"The master has been promoted?"

After getting the news, the descendants of the Lin family suddenly boiled and rushed from all directions.

The fastest one is Lin Yanshou.

He happened to be a guest at the Lin Mansion today.

As soon as he heard the news of Lin Yanchao's promotion, he immediately came to the door and asked, "My brother has been promoted?" Don't talk nonsense, I have learned from the past. ”

Lin Yanshou is also much more cautious, since he made a joke about Lin Yanchao's Xie Yuan back then, he has learned to think twice about everything.

Lin Qianqian walked out of the house from behind, and when he heard Lin Yanshou's words, he was angry and funny: "Brother, you still think everyone is like that." ”

Lin Yanshou listened to Lin Qianqian's reproach, and said with a smile: "What my brother and sister said is true." ”

The subordinate gasped and laughed: "Second master, how dare I talk nonsense about such a happy thing?" ”

"Then how many rank has my brother been promoted?"

"So that the second master is happy, the master is promoted to the left concubine of the Zhan Mansion and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy."

"Wait!" Lin Yanshou reprimanded, "Although my family Yanchao is not my Lin family's house, the eldest son and eldest grandson like me, but it is not a concubine!" Don't talk nonsense. ”

Now the person was sweating profusely and hurriedly explained: "Second master, wronged, this official was granted by the emperor." ”

"! My brother Jane is in the heart of the emperor! How could the emperor say that my brother is a concubine? If you still have a left concubine, is there still a right concubine, a former concubine, and a rear concubine? ”

This man patiently explained: "It is the left concubine of Zhan Shifu, and the court does have this official, dignified and upright." ”

Lin Qianqian said: "Brother, wait until they finish speaking." ”

Lin Yanshou nodded and said: "Brother and sister, you don't know, there are a lot of people who impersonate and cheat rewards these years, I suffered this big loss when I took the county exam in my hometown, let me help you ask again, you said that this Zuo Shuzi has five grades, so how many grades is this Hanlin Academy's bachelor?" ”

"From the Five Grades ......"

But seeing Lin Yanshou clapping his hands and saying, "You still said that you didn't come to entertain me?" Brother and sister, there is no doubt that this person is here to cheat the reward, my brother is a dignified fourth-grade prefect, but he was demoted to a fifth-grade prefect, and he said that he was promoted. ”

"Is the fourth-rank official to the fifth-rank official promoted? Isn't such a nine-rank official the prime minister of the dynasty? You and I can't count? ”

At this time, there were already a lot of people around the house, and when I heard Lin Yanshou say this, I also felt that what you said was so reasonable.

As for Qiu Mingshan, Yuan Keli, Tao Wangling, the three brothers of the Yuan family, Yang Daobin and others have just arrived.

"Who is this man?"

Tao Wangling coughed and said, "It's the teacher's brother, you didn't know it when you first came to the house, and we are all used to it." ”

"Got used to it?"

Tao Wangling nodded.

So Qiu Mingshan came to Lin Qianqian with everyone, and Qiu Mingshan asked: "Dare to ask Madame, I don't know what official position Dong Weng has sealed?" ”

Lin Qianqian actually doesn't know how Lin Yanchao is an official, Lin Yanchao has always rarely told her about officialdom.

So Lin Qianqian said: "I heard that it is the left concubine of Zhan Shifu and the attendant of Hanlin Academy, Mr. Qiu, what do you think?" ”

Lin Qianqian thought that he didn't understand, so he asked someone.

Everyone present showed joy.

"The teacher has returned to the Hanlin Academy, this is a great joy!" Yuan Keli was the first to say.

Yuan Zongdao said with a smile: "Yes, madam, Mr. was originally Zuo Zhongyun of Zhan Shifu and the attendant of Hanlin Academy, Zuo Zhongyun is the sixth grade, and the waiter is also the sixth grade, only from the official position, the title of Zhan Shifu has been promoted by two levels, and it is even more rare to be promoted from waiter to bachelor, and it is difficult for the official of Hanlin Academy to be promoted." ”

Lin Qianqian said happily when he heard this, this is good.

