Chapter 85: Gongshi (Part 1)

After the exam is completed

As the three thousand tester, it seems that he has put down a thousand pounds of burden, and he doesn't think much about it. He spends all day together in the imperial capital, even the same is true for the students who are serious and serious in their daily lives.

At this time, the Gongyuan no longer cared about them. The soldiers of the army were basically evacuated, leaving only fifty people to maintain order.

However, such a carnival is like a dying struggle. After all, getting a tribute exam is actually equivalent to getting a jinshi. After all, none of the tribute exams did not fail in the palace exam, but the emperor re-arranged the rankings, so there is no difference - out of the three thousand people, only less than 60 people were selected, how tragic?

This kind of test of 3,000 people, read papers on five days, and set a name and release the rankings on five days. Therefore, August 11th is the period for the release.

Not to mention that day, even by the seventy or eighty or ninety of August, everyone has been playing and absent-minded. In the early morning of August 11, everyone is silent, and the air is covered with tension, anxiety, and even fear. Among the three thousand people, only three hundred people can keep calm on the surface, but only thirty people can be truly calm on the surface.

As things came to an end, Zhu Mingyi, Zou Lixing, Li Rui, and Zheng Chengyi had to go.

Along the way, I saw a large number of juren rushing over.

No one spoke, but went up the road, not far from the Gongyuan, and saw some students returning along the way. They all looked depressed and listless, and they knew they had failed the exam at a glance.

Seeing this situation, except for Fang Xin, the other three people looked pale.

Fang Xin didn't say anything, and he could see that even Zheng Chengyi, who had always been magnanimous, held his fingers white, and he sighed in his heart. He was on the list and was famous all over the world. If he failed, what would he have to face the hope and waiting of his family and family?

No wonder they turned pale.

When we arrived at the gate of the Gongyuan, there was no such strict soldier company, only ten people and one team, but there were a few more officials at the door. Each of them would enter with a bronze medal, but the bronze medal was also taken back.

In the tribute court, there are four identical lists, so you can just choose one of them. Although there are only 3,000 juren, only 100 juren, and those who failed the exam have no face and will naturally go out. Therefore, Fang Xin and the other four chose the nearest east wall to look at it, and there were only 200 juren at that time.

There were not many people, and Fang Xin didn't need to squeeze in. He just glanced outside.

The list of tribute students is the same as the list of juren

Ten people on the first list, twenty people on the second list, and thirty people on the third list, Fang Xin swept the first, and then saw that Pei Xuzhou was the second. The others were very unfamiliar with them. Ten names were swept the time, but there was no him. Fang Xin felt a little nervous.

He felt that the article he wrote was the crystallization of a thousand-year-old sage, but he was not the first list? Fang Xin calmed down, ignored the curses and sighs of the disciples around him, and continued to look at the second list. At this glance, the first place was himself, Li Rui, Congjiang Mansion.

Fang Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at it again, but did not notice that there were the names of the other three people in the second list. When he swept to the third list, he finally saw Zheng Chengyi's name in the twenty-one.

After scanning for a while, there were still no names of Zhu Mingyi and Zou Lixing. I knew that the two of them had no tributes. However, it was already good that there were two tributes in Congjiang Mansion. Moreover, maybe there were still unfamiliar vocational scholars in Congjiang Mansion who were not familiar with them.

At present, I no longer look at the list and retreated.

After glanced at me, Zhu Mingyi and Zou Lixing were really pale as paper and could never see any demeanor again. In fact, they had read the list and knew that they had lost it, but they still didn't give up. They thought if they had missed it, and then looked carefully.

As for Zheng Chengyi, his eyes were just staring at his name in the 21st place on the third list, and his whole body was trembling, making people think he was sick!

But this is a very normal situation. Some people fainted as they watched, making the people in the yard busy.

At this moment, several officials from the tribute court shouted in front of the list: "Before the award, I have withdrawn from the tribute court, and have been awarded the tribute scholar, waiting to be summoned."

After being urged, Zhu Mingyi and Zou Lixingcai woke up in a daze and had to walk out. Fang Xin shook his head with a wry smile and comforted him: "Oh, the exam room has a fate. I was lucky enough to win, but I felt that my talent was limited and I was very ashamed. But the two great talents did not win. I think it was because of the shortage of fate, and I could win the fate next year."

Zhu Mingyi had already woken up at this time and said sadly: "Brother Li is talented, we all admire him. It is natural to win the tribute. But we, alas, should study hard for three years!"

Seeing that Zou Lixing had not woken up and looked dazed, Zhu Mingyi pulled him away. After all, the Gongyuan was already urging him.

After a while, all the people present were already tributes.

Zheng Chengyi woke up and sighed with great joy: "My brother, I didn't expect that we will eventually be able to pass the Jinshi today, and it would be a waste of my 20 years of hard work."

