When it was almost dark, Lin Yanchao, Lu Yicheng and Lin Shibi attended the Enrong Banquet together.

The Enrong Banquet is the Qionglin Banquet that is well-known among the people, but the Qionglin Banquet is the name of the Song Dynasty. Our Ming Dynasty called the Enrong Banquet, which is located in the Ministry of Rites and is hosted by Guanglu Temple.

Although Lin Yanchao is currently the top scholar, he has not yet been officially appointed as an official and the official's etiquette has not been established yet.

Therefore, he still asked Zhan Ming to catch the car and go from the guild hall. However, a wind lantern with the words "Gong Rong Banquet" was hung in front of the carriage, and then headed to the Ministry of Rites.

When it is almost dark, it is also the peak period for the roads in the capital.

On the road, there were sedan chairs, carriages, horses and donkeys, and the traffic was very congested. However, after hanging a wind light to the Enrong Banquet, it seemed like a green light was turned on along the way.

Everyone knew that it was a new Jinshi who went to the Enrong Banquet, so they all avoided the road and gave in. The carriage entered Zhengyang Gate smoothly and then headed towards the ritual office of the Ministry of Rites.

In the carriage, Lin Yanchao leaned against the wall to rest as he was resting. Today was too tired and didn't want to talk. Lu Yicheng was in a good mood and kept talking, while Lin Shibi ignored him at all, just thinking that Lu Yicheng was just air.

Lu Yicheng thought that Lin Shibi didn't speak because he was in a bad mood. He thought that Lin Shibi had won the 39th place in the imperial examination. It was absolutely safe to enter the second grade in the palace examination, but he ended up in the third grade in the palace examination.

As for Lu Yicheng, he had never wanted to enter the second grade, and it was no surprise that he was now a third grade. So he kindly advised Lin Shibi to say a few words, "Don't care about anything, there is not much difference between the second grade and the third grade, so don't take it to heart."

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but smile when he looked around. He knew that for the princes of the aristocratic family, such as Lin Shibi, he didn't even care about the level of the second and third-class officials.

Lin Shibi's examination for Jinshi was more about proving himself to the world. Lin Yanchao guessed that with his unruly nature, he could be able to stay in the system for two years after being appointed as an official and not leaving without a title. This is a miracle in the world.

As for why Lin Shibi doesn't want to pay attention to Lu Yicheng. Lin Yanchao can know from Lin Shibi's body language that he just wants to say to Lu Yicheng at this moment, don't talk to me.

As for how much difference is the second-class Jinshi and the third-class Jinshi? The second-class official is awarded from the seventh rank, while the third-class official is awarded from the eighth rank.

Lin Yanchao was wondering at first. He thought that the lowest level of Jinshi in the third grade could be a county magistrate. So since he was a county magistrate, he was at least a seventh rank, how could he be only a eighth rank?

Later, Lin Yanchao learned that this eighth rank was for the Beijing officials.

For example, if the official in Beijing is the seventh rank, then the place where the person is sent is generally awarded the sixth rank, and this is not an promotion but a transfer. This is a suppression of the local officials by Beijing officials. Therefore, after being awarded a three-level Jinshi, he can only be in the eighth rank, and he can be a county magistrate of the seventh rank when he arrives at the place.

In the past, there were three Jinshis who passed the imperial examination and were appointed as officials of the Ministry of Personnel and were thrown into poverty-stricken mountainous areas as county magistrates. Then this person refused to go to the death. I was not satisfied with this first choice, so I asked for a volunteer transfer, otherwise I would not resign and refuse to do so.

The Ministry of Personnel is also tolerant of Jinshi who must stay in Beijing for violating their first choice. You can stay in Beijing. But there is no official eighth rank, so you should stay in Beijing. OK! Do you want to stay in Beijing from the ninth rank?

This seems aggrieved, but for officials, as long as they stay in Beijing, they will have a way to get promoted in the future.

