After the official award, there are three procedures, the first is to go to the Confucian Temple, the "release of the vegetable ceremony", the so-called release of the vegetable ceremony, that is, to the Confucian Temple, to worship Confucius, Yanzi, Zengzi, Sizi, Mencius, these are the ancestors of the scholars. The second is to participate in the grace banquet given by the emperor, and the third is to set up a monument inscription for the undergraduate Jinshi by the Ministry of Engineering.

Among the three procedures, the first two are very important, and as for the inscription of the monument, it is enough to be present.

It is a very solemn activity to go to the Confucian Temple to perform the "Liberation Ceremony", which is not allowed to talk to each other, not to make a sound, and to worship according to the requirements of the abbot of the temple. You must know that the knowledge that everyone learns is created by these old gentlemen, and the descendants of Confucius have always been enshrined as the Holy Duke of Yan and enjoy the treatment of the second grade.

In this process, Su Tiancheng was still a little cautious, and followed everyone to kneel and worship, anyway, on the tablet, there are dead people, and the dead are big, and kowtowing to worship is not a big deal.

The time to be truly active is the Grace Banquet.

Enrong Banquet, formerly known as Qionglin Banquet, can participate in this banquet are all students who are the top three students in the palace examination.

Su Tiancheng followed everyone, after arriving at the Ministry of Rites, the banquet had not yet begun, everyone stood in place and waited, it seemed a little casual at this moment, and the officials of Honglu Temple would not particularly remind them, everyone can speak, just don't make loud noises.

Wu Weiye came to his side.

Su Tiancheng had long expected that Wu Weiye must have wanted to talk to him, rushing to those two poems, not to mention being sent to Jiangning County to serve as the magistrate.

"Brother Su, oh, Lord Su, why did you go to Jiangning County?"

Wu Weiye's face was obviously unconvinced.

Su Tiancheng was still a little moved, Wu Weiye obviously cared about himself, thinking that he had encountered some unspoken rules, he was obviously going to enter the Hanlin Academy, but he was released, this is the arrangement of the second-class jinshi and the third-class jinshi, besides, he is the leader, and he can directly enter the sixth department and the metropolitan inspection institute if he is the worst.

"Brother Wu, thank you for your concern, the imperial court has appointed, I will follow the holy decree, in fact, it is also very good to be released, at least be free, think about it, stay in the capital, every move must be paid special attention to, the officials of Honglu Temple, have taught so much, I can't remember, I don't need to remember it."

"Brother Su, I mean seriously, why do you want to release you, according to your knowledge, even if you are a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, it is okay, let alone editing."

"Brother Wu, I'm also serious, after a while, you will understand, release is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Well, I've also thought about it, in the Hanlin Academy, at most one year, I also applied for release, to be honest, I really want to learn from you, but unfortunately I don't have such an opportunity."

"Brother Wu is in the Hanlin Academy, by the emperor's side, and is always with many adults to discuss the government, if you have the opportunity, don't forget me, a brother who lives in the county."

If there are no scruples between two readers, there are no scruples about speaking, and they are all vernacular, which means that the relationship between the two is no longer ordinary.

"Brother Su, don't say that, as far as your talent is concerned, you will return to the capital soon, today's audience is really refreshing, the two poems you composed, I don't know how to comment on the Dao, there are talents in the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years, I am ready to follow you to mess around, in the future you will be the leader, let me dip a little."

"Ha Luha, we are sorry for each other, we can agree today, he must take care of each other in the future."

"In a word, if it weren't for the different occasions here, I would have thought about marrying Jinlan with you."

Chen Yutai was standing not far away, and he had already seen Su Tiancheng and Wu Weiye smiling and speaking in a low voice, obviously what the two said was very speculative.

Around him, there are some second-class and third-class jinshi and jinshi, of course, most of them are fellow villagers, and among the third-class jinshi, southerners still occupy the majority.

Chen Yutai was slightly uncomfortable, although it was said that Su Tiancheng was released, and it would be difficult to have any impact on him in the future, but when he met the emperor today, the scenery was taken up by Su Tiancheng, and he became a foil instead.

Besides, among the students, there is already some discussion, the key is that the relationship between himself and Zhou Yanru and Chen Yuting has become the most suspicious thing for everyone, if Su Tiancheng's knowledge is slightly inferior, the discussion will not be so sharp.

Although he is thirty-six years old, he can fight for a breath and suddenly encounter these things, Chen Yutai has an unusual temperament, and he is a little unbearable.

In just a few hours, his views on Su Tiancheng and Wu Weiye have changed a lot.

