On April 23, the Ministry of Rites once again gathered a large number of tributes to the Huangji Hall to listen to the roll call.

The Huangji Hall is the Taihe Hall of the later generations, it is the main hall of the Forbidden City, a group of tributes are in a complicated mood, some are excited and unbearable, some are worried, and all beings in the world are staged here one by one.

All the hundred officials in the court have arrived, lined up in front of the square in front of the palace, and the three hundred tributes are standing at the end of the court.

The two sides of the front of the Huangji Palace are hung high, and the music club and the sound department are set up on both sides of the eaves of the Huangji Palace, and the Dan Majesty is happy on both sides of the Huangji Gate.

Liu Ximing stood in the third place in the front row with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he naturally had no distractions in his heart at the moment.

On the contrary, he still had time to take a closer look at the previous first place in the examination, Liu Tongsheng, and the second place, Chen Zhixuan.

Liu Tongsheng is at least forty or fifty years old, which perfectly interprets the meaning of Hao's first poor scripture, although he wears a tall Jinshi uniform, but it is still difficult to hide the fact that he has entered aging.

Liu Ximing couldn't help but sigh again, he only stepped into the official career at the age of forty or fifty, and the best decades of his life were wasted in the pile of old papers, even if he was an official, what could he do.

This imperial examination has to be changed.

Chen Zhixuan has heard Chen Zilong talk about it in the past few days, this person basically belongs to the Donglin lineage, and has a close relationship with Qian Qianyi, Chen Mingxia and others.

Seeing Liu Ximing looking over, Chen Zhixuan nodded at him with a smile.

Liu Ximing hurriedly nodded in return.

At this stall, in front of the Huangji Palace, there were already officials from Honglu Temple who came out to put a yellow case in front of the hall, and the first assistant Wen Tiren stepped out of the hall with a yellow list in his hand and placed it on top of the yellow case.

After waiting for a while, the officials of the Ministry of Rites went to the Qianqing Palace to invite Chongzhen to the Huangji Hall to ascend to the throne, and after kneeling three times and bowing nine times, Honglu Temple Qing came out with the holy decree.

The clear voice reached His Majesty, and then groups of eunuchs carried their voices into the square.

"The system said: On April 21 of the tenth year of Chongzhen, the first class was given to the Jinshi and the first, the second class was given to the Jinshi background, and the third class was given to the same Jinshi background."

After the announcement of this Honglu Temple, he immediately picked up the yellow list again and read it aloud:

"First place, first place, Liu Ximing, Shunqing Mansion, Sichuan."

"Thank you for your grace."

"Wow"

There was a whisper among the tributes, and the champion of the palace examination was not the first in the examination, and many people looked at Liu Tongsheng, whose face was not very good.

"Smack"

Several crisp whip flicks sounded on both sides, and the Emperor Yu Shi on the side scolded in a low voice: "Don't make noise in front of the emperor." ”

Immediately, an official from Honglu Temple walked up to Liu Ximing and led him to the left side of the Imperial Palace to kneel.

"First and second place, Jiangxi Jishui Liu Tongsheng."

"First and third place, Chen Zhixuan, Haining, Zhejiang."

There are as many as 300 Jinshi on the list, so the top three of the first class and the first place of the second and third classes of the roll call are the first to be listed, but only the champion, the list eye and the tanhua can be listed

His Majesty knelt down.

Liu Ximing glanced at the officials standing behind him with a wat a little helplessly, and kneeling together has become his privilege.

The roll call has been completed, the Dan Majesty music played the strings, and all the beings knelt three times and bowed nine times to thank the emperor, which was the completion of the roll call.

Such a grand scene, even if Liu Ximing is a person who has seen the world, he is still a little excited.

When Chongzhen and many courtiers dispersed, a group of new science and technology scholars walked out of the noon gate and Chengtian gate under the leadership of officials of the Ministry of Rites, and watched the yellow list in the dragon tent temporarily erected at the left gate of Chang'an.

At this time, Liu Tongsheng and Chen Zhixuan had already become Liu Ximing's little followers, walking behind him step by step, not daring to go beyond half a step.

The list of the palace examination is not much different from the examination, except for Liu Ximing, a freak, others are basically still ranked.

Liu Ximing glanced at the circle and was overjoyed, in this way, there are three people in the second class plus the Huang Zonghui Datong Society, and there are four people in the third class, which is really commendable.

"Champion, congratulations, congratulations."

"In the future, I will ask the champion for more advice."

Out of the left gate of Chang'an, a group of Jinshi who followed continued to congratulate Liu Ximing loudly.

However, immediately the officials of Honglu Temple came to intervene, and after a group of people read the list, they were taken to Honglu Temple to learn various noodle rites, and at the same time participated in the banquet of the Ministry of Rites.

