At the end of March, it was the late spring season. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The capital is still drizzling, and the streets are muddy.

The impression left on them by the two capitals in the notes of the Ming people is that Jinling is like a paradise on earth, and the streets are wide and clean, as for the streets of the capital, they are undoubtedly much inferior, and the fashion is feasible in winter.

Throughout the ages, the capital has never been a livable city, but countless people still sharpen their heads and squeeze here, because this is the biggest vanity fair in the world.

Lin Yanchao, Xiao Liangyou, and Zhang Mao repaired the three tripod armor of this subject test, and went to the ministry early in the morning.

The three-person carriage entered the Zhengyang Gate, passed through the chessboard street, turned east in front of the Daming Gate, and then turned north to the official office of the six yamen. It was early in the morning, and there were two or three hundred foreign officials waiting for vacancies, acting posts, replacing seals, and waiting for selection, inspecting the people and supervising the students, and lined up the old elders at the gate of the officials' department.

When these officials saw the carriage coming, they all said, "Why is someone coming again?" Your team is all lined up at the public student gate. ”

"It's too late, let's start early tomorrow! The last three watches will come to line up. ”

Normal people think to themselves, if they want to queue up, when will this be waiting!

When Lin Yanchao saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Ministry of Officials really deserves to be the first yamen in the world." ”

Xiao Liang said: "I heard that among the young brothers who watched the politics this time, Gu Xiancheng, who was the second in the second class, was going to be assigned to the Ministry of Officials, and he would be the first director in three years, so I can't envy him." ”

Zhang Mao cultivated: "If you don't say anything, the four official departments in the world, Hanlin, Ke, and Dao, this official department is still above Hanlin." ”

Lin Yanchao suddenly remembered. In history, Gu Xiancheng was the former secretary of the Ministry of Literature.

After Zhang Maoxiu finished speaking, he ordered the house slave to take the post of Zhang's mansion and directly take it and hand it to the gatekeeper of the ministry.

The gatekeeper was yawning, but when he saw the post, he immediately got up, and hurriedly came down from the yamen to make amends to the three of them, and then introduced them into the yamen. The officials waiting outside the door looked stupid.

"This young offspring? Why are you so arrogant? ”

At the moment, someone said: "These three are undergraduate tripod armor." ”

"The prefect of the fourth rank of this official is here, and he is still queuing, what about Sandingjia?"

"That Tanhua is Zhang Xianggongzi!"

"This ...... Ha, the weather is really nice today. ”

The doorman led the three of them straight into the Anthology Division, and Xiao Liangyou asked, "Shouldn't you visit the three hall officials first?" ”

The doorman explained: "The two young rulers are not given orders by officials, and as for Dazai, officials below the fifth rank are given orders. Rarely asked. ”

Lin Yanchao heard that in the yamen of the ministry, the rules are very unique, and when the other yamen ministers encounter trouble, they are all with the servants of the headquarters, and the chief of the department is in charge. It is not among the ministers of the ministry, but directly presents the book, and others are not allowed to ask.

In the four divisions of the Ministry of Officials, the Wenxuan Division. Holding the promotion of officials in the world is even more powerful.

Lin Yanchao and others came to the door of the Anthology Division. But when I saw more than a dozen officials waiting, they were all tired and tired, but they sat quietly. As for a senior official in a scarlet robe in the courtroom, he lowered his head like a subordinate official, listening to the lecture in the hall.

Lin Yanchao is also drunk, and Wenxuan Shilang is the fifth product. And the officials in the crimson official robes, at least four grades or more, are obediently listening to the training now, which is almost comparable to the prestige of the ministers. After a moment, the senior man reprimanded and came down to the court, and his face was not only not the slightest unhappy. But with a faint smile, it seems that there is hope for promotion.

Then Lin Yanchao and the three of them entered the courtroom, and others were respectful and afraid of the officials of the ministry, but we Hanlin didn't need to look at his face.

