Chapter 203: The Cabinet is awaiting edict
In fact, this is the advantage of high scores, Xu Qian, a champion like him, only produced six songs in one hundred and fifty years of the national dynasty, he is not afraid of what the officials dare to do to him, and it is a favor to be polite to them, and it is natural to be polite.
There are more and more people coming, and then the scholars began to enter the examination process, the so-called examination school, equivalent to the interview of later generations, by the Ministry of Literature and Literature Selected Officials Division is responsible, your results in the imperial examination, and even your appearance, age, all affect your future at all times.
For example, Hanlin, in fact, it may not be that you can get in if you have a good score in the exam, if you are ugly, you don't talk well, and you are older, people may not be willing to give you the opportunity to be a Jishi.
Everyone sat high in the hall, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy, nodded one by one, and waited for the interview of the Wen Xuan Qing Officials, but Xu Qian did not have to participate in this kind of selection, because he was the champion, this reason was enough, there were too many unspoken rules of the dynasty, but there were not many unspoken rules about the examination of the master, he sat idle for a while, and then a hall official politely invited him to the side, and said: "Yang Gong wants to see the champion Gong." β
Xu Qian nodded, this is also one of the steps, and said, "Please lead the way." β
When he arrived at a duty room, the hall official asked Xu Qian to go in, Xu Qian stepped in, and sure enough, he saw Yang Tinghe Gao Gao and waiting for him.
He obviously took time out of his busy schedule to come from the palace, and took advantage of this opportunity to quickly take care of the affairs of the department, and he didn't notice it when Xu Qian came in, and only when Xu Qian coughed did he raise his eyes, and then he smiled, and said peacefully: "Sit down." β
Xu Qian sat down and said, "Student Xu Qian, I've seen adults. β
Yang Tinghe just nodded, glanced at Xu Qian, and then said, "This time, you are the top of the high school list, and you are the champion of my Ming Dynasty. It is also the first six songs in the history of my Ming Dynasty, which is gratifying. It stands to reason that Xu Qian should be the second six songs of the Ming Dynasty, but in the official face, it is absolutely impossible to recognize the identity of Huang Guan, so it is no problem to say that Xu Qian is the first six songs.
Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "According to the rules." The Qing Officials Division has already naturalized for you, and from now on, you are an official, and because you are a first-class person, this time it is compiled by the Hanlin Academy. I hope you will work hard after entering Hanlin, live up to the grace of the country, and serve the court well. β
This is all empty talk, because before coming, Xu Qian's compilation of Hanlin was nine out of ten, but don't underestimate the compilation of Hanlin, it seems to be just a small seven products. However, in the Hanlin Academy, he is also a middle-level official, and there are also Shu Jishi below, there are editors, reviews, classics, and so on.
If it goes further. Then you can read and lecture for the attendants, that is, become the emperor's secretary, and maybe even be the prince's teacher.
However, whether it is an editor or a gentleman, they are all idle jobs. It is a position that is under the name of Hanlin, but there is no specific job. Generally, after half a year, the official position will be adjusted.
All in all, this is an incomparably noble errand, the best errand in the new officer's tenure. Because he was generally responsible for participating in the drafting of edicts, the compilation and revision of historical books, and the lectures of sutras.
Needless to say, the drafting of the edict is not to be said, although it is said that you write what others say, but most of the decrees in the world come from your hands, and the slightest wind and grass in the imperial court are also under your nose. As for the compilation of historical books, it seems that there is no privilege, but I don't know that writing history is almost one of the most important affairs of the imperial court, that is, the emperor is also the most concerned about the Ming Shilu, the pen is in your hands, if you play with your heart and make a spring and autumn penmanship, people will only be dumbfounded. Of course, the most important thing is to talk about the scriptures, the so-called banquet, is for the emperor to talk about the history of the special imperial chair, to put it bluntly, is to the emperor and the prince as a teacher, give them lectures brainwashing, in a sense, the emperor and the prince are your students, people listen to the lectures, may not only listen to you lecture on history, sometimes casually discuss some political discussions that are also common, so this small small repair, but like those so-called secretaries, in a sense can change the emperor's policy of governance.
And if you mix up for half a year and then transfer to other official positions, you will often skip several levels in a row, and you will never be like those hard-working politicians, who will send you to a certain county to be a county magistrate or even a county clerk or a master bookkeeper after half a year.
However, Xu Qian still thanked him and said, "Thank you for your cultivation." β
Yang Tinghe smiled and said slowly: "Yes, you are now Hanlin, but the old man has something to ask." β
Xu Qian said: "Please show me." β
Yang Tinghe Fu case, and said quietly: "There are many gossips outside, you know, right?" Bachelor Jiang is now sitting on pins and needles, and has been sick at home, the cabinet is understaffed, and the few people who have been selected to be edicted are also understaffed, and the old man plans to transfer you to the cabinet to wait for the edict, are you willing? β
Xu Qian couldn't help but be stunned.
