Chapter 1003 Huichen is going to get married
Princess Huichen is about to get married, this matter is naturally very important, a few years ago, Queen Mother Bai has always ignored Princess Huichen, no matter whether she asked, in her early years, she let this ten-year-old girl gnaw pig's trotters every day, and she gnawed herself to a hundred catties!
Later, Li Xuan still couldn't stand it, Nima, let Princess Huichen eat it again, and this tonnage will exceed two hundred catties!
So two years earlier, he asked Princess Huichen to pay attention to weight loss, eat less and run more, and then found a female official for her and taught her to read and write.
He didn't know what the former Empress Dowager Bai and Lear Bi thought, as their son, he had been studying since he was a child, and he was even able to participate in the imperial examination, but his sister Princess Huichen was illiterate.
And it's very interesting, not only their family, but also a considerable number of landlord and gentry families, even the so-called scholarly families, many girls in them are illiterate, Confucianism has long been played bad by Zhu Cheng, and now many people pay attention to what 'women are not talented is virtuous'.
But fortunately, Wang Wenhua and the others also know that Li Xuan hates illiteracy, and the various show girls and all kinds of dancing girls they have sent to the palace over the years are basically recognizable, and some of them have received a relatively good cultural literacy education since childhood, and they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
And these ladies from scholarly families are different from the young ladies of Qin Huai, who have also been trained in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, and by the way, there are all kinds of dancing and bed skills training.
But those ladies are full of the breath that this girl is everyone's ladies and how far you are waiting for poor scholars!
Li Xuan doesn't want his sister to be illiterate when she grows up!
I don't want her to get heavier and heavier, it's not that she is beautiful or not, whether it will crush the groom on the wedding night, but that obesity has a serious impact on health!
Although he has no feelings, Li Xuan still hopes that his sister can live a healthy and happy life!
It's a pity that Princess Huichen's weight wants to be lost, it's too difficult, she has already used dieting and exercise to lose weight, but she is the same as Queen Mother Bai: drinking water makes you fat!
This is also sixteen years old now, and he still weighs more than 150 pounds!
And weight, this thing has a lot to do with height, if there is one meter eight or nine or something, more than one hundred and fifty pounds is not heavy!
You want to ask Princess Huichen's height? Well, this can't be said!
Princess Huichen's height, that is an imperial secret, cannot be easily leaked.
What, you say she's only one meter four? What are you kidding, our princess Huichen is obviously 1.55 meters tall!
Huichen is getting married, the royal family has been busy with this recently, although the Li family has become a royal family, but it is not a few years, Empress Dowager Bai and Empress Dong still retain many folk customs, this marriage is naturally inseparable from many customs, and many things need to be prepared in advance.
And Li Xuan is also preparing to wait for the past few days to meet the husband chosen by the Empress Dowager Bai for Princess Huichen, as for now, he is very busy, not to mention the messy government affairs, the imperial examination has consumed a lot of his time.
At the beginning of April of the seventh year of Xuanping, in Jinling City, many people were attracted by the upcoming palace examination!
It is completely different from the scene when the Tang Dynasty held the imperial examination in the past!
Although the imperial examination held by the Tang Dynasty has also attracted the attention of many people, to be honest, the overall influence is still relatively limited.
In the early era of Zhaoqing, the capital of Zhaoqing, several imperial examinations held can be said to have great limitations, the participants in the imperial examinations are Liangguang and some Guizhou scholars, and even if it is the local scholars, the vast majority of people do not agree with the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty in order to gather enough hundreds of people to participate in the imperial examination, it can be said that it took a lot of hard work.
After two years, in order to let the scholars participate in the imperial examination, the Ministry of Rites also did its best!
In the early days, as long as you pass the Jinshi, you will be awarded an official position above the sixth grade on the spot, and then it will not take long for the official position awarded after completing the basic internship to be one or two levels higher.
In the early years, after the Tang Jinshi was examined, it was not difficult to climb to the fourth grade within a year, because the examination was the start of the sixth grade, and the selection of officials after three months was often promoted to one or even two levels, and at that time, the Tang Dynasty occupied more and more places, and the gap for officials was quite large, as long as they did not make mistakes, even if there was nothing outstanding, but they could often be promoted after a few months.