Tao Wangling said with a smile: "Master, it's not just that it's difficult to get promoted, the highest in the Hanlin Academy is only the fifth grade, and the cabinet scholar is the prime minister." In addition to the cabinet scholars, only the bachelor of Hanlin is the fifth grade, and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy has never been appointed by the Hanlin Academy except for the former first assistant Zhang Puzhou, so the head of the academy has always been concurrently served by the attendant and the bachelor, so the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is the most noble, and whether it is the head of the academy is secondary. ”

Yang Daobin and the three brothers of the Yuan family all smiled when they heard this: "Brother Tao is worthy of being a generation of ministers, and he explained the key in one sentence." ”

Tao Wangling couldn't help but sigh: "It would be nice if my uncle was still alive, he was a thirty-five year jinshi in Jiajing, and in the fourth year of Longqing, he worshiped the bachelor in charge of the Hanlin Academy, he has always been Geng Jie, hoping to be a good atmosphere in the court, but unfortunately the day is not a holiday, otherwise he will become a close friend with the teacher in the court." ”

What Tao Wangling said is that his uncle is Tao Dalin, Jiajing's thirty-five years of example, in the Hanlin Academy for fourteen years to study for a bachelor in charge of the Hanlin Academy, so the promotion speed is not slow in Dingjia, if it is not limited by life, it is not difficult to enter the cabinet.

Tao Dalin's official voice is very good, and everyone is sorry when they hear it.

However, it took 14 years for Tao Dalin to be so handsome, and Lin Yanchao became a bachelor in less than six years, which is really amazing.

In fact, Qiu Mingshan and they know that not only that, but the bachelor is the prime minister, the most prominent official in the forest, which is not something that can be summarized by a few officials.

At this time, Qiu Mingshan said solemnly: "Okay, now is not the time to discuss these things. Madam, the lord doesn't know when to return home, at this time there should be a lot of officials to invite, the lord is afraid that he will be busy with entertainment, and he will have to delay for a while. However, there should be an endless stream of officials who will come to congratulate immediately, especially the officials of the Hanlin Academy, who will definitely visit Shangguan in advance, and we should think about how to greet them. ”

Lin Qianqian nodded and said: "I have an idea about this, he has never liked publicity, so if the officials who worship him don't matter, let's stop it first." I'll talk about the rest when I get back. ”

Qiu Mingshan nodded and said: "Now the housekeeper Chen and Brother Zhan are not here, who will come to receive the arrangement, and ask Mrs. to show me." ”

Lin Qianqian said: "Okay, let's ask Mr. Qiu to coordinate the affairs of the outer house first, Wangling, you can come to entertain the guests, collect the posts first, don't let the carriage block the door and disturb the neighbors......"

"Brother and sister, I can also help one or two!"

Lin Yanshou volunteered.

Everyone had a headache, Lin Qianqian said: "Brother, you have more important things, you have to notify the Zhen family that the prime minister has been promoted, and the in-laws must be even more happy, and this matter will bother you." ”

Lin Yanshou listened to the intention, but frowned again and said, "Brother and sister, I'm afraid that you are busy with a woman's family......"

Lin Qianqian said directly: "Prepare a car for my brother immediately!" ”

Lin Yanshou......

When Lin Yanchao returned home, it was just dark, but he was very relieved to see that the house was in order.

The subordinates were all dressed in red, and when they saw Lin Yanchao, they smiled and said, "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master." ”

At that moment, Qiu Mingshan took his protégé, the three brothers of the Yuan family, Yang Daobin and others to greet him.

