Chapter 24: The Mystery of the Lotus Flower, 24

Yin Shizhan is an acquaintance of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, which does not mean that their relationship is good. On the contrary, the relationship between Gao Gong and Yin Shizhan is very bad, and Zhang Juzheng has also suffered from Yin Shizhan.

Yin Shizhan is a native of Shandong, and his speech is not only direct but also as loud as scolding. Yin Shizhan always instructed Zhang Juzheng in the tone of his predecessors, and even taught Zhang Juzheng a lesson.

Gao Gong is a proud person, but also a person with a bad temper, of course, he is at odds with Yin Shizhan, who has always spoken loudly and straightforwardly.

Gao Gong has been forced into a corner by Zhang Juzheng, but this is their internal matter, and outsiders don't know much.

Gao Gong gave Zhang Juzheng a certain amount of authority, and Zhang Juzheng respected Gao Gong in some things. Gao Gong is not very uncomfortable in the cabinet, but he is in charge of fewer things.

Now that Yin Shizhan is here, not only is he more decentralized, but he also begins to laugh at Gao Gong in a yin and yang way.

Gao Gong was of course not happy, so he finally broke out

"Prime Minister Fight Incident". As early as the time of King Yu's Mansion, Gao Gong and Yin Shizhan were already on the wrong path.

The problem is mainly due to the discord of the personalities and status of the two people. Yin Shizhan is a native of the east of the mountain, and he is also there

The descendants of Meng Ke and Mencius, who are known as "Yasheng", have a crooked kinship, so when they meet people, they will talk about their glorious history, just like Master Meng is his ancestor.

Yin Shizhan compared himself to the descendants of Mencius, and he was a well-educated man, so everyone let him score three points, and over time he was proud of this.

Gao Gong is a native of the West, and it turns out that Gao Gong does not shy away from this, but later he is reluctant to mention his identity.

The reason is that everyone knows that the Shanxi people are famous for their stinginess and stinginess, and they all say that they would rather drink boiled water with the people of the mountains and the east than with the people of the mountains and the west.

In contrast, the people of Shandong have a bold personality, and even if they drink boiled water, they are full of passion. It is different for people from the west of the mountains to drink, if it is the people of the west who are treated, the food and drinks will be barely or even enough.

If you invite a mountain and a westerner to drink, the other party will eat and drink like a desperate Saburo, just like a beggar who has not eaten or drunk for several days, which is particularly shameless.

Gao Gong didn't know this until later, so he was reluctant to mention that he was from Shanxi.

But Gao Gong's temper and character have already been so determined, and it always makes people feel that he is an out-and-out Shanxi person.

One is Yin Shizhan who says that his hometown is good when he meets people, and the other is the high arch that keeps his mouth shut and does not talk about his hometown, which has become a great contrast.

But everyone has their own hometown complex, and they always feel that their hometown is the best. Especially for strangers who are wandering outside, everyone likes people who love their hometown.

From this point of view, everyone prefers to praise the good Yin Shizhan of their hometown, and they don't like to hate the high arch of their hometown.

There are even some people who secretly say that Gao Gong is an ungrateful person who doesn't even want his hometown. At that time, scholars paid the most attention to filial piety, and a person who did not love his hometown and was not filial to his parents was a bad person who forgot his ancestors.

For this reason, Gao Gong was not less angry, and gradually hated Yin Shizhan. In fact, these are all small things, and the thing that really affects the relationship between Gao Gong and Yin Shizhan is the status relationship.

Gao Gong and Yin Shizhan were both born in scientific examinations, and they were the same hard readers of the Four Books and Five Classics, and they were talented, lifted, filial piety, and Jinshi in round after round of scientific examinations, and later became two Jinshi.

Because of their excellent grades, they entered the Hallym Academy and became a bachelor of the Hallym Academy. At that time, the imperial court was very meticulous in the management of reserve talents in these countries, and it was actually a good thing to be able to enter the Hanlin Academy.

The imperial court has a big competition every three years, the first place is the champion, the second place is the list, and the third place is Tanhua.

Each time, Dabi recruits more than 100 jinshi, sometimes a little more. It is impossible for all of these Jinshi to enter the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor, and only a very few people can enter the Hanlin Academy.

In addition to these few who entered the Hanlin Academy for further study, most of the Jinshi will enter the six yamen or all levels of yamen.

Because these people are all newcomers and have no experience in governance, they will not be entrusted with important tasks all at once.

These people are either ordinary chiefs in the yamen of the six ministries, or they hold low-ranking deputy posts or department heads in the yamen in various places.

The best place to go is to go to the county to know the county, and you can do it directly

"The number one". In order to increase everyone's attention to the imperial examination system, as early as the Song Dynasty, there was a rule that the head of the local administration must be from a professional class.

That is to say, only the two Jinshi who were born in the scientific examination are qualified to sit in court to try cases, and even the Yanmen County Governor at the most basic level of the imperial court must also be from Jinshi.

