The next day was the day of the "Little Legend". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Tao took out the outfit that Zhong Haodian had tried on again and asked him to put it on. This outfit is still the same white shirt, with a loyalty and filial piety belt tied around the waist, with a purse, and a black hard hemp on the head.

This outfit was also specially explained by the officials of the Ministry of Rites yesterday.

After Zhong Hao cleaned up, it was still Yang Huaiyu who personally sent him to Donghua Gate, this time it was not to take the exam, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and the two talked and laughed all the way to Donghua Gate.

In front of today's Donghua Gate, there is no such solemn atmosphere of the forbidden army standing on the street when there was no palace test, the palace forbidden defense has returned to normal, and those forbidden troops on duty are on duty as in the past.

When Zhong Hao arrived at Donghua Gate, there were already several Jinke Gongshi who had arrived. At that moment, Zhong Hao smiled and nodded to each other. Zhong Hao didn't know much about these people, and he couldn't talk about them, so after nodding and saying hello, he stood there quietly waiting for the arrangement of the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Of course, even if they know each other, this place is not a place to talk, they are all standing there and waiting for the arrangement of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The only thing Zhong Hao knows is Xu Wudang, the provincial governor of Jinke, of course, people don't know him. This provincial Yuan Xu has no party, and when he took the palace exam, he was the first in the line, so most of the people knew him. Obviously, his results in this palace examination are also good, and he is qualified to enter the "Little Chuanlu". It seems that people can take the provincial yuan test, and they definitely have real talent and real learning.

As for the first place in the other first exam, the candidate named Liu Jingxuan, Zhong Hao saw that he did not enter the "Little Chuanxuan" this time, and it seems that the results of the palace examination were not satisfactory.

When the people arrived, two officials of the Ministry of Rites in green robes introduced these ten tributes to the Zhilu outside the Donghua Gate and taught them the court etiquette when they met the officials' homes.

In fact, before the temple examination, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had already taught these candidates in this regard, but at that time, there were too many people, and they only needed to perform a big bow collectively, and there was no chance to face the saint alone! So this ritual of solitary consecration is not taught. Therefore, the etiquette taught by the officials of the Ministry of Rites this time is mainly to teach the etiquette when facing the saint alone.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites taught in detail the etiquette of these tribute soldiers who participated in the "Little Chuan Yu" when they met the officials' homes, and told them not to lose their manners.

After that, everyone was in the straight house outside the Donghua Gate, excited and a little nervous waiting to participate in the "Little Chuanlu"!

…………

There are many halls in the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Palace, and each hall has a special purpose. The daily task of the Great Song official family is to move around several halls.

The Great Song Dynasty was held in the Daqing Palace, the reception of foreign guests was in the Zichen Palace, and the reception of court officials or foreign ministers was in the Vertical Arch Palace, and this Jiying Hall was specially used to receive candidates for the imperial examination.

Compared with the grand ceremony, the whole process of this "small ceremony" is extremely quiet, there is no guard of honor, no music, and no loud call of someone's name.

Before the audience, the names of the top ten jinshi had been written on the green head. When the official family is ready to start this "little biography", the official of the Ministry of Rites will hold the green head sign, bow down and walk to the official throne in small steps, and present it to the official family. Then, according to the roll call of the officials, the named tributes were summoned in turn to meet them.

The audience of these tribute scholars, who were about to become the top jinshi, was also very short. Because this "little heirloom" is actually the official family to look at their manners. Therefore, this audience only needs to let the officials look at the faces of these new scholars and answer a few brief questions, such as their place of origin, age, and so on.

Then most of these new scholars will be encouraged by the official family and given a jade belt. This jade belt of reward is the signal of the end of this "little preaching" visit.

After the previous one retreats, the official calls the next one, and the whole process will not last more than half an hour.

The official held a green sign with their names written on it, and finally confirmed which of the ten people could win the first prize, as well as the ranking of the next nine. If there is no accident in the introduction, most of the time the ranking is still based on the result of the marking.

…………

The order of the interview was based on the results of the previous marking before the opening of the seal.

Therefore, Zhong Hao naturally ranked last.

The tributes in front of them all went in quickly, and everyone stayed in it for less than a cup of tea, and then happily came out with a jade belt.

Zhong Hao guessed in his heart that he was the last to enter, and it was obviously very likely that he should be the tenth.

