Chapter 206: Conferring Officials (Middle) Asking for Subscriptions

The Imperial Talent Ceremony is undoubtedly the thing that the world pays the most attention to, not only the gentry and the common people, but also the royal family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After all, picking up talent is to use the world's talents, for what it does? This is naturally for the use of the Zhu family, so whether it is the past dynasties or dynasties, but all the imperial examinations are very important, there is a way to take the talent to settle for the people, an official from the child to the people, and then selected layer by layer until the top three, it is undoubtedly like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, it can be said that it is all the way through the pass, where to go back and forth if you are not careful, so there is "the most ruthless imperial examination, poor white-haired epitaph!" The eternal melancholy.

However, today's protagonists are these scholars who have jumped onto the Dragon Gate, and they only need to go through today's final ceremony to officially become officials of the Ming Dynasty, achieving the ultimate goal of all scholars.

According to the Zhou Li, the ceremony is solemn, and it is very particular about etiquette, personnel and even venues.

For example, since the beginning of the court meetings of the three dynasties and the previous dynasties, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the Taizu, stipulated the use of the three dynasties in the Ming Dynasty, and the Zhou rites had a record of three dynasties and five gates.

First of all, the three dynasties are the Outer Dynasty, the Zhi Dynasty and the Yan Dynasty.

The "Three Dynasties" are the Great Dynasty, the Permanent Dynasty, and the Japanese Dynasty, which are used to deal with special government affairs, major government affairs, or daily government affairs.

The five gates are Gaomen, Pheasant Gate, Kumen, Yingmen, and Road Gate.

The Forbidden City and the Five Gates of the Three Dynasties correspond to the Daming Gate, the Donghua Gate, the Duanmen, the Wumen Gate and the Taihe Gate, which are from the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, because of the different uses, the Ming Dynasty Chang Dynasty was in Taihe Gate, and in the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi began to move the Chang Dynasty to the Qianqing Gate, so that from the Qing Dynasty, the position of the five gates was from the Donghua Gate, and then the end door, the noon gate, the Taihe gate and the Qianqing gate! It is worth noting that this Donghua Gate was called Tiananmen by later generations.

Whether it is the Outer Dynasty or the Zhi Dynasty or the Yan Dynasty, there are many rules, which door to enter from, which door to exit, and the identity and order of the people who enter the door have strict standards.

Not only that, but there are actually three points in the Forbidden City, which are called the outer dynasty outside Tiananmen Square.

Within the noon gate is the ruling dynasty, which is the place where the emperor has daily court meetings and deals with the books on the chapters.

In addition, until the Qing Dynasty, the Yan Dynasty was within the Qianqing Gate. It is the place where the Son of Heaven and the concubine Yan live.

The main reason why Donghua Gate is favored by the world is because it was mainly used to hold ceremonies and issue decrees at that time, and to be admitted to the Jinshi to post the emperor's list outside Tiananmen Square!

Speaking of which, I have to talk about the "three dynasties".

After Qin Shi Huang unified the whole country, according to Zou Yan's "Five Virtues and Beginning Theory", he believed that Qin was the master of water. According to the "five elements" water line with the month of Hai (October) and the month of the child (November), so the decree is issued to October as the beginning of the year, and the "Great Dynasty Meeting" is scheduled to be held on the first day of the first month of the New Year, which is the origin of the Great Dynasty.

Subsequently, the Western Han Dynasty followed the old calendar of the Qin Dynasty in the early stage, and also took October as the beginning of the year. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang and his ministers did not understand the court. He then ordered the old official of the Qin Dynasty, Uncle Sun Tong, to consult the Qin Law to formulate the "Great Dynasty Meeting" ceremony of the Han Dynasty. The venue of the court meeting was originally in Changle Palace, and later changed to Weiyang Palace. When the Changle Palace was built in the seventh year of Han Gaozu, the "Great Dynasty Meeting" held here was recorded in the "Historical Records? The Biography of Uncle and Sun Tonglie". When the sky is slightly bright, the court will be led by the ceremonial officials to enter the palace gate according to their grades. In the palace, there are chariot cavalry guards and various flags and ceremonial objects, and the ceremonial officials are rumored to be "trending", and the civil and military officials are marching forward in order and in order, and they are arranged in shifts from east to west. Liu Bang was surrounded by the inner servants in the sound of bells and drums. At this time, all the officials from the princes and kings down to the officials of 600 stone were congratulated (contributed gifts). After the ceremony, the wine is placed, and the life is raised with respect and humility.

Until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed to Zhengshuo. With the first month of the year, the "Great Dynasty Meeting" was accordingly changed to the first day of the first month of the first month, after that, the successive dynasties followed, after the Song Dynasty, the dynasties still imitated the previous dynasty to carry out the "Great Dynasty Meeting" of the ceremony of the hundred officials and court clothes according to the ranks, and the people from all walks of life Xie Yuan also followed the crown and clothing ranked, and the states renamed by the "Chaoji Envoy" were "marching officials" who were dedicated.

In the Ming Dynasty, the "Great Dynasty Meeting" was set up by the brocade guard, and the teaching department displayed the great music. The Department of Etiquette displays documents, congratulatory tables, and tributes, and also sets up hundreds of officials to supervise those who love to doze off or talk to each other after standing for a long time. When the time comes, the emperor ascends to the throne. The drums sounded in unison, and the officials knelt down to congratulate them, and they saluted like a ritual. After the ceremony, the group shouted long live, long live.

The ceremony is actually the final day today, although the scale is grand but still not as good as the court, its specifications are slightly lower than the court, but it is a special ceremony to be higher than the regular meeting. Because it's a dictionary. Therefore, the etiquette is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the Jinyi Guard is responsible for the order.

