Fang Yun and the others walked to the round table, the huge round table can seat thirty people, each chair is no different, there is no name identification, but in the process of following Fang Yun, everyone is sorted according to their position.

If the position is the same, the order of the Jinshi in the examination will be followed, and if the same list is the same year, the ranking will be ranked in the order of the list.

When Fang Yun stood on the edge of the chair at the front, the four Hanlin stood behind the chair to his left, and the rest of them also chose their seats.

Without anyone's guidance, they can find their place.

After the thirty jinshi stood up, the rest of the guests also found their own seats one after another, and no one sat down.

In front of the red Jinshi table, there is a white marble staircase leading to the Fengtian Temple, and the entire Fengtian Hall is built on a platform, and between the stairs and the temple gate, there is a vacant space.

On the open space of the platform, incense tables and other prayer utensils are placed on the platform, which is obviously different from the sacrificial ceremonies of the holy temple, ancestral temple or mountains and rivers, and is not so grandiose.

After a while, the drums sounded in unison, and I saw the Queen Mother slowly walking out of the Fengtian Hall with the monarch in her arms.

The monarch is young and cannot pray for rain, so it must be led by the Queen Mother, who can only listen to the government with curtains, and will cover her face with a thin veil when praying for rain to avoid messing up the etiquette.

The Queen Mother bypassed the table and stood still in front of everyone, and then everyone greeted her.

After that, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites presided over the prayer for rain and read the blessings.

If it is a big sacrifice, even the monarch must kneel down to worship heaven and earth first, but this is not the case with the early spring festival.

The queen mother hugged the little monarch to the palace maid, and then stood in front of the incense case to worship the sky, and everyone just bowed and bent over, not kneeling and worshipping.

After worshipping the sky, send beautiful jade, cloth and three animals in turn, and then offer wine, everyone worships again, and then the ritual music sounds, and people are ordered to dance. Finally, the wine is offered again and the prayer for rain is concluded.

However, an embarrassing thing happened, and after the prayer for rain ended, no rain fell from the sky.

Although this is a common thing, everyone present felt a little uncomfortable, even if the Queen Mother was masked, they all noticed that she seemed to be a little unhappy.

According to the custom, at this time, Wen Xiang will stand up and pray for rain again in mournful words. But secretly, he borrowed the power of the temple to rain.

The unexpected appeared.

Ao Huang muttered in a low voice: "It's just raining, pray for a fart." After speaking, his waist shook, and his body soared as high as a five-story building, and he swayed up.

Everyone felt a golden light rush up to the sky, and they heard the thunder rolling, and then the dark clouds were thick, and they saw a golden dragon shadow rolling in the dark clouds.

Fang Yun saw that Ao Huang was going to flood the imperial city, and hurriedly said softly: "Ao Huang, let the rain be lighter!"

"Click......"

A bright thunderbolt flashed across the sky. Thunder covered almost the entire city, and the deafening sound of thunder rolled in all directions.

A drizzle of cattle fell and enveloped the capital.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother prays for rain, and the real dragon personally helps." It is really the appearance of holiness, God bless Jingguo!"

The crowd immediately shouted: "God bless Jingguo!"

Many people breathed a sigh of relief and let the real dragon rain in the clouds, which was much better than mobilizing the temple's talent to cheat. At least it can be recorded in the history books, and it will be blown up, and other countries can not enjoy the treatment of the real dragon cloth.

Fang Yun secretly glanced at the Queen Mother on the stage. I feel like her attitude is much better.

Subsequently, the palace was sheltered from the drizzle, so that everyone could hold a meeting in the rain.

The palace people removed the incense case and other utensils, and when the queen mother sat down, everyone also sat down.

After praying for rain, it was the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who personally stepped forward to pick up the holy decree, read out the thirty people who had made great achievements, praised everyone, and praised Fang Yun emphatically. At the end, the reward was announced, and everyone was promoted to the rank of official, and each person was rewarded with a Jinshi Wenbao, as well as mansions, fields, gold and silver treasures, and other things.

The thirty jinshi were all overjoyed.