However, this top result in the second class is obviously extremely satisfactory to him, and he has no opinion on the last one to enter.

After the first nine people came out, Zhong Hao entered the Jiying Hall under the guidance of a small yellow door holding a dusty hand.

As soon as he entered the hall and stood still, Zhong Hao was busy following the etiquette taught by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and saluted the officials on the throne as if they were ceremonial.

Rao is Zhong Hao is from the next generation, and he lacks a sense of awe for the authority of this era, but there is still some strong pressure on the monarch of this country alone, and he can't help but tremble slightly. Of course, some of the reasons for this trembling are also caused by agitation.

Thinking about the future generations, he is just a flat-headed commoner, how can he have any chance to meet the country's top leader?! Well, of course I could have seen it then, but it was ...... In front of the TV. But there is simply no chance to stand alone in front of the country's top leaders.

And after coming to the Great Song Dynasty, under the misfortune of ghosts and gods, and by chance, I was able to talk to the officials of the Great Song Dynasty face to face and the opportunity to talk alone, thinking about it, I was indeed a little excited.

The official Zhao Zhen saw that Zhong Hao was a little nervous, and couldn't help but let him calm down.

At this time, Wang gradually asked Zhong Hao's name, age and place of origin.

Zhong Hao raised his head and looked at the official Zhao Zhen at this time, and saw that this official family of the Great Song Dynasty was indeed born with an extraordinary appearance, and the national character face was equipped with a pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes, which was very lofty. It's just that the face of this Great Song official looks a little vicissitudes, although the official family tries to strengthen his spirit, but he can still see his hidden tiredness.

This is also understandable, although Zhao Zhen, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, is only in his early forties now, he has been the emperor for more than 30 years. During this period, there were too many things that made him tired and sad in Da Song, and it is understandable that he was tired.

The reason why Zhong Hao raised his head to observe the official Zhao Zhen was because he thought that the officials of the Ministry of Rites had specially instructed him. On weekdays, the courtiers naturally bow their heads to show respect, but today's "little messenger" is to observe the demeanor of this tribute, and naturally they need to hold their heads up.

When Zhong Hao was observing the official family, the official family had also observed him, and he was quite satisfied with Zhong Hao. Of course, in fact, during the palace examination, the official family specially read his test paper and already knew him for a long time.

Zhao Zhen looked at the new science and technology scholar in front of him, and said with a gentle smile: "I have heard of your name for a long time!" ”

Zhong Hao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that the official family still remembered his name, obviously this time the official family specially reviewed his own test paper alone, it must have been because he had left a good impression on him before, which caused him to do this, this is Jane's performance in the emperor's heart.

However, Zhong Hao is also a person who has been an official for a few years and has gone through some things, and he still has some qi cultivation skills, although he is overjoyed in his heart at the moment, but his face is still very calm, and he bowed down and said: "The minister is afraid, and the cheap name is insulting to the saint!" ”

Zhao Zhen said gently: "Don't be too self-deprecating, I have always given you the credit for the potatoes and sweet potatoes that I have sacrificed here!" ”

In Zhao Zhen's view, the dedication of these two high-yield crops should definitely be rewarded. That time it was just a small title of a baron, which was really a bit low. However, although Zhong Hao was not rewarded that time, this Zhao Zhen has always remembered him in his heart, and the benefits of this Jane in the emperor's heart are actually not bad compared to those official positions and titles.

The reason why Zhao Zhen looked at Zhong Hao's test paper alone this time was naturally because Zhong Hao Jian was in the emperor's heart.

Speaking of which, if Zhao Zhen didn't look at Zhong Hao's test papers, and let other markers mark the papers, I am afraid that there would definitely not be such a high ranking.

Of course, Zhong Hao felt that he didn't care so much about this achievement.

Although the court's Zaifu, ruling and even high-ranking officials are all from the top of the first and second ranks, there are indeed many advantages to this high ranking. But Zhong Hao never thought that he would be able to dominate the court in the future, so he had to be that high-ranking official, he felt that he could live comfortably in the Great Song Dynasty, and he would be very content.

Zhong Hao felt that he didn't have so much energy to worry about the country's major affairs in the temple, and there were too many capable people in this era who were able to defy the sky, and it was not his turn, in case he became an enemy with some of them, maybe he would be abused very badly, so it was better to mix less.

