Chapter 208: The Insider
According to the rules of the imperial examination of the Great Song Dynasty, the first and third champions are the top and the first honor, and a number of people in the second class are from the Jinshi, which is also a symbol of academic excellence. A number of people in the top three are called Tongjinshi origins. The top three jinshi are all in high school, but they are different in their careers.
For example, three people in the first class and some people with higher rankings in the second class will directly enter the Hanlin Academy as editors and bachelors as officials in the Qing Dynasty, as a reserve and experience for important civil servant positions in the future. Or enter the yamen of the two prefectures as officials and accumulate experience. It is almost certain that these people are candidates for future important officials in the DPRK and China, and they will be promoted first whenever the opportunity arises. Others may not be able to stay in the capital, but they can also serve as local governors. The imperial court stipulated that the second-class jinshi could start their career directly from the position of the local county commander.
The number of Jinshi who have won the top three is much lower, and unless there are more vacancies of court officials, they have the opportunity to directly confer officials. Otherwise, they will need to wait for a vacancy before they can be ordained. But this is actually nothing, once the imperial examination is high, it is already an official body, and the salary is a lot, so there is no need to worry about it at all. Moreover, there have been many official vacancies in the imperial court in recent years, and it almost does not take too long to wait for vacancies. Not to mention, everything is man-made, if you find a good way and take refuge in a good backer, the chances are even more and better than the first and second class jinshi. Although there are some differences, the development of the future career depends on the means and struggles of each person.
Of course, career is very important. Those coveted yamen, such as the political hall, such as the Privy Council, such as those important official positions that can be close to the emperor are popular. If you enter these yamen as officials, you will have a few more steps than others, and you will have a better chance of being promoted.
It is conceivable that in the days before the imperial court conferred officials, the mansions of some officials of the imperial court must be crowded and lively. Walking through the back door, looking for a backer, and giving gifts are bound to emerge in endlessly.
In the evening, Fang Zi'an received an invitation to go to Qingyuan to meet the king of Pu'an County and Shi Hao. When they arrived in the back hall of Qingyuan, Zhao Ying Shi Hao and Qin Xiqing were chatting, and when they saw Fang Zi'an coming in, the three of them stood up with smiles on their faces.
"Tanhualang is here, and he is disappointed." Qin Xiqing smiled mischievously.
Fang Zi'an hurriedly said, "Don't call it that, I don't even know how this Tanhua came about." The article on my temple exam was a mess. β
Shi Hao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's rare that you have self-knowledge and know that the articles of your palace examination are average." However, Tanhualang does not necessarily need to write a good strategy for the palace examination. β
Fang Zi'an heard what he said, and guessed that they must have done something from it. When you bow one by one, sit down and narrate.
Zhao Ying was in a good mood, and after sitting down, he smiled and said, "Zi'an, I really didn't disappoint this king, I was a little discouraged by you, but you still gave this king a surprise after all." Although the policy essay of the palace examination is written in general, but the king of the Zhongxing Five Treatises of your Chunqiu has read it, and his insights are quite profound, his words are sincere, and his suggestions are also
Quite deeply. The king was very impressed. With that article, you should be in high school as well. β
Fang Zi'an hurriedly said, "The prince praises falsely, and he is ashamed." β
Zhao Ying smiled: "But there are some things behind the scenes, you are afraid that you don't know." Do you know that you were almost deposed, and your Five Treatises on Zhongxing was seen by Qin Dang Wan Qiyu and Tang Siwei, and even if he was deposed. If it weren't for Mr. Shi seeing your article, arguing with them and almost picking a pick, I'm afraid you would have lost your name by now. β
Fang Zi'an looked at Shi Hao in astonishment and said, "Master Shi, there is really such a thing."
Shi Hao stroked his beard and smiled, "I didn't know that it was your article, and no one knew who it was after transcribing the answer sheet, so don't think that I am cheating for your personal gain." It's just that your essay is well written. It's just that your article is not to their liking, and they deliberately deprecated it, how can I let this happen"
Fang Zi was relieved and secretly said that he was lucky. The little bit of arrogance in my heart is gone. It turned out that his fate was reversed by Shi Hao. If Shi Hao hadn't seen his own essay, he would have really fallen off the list.
"Thank you, Master Shi, whether intentionally or not, you saved my career. No wonder I was surprised when I asked you to recite that piece of paper that day. It turns out that you only found out that it was my answer sheet at that time. Fang Zi'an stood up and said with a long bow.
"yes, I only found out about it that day. Isn't all this providential, hahaha. I fancy this essay that you wrote. Shi Hao said with a smile.
"It's really a providence in the dark, and you and Zi'an have a lot of fate. I'm afraid it's not a husband and wife in a previous life. Hahaha. Zhao Jin, who was in a happy mood, made a frivolous joke.