It stands to reason that Hanlin has a lot of responsibilities, but how to distribute the responsibilities is a matter of the top, for example, some Hanlin is responsible for revising the scriptures and history, some are drafting edicts, and some are waiters, and there is no doubt that going to the cabinet to sit on duty is the most promising, Xu Qian has just become an official, and there is no chance to enter the cabinet to wait for the edict, but Yang Tinghe is a slapper, who has any objections?
Once you enter the cabinet seat, you are equivalent to entering the center of power, which is of great benefit to a new official.
Xu Qian obviously didn't expect that Yang Tinghe would give him such a big benefit, after all, Hanlin is a place to study knowledge, on the surface, it seems to be very noble, but his temperament is not stunned, but the cabinet is different, not only can you learn a lot of knowledge, know how the country works, and more importantly, it will be easier to become an official in the future than ordinary Hanlin.
This is the qualification, with the identity of the six heads, plus the gilding in the cabinet, this qualification is many years over forty, and the old fritters who have been officials for 20 years are not as good.
It's just that why did Yang Tinghe give himself benefits, Xu Qian thought: "Isn't it that while rectifying Jiang Mian, he let himself enter the cabinet, making people mistakenly think that he has won Yang Tinghe's 'favor', because he did something in the process of rectifying Jiang Mian?" Is this a divisive ploy? β
But then, he dispelled this year, if this is a discord, then it is too naΓ―ve, with Yang Tinghe's means, there is no need for this.
In any case, after thanking him first, Xu Qian hurriedly said, "The student is willing." β
Xu Qian still agreed first, Yang Tinghe seemed to be a little tired, and said with a smile: "The old man is not as good as you juniors who are proud of the spring breeze, and your body is a little tired, you go to the Qingsi to go through the formalities and go back to rest earlier, tomorrow I will go to Hanlin to order Mao, and then go to the cabinet to be on duty." β
Xu Qian went out in a daze, there are too many facts happening today, so that he can't be calm enough now, but happiness comes too much and too fast, and he really doesn't have time to sort it out carefully, bid farewell to Yang Tinghe, and go to the official Qingsi court on the side, there is already a long queue here, and the jinshi are obediently assessed like plague chickens, don't look at them now as officials on the gold list, but they are not even a fart in the eyes of the officials, so they naturally don't take them seriously.
However, Xu Qian was quite eye-catching, he directly explained the situation to a hall official, and this hall official also simply wrote the appointment, in duplicate, one for the Ji Xun Division, and one for Xu Qian, and said to Xu Qian: "Take this tomorrow to Hanlin to order Mao, as for the official robe and yarn hat, the official will take you to get it." β
It's not the same when people are famous, the more controversial the characters, on the surface, it seems to alienate people, but it's really convenient to get things done, because people are also afraid of trouble, rather than entanglement, it's better to do things neatly, and send you the plague god away. In addition, this is Yang Gong's instructions, in this ministry, Yang Gong is the king of heaven, and his words are more useful than anything else.
The official robe and gauze hat are not received in the Ministry of Rites, and they need to go to the Ministry of Rites with a strip, but the procedure is simplified, and the Ministry of Rites has already prepared, in fact, it is also afraid of trouble, so a special hall is set up here to be responsible for the entry and exit of these things.
Immediately, a set of official uniforms and gauze hats arrived, Xu Qian went out with his arms, thinking to himself, this court is stingy, they are all officials, and his mother only gives one set of clothes, don't you want to change them?
In fact, he thought too much, the Ming Dynasty was quite formal, and when it was a little informal, he didn't even give you this, became an official, and made it himself according to etiquette? It seems that Xu Qian also has to make a few sets of tailor-made ones.
Sitting in the sedan chair, I was really a little tired, I took a nap in the sedan chair, but when I got home, I found that it was not lively here, and everyone was silent.
Xu Qian was suspicious in his heart, it stands to reason that the Xu family should be very lively today, why is it so quiet? He got off the sedan chair and asked the sedan chair man to hold his black yarn and official clothes, only to find that there were still many people inside and outside the Xu family, but everyone didn't squeak, because there were many palace guards inside and outside the palace, full of slaughter, Xu Qian walked into the door quickly, and saw that Huang Gonggong was actually waiting here for a long time.
It's no wonder that when the Dongchang factory is here, who dares to dance and speak unscrupulously?
Seeing Xu Qianlai, Huang Jin immediately smiled, but this smile is not as sincere as usual, nor as natural as before, if you look carefully, you will find that Huang Gonggong's smile is a little bitter, like a young prostitute who is molested in the hook bar, very reluctantly.
Huang Jin greeted him, grabbed Xu Qian's arm, and said with a smile: "When our family heard the news, they immediately came out of the palace to congratulate them, Xu Zhuangyuan, let's talk inside." β
Xu Qian knew in his heart that Gonggong Huang was afraid that he had something serious to say, and he might have brought the emperor's message, so he simply nodded neatly and said, "Gonggong Huang, please." β

The second chapter was delivered, and this chapter was more difficult to write, so it was a little late, and finally asked for a monthly pass, asking for support!