Of course, this is also a favorable Jinshi in the court. Otherwise, the Jinshi is a tiger class that is ready to be used below the list. If you change to a juren, an official from a supervisor dares to speak out to the official award of the Ministry of Personnel. OK. Just go back and wait for the vacancies. The deadline will start from 100 years!

The three of them came to the Ministry of Rites.

Each new Jinshi had a sign of Enrong Yan three sons hanging on the black hat, which was the pass, and entered the Ministry of Rites’ lobby unimpeded.

In the banquet hall, although the banquet had not yet started, hundreds of new Jinshis who came to the Enrong Banquet early. All the Jinshis gathered together to talk and laugh, full of joy of becoming officials soon.

As soon as Lin Yanchao arrived in the hall, Gu Xiancheng and Wei Yunzhong and several other Jinshi came together to meet Lin Yanchao.

Lin Yanchao also worshipped several people in the same year. Among them, he looked at a few more times at a three-level Jinshi named Yang Hao.

Wei Yunzhong said very enviously: "Zong Hai, the top scholar, has passed the imperial examination. He went to Penghuan for thousands of miles. Shi Xi was appointed as a sixth-rank editor and entered the Hanlin Academy as a minister. It is really enviable. Compared to us, we have to go to the sixth-department and Nine Ministers' Office to be appointed as an official for three months. The difference is like clouds and mud!"

You should know that in the eighth year of Wanli, there were no scholars in this subject. Except for the Sanding Jia, all the new Jinshi must first observe politics for three months in the six ministries and nine ministers. Only by deciding on their performance can they be officially appointed as officials at home and outside. As for Lin Yanchao, he can go to the Hanlin Academy to report to become an official the day after tomorrow.

Lin Yanchao bowed and said, "Don't be up to you, Hanlin officials are in a state of hardship. I have been prepared for it. However, in the future, you can make great achievements and show your strengths and moves, which is really envious."

"Oh, may Zong Hai also like to serve as an official?"

Lin Yanchao thought that this was his ambition and there was nothing to hide. He said calmly: "I am making ambition to do my best."

"That's difficult. As a Hanlin, Zong Hai was a sixth-rank graduate, but it was not easy to get promoted in the Hanlin Academy. I'm afraid there are not many opportunities to do it." After Gu Xiancheng's debate on taking off his socks and shoes that day, he obviously respected Lin Yanchao a lot and became polite, and he didn't look as arrogant as before.

Lin Yanchao said: "Take one step at a time, and you may be able to be released for one day in the future."

Everyone took a look and said, "It's hard to release Hanlin." Unless you make a mistake, you have to be qualified in the Hanlin Academy.

Everyone was about to persuade Lin Yanchao, but at this time he heard the praise of the official: "Sir, the Minister of Personnel, here!"

The Jinshi in the hall was solemn and silent, and then they bowed to the door together.

At this moment, the big guys at the Enrong Banquet have not arrived yet, and the first one is the Minister of Personnel.

Hundreds of Jinshi bowed and bowed, but saw Wang Guoguang, the Minister of Personnel, stepping into the banquet hall and smiling: "Don't be too polite, you all have no pride today, there is no high or low, only the upper and lower levels to enjoy together."

"Thank you Dazai!"

All the Jinshis were dismissed, but they saw Wang Guoguang and several officials of the Ministry of Personnel, and walked to the seat together.

Looking at Wang Guoguang, the Jinshi's eyes became eager.

Yang Hao said to Wei Yunzhong, Gu Xiancheng said: "Do you know? There are differences in the Jinshi in the second class. My uncle was the first to join the Sixth Department. However, for us, who are from the Third Class, the best way out is to go to the Censorate to observe the political affairs."

Wei Yunzhong said, "Yes, the master of science and technology. If you go to the Censorate to observe politics, as long as you can get the second-class level in the middle and the upper class in the examination, you can be awarded the imperial censor."
