Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Nine Sufficiency!
After the palace examination rankings were announced for the first time outside the left gate of Chang'an, there were a series of follow-up ceremonies. Of course, they were all joyful ceremonies. This was not only a personal happy event, but also a great happy event for the court. As the saying goes, "Heaven opens up the fortune of literature, and the virtuous and handsome ascend to the mediocre!"
"
The next day, the new scholars who took the imperial examination in the 17th year of Chenghua went to the Imperial College to receive the Jinshi robes. On the next day, the famous Golden Palace passing ceremony was held. The new scholars put on the Jinshi robes and lined up neatly into the palace.
Meet the emperor at Fengtian Palace.
After the roll call was completed, the deacon held the gold medal first in the sound of drums, followed by the new Jinshi, and walked out of the left gate of Chang'an along the Royal Street, where the gold medal was officially hung up for all the people to see. Then Shuntian Prefecture sent the number one scholar home on horseback with an umbrella cover.
, this is what the people say about boasting about officials on the streets.
The next day, the emperor gave a banquet to the Ministry of Rites, which was called the Enrong Banquet or Qionglin Banquet. After the banquet, the new Jinshi spent three days in Honglu Temple to learn etiquette, and then formally attended the court meeting and thanked them.
After that, it was the last procedure before the new scholars entered the officialdom. Everyone had to go to the Imperial Academy to pay a visit to the Confucius Temple. After the ceremony, they formally changed their official uniforms, indicating that they were leaving their civilian status and becoming an official.
There is another matter. The Ministry of Rites will request the Ministry of Industry to erect a Jinshi monument at the Imperial College. All new Jinshi will leave their names here.
So far, for these three hundred new scholars, the imperial examination path or examination career full of thorns, glory, and dreams has become a thing of the past. The glory brought by the imperial examination is also a thing of the past, and a new life has begun.
In his yard, Fang Yingwu was filled with emotion as he held the newly-received crown uniform. The whole process of county examination, prefectural examination, road examination, then provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination seemed to be vivid in his mind.
Now that he was finally free from the exam, Fang Yingwu felt a little bit disappointed. Reading the scriptures and practicing Eight-part essays were too boring, and the high elimination rate of the imperial examinations put people under huge psychological pressure, so he couldn't
One day I didn't want to get rid of the shackles of the imperial examination.
At this moment, after suddenly loosening the shackles, Fang Yingwu felt quite complicated in his heart. In any case, the imperial examination also brought him many glorious moments. Without this path, he would have been a poor man for generations.
With their humble status, it is impossible for both father and son to become prominent in just a few years.
Not only Fang Yingwu, but all new scholars, especially those from poor backgrounds, will have similar emotions. In the morning, he was a farmhouse minister, and in the evening, he ascended to the emperor's hall. This huge change in status has a big impact on everyone.
Therefore, the imperial court will considerately give the Jinshis a transitional period. All new Jinshis can experience government administration in various departments of the court, which is similar to the internship in the 21st century. They are called Guanzheng Jinshi.
Fang Yingwu's mentality changed quickly. Let the past go! He quickly put aside his inexplicable sadness and entered the officialdom with enthusiasm! After suffering, he must be a master. The world here is vast, and as a second
The eighth-ranked Jinshi in A has great potential!
When the excitement of the Spring Festival Competition gradually subsided, a more important practical issue was placed in front of the three hundred freshly minted officialdom rookies, and that was the selection of officials.
There is no doubt about the importance of selecting officials. Although everyone is a Jinshi, it seems that they are equal now. But the fate of a person who has entered the Sixth Ministry and a person who has been released as a county magistrate will definitely be very different in the future.
However, it is said that there are certain rules for selecting officials. According to traditional practice, the top three will directly enter the Hanlin Academy and become the Hanyuan Ci ministers with the brightest future.
The treatment of the second-level Jinshi is also very generous. In Beijing, they can choose to be the head of the six ministries, and when they go abroad, they can be directly selected as the magistrate. As for the starting point of the third-level Jinshi, they can only be selected as officials of various temples, supervisors, and divisions in Beijing. When they go abroad, they can only be selected as officials of various temples, supervisors, and divisions.
Don't even think about serving as a county magistrate, being promoted to an official, or entering the six ministries.
Of course, the highly random "one test determines life" is not fair to the second- and third-class Jinshi, so there is another chance after the imperial examination, and that is the imperial examination.
After being selected by the Imperial Academy, Jinshi become Shujishi and can go to the Hanlin Academy for further studies. Under normal circumstances, the academy will be dismissed after three years. Those with good grades will stay in the Hanlin Academy as officials, and those with lower grades can enter the Imperial Academy (the Imperial Academy is extremely clear,
Very difficult to enter), you can enter six movies again.
