Chapter 249: Royal Street boasting officials, arresting son-in-law under the list
(Please subscribe again later)
"...On April 8, the year of Xinwei, we planned to test the world's tributes. Three people were selected for the first class. The first class was awarded the sixth rank, the second and third class were awarded the seventh rank, and the Jinshi and second class were awarded. Fifty-seven people will be chosen, and they will be awarded the seventh rank, and they will be born as Jinshi. The third one will be chosen 242, and they will be awarded the eighth rank, and they will be born as Jinshi."
The edict announced by the Minister of Honglu Temple was extremely loud and reached the ears of every Jinshi present.
After the edict was announced, the new scholars leaned over and thanked the emperor for his kindness.
But this time, almost everyone was a little distracted. Everyone subconsciously held their breath and raised their heads to look upward.
Qin Hui, the chief reader, went up a few steps and stood on the platform between the two sections of Danqi. He picked up the imperial list and turned to face the southeast. He turned sideways to the group of Jinshi below and glanced at them.
The scholars could almost hear their own heartbeats, some clenched their fists nervously, some had sweaty palms...
Qin Hui said loudly in a solemn tone: "Zhuge Liang came first in Xinweike's imperial examination!"
At this moment, the Qianyang Palace Square was extremely quiet, but all the Jinshi's eyes had been looking at the back of the figure in the front.
"Zhuge Liang came first in the Xinwei Ke Palace Examination!" The roll call officer of Honglu Temple shouted loudly two steps below the platform where Qin Hui was.
"Zhuge Liang came first in Xinweike's imperial examination!"
"Zhuge Liang came first in Xinweike's imperial examination!"
One step at a time, one step at a time, and did not stop until it was sung three times. The loud voice echoed in the sky above the Qianyang Palace Square, and even faintly came out of the imperial city, attracting the side glances of passers-by outside.
There was not much surprise or surprise on Zhuge Liang's face, he just looked up from a distance with a bit of emotion.
"Master Zhuangyuan, please!" An official from Honglu Temple came over and smiled and extended his hand.
"Thank you, sir."
Under the guidance of this official, under the envious, eager and jealous eyes of a group of Jinshi, Zhuge Liang stepped forward to Danbi's first step and saluted and thanked him.
Li Qian smiled and looked at him from afar. According to the rules, he didn't need to say anything else.
Qin Hui continued to read out the imperial list: "Bao Zheng, first and second in Xin Weike's imperial examination!"
The officials from Honglu Temple below immediately sang along: "Bao Zheng came first and second in Xinweike's palace examination!"
Only the No. 1 scholar was called three times, and the other two in the first class were called only once.
Under the eager eyes of the Jinshi, Bao Zheng walked out of the queue with a dark face and moved forward slowly. Others could not see any joy or anger from his face.
"Wang Hua ranked first and third in Xinweike's imperial examination!" Qin Hui continued to announce.
The officials from Honglu Temple below followed closely and sang the name again.
Wang Hua, with a bit of excitement on his face, quickly stepped forward.
At this point, the first-class Jinshi has finished reading, and the faces of the other Jinshi in the front row inevitably showed a trace of disappointment.
"Zheng Guan, who won the first place in the second class of Xin Weike's imperial examination, and other sixty-nine people!"
This is treated differently. The number one pick is called three times, while the number two and number two are called only once.
When it comes to the second class, except Chuan He has a name, everyone else is summed up by the same word, and the same is true for the third class.
"Liu Qingqiu, who won the first place in the third class of Xin Weike's imperial examination, and 731 others!"
At this point, the new scholars leaned over again to express their gratitude, and then announced that the ceremony was over.
Li Qian was the last to arrive and the first to leave.
His carriage was slowly backed up by the eunuchs, while Li Qian himself looked at the hundreds of officials and Jinshi who were getting smaller and smaller, and fell into a state of confusion.
He arranged the rankings of the imperial examination in this way, which was also very particular.
The position of No. 1 Scholar was left to Zhuge Liang because Li Qian wanted some blind people to give up as soon as possible to avoid causing any more trouble.
The second spot on the list was given to Bao Zheng because Li Qian wanted to reuse him as soon as possible.
There are not many ghosts and monsters in the court now. Every day when Li Qian was reviewing memorials, he was extremely tired by what those people did.
In this case, having only one Wei Zheng seems a bit weak.
If Bao Zheng can grow up as soon as possible, it will surely make the atmosphere in the court more upright.
The third flower was given to Wang Hua because the third flower can also enter the Hanlin Academy and be promoted quickly.
Li Qian was not only greedy for Wang Hua, but also for his son.
But a person's growth will also be affected by many factors. What Li Qian has to do is try not to change Wang Yangming's growth environment and rhythm... Well, when the time is right in the future, he will be sent to the Dragon Field to realize Taoism.
