Chapter 188: Chaohui 1
readx;? This day's meeting is a bit long. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info hasn't been opened until now. It's almost noon. Zhu Lin felt a little hungry. "Dare to ask this father-in-law, when will this dynasty be over?" Zhu Lin said as he gave the father-in-law a silver ticket. The father-in-law quickly took it and stuffed it into the cuffs, smiled and said, "What's the matter! Let's tell you! In the future, when you enter the palace for a court meeting, it is best to eat and drink enough. Generally speaking, the Hajj meeting will be held until after noon. If it's okay, it's estimated that it will disperse early. If there were more recitals from those ministers, it would be like this. Wait, the Imperial Dining Room has prepared another feast. It is estimated that it will not be too long. ”
The other Jinshi listened and disagreed. I guess I've been prepared for a long time. Here, Li Zhenghua said to Zhu Lin behind his back: "Brother Nian, are you hungry? If you are hungry, I have some snacks here." Zhu Lin declined Li Zhenghua's kindness. And didn't eat. This Li Zhenghua still brought snacks with him in the last court, I don't know if someone has pointed it out. Zhu Lin was pondering. The Gonggong Liu I saw last time walked out of the main hall, stood on the pedestal and shouted loudly: "The Holy Lord's Message: Zhu Lin, the champion of today's department, Li Zhenghua, and Meng Liangchen, Tanhua, enter the hall!"
This loud sound shook Zhu Lin's eardrums. Zhu Lin stood at the bottom and looked up, this is at least 100 meters away from Gonggong Liu, it seems that Gonggong Liu's internal strength is not weak. Zhu Lin thought wildly. The eunuch next to him reminded in a low voice: "Champion Lang, it's time to thank you!"
Zhu Lin was stunned, now is not the time to be cranky, he knelt down, and the new science and technology jinshi behind him also knelt down with hulala. "Minister, Zhu Lin leads the new science and technology jinshi! Thank you! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" kowtowed according to what the little eunuch taught him yesterday, then stood up, lowered his body, and walked up the steps along the left aisle under the leadership of the eunuch. Arrived at the entrance of the main hall. Gonggong Liu shouted: "Xinke Yijia Sanjin Shi is grateful!" The time has come to test Zhu Lin's learning results yesterday. Zhu Lin knelt on his knees, folded his hands, stretched his arms forward, palms down, and his upper body to the ground. If the head does not touch the ground, this is called worship. Stand up, take three steps, and continue with what you just did. When he does the third, Zhu Lin has to press his right hand with his left hand, palm down, and touch the ground with his head, which is called knocking, three knocks and nine bows. Yesterday, the little eunuch told me a thousand times that he must do a good job. Fortunately, this is all simplified, and it used to be said to be clapping or something. The two people in the back also followed Zhu Lin, following Zhu Lin's example, and doing these three bows and nine buckles there. After three bows and nine bows, he knelt right before the threshold of the Fengtian Temple. After crossing the threshold, Zhu Lin entered the power center of this dynasty. Zhu Lin knelt in front of the threshold and couldn't raise his head. Because the emperor did not speak. The emperor sat on the high dragon chair and watched Zhu Lin come over with three bows and nine bows, and a trace of sickly flushing appeared on his not good face. Turning his head to Gonggong Liu next to him, he said, "Announce them into the hall." The ministers and generals who were standing on the left and right sides of the squad turned their heads to look at the three people kneeling beyond the threshold of the main hall. Discussions also began.
"Xuanxinke champion, Bangyan, Tanhua, enter the hall!" Liu Gonggong waved his hand and shouted in the direction of the palace gate. Only then did Zhu Lin straighten up, bow his head, and cross the threshold. Take three steps and get down on the ground. He touched his head to the ground and shouted loudly: "Zhu Lin, the champion of the new department, brings the eyes of the new department, and explores the flowers to see my emperor!"
The military generals next to him were all looking at the three people kneeling in the main hall. watched the new champion Zhu Lin finish this set of actions. Wenchen generally understands this, and the emperor should say: "Aiqing is flat!"
But Zhu Lin knelt for at least a few minutes. The one above just kept looking at the three people kneeling on the ground in a daze, but didn't speak.
Zhu Lin's legs were kneeling around, and his legs were very uncomfortable. But at this time, if you are uncomfortable, you have to endure it! I really don't know if the legs of the two young brothers in the back don't seem to be like mine. Zhu Lin thought badly in his heart.
Zhu Lin knelt at the front, followed by Li Zhenghua, and finally Meng Liangchen. This Meng Liangchen is better, after all, he was born in a farming family. Physical fitness is still okay. But he gritted his teeth and insisted on not shaking his legs. But Li Zhenghua, a rich son, can't do it. His legs were sore and numb, and he shook like chaff. The ministers didn't feel anything. Who hasn't gone through this! But the generals almost laughed out loud. "Grandpa Guo, you see that Tanhua's legs are shaking!"
"Ben Gong saw it! Well, the young people now are far worse than when Lao Tzu was younger, I really don't know what these selected scholars can do?" The two people standing in front of the military generals discussed in a low voice.
