The second day after the Enrong Meeting, the new Jinshi needed to report to the Honglu Temple for a three-day "pre-job training", mainly to study the official etiquette of court meetings, banquets, sacrifices and other official rituals.

After Lin Qingran and eleven people arrived at Honglu Temple in the morning, they met with other new Jinshi again, and were then taken to Confucius Temple by Honglu Temple officials to perform a series of thank-you rituals.

In addition to thanking Confucius, their new Jinshi, they also thanked the Four Saints and Twelve Sages and the Sixty-Two Predecessors, namely Confucius' seventy-two disciples and some outstanding descendants.

It is worth mentioning that these sages are in a strict order, and the order of pouring tea must not be mistaken. Even the sixty-two sages have a strict distinction between high and low.

With the different idea of ​​everyone's equality, although Confucianism has always promoted words such as "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you", the concept of superiority and inferiority is simply deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

After worshiping the Confucius Temple, another ceremony was held, and the name of the Jinshi was erected.

The title stele of the Jinshi was not created by this dynasty, but originated from the Renzong of the Yuan Dynasty. He named the new Jinshi of that year on a stone tablet to show his family and bring honor to his ancestors for generations.

But things have proved that the original intention of the Jinshi stele inscribed with the name of the Jinshi stele was probably difficult to achieve. Because the Jinshi stele in the Yuan Dynasty had been destroyed, the Jinshi stele I saw now are all the Jinshi steles of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be imagined that if the Ming Dynasty was overthrown in the future, their names on the Jinshi Monument would also be destroyed.

But no matter that, it is also a great honor to be able to leave a name here at this time. Therefore, everyone rushed to the newly erected Jinshi Monument, and when they saw their name engraved on it, their eyes revealed excitement and pride.

"Why is this Jinshi Monument covered with a red cloth?" Someone found a Jinshi Monument covered with a red cloth next to him, and immediately asked his companions around him in confusion.

Lin Qingran was also puzzled. The leading Honglu Temple official called him over and said respectfully to him: "I'll ask the top scholar to unveil this Jinshi monument for us."

Lin Qingran naturally agreed to this request and immediately pulled the red cloth off.

The Jinshi gathered around watching the fun and took a breath, then looked at Lin Weiran with envy.

Lin Qingran was confused at first, and when he looked at the front of the Jinshi Monument, he also took a breath.

The material of this Jinshi Monument is precious white marble, which is one meter tall, with auspicious cloud patterns on the head, and the thick seal script in the middle says: "Da Ming Wenkui", and the following is Lin Qingran's life introduction.

In the Jinshi Monument, the independent stele was something that the Ming Dynasty had never seen before, and the white marble stele was particularly conspicuous here. However, Lin Weiran, who won six yuan in a row, could indeed bear such treatment.

Lin Qingran didn't expect that there would be this happening, and he was also extremely happy.

"This monument was erected by the will of the Lord. From today on, you will be a model for my scholars from the Ming Dynasty!" The official from the Honglu Temple next to him looked at him with a smile and said seriously to him.

"The Lord, how can I dare to take it?" Lin Qingran looked towards Xiyuan, looking flattered and grateful.

Of course, he is mostly performing. He is a more pragmatic person, and his real money is far better than these false names, or it is okay to get him promoted to the third level.

Next, facing everyone's congratulations, Lin Xun seemed not arrogant or impatient. He would give him a gift seriously and try to remember their appearance as much as possible.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Except for the first Jinshi, the rest went to the Ministry of Personnel to take the imperial examination.

In just one day, the Ministry of Personnel hung a list of 357 new Jinshis in front of the yamen.

As the top scorer in the new subject, Lin Junran is naturally a second-rank Hanlin editor who is the second-rank Hanlin editor. Mao Dunyuan and Tanhua Xu Wei are both the seventh-rank Hanlin editors. There is no suspense for the three of them.

The Shuji, who was looking forward to the second-class Jinshi, also came to the prelude. As Ning Jiang had previously guessed, the number of Shujishi admitted this time has greatly reduced, with only a mere twelve.

Shujishi cannot be considered a Hanlin student. They are actually interns who go to Hanlin Academy and can study in Hanlin Academy for three years. After three years, if they have excellent grades in the random exam, they will be awarded an official position and officially become Hanlin officials.

Although this path is far away and is far less comfortable than being able to directly be awarded an official position in the first class, in the eyes of all new Jinshis, this Shujishi is the best distribution.

However, this Shuji scholar had too many monks and little porridge, and most of them had no chance of being with the Hanlin Academy. After losing the Hanlin Academy, the prime minister's place, everyone's eyes naturally fell on the six ministries and nine ministers.

There is no unified answer to which of the six ministries and nine ministers is the first choice. Some people recommend the six ministries’ Ministry of Personnel, while others recommend the Censorate. The former has the right to assess personnel, while the latter is the imperial censor who "specially bites" the imperial officials.

Censor.

If he could join the six ministers and nine ministers, although he was destined to be out of the cabinet, as long as he stayed up honestly, he might become the leader of the yamen. For example, Wu Peng, the current Minister of Personnel, although he was not from a Hanlin family, who would dare to miss him?

But the facts are always so cruel. Most Jinshis cannot not only enter the Hanlin Academy, but also stay in central departments such as the Six Ministry and Nine Ministers. All of them have to go to the local area to serve.

These officials will get seven ranks of real shortcomings when they go to the local area, most of which are magistrates. However, this type of official is far away from the political center, and if there is no strong connection and opportunity on it, it will be extremely difficult to get promoted.

In addition, if you can be assigned to a wealthy place to be an official, you can live a comfortable life, but if you are assigned to a remote and poor area, you will be afraid it will be difficult to survive.

But things in the world are afraid of comparison. There is no worst, only worse.

The second-class Jinshi was afraid of the six ministers and nine ministers in Nanjing, and the third-class Jinshi was afraid of the royal officials. The former was unwilling to go to the nursing home to drink tea with the elderly, while the latter was unwilling to go to the "pig pen" to accompany the pigs to eat and wait for death.

It is worth mentioning that the new Jinshi has the privilege of refusing to be assigned, and can strongly express that they want to stay in Beijing for posts. The Ministry of Personnel can also tolerate such new Jinshi who refuse to be assigned, but these new Jinshi can only enjoy the admission benefits of Juren.

It often starts with a ninth-rank official.

When the list was published, Lin Qingran and eleven people, together with the new Guangdong Jinshi who happened to come over, came to the office of the Ministry of Personnel to look at the list, and everyone's mood suddenly fluctuated.

Ningjiang indeed arrived at the Ministry of War, Zhang Wei entered the Censorate, but others were allocated to the local area, some were assigned to the prosperous land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, while others were assigned to the "New Province" of the Ming Dynasty - Jiaozhicheng Announcement of the Political Envoy Department, that is, later generations

Vietnam.
