Chapter 344 The beauty of adults
After hearing what Yang Hao said, Lu Yicheng's eyes were also shining in Lin Yanchao's eyes.`
Of course, the power of the Minister of Personnel is not only that, in addition to controlling the promotion of officials, there is also a plan to investigate the capital every six years.
However, Lin Yanchao did not care at all! As a Hanlin official, he was like opening the halo of exemption from being exempted from Beijing inspection, political observation, and assessment! The Hanlin Academy has its own system and has little connection with the other six ministries, which is also the uniqueness of the Ming system.
Who are the officials of the Hanlin Academy closest to? The third one is the emperor, the Eastern Palace, and the eunuch.
However, the Minister of Personnel is different from other Jinshis, and almost possesses the power of life and death. Therefore, many Jinshis are thinking in their hearts how to go forward and talk to Wang Guoguang and win their eyes.
However, everyone thought so, but no one went up now, because in full view of everyone, although everyone had this intention, they could not bear to face it. Anyway, after the banquet began, they would have the opportunity to toast the officials, so it would not be too late to show it to the officials of the Ministry of Personnel.
After a while, the Jinshi, officials, and several bigwigs who came to the Enrong Banquet all came together.
During the palace examination, the officials who read the papers, the envoy of the Luanyi Guard, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Rites, and the officials who received the papers, were enfeoffed, collected the heads, supervised the test, and the guards, filled out the list, printed the papers, and provided the papers, and praised the officials.
However, among the ten officials who read the examination papers in the palace, Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei were all absent. Only one Shen Shixing came. As for the six ministers, only the Minister of Personnel Wang Guoguang, Minister of Rites Pan Sheng, and Minister of War Zeng Shengwu, the other three were also absent.
According to the officials attending the banquet, the Jinshi ranked in the seats.
Shen Shixing was the chairman, three ministers, ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of Rites, and the Luanyi Guard envoy was also one seat. As for the officers under the escort, there were two seats.
As for the Jinshi, Lin Yanchao, the top scholar, Lin Yanchao, and the second-ranked Xiao Liangyou, Tanhua and Zhang Maoxiu, and the rest of the Jinshi were all four. On each seat, the wine was served by four, and the fried food was served by four. The treasure makeup, tea food, fruits were served by five, soft wine, four colors of vegetables, three kinds of soup. Two-sized large steamed buns were served by two.
The format of the Enrong Banquet is similar to that of the Luming Banquet and the Hairpin Flower Banquet. It is a set of drinking gifts in the countryside, but the level of the participants is higher.`
The music started on the table.
Shen Shixing first congratulated the new Jinshi, expressing his congratulations to the Jinshi. In the future, everyone will become officials in the court. Then the general meaning of the poem is that you will become an official in the future, and the superior will be loyal to the emperor and the inferior will love the people.
There have been scenes throughout the ages, but everyone listened very seriously.
At the end, Shen Shixing improvised a poem written by Li Dongyang at the Enrong Banquet.
The team dances with flowers and hairpins and drinks frequently, and the Qing Dynasty events and Jiachen. The stars are under the Shangshu's shoes during the day, and the wind is sunny and the Jinshi scarf is suitable. The Han dynasty is surrounded and the battle is three days ago. The Tang tree is nine times rejuvenated. The old general's head is still white. He still offered advice back then.
Everyone nodded. Li Dongyang's poem is indeed good.
After Shen Shixing said that Lin Yanchao was the top scholar and had to stand up to answer the words on behalf of the Jinshi.
Lin Yanchao stood up from the table and came to Shen Shixing. The two bowed to each other three times, and then Shen Shixing returned to the table.
The freshly opened apricot blossom wine in the banquet hall has a fragrant smell.
Lin Yanchao looked up and looked up at the officials sitting on the table and the new Jinshi. It seemed that at the graduation ceremony at school, the student representatives expressed their feelings about when they were about to enter the workplace before leaving school.
Lin Yanchao's voice is aloud and chanting, serving the king, is the foundation of loyalty. It is established and transformed into a tomb of ministers with the king, which can be said to be one...
The voice echoed in the banquet hall. With the words and sentences of Lin Yanchao, the thoughts of the Jinshi sitting below flew far away, with a little excitement and sadness in his heart.
However, for Lin Yanchao, his feeling at this moment is that he is very proud of being a representative of the 300 Jinshi.
Below, Lin Yanchao gave a toast to Shen Shi instead of the Jinshi. Lin Yanchao was always calm and his every move was in accordance with etiquette. Even the officials of Honglu Temple could not find any fault, and the rest of the officials nodded frequently.
The ceremony is completed, and the following is the free time for everyone.
Lin Yanchao returned to the table and started dining. This was a banquet prepared by Guanglu Temple!
Before Lin Yanchao had picked up a few chopsticks and had not yet passed the three rounds of wine, he saw all the Jinshi raise their glasses and leave the table to toast the officials in the hall.`
In addition to Shen Shixing, Yu Youding, all the Jinshi gathered in front of Wang Guoguang, the Minister of Personnel, toast. They must have wanted to leave a good impression in front of the other side so that they can be assigned to a good department when observing politics, and the evaluation after observing politics can be given a high score to compete for the qualification to stay in Beijing.
The same year, they were planning for the future, and they didn't care about what to eat at the Enrong Banquet.
What a pity for this table of wine and food. This is the most glorious moment when Jinshi was second only to the Imperial Street Promotional Officials.