Zhu Lin heard it, but he didn't dare to look up to see which two of them were, but he felt that the voice of one of them was very familiar. It should be a voice that I heard on the day of the Luming feast. Gonggong Liu was beside the emperor, looking at the stunned emperor, and he also wondered in his heart. What's wrong with this emperor? I was absent-minded when I had a court meeting just now. At this time, he was still stunned. Gonggong Liu glanced at the eunuch standing next to a pillar in the hall. The eunuch ran to the side of the imperial case and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat!"
With that, the eunuch stepped aside. This voice is too familiar to Zhu Lin. It was the eunuch who sold furniture last time and forced Zhu Lin to buy furniture.
After listening to the eunuch's words, the emperor reacted. "Oh, it's time to eat. Let me wait a while. The three Aiqing are flat. ”
Only then did Zhu Lin stand up and stand in the center of the hall with his head down. "The new champion, Zhu Lin raised his head. Where did you have the courage to point your nose and scold me at Dengkui Pavilion that day?"
When Zhu Lin heard this, he knelt down: "The minister is dead, I really don't know that day! Willing to be punished!"
"Okay, okay! Those who don't know are not guilty! Get up! Don't kneel!" Zhu Lin heard this, stood up, looked at his nose, nose, heart, and feet, but still didn't dare to raise his head. I was thinking carefully about what the emperor meant by this. Could it be that the emperor has gone to great lengths to get me to this position just to humiliate me!
The military generals next to him were all confused when they watched the conversation between the ministers. Wen Chen over there was thinking about whether he wanted to participate in this new department champion after a while. Even the emperor dared to point his nose and scold. But the emperor said that those who did not know were not guilty. What a great opportunity, just missed. Even the emperor dared to scold, although there were many who scolded the emperor, but he had never heard of anyone who dared to point his nose and scold.
"Where is the official book?" said the emperor.
The official secretary stood up from the Wenchen train and said, "The minister is here!"
"I ask you, what are the real vacancies in the imperial court today? What kind of positions can Zhu Lin and the three of them fill? What about the new science and technology scholars outside? How many days have you been discussing with the cabinet, and how to arrange it?" the emperor asked.
The official secretary Shangshu hugged the wat board and replied: "Qi Xiang Wu Huang! Is there a real shortage in the imperial court? According to the regulations, the top three in the first class of the new department can only enter the Hanlin Academy to be a Hanlin bachelor." Each jinshi will enter the six departments and nine divisions according to their results!"
"You've been deliberating for so long, and you've come up with such a result?" the Emperor asked unhappily.
"Well, it's all according to the rules. "The official is an old man surnamed Sun, and he is also strangely tough, and he said to the emperor without humility or arrogance.
Zhu Lin once asked Li Zhi how the imperial court would arrange himself if he won the champion. Li Zhi replied very happily, and generally went to the Hanlin Academy first to become a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy according to the rules. Zhu Lin asked, "How many grades are there in the official residence?" Li Zhi replied: "The seventh grade is a little stronger than the green robe of the ninth grade." ”
Zhu Lin almost fainted when he heard it. Lao Tzu tried his best to get the top prize, and only arranged for a seventh-grade petty official, which is not as good as Zhang Qingju, but he is also a sixth-grade junior county! Is there a place to reason about this? Ask Li Zhi what does this bachelor of the Hanlin Academy do?" It's what you and Lao Yang often talk about!"
Zhu Lin understood that this Hanlin Academy was equivalent to the secretariat of later generations, and the Hanlin Academy was equivalent to the secretary. It's just that under Li Zhi's explanation, if this Hanlin scholar is delegated to a locality, he is generally the head of a state. And it is close to the center, very close to the emperor, and generally there are many more opportunities for promotion than for local positions. For example, if Zhang Qingju wants to climb from the sixth rank to the fourth grade, he needs to have extraordinary ability, and second, he needs to stay up for time. Third, it depends on whether there is a strong background in the court. If there are no three, it is estimated that Zhang Qingju can only stay in the position of the sixth grade. And Zhu Lin is different, don't look at the official small now, one day the emperor may be happy to promote you to the fourth grade. It's good to be an official by the emperor's side.
The emperor thought for a while, looked at Zhu Lin, who was bowing his head, and said, "Zhu Aiqing, what do you think?"
What else could Zhu Lin say, he could only kneel down and thank him. Although he didn't face the emperor, the emperor still saw the hesitation when Zhu Lin knelt down. I couldn't help but sigh and said: "In this case, let's do it according to the agreement of the ministry! But Zhu Lin made a meritorious contribution and made Zhu Lin the first scholar of the Hanlin Academy." Ride a horse and sit in a sedan chair in the palace, and answer the call at any time. The rest can be dealt with according to the Emperor's opinion!"
At this time, Lord Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, jumped out holding the wat board, and the emperor saw that the old man jumped out, and his head was extremely big. Sure enough, there are a lot of people who care about money. Dancing and foaming, he spoke. Zhu Lin didn't understand anything else, but he understood: "Yu Li is not in agreement, the great merit is great, and the horseback riding in the palace is overdue." It has never been seen in ancient times!"
The emperor's face was very unsightly, and he was already gloomy. After Lord Qian finished speaking, several civil officials jumped out to echo him. Anyway, you can say anything, the emperor, you give Zhu Lin to ride a horse and ride a sedan chair in the palace, but it is not good. Just kidding, how many old ministers have not enjoyed this treatment, and you can enjoy this treatment as soon as you are the champion of the new department.
