After the exam

When the three thousand tried to lift, they all seemed to have put down the burden of a thousand catties, and they didn't think much about anything, and they played in the imperial capital all day long, even if they were usually serious and unsmiling.

At this time, the Gongyuan no longer cared about them, and the armor basically withdrew, leaving only fifty people to maintain order.

However, this kind of carnival is very similar to the struggle of death, after all, taking the Gongshi exam is actually equivalent to taking the Jinshi, after all, the Gongshi did not fail in the palace examination, but the emperor rearranged the ranking, so there is no difference - out of 3,000 people, only 60 people are not selected, how tragic is it?

This kind of 3,000-person examination, five days to read papers, five days to determine the name and release of the list, is to August 11, is the period of the list.

Not to mention that day, that is, to August 7**10 these days, everyone has played, are absent-minded, to the early morning of August 11, everyone is silent, the air is shrouded in nervousness, anxiety, and even fear, among the three thousand, those who can maintain calm on the surface, but three hundred, and those who can really calm down, but thirty.

When it came to the end, Zhu Mingyi, Zou Lixing, Li Rui, and Zheng Chengyi all had to go.

Along the way, I saw a large number of people rushing over.

Everyone didn't speak, but just walked up the road, not far from the Gongyuan, and saw some people returning along the way they came, all of them looking depressed and listless, and at a glance they knew that they had already fallen off the list.

Seeing such a situation, except for Fang Xin, the other three people were all pale.

Fang Xin didn't speak, he had already seen that even Zheng Chengyi, who had always been magnanimous, held his fingers white, and he was already sighing in his heart, once he was on the list, he was famous all over the world, and he had a bright future in the future.

No wonder their faces turned pale.

arrived at the gate of the Gongyuan, at this time. There is no such strict armor company anymore, only a small team of ten people, but there are a few more small officials at the door, and each person only needs to enter with a bronze medal, but the bronze medal is also withdrawn.

Inside the Gongyuan, there are a total of four identical lists, so you can choose one at random, although there are three thousand people, and when they are divided, there are only hundreds. Moreover, the ones who fell off the list. But there is no shame there, so he will naturally go out, so Fang Xin is the four. I chose the nearest east wall and looked at it. At that time, there were only more than 200 lifts.

There weren't many people, and Fang Xin didn't need to squeeze in, he glanced at it outside. Lin Lei

The list of tributes is the same as the list of people

There are ten people on the first list, twenty people on the second list, and thirty people on the third list, Fang Xin swept the first, and the first list saw that the second was Pei Xuday. The other people were very unfamiliar, ten names were swept over, and there was no him, Fang Xin's heart tightened.

He felt to himself, the article he wrote. It is the crystallization of a thousand-year-old sage. There is no him on the first list? Fang Xin froze and ignored the cursing and sighs of the crowd around him. Continue to look at the second list, this glance, the first name is himself, Li Rui from Jiangfu.

Fang Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and looked again, but he didn't find that there were other three names in the second list, and when he swept to the third list, in the twenty-one, he finally saw Zheng Chengyi's name.

After scanning for a while, there are still no names of Zhu Mingyi and Zou Lixing, knowing that the two of them have not won the tribute, but it is already good to have two tributes from Jiangfu, and maybe there are unfamiliar people from Jiangfu?

At the moment, I stopped looking at the list and withdrew.

swept their eyes, sure enough, Zhu Mingyi and Zou Lixing were really as pale as paper, and they couldn't see any grace anymore, in fact, they had also seen the list and knew that it had fallen, but they didn't give up, wondering if they had missed it, and looked at it carefully.

As for Zheng Chengyi, his eyes were just staring at his name at the twenty-one place on the third list, and his whole body trembled, almost making people think he was sick!

But this is a very normal situation, and there are people who faint while watching, which keeps the people in the courtyard busy.

At this moment, there were several officials in the Gongyuan, and they shouted in front of the list: "If you have not been lifted, you will withdraw from the Gongyuan, and you have been selected as a tribute scholar, waiting to be summoned." ”

Urged by this, Zhu Mingyi and Zou Lixing woke up in a trance, and had to walk outside, Fang Xin shook his head with a wry smile, and comforted: "Alas, there are lives in the examination room, and the younger brother is lucky to be successful, but he is ashamed to feel that his talent is limited, but the two talents did not win, I think that the fate is not good for a while, and the fate will be won in the next year." Zhu Mingyi had already sobered up at this time, and said gloomily: "Brother Li is talented, we all admire it, and it is a matter of course to win the tribute, and I wait, alas, should study hard for three years!" ”

Seeing that Zou Lixing hadn't woken up yet, and his face was in a trance, Zhu Mingyi pulled him away, after all, the Gongyuan was already urging.

A moment later, in the field, they were already Gongshi.

