After these three months, Lin Yanchao passed his internship period and became a formal Ming official, and he was appointed as a court official to thank him for his gratitude.

From then on, Lin Yanchao was a prefect of the court, and every three, six, and nine were required to attend the court.

On that day, Lin Yanchao was sitting in the Hanlin Academy, but officials from the Ministry of Rites came.

"The top scholar, this is your ritual of court."

Lin Yanchao said in surprise: "Is this?"

An official from the Ministry of Rites explained with a smile: "This is a brown cover, a court rule, and is allowed to be used by the fourth rank and above. This is a big gold fan, used to cover the horse, a court rule, and is allowed to be used by the third rank and above. This is a tin spear, steel and rattan stick, a court rule, and officials above third rank and above can use it to open a stick in front of the horse."

Lin Yanchao said: "But I am only from the sixth grade! This does not match my identity."

An official from the Ministry of Rites smiled and said, "The top scholar has nothing to do with him. The emperor is generous and good at the senior level. Therefore, the top scholar is the same as the Jingzhao Yin. Except for the inability to use a sedan chair, the rest are comparable to the Jingzhao Yin!"

Jingzhao Yin is the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, a senior official of the third rank. That is, Lin Yanchao can use the Lu Book of the third rank official, which is so majestic!

After hearing about it, several Hanlin people came to congratulate them together.

Zeng Chaojie smiled and said to Lin Yanchao: "Zonghai, this is the rule. The chariot cannot be surpassed by hundreds of officials. Officials under the third rank cannot use sedan chairs, so you cannot prepare sedan chairs."

Xu Xianqing smiled and said, "Yes, Zong Hai, you use the third-rank official's ruling book, and when you travel, you will salute you."

After hearing Xiao Liangyou's words, several Hanlin congratulated Lin Yanchao.

Lin Yanchao said: "I feel that this is too much."

Xu Xianqing, Zeng Chaojie and others all advised: "This is given by the emperor, and the top scholars are like this. It is in line with the etiquette system, so how can you talk too much?"

"Even if the censor saw it halfway through, he would not say a word."

Lin Yanchao was a little happy to see everyone saying this. The official’s broth is your face and style. If you have any questions, you can drive a Ferrari to go out to buy some vegetables?

Lin Yanchao thanked the officials of the Ministry of Rites, received the set of rubbish books, and then returned home.

Chen Jichuan and Zhan Ming were also very happy to see the Lupu used in the third grade.

Zhan Ming said: "Master, this person holds a big gold fan, a brown cover, and a person who opens a stick in front of your horse requires at least ten people. We don't have enough people!"

Chen Jichuan said: "What's the matter? With the current status of the master, he would have to hire people. That's so grand."

Lin Yanchao waved his hand and said, "I always feel that this is inappropriate."

At this moment, Huang Fengxiang came to visit. Lin Yanchao was overjoyed and asked Chen Jichuan to serve tea and meet Huang Fengxiang in the hall.

Today, Huang Fengxiang was a daily lecturer, so he did not sit in the Hanlin Academy.

Lin Yanchao immediately asked Huang Fengxiang for advice about the Lupu. Huang Fengxiang smiled and said, "It's because of this. It's also a common practice for the top scholar to travel with Jingzhao Yin Lupu. Brother, you are too cautious."

After hearing Huang Fengxiang say this, Lin Yanchao breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Fengxiang said: "Although you can't sit in a sedan chair, you can use a carriage, which is not as bad as a sedan chair. It's just to fill the show. I'm afraid you need some people."

Lin Yanchao smiled, and at this moment he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother Huang, can you tell me what is the Lu Book of Bachelor of Guang?"

Huang Fengxiang said: "You are talking about Mr. Chen. The imperial court values ​​Hanlin Bachelor. Although Mr. Guang is only a fifth rank, he can be listed at the end of the third rank during the court. Therefore, he uses a third rank official. He covers the brown cover and has a large gold fan. The follower can hold a tin spear and a steel vine stick in front of the horse."

