1.59 million empty alleys (two in one)(1/2)
Walking out of Chang'an Gate, the Jinshi Emperor List was posted on the palace wall on the left by the Luanyi Guard.
As the imperial list slowly spread out, the names of Jinshi were vividly revealed on the paper. When many new Jinshi saw this scene, they couldn't help but burst into tears again.
All the hard work in this life is the golden list title at this moment!
Chen Yichen glanced at the Golden List slightly. His name ranks first, and it is already conspicuous enough and there is no need to reminisce.
Shang Lu's palace examination ranking was also called by the Golden Palace, and he had already learned that the number one in the second place was "Chuanlu".
So what Chen Yichen wants to know most now is how Xiao Yi is ranked.
Although Chen Yichen does not agree with the civil servant group's practice of forming cliques for personal gain, he also understands that the rights of the officialdom are from the bottom up, and you do not have like-minded people, and even if you are in a high position, you may not be able to do anything.
Perfunctory, overbearing, procrastinating, and obscene to perseverance...
The following people have ten thousand ways to make the decrees only exist on paper and not take action.
Even the emperor is no exception!
For example, Emperor Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty, he was almost as poor as his pants. He wanted to collect some taxes to serve as military expenses on the Nine Borders, but after more than a dozen prime ministers, he could not collect money without any orders.
In the end, he could only give up his old face and cry for poverty. However, no one cares about the officials and powerful officials below, and he looks like sending beggars.
As a result, the finances collapsed, unable to support the army and maintain the operation of government departments. Faced with Li Zicheng's capture of the capital, he had to find a crooked tree in Coal Mountain and hang it, and the Ming Dynasty finally died.
Through this period of contact, Chen Yichen felt that Xiao Yi was a loyal, pure and innocent person, had no bad intentions, and did not pursue glory, wealth, power and status, and could be a good friend.
If you enter the court in the future, you must find some reliable political alliances in the officialdom. Shang Lu, Xiao Yi and others are the candidates Chen Yichen is interested in.
To be honest, Chen Yichen was feeling a little sad and mocking at this moment. In a sense, he still took the same path as the civil servant group.
I just don’t know if today’s dragon-slaying boy will eventually become an evil dragon in the future.
After a quick glance at the imperial list, Xiao Yi is worthy of being the leader of the Five Classics in Shuntian’s provincial examination. His ranking is much higher than Chen Yichen’s prediction, ranking second in the palace examination and thirteenth.
This ranking will have some advantages in the Hanlin Academy's museum selection exam, increasing the chance of being admitted to the "Shujishi". Even if you take a step back and fail to pass the exam, the second-level senior high school will be given preferential treatment in awarding real officials. It is very likely that you will not be sent to become a Beijing official.
After looking at the imperial list, Chen Yichen led the Sandingjia into the colorful shed built by Shuntian Prefecture.
At this moment, Wang Xian, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, had been waiting for a long time. When Chen Yichen led the three tripod armors in, he picked up the wine glass on the red desk and said, "Congratulations to the top minister for three yuan. Our mansion to toast here. I hope the top minister will rise to the top minister in the future and serve the country with loyalty!"
The prefect of Shuntian was a third-rank official. He personally brought the wine glass to toast Chen Yichen. This treatment made the new Jinshi standing outside the shed envious.
"Master Xie Fuzun!"
Chen Yichen did not say anything humble, such as being ashamed of not being able to take it, but took the wine glass and drank it all in one go.
Because today's praise for officials in the Imperial Street, all my treatment is to "show the emperor's grace", so there is no saying that I can't afford it. Everything is worthy of treatment and respect.
After paying respect to Chen Yichen, the prefect of Shuntian gave the second place one by one, and Tanhua also gave a glass of wine. Then he picked up the hairpin from the red table and performed a flower arrangement ceremony for the top scholar. He also put on red silk on his chest.
Not until this point is over, a Shuntian Prefecture yamen runner brought the famous Pihualiu from behind. Wang Xian, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, took the reins from the yamen runner, raised his hand and signaled: "Please ask the top scholar to get on the horse, I will hold the reins for you!"
