Chapter 213: Missing?

Will be the supervisor is responsible for the ancient palace, temple, mausoleum and other public civil construction institutions, and lead a hundred workers, the supervisor is the chief official, Cheng is a subordinate official, the Song Dynasty Cheng as a virtual position awarded to the new champion, in order to show grace, although the will be Cheng only from the eight rank rank, after all, it is a Beijing official, to the local post then become a symbol of status.

The Jinshi of the Song Dynasty, although they stood out from the tens of thousands of scholars, the title of the gold list, can be described as the pride of the people, but Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin did not think so, just now the official position awarded to the Jinshi was very low, where is the first champion of the list, it is just to give some small officials from the nine grades such as the secretary book, send them to serve in various places, and if you are lucky, you may be promoted, if there is no chance, then the life will only end here.

In the period of Taizong of the Song Dynasty, for the Jinshi began to pay attention to the beginning of the dynasty and the annotation, to give a particularly generous example, the first and second class Jinshi and the nine scriptures will be the supervisor, Dali Judge, the general judgment of the states, the same Jinshi and the subjects and sent to the Ministry of Officials to be exempted from the selection of the first junior ministry, the judgment of the secretary of the lieutenant.

The two dynasties of Taizong Zhenzong took this as an example, and gave very preferential treatment to the new branch of Jinshi, but due to the fact that there were too many scholars and too many people were employed, when it came to the Renzong Dynasty, the phenomenon of redundant officials began to be serious, and the imperial court had to change the strategy of taking scholars, so the fourth and fifth Jinshi and those who were born in various disciplines could only obediently report to the Ministry of Officials and participate in the selection examination.

The consequences of this, naturally some Jinshi are a little dissatisfied, but they are stronger than others, and they can only accept the results, while the other part of the Jinshi feel very reasonable, after all, they enjoy this glorious treatment, which is earned by real talent and real learning, you must know that scarcity is expensive, and the same applies to the awarding of officials, the fewer people who can enjoy such treatment, the more people who enjoy such treatment feel honored, especially when they heard the second sentence of the inner servant, everyone present cast envious eyes to Feng Jing.

"The first and second place, Qiantang Shen Yu, is a Dali judge and a general judge of Jiangning Mansion."

Dali commentatory, rank from the eight, only one level difference than will be a grade, but this level of difference, but shows the court's kindness to the champion, although the official position of the Song Dynasty is divided into nine grades, but each rank has a positive subordinate division, is from the rank and up and down the difference, very complicated, as long as there are some slight differences, that means that the treatment enjoyed is not the same, and awarded the post of Dali commentator, then it is more prominent the honor of the champion identity.

"I really envy Brother Wentong, it's not wrong for the provincial relatives to go to work." Feng Jing chuckled and said to Shen Yu next to him, the ancient Jiangning Mansion is in the modern Nanjing location, and Qiantang is located in Hangzhou, and the two places are very close.

"When the world brother is not like this, Jiangxia is in Jingnan, and it won't take much time." Shen Yu said with a smile.

In ancient times, in order to prevent the place from sitting big, strengthen the centralization of power, the officials implemented the avoidance system of being officials in different places, from the Han Dynasty to the present, this system has been very perfect, sometimes even in the neighboring places as officials, and Feng Jing and Shen Yu have such treatment, which can be regarded as a kind of grace of the imperial court for the champions.

"The first and third place, Changzhou Qian Gongfu, gave Dali a review, and passed the judgment of Yuezhou."

Changzhou Yuezhou is thousands of miles apart, Qian Gongfu was a little disappointed, and then cheered up his spirits, in the future, he will officially become an official, as long as he works hard, where is the difference of thousands of miles, he will definitely make achievements, to make his hometown parents proud of themselves, want to open, Qian Gongfu smiled brightly, and congratulated the same year around him.

Compared with the relaxation of the top list, the other Jinshi were much nervous, the fourth, fifth, sixth, and soon to the ninth, all of them were awarded the post of Dali Judge, but the dispatch was different, or a certain state judge, or a certain government magistrate, some people because the dispatch was in line with their intentions "showing" a smile, and some people were frowning because of this.

But Chu Zhen doesn't have the leisure to pay attention to the mood of the same year now, the ninth Jinshi has been awarded an official position, so it will be his turn next, I am really looking forward to it, Chu Zhen held his breath and concentrated, feeling his heart pounding, like a "chaotic" drum, more and more urgent.

It seemed that the chamberlain intended to oppose Chu Qian, and at the moment when he was looking forward to it, the chamberlain suddenly closed his mouth, as if he had spoken too much and his cheeks were tired, so he had to rest for a while before he could continue to recite the list.

Although it was only a short period of more than 20 seconds, Chu Zhen felt that the time was extraordinarily long, and it seemed to be still, and finally saw the waiter clear his throat again, Chu Zhen didn't care about emotion, paid close attention to the waiter's lips, concentrated all his mind, and listened carefully to what the waiter was about to read.

"Second first, first place." The voice of the chamberlain was still so loud, but the jinshi below was a little in an uproar.

"What's the matter, it seems that Jing Chun was missing." As Chu Zhen's friend, Feng Jing couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and said "confused" and "confused": "Could it be that I have lost my eyes." ”

"Do you want to come up and ask for clarification?" Shen Yu said softly, and he also felt that things were a little strange.