Speaking of this, Huang Fengxiang changed his tone and said, "But Mr. Chen has always been low-key. Although he used the Lu Book of the third-rank official, the Lu Book of the same qualifying as the fourth-rank official."

Lin Yanchao felt a stern in his heart and asked, "Brother Feng Ming, is it like this for Bachelor of Guang alone, or is it like this for Bachelor of Guang in the past?"

Huang Fengxiang said: "In the past, Hanlin Bachelors used the third-grade lorry book, but only Bachelors Guang was like this."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself, that's not OK. As the top scholar, he can use the third-rank official to get a third-rank official, but his leader can use the third-rank official, but in fact, he uses the fourth-rank official’s official’s official.

What's this?

Now, the leader drives Chery at work, and as a subordinate, you drive Ferrari.

Isn't this a scam?

I met on the road. Should you get off the car and avoid the sedan chair, or do you get off the car and avoid the sedan chair?

Lin Yanchao thought that he had almost made a big mistake, so he said to Huang Fengxiang: "What kind of rubbish book does the sixth-rank and seventh-rank historian in the review hall use to travel?"

Huang Fengxiang said: "Our sixth and seventh rank ci ministers use black fans and yellow thread umbrellas, and the zodiac drivers can use silver melons."

Lin Yanchao nodded after hearing this.

It was sunny in the morning and the sky was not dawn.

On the chessboard street outside the Daming Gate of Zhengyangmen, sedan chairs and carriages come from all directions.

On this day, Lin Yanchao abandoned the Ministry of Rites and sent the third-rank official's ritual book, and went to court with the sixth-rank official's ritual book.

While going to court, I inevitably encountered carriages and sedan chairs of other officials who attended court.

According to the Ming Dynasty laws, two officials met on the road, avoiding horses from one rank, and kneeling from third rank.

In other words, when two officials meet, they must be treated according to their official positions.

Among all the officials, the Cabinet Grand Secretary is undoubtedly at the peak of the food chain.

The ministers of the cabinet are known as prime ministers, and they are polite to all officials. All the ministers of all major and small will be escaping. When the cabinet ministers are most powerful, even if they meet with the first-rank ministers, they still need to be escaping. Among the officials, only the Minister of Personnel, among the six ministers, can fight in court in terms of etiquette.

But this is not absolute. For example, when Zhang Juzheng and Yan Song were the chief assistant, the Minister of Personnel must dismount and avoid them when they saw these people.

In history, Sun Piyang was the Minister of Personnel and happened to meet Zhang Wei, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, on the side of the road. In order to show his politeness, Sun Piyang got off the sedan chair and bowed beside the road. Zhang Wei sat in the sedan chair and covered his face with a fan. When he saw it, he pretended not to see Yang Chang and left.

So Sun Piyang became angry and tried his best to fight Zhang's position during his tenure, which led to a disagreement between the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Pavilion.

This is the cause of not getting off the horse and avoiding sedan chair.

After the cabinet master finished speaking, he went to the Minister of Personnel. The nine ministers and Hanlin officials made way to stop the horse. The rest of the officials of all sizes or kneel down. Even if the officials of the Ministry of Justice are so awesome, they must kneel down to their kneel honestly.

From this we can see that as a dignified Hanlin, you only need to avoid the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Minister of Personnel. As for other officials who meet on the road, you can just bow your hands from afar and be considered as having all your courtesy.

So Lin Yanchao rode the carriage and headed to the Imperial City smoothly.

I didn't meet the sedan chair of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Minister of Personnel on the way. It was also during the peak hours of work that the sedan chair of the cabinet and the master of the Ministry of Personnel would not appear, otherwise the officials would avoid sedan chairs along the way, so that people would not leave this way.

So, the Ge Lao and the Dazai usually go to court early or late.

The only thing I met Yu Youding's sedan chair, Lin Yanchao got off the carriage and avoided the road.

Although I have only the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites, the other party is Lin Yanchao's young master and a senior of the Hanlin Academy. He must be etiquette anyway. (To be continued.)
