The doctor of the Wenxuan Department is named Wang Zhoushao, who was a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing. His tutor is Li Chunfang. Generally speaking, it is unlikely that his turn would be the doctor of the Wenxuan Department, but he is actually relatively impartial.
He was a man who was highly appreciated by Emperor Mu Zong. After the Shujishi disbanded, Gao Gong appointed him as the head of the Examination Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Later he was promoted to Yuanwailang. After Guo Pu succeeded Gao Gong, he further became the Examination Secretary.
In the past year, he made another adjustment and became a doctor in the literary selection department. He was very successful for a while, but now when he met Gao Pragmatic and the other three, he didn't have the airs of talent.
It turns out that Wang Zhoushao is from Huayin, Shaanxi. His hometown is only separated from Zhang Siwei’s hometown of Puzhou by the Yellow River. He and Gao Pragmatic, Zhang’s nephew from Puzhou, can be regarded as half of the same hometown. So when Wang Zhoushao saw Gao Pragmatic, he enthusiastically said: "I heard that
The No. 1 scholar won the championship with six titles. We and other Beibang officials are all very proud! To be honest with the No. 1 scholar, many Beibang officials want to get closer to the No. 1 scholar. How about I hold a banquet at Wanglong Tower to celebrate the No. 1 scholar some other day?
, I wonder if the number one scholar is willing to reward me?"
Gao pragmatically knew that after becoming an official, such entertainment was inevitable. In the past, most of these things were not his turn, but now it would be rude not to go. Although he did not need to borrow money from the official department, his peers still needed it - he could not do anything.
Everything is handled through the teacher Guo Pu. He is a teacher, not an official.
Besides, Wang Langzhong said that "many Beibang officials" wanted to see him, which must have meaning. As Gao Pragmatic himself was born in Beibang, of course he had to agree.
So Gao pragmatic agreed, and Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan were also invited. However, Wang Tingzhuan could agree because he and the prince were both from Shaanxi, but Xiao Liangyou had to politely decline.
Yes - he is from Huguang, so it would be inappropriate to join a group of Beibang officials.
After that, the three of them registered their official certificates and resumes and received their official uniforms.
The official uniforms of officials are divided into court uniforms, public uniforms, ordinary uniforms, official uniforms, and official uniforms. They have different functions, but the most commonly worn are official uniforms and ordinary uniforms.
The so-called public uniforms are those worn when going to court. Those who are above the fourth rank are considered to be high-ranking officials among the approximately 20,000 officials in the Ming Dynasty.
Ranks 5 to 7 serve the Qing Dynasty, while those of the 8th and 9th ranks serve the Qing Dynasty. Gao Jingshi once specially served the Qing Dynasty before, but after resigning, he had no choice but to wear it. But now he is working as a compilator for the Hanlin Academy. This official is
From the sixth grade, one wears a green robe with a tunic collar, embellished with small miscellaneous flowers, and a black horn leather belt, which is regarded as wearing green again.
The regular clothes are worn when sitting in the office on weekdays. They are shaped like a green robe like a tuan-collar shirt. The edges of the clothes are embroidered with four-clawed dragons and pythons in gold, and the patches are embroidered with egrets. As for the poems written by Xiao Liangyou and Wang Ting
The official uniform is exactly the same as Gao Pragmatic's, but the regular uniform is different. There is no four-clawed dragon python on the edge of the clothes, and the embroidery on the patch is the imperial edict of Xixi.
The gold embroidery of the four-clawed dragon and python on the official robe is for officials of sixth rank and above, but not for officials of seventh rank and below.
In fact, Gao Jingshi has a bright red silk flying fish suit given by the emperor, which he does not have to return after resigning. Theoretically, he can still wear it, but it would be too flamboyant, so he will definitely not wear it again at the moment.
Before leaving, Wang Zhoushao politely said to the three of them: "When the three of you are free in the future, you might as well come to me to drink tea and chat more often. I am looking forward to having more interactions with Sanding Jia."