If toasting was a ritual process before and Chen Yichen deserved it, then now that the prefect of Shuntian is leading the horse is completely a step outside the process.
So Chen Yichen hurriedly bowed and said, "Mr. Master, I can't afford it if I was born in my later years."
Wang Xian was over 60 years old, and according to the average lifespan of the ancients, he was already considered an elder.
In addition, although he was at his age and entered the center of power, in fact, Wang Xian was a teacher, and he climbed from the bottom to the position of a third-rank official. He also taught the Minister of Revenue Zhang Rui, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Xue Xuan, and other senior officials, who are truly respected.
No matter from any point of view, Chen Yichen cannot be proud of himself and let him lead him.
"It's okay, today I am honored by the top scholar, and this mansion should do this."
Wang Xian, the prefect of Shuntian, did not think there was any problem at all. Chen Yichen was the third year of the year, and Kuixing appeared in the world, so he deserved this courtesy!
This scene was seen in the eyes of He Pingyan and Yang Hongze. His eyes were red. The third-rank senior official took the initiative to hold on to the reins. I am afraid that no top scholar in the history of the Ming Dynasty could receive this honor. Chen Yichen's treatment was too high.
Wang Xian didn't take it seriously, but Chen Yichen couldn't do this. If this scene was rumored to be so unrestrained and disrespectful to his elders in the future, then he would be the one who suffered the loss.
"The Lord of the House, I am a junior, and I really can't afford this gift."
Chen Yichen still couldn't hold on. Hu Yi, the Minister of Rites who was sent to the imperial list, saw this scene and his eyes were very deep.
To be honest, Hu Yi was already calm and was not surprised that he could not suppress Chen Yichen.
The arrangements for the imperial examination and the palace examination failed, which can only show one thing, that is, this son is not a thing in the pool, and this is destined to be like this.
But Hu Yi has little contact with Chen Yichen after all, and apart from knowing that the other party is very talented, he doesn’t know much about it.
Today, Chen Yichen and the prefect of Shuntian refused, which made him see the stability and the controversy. An 18-year-old boy who was in the world was not sought after by the outside world, but was not sought after by the outside world. He always kept his calm mind and did not make any moves beyond the rules.
Such stability is beyond the reach of ordinary people!
"Mr. Wang, don't make things difficult for young people. There is also a yamen runner who leads the horse."
The Hanlin attendant Zhou Xu walked over and said with a smile, which was to help Chen Yichen clear the siege.
After the provincial examination, Chen Yichen still visited Zhou Xu's mansion many times, and his attitude was not without the respect before the exam. Such behaviors have completely gained Zhou Xu's recognition, and he is regarded as his late-born junior.
Now Chen Yichen is the world, and there is no chance to talk at the ceremony of the Scriptures, so now you can come forward and say something.
"I met Lord Yutang after I was late."
Even the top scorer in high school, Chen Yichen still maintained the humble etiquette of his juniors when facing Zhou Xu.
"Then according to Lord Zhou, please ask the top scholar to get on the horse."
Zhou Xu's words also made Wang Xian realize that he was overly enthusiastic, so he stopped forcing him.
Soon a yamen runner came to Chen Yichen and helped him up on the tall horse. Yang Hongze and He Pingyan followed closely behind and sat on the horse together.
After the top scholar got on the horse, the ritual music began to sound, and the official title was at the forefront to guide the journey.
The plaque of boasting officials in the streets does not have the regular "avoidance" and "silent" plaque. On the contrary, the more people come to watch the ceremony, the better, and the more lively the better. Let the world feel the supreme glory of the top scholar, thus demonstrating the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty!
Official titles such as "new top scorer" and "successful three yuan" are enough to shock the world in any previous imperial examination.
However, Chen Yichen's official title sign in front of the Imperial Street boasts the only one in the world, with four big words "Liu Yuan Qiang" written on it.
