Today, colorful flags in the palace are flying, and a huge red carpet extends from Wuying Hall to Donghua Gate. The palace guards on both sides also rarely wear red helmets, red armor, and huge red lanterns.
It was also just replaced.
The Jinshi Banquet is not only a joy for the Jinshi, it is also a joy for the royal family. The three-year scientific examination is over, 440 talents have been produced, and the royal family has a large number of talents available. How can you not be happy? Never mind
Whether the emperor really likes talents or he is fake, he has to show his appearance.
All four hundred and forty Jinshi had arrived and entered the side hall to change clothes in advance.
Lin Su wears the number one scholar robe, a bright red robe with five types of exotic birds on it, commonly known as the five-animal robe. The emperor wears a dragon robe, the queen wears a phoenix robe, and the number one scholar, the second-place scholar, and Tanhualang wear five-animal robes, which are themselves the opposite.
Their biggest affirmation is that although they are both in the Five Birds Pao, there are differences between the number one, number two and third person. The number one person is bright red, the person number two is dark red and the person number three is light red.
The other Jinshi all wear blue robes. However, the green robes of the Holy Jinshi have three gold threads added to them, while the Jinshi without these three lines are not included.
The results of the scientific examination are fully reflected here.
As soon as the golden bell rang, the ministers came to the palace.
The golden bell rings twice, and the Jinshi comes to the hall.
The number one scholar is in the middle, the second one is on the left, the top three is on the right, with Sanlang at the head, followed by a group of Jinshi, stepping onto the Wuying Hall step by step.
The weather was sunny, the scenery was pleasant, the wind was blowing, the clouds were flying, and accompanied by the distant bells of the palace, the young scholars formally entered the palace and entered the highlight moment of their lives.
In the Wuying Hall, the emperor is wearing formal attire today, with a dragon robe and a high crown, sitting firmly on a dragon chair, at the end of the golden hall. Below are various ministers, headed by Lu Tiancong on the left, and Zhang Juzheng on the right, followed by
There are more than 300 people in total including the left and right officials, the six ministers, the head of the Supervisory Council, the minister, etc.
Between the ministers and the emperor, there are two square formations, headed by the prince on the left, followed by four princes, and three people sitting side by side on the right. These are three of the five kings with different surnames in Da Cang, King Qi Fu of the South, King Zhou Jiang of Thunder,
Du Yunhe, King of Lingnan.
Recruiting scholars from the world is a major event for the country, and all princes and princes should participate in it. However, there are still a few princes and princes who did not participate. For example, the seventh prince practiced spiritual practice and traveled far away from home. He always ignored the affairs of the government. For example, King Chen was drunk and dreaming.
It has been five years since I left Chenzhou.
Everyone is used to their retreat.
The two kings with different surnames, the King of the North and the King of the East, have been sick for many years, so they really can't come.
King Nan had not come before because he was a rough man and was incompatible with civilized affairs. For any important civilized affairs, if you invited him, it would be like slapping him in the face. He would be furious, so he rarely went to court.
But today he was haunted. He took the initiative to enter the palace to attend today's Jinshi banquet, which made the emperor puzzled for a while.
Why did King Nan come? He really couldn't defeat his daughter. The other princes kept their promises at home, but he was an exception. It was all because he didn't read much, but he longed for the solemnity and sanctity of literature. That day he used three
At the age of eighteen, he was crowned king after a battle. After arriving in the capital, he was stunned by the prosperity of the capital, so he made an excessive request to the late emperor, saying that I had not read many books and it was too late to make up for the temporary fire. I could only send mail
I hope that in the next generation, the emperor will give me a princess so that she can help me change my barbarian habits and give me a son who is knowledgeable and polite.
This made the emperor worried.
To be crowned a king, do you need to bring a daughter in?
The most important thing is that you, Lao Qi, have grown up like that. As a father, I really couldn’t bear to push my daughter into the fire pit, so I gave a palace maid the title of princess and gave it to Lao Qi as a reward. This was purely a marriage gift.
, which made Lao Qi very happy. Regardless of whether she is a real princess or a gifted princess, the key is that this daughter-in-law is beautiful and literate and knows etiquette. She is completely different from the women in the tribe.
Although it took the palace maid a long time to adapt to her husband who looked like a pig, she also had the same advantage, that is, Nan Wang Qifu really doted on her. Gradually, the princess slowly took control of the prince. In the palace, the prince's affairs
It was up to her, she gave birth to three sons and one daughter to the prince, and her life was pretty good.
Perhaps inspired by the princess, the princess Qi Yao did not regard her father as a prince. She was very arrogant and would always slap her father in the face. When her father got angry, she would quote scriptures and reason with her father. She
Her father had barely read a few books and had a deep-rooted respect for literature. How could he win over her? So, the little princess killed her father!
