Chapter 637: Shi Cai Li (II)

Ma Heng came up with a strong wording, and in the ears of the Jinshi, it was almost like a fart. Eighty-one? Chinese ≈=≤.=8=1≈Z=≠.COM

No matter how powerful you Ma Heng is, he is always just a bachelor of the Temple of Literature, we are officials in the imperial court, can you control us?

Although Ma Heng is already a high-ranking figure in the Confucian Temple in the capital, he has never been able to win the greatest respect of the scholars, he wants to put on a shelf, but no one pays attention to him.

Among them, there are still people who are worried that if their Jinshi literary name is not decided, then what should they do, fortunately, they feel that they still have a way out, it is a big deal to be a civil servant in the court, and they will not do things in the Confucian Temple.

There are no people here, there is a place to keep people.

Ji Ning was at the front of the team, and he didn't say anything, he was one of the very few people present who was determined to enter the Temple of Literature, even if he had this ambition among others, he didn't have Ji Ning's talent and fame, Ji Ning was a Dingjia Jinshi, if he wanted to enter the Hanlin Academy, he would enter the Hanlin Academy, and if he wanted to enter the Confucian Temple, he would enter the Confucian Temple.

"Everyone, please!" After Ma Heng finished saying what he had to say, he still showed a relatively polite attitude and invited many Jinshi to enter the main hall of the Confucian Temple to carry out sacrificial activities.

Although the release of the dish ceremony in this era has been regarded as the largest sacrifice to the Temple of Literature, but because that day is the day of the Jinshi to determine the name of the text, some rituals are still the province of the province, said to be the release of the vegetable ceremony, in fact, to many saints and ancestors to worship, in addition to seasonal vegetables, there are also wine and some grains, and even incense and articles.

Whether the article is good or not, we must always show it to the saints and the ancestors first, even if these people have passed away, they can still be their spirit.

After the ceremony began, the choirs came out, and these choirs were actually children raised in the Temple of Literature, ranging in age from twelve or thirteen to seventeen or eighteen, and they looked very young, and their voices must have been very good, and they were responsible for some of the ceremonial praise of the sacrificial activities of the Confucian Temple.

In addition to the choirs, there were also some strong men, and their task was to move some wine troughs, tables, chairs, benches, and other objects, as well as some baskets of seasonal vegetables and fruits, for the Jinshi to use.

Before entering the main hall of the Confucian Temple, Jinshi needs to bring a few things into it, and they need to be offered to the saints and ancestors, and they can't be worshiped casually, and there are rules on which side everyone is enshrined.

It is divided into Dongzhe, Xizhe, Dongyu, Xiyu, etc., everyone is on one side, and after the worship is over, they have to visit the ancestor on the other side, and as for the saints, they are all in the right position, and they need to wait for the end of the Shicai ceremony to go to worship, and after the end of the Shicai ceremony, they also have to pay homage to the saints, which is to prepare for the name of the text after that.

Ji Ning entered the main hall of the Confucian Temple in the capital for the first time, and this is also a place where few others have the opportunity to set foot except for the Jinshi and the people of the Confucian Temple.

Those children and strong men, even if they are from the Temple of Literature, are not qualified to enter this kind of place, and even the daily cleaning and care of this place need to be completed by the apprentices and bachelors in the Temple of Literature, Ji Ning expected that if he entered the Temple of Literature in the future, this kind of work would not be able to run.

In any yamen, bullying newcomers is a normal situation.

"The release ceremony begins!" A chanter began the summoning of the Feast of Food, and it was very impolite for all the jinshi to stand in various parts of the Temple of Literature and take their things to worship the ancestors and saints, so they needed to put down their things first.

Ji Ning, as the champion, he and Gu Yuming and Xu Jiangming were responsible for offering seasonal vegetables to the saints and Yasheng, and the three of them put down the vegetables on their hands, and there were already trainee scholars next to them to give instructions, so that the three of them could return to their positions, and prepare to exchange places for a while, and then go to worship many ancestors.

In the Temple of Literature, the famous Confucians of all dynasties, or those who have the title of scholar or above, may be listed among the ancestors of the Temple of Literature, and the portraits, bronze statues, and tablets of these people will be put up, and there will be many vacancies in the Temple of Literature in the capital, and these vacancies are prepared for the "first teachers" of the present or future generations.

There are very few sub-saints and saints on the side, and they don't even deliberately prepare seats, Ji Ning specially paid attention to the statue of the saint Confucius, which is the largest in the Temple of Literature, and he knows that in the Temple of Literature, this is the supreme existence, and he has never had the opportunity to live with Confucius in his life. Even if he had this ability, others would not approve of him unless he could create a new school of scholarship to replace Confucius.

……

……

The release ceremony is in progress.

Ji Ning walked around the Temple of Literature and worshiped all the ancestors, saying that it was worshipping, but in fact, it was a salute, and no one would care if there was respect for the ancestors in his heart.

Ji Ning is also the most carefully observed among everyone, Gu Yuming and Xu Jiangming have no intention of entering the Temple of Literature, that is to say, among the three hundred jinshi, the person who has passed the Dingjia examination and is sure to enter the Temple of Literature is the only one, the main hall of the Temple of Literature is likely to be the entrance of his future errand, so he can't help but observe carefully.

Originally, Tang Xie and Han Yu wanted to come over and say a few words, but unfortunately the position that everyone moved was certain, and they didn't have a chance to come over to say hello for the time being.

When the release ceremony was almost over, when he was about to bow to the saint and the sub-saint, Tang Xie still had the intention of leaning towards Ji Ning, but unfortunately he was stopped by the apprentice who maintained order among them.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "Ziqian is looking for me to say something, but he can't even care about the end of the food ceremony?" ”

The ceremony finally ends after the prostrations to many saints and ancestors, and all the seasonal vegetables will be placed here for a period of time before being removed by the people of the Temple of Literature.

At this time, a few apprentices came in, several of them were the Jinshi who only joined the Temple of Literature in the past two years, although they were young, they seemed to be thirty or forty years old, after they arrived at the Temple of Literature, they also started from miscellaneous things, although there were many people in the Temple of Literature, they did not need to do things on weekdays, but in the main hall of the Temple of Literature, even if it was a matter of moving and lifting, it was necessary to have the name of the Jinshi first.

Ma Heng came out and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the release ceremony is over, what is about to be carried out is the name of the Dan book. You are all from the people's background, and you must have participated in the ceremony of lifting people's fixed names before, and the fixed name of Jinshi is slightly different from the name of lifting people's fixed documents, and then someone comes out to make an example, and you will be clear. Who is the champion of this year? ”

After Ma Heng finished speaking, some people present were snickering.

In the eyes of the scholars, the champion is already very beautiful, but it turns out that a university scholar doesn't even know who the champion is, which is also very embarrassing.

Anyway, it's not them who are ashamed, they are gloating.