Looking at the row of officials waiting to be received by Wang Zhoushao outside, the three of them knew that these were polite words and should not be taken seriously. Even if Wang Langzhong was really interested in chatting, probably only Gao Pragmatic would be the only one, but they still said politely: " Thank you Quan Cao."
After coming out of the Ministry of Personnel, the three of them were considered to be appointed officials. After complimenting and joking with each other, they went to Shangbaosi to receive the official tooth plaque.
Official dental plaques were always only available to Beijing officials. They were issued through the palace ban during court visits. However, Gao Jingshi had a dental plaque at that time. It was specially made by the late Emperor Longqing. It was a silver medal because Gao was young at the time. , the silver medal is not easily damaged, and it has already been returned to the palace.
Nowadays, Gao pragmatism's dental plaque is the common format. It has a moire pattern engraved on the upper part, and the three characters "Hanlin Yuan" in regular script are engraved horizontally on the front, which refers to Gao pragmatism's service in the yamen, and the two characters "Xiuzhuan" in regular script are engraved vertically. The title of a high-pragmatic official position has a unified format on the back, with the twenty-six characters engraved on it: "The official of the court carries this card. Those who do not have the card will be punished according to the law. The borrower and the person who borrowed it will be guilty the same, and they will not be used when leaving the capital."
Because it is an ordinary dental plaque, it is relatively easy to damage. Therefore, the officials during the imperial court would hang the dental plaque on the left waist and then wrap it in a bag. They cherish it very much. Thinking back, it was still the same piece of silver that I had back then. It is more convenient to make dental plaques...
After the three of them received their official uniforms and dental plaques, it was time to report to the Hanlin Academy. However, according to the rules they had heard before, the three of them could not go together this time. As the number one scholar, Gao Pragmatic should be the first to go.
The Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Civil Affairs are located on East Chang'an Street, two blocks away, next to the Yuhe River and the Imperial City, and next door is the Siyi Pavilion. He has actually been an official in the Hanlin Academy for nearly ten years, but unfortunately he has not been here very often. Never been promoted...
Gao pragmatic returned home and put on his regular clothes, that is, the blue official robe with four-clawed dragon and python gold embroidery, a heron patch, a black gauze hat on his head, looked at himself in the mirror, and joked to himself: "I have been working for ten years, and I am working again." Back to Qingpao."
From now on, you will have to wear this when sitting in the Yamen court. As for the dental plaque, you don't need it except when going to court, but you should wear it all the time. If it is lost, the damage will be severely punished. Gao Pragmatically wraps it in a bag and ties it on the left side. The leather belt around the waist.
Putting on this official robe that he was admitted to, Gao Pragmatic is no longer the close minister of the prince who relied on the care of his uncle. He cultivates himself, manages the family, governs the country, and brings peace to the world. Now he can be considered successful in cultivating himself and regulating the family. , began to take the step of governing the country.
However, this idea is also hypocritical. Although he did not "run the country" before Gao Mou, but if you think about it carefully, the impact on things is really not small.
On the day when an official takes office, there is a lot of red tape. Gao pragmatically sent someone to inform him before he arrived at the hospital. When he arrived at the hospital, editor Zeng Chaojie came out to greet him and served as the leading officer. When they met, Zeng Chaojie nodded to Gao pragmatically in a friendly manner.
Zeng Chaojie was the number one scholar in the fifth year of Wanli. This is different from the original history. The reason is that Shen Maoxue, the number one scholar in that year in history, was a disciple of Xinxue. Gao Gong was still there in the fifth year of Wanli. How could Shen Maoxue be allowed to do this? Number one scholar? And the second place on the list was historically Zhang Sixiu, the son of Zhang Juzheng, and now he is Song Xiyao - this is the Hui Yuan chosen by Zhang Siwei, but after the palace examination, the place was changed to second place, but Zhang Sixiu still won the 213th place with the same Jinshi name.
Gao Pingshi entered the courtyard gate. He first entered the right corridor and surrounded the gate to the Saint's Shrine to offer incense and bow four times to the Holy Master. Then he went to Changli Temple to offer incense and bow two bows. The Changli Temple was dedicated to none other than " Han Yu, the leader of the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties", Changli was Han Yu's hometown.