Therefore, everyone is desperate to gain fame, with the goal of becoming a high-ranking official. These jinshi, who have been boiling for more than ten years or even decades, once they enter the officialdom, they become a small drop of seawater, and they can't stir up many waves in the ocean of officialdom.

Some people have since ceased to be treated at the county level, and stepped down after becoming the previous governor. Some people have not even been in the main hall, and they have been going around various yamen all their lives, and they have been deputies for a lifetime.

Some people are pulled by their bosses for various reasons

The "scapegoat" does not even have the freedom to go home, and has to spend the rest of his life in prison. In contrast, being able to enter the Hanlin Academy is the best choice, because entering the Hanlin Academy means that this Jinshi will have a bright future in the future.

According to the traditional rules, officials from the imperial examination have to go to the grassroots level to train, in addition to the performance of the possibility of improvement.

There was a scholar who once secretly investigated how a scholar could become a feudal official. Scholars who have won the Jinshi must enter the second round of the scientific examination and pass the two Jinshi in order to be regarded as two Jinshi.

Only the two Jinshi are qualified to be appointed immediately, and the Jinshi are only eligible for alternateship, and generally do not directly appoint positions.

It is said that if this student is lucky, he will be able to pass the test smoothly every time. He was enlightened at the age of seven, a middle school boy at the age of fourteen or fifteen, a Xiucai at the age of seventeen or eighteen, a middle school at the age of twenty-one and a twin, and a middle jinshi at the age of twenty-four or five.

If you officially become the magistrate at the age of twenty-five, you will be appointed as the magistrate every three years. It must be given a good evaluation by the superior every year, and after three years, it will be changed from a small county to a large county, and it is still a county, but the administrative level has been promoted from the original seven-pin Zhengtang Zhixian to the seven-pin Zhixian.

Three years later, the prefect of the county, who is highly evaluated every year, will be able to become the governor or prefect of a small place, and this official will be at least thirty years old.

As soon as the prefect comes down, this prefect from the fifth rank to the fifth rank will be transferred to internal work. Or to serve as a department head in a provincial-level yamen, that is, to go to the six yamen departments in the capital to serve as the head of a certain department.

Switching between various departments, familiar with the operation of various departments, at least three years and five years. At this time, this official was almost forty years old, and he had both qualifications and experience.

They will serve as provincial-level officials, such as deputy envoys, envoys or daotai, etc., and may also serve as a member of the six yamen.

Officials in such positions do not stay for long, and in two or three years there will be new arrangements. They either serve as the chief administrative officer in an important place, or they go into hiding and take up the position of a leader in a non-vital department.

When he is almost 50 years old, this official may be the political envoy or governor of a certain province, and he may also be the second-in-command of the six yamen.

However, they will never be qualified to serve as the head of the six yamen, and it is even less likely that they will have the opportunity to enter the cabinet and become the actual controllers of the imperial court.

Because they have not entered the Hanlin Academy, they are not qualified to be prime ministers. Generally speaking, no one is so lucky that they will go all the way down so smoothly, countless officials have fallen on this road, and very few can really hold on to the end.

This is really more troublesome and dangerous than Tang Seng learning scriptures in the west, and it is simply not a human thing. In contrast, as long as you enter the Hanlin Academy, you can take many detours less than other officials.

If you are twenty-five or sixteen years old and enter the Hanlin Academy, congratulations, you may be able to become one in your fifties

"Cabinet walking", even formal cabinet members. At that time, as long as the conditions are ripe, you may become the next cabinet chief assistant, the real head of the imperial court.

After entering the Hallym Academy, the newcomers will not be allowed to come to the stage immediately, and the newcomers will either intern in a certain place or arrange for history revision.

Just like Xu Jie, after he first entered the Hanlin Academy, it took five years to revise the "History of the Yuan", he was already in his thirties when he was a Jinshi, and he was already a middle-aged uncle in his forties after finishing the "History of the Yuan".

After a period of hard work, the man completely transformed from a scholar to a formally qualified official.

He was appointed as a priest, that is, an attendant to a certain prince, and worked and served beside this prince for a period of time.

Of course, if you are lucky, this person will be favored by the emperor and directly appointed as the edict of the Hanlin Academy, help the emperor draft the holy decree, write a living record for the emperor or something.

After three and a half years, these people are qualified to serve as lecturers. It's called

"Small Kaifang" means that this person can finally be qualified to go to the podium and give lessons to students or a certain nobleman.

After the "small opening of the workshop", this person can be regarded as a real bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and at this time he can serve as a foreign official, as a local prefect-level official, or even a Taoist official.

You can also stay in the Hanlin Academy or Guozijian to give lectures and teach newcomers and students. Generally, those who want to enter the cabinet and become the first assistant of the cabinet in the future will choose to stay in the Hanlin Academy or go to the Guozijian.

After surviving the most difficult five or six years, they will become the most promising people to enter the top. If you choose to go to the local post at this time, it is equivalent to being better than others

"In the same year" is one step faster, and he is not qualified to worship the prime minister.
