On March 21, all the new scholars came to the official department, and the next step was the official ceremony, after the official ceremony, the three-year imperial examination, all the ceremonies were over.

The rules of the Ministry of Officials are clear, the ceremony of awarding officials is held in the Qianqing Palace, generally after the end of the early dynasty, the emperor according to the edict prepared by the Ministry of Rites, announced that the new branch of the Jinshi will be awarded, and those who can be awarded the official and enter the Qianqing Palace are only the champions of the first class, the eyes of the list and the flowers, the champions were awarded the Hanlin revision, and the eyes and the flowers were awarded the Hanlin editors, as for the rest of the second and third class Jinshi, they are purely to accompany the prince to study, and then come to the Qianqing Palace, and they cannot enter the palace and wait outside. After the first three jinshi were awarded, they knelt down and saluted, and after thanking the emperor Longen, they withdrew from the Forbidden City.

Of course, the second class jinshi is also very fast, most of them are awarded the Hanlin Shu Jishi, the time is delayed by four to five days at most, the third class of the jinshi, it depends on their own ability, if they can make good friends with the teacher, it is also possible to become the Hanlin Yuan Jishi, or stay in the capital, enter the six departments, the capital inspection institute and other places, become the eight officials of the grade, the relationship is not good, most of them are sent abroad, to the place, then you have to wait for the official department to confer the official, this time is not accurate, maybe about a month.

Zheng Xunrui and others followed the officials to the Qianqing Gate, and after the officials of the Ministry of Officials reported the Jinyi guards guarding outside, they led everyone through the Qianqing Gate.

Everyone was waiting outside the Qianqing Palace, and the early dynasty was over at this time.

A quarter of an hour later, a eunuch stood outside the palace gate and shouted loudly.

"Xuanxin Kejin Zheng Xunrui, Chen Yutai, Yang Tingshu met with ......"

Zheng Xunrui and the other three who heard the voice, under the gaze of many jinshi, hurriedly walked towards the Qianqing Palace, at this time, there were no officials with them, after all, the situation was different, it should be time for them to decide the etiquette by themselves.

Entering the Qianqing Palace, the three of them could only kneel down honestly before they had time to see the emperor sitting on the imperial chariot.

In the Qianqing Palace, only cabinet ministers remained.

"The three Aiqing are flat."

When the emperor's voice came, it was Zheng Xunrui who got up first, and his movements were quick, but at this time, his movements were fast, it was not a bad thing, and he was young and energetic and capable, and it should be known that in the court, there were old officials everywhere, and there were not many young officials.

Zheng Xunrui and the others had just gotten up, and before they had time to make other moves, the emperor's voice sounded again.

"Zheng Xunrui was enshrined as the Hanlin Academy."

"Enshrined Chen Yutai as the editor of the Hanlin Academy."

"Yang Tingshu was appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy."

The three of them knelt down again to give thanks, and the ceremony was over, less than half an hour before and after.

The ceremony is so simple, there is no Fengtian carriage, and there is no emperor's edict or the like, three sentences solve the problem of one qiē, this is the situation that Zheng Xunrui wants to see, there is no need to say so much useless nonsense.

The edict soon reached the hands of the three of them, and this edict was their official talisman.

Next, the three of them should leave the Qianqing Palace, and then go to the Hanlin Courtyard to report to work, the Hanlin Courtyard is located between Dong'an Gate and Donghua Gate, only one street away from the Forbidden City, within the scope of the Imperial City.

"Zheng Aiqing, can you remember what I asked you about last time?"

"The minister remembers, the emperor asked about the minister's marriage."

"Well, the so-called Qi family's self-cultivation and rule the country and level the world, since I know that you have decided to get married, I will give you two months of vacation, after going back to get married, I will be on duty in Hanlin Academy, Chen Aiqing and Yang Aiqing, I will also give you a month of vacation, let you go back to your hometown, you have been away from home for a long time, you should go back to see, so as not to worry about your family."

Zheng Xunrui was slightly moved, he didn't expect the emperor to think so carefully, but faintly, he felt that it was not so simple, in fact, after the palace test, returning to his hometown is the so-called return to his hometown, generally does not need the emperor to speak in person, the officials will handle it, and give Jinshi a certain vacation, generally in about a month, once the holiday is over, Jinshi is sold to the emperor's family, and there is almost no time to go home, unless he is removed from his official position.

"The minister bows to thank the emperor for his ......"

The three of them knelt down again, but this time they didn't need to kneel three times and knock nine times.

Because of the emperor's royal approval holiday, the three of them did not have to go to the Hanlin Academy to be on duty immediately, but they also knew that they had to go to the Hanlin Academy first, at least they needed to report and deliver the edict of the Ministry to the Hanlin Academy, which meant that they were already officials of the Hanlin Academy.

After leaving the Forbidden City, the rest of the Jinshi dispersed one after another, Zheng Xunrui, Chen Yutai and Yang Tingshu walked in the direction of the Hanlin Academy, the place they had already known, and when they became the first in the palace examination, they paid attention to the place of the Hanlin Academy.