It is interesting to say that in the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Hanlin Academy all had Changli Temples. Although Han Yu never entered the Hanlin Academy in his life, his articles were respected as models by the Hanlin Academy of the Ming Dynasty.
After worshiping the two temples, go out to the right corridor and enter through the Dengying Gate. Behind the Dengying Gate is the inner hall, which faces south and has a width of five couplets. The west of the hall is the lecture hall and the east of the hall is the review hall.
The Lecture and Reading Hall is the sixth-ranking attendant, the public servant who sits in the hall, and the Hanlin attendant. The attendant is called a lecturer. Some people enter the imperial palace, and are responsible for the emperor's scripture banquet. As for the review hall, it is also known as The Review and Inspection Hall is composed of editors from the sixth rank, editors from the seventh rank, and the public servants who sit in the review hall from the seventh rank. They are also commonly known as historians.
Zeng Chaojie led Gao Jingshi and three others to the Procuratorate Hall, and the subordinate officials in the Procuratorate Hall went to the hall to pay their respects.
The subordinate officials are also divided into three, six or nine grades. The first person to see is the official, that is, the official on duty, who has the highest status among the officials.
Today is the day when Master Hanlin's new official takes office. All the officials in the hall who are on duty or not are coming to pay homage.
Gao pragmatically sat on the public seat, and the six of them saluted together: "Meet the master of editing."
Then the four-bow ceremony is performed for high-ranking officials. Next to the officials are the postal officials, which are the clerks of the yamen, and they also perform the four-bow ceremony. The third is the court class, which is the servants in the hall who still perform the four-bow ceremony. Ceremony. The last one is the door servant, who has the lowest status and is not even as good as an official. He kowtows.
On the left side of the entrance to the review hall is the historian's seat, and on the right side is the place where classics and historical books are stored, as well as the staff room. There are about twenty more public cases in the hall, and this is where the officials work. , to the west is the koan written by the official.
Gao Pragmatic's koan was on the sixth page in the second row. He walked to his seat and sat down. He first gave the seal to the official for safekeeping, and then took it out when the seal was needed. There were four treasures of the study on the koan, but it was an office open to all sides. environment.
Gao Jingshi had been in the Hanlin Academy for almost ten years, but he had never been to this office. He thought that now that he was an official Hanlin official, he should be able to have a small private room to work. Only after he arrived did he realize that he If you think too much, let alone a private office, there is not even a partition. The office environment is not as good as the white-collar workers of later generations.
Then Zeng Chaojie led a class member to talk to Gao Pingshi: "Gao Xiuzhuan, all the officials in this court are served by a clerk. This person is quite diligent. According to the instructions of the head of the court, he has been transferred to you. .”
After finishing speaking, Zeng Chaojie looked at the official and said with a serious face: "This is the new number one scholar. He is the sixth number one scholar who has been hand-picked by Long Live Yubi as 'the real leader for two hundred years'. Being able to follow him will make you cultivate for many lifetimes." You need to take care of the blessings that have come to you carefully, and do not be rude when doing things. If there is any mistake, it will be taken care of according to the hospital rules!"
The classmate hurriedly bowed down and said: "The eldest master is here, I don't dare. I, Liu He, pays homage to the eldest master who is the champion."
Gao Pingshi took a closer look at him and felt that this person seemed to be quite honest in appearance, and nodded slightly in his heart. From now on, this person would be considered his full-time secretary, serving him tea and water.
However, officials have never looked down on these officials, so they were pragmatic and did not pretend to be close to the people. This only lowered their status, so they said nonsense like "You must be sincere in your work" with a straight face.
Liu He looked like he was obeying his orders, and then Zeng Chaojie winked at Gao Jingshi. Gao Jingshi took half a tael of silver from his sleeve and rewarded Liu He. Liu He also didn't expect Gao Jingshi to be so generous. After taking the money,
He looked very grateful.
Zeng nodded towards Node, motioning Liu He to retreat, and then smiled and said to Gao Pingshi: "I'll see you in a moment. I heard that I have an errand for you."
Gao Pragmatic was a little surprised. I had just arrived and I already had errands?