Zhong Hao was also very happy to hear Zhao Zhen mention his contribution to the sacrifice of potatoes and sweet potatoes, but he still had to have the necessary modesty. At that moment, Zhong Hao bowed down and said: "This is all the duty of the minister, and it should be done." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "The duty of a courtier is true, but the reward of the court should also be there." It wasn't that I was stingy with the reward that time, but I was afraid that the reward would be too high for you, causing unnecessary targeting from others. ”

Zhong Hao felt that it was not bad that he could be awarded the title of Yincheng County baron, and that he could meet the conditions of his Taishan father-in-law, but he didn't think the reward was too low. However, looking at the meaning of the official family, he actually felt that the official position and title of rewarding him were a little too low, and it was not enough to reward his own merits, and he seemed to be faintly ashamed. And listening to the meaning of the officials, the reason why they don't reward themselves is to avoid unnecessary jealousy, and also for their own sake.

That's a good thing. It seems that the official family's impression of themselves is still very good.

At that time, Zhong Hao said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, no matter how Your Majesty rewards them, your subordinates are willing to do so." This is a bit of a sycophant, but Zhong Hao felt that it was difficult to photograph the official's sycophants in person, but he didn't feel embarrassed.

Zhao Zhen listened to Zhong Hao's words, obviously very useful, and said with a smile at the moment: "I have read your article, and I don't talk about those poems, but your strategy is really written in line with your heart." ”

"Shame on you!"

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, being talented is being talented. I am very optimistic about Zhong Qing! ”

"Panic!"

"Zhong Qing, are you married?"

Since Zheng Xiaohe, who came from Jingqiang Village, entered the palace and became the maid of Qinglanxuan, he has heard his daughter Zhao Jin mention Zhong Hao many times in Qinglanxuan, and it is obvious that his daughter's impression of him is very good. The official family looked at Zhong Hao today and became more and more satisfied, so he couldn't help but ask. But as soon as Zhao Zhen opened his mouth, he regretted it a little.

He also knew that in the Great Song Dynasty, anyone with a little ability, especially a literati, would definitely not be a princess, let alone these new scholars who had won the Jinshi and had a bright future.

The concubines of the Great Song Dynasty were generally selected from the disciples of the generals or the relatives of the emperor, and it was impossible for a literati with some skills to do this concubine. The Great Song Dynasty concubine could not serve as a real official, so he could only lead an idle life. Da Song Fan has some ability, but he is not willing to be able to be this colt, except for those who want to be decent, dignified and dignified for the rest of their lives, and just want to eat together.

Although he felt that Zhong Hao, as a new science and technology scholar, had a bright future in the future, he was afraid that he would definitely not agree with Princess Shang. However, as an official, he understands these things, but as a father, he hopes that his daughter can marry a wishful husband, so he still subconsciously asked.

Zhong Hao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the official family suddenly ask about his family, and then said in his heart: This official family won't want to find a marriage for himself, right? Of course, Zhong Hao didn't think that the official family was actually looking for a partner for his daughter. In the Great Song Dynasty, it was very important for a civil official with a jinshi background to marry a princess, but Zhong Hao didn't think about the princess at all, because it was basically impossible.

After Zhong Hao was stunned for a short time, he quickly returned to normal, and immediately bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has not yet married, but when he was in Qingzhou before, Fan Gong was the matchmaker, and the second lady of the rich minister's family made a marriage!" I'm planning to get married after the ceremony! ”

When Zhao Zhen heard Zhong Hao's answer, he was not surprised, but only a little disappointed, and when he heard Zhong Hao talk about Fan Zhongyan, his expression was obviously a little dark, obviously he still had some shame towards Fan Zhongyan. However, he was a person who had been an official of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 30 years, and the gloomy look on his face was only fleeting, and then he returned to normal.

At that moment, Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to have Fan Qing as a matchmaker, but your matchmaker is heavy enough." Hehe, when you get married in the future, I will also give you a congratulatory gift! ”

Zhong Hao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that the official family was going to send him a congratulatory gift, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank the official family!" ”

"Work hard in the future, I will never treat my courtiers badly, especially those who are capable and loyal."

Zhong Hao listened and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty must be loyal to your duties, loyal to the court, and loyal to the officials." ”

This audience is right here, and it is over.

Wang gradually took a jade belt from the wooden plate held by a small yellow door next to him and handed it to Zhong Hao.

Zhong Hao hurriedly held it with both hands, and thanked the official family again, and then left the Jiying Palace.