Many people are thinking in their hearts, Fang Yun has increased his official rank, plus his previous merits, and when the palace test is completed, if he embarks on an official career, the minimum is also six Shangshu, and it is not good to pay direct homage to the prime minister, this simply subverts the officialdom of the ten countries, if anyone dares to be promoted with him, it is better to die headlong.

There were thirty Jinshi's relatives at the banquet, all of them were excited, and in the future, these Jinshi almost had a gold medal for avoiding death, and they made such a big contribution to Jingguo, as long as they didn't make mistakes, they would inevitably rise step by step, even if they made small mistakes, no one dared to target them too much.

If these people devote themselves to politics and the army, at most twenty years, Jingguo will inevitably be the world of these people.

The promotion of officialdom in the Ten Nations requires not only factions, but also real merit.

Let Jingguo overwhelm the ten countries and win the first place, this is the top merit, which is greater than the merits of education, peace of the people, enrichment of the people, military strategy, etc.

Even if the monarch grows up in the future, he will not dare to demote these people casually, otherwise those imperial historians will dare to admonish them in the Jinluan Palace.

The people of the Zuo Xiang Party and the Kang Wang Party sighed secretly, among the 30 Jinshi, only three were members of the two parties, and the rest were not deeply related to these two parties.

The official position of the newly promoted jinshi has not yet been determined, but the rest of the jinshi have official positions, and at least more than half of them will take this opportunity to be promoted, whether they are civil officials or military officials, they will inevitably have great real power.

Like a few Hanlin, it is justified to go directly to be the governor of a state or the governor of the state army.

Jingguo's official position is limited, and with these people having real power, the power of the two parties of Zuo Xiang and King Kang will inevitably be weakened.

What's more, now that Zuo Xiang Liushan is in Taoguang, it is impossible to tear his face and compete for the official position with Jinshi or Hanlin, who have made great achievements, the only thing he can do is to let Ji Zhibai and the other three occupy the best official position.

However, Ji Zhibai is very talented, and in the future, he will inevitably go to the Holy Academy for further study for at least two years after completing the temple examination, and it is impossible to grasp real power, which leads to the fact that the party of Zuo Xiang has received little benefit in the near future.

Seeing through these, the relationship between the two parties of Zuo Xiang and King Kang is a little low.

After the reward, the wine and food are served.

Fang Yun and the other twenty-nine people sat around, and these thirty people first toasted the Queen Mother and the monarch, then toasted the rest of the guests, and finally drank each other, drinking a total of three glasses before starting to eat.

He Ludong ate a few bites, put down his chopsticks, and sighed lightly: "Thinking back to a few days ago, nine deaths and one life are like a lifetime. ”

"Yes, I have been fighting with the demon barbarians for more than ten years, but the battle of the hunting ground is definitely the most sinister battle! ”

"Hehe, think about those idiots of the Lei family, it makes all 36,000 pores in the body uncomfortable. ”

Ji Zhibai sighed: "Thanks to Fang Xusheng, he saved our lives, and also achieved my literary courage. Come, everyone toasts the cup of hypocrisy. ”

Everyone hurriedly raised their glasses.

Fang Yun smiled and picked up the wine glass, touched it with everyone, and drank it all.

Qiao Juze said with a smile: "How is it, are today's poems ready? Don't blame me for not reminding you before, according to the convention, the first poem of the Early Spring Literary Association should not only write about spring, but also about rain." ”

"This is definitely not difficult for Fang Xusheng. "Ji Zhibai said.

"You can't have prepared it a long time ago, right?" Ma Chaoming beside him sipped his wine.

"No, I only remembered it today, but I already have a draft, so it shouldn't be a problem. Fang Yundao.

"That's good, I'll just say that the early spring Wenhui can't help but be a Fang Xusheng. ”

Ji Zhibai lowered his voice and said: "But don't take it lightly, in case you don't care, just write an ordinary poem, I'm afraid that someone will fight for the position." Even if it is only for a while, it will be hyped up, and some literary pressure and false saints will be blown in private. (To be continued......)