This time, it was her father who was at fault in the first place. Who asked you to be arty and catch your son-in-law? Now that you have caught him, the princess also agreed. Confucius said: Don't use inappropriate methods, use real moves... That's her
The princess's husband, now that the husband has escaped, you must find him for me.
As soon as her father heard what Zi said, he was dumbfounded and speechless. How could this be done? The princess gave him an idea. Aren't you sure that Wu Zixu came from the Confucian Temple? The new Jinshi did not run away. The new Jinshi has finished participating.
The Jinshi Banquet will be all over the place immediately. You really can’t find it. You must seize this last opportunity and go to the Jinshi Banquet and keep a close eye on it. Find that person for your daughter. Don’t even think about tying him up with a hemp rope on the spot.
, it will be easy as long as you confirm his true identity. Remember, don’t use hemp rope at the scene! Don’t use hemp rope! It will be very embarrassing and make people laugh. Confucius said...
King Nan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, entered the palace early, sat firmly on the second level, and comprehensively searched for all Jinshi.
When the Jinshi came in, King Nan's eyes suddenly opened wide. He was in the martial arts realm. He was a sloppy person, but his cultivation level was not ambiguous at all. The Jinshi was still three steps away from the last step, and he had already taken the entire Qingyi Jinshi.
The group searched it all over. After this search, his heart skipped a beat. It's over. Why not?
How to explain to the princess now? How to explain to the daughter?
That Wu Zixu is not a Jinshi?
What have I done? A large group of Jinshis came out of it. I could even catch a Jinshi with my eyes closed, but why didn’t I? My ancestors didn’t accumulate virtue...
The eunuch stretched his neck and shouted: The new champion, second in the ranking, Tanhualang, bring all the Jinshi into the palace to pay homage to His Majesty!
Lin Su, Jun Zuofu, and Lu Yao brushed their red robes and walked ahead. When they reached the halfway point, they knelt down at the same time. Lin Su felt uncomfortable kneeling down. He was really not used to kneeling down for others, but
There is no way, who made him the emperor?
The emperor nodded: "Scientific examination is the country's most important tool for identifying talents, and Xiang is an important tool for the country. Dear friends, you have passed all the way and finally stood in the Wuying Palace. Congratulations!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone shouted in unison. These Jinshi were all young people, and they were in a moment of passion. These three words shook the whole hall.
His Majesty smiled: "My dear friends, raise your heads."
Lin Su slowly raised his head and saw His Majesty. His Majesty was about fifty years old. His face was red and his complexion was quite good. The golden palace was majestic and he had a stern demeanor. The prince on the left raised his eyes and met him. He clearly felt
There was an eerie chill, and the princes behind them had wandering eyes, seemingly not interested in these things at all.
Lin Su instantly interpreted something interesting in his mind.
The third prince behind the crown prince is very ambitious. I heard that in the past three days, the third prince extended an olive branch to at least a hundred people. He has expressed goodwill to almost all of the Holy Jinshi group, except for the Lin family brothers.
The third prince aspired to a great position and recruited talents from all over the world, but he neglected the Lin family brothers.
What about the prince? One look showed his hostility towards the Lin brothers.
The Lin brothers became taboo for everyone.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This ancient saying has no effect here. Isn’t it interesting?
What about the right side?
Lin Su's eyes moved to the right. Suddenly, he was startled, holy shit! Nan Wang! Didn't Nan Wang never go to the palace? Why are you here today? Also, Nan Wang had a pair of bull eyes to meet him,
The mouth is also opened very wide...
King Nan was completely shocked.
What did I see? Number one scholar!
I searched the entire Jinshi community and couldn't find Wu Zixu, but when the Number One Scholar looked up, I found it, it was him! Wu Zixu was actually the Number One Scholar!
King Nan almost jumped up and grabbed Lin Sula. He went back and settled the unfinished things with his daughter. Fortunately, the princess repeatedly warned, today is in the Golden Palace, you must not act rashly, otherwise,
It is a small thing to make people laugh, but it is a big thing to make your majesty angry. The Master said...
King Nan controlled the turmoil in his heart, but his pair of bull eyes could not control it no matter what. They locked onto Lin Su firmly, and the tumbling in his heart slowly turned into a burst of ecstasy. Princess, Yao'er, do you admire me today? So much.
When Jinshi came out of the Confucian Temple, I got the number one scholar as soon as I made a move. Haha, the Nanwang Mansion is going to be prosperous!
His Majesty glanced at Lin Su's face, and suddenly felt a little happy in his heart. He finally saw the panic on the face of this lawless champion. I thought you were really fearless, but it turns out that you are sometimes afraid!
He completely misunderstood the meaning. He thought Lin Su was afraid of his imperial power...
"Once the Jinshi Banquet is over, you are all regarded as officials who have joined the office. You must fulfill your duties and share your worries."
"I will obey your Majesty's instructions!" Everyone responded in unison.
