked him directly: "It's still hidden at this time, does it really matter if you have anything to do with your family?" ”

After these days of contact, he would never believe that Ning Jiang's background was ordinary. This person's vision is much higher than that of ordinary people, and he is especially familiar with officialdom.

Although there were no big officials surnamed Ning in Chaozhou, he concluded that Ningjiang must have some origins.

Ning Jiang met his gaze, and finally said dejectedly: "If there is no accident, I will ...... It may go to the military department! ”