Zheng Chengyi woke up at this time, with great joy, and said with a sigh: "Brother Xian, I didn't expect that today we would finally get the middle jinshi, and it would not be in vain for me to have a cold window for twenty years." ”

Fang Xin smiled: "Brother Zheng, you have to calm down first, and then you will soon meet the master, and tomorrow is the palace test, but if you have to cultivate your spirit, you must lose your honor in front of the palace." ”

The seat teacher, that is, the chief examiner of the tribute test, for the lifting of people, not in the tribute, it is really another turning point in fate, three thousand lifters, sixty people on the list, what a glory this is?

In the era of attaching importance to the etiquette of the Gangchang, this kindness is equivalent to the kindness of parents and righteousness, so once successful, the new Gongshi must be grateful to the master for life.

However, because the emperor felt that this relationship was too important, he immediately conducted the palace examination after the tribute test, and did not allow the jinshi to call the protégé of a certain division, so he was only allowed to meet in the tribute courtyard at noon on the day of the list.

Sure enough, there was not much time, and there was a meeting with sixty new tributes, arranged according to their ranks, divided into three batches, and met with the master, and reported their names one by one, and the chief examiner also pointed out a few times at will, and issued a silver medal on the spot, this silver medal is to enter the imperial city, meet the emperor, and get the certificate of the palace test.

"Tomorrow, you wait for the temple to face the saint, the holy general will give the time policy together, the temple test is completed, read the paper on the spot, set the name on the spot and release the list, and the admission is divided into three grades: the first and the third, give the jinshi and the first, the first name champion, the list eye and the second flower. The second class twenty, the birth of the Jinshi, the third class thirty-seven, the birth of the same Jinshi, do you already know? Xu Xiangqing, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Du Zhao, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, met with the tribute at the same time.

"The students have already understood." Everyone knelt and said, taking the silver medal.

After the meeting, I ate Chinese food, this meal is also called Xie Shi noodles, in fact, it is a large row of noodles, some green onions, Gongshi is grateful, eats noodles, and then withdraws, consuming time, but it is a few moments of time, this is in accordance with the court law to avoid suspicion, of course, in fact, this relationship is inseparable, and now it is nothing more than a formality.

When Fang Xin visited, he was also observing these sixty people, and as a result, he not only saw Pei Xuday, but also saw the two of them on top, and they also had their own strange spirits, and they were shocked in their hearts.

One person, Zhou Lihua, twenty-nine years old, was born in a family of eunuchs, and another person, twenty-six years old, Peng Hanzhi, was born in a commoner's family, and both of them are extremely noble.

After resigning, Zheng Chengyi smiled and said: "The virtuous brother is ranked second, I want to be from the seventh grade, decentralize the county, and after three years, he will immediately turn into the seventh grade county order, and the foolish brother doesn't know where to go!" ”

What he said is the rules, generally speaking, the champion, the list, the flower, the three of them are directly into the Hanlin Academy, leading from the sixth grade and the seventh grade of the official position, the work is very noble, is to let these three people familiar with the operation of the central and cabinet operations, and then they may be promoted to the cabinet to participate in political affairs, although it is only five or six grades, but it is very powerful, called the small cabinet.

And the two lists of Jinshi, from the seventh grade, are generally placed in each county to be a county leader.

The county chief is the adjutant of a county, the assistant of the county order, higher than any other official in the county, theoretically, for a county political affairs can be interrogated, and below it is the county lord Bo and the county lieutenant each have full-time work.

But in fact, because the status of the county commander is higher than that of the chief Bo and the lieutenant, and he is approaching the county order, as usual, in order to avoid suspicion (so as not to feel that the county order is suspected of seizing power), so he does not say anything about official affairs.

Then the official documents can be read, and you can participate in anything, but you generally do not speak, and you can just sign as usual when you sign.

Of course, the imperial court knows about this situation, so the Jinshi is placed in this position, so that these scholars who become officials as soon as they come in can understand the situation of the county government, know the rules of officialdom, and because they are not responsible, they will not make mistakes, and the evaluation of the officials is generally good, so they can be turned into regular after three years and go to other counties to be the magistrate, so the local magistrate is very polite and does not dare to treat them as subordinates.

As for the Jinshi of the third list, there are two possibilities, one is to go to Hanlin to be a Jishi, the problem is that there are too many Jishi, although they are noble, but they are relatively slow to be promoted.

There is also a possibility, that is, directly delegated to the county as the main officer, the starting point is relatively low, and because of the lack of experience, it is easy to make mistakes at the beginning, which is also a big risk.

That's why Zheng Chengyi has this feeling.

Fang Xin said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, no matter what, we have already won the tribute, and the following is nothing more than a ranking, even if it is decentralized, as long as we are cautious, we will have the day of promotion, compared to others, it is already much faster, why should we worry now?" If you don't go to the temple tomorrow morning, otherwise, you will get drunk with Brother Zheng today, so what's the matter? ”

When Zheng Chengyi heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "That's right, I'm hypocritical." ”

After speaking, the two laughed and walked out of the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.