Fang Xin smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, you must calm your mind first, and you will soon pay a visit to the teacher. And tomorrow will be the palace examination. But if you have to maintain your spirit, you will definitely lose your etiquette in front of the palace."

The attendant is the chief examiner of the tribute examination. For the juren, whether he won the tribute or not is another turning point in his destiny. Three thousand juren and sixty people are on the list. What a glory is this?

In an era when we attach importance to the general etiquette, this kindness is like gratitude to parents, and righteousness is recreated. Therefore, once we get the most, the new tribute must be grateful to the teacher for life.

However, because the emperor felt that this relationship was too heavy, he immediately conducted the palace examination after the tribute examination, and did not allow Jinshi to be called a disciple of a certain teacher. Therefore, he was only allowed to meet in the tribute court at noon on the day of the election.

Sure enough, there was not much time to pass on the reception. Sixty new tributes were arranged in three groups according to their rankings, and they visited the teachers and reported their names one by one. The examiner also gave a few random instructions and gave silver medals on the spot. This silver medal was the certificate of entering the imperial city, paying the emperor, and attending the palace examination.

"Tomorrow, you will be in the palace and the general will give Shi Ce a lesson. After the palace examination, you will read the paper on the spot, and you will be named and released on the spot. The admissions are divided into three grades: first and third grades, first and second grades, second grades, second grades, second grades, second grades, second grades, thirty-seven grades, and same grades, you will know?" Xu Xiangqing, the Minister of Rites, and Du Zhao, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, met the tribute scholars at the same time.

"The students already understand." Everyone said on their knees and took over the silver medal.

After meeting, I ate Chinese food again. This meal is also called Xie Shi Noodle. In fact, it is a large noodles with some chopped green onion, and the tribute tribute thanks. After eating the noodles, they then quit. It took only a few minutes of time. This is to avoid suspicion according to the laws of the court. Of course, this relationship cannot be cut off. Now it is nothing more than a formality.

When Fang Xin was paying a visit, he was also observing these sixty people. As a result, he not only saw Pei Xuzhou, but also saw the two of them on their heads. They also had strange auras and were shocked. Among these people, there were many people with great energy, so he immediately remembered his names.

One person, Zhou Lihua, was 29 years old and was born into a family of officials, and another, 26 years old, Peng Hanzhi, was born into a family of civilians. Both of them have extremely noble appearances.

After quitting, Zheng Chengyicai smiled with emotion: "My good brother is ranked second, I think he was transferred from the seventh rank to the county magistrate. After three years, he immediately became the seventh rank county magistrate. Brother Yu doesn't know where to go!"

What he said was the rules. Generally speaking, the top scorer, second-tier and Tanhua, the three of them went directly to the Hanlin Academy and took official positions from the sixth and seventh ranks. Their job was very expensive, just to let these three people become familiar with the operation of the central government and the cabinet, and then they could be promoted to the cabinet to participate in political affairs. Although they were only at the fifth and sixth ranks, they had a lot of power and were called a small cabinet.

The two Jinshis, from the seventh rank, were usually placed in each county to become county magistrates.

The county magistrate is the adjutant of a county and is the assistant of the county magistrate. It is higher than any other official in the county. In theory, you can ask about the affairs of a county. The following are the county magistrates and the county magistrates each have their own full-time duties.

However, in fact, since the county magistrate's status is higher than that of the magistrate and the magistrate, as usual, in order to avoid suspicion (so as not to avoid the county magistrate feeling suspicious of seizing power), he does not make any decision on official business.

Then all official documents can be read and anything can be participated in, but generally they do not speak, they just sign according to the rules when signing.

Of course, the imperial court knew about this situation, so the Jinshi was placed in this position, so that these scholars who became officials as soon as they came in could understand the operation of the county government and the rules of the officialdom. Moreover, since they were not responsible, they would not make any mistakes. The Ministry of Personnel's evaluation was generally good, so they could be transferred to a regular position in three years and go to another county to become a magistrate. Therefore, the local magistrate was very polite and did not dare to regard them as subordinates.

As for the Jinshi on the third list, there are two possibilities: one is to be a Shujishi in Hanlin. The problem is that there are too many Shujishi. Although they are noble, they are relatively slow to promote.

Another possibility is that it is to be directly transferred to the county as the main lieutenant, and the starting point is relatively low, and because of lack of experience, it is easy to make mistakes when taking real jobs from the beginning, which is also a major risk.

That's why Zheng Chengyi feels this emotion.

Fang Xin said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, no matter what, we have always won the tribute scholars. The following are all rankings. Even if we are sent to the county, as long as we do things carefully, we will have a day of promotion. Compared with other people, we are already much faster than others. Why should we worry now? If we don't have to go to the palace to meet the saint tomorrow, otherwise, what's the point of getting drunk with Brother Zheng today?"

After hearing this, Zheng Chengyi immediately smiled and said, "That's right, I'm pretentious."