As the so-called military attache rides a horse, the civil official sedan chair, although Yang Ming has not yet been awarded an official, but after all, he also has an official body, so Miaoyun helped him invite four sedan chair drivers early, and the sedan chair is a general four-lift sedan chair, although it is not how magnificent, but it is also good, only the sedan chair door is a huge Yang character woven by black thread, which is particularly eye-catching.

"Who made this? Isn't it a little too ostentatious? Yang Ming looked at the sedan chair, and was quite satisfied with the sedan chair, but the word Yang was a little too much, and he was still not a tribute, not to mention that he had not yet been awarded an official more or less to show off his meaning, so he asked Miaoyin next to him.

Yang Ming actually doesn't understand these things at all, although he is quite familiar with some political affairs, but he is really blind to these so-called rules, and he is more subjective in view of these things in addition to being at the mercy of others, so when he sees the car door, he is undoubtedly a little so-called empty-hearted.

At this time, Xia Yuhe had already stood on the edge of the sedan chair, and said to Yang Ming with a smile: "Son, where is this, what's wrong with this sedan chair?" The embroidery in front of the sedan car is a rule, and it is also convenient for you? ”

She saw that Yang Ming didn't understand, so she explained: "The embroidery in front is to distinguish the ownership of the sedan chair, for example, you are surnamed Yang, and the size of the sedan chair can distinguish your identity, and then secondly, there are many officials at the feet of the Son of Heaven, for example, you went to the official ceremony today, and the officials are all gathered together, and when you go to the next dynasty, there are hundreds of sedan chairs outside the Donghua Gate, can you find that the sedan chair is yours?" So the embroidered words on the front are not for show, if you don't believe it, when you go out, look at the sedan chairs of other officials, most of the words on them are like this, what red, green, black are ....."

Yang Ming nodded embarrassedly, he was really still a little white, just such a small sedan chair, he didn't expect that there was so much knowledge, and he was really taught.

"Ahem!" Blushing, Yang Ming got into the sedan chair in the eyes of the third girl.

"Third brother, Childe will trouble you!" Just as he was about to get up from the sedan chair, Yang Sandao was already wearing a brand-new nursing outfit and walked over, this was actually Xia Yuhe's explanation to the two daughters that Miaoyun had ordered, and when they saw Yang Sandao coming, the three girls couldn't help but tell again, after all, this time can be said to be Yang Ming's first day in officialdom, whether it is a very great day for him or for everyone.

"Yes!" Yang Sandao nodded solemnly, now he has long since lost the frivolous appearance of the past, since he came back and learned that Yang Ming has become a Tanhualang, he has always called himself Yang Ming's guard, whether it is words and deeds or demeanor are a lot more stable, he actually knows that this time to come to the capital is really the right one, not to mention that Yang Ming's birth is much higher than other Jinshi starting points, not to mention that there is a Qianbei next to him to explain. As an old oilman in the capital, he knows a lot of things, and he is also impressive.

For example, the first-class students directly entered the Hanlin Academy as an official, and there was no such thing as internship and study. The champion was awarded for revision, from the six grades. The list of eyes and flowers are awarded to the Hanlin Academy for editing, and it is seven products.

And there is a quota for Shu Jishi, generally according to the rules of Emperor Yongle, 28 are selected, including the number of the first class. Choose 25 of the top two and top three, and you have to take the exam. Later, some years were not selected strictly according to the number 28, each with its own special reasons.

Among them, after the internship of Shu Jishi, the excellent ones stayed in Hanlin, and the assessment was particularly excellent, and the general ones were reviewed, not written reviews, but official names, and they should be promoted after the assessment period expired. You see, the second and third grades will open up a gap with the first class. You must know that if the assessment is very mediocre, it will take nine years to be promoted, and with the internship time, ten years will not be as good as the champion.

Those who did not stay in the Hanlin Academy went to various ministries to observe the government, just like other Jinshi who did not enter the Hanlin Academy. Anyway, there is no time limit for this view of politics. It doesn't have to be that the people who come out of the Jiji are taller than others.

Jinshi view of politics, is an internship, excellent for a year and a half there is a real shortage of office, Jinshi view of politics, the best way out is to give six subjects, thirteen imperial history, a little bit of the six masters, and then a little bit of other departments idle, and then followed by going out of Beijing to do seven officials, the county, the county Cheng have, poor learning, this life is generally mixed to the five products on the top of the sky.

And Yang Ming's situation is a little special, although he is a first-class Jinshi and the first, but he was set to be released from the inside to the county, according to the above point of view, it is naturally equivalent to being put on small shoes, but Yang Ming's ability is very clear to everyone, as for the appointment of the county magistrate, it is just a formality, as long as he does a good job in this county, it will immediately be a good step and be reused by the imperial court, so don't look at it as just a small seven-grade county order, even if it is not bad at all compared to the champion, and even exceeded.

It can be seen that the bigwigs in the court and Jiajing have expectations for Yang Ming, and as long as he Yang Sandao follows Yang Ming, with the continuous rise of Yang Ming's status, then his status will naturally rise, especially for him and the other two brothers, they used to be just a prankster who everyone hated, and they originally went to the capital to accompany Yang Ming to take the exam, although they also held the hope of Yang Ming becoming an official, but now that Yang Ming has truly become Tanhua, the joy and hope for the future in their hearts make him unprecedentedly eager.

And the most important thing is that Yang Ming has been in the flowers, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, but all Jinshi have a holiday to go home and save their relatives, this holiday is about two months or so, and the so-called return to the hometown is like this, so they ......