If you're lucky, it's very possible to climb to the fourth grade within a year!
And if you are lucky and capable, then the speed of promotion is the same as making a rocket, for example, Chen Lifu, in the vital institution of the Food Collection Department, can be promoted to the fourth level in two years.
In the next two years, although the demand for officials in the Tang Dynasty was still relatively large, it was not so terrifying, especially after occupying Jiangnan, the Tang Dynasty's awarding of new scholars was reduced a little.
But today, in the seventh year of Xuanping, the awarding of new science scholars has basically returned to the normal average level of history, whether it is a scholar or a doctorate, it is a unified standard, the first class is awarded from the sixth grade, the second class is awarded from the seventh grade, and the third class is awarded from the seventh grade!
However, in addition to the grade, in fact, the biggest impact is the specific appointment, generally speaking, the first and second grades, are staying in Beijing to serve, they may be arranged to enter the ministries, or they may be arranged to enter the Hanlin Academy, even after entering the Hanlin Academy, it is also divided into multiple sections, into the secretariat and into the ordinary department, which is completely different.
Here, in the case of the same grade, entering the secretariat is naturally the first choice, this is the institution that can get close to Li Xuan, and it is also the dream place of countless young officials.
Generally speaking, there are only two people who can enter the secretariat every year, that is, the champions of the Jinshi Department and the Doctoral Department, and the others, including the second place in the first class, and the third place sometimes cannot enter, as for the second and third grades, there is no chance of 100% of them.
In addition to the two annual champions, the Secretariat is now more inclined to select young, experienced middle- and lower-level officials.
In short, you must be young to be talented and experienced, and then there is an unwritten rule, and the background must be excellent, otherwise, how can so many young, talented and experienced middle and low-level officials in the country be able to enter the secretariat and soar from then on!
The second and third class scholars, the second class can generally stay in Beijing, usually enter the ministries to take charge of more important affairs, or may enter the inspectorate or the big court, or the Ministry of Taxation, the patrol department and other special institutions, depending on the scholar's own wishes and whether there is a need for people in the specific yamen, not that you want to go there.
The top three are basically the first to stay in the Beijing division of the yamen for three months of internship, three months later, depending on the situation, the official is awarded, and generally sent to the yamen of various ministries or provincial, prefecture-level and other local yamen to serve as ordinary positions, and the ability is outstanding is the training of the counties and towns below.
Yes, for the top three jinshi, staying in Beijing or going to a certain provincial city is actually a very poor choice, because that means that the career in this life is like that.
These people generally go down to the county to serve as the head of a certain section, and then transition to the head of the agriculture and forestry section or the head of the industrial and commercial section.
These two positions are very important in today's Tang Dynasty official system, because these two positions are very testing, so the boss also likes to promote these two positions.
And with the experience of the county order, you will have a greater chance to become a governor and a prefect in the future!
And after you have the experience of running a government, the ministry will list you as a reserve candidate for the political envoy or governor.
This road is almost the best way for local officials to climb up.
Of course, very few people in the various ministries of Gyeonggi or in the provincial yamen can climb fast, and they may even become a squire!
But such people are very rare!
And even if he is a person who climbs fast in the Gyeonggi Yamen, even if a group of people behind him pushes him up, but due to the officialdom rules of the Tang Dynasty, he has to go to a place, and he still has to go to a poor place to gild.
In addition to the Ministry of Taxation, the patrol police, the Inspectorate and other institutions that have been promoted internally, ordinary civil officials in other institutions, if they do not have the experience of the ruling party, want to cross the third rank and become the squire or governor from the second rank, which is impossible in today's Tang Dynasty.
In today's Datang, the fastest way to get promoted is to stay in Gyeonggi for a while, release it for a while, and then transfer back to Gyeonggi for a period of time.
But you have to pay attention again, not everyone can be transferred back to Gyeonggi after being transferred to a place, and not everyone can be transferred back to Gyeonggi again, for many officials, there may not be such an opportunity in their lives.
The officials who can have such an opportunity are all the reserve officials of the ministry who have been named on the ministry and have been designated as the key training, and they all meet the five conditions: young, talented, experienced, background, and loyalty!
The latter article of the loyal monarch, a slight explanation: I am willing to sacrifice all my loyalty to the Son of Heaven!