However, when they saw the fourth-grade officials and obediently listened to the training, the three of them did not lose their manners and said together: "I've seen Quancao." ”

Wen Xuan Shilang saw the three of them and said with a smile: "It turns out that Jinke Sanding Jia is here, please, please." ”

Wen Xuan Shilang's name is Lu Weizhen, the second year of Longqing Jinshi, even appreciated by Emperor Muzong, traversed the four divisions in the Ministry of Officials, it can be said that the scenery was for a while, and he saw Lin Yanchao and the three of them but did not have a talented shelf.

It turned out that Lu Weizhen was a native of Zhangpu, and Lin Yanchao were both Fujian, so they could be regarded as having a hometown. As soon as Lu Weizhen saw Lin Yanchao, he said enthusiastically: "I heard that the champion Lang Sanyuan and the first, I and other officials of the same nationality in Fujian are all bright!" Tomorrow night, I will hold a banquet in the mansion to congratulate you, please be sure to appreciate the glory! ”

Lin Yanchao knew that this kind of entertainment was indispensable after becoming an official, and it would be rude not to go, although he didn't need to borrow heavy officials, but his friends needed it in the same year, when he stepped into the officialdom, the endless interpersonal relationship was inseparable.

So Lin Yanchao agreed, and Xiao Liangyou and Zhang Maoxiu were also invited, and the face of the Sanpin Shilang could not be sold, but the face of the Wenxuan Shilang must be sold.

After that, the three of them registered their official records, resumes, and official uniforms.

Officials' official uniforms, court uniforms, official uniforms, swallow uniforms, etc., have different functions, and the most often worn are official uniforms and regular uniforms.

The official uniform was worn by the last dynasty, and the clothes above the fourth grade were scarlet, and among the more than 20,000 officials in the Ming Dynasty, they could be regarded as high-ranking officials.

The fifth to seventh grades are green, and the eighth and ninth grades are green, and Lin Yanchao is from the sixth grade, wearing a regimental collar shirt and green robe, decorated with small miscellaneous flowers, and using black horn leather belts.

The regular clothes are worn when sitting in the office on weekdays, which is a regimental collar shirt and green robe, with a four-clawed dragon python gold embroidery on the edge of the clothes, and a heron embroidered on the complement. As for Xiao Liangyou and Zhang Maoxiu's official clothes, they are exactly the same as Lin Yanchao's, but the regular clothes are different, there is no four-clawed dragon python on the edge of the clothes, and the patch is embroidered with Xiyi.

The four-clawed dragon python gold embroidery on the official robe is the treatment of officials above the sixth grade, but the seventh grade does not.

Before leaving, Lu Weizhen also said to the three of them with concern: "If you are free in the future, come to the official for tea, if you all go out from here, you will treat the Wenxuan Division as your maiden home!" ”

Looking at the row of officials waiting for Lu Weizhen to meet outside, the three of them knew that this was a polite remark, and they must not take it seriously, but they still said together: "Thank you Quancao." ”

Coming out of the ministry, the three of them were considered to be conferred officials, and then went to Shangbaosi together to receive the official tooth card.

This official tooth card is only available to Beijing officials, and it is distributed through the palace ban when the court participates.

Lin Yanchao's tooth plate is carved with a sentence moire, and the front is horizontally engraved with the words 'Hanlin Academy', which refers to Lin Yanchao's work in the yamen, and the word 'repair' is engraved vertically, which is Lin Yanchao's official name.

On the back is a uniform format, engraved 'the court counselor carries this card, the unlicensed person is guilty according to the law, the borrower and the borrower are guilty of the same, and the person who goes out of Beijing is not used' 26 words.

Lin Yanchao saw the Beijing officials when he visited the court, and they all hung the tooth tag on their left waist, and then wrapped it in a bag, which was very cherished. There is a saying in officialdom that 'I love Beijing officials have a tooth card', which refers to the envy of foreign officials for Beijing officials.

After receiving the official uniforms and tooth plates, the three of them went to report to the Hanlin Academy. (To be continued.) )
