Chapter 248: The Young Man Who Watched the Election of Officials
According to the Ming system, the first three people were directly awarded officials, and the elite was selected from the second class to enter the Hanlin Academy for further study. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As for the rest of the Jinshi, they will go to various ministries and temples to observe the government, which is actually an internship.
Only after the new science and technology jinshi has carried out the process of observing politics can he be regarded as completing the official selection process and can be awarded by the ministry.
And Wang Shouwen and Wang Xiaolangjun's place to observe the government is in Wensi Academy.
According to the records of the official records, the main responsibility of the Wensi Academy is to make gold, silver, rhino jade, and exquisite things, as well as gold and painting ornaments, for the use of public opinion, treasures, and legal objects.
Wang Shouwen was assigned to this yamen to observe politics, which has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that the Wensi Institute is not a noble yamen, and the competitive pressure is small, as long as the mud is not up to the wall, most of the officials can be elected to stay in the Ministry of Industry after observing the government. And dignitaries such as the household department, the official department, and the general political envoy, even if they are sent by the imperial court to observe and inspect the government, most of them will be squeezed out by competitors in the end. Unless the background is really hard enough, it is possible to stay in Beijing.
Needless to say, the difference in the status of the Beijing officials and the local officials is not to be mentioned.
For Wang Shouwen, the ranking of the palace examination is not outstanding, and being able to stay in Beijing is the top priority, and it doesn't matter whether the yamen is noble or not.
If you are still picking fat and thin at such a time, you will really be kicked in the head by a donkey.
The distance from Hanlin Temple to Wensiin Temple further east is not short. When the sedan chair landed in front of the Wensi Academy, officials had already walked out of the official office one after another.
Xie Shen observed carefully, and most of the old fritters in the officialdom came out, and none of the newcomers like Wang Shouwen came out.
It's okay, it's okay......
Xie Shen let out a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, after the tea, Wang Shouwen walked out of the office with a haggard face, and was about to get into the sedan chair to return home, but was stopped by Xie Shen beckoning: "Brother Shouwen, come to me!" ”
Wang Shouwen sighed, and when he saw that it was indeed Xie Shen in the sedan chair, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Brother Shenxian, why are you here. Shouldn't you be compiling historical materials at the Hanlin Academy? ”
Wang Shouwen's voice was as loud as thunder, so frightened that Xie Shen waved his hand again and again: "What are you doing with such a loud voice, are you afraid that people won't hear it?" ”
Wang Xiaolangjun realized that it was very unreasonable for Xie Shen to appear outside the Wensi Academy at this time, and said meaningfully: "Brother Shenxian, you are not ......"
Xie Shen rolled his eyes and said, "It's not for you, get on the sedan chair." ”
Wang Shouwen hesitated for a moment, but still waved his hand to signal his sedan chair man to go back to the house first, and he took three steps and two steps to get into Xie Shen's sedan chair.
"Young Master, where are you going now?"
Xie Shen said lightly: "Go to Xie Mansion." ”
"Which Xie Mansion?"
"Naturally, it's Xie Shi's house."
Now that the dust has settled, Xie Qian, as the chief examiner of the examination and the examiner of the palace examination, can finally avoid suspicion.
Xie Shen was naturally the most suitable to visit Xie Qian at this time.
Xie Qian's current mansion is in Nanxunfang.
There is a reason why Xie Qian set his mansion in Dongcheng, where there are many merchants.
Originally, the mansion of the Xie family was in the Guangji Temple of Mingyufang, because Hongzhi was ordered by the emperor to enter the cabinet to participate in government affairs in the eighth year, so the new house of Nanxunfang was purchased.
This house has the advantage of being next to the Donghua Gate.
And it is extremely convenient to enter the Forbidden City from Donghua Gate to the cabinet.
Xie Qian is also an elderly person now, so he naturally has to consider the problem of commuting to work.
When today's son is the Holy Monarch and the Lord, it is unacceptable to arrive late and leave early, so Xie Qian will buy such a house nearby, and the right to go to work nearby.
After such a toss, the sedan chair drivers were about to jump to scold their mothers.
When the little brother ordered the sedan chair, he clearly said that he could go from Hanlin Courtyard to Xicheng Xu Mansion, why did he go back and forth twice?
No, this time you have to ask for a price increase.
What about the lord of the Hanlin Temple? The lord of the Hanlin Academy has to give money for a sedan chair, is it possible that the master of the Hanlin Academy can repay the debt?
What was originally a road of three or five miles has become more than ten or twenty miles, and anyone has to complain.
Xie Shen naturally didn't know what the palanquin man was thinking.
He only felt that the sedan chair was shaking more and more, and it was getting more and more shaky, making people dizzy.
Finally, the sedan chair fell, and Xie Shen let out a sigh of relief.
If you continue to shake like this, you will have to vomit blood.
As for Wang Shouwen, it was no better, so he shook his head helplessly, saying that this was the worst sedan chair he had ever made, and he would definitely introduce some reliable sedan chair drivers to Xie Shen when he had the opportunity.
didn't mention it, but said that the two got off the sedan chair and went straight to Xie Qian's house.
This house was purchased for Xie Qian's convenience in commuting, so it is not too big, and his inner family members are also in the old house of Mingyufang in the west of the city, and he did not follow Xie Qian to this new house.
Xie Shen stepped forward and knocked on the door, the one who came to open the door was a man who was about forty years old, the last time we met Xie Shen ate a closed door at his place, this time naturally I can't lose face again.
Coughing, Xie Shen stepped forward and said, "In the Lower Hanlin Cultivation, Xie Shen will meet Master Xie, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy." ”
The reason why he called Xie Qian a scholar instead of Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi is also a talker.
After all, Xie Shen is now a cultivator of the Hanlin Academy, and Xie Qian is equivalent to his boss, and when he comes to meet his boss as a subordinate, Xie Qian has no reason to refuse.
And if Xie Shen came to see Xie Qian in a private capacity, Xie Qian could prevaricate with other reasons.
Among them is the art of speaking, and the understanding of the rules of officialdom.
That disciple is also a person who has seen the world, and naturally knows that only Zhuangyuanlang can serve as a Hanlin cultivator. Didn't his own master win the champion back then, and was awarded the official position of Hanlin Xiu by the imperial front.
The young man in front of him is even younger than his own master.
It is really a generation of talents, each leading the way for hundreds of years.
"This little Langjun is ......"
That Menzi's gaze fell from Xie Shen to Wang Shouwen again, and he hesitated.
"This is the same year as Xie, Wang Ri talks about the son of Lord Wang."
Xie Shen's introduction dispelled Menzi's suspicions. Although Wang Huawang's official position is not high, he is also a fellow villager of his own master, and he is also the champion, so there is naturally no reason for his son not to report when he comes to visit.
"The two sons and wait, the little old man will go and say goodbye."
"That's how it should be."
Xie Shen smiled and nodded, and let the man enter the mansion.
Wang Shouwen frowned and said, "Brother Shenxian, this old man really has a lot of things. It would be nice if Brother Pi Xian was also there, saving a lot of stumbling. ”
"Who told Brother Pi Xian to fall to the old man of the Ministry of Slaughter. Don't think it's easy to watch politics in the ministry. ”
Xie Shen didn't say nonsense. The Ministry of Officials was originally the busiest department of the six departments, and Tu Tu, a workaholic, became the new Shangshu, so the four subordinate divisions did not want to have a good life.