Among the toasts of the Jinshi, Lin Yanchao could see that the Jinshi who had just stepped into the officialdom could not help but lack confidence and lose their composure when facing a big boss like Wang Guoguang. When toasting, some Jinshi wanted to say something flattering, but they tried too much. When a famous Jinshi flattered, they even said it as good as the East China Sea and the South China Mountain.
The few people had too many signs of flattery, and they turned out to be foolish. Some of them also used some tricks to attract the attention of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and even suppressed others to elevate themselves.
Such a flattering look made many officials shake their heads frequently, and Lin Shibi and others on the side kept sneering.
Lin Yanchao also lamented that these people were too short-sighted. These 300 Jinshis toasted one by one. It would be great that Wang Guoguang could match your people with his name. Who could remember that you were very capable and had a good job?
As a heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel, he is very busy, so he will not care about the status of a young Jinshi.
Lin Yanchao continued to eat food. At this time, he felt someone pulling his sleeves beside him. He turned to look, but he saw that it was Lu Yicheng.
Lu Yicheng asked with a nervous look on his face: "Zonghai, have you toasted Dazai later?"
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Of course I'm going."
You may not be flattering, but you do not mean that you can offend it. Toasting is nothing, but toasting is nothing. If you don’t toast, it will be miserable if you remember it.
Lu Yicheng immediately asked begging: "Zonghai, can you take me with me later? I dare not go there alone."
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "It's great. I'm a little tired. It's good to have someone by my side."
Lu Yicheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, thank you Zonghai."
Lin Yanchao raised his glass and walked towards Wang Guoguangna, but heard laughter from nearby.
When several Jinshi from the family of the officials toasted with Wang Guoguang, they chatted and laughed, and they were not at all afraid because the other party was a member of the Ministry of Personnel.
Lin Yanchao looked like he was the first in the second place, Dong Sicheng, the grandson of the former Minister of Rites Dong Fen.
Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sigh that compared with poor children like Lu Yicheng, Dong Sicheng's three generations of officials had an innate advantage. Since childhood, he followed his grandfather and saw that high-ranking officials were prominent. Even when facing senior officials like the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel, he was not frightened and could still tell a few jokes.
Dong Fen was once the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, while Wang Guoguang was the head of the Ministry of Personnel and was once the subordinate of Dong Fen.
Wang Guoguang greeted Dong Sicheng with his grandfather, that is, his boss was in good health. During the period, he talked about the old things that happened to the two when they were in the Ministry of Personnel, and the two were having a happy conversation.
Dong Sicheng was completely polite to Wang Guoguang, and was very close. After seeing this, the other Jinshi couldn't help but think that "even if we flatter ten thousand words, we wouldn't mention his grandfather."
When Wang Guoguang was talking to Dong Sicheng, he turned his head and saw Lin Yanchao standing aside, waiting quietly.
Wang Guoguang smiled and said, "Isn't this the top scholar who is ranked third in the three Yuan?"
Lin Yanchao immediately stepped forward and said, "Yes, the official is here to toast Dazai."
"How dare!" Wang Guoguang was about to get up from the table when he heard this.
Lin Yanchao hurriedly grabbed the two steps: "Why should the lower official dare to help Dazai get up?"
Seeing this, Wang Guoguang smiled and said, "The top scholar is too polite." After that, he sat back on the table.
Lin Yanchao immediately gave Wang Guoguang a pot of wine and said something about Fulu Kangshou.
As for the promotion, I won’t mention it. As the Minister of Personnel, he is already at the peak of his ministers. Where can you come from? Are you planning to rebel and usurp the throne? Wang Guoguang is promoted to another level and is a Grand Secretary, but Wang Guoguang is not from a Hanlin family, so he has no chance to enter the cabinet.
Wang Guoguang was very satisfied with Lin Yanchao and said some encouragement.
At this time, Dong Sicheng on the side said: "The priest of the emperor is very talented. The poems he wrote during the Jin Palace today can be famous all over the world. Now it is time for this feast of grace, so it is better to leave another poem to open our eyes."
Dong Sicheng said this, and the Jinshi on the side applauded. Wang Guoguang also nodded.
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Brother Dong is so proud of me. Today I am just a rising work. However, this brother of my fellow countryman is quick-witted and even more talented. How can he write this kind and feast poem?"
When Lu Yicheng heard Lin Yanchao say this, he was immediately surprised. Lin Yanchao pushed the opportunity to show himself in front of the Minister of Personnel.
Wang Guoguang couldn't help but gaze. The other Jinshi also understood and couldn't help but praise Lin Yanchao's actions. Lin Yanchao is now in the Three Yuan Dynasty. Today, Wen Kui, even if he writes a good poem, he will not add much to his fame. Now he is the beauty of becoming an adult and the virtue of a gentleman.
At that moment, Wang Guoguang and everyone looked at Lu Yicheng together.
Lu Yicheng suddenly became nervous and thought for a moment in his mind, and then said, "I can't be arrogant when singing the list of Donghua, and I will be willing to go to the Kingdom of China from now on. Don't go ahead and leave this original intention to try the path."
"good."
When everyone saw Lu Yicheng write a poem that suits the rhythm in the hall, they nodded.
Wang Guoguang smiled and said, "I'm really a skilled person."
Wang Guoguang said this to praise Lu Yicheng for his quick response and wrote such a poem in the classroom.
When Lu Yicheng received the praise from the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel, his body trembled with excitement, and he tried hard to remain calm and said, "Thank you for the praise of Dazai."
Seeing Lu Yicheng's nervous look, Wang Guoguang couldn't help but smile: "A real simple person."
Later, Lin Yanchao and Lu Yicheng dismissed together. (To be continued.)