If the middle Jinshi is called climbing the Dragon Gate, then being selected as the Shujishi means climbing the Dragon Gate and then the Tianmen. The future will be the real Qingyun Avenue, and promotion will be very fast. Therefore, the Shujishi is also called "Chu Xiang"
.For example, Fang Qingzhi was born in Shujishi, and now his prospects are very promising.
Under the unspoken rule that non-Hanlin scholars are not allowed to join the cabinet, for ordinary Jinshi, if they have great ambitions and covet high positions in the temple, the first step is to be selected as a Shujishi. At least since the Zhengtong period, most of the Zaifu academicians have been commoners.
Born in Jishi.
Before the Hongzhi Dynasty, the selection of the library was in an immature stage and its operation was not standardized. Sometimes the emperor directly selected shujishi; sometimes he inspected the poems and essays written by the jinshi and selected the best ones; sometimes the imperial court set examination questions.
, all the Jinshi answered the questions, and then the Shujishi were selected after answering.
But the more popular way is to rely on the selection of poems and essays. Each aspiring scholar can submit poems and essays that he usually writes, and then the court will select shuji scholars based on the poems and essays submitted. Of course, there must also be a re-examination to prove it.
The poems are indeed written by me.
As far as the other party is concerned, he is not too worried about his official position. He has ranking, merit, and background. No matter how he chooses an official, he cannot be bad. It is just a matter of how many floors he can go to. But the best choice
, of course, he was selected to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy.
Fang Yingwu also carefully considered the selection of the palace. In his opinion, the emperor's appointment of concubines mostly happened in the era when emperors such as Yongle and Xuande were relatively powerful. Such emperors themselves had a strong sense of autonomy.
I want to choose talents that completely suit my taste. But the current Emperor Chenghua is obviously not such an emperor, and he probably is too lazy to bother with this.
Therefore, Fang Yingwu judged that the most likely way to select the library this time is to rely on poetry. In fact, this is somewhat similar to the scrolls of the previous Tang Dynasty. I don’t know if it is considered an ancient style.
Compared with eight-part essays, this was his strong point! If he failed at this, he would be in vain as a time traveler! In this way, Fang Yingwu was busy preparing.
There are poems and essays, both poems and essays. Since time travel, I have copied many poems from later generations, and there are quite a few excellent ones. It is quite difficult to choose which ones to choose.
For example, the song "Man Jiang Hong" about Yue Fei may be in line with the taste of the ministers, but it is afraid of displeasing the emperor; another example is "Tomorrow's Song", which is sung all over the world along with the eight-part essay anthology. It is famous enough, and it is also very inspirational and has the main theme, but it is too popular and the artistic level is a bit low.
Low.
As for the article, just take two side stories. On the one hand, this is a very valuable article that has been proven correct by facts, and no one else can compare it. On the other hand, it also indirectly reminds the court not to forget about other things.
It would be too slow to treat the meritorious officials without giving them credit for their past achievements!
After careful selection, Fang Yingwu selected ten poems from his own works, together with two essays, and spent a whole day copying them carefully in standard Guange style, striving for perfection!
With these and other convenient conditions, it was easy to sneak into the Hanlin Academy! Fang Yingwu seemed to have seen the position of Prime Minister twenty years later and waved to him!
At dusk, Fang Qingzhi, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, the attendant of the East Palace, and the editor of Wenhua Daxue, came back from the Hanlin Academy. As soon as he entered the house, he was blocked by his son.
Fang Qingzhi looked at the stack of paper in Fang Yingwu's hand, full of doubts, "This is..."
Fang Yingwu replied enthusiastically: "This is a stepping stone for me, my son, to serve as a general in the future, to honor our ancestors, to serve the country, and to come from behind!"
Fang Qingzhi's face couldn't help but twitch a few times, "The first few sentences about being a father are understandable, but what does the last sentence about coming from behind mean?"
"By the way, I said the wrong thing. My father, please forgive me. You can skip this sentence." Fang Yingwu hurriedly said a few words modestly, "I wonder if the Ministry of Etiquette is still in charge of the Jinkeguan election? Please help me, father, to submit the poem to the Minister of Etiquette.
Mr. Zhou, with your face, I have a better chance of winning the hotel selection."
Fang Qingzhi looked at his son strangely, "My father seems to have heard that thirty common people were selected in the previous department. Now the Hanlin Academy is a bit overcrowded, so the imperial court does not want to select them in the current department."
The smug Fang Yingwu seemed to have been hit in the head, and his vision suddenly went dark...
Only then did he remember that the so-called irregular library selection not only meant that the library selection process was highly arbitrary, but also that the choice of library for each subject was more random...sometimes the library selected, sometimes not.