On the next day, April 24, Chongzhen's special reward for the champion finally arrived.

The champion costume is very atmospheric, including a crown with two beams, a crimson robe, a white silk single, a large belt, a brocade ribbon, a jade pendant, in addition to a gauze hat, a round neck, a silver belt, black court boots, white felt socks, etc.

Even Liu Ximing was a little reluctant to take it off after he was replaced, and he even made Chen Yiding, Ren Yuanjia and other members of the Datong Society who fell off the list greedy.

Among the three hundred people, only the champion has this special experience, and Liu Ximing also ridiculed the Ming Dynasty in front of Dou Yuquan and others, this is to save money.

On the fourth day after the roll call, Liu Ximing wore this set of champion clothes and led 300 jinshi to the Imperial Palace to express his gratitude.

The expression Liu Ximing has already been written, and in the imperial palace, the ministers have arrived, which makes the court even more majestic.

However, today's protagonists are not them, but Liu Ximing and the others three hundred jinshi.

The above expression of gratitude was over, Chongzhen smiled and waved at Cao Huachun, asking him to step forward to announce the decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, the country takes materials, focuses on moral articles, Ding Chouke champion Liu Xi's life, bowed to himself, and has to be worthy of great responsibility, and he was awarded the ancestral system to be revised by the Hanlin Academy, and the first award was awarded from the six products of the Chenglang."

Wen Tiren stood at the forefront of the ministers with his eyes and nose and nose, and his heart was not disturbed when he heard the edict read by Cao Huachun.

These are all custom-made things, and they are not something he can manage.

Who knew that Cao Huachun's next few words shook his body, and his face was full of disbelief.

It was also stated that Liu Ximing, the new Anbo, had a great merit in capturing the thief and was promoted to the Hanlin Academy

Cheng Naolang, accompanied the prince to study. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Wow"

At this moment, the hundreds of ministers in the Imperial Palace were all in an uproar.

"Smack", "Smack"

"Silence, silence"

"Don't be disgraced before the king"

The imperial historians in charge of ceremonies kept whispering to the courtiers.

Wen Tiren finally couldn't help it, he turned his head to look at Wang Qingbai, the servant of the ministry, and saw that he also had a surprised expression on his face, knowing that Chongzhen should not have discussed it with the ministry, so he winked at him immediately.

Wang Qingbai immediately understood, he immediately walked out of the queue with a wat board in his hand, and saluted Chongzhen on the dragon chair:

"Your Majesty, it is a common practice for the first class to be awarded to the Hanlin Academy for revision, but Your Majesty has promoted the new Amber to be a scholar, which is unreasonable, and please think twice."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Several members of the Zhejiang Party, including Yushi Shi Fan and Gao Jie, who came out of the queue, also bowed down and said, "Please think twice, Your Majesty." ”

Liu Ximing knelt in front of the hall expressionless at this time, and he could understand this reaction in the court.

What is the concept of Hallym Academy?

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was often the champions of the first class, Bangyan and Tanhua who were directly awarded to the Hanlin Academy to revise and compile, while the second-class jinshi had to take an exam.

Among them, the outstanding talents were elected to the Hanlin Academy as the Ji Shi, because the cabinet scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties basically came out of the Hanlin Academy, that is to say, if you do not do well in the palace examination, it is almost impossible to get into the position of cabinet minister by yourself.

Entering the Hanlin Academy does not mean that you will definitely be able to enter the cabinet, you also have to go through the official journey of Shu Jishi - revision, editing - waiting, waiting-studying, waiting-studying, and waiting-speaking-squirting-shangshu.

Twenty or thirty years later, if luck, holy will, fame and other aspects are in place, then it will be possible to enter the cabinet.

And in this period of history, it is natural that the lowest level of the Jishi, revision and other positions are the most grinding.

Don't you see Zhang Pu, the leader of the dignified restoration society, since Chongzhen was on the list for four years, has he been staying in the position of editing and polishing in the Hanlin Academy.

Therefore, watching Liu Ximing take a helicopter to be promoted directly from the Hanlin Academy to the Hanlin Academy, of course the courtiers quit.

However, Liu Ximing believed that Chongzhen naturally had his reasons for doing this, so he knelt quietly aside and obeyed the arrangement.

Sure enough, Chongzhen flashed a trace of dissatisfaction with the performance in the court.

"Rank ministers, I am promoted to the new Amber today, naturally I have the reason and plan, now the government is in full swing, and I am in need of ministers, the new Amber has repeatedly solved major troubles for the imperial court, and he is the champion of the new department, and he can set an example for this session of Jinshi."

He looked up at Cao Huachun and motioned for him to take out the things he had prepared.

"Cao Daban, you read all the excerpts of Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi."

"The old slave obeys the order", Cao Huachun took out two folds from his sleeve and read them in a frustrated manner.
