The results of the palace examination were spread throughout the capital in a very short time. The pen is interesting and the pavilion www.biquge.info the court and the opposition are eye-catching inside and outside. The palace examination is a major national event. This is the proper treatment of scholars.

In addition, the news that Zhao Xingchen, the son of the Marquis of Ruyang, was imprisoned, and Fang Wang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Jia Huan, the current science detective, were not guilty. What is funny is that Zhao Xingchen was still shouting when he was taken away in front of the left gate of Chang'an: Jia Huan cheated.

It doesn't matter to people, etc., and after laughing, forget it. And those who know the inside story know that this matter may not be over.

Fang Wang and Jia Huan are fine, which means that some people will have something. Zhao Xingchen's interrogation was just an introduction. Things are still fermenting. It's just that the focus and attention of public opinion now are on the new science and technology scholars.

There was a joyful atmosphere in the capital. You must know that the imperial examination is not over after the palace examination. There is also a series of various ceremonies held by the imperial court. Dengke and the first are not only the personal happy events of the Jinshi, but also the happy events of the imperial court.

As the saying goes: the feast of deer singing, the grand ceremony of Binxing. The feast of Qionglin makes the special grace of creation. I have a feast of grace and honor, which is special. The congratulatory speech said: Tiankai Wenyun, virtuous and handsome, and the courtesy should be congratulated, and the courtesy is very comparable.

On March 26, the day after the results of the palace examination came out, the new Jinshi of the 13th year of Yongzhi went to Guozijian to receive Jinshi clothes.

Jinshi scarves are different from students' scarves. Jinshi scarf, now the top of the black gauze hat is slightly flat, the angle is more than an inch wide, five inches long, tied with a vertical belt, soap yarn for it.

Jinshi uniform, dark blue robe. The edge is Qingluo, and the sleeves are wide but not killed. Leather with a green strap, decorated with black horns, and a tail hanging from the back.

In his hand is: Huai Mu Wat

On the 27th, the new scholars wore Jinshi scarf uniforms and marched into the Fengtian Temple to worship and meet the Son of Heaven. When the temple examination was carried out, all the candidates worshiped the Son of Heaven outside the hall to take the exam, and now, they entered the hall.

After the ceremony, the official of the Ministry of Rites held the gold list in front, followed by the new science and technology jinshi, and the drum music followed. Along the royal street out of the left gate of Chang'an, post the gold list for the people to watch. Then send the champion to ride back to the first place with the umbrella cover of Shuntianfu. It is called: parade of officials.

The story of throwing hydrangeas to champions happens at this step. Millions of people in the capital watched, sought after, and applauded along the streets. There are also eunuchs and wealthy families who have set up positions on the second floor of the street, waiting for the champions and the team of new science and technology scholars to pass by. The people, relatives, and girls of Jiafu also watched the Jinshi procession parade through the streets from the restaurant on East Chang'an Street. Jia Huan ranked third in the name of Tanhua. At his age, walking in the team, he is quite eye-catching and outstanding.

On this day, the treatment of the new science and technology scholars is comparable to that of the emperor's superstar.

On the 28th, the Son of Heaven gave a banquet to the Ministry of Rites, which was the Grace Banquet. It is also called the Qionglin Banquet. In the following days, the new scholars learned etiquette at Honglu Temple, and on the third day of the fourth month, 300 jinshi attended the court meeting in front of the Fengtian Gate and thanked them.

The next day, the new science and technology scholars collectively went to the Confucius Temple in Guozijian, and then officially changed into official uniforms, indicating that they had left their civilian status and became officials.

According to the usual practice, the Ministry of Rites asked the Ministry of Labor to erect a Jinshi monument in Guozijian, and all new science and technology Jinshi will be named here. In the Tang Dynasty, Jinshi and the first were to be inscribed in the Wild Goose Pagoda. In the subsequent dynasties, they all set up a monument in the country to leave their names.

After this series of glorious and festive ceremonies, almost every Jinshi has the feeling of "I don't know what night it is" in his heart, and the blood of serving the country is boiling: he surrenders to the Lord, and dies for the country.

At this time, it is the end of the entire imperial examination. On this path full of thorns, glory, and ideals, they have finally come to an end. All the things of the past, the glory that comes from reading, are all in the past. Then it's time for a new life.

…

…

On the morning of April 5th, the cicadas chirp in early summer, the scorching sun shone on the treetops, and the courtyard was full of greenery.

