Chapter 397: Liberation Ceremony
"Confucius was trapped in Chen Cai, playing the piano in the room without eating for seven days, and Yan Hui released vegetables outdoors to show respect for the teacher and never leave." - "Customs and Customs".
Since then, the release of the cuisine represents respect for the teacher, and the release of the dish ceremony has become one of the two major etiquette systems of the sacrifice of holes, the release of the dish is to use melons, fruits and vegetables to honor the teacher, the release of the dish is the "apprenticeship ceremony", but with the passage of time, the new branch of the Jinshi also has to perform the release of the vegetable ceremony, thank the ancestor Confucius, and then take off the coarse cloth clothes and straw sandals, indicating that the official career.
After entering the Confucian Temple, the officials of the Guozijian led Zhu Ping'an and others into the side hall, washed and changed clothes, removed the clothes on their bodies, changed into coarse cloth clothes and shoes that had been prepared long ago, and lined up according to the ranking of the palace examination under the guidance of the officials of the Guozijian.
In the Confucian Temple, in addition to the officials of the Guozijian, there are also officials of the Ministry of Rites, who serve as the general praise, introduction and secretary of the release ceremony.
Zhu Ping'an walked in the front, and under the guidance of Youji, he came to the platform of Dacheng Hall through the Zhijing Gate, and walked up to the platform through the steps on the east side of the platform.
"Shift arrangement, dedication officials and below are in place." After Tongzan saluted to Dacheng Palace, he turned around and shouted orders to Zhu Ping'an and others.
A few people came out of the queue, leading Zhu Ping'an and others to stand in line on the east side of the platform, and then the rest of the personnel were also in place.
After Zhu Ping'an stood firm, he heard a burst of music, and I don't know when a large-scale band appeared on the stage, wearing red dresses and holding various musical instruments.
After the Jiajing Chapter was played, 36 students were sent by the Department of Rites and Rites. Each person holds three pheasant tail feathers in his right hand and a piccolo in his left hand, and walks onto the platform in a red dress to dance the Six Dances.
Meanwhile. The Tongzan official began to recite the prayers:
The saint of ancient literature, the teacher of eternity. The torch is passed down for hundreds of generations.
Now my generation sees the sages and thinks together
Fu Wei is still feasting.
After the recitation of the sacrificial text, it was time for Zhu Ping'an and them to release the dishes, according to the usual practice, the champions, Bangyan, and Tanhua generally stepped forward to salute Kong Sheng and the twelve sages to release the dishes, but today Ouyang Zishi was also added. The four of them performed the food release ceremony on behalf of all living beings.
There was a new jinshi in the audience who made a doubtful urn, but he was reprimanded and suppressed by the priest of the country.
Zhu Ping'an took the lead in going to the vegetable release institute to take a watercress stick, a handful of leek flowers, a few red dates and a handful of chestnuts, and put them together in a plate. Return to the platform.
Cress represents students, leek flowers represent talents, red dates represent early aspirations, and chestnuts represent reverence for Confucius.
"Disciple Zhu Ping'an. Received the teaching of etiquette and music, and was fortunate to be successful. Dare to lay Jia cuisine in the first saint Confucius. ”
Zhu Ping'an walked into the Dacheng Hall under the statue of Confucius, knelt down to offer the release of food, and then the introduction next to Zhu Ping'an got up, poured a bottle of wine and handed it to Zhu Ping'an, Zhu Ping'an knelt down again to offer wine to the statue of Confucius, so a total of three bottles of wine were offered, and Zhu Ping'an's release of the dish salute was over.
Bangyan, Tanhua and Ouyang Zishi respectively saluted the twelve sages.
The rest of the Jinshi on the platform of the Dacheng Hall were under the guidance of Youji. On the platform of the Dacheng Palace, the dish was released to Confucius and the twelve sages.
By the time the whole ceremony was over, the sun was already rising to the middle. After Zhu Ping'an and the others finished the food ceremony, they would also take off their coarse cloth clothes and shoes, and put on the official uniforms prepared by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials for everyone according to their respective official positions.
For a while, Zhu Ping'an and the others all turned into a group of well-dressed beasts.
Zhu Ping'an is wearing a six-grade official uniform, a cyan official uniform, and there is a complement with a heron painting in front of the official uniform.
In addition to Zhu Ping'an, the others, including Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen, are all seven-grade official uniforms, which are also cyan, but the complement on the front of their official uniforms is painted with an emu.
"Master Zhu, take care of the lower officials in the future" Zhang Siwei squeezed his eyes and said with a flattering face.
"Ahem, it depends on how you say this" Zhu Ping'an moved his paw and made a serious gesture twice.
"Dog official" Wang Shizhen watched the two of them messing around, and couldn't help laughing and scolding.
In fact, except for Zhu Ping'an and the three of them, everyone also touched the official uniforms on their bodies, laughing, and excited like something.
When everyone changed into official uniforms and smiled, the officials of the Ministry of Industry came to tell them the good news, the inscription tablet of the Jinshi in charge of the Ministry of Industry had been carved, and they were invited to take a look.
It's a name in history.
Everyone was excited, and they couldn't wait to go to the place where the Guozijian set up a monument, and the official from the Ministry of Industry couldn't stop getting close to Ouyang Zishi on the road, which made Ouyang Zishi's hearts more eye-catching, and there were more new Jinshi around Ouyang Zishi.
The reason why the officials of the Ministry of Industry slammed Ouyang Zishi was completely because he saw Yan Shifan's face, and Yan Shifan is now the second-in-command of the Ministry of Industry, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, which is equivalent to a modern vice minister. Because Yan Song is the first assistant of the cabinet, and the background is so hanging, in fact, Yan Shifan has the final say on the affairs of the Ministry of Industry.
Ouyang Zishi is Yan Song's nephew, Yan Shifan's relative, and how can the officials of the Ministry of Industry be lazy.
For the rest of the newly promoted scholars, the glory of the imperial examination has passed, whether it is the champion in the future, or the tail of the crane, it is all in the past tense, and the new journey has begun from this moment, and all the previous ones have turned the page. In the career to rise, one's own efforts are one thing, but more importantly, there must be people above, nobles to support, and big people to take care of, so that you can be like a fish in water in your career.
They are all new to the ranks, and it is unique to be able to contact a big man like the first assistant of the cabinet through Ouyang Zishi.
Therefore, everyone firmly grasped this opportunity and brushed their faces around Ouyang Zishi, paving the way for their future careers.
Relatively speaking, Zhu Ping'an was much more neglected by his side, only Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen were accompanied.
"Ahem, he won't lift it" Zhu Ping'an pointed to Ouyang Zishi, who was surrounded by everyone in front of him, and said leisurely.
Indeed, Ouyang Zishi, who was surrounded by everyone, did not use an umbrella anymore.
However, when they heard that Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen couldn't help laughing, others didn't know what Zhu Ping'an meant, but they did. Hearing Zhu Ping'an's words, they couldn't help but think of what Zhu Ping'an said with a wicked smile in the morning: If he doesn't lift it, it will be a sunny day.
In the place where the Guozijian specially erected the monument, there were rows of dense Jinshi stone tablets, and under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Industry, everyone saw the piece that belonged to them.
Seeing their names on the stone tablet, everyone showed a proud look of glory and glory.
Only Zhu Ping'an was very indifferent.
Although this Jinshi inscription stele is brand new and the font is strong and powerful, there are many other steles not far from this stele that are blurred in the wind and sun
It's not this that the people who live in the world.
The stele engraved on the stone will be weathered, and only engraved on people's hearts can it be forever.
Today, I have entered the official career, and I will not forget my original intention (to be continued.) )