The Hanlin Academy is very noble, the Hanlin Academy is responsible for the preparation of the text, the revision of the history of the country and the translation of the text, on the surface it seems that there is no particularly important responsibility, and the officials of the Hanlin Academy are all low, the most noble Hanlin bachelor, but also the official rank of the fifth grade, but everyone knows that the cabinet ministers are almost all from the Hanlin Academy, the bachelor of waiting, the bachelor of the lecture, and the Hanlin officials such as reading and speaking, it is easy to see the emperor, the emperor has a lot of things that he does not understand, and he will also find these people to ask, the practice of the imperial court, It is also to promote important ministers from the Hanlin Academy, such as the Ministry of Rites, the Left and Right Squires, and the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace.

There is also a particularly eye-catching point in Hanlin, that is, the official position of Hanlin is the choice of the noble, and only the first and second class jinshi can enter, if they get to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion to participate in confidential affairs, they are even more noble, so Hanlin can survive for a period of time, and is the best candidate for cabinet ministers.

The relationship between Zheng Xunrui and Chen Yutai is average, but he knows that Chen Yutai is Zhou Yanru's in-law, and Chen Yutai's father Chen Yijing, younger brother Chen Yuding and brother Chen Yuting are all Jinshi, which can be described as an honor.

It is said that in the face of such a prominent Chen Yutai, Zheng Xunrui should have a good relationship, in fact, Chen Yutai has always seemed a little complacent, but he is familiar with history, and he will not be good friends with Chen Yutai, as for Yang Tingshu, he has the experience of quitting the company, and the relationship between Chen Yutai cannot be very good.

The three of them exchanged greetings all the way towards the Hanlin Courtyard, but they said some inconsequential words.

When they came to the Hanlin Academy, the three of them went straight to meet Huang Ruliang, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Huang Ruliang's appearance is still very low-key, and he praised the three of them, especially when it comes to Zheng Xunrui, he thinks that his three yuan and the first are not simple.

Huang Ruliang also knew the emperor's will, just after the emperor announced his will in the Qianqing Palace, a eunuch came to announce the decree immediately, so he knew that the three of them were just nodding, indicating that they were already officials of the Hanlin Academy.

Zheng Xunrui is from the six-grade Hanlin repair, eight taels of silver per month, plus a part of Lu rice, Chen Yutai and Yang Tingshu are both Hanlin editors of the seventh grade, five taels of silver per month, plus Lu rice, of course, the income of the Beijing officials is not only Yulu, if they rely on this Yulu to live, it is estimated that they will die of poverty, and they naturally have other incomes, which is enough to maintain a decent life.

After leaving the Hanlin Academy, Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu returned to the restaurant.

Zheng Jinhong, Hong Xintao, Hong Xingui, Hong Xinyu and Yang Zhong and others had been prepared for a long time, and after they stayed in the capital for one night, they were ready to leave, of course, they didn't expect so much.

Back at the restaurant, Yang Tingshu entered Zheng Xunrui's room.

"Qingyang, the emperor has granted you a two-month vacation, you have to go back to marry, this time is tight enough, in my opinion, continue to stay in the capital tomorrow, leave early in the morning the day after tomorrow, according to the speed of you and me, I will definitely be able to go home within ten days, I am afraid that it will be too late to attend your wedding."

Zheng Xunrui knew what Yang Tingshu was talking about and why he stayed for another day.

It is said that the emperor gave him two months of vacation, which seems to be enough, but getting married is not such a simple thing, Beijing is 2,400 miles away from Nanjing, and it almost takes about a month to travel back and forth, and there is still more than a month left to get married, and the time is indeed very tight.

Wen Manshan is in Suzhou, Jiangning County is still 500 miles away from Suzhou, Zheng Xunrui must go to greet his relatives, and this is the emperor's holy decree, if he goes back and does not marry Wen Manshan, it will be disrespectful to the decree, and such a crime is unbearable.

Counting before and after, Zheng Xunrui's mileage on the road is close to 3,000 kilometers, which is not something that ordinary people can bear, as for Yang Tingshu's time, it is not much better than him, and there is only one month, that is to say, Yang Tingshu rushed back to Suzhou at the fastest speed, and the time at home did not exceed five days.

That's what seems like a long vacation, and there aren't many of them at all.

What's more, you have to stay in the capital for another day, but this day is a must.

After Yang Tingshu left, Zheng Xunrui fell into deep thought.

He has too many things to handle, he has been away from Jiangning County for more than three months, and he doesn't know what happened to the nursing home at home, when he left, the family has recruited many tenants, and selected two hundred young people from them to enter the team of the nursing home, and I don't know if these two thousand people, Yang He has been trained.

This thousand-person nursing home is Zheng Xunrui's old foundation, and there must be no accidents, otherwise he will not be able to take steps in the future, let alone other things.

This night, Zheng Xunrui had insomnia, and he thought about it a lot.
