After the first announcement of the palace examination ranking outside the left gate of Chang'an, there were a series of follow-up ceremonies, of course, all of which were joyful ceremonies, which were not only personal joys, but also great joys of the imperial court. As the saying goes, "Tiankai Wenyun, virtuous and virtuous!" ”

The next day, the new Jinshi of the 17th year of the Chenghua Palace Examination went to Guozijian to receive Jinshi scarf clothes. On the second day, the famous Golden Temple Ceremony was held. The new scholars wore Jinshi scarf uniforms, neatly lined up into the palace, and went to Fengtian Hall to meet the Son of Heaven.

After the roll call was completed, the deacon held the gold list in the sound of drums, and the new branch jinshi followed behind, along the royal street out of the left gate of Chang'an, and officially hung up the gold list for the people to watch. Later, Shuntianfu sent the champion to ride a horse with an umbrella cover, which is the rumored street boasting of the people.

The next day, the Son of Heaven gave a banquet to the Ministry of Rites, which was called the Grace Banquet or the Qionglin Banquet. After the banquet, the new branch jinshi spent three days in Honglu Temple to learn etiquette, and then officially participated in the court meeting and thanked him.

After that, it is a Zuihou procedure before the new science and technology jinshi enters the officialdom, and everyone must collectively go to the Confucius Temple to supervise the country, and after the ceremony, they will officially change their official uniforms, indicating that they will leave the civilian status and become an official.

There is also one other matter, the Ministry of Rites will ask the Ministry of Rites to erect a Jinshi monument in Guozijian, and all new Jinshi will be named here.

So far, for these 300 or so new scholars, the path of the imperial examination or the examination career full of thorns, glory, and dreams has become a thing of the past, and the glory brought by the imperial examination is also a thing of the past, and a new life has begun.

In his own yard, Fang Yingwu was full of emotion with the newly received crown clothes, county test, government test, road test, and then township test, meeting test, and palace test. The whole process seems to be vivid.

Now that he was finally completely relieved from the exam, Fang Yingwu felt a little lost. Reading the scriptures and studying the eight strands is too boring. The high elimination rate of the imperial examination has given people huge psychological pressure, so he does not want to get rid of the shackles of the imperial examination for a day.

It's really now. After suddenly loosening this restraint, Fang Yingwu's heart was quite complicated. In any case, the imperial examination also brought him many glorious moments, and without this path, it would not have been possible for both father and son to be ranked in the clear stream in just a few years by virtue of the humble status of the poor people of his generation.

Not only Fang Yingwu, but all new science and technology scholars, especially those from poor backgrounds, will have similar feelings. Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall. This huge change in identity has a big impact on everyone.

Therefore, the imperial court will be very considerate to give the jinshi a transition period, and all new science jinshi can observe the political experience in various departments of the imperial court, which is similar to the internship in the 21st century, which is called the Jinshi of Guanzheng.

Fang Yingwu's mentality changed quickly, let him go in the past! He quickly put aside his inexplicable sadness and threw himself into officialdom in full swing! After enduring the hardships, you have to be a master, the world here is vast, and there is a lot to be done as a high-ranking jinshi in the eighth place in the second grade!

When the craze of spring is gradually subsided. A more important practical issue is placed in front of the freshly baked 300 officialdom rookies, that is, the election of officials.

There is no doubt about the importance of electing officials, although everyone is a jinshi. It seems that they are still equal. But one who entered the sixth department and one who was released as a magistrate will have absolutely different fates in the future.

However, it is said that there are certain rules for the election of officials, according to traditional practice. Among them, the first and third entered the Hanlin Academy directly and became the most promising Hanyuan ministers.

The treatment of the second-class jinshi is also very generous. In Beijing, he can be selected as the head of the six departments, and he can be directly elected as the governor when he goes out. As for the starting point of the top three jinshi, it is even worse. In Beijing, he can only be elected as an official of the temples, supervisors, and departments, and he can only serve as a magistrate and an official when he goes out, and he doesn't want to enter the six departments.

Of course, the very random "one examination for life" is also unfair to the second- and third-class jinshi, so there is one more chance after the imperial examination, that is, the hall selection.

After the selection of the museum, the Jinshi became a Shujishi, and he could go to the Hanlin Academy for further study. Under normal circumstances, the museum will be disbanded after three years, and the results of the haode will stay in the Hanlin Academy as an official, and the second-class can enter the branch road (the branch road is extremely clear, and it is very difficult to enter), and you can enter the six departments again.