"The edict of conferment, read it!"
Banned!
Everyone was excited at the same time. They had been waiting for this moment for ten years.
"The number one scholar, Lin Su, is granted the title of fifth-rank supervisor to supervise local officials in various places..."
Everyone was shocked at the same time. The number one scholar was actually appointed as an inspector. This was completely different from everyone's judgment. Everyone judged that the number one scholar was a natural bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. The emperor liked it and would confer you with the title of fifth-rank editor. He didn't like it very much.
, will be awarded the title of Editor of the Fifth Grade. No matter what, he must also have the title of Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. This title is coveted by the whole world and represents the nobility of the number one scholar.
But now, Lin Su is actually just an inspector, without even a title. There are many inspectors. They just run around, find any misdeeds by officials, and report them to the Supervisory Council. It's hard work, and it also offends people.
Lin Su had no expression on his face and bowed: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"Zuofu, the second-ranked scholar, edited and edited from the fifth-rank Hanlin Academy..."
"Tanhua Lang Lu Yao, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, serves in the Ministry of Etiquette..."
There are all question marks in everyone's eyes, especially Lin Jialiang. The top pick, the second pick, the third best pick, and the second pick entered the Hanlin Academy, but only the top pick is not. This is a slap in the face! It is a slap in the face!
It also sent a clear signal to the whole world that the royal family did not like the Lin family.
If the emperor is not happy, why don't those ministers who are like human beings follow suit? This is a call for everyone in the world to open fire on the Lin family.
…
After Sanlang, there are the Holy Scholars. Most of the Holy Scholars have a good position, some are officials in the capital, and some are sent to various states to serve as sixth-rank counselors, all of which are lucrative positions.
"Li Xiaotian, a holy Jinshi, serves as counselor of Zhongzhou and is in the sixth rank."
Li Xiaotian knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have a request, and I hope your Majesty will grant it."
"My dear, please tell me."
Li Xiaotian said: "I voluntarily go to the Northern Dragon City to take up a military position."
Everyone was shocked. You were appointed to a military position? You are a counselor at the state level, but you are appointed to a military position? Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your mind? You need to know that, let alone a counselor, even a seventh-grade civil servant will not be able to serve in the military.
They are on an equal footing with the generals. Even if you serve as General of Dragon City, you are only a fourth-grade military general. The real status of a fourth-grade military general is only equivalent to that of a seventh-grade civil servant. And you cannot become a general as soon as you go.
This is equivalent to lowering yourself by two or three levels.
His Majesty pondered for a moment: "Why does my beloved have to hold a military position?"
Li Xiaotian said: "Da Yu's ambition towards Da Cang Langzi is known to both the government and the public. I have great aspirations as a young man. I will fight bloody battles in this life to protect my family and country."
"You are a true man in protecting your family and country!" His Majesty said: "Since you have this ambition, I am very pleased. I will grant your request and appoint Li Xiaotian as the general of Longcheng!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
General of Longcheng, second in command of Longcheng, a fourth-grade military rank.
…
"Sage Jinshi Lin Jialiang, appointed magistrate of Sanping County in Luzhou, seventh rank!"
Lin Jialiang's head jumped. Sanping County Magistrate of Luzhou. Luzhou happened to be the gateway to the southwest, behind the battlefield where the demons fought. It was a typical barren mountainous area with countless refugees. The Sanping County Magistrate, the former magistrate sent by the imperial court had just been there.
He died in a border town, and he didn't even know who killed him.
Therefore, everyone was afraid that the county magistrate would fall on them, but now, it happened to fall on Lin Jialiang. Moreover, everyone in front of Lin Jialiang was a sixth-grade person, but when it came to him, it became a seventh-grade.
Even the sixth grade is omitted.
Lin Jialiang knelt down: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
Like his brother, he never said a word.
Next, the job closure continues...
Zhao Yuanxiong, the last Shengjinshi, served as a seventh-rank official in the household department! The household department was the money bag, and the seventh-rank official in the household department would look down upon him even if he was a second-rank magistrate.
Later, they were awarded Jinshi. Zhang Haoran, Huo Qi, and Li Yang Xindu stayed in Beijing and served in the six ministries, seventh to eighth ranks. Zeng Shigui was the magistrate of Beichuan County in Zhongzhou, which was naturally thousands of miles away from Beijing.
…
All the titles were completed and the Jinshi Banquet officially began.
The lower officials of the court were listed for the Jinshi seats, and Lin Su was still the first among the Jinshi. Today may be his last glory.
But Lin Su didn't take it seriously at all and faced everyone with a smile on his face. However, he didn't say anything to his tablemates.
Although the official position of the third overall winner is lower than him, he is so proud and proud at the moment that he doesn't take him seriously at all, because everyone knows that the glory of the number one scholar can only be today.
After today, he is nothing. This chapter has been completed!