Shi Hao rolled his eyes, and Fang Zi'an also pursed his lips, a little embarrassed.
Qin Xiqing smiled on the side and said, "Zi'an, how did you come to explore flowers, do you want to know?"
Fang Zi'an perked up and said busily, "Yes, yes, I just want to ask what's going on." Lord Shi, this must be your doing. β
Shi Hao waved his hand and smiled: "This matter has nothing to do with me. Your essay isn't very good, but it's not too bad. How to say that some of your articles are very good, and some of them are very ordinary, and they look like patchwork articles, and the writing is not smooth and coherent. You seem to know a lot about science, and you have written something new. For example, what you wrote about the imperial court should not be excessive, only open up the wisdom of the people and should not imprison the mind in the name of the promotion of science, and especially propose to allow the theory of science to be argued, and to distinguish the principle of the right path in the debate, so that a hundred flowers should bloom and a hundred schools of thought should contend. And so on, all of which are inspiring, as if after some deep thinking and foresight. These views were somewhat applauded by some of the readers. However, the whole article is not deep and smooth enough. β
Fang Zi'an admired it, Shi Hao has real skills, and his articles are written by patchwork, like patches pasted together, which he can see. And just now he said that he seemed to have foreseen, which shows his strong understanding. Fang Zi'an knew that after the rise of science in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xihe
Lu Jiuyuan and other physicists put forward a series of ideological views, although there are many shining points, but the sediment is overflowing, and many dross in later generations have started from this time. The article that Fang Zi'an borrowed was written by later generations, and it pointed out these dross, so it is manifested in the article as an afterthought. After Fang Zi'an cut some fragments, what appeared seemed to be a predictive judgment. Even this point was discovered by Shi Hao.
"Ashamed, ashamed." Fang Zi'an had nothing to say except to be ashamed.
"There is still merit in the article, especially in terms of depth beyond many people. So, your article is in the top 10. However, the matter of Zhongtanhua was done by the prince. Shi Hao said with a smile.
Fang Zi'an looked at Zhao Ying suspiciously, and Zhao Ying smiled and said, "It was done by this king." Originally, the first three were to be appointed by the emperor, but Qin Hui was so shameless that he wanted to point his grandson Qin Tan's article as the first champion, how could this king allow him to do this. The emperor asked me and Qin Hui to accompany him to review the top three, and Qin Hui ordered three people, all of whom were his protΓ©gΓ©s. He thought I didn't know that. How can I agree that I originally knew which one your article was, I just wanted you to be in the second grade, and I didn't want to fight him. But he went too far. So I picked out Zhang Xiaoxiang and your answer sheets to show my father. It was difficult for my father to make a choice, so I suggested that it would be better to call these people to answer the question in person, so that it would be easier to make a choice. Qin Hui is obviously weak-hearted, Qin Tan's article is very well written, but the better it is written, the more it shows that there is something greasy in it, and if he answers in front of the emperor, he will inevitably be exposed. The old thief finally chose to compromise, saying that it was unruly to do this, and finally after compromising with me, he ordered Zhang Xiaoxiang first, Qin Tan second, and you third. The emperor saw that I had the same opinion as him, so he agreed. β
Zhao Ying said it simply, but Fang Zi'an was full of doubts when he heard it. Zhao Gou called Qin Hui and Zhao Ying to assist him in making a decision, which didn't seem necessary. Zhao Gou can't even see the quality of the article, it's impossible. And he asked Qin Hui and Zhao Ying to help rank second together, which seemed to have a deep meaning. The result of the compromise between the two in the end seems to be the result that Zhao Gou is willing to see, so this is the result. It's a little strange how you look at the whole thing, and I can only say that my ability to get into the flower seems to be the result of a compromise. But in this way, Fang Zi was a little uneasy in his peace of mind. Zhao Ying did it so obviously, that is, to tell Qin Hui that he was actually his person.
"Thank you, Lord Wang, I originally picked up this Tanhua, hahaha. Well deserved. Fang Zi'an said with a smile.
"Don't care about these things, Tanhua is just a name. Zi'an, you will soon be conferred an official, and you will officially join the office. The prince wants you to go to the Hanlin Academy for editing, you see how this official position seems to have no real power, but it is clear, and you can often see the emperor. Maybe you can get the emperor's love, which will be a great help to big things. What do you think," Shi Hao asked with a smile.
Fang Zi'an smiled and said, "Zi'an doesn't have any opinions, naturally everything is subject to the arrangements of the prince and Lord Shi." As long as it is beneficial to the prince's affairs, I can hold any official position. β
Zhao Ying nodded and said, "That's a good point." This king has high hopes for you, and you will help me well, and the future is immeasurable. β
