The ritual of worshiping Cangjie was not too complicated, but Shaoyan led everyone to say some words of blessing, praying for these ancient sages to bless Daqi Yunyun.

After the simple worship, Shao Yan got up and said, "Everyone, get up!" ”

When the candidates heard this, they stood up from the ground, not knowing what shocking news was going to happen next.

"You are the first batch of young people who have mastered knowledge since the founding of my Great Qi, and the king will call you the pillars of the country, the future of Great Qi, which shows that the king attaches great importance to you.

However, you are still young and cannot be entrusted with important tasks, which means that it is impossible to become an official in your current situation.

”

Although these candidates were more or less expected, after really extinguishing their illusions, they were inevitably a little disappointed in their hearts.

However, Yin ignored their somewhat lonely expressions and continued: "Now that you have worshiped the sages, and your knowledge has been recognized by the king through this scientific examination, you are eligible to leave the academy from today onwards. ”

Speaking of this, Yin's face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "The knowledge you have learned from Daqi can only be used in Daqi for the benefit of all the people of Daqi, today you have to swear to the gods and be loyal to my Daqi, if there is anyone who betrays Daqi, you will exhaust your descendants, and its bloodline must be cut off between heaven and earth."

”

When all the candidates heard this, their hearts sank, although they didn't have the slightest idea of betraying Daqi at this time, but they were all a little overwhelmed when they heard such a murderous oath.

I don't know which candidate was emotionally excited, Gao Sheng said: "Yin Shangshu rest assured, we will not betray Daqi in this life, if anyone betrays Daqi, I will take a three-foot long sword and cut off this person's head with my own hands and dedicate it to the Temple of Literature." ”

Hearing this candidate's words, everyone immediately agreed, and the posture was as if his personality had been questioned, and he wanted to roll up his arms and sleeves and rush up to fight with others.

Yin nodded with satisfaction, and smiled after the candidates swore to the sky.

"You are all the pillars of my great Qi, now out of the school, since you are different from ordinary people, you are all knowledgeable people, the court will definitely give you a noble identity, see those hair crowns in front of the statue of the sage, this is a symbol of the identity of the equal, waiting for idle people can not wear it.

As long as you wear this crown, as long as you do not commit the crime of treason, the serious crime can be mitigated, and the minor crime can be reduced, and the magistrate has no right to punish the killing.

”

As he spoke, he looked at Shao Yan and said, "Come on!" ”

Shao Yan nodded, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it is his duty for this candidate to wear a crown, which is also one of the Qi rites.

In the excited mood of the candidates, there was a long queue, waiting for Shaoyan to wear the crown for himself.

With the technical level of this era, the hair crown can be said to be a very exquisite work of art, and the combination of bronze and jade is extremely exquisite.

The value of this crown is immeasurable, and it cannot be owned by non-leaders in other clans, but now Daqi wants to give such valuable things to these young people.

When the first young man wore the crown of his hair in class, his face turned red with excitement.

Shao Yan said a word of encouragement to him and continued to wear hair crowns for others.

Repeating this process constantly, he didn't feel any impatience, his expression was extremely solemn from beginning to end, and every action was meticulous.

The whole ceremony was solemn and solemn, and the excitement on the faces of these young people could not be concealed as they looked at the exquisite hair crown on the heads of their classmates.

Yang Hao didn't know much about the ancient hair crown, although he had heard of the crown ceremony, but in the previous life of Huaxia since the fall of the last Han dynasty, this etiquette no longer exists.

has been lost for hundreds of years, just looking at film and television works, and the scattered information of literary works, how can he understand so much.

It's just that he probably knows that the crown symbolizes status, and the official's hat, the Confucian scarf, and the general's hair crown all have their own meanings.

But now he can only come up with a plausible thing, which can be regarded as a continuation of a little civilization for the Chinese civilization in the previous life.

At the end of the crown ceremony, Shao Yan said: "You and others have now reached the crown, and now the imperial court will give you and other surnames to show grace, and there are more than 100 surnames here, and you can personally choose one of them as a surname." ”

As soon as these words came out, this group of young people suddenly heard a buzz, surnames are incomparably distant things for them, only those nobles in the big clan have their own surnames.

For example, before he got it, he was very envious of Ren Kang's surname, but now he can also have his own surname, and this reward is too significant for young people from poor backgrounds.

With a surname, even if they have a handful of loess, as long as the surname continues, even if future generations forget their ancestors, but as long as they still have the same surname as themselves, then they have not gone in vain in this world.

Just like the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor in ancient times, people with the surname Ji can be based on their surnames, until who their ancestors are and who their relatives are.

When Shao Yan spread a thick roll of bamboo slips on the table, the group of young people stepped forward with some apprehension, looking at the words on it with a solemn face.

Most of them knew these words, but it felt a little strange to use them as surnames.

Yang Hao didn't have the strength to write all the surnames of the hundred families, but with the surnames he had come into contact with or heard of in his previous life, he wrote them on the bamboo slips irregularly.

In order to make up a hundred, some surnames were made up by him, such as the grass surname, the Yue surname, the pine surname, and so on.

Choosing a surname is a very important thing for everyone, not only about their own identity, but also about their children and grandchildren.

After all, with a good-sounding surname, it is also a face-saving thing to be called out.

The officials watched the young man's slow selection, and did not rush forward, but waited quietly.

After about half an hour, when everyone had finished choosing, Yin took out a pamphlet made of animal skins from his bosom and asked everyone to come and report their names and register them.

was selected with the surname Zhang, because this surname has a bow word, and he likes bows and arrows very much, although Qi has no fate, the feeling at this time is that this surname is related to himself.

After seeing Yin write the word Zhang Shu on the booklet, he couldn't help but smile, and he couldn't help but smile, eager to return home immediately to share his joy with his mother and sister.

After today, their family will have their own name, that is, the Zhang family.

After registering the names of more than 30 people, Yin dried the ink on the booklet, carefully put it in his arms, and looked at these young people solemnly.

Daqi gave them the most expensive status, and they also had to do their part for Daqi, and the young people also knew that their future responsibilities were about to be revealed.