Jia Huan looked at the six-grade official uniform spread out on the desk in the room, and felt indescribable emotion in his heart. Since the eighth year of Yongzhi, the county test, the government test, the hospital test, the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test have been fought all the way and finally ended.

Reading changes fate. There are thousands of bells in the book. The book has its own golden house. There is no need to hate a wife without a matchmaker, there is a woman in the book who is like jade. The boy wanted to fulfill his life's ambition and read the Six Classics to the window diligently. If there was no imperial examination, how could he have soared from a penniless and low-status concubine to a clear stream of scholars in just a few years?

But if you want to say that you want to do eight strands, how can he possibly like it? From now on, when it comes to writing the eight-strand essay he wants to vomit, he doesn't have to bother anymore. That's it.

However, when the shackles that have been in my heart for a long time are broken, the scenes on the scientific field and the scenes of studying hard float in front of me.

At this time, when the shackles of this imperial examination were broken, after the examination education was cleared, his mood was a little complicated: relieved and relaxed, he was a little stunned.

It's a bit pretentious. Approximately, this is the psychology revealed in "The Siege"!

Jia Huan shook his head with a smile and retracted his thoughts.

Qingwen, Ruyi, and Caixia The three big girls gathered around the long case and looked at the green robe official uniforms, all of them looking happy.

Seeing Jia Huan shaking her head, Qingwen looked at Jia Huan with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Third master, why don't you dress it for us again, do I see the changed fit?" "The third master put on the official uniform, that bearing, tsk...

The needlework in Jia Huan's house is all handled by Qingwen. That's her forte.

Ruyi pursed his lips and smiled, as delicate as promised. Her eyes were aimed at Jia Huan, and she did not hide her expectation at all.

Caixia also followed the "coaxing" and said with a smile: "Third master, the way you look in an official uniform is very different!" She has been here for a long time, and she has slowly let go. She's just honest, not like to be silent.

Can Jia Huan understand the thoughts of the three big girls? said funny: "I'm not a model, I wear official clothes to show you." The days are still long. "In other words, Gentle Township is a hero's mound. Holding the three little beauties in my house like this, it's really... It's cool.

The four of them were talking and laughing, and the little maid outside came in and replied: "Third master, a word came in from outside, saying that Gongsun Gongzi and Luo Gongzi are here." ”

"Yes." Jia Huan answered, and followed the little maid to the front yard of Mochizuki House to meet the senior brother and Luo Junzi.

In the morning, the sun was slightly dry and the weather was hot and dry. The small hall was decorated with ice cubes, and the air was cool. Senior brother Gongsun Liang, dressed in a white robe, saw Jia Huan come in, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Jia, you are still comfortable here." ”

After saying hello to Senior Brother and Luo Junzi, Jia Huan smiled, "When you and Luo Junzi buy a house in the capital, I will provide you with ice cubes in summer." The storage is as comfortable as it is now. "He runs an ice cream business, and making ice is easy.

Isn't making money a way to make your life more comfortable? He had already suggested that Senior Brother and Luo Junzi buy a house in the capital. In order to facilitate future travel in Beijing. It is not a matter to stay in a hotel (inn) for a long time.

Gongsun Liang smiled freely. With his relationship with Jia Huan, what is a few ice cubes worth? With a slight sigh, he said, "I'm afraid I won't need it." Luo Junzi and I are about to return to Wendao Academy. ”

Luo Xiangyang, who had always been a little depressed, added: "So, we are here to bid farewell to Ziyu." This afternoon we will return to the College. ”

Jia Huan was stunned, and the hand holding the teacup was in the air.

After the end of the palace examination, the next step is a three-month period of observation of politics (internship), which is used by the jinshi to adjust their mentality. Suddenly from ordinary people to officials, many people have not yet adapted to such a change.

After the end of the political observation period, it is time to elect officials. The procedure of the imperial court is like this, but it is often to observe the government at a certain yamen, which is actually a decision to go to a certain yamen, which is the unspoken rule of officialdom. So, to operate, it's time to start "running forward".

There is no doubt about the importance of electing officials. For a Jinshi, staying in Beijing as an official and being released to a county magistrate, under the same conditions, the treatment and fate are absolutely very different. This is understood by referring to the Beijing officials and local civil servants of the Celestial Empire.

In the same way, there are also conventions and rules for the election of officials. The top three in the first class, that is, the three ding jia, directly entered the Hanlin Academy and became the promising Hanyuan minister, and even the internship period was exempted. For example, Jia Huan, he doesn't have to operate or anything. He just went to report directly to the Hanlin Academy in two days.