If Zhongjinshi is called Denglongmen, then being selected as Shujishi is to climb the Longmen and then climb a heavenly gate, the future is the real Qingyun Avenue, and the promotion is also very rapid, so Shujishi has a nickname called "Chu Xiang". For example, Fang Qingzhi is from a Shujishi, and now his prospects are very optimistic.

Under the unspoken rule that non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet, for ordinary Jinshi, if they are ambitious and covet high positions in the temple, then the first step is to be elected as a Shujishi. At least since the Orthodox period, most of the scholars of Zaifu University have been from the Shujishi.

Before the Hongzhi Dynasty, the museum selection was in an immature period, and the operation was not standardized. Sometimes it is the Son of Heaven who directly orders the Jishi; Sometimes it is to investigate the poems and texts that Jinshi usually makes, and select the best ones as Shujishi; Sometimes it is the imperial court that issues the exam questions, and the Jinshi answer the questions, and then choose the Jishi after answering.

But the more popular way is to rely on the poetry gallery. Each aspiring scholar can hand in the poems he usually makes, and then the imperial court selects the scholars based on the poems and essays submitted. Of course, it is also necessary to take a retest to prove that the poem is indeed done by me.

As far as the other party is concerned, he is not too worried about his official position. has ranking, merit, and background, no matter how he chooses officials, he can't be bad, it's just a matter of how many floors he can go up. But the best choice, of course, is to be selected by the museum to enter Hanlin.

Fang Yingwu also carefully considered the matter of the museum selection. In his mind, most of the things that happened when the emperors of Yongle and Xuande were relatively strong, such emperors themselves had a strong sense of autonomy and wanted to choose talents that completely matched their appetites. Now Shangchenghua Tianzi is obviously not such an emperor, and he is probably too lazy to bother with this kind of thought.

Therefore, Fang Yingwu judged that the most likely way to select the museum this time is to rely on poetry, in fact, this is a bit similar to the scrolls of the previous Tang Dynasty, I don't know if it is an ancient style.

Compared to Baguwen, this is his strength! If you make a mistake on this, you will be a traverser in vain! In this way, the things were busy preparing.

Poetry and poetry, there are poems and texts, since the crossing, there have been many plagiarized poems of later generations, and the fine works are not few, and it is quite painstaking to choose which ones.

For example, the song about Yue Fei's Man Jianghong may be in line with the minister's taste, but he is afraid that the Son of Heaven will not like it; Another example is the song of tomorrow that sings the world with the eight-strand anthology, which is famous enough, and it is also very inspirational and the main theme, but it is too popular, and the artistic level is slightly lower.

As for the article, just take two articles and come out. On the one hand, this is a very valuable article that has been proven to be correct, and no one else can compare with it; On the other hand, it is also an indirect reminder to the imperial court not to forget the past merits of other parties, and not even to give a Jishi, it is too slow to treat the heroes!

After careful selection, Fang Yingwu selected ten poems from his own works, together with two essays, and spent a whole day copying them carefully and carefully in a standard pavilion style, striving for perfection!

With these and other conveniences, you can get caught in the Hanlin Academy! Fang Yingwu seemed to see the position of Zaifu twenty years later beckoning to him!

At dusk, Fang Qingzhi, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, the waiter of the East Palace, and the editor of the Wenhua Daxun, came back from the Hanlin Academy, and was blocked by his son as soon as he entered the house.

Fang Qingzhi looked at the stack of notes in Fang Yingwu's hand, full of doubts, "This is"

Fang Yingwu replied proudly: "This is the stepping stone for my son and me to enter the prime minister in the future, glorify the ancestors, serve the country, and come from behind!" ”

Fang Qingzhi's face couldn't help but twitch a few times, "The first few sentences are understandable for the father, but what does the first few sentences mean by the fact that Zuihou is coming from behind?" ”

"Say the wrong thing, say the wrong thing with your mouth, and your father forgives you, this sentence can be skipped." Fang Yingwu hurriedly said a few words modestly, "I don't know if the selection of the current branch museum is still presided over by the Ministry of Rites?" I would like to ask my father to help deliver the poems to Mr. Zhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, with your face, the chances of winning the museum election are a few points greater. ”

Fang Qingzhi looked at his son strangely, "My father seems to have heard that thirty Shuji scholars were selected in the last subject, and now the Hanlin Academy is a bit overcrowded, so the imperial court doesn't want to choose it in the current science hall." ”

Fang Yingwu, who was full of ambition, seemed to have been hit on the head, and his eyes suddenly went black

He remembered that the so-called non-standard selection of museums not only refers to the arbitrariness of the selection process, but also the greater randomness of whether each subject is selected by the library, and sometimes the selection is not. (To be continued......)