Everyone bowed down and said, "Congratulations to the teacher (Mr., Dong Weng), who has been promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin!" ”

Lin Yanchao laughed when he heard this, let go of the mood he had been tense, and helped everyone up and said, "Eh, it's too much of a fuss." ”

Qiu Mingshan said: "Master, other eunuchs are also congratulating in the same way, and the subordinates just did what they should do." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Then Lin Yanchao looked at Tao Wangling and said: "Although I am a teacher at the moment, I will not show favoritism, you have to work hard before the Spring Festival, you will succeed naturally, and the water will definitely come to fruition, don't weaken my face." ”

After entering the door, Lin Yanchao was the first to tell Tao Wangling, which shows that he has great expectations for him.

Tao Wangling straightened up and said loudly: "The student must work hard to live up to the teacher's high expectations." ”

Yuan Zongdao and Yang Daobin are both hot in their hearts.

The palace examination paper official must use the attendant to lecture on the bachelor, which is the default rule of the imperial examination.

In the examination, the chief examiner and the deputy examiner have default rules.

Throughout the late Ming Dynasty, the chief examiner must have been selected from among the cabinet scholars, and the deputy chief examiner must have been from the Cilin Minister.

What is a word forest bureaucracy? The word forest is Hanlin, and the big bureaucrats in the Hanlin Academy are the bachelors and the bachelors.

Therefore, the deputy examiner must be selected from the bachelor's degree, and only after the bachelor's degree is vacant, the most senior Hanlin will be selected to fill it.

So now that Lin Yanchao is promoted to a bachelor's degree, a palace examination paper reader must not be able to run away, when the palace examination was taken, Shen Shixing was known to the paper reader Zhang Juzheng with words, and finally became the champion after Zhang Juzheng's order.

And Lin Yanchao is already a bachelor, and he is the current Wenzong, and in the future, he will judge the quality of the article in the palace examination, and his opinion is extremely weighty.

Not to mention the opportunity to become the deputy examiner of the entrance examination.

They followed Lin Yanchao to Beijing this time, and this bet was really right.

Especially when Yang Daobin was not promoted because Lin Yanchao had been pressed before, he was still hesitant to leave, but fortunately he stayed. It was the wisest decision of his life.

Lin Yanchao looked at Yuan Keli again and said, "Have you completed all the formalities for entering the prison?" ”

Yuan Keli said: "Back to the teacher, it's done." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "This time I will try, even if I don't win, I can also do the training." ”

Yuan Keli has just entered the national prison now, although he can also participate in the examination immediately, but he also knows that his knowledge has not yet arrived, and he is much inferior to Tao Wangling, so it is difficult to pass the examination, so he can accumulate experience and see if he can take a shit luck.

Of course, if Lin Yanchao is the deputy chief examiner of the examination, and Yuan Keli really writes a good article, Lin Yanchao has no reason not to recommend it.

As for Yuan Zongdao, Yang Daobin, and Lin Yanchao also comforted a few words and didn't say too much.

But Yuan Zongdao immediately spoke up, and he planned to move out to study until before the exam.

Lin Yanchao showed appreciation when he heard Yuan Zongdao say this, and Yang Daobin also realized it, and also said that he would also move out to live.

At that moment, Lin Yanchao agreed to the request of the two.

That's right, when Lin Yanchao didn't give an official before, it didn't matter if they lived in Lin Yanchao's house. But now that Lin Yanchao has become a bachelor, even if he doesn't personally preside over such an examination as a book of Hengwen, with his current status, he is influential in such an examination.

Not to mention anything else, just one thing, most of the examiners are selected from the Hanlin Academy.

Lin Yanchao, as a Hanlin Bachelor, will he hint at what these Hanlin subordinates are?

Even if Lin Yanchao didn't hint at it, if the two of them passed the exam and the news spread, how would they make it clear in the future?

So it's definitely the best policy to move out as soon as possible, it was snobbish to go before, and it's wise to go now.

Yang Daobin thought to himself, the Yuan family really deserves to be the son of an official eunuch, and the people in this officialdom are sophisticated, and he is really inferior.
