"You're too nervous, anyway, the palace exam has already passed, or think about your future plans, but you plan to take the Jishi exam?" Gu Chengyu asked Ye Zhiqiu's plans in the future, and only by becoming a Shu Jishi could he have a chance to rise to the top, and Shu Jishi was also known as the "Prime Minister".

Ye Zhiqiu was a little hesitant, he naturally wanted to enter the Hanlin Academy. But Qinggui Hanlin didn't say it. Hanlin Yuan is the Qingshui Yamen, and it can only live on the fortune of the imperial court.

The mother told the second sister that she was in the capital, and she was also a scholar, her family background could only be regarded as average, and it was already very difficult to study, and he had no money to help.

In the past few years, the money they have earned from embroidery has been used to supplement his study, how can there be any surplus at home? Even my sister's dowry can't be paid at home.

He thought that if he went out, he could always make up for his family, and of course, this was not about corruption. He is not a pedantic person, there are no fish when the water is clear, and the emperor also understands the truth.

"Let's talk about it!" Ye Zhiqiu frowned, his family was poor, and he had to worry about silver when he became an official. There are many officials in Beijing, you must have a lot of entertainment coming and going, and a year's worth of entertainment is not enough, he doesn't want to let his mother work so hard anymore.

Gu Chengyu also knew Ye Zhiqiu's family background, and he thought that the next time he saw Gu Wan, he would talk to her and see what new tricks he could come up with, so that Ye Zhiqiu's mother could earn more. I have known each other for eight years, and I can be regarded as close friends, and I still have to help them within the scope of my ability.

"I'm not surprised that you're the champion. Chengyu, back then, Master Wen said that you have the talent of the champion, it seems that Master Wen is really as wise as a torch. ”

Wen Fuzi once mentioned this matter in front of Ye Zhiqiu, and he said it when Gu Chengyu was away, for fear that Gu Chengyu would be young and frivolous, and he would be proud and complacent.

"Oh? Becoming the champion is not just a good literary talent, and luck also accounts for a part of it, but I didn't expect Wenfuzi to speak so highly of me? ”

Wen Fuzi was very strict with Gu Chengyu, rarely praised him, and he always thought that Wen Fuzi thought he was crazy.

Later, he was admitted to the Juren, and Wenfuzi's attitude towards him changed. Maybe it's because I thought he was already a man at that time, but he didn't look at things with pride, and he didn't study in his private school, so it was rare to see him last time, and there was no need to suppress his temperament anymore.

The two of them talked, and within a quarter of an hour they arrived outside the palace gate. Gu Chengyu and the others got out of the carriage and walked along the red palace wall to the east outside the palace wall, where the official offices of the six departments and the Honglu Temple were all outside the east wall.

Gu Chengyu and Ye Zhiqiu followed the waiter, walked for a small half pillar of incense, and finally arrived at the Ministry of Rites. At this time, there was already a new Jinshi in the Ministry of Rites, and they were talking in twos and threes. However, after all, in the palace, he did not dare to make a loud noise.

Gu Chengyu's arrival attracted the attention of these people, and the news that he was given a watch by the emperor on the day of the ceremony had already spread. While everyone envied him, they also wanted to get closer to him, not to mention that Gu Chengyu was still the champion, and he would definitely have a bright future in the future.

Of course, there are also some candidates who know the situation in the court, Gu Chengyu has not yet entered the court, he has already stood on the opposite side of Xia Qing, and I am afraid that the future will not be easy.

Although he was appreciated by the emperor, he was only a six-grade person when he entered the Hanlin Academy, and there were not many opportunities to face the saint. The Hanlin Academy can't take his turn to preach at the banquet, so naturally there are bachelors and bachelors in the Hanlin Academy.

So these people are watching and are not too enthusiastic. However, Gu Chengyu conferred the official rank from the sixth grade, which is better than the grade of these people. Even if you don't take the Ji Shi test and wait for the person to be released, it is just a seven-grade magistrate!

Since he was of high grade, they couldn't pretend not to see it, so they all nodded and smiled at Gu Chengyu.

There are a total of 400 jinshi, and most of them are released, but how can there be so many vacancies in the official positions of the imperial court? Therefore, there must be a small number of Jinshi waiting for vacancies at home, and if there is a vacancy, they will naturally be given official positions.

At this time, you have to test your financial resources and connections, if you give a gift and have a relationship with a certain official in the DPRK and China, then the position can naturally come to you first.

The top three are all directly awarded official positions, so there is no need to worry at all.

Today's Grace Banquet was attended by the ministers who read the scrolls, the envoys of the Luan Honor Guard, the Scholars of the Ministry of Rites, the attendants, and the officials who received the scrolls and sealed them, and all the officials who participated in the palace examination and the ceremony of passing the scrolls were to participate.

However, it is okay for some officials not to want to come, and it is not mandatory. Every time the officials of the Grace Banquet are uneven, and those officials come or not depending on their mood.

Whether the emperor attends the grace banquet depends on his mood. Gu Chengyu heard that the emperor did not attend the first two times, saying that he was busy with government affairs, but Gu Chengyu guessed in his heart that he was busy with alchemy!

After a while, Gu Chengyu saw Min Feng and Huang Junheng coming together. Huang Junheng ranked 20th in the second class in this palace examination, and his results were also good. Since he was rated as one of the three major talents in Jiangnan, this level naturally still exists.

As soon as Min Feng saw Gu Chengyu, he thought of the teacher's conversation with him. Originally, the teacher put his test paper in front of Gu Chengyu, but the emperor appointed Gu Chengyu, and even the teacher couldn't.

Besides, the emperor has been a little dissatisfied with the teacher recently, so the teacher asked him not to be in the limelight recently, and to keep a low profile.

Anyway, he still has to be an official in the same dynasty, and Min Feng is ready to step forward to say hello to Gu Chengyu. He entered Hanlin in the future, that is, he was an editor, and he was a seventh-grade, lower than Gu Chengyu's official position, and Gu Chengyu became his peak.

With this cognition, Min Feng's heart was a little unhappy again.

"Seiyu!" Zheng Lun had already seen Gu Chengyu, and after Gu Chengyu came out of prison after clearing his grievances, he also reported a letter to him, but his father didn't know where to hear it, so he insisted that Gu Chengyu had offended people and didn't want him to have too much contact with Gu Chengyu.

Later, although the ban was lifted, the palace exam was about to be held, and Zheng Lun did not look for Gu Chengyu again, but only focused on the exam. However, in the end, he still asked his subordinate Gu Chengyu to send a letter.

"Senior Brother Zheng! I haven't congratulated my senior brother for becoming a new jinshi. "Zheng Lun is the twenty-eighth in the second grade, and the ranking is also high. Although Zheng Lun didn't reply to him later, since people came, he had to greet him with a smile. Besides, if this person cannot be acquainted, then he will be far away in the future.

At this time, Gu Chengyu didn't know that Zheng Lun had written a letter to him, and he didn't receive the letter, so he thought that Zheng Lun didn't want to have a deep friendship with him because of his father's obstruction.

"Rejoice! Rejoice! I haven't congratulated you on becoming the champion! ”

After Zheng Lun finished speaking, he greeted each other with Ye Zhiqiu.

"I'm really sorry for what happened earlier, my father asked me to prepare for the palace exam with peace of mind, so I only replied to you with a letter. In the future, I will definitely apologize to you. Zheng Lun is really guilty about what happened before, if it was that small-bellied chicken intestine, he would definitely have to break off his friendship.