It seems that he didn't pay attention to the movements of the Jinshi below, the inner servant still held the holy decree high, and recited it very seriously, seeing this situation, the Jinshi who had doubts couldn't care so much, and listened to what official position he was given before talking about anything else.

"When the decree is announced, do not disturb it." After thinking about it for a moment, Feng Jing shook his head and said, "After he finishes reading the holy decree, he will come forward and ask for advice." ”

Time passed minute by minute, the boiling blood slowly cooled out, Chu Zhen felt a little bad in his heart, but he still had a glimmer of hope, perhaps, maybe the inner servant who announced the decree really missed it, Chu Zhen comforted himself so much, but his face was very bad, until he heard that Teng Maoshi was going to Wanhu County, a certain prefecture in Jingnan, to serve as a county magistrate, he barely squeezed out a congratulatory smile.

Half an hour later, the chamberlain finally finished reading the official position that the last Jinshi of the third class was conferred, and began the closing remarks, which is nothing more than to show that the emperor's grace is "dang", and everyone must not forget, and in the future, they should always think about their kindness, and it is best to repay it with their bodies.

"All the officials will retire, and they will go to the official department to get the official seal documents on the same day, and then they can set off for their posts." The chamberlain shouted loudly, his voice a little hoarse, and it became more and more harsh.

"Your Majesty, thank you." No matter what the mood was, they were not satisfied with the official position conferred, but everyone still did not forget to bow and thank the Chongzheng Palace, even if it was an empty door.

Seeing that everyone was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, a trace of approval flashed in the eyes of the waiter, nodded slightly, the holy decree was read out, and he didn't have anything to do, and was about to return to the Chongzheng Hall to report to the emperor, but Feng Jing and a few people stopped him, and the other Jinshi naturally understood what was going on, and they didn't leave in a hurry, they stopped to pay attention, and the protagonist of this matter, Chu Qian, stood expressionless not far away, and didn't seem to have the intention of coming forward to listen.

"Okate, please wait a moment." Feng Jing said politely: "There is something unclear below, and I want to ask Dage to solve my confusion." ”

"What's the matter? Master Feng said bluntly. The envoy said with a smile, although the relationship between the eunuchs in the palace and the ministers of the court is not very harmonious, but it has not reached the point where water and fire are incompatible, and anyone can see that the champion Feng Jing has a great future in the future, and the chamberlain naturally has to give some face.

"Maybe I was too excited in my heart just now, and I didn't notice what official position Chu Jinshi was given to the first and tenth place, and I want to bother the big pavilion to repeat it again, I don't know if it's okay." Feng Jing said softly.

"First and tenth." The waiter's face was a little weird, he glanced at Chu Zhen not far away, and sighed slightly: "To disappoint Feng Zhuangyuan, there is no name of Chu Jinshi in the holy decree given by His Majesty. ”

As expected, Chu Zhen vaguely heard this, and felt bitter in his heart, at such an important moment, the messenger must be a hundred times more serious than usual, how could there be a low-level mistake of looking away.

"How so?" Everyone looked at each other, "confused" and "confused", of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon, as for whether anyone is secretly gloating in their hearts, it is unknown.

"Could it be that he was able to enter high school, he got it by cheating, and now he has been exposed, so." Some black-bellied people began to speculate, but they didn't dare to say it, and could only be "lewd" in their hearts.

With all kinds of thoughts, some people think badly, and naturally some people sigh with envy: "This time Jingchun is going to be lucky." ”

"Why?" Others are "confused" and "confused".

"Can't you see it? Those of us who gave officials and conferred positions were all sent to various places as officials, and only Jing Chun was outside of it, so special, the imperial court must be reused, maybe directly stay in the capital. ”

"It's really possible." Many people felt that it made sense and nodded in agreement.

"Alas, whoever asked someone to have an uncle who is the chief official of the Inquisitor's Court, it is simply easy to find a vacancy in Beijing to fill the position at will." There was a sour taste in the envious tone.

"Jing Chun." Feng Jing and the others came to Chu Zhen's side, opening their mouths to speak, but they didn't know how to comfort them.

After calming down, Chu Zhen showed a smile and said, "I'm fine, but I forgot to say hello to you, how about it, when are you going to leave for work, you can't miss the feast." ”

Knowing that Chu Zhen was forcing a smile, Feng Jing and the others were also interested in not breaking it, but laughing and talking with them, this is the matter, in the palace ban, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, under the gift of the guards, everyone slowly walked outside the palace.

Walking out of the Xuande Gate, looking back at the majestic and magnificent palace, Chu Zhen was extremely depressed in his heart, although he was nervous when he came, but he was also full of spring breeze, if he wanted to return with loss, it was really this time and that time, and several families were happy and sad alone.

When saying goodbye to his friends, Chu Zhen still didn't figure out whether he was negligent to the emperor's ministers, or was directly ignored by others, in comparison, Chu Zhen felt that the possibility of negligence was too small, after all, he was still somewhat famous, and his palace examination results were also among the best, so he could be neglected, and the officials in charge of this matter could go home directly to retire.

Excluding the first possibility, there is only one answer left, he has been ignored, but the problem is that he has been keeping to himself for a while now, no, it should be said that he has always been in peace and has not done anything out of the ordinary, and the court has no reason to treat himself like this, "rubbing" his dizzy head, Chu Zhen went home in frustration to seek comfort.