In addition, Chuanlu, the second-class leader, was the only one left who could be awarded an official immediately. Li Qian gave it to Zheng Guan.
Because of his rather out-of-the-box personality, if he were asked to become a Shujishi and learn all those messy rules honestly, he might not be able to sit still at all.
It would be better to give him an official position directly and let him use his own personal experience to learn the messy things in officialdom.
Anyway, with Li Qian watching and the Zheng family in Xingyang taking care of him, nothing will happen to him at all.
Yan Zhenqing was someone who could sit still. Before the exam started, he was stimulated by Bao Zheng and made an appointment with Zheng Guan to review their books at home to prepare for the exam.
Zheng Guan ran out every few days, but Yan Zhenqing kept calm and reviewed the scriptures at his residence without leaving the house.
Although he fell into the trap of Shujishi this time, Li Qian would not treat him badly. After spending these three years in the Hanlin Academy, he would naturally be put in a more important position, and he would not be worse than Zheng Guan.
As for those people at the back... Although their articles are only one in a million, some are even higher than the top five.
But there is no other way. Who asked Li Qian to help his relatives or not?
The emperor drove back to Qianyang Palace, but for the new scholars, the carnival had just begun.
At the same time that the Jin Palace passed the ceremony, officials took the golden list and posted it in the capital. A group of new scholars came out of the palace first, while the civil and military officials followed behind them, looking at the Sanding Armor in the middle of a group of Jinshi from a distance. .
The reason why you adults are willing to serve as foils this time is because of the next scene.
The imperial court has clearly stipulated that after the ceremony in the Golden Palace, Sanding Jia leaves the palace through the middle gate.
The middle gate here refers to the middle gate of Chengtian Gate. Only the emperor can pass through this gate on weekdays, and no one else can enter or exit.
But today, Sanding Jia can walk through this door and leave the palace from here.
The new scholars envied them, and even many officials looked at the three of them with a bit of envy.
There is no way, I haven’t walked through it!
Zhuge Liang walked in the middle, and the other two people were half a step behind him. The three of them were all wearing the dark blue robes of Jinshi, walking on the white marble royal road, entering the middle gate, and walking between the red palace walls.
At this time, other Jinshi and officials had to go to the left and right to guard the house.
After passing through Chengtian Gate, the two sides met again. Although others didn't know what Sanding Jia was thinking, looking at the expressions on their faces, it was obvious that the three of them were not at peace.
After the introduction is completed, it is time to praise the officials in the streets.
A golden dragon flagpole stands upright, with a red and yellow list hanging on it. This is the ranking of Jinshi's Jinshi. And it is different from the gold list posted outside. This is the one Qin Hui held just now.
Wang Mang, the Minister of Rites, was standing in front, waiting for the three of them.
"Meet the eldest uncle." The three of them saluted in unison.
"No need to be polite."
Wang Mang was also smiling today, stroking his beard like a steel needle and saying: "Today I will send you to mount your horse!"
While they were talking, the magistrates of Jingzhao Yin Wangjin and Yongshou and Xing'an counties came here holding a horse.
During this period, eunuchs came here to help the three of them wear red ribbons and embroider them.
"Master Zhuangyuan, please."
Wang Mang smiled and was about to pull Zhuge Liang onto his horse. Zhuge Liang also knew that this was a regulation of the imperial court, so he did not refuse, but instead cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zong."
With that said, with the help of Wang Mang, he climbed onto the tall horse that was all white and without a trace of color.
Jingzhao Yin Wang Jinze personally held the reins of the horse, and he smiled particularly joyfully today, like a happy Buddha... no, Maitreya Buddha.
Then the other two people also got on the horse, and the three parent officials in the capital personally led the horse and went to the streets to praise the officials.
There was a long guard at the front, and then two rows of golden-armored guards lined up. Two officers and soldiers held the colorful flags of "New No. 1 Scholar", which is standard for every No. 1 scholar.
But in front of Zhuge Liang, there is a colorful flag of "Three Yuan Ji Di", which is unique to him.
The other two only have Bangyanqi and Tanhuaqi.
Behind them were more than 800 new scholars. They did not have horses to ride on, so they could only walk behind them on their legs.
The long guard of honor left Hanguangmen and arrived at Zhuquemen Street, which was already deserted and crowded with people.
The Royal Street to praise officials only happens once every three years, and is even rarer than His Majesty's travels. The people in the capital all want to see the imperial court's new champion.
The crowd along the road was divided to the left and right, and there were officers and soldiers setting up checkpoints to maintain order and prevent these people from rushing to the front.
But even so, it still cannot extinguish the enthusiasm of the people.
Waves of cheers came from the crowd, and someone even prepared a basket of flower petals and scattered them into the air.
For a time, five colors of spring breeze drifted, enchanting the eyes.
Zhuge Liang and Wang Hua are both extremely charming middle-aged men with long beards, gentle and elegant.