This is to announce to the entire Ming Dynasty that Chen Yichen is not just three yuan, but also six poems!
With the sound of gongs and drums, almost all the people in the capital came to Shiliyu Street, preparing to see the new top scholar, which was so crowded.
Even the tall buildings on both sides of the Imperial Street were filled with women and ladies who were limited by etiquette and law and were inconvenient to show up.
They were filled with expectations through the curtains or leaning against the railings. One reason was that this grand occasion was only seen in three years. The other was that the rumor was that the new top scorer this year would be a handsome young man, which attracted countless women and ladies to the hearts of them.
Chen Yichen rode his horse on Chang'an Street, and the crowds of people came into view. The scene of the sea of people in front of the Imperial College that day was not worth mentioning compared to today!
Countless people were looking forward to maintaining order in their direction, and the officers, soldiers and yamen runners were desperately blocking the crowd and preventing the situation from getting out of control and blocking the imperial road where the top scholar marched.
But even so, it still seems a little overwhelmed.
"The 1st Yuan Duke is here, the 1st Yuan Duke is here!"
Someone shouted loudly, and then the thunderous cheering sound was deafening. Chen Yichen rode his horse on the imperial road, only seeing countless hands waving towards him, hoping to get some luck with Wenqu Star.
"The leader of the sixth yuan! I have lived for nearly eighty years and have never seen such an official title. Today is an eye-opener!"
"The three Yuan and six poems, the top scholar should be the role models of our scholars, and jointly create a prosperous literary style of the Great Ming Dynasty."
"What is the situation when the top scholar looks so young, and he doesn't have a jaw on his chin, what's going on?"
"You don't even know this? The first emperor is the famous Chen Yichen. The 18-year-old Da Kui is the world. Do you think you are young or not?"
"In this way, Wenqu Star will definitely help you and bless me with the Ming Dynasty forever!"
Of course, there was also a young man in the second grade who saw Chen Yichen's glorious appearance and said proudly: "He can be replaced!"
But when this is said, it has been rolled by others like a fool. Only one of the three Yuan and six thousand-year imperial examinations will be released. You can replace it!
Chen Yichen walked forward all the way, and seeing such a grand occasion, even if he had good concentration, he couldn't help himself at this time.
In the face of the upcoming official career, I have always been a little confused and confused. I don’t know if I can take the responsibility of the world, and I don’t know if I will be lost in power and wealth and forget my original intention.
Looking at these faces today, all their cheers and praises were all looking forward to a good official who could protect the people of the world and work in peace and prosperity?
Since that’s the case, what’s the point of being confused? Just go in this direction!
No matter how difficult and dangerous it is, even if there are tens of millions of people, I will go!
On a tall building next to Chang'an Street, the entire floor was booked by the ladies of the capital, looking forward to seeing the grand scene of the priest Gong Gong's praise of the officials on the street.
A young lady leaned against the windowsill and listened to the various cheering sounds coming from afar, saying with some difficulty: "Sisters, who do you think this palace examination will bring Da Kui to the world?"
As soon as he heard this, the room was full of interest immediately. Another young woman in pink clothes replied: "I heard that the officials of the court are optimistic about Mr. He Pingyan and Mr. He, and he has a high chance of winning the championship."
"Mr. He, is it the one who founded the Gongxing Society?"
"It's him."
Hearing this, another lady from the official family said with admiration: "I have seen Mr. He, who is handsome and talented. He is also very capable and courageous. He has won over the sons of the honorary officials of the capital and formed the Gongxing Society, and is also the leader."
"Many people say that he will be the next Yang Shiqi and Yang Yuanfu."
"Really? This Mr. He is so powerful?"
"Then I have to take a good look later. How talented he is."
In an instant, He Pingyan attracted the appreciation of the ladies present.
By the heart, He Pingyan's ability to be the best, as his nephew of the Minister of Personnel, has the ability to suppress the children of honor and relatives, form a communist society and serve as the head of the society, which also shows that his ability is online and is not surprising.