Also exempted from the internship period is also the Gilles. Of course, there is no museum selection in Imako. Otherwise, time is near. It is usually presided over by the Ministry of Etiquette, and the outstanding figures in the second and third class jinshi are selected into the Hanlin Academy to reserve talents for the country.

In addition, the rules for the selection of second-class jinshi officers are as follows: in the capital, you can choose to be the head of the six departments (Zheng Liupin); Go to the place, you can directly become a Zhizhou (from the five products).

In the capital, they can only be elected as officials of temples, prisons, and divisions; When you go to the locality, you can only serve as a magistrate and a magistrate.

As mentioned earlier, the Beijing officials are more valuable than the local officials. Among the magistrates, the chief officer is more valuable than the second officer. Among the Beijing officials, in addition to Kedao and Hanlin, the six departments are more valuable than the temples, prisons, and divisions. Among the six departments, the officials are the heaviest.

The officialdom level is such a layer-by-layer display.

Senior Brother and Luo Junzi are both top three, and Jinke does not have a museum to select Shu Jishi, closing the last door to change fate. It's true that their place is hardly satisfying. But in the end, it is the official body. Although it is difficult to elect officials, the election of officials in the national dynasty is not as difficult as in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the Jinshi belongs to the tiger class, and the vacancy is filled. You don't have to wait long at all.

"Senior brother, Luo Junzi, this..." Jia Huan was silent for a while, he really didn't know what to say? On the field, along the way, he has seen too many people fall behind. However, the three of them are the best people in Wendao Academy.

Gongsun Liang smiled and said chicly: "Senior Brother Jia, you don't have to persuade me. You see, you have a name for the Yuan, and you have given birth to so many incidents, and you have been sentenced to prison. Not to mention the intertwining of interests in officialdom.

I can't stand this kind of deceitful life. I am about to resign from the government and return to Wendao College to assist Mr. Yip in running the school. The five mountains are looking for immortals, and they are good to travel to the famous mountains in their lives. Ascending the spectacular world, the river is boundless and does not return. The yellow clouds are moving, and the white waves are nine snow-capped mountains. ”

His interest is not in officialdom, but in reading. Jia Huan's recent series of encounters made him a little disheartened. Firm in his own interests.

The senior brother's recitation is frustrated and excited, and it can be seen that after passing the imperial examination and not entering the officialdom, he seems to have some kind of brilliance on his body! As the saying goes, An Neng broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to deal with the powerful, which made me unhappy!

Thinking about the senior brother's qualifications for reading and the bad luck of the science field, Jia Huan didn't know what to say. The road of the senior brother, in the academy system, everyone's expectations for him. He knows. The mountain chief wants the elder brother to inherit his skills in learning. And put the expectations and connections of officialdom on him. The path of Confucianism taken by the elder brother. He followed the path of Zaifu.

"Senior brother, can my sister-in-law agree?"

The wife of the senior brother is the daughter of Wei Hanlin and Wei Yuanzhi, the house master of Jia Huan's examination. Wei Hanlin became friends with the mountain chief and others.

In the final analysis, the dynasty is an official-based society, an official body, if you don't want it, you don't want it, it's very chic, it's very free, but I'm afraid that the back house will be restless.

Gongsun Liang said confidently: "Your sister-in-law is knowledgeable and has the same interests as me, she will agree." Senior Brother Jia, I have made up my mind. He has a good relationship with his wife, "You better persuade Luo Junzi." He plans to take the exam again next year. ”

Luo Xiangyang was wearing a blue jinshi uniform, slightly chubby, with a bulging belly, he couldn't help but smile, rolled his eyes angrily, and said, "Senior Brother Gongsun, I am also 'I have made up my mind'." ”

The heavy atmosphere in the small hall suddenly relaxed a little.

Luo Junzi said to Jia Huan: "Ziyu, don't persuade me. The way of a gentleman: learn from things, cultivate one's self and family, and govern the country and level the world. If I enter the official career, how can I be a small official, sink into a subordinate, and waste my life. I don't take the three tripod armor, I would rather never be a leader. ”

Jia Huan seemed to have seen the little fat man he saw in the academy, nicknamed Gentleman. In the academy, if the sun rises in the east, the ambition is great. Confucian scholars have the heart to help the world. Is it just to be an official?

This is his classmate! At the crossroads of life, there are different choices!

Life should not only be a life for the sake of living, but also ideals, dreams, and aspirations. He respects their choice.

Jia Huan was generous in his heart, got up and said, "I practice for the two brothers." ”
