Chapter 59
In the Ming Dynasty, there were certain requirements for the appearance of officials.
First of all, you can't be disabled, which is understandable, even in modern society, a disabled person has a lot of work that is inconvenient to do, and in previous years, even hepatitis B carriers could not be civil servants.
What is even more outrageous than this is that when a certain province admits female civil servants, it also stipulates that the ru-room must be symmetrical, which is a bit ridiculous and simply an insult to the personality of the female surname.
The Ming Dynasty was a centralized political axe, but because of the relationship between the wisdom of the people and the speed of information transmission, the central political axe's decrees could be issued to the county level. At the grassroots level below the county level, the clan was in charge, and in many cases the political axe was only responsible for guidance and education.
When there are local matters, most of them are handled by the patriarch himself, and when he can't deal with them, he reports them to the county yamen.
Therefore, the county officials are often nothing more than a symbol of political power, a dignity of the imperial court.
If it is too ugly to be respected, it will inevitably damage the majesty of the government.
You can imagine what it would be like if the county magistrate looked like Ge You.
Therefore, when the officials are electing officials, they are very concerned about the appearance of the elected officials, and there is also a guidance document similar to a manual.
The top grade of the official's appearance is the first to recommend the word "country", which is majestic and upright, and has official authority; The second is the face of the word "eye", in which the facial features are elegant and handsome, and there is affinity; The worst is the "gold" shape, small at the top and big at the bottom, but wearing a black gauze hat can also cover up the ugliness.
As for the big top and small bottom, the sharp-beaked monkey gills, and even the jujube kernel face with small ends and a large middle can't be used.
It's funny to say, according to legend, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has a peculiar appearance, high cheekbones, a protruding forehead, and a land-covered sky, a typical "Five Mountains Chaotian", but he is the emperor, the chairman of the Ming Empire, without any employment pressure, and is not under the management of the human resources department of the Ministry of Officials.
Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, most of the people who could be big officials were beautiful men. Xie Jin in the early years, Li Dongyang. Today's Yan Song, and later Zhang Juzheng, are all good-looking, elegant and graceful. As for today's first minister, Lu Bing, is the first handsome guy in the Ming Dynasty, and the history books record that this person is similar to a crane, which shows that he has the figure of a model.
In fact, with Wu Jie's previous appearance, no matter how powerful the exam is, he will pass all the way and get the reputation of Jinshi, it is very likely that he will be sent to the local magistrate for several times because of the thin and small tuberculosis ghost body, and this life will be like this.
Fortunately, dreams and reality interact with each other, and as the real world gradually fades away, it eventually disappears, and he will inherit the body of modern society in its entirety. In addition, he has a prescient sense of history, and there may not be a day when he will not be developed in the future.
Moth didn't know this, she was just a little scared at first, the young master's body shape and appearance had changed so much, because she stayed with him every day, but she didn't notice it. If it continues like this, it won't take a few years before it becomes a different story.
Thinking of this, she remembered that the young master suddenly changed from a fool to a famous talent in Sichuan a while ago, and she almost suspected that the young man in front of her was a demon reborn.
"The young master is my only relative in this world, even if he becomes a pig and a dog, I have to follow him."
"What's more, now that he's become so promising, shouldn't I be happy?"
"People say that a man who is seventeen or eighteen years old is what he looks like when he is tall. Wasn't the young master sick before, but now that he has recovered and his family life is better, he naturally has to change. Moth, moth, aren't you happy for the young master? ”
sat beside Wu Jie for more than an hour.
After thinking about it, Moth suddenly became happy.
After tossing for most of the night, the moth was already a little tired and was about to go back to the house to rest, but at this time, the sound of beating the watch sounded outside, and it was already time.
When I pushed the window, I saw that there were still many rooms in the inn with lights on.
It turned out that there were also a few children in this inn who came to the provincial capital to take the exam. These children are old and young, and a while ago I heard that Wu Jie also came to the same year for the exam, and they still have the heart to get close.
But as soon as they saw that the people who were in contact with Wu Jie were either prefects or celebrities like Yang Zongzhi, knowing that they did not belong to that circle, they all retreated in awe, not daring to disturb Mr. Wu Shizhen.
I was about to enter the exam room at dawn, but there were still people reviewing their homework, and there was even a suppressed cry from an old boy, and I didn't know what they were crying about?
When Mozi heard these whimperings, he was sad and thought at the same time: "Fortunately, the young master is full of splendor, don't worry about the imperial examination, otherwise it will be me who is crying today." ”
She felt a thrill in her heart, and when she tried the test in the Kefu Palace, she needed to go over an hour in advance to order it, and then line up to enter the examination room.
Now is the time of the child, and there is still more than an hour, and now go to sleep, and if you can't get up later, won't you miss something?
Startled, Mozi immediately broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly patted his face with cold water, lifted his spirits and walked out of the room, and went to the room to prepare breakfast for his young master.
After baking a few cakes, preparing the four treasures of the study and the examination basket for Wu Jie, and opening a bowl of green tea, more than an hour passed.
Look at Wu Jie lying on the bed again, he has already snored earth-shatteringly.
It turned out that Wu Jie forgot yesterday that today is the day to enter the examination room, drank too much wine, suffered a little wind, his mouth and nose were clogged, and his snoring sounded like a mountain.
Moth hurriedly stepped forward and shouted Wu Jie a few times, but there was no way to wake him up anyway. I pulled his arm with my hand again, but Wu Jie has grown much stronger recently, and how can he pull it.
Hurriedly ran to the yard to call Xiao Er, and asked if he could ask him to hire a sedan chair to come over.
Xiao Er was sweeping the yard with a broom, he was a little embarrassed, and replied that in the middle of the night, where could he still invite someone.
Mozi's heart was anxious, his eyes were red, and he paused and said: "This government test is related to the future of the son, this, this, how should this be good?" ”
Xiao Er: "Don't worry, I have a way." ”
After speaking, he put down the broom and rushed into the house, said that he was offended, pulled Wu Jie up and carried it on his back, and ran away.
"Wait for me." Moth hurriedly took the test basket and chased after him.
This bump woke Wu Jie up. He opened his eyes full of and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”
"I'm going to enter the exam room." Moth was angry: "Why did you wake up?" ”
Wu Jie was a little embarrassed, he was used to working from 9 to 5, and he really couldn't get up. It seems that I will have to adjust my biological clock in the future: "Moth, why don't you wake me up?" ”
"You still say that I sleep like a dead pig, and I can't wake up."
"Then you whip me with your hand, if it really doesn't work, pour it with cold water." Wu Jie deliberately teased the little girl.
"How dare I, you are my young master."
Xiao Er laughed out loud when he heard it next to him, and Wu Jie patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Er, thank you." ”
"I can't afford it, I can't afford it, it's an honor for the villain to carry Mr. Wu into the examination room." Xiao Er was a little proud: "Wu Xianggong, I heard that you are my No. 1 talent in Sichuan, and you will be a jinshi in the future." What is Jinshi, that is the Wenqu star in the sky. The villain has even memorized the stars in the sky, which is also a good blessing. ”
"Hey, let me down, let me down." Wu Jie struggled.
Xiao Er: "Wu Xianggong, you sit tight, you are about to reach the ground." Then he lowered his head and ran violently, and in a blink of an eye, he ran to Chengdu Fuxue.
All the candidates in Chengdu came, and in addition to people or people, the total number was at least thousands.