This has to be said to be a kind of helplessness, the ceremony of the palace test has not completely ended, and there has been a separation between the champion and the list of eyes and Tanhua, and it is not a small diaphragm.

Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren and other cabinet ministers also slowly came over.

A large number of students are naturally welcomed.

Su Tiancheng kept his head down, he didn't think about looking at Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren's expressions.

Zhou Yanru paused in front of him for a while.

Su Tiancheng had to raise his head, and when he saw Zhou Yanru's expression, he felt a little chilled.

When Zhou Yanru looked at him, he had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, on the contrary, there was a hint of scrutiny and anger.

Wen Tiren also paused for a moment.

Wen Tiren's eyes were full of smiles, but this kind of smile had a perfunctory meaning.

As for the other cabinet ministers, including the six Shangshu and the Zuodu Imperial History, their eyes were a little strange.

Su Tiancheng's heart chuckled.

Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren performed differently, this is by no means for no reason, it is very likely that in the matter of their own assignment as officials, the two of them suffered differently, and Bangyan was not able to enter the Hanlin Academy directly, but went directly to the county, which is a rare arrangement in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhou Yanru is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he has enough trust from the emperor, and the identity of the first assistant of the cabinet prompts him to support the law of his ancestors, and everything is done according to the rules.

Between Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru, there is an ongoing game.

Su Tiancheng didn't have to think about it, he knew that Wen Tiren must have supported his release.

The final result was that he was released, which shows that Wen Tiren has won.

Su Tiancheng also knew that soon after, Wen Tiren would impeach Zhou Yanru because of Chen Yutai's high school champion, thinking that Zhou Yanru was favoritism and buried talents.

His performance in the Taihe Palace, everyone is watching it, if Wen Tiren makes a big fuss about this matter, what will the emperor think.

Su Tiancheng shook his head, he couldn't control these things, he would develop how his love developed.

He has to be released as an official, and if he stays in the capital, the trouble will be even greater.

Anyway, after crossing, it is ready to meet many challenges, such things, in the future, there will always be a way to solve it, and the living can not be suffocated by urine.

The pomp and circumstance of the Enrong banquet was not big, which was expected by Su Tiancheng, Zhu Youzhen was already short of silver, and the ginseng in the palace was sold and subsidized to the treasury, how could it be a lavish banquet.

But the momentum of the Enrong banquet is still there.

After all, this is a feast, the officials of Honglu Temple have already made arrangements, the band is on the side, non-stop music, the ministers of the imperial court above the third grade, as well as many officials of the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian, under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, sat at the banquet.

When the emperor arrived, it was the most lively, and everyone didn't have to salute, they all stood and waited for the emperor to take a seat.

After the emperor sits down, everyone will be seated.

The emperor participated in the Enrong banquet, expressing the importance of learning, a separate table, separated from everyone at a distance, as for the rest of the civil and military ministers and Jinshi with Jinshi, although it is also a small table per person, but they are all leaning together.

On the left of Su Tiancheng is Huang Ruliang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and on the right is Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

On the left side of Chen Yutai is Min Hongxue, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and on the right is Bi Ziyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and on the two sides of Wu Weiye, they are Hu Yingtai, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Cao Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Cabinet ministers are at the front.

This arrangement is also painstaking, and only the three people who test the first three of the palace are arranged in the middle of the six Shangshu, and as for the second-class jinshi and the third-class fellow jinshi, the position is behind.

When Zhu Youzhen raised his glass, everyone was standing, this is a royal wine, and it is generally not drinkable, let alone such a grand occasion.

The entire Enrong banquet, Zhu Youzhen drank, that is, such a glass of wine.

Everyone didn't drink much, and in this process, the three people who tried the first armor of the palace were to represent many Jinshi and toast the first assistant, the second assistant, and the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, as well as the imperial envoys of the six Shangshu and the Imperial Inspectorate.

Those celebrities at the end of the Ming Dynasty had begun to appear, and at this time, he felt that he had really begun to integrate into the Ming Dynasty.

Su Tiancheng drank a lot of wine, drank a lot of liquor, and his face still did not change color.

However, Chen Yutai and Wu Weiye were both full of red light, with proud expressions, revealing a look of ambition.

As for the rest of the second-class jinshi and the third-class fellow jinshi, they are also allowed to drink in large quantities.

Su Tiancheng has always been worried, Zhu Youzhen should not have nothing to do, at this time, suddenly issued a holy decree, asking him to continue to compose poems, then he can't wait to jump off the building, plagiarism is also limited, every plagiarism is a psychological burden, it is always someone else's things, when he takes it, it seems that he has stolen something, and he always feels uncomfortable.

Fortunately, during the whole banquet, there were no waves, and nothing happened.
