Chapter 919 The champion (1)

Chapter 919: Top scorer is released (1)

Zhong Jian is indeed the highest appointed person among the people.

After finally passing the palace examination, he was treated like this?

These Jinshi didn't dare to say it, but how could they not feel wronged in their hearts?

Not to mention the tribute scholars in various colleges, even those students who passed the examination in the palace all had higher ranks than them. Moreover, many of them were in the right place!

In this way, maybe they won even higher official positions if they don’t come to participate in the palace examination!

Many Jinshi looked at Zhong Jian vaguely.

When they thought about it, Zhong Jian was undoubtedly the one who felt most dissatisfied in their hearts.

How could the "new top scorer..." in the past be so neglected?

Zhao Dongting, Lu Xiufu and others were smiling on their faces, as if they were waiting for these Jinshi to speak.

What disappointed the Jinshi was that Zhong Jian just stood respectfully among the crowd and did not mean to speak actively.

He didn't say anything, so the Jinshi also hesitated.

You can make suggestions for the sake of official positions. But what if this makes the emperor unhappy?

Zhao Dongting suddenly spoke, "You are all talented people in the country, but you have obtained official positions but are slightly inferior to those tribute students. Isn't there anything you want to say?"

After all, there was a Jinshi who couldn't help it. He looked up at Zhao Dongting and was about to speak.

At this time, Zhong Jian spoke first and said, "Go back to the emperor, we have nothing to say. Zhong Jian thanked the emperor for his kindness!"

Zhao Dongting found it interesting, "Oh? Don't you feel uncomfortable? Why?"

Zhong Jian looked up at Zhao Dongting, "The emperor really wants Zhong Jian to say it bluntly?"

"It's okay to just say it."

Zhao Dongting waved his hand with great pleasure, but he also wanted to hear what Zhong Jian thought.

Zhong Jian fell to the ground and said loudly: "The Emperor asked all the Jinshis to join the government offices as deputy positions. Zhong Jian dared to be brave. The Emperor should be deliberately trying to temper us, and also give me the opportunity to learn from all the adults in the court. Since the Emperor implemented the retirement system, many officials in the court have approached and reached the retirement age. The Emperor arranged us to serve on Jinghu South Road, which should be the intention of pursuing us. If we can contribute to the court and the country in their respective positions, Zhong Jian dared to say frankly that at that time, the Emperor should promise us high officials and generous salaries."

All the Jinshi were slightly shocked and looked complicated.

They were all nervous about what official positions they would get, but they did not pay as much attention as Zhong Jian. The emperor arranged all of them to serve on Jinghu South Road.

The Emperor's Palace is now in Changsha, and the special nature of the Jinghu South Road is not comparable to other roads.

"Ha ha!"

Zhao Dongting suddenly laughed out loud, "You are very clear-minded, not vulgar!"

Then his eyes glanced at the Jinshi and said, "Zhong Jian said nothing wrong. I know you are great talents, and I do have the intention of comparing you. When I took over the government, I was able to develop the Song Dynasty to this point today after hardships. If you want to pass the palace examination, you will become a dragon and phoenix among people. There may be an example in various prefectures. I don't care about giving you some small places to you and letting you show your skills. However, since you have passed the palace examination, you are the top talent in our Song Dynasty. I have high hopes for you to take up a deputy position and learn from you, but I don't want to see you hit you and make your head blow."

He gently pressed the table with his right finger, "It is indeed as Zhong Jian said, if you can pass my assessment and show your skills in their respective positions, I will be happy to let you stand high and show your ambitions and talents. However, if you do not make any contribution to the country in your respective positions, you will be waiting to be sent to a small place! The court is now full of youth, but what I need is an official who can do things and do practical things."

"certainly……"

Speaking of this, Zhao Dongting suddenly changed his voice, "If you don't have confidence in yourself, you can also come up with it here. I can send you to the local area as appropriate, and I think the official position will not be lower than now."

After saying that, he smiled and looked at the many Jinshis again.

The Jinshi each started to ponder.

Undoubtedly, if they have to take the initiative to ask for a local position, they will get higher official positions. However, the emperor's meaning is also very obvious, and it will not be easy for them to be promoted to the core position of the court in the future.

Do you want to shine your ancestors now?

Or should I seek the opportunity to become a magistrate in the future?

Many people are thinking secretly in their hearts.

The ages of this class of Jinshi vary greatly. The oldest is over forty, and the youngest is only eighteen. Their ideas are naturally different.

"Your Majesty, Caomin wants to go to the local area to serve."

"emperor……"

In the end, more than ten people fell to the ground and asked Zhao Dongting to go to the local area to work. These people, as expected, were all older students.

They probably feel that they have no chance to get close to the center in their lives.

Perhaps, being able to serve as the head of a certain department in the local area is the best choice. They are not like those young Jinshi, and they still have a lot of time to climb up.

Zhao Dongting did not show any strange looks, and obviously he was mentally prepared for this.

Officials under the fifth rank must retire to the second line at the age of fifty and retire at the age of fifty. How many years can these older Jinshis have to survive in their deputy positions?

Even himself, he really hopes that these older Jinshi will come to work in the local area.

They are still a bit real and knowledgeable. When they become chief officials in the local area, they should be able to achieve more facts than those selected by the local area.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Dongting looked at Lu Xiufu and said, "State order, then arrange all these Jinshi to serve locally. See if there are any vacancies in various local departments, we will try to arrange them to serve as a full-time position."

He had no choice, either.

After all, there is still a shortage of talents, but there are still many gaps in the official staffing of the Song Dynasty. It is also a mentality of directly assigning these Jinshis to bet.

However, after saying that, Zhao Dongting still looked at the Jinshi who took the initiative to ask for a job in the local area and said, "I support you when you go to the local area. But you must also remember that what I give you is not an iron rice bowl. This imperial examination will be held every year, and countless talents will emerge in the court. If you fail to contribute to the people and the country in the local area, I will demote your officials lightly, and even dismiss your officials. At that time, don't blame me."

All the Jinshis showed a solemn look, "We will remember it."

"Um……"

Seeing this, Zhao Dongting nodded slightly and said to Lu Xiufu and others: "Then you all bring them back! Within two months, let them work in their respective government offices."
