Chapter 61: Entering the Palace

Next.

Wei Chen and the three of them rushed to the Yamen of Tixue Dao early in the morning, and the other fifty-two new students also arrived.

Under the leadership of Wei Chen, a group of scholars paid homage to the walrus, and from now on, the walrus will be regarded as the teacher of more than 50 people.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were two types of teachers.

One is the teacher who teaches the students knowledge, called the karma teacher; One is the official who presides over the imperial examination, called the seat teacher.

According to the different sessions of the scientific examination, the seat teacher can be divided into the hospital test master, the township test seat teacher, and the meeting test seat teacher.

When it comes to the more advanced palace examination, there is no such thing as a teacher, because all the jinshi are hand-picked by the Son of Heaven, that is, the so-called protégés of the Son of Heaven.

The status of the karma teacher is not as good as the seat teacher, which is a common practice among the corporals nowadays.

After all, most of the teachers are from Xiucai, and the teachers are all court officials from Jinshi, which are closely related to the future career of the scholars, and they are obviously more worthy of climbing.

Of course, this is only a general statement, and when it comes to the scholar personally, it still depends on the trade-off in the scholar's own heart.

For example, Wei Chen, although he also respects the walrus Qian, the master, he is closer to Shi Kai, Lin Yan, Zhuang Jun and others who get along with him day and night.

After worshipping the teacher, the walrus Qian, who is a student and politician, naturally has to admonish and encourage, and then in front of the teachers of the prefecture and county, the students are assigned to enter the school according to their place of origin.

According to the rules, five people are each taken from the government school and the county school, whether it is the first school in the government school or the first in the county school, they can be directly guaranteed as a student, and the rest are proliferated.

Students with the highest scores in the college examination can be selected first, and decide whether to go to the prefectural school or the county school.

In addition to having the privileges of not worshipping officials, exempting from military service and food, and not being punished by ordinary students, there are also many benefits.

First of all, the government gave six buckets of rice every month, and since then you can study with peace of mind and no longer worry about eating.

Secondly, students can also guarantee candidates in the children's examination (collectively referred to as the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination) to earn extra money.

Wei Chen's family's previous dozen acres of paddy fields were earned by Wei Mingzhao in this way.

In addition to these two benefits, the Dian Sheng can also be elected to the national eunuch and become a tribute eunuch, while the proliferation and lower epiphytes do not enjoy this treatment.

For example, Wei Chen's scripture teacher Lin Yan was once a student of Jiangning Fuxue, and was later selected to pay tribute to the national prison, and after passing the assessment at the end of the period, he was directly sent to the county school as a professor and became a member of the school officials.

After the walrus dry finished talking about the difference between the proliferation and hyperplasia, a scribe immediately presented pen and ink and asked the student to fill in the personal confession (personally written resume).

Wei Chen is the head of the hospital examination case, of course he was the first to come forward to choose, he couldn't help but smile when he saw this, looking at this posture, it was very similar to his college entrance examination in his previous life.

Wei Chen took the pen from the scribe's hand, and without hesitation, he filled in the school and handed it in, occupying the only place for the school in Jiangning this time.

Naturally, the prefectural school is better than the county school.

The county school teaching is only lifting people, but the government school teaching is a jinshi, which is a gap that is visible to the naked eye.

Besides, with Shen Du, a cheap senior brother, Wei Chen can be much more comfortable in the school.

Old Sect Lu of Fuxue looked at the confession handed over by Wei Chen, nodded with satisfaction, and immediately issued a seal on the confession, which can be regarded as approving Wei Chen's admission.

After Wei Chen, Wang Yaochen, Weng Dingfan, Tang Henian, and Sheng Changbai stepped forward in turn, and they all chose Fuxue, but the quota of the students had been taken up by Wei Chen, and they could only be replaced.

It's just that the four of them have a good family, and they don't care about the little money and food they have.

As for the fact that only the students can participate in the tribute election?

The four of them are all people who think very highly of themselves, and what they think about is the township test in three years, just a tribute eunuch, where can they be happy to raise people's fame?

What's more, after winning the promotion, it is still possible to be elected to the national prison, and it is not too late to think about these when the time comes.

After the top five, the rest of the students also made their own choices one after another.

Although Tao Dazhi was only the tenth place, he was lucky enough, and the people in front of him either entered the school or were not from Jiangning County, so Tao Dazhi was able to enter Jiangning County to become a student.

As for Chen Jun, he fell to thirty-two in the hospital examination this time, only in the middle of the stream, which was much worse than his ranking in the government examination, and he could only enter Youyang County to become a student.

After everyone has decided where they are going, they have written their personal confessions, and after they have been sealed by the edicts, they can be officially called members of the body in terms of paperwork.

The students stepped back and changed into blue crewneck shirts and square scarves.

Wearing this shirt means that you have already achieved fame, although it is the lowest fame, you can also see the official without worshipping.

The neatly dressed students returned to the lobby, and the walrus personally put on flower branches cut from colorful silk for them to perform the hairpin ceremony.

With the bright flower branches on his head, Wei Chen always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that if he laughed at the moment, it would really be "flower branches trembling".

After the hairpin ceremony, the sentient beings came out of the Yamen of Tixue Dao in turn and walked to the Fuxue Palace.

This is the "hairpin flower qua street".

Along the way, the official sounded the gong to open the way, Wei Chen, who was the head of the case, walked in the front, and the rest were ranked last according to their ranking.

Both sides of the road are crowded with people watching the excitement, all wanting to come to see the demeanor of the new talents, pointing along the way.

When he arrived in front of the Fuxue Palace, the official did not dare to sound the gong again, and the walrus stepped forward and said loudly: "The new students have arrived, and the household is opened!" ”

After speaking, the three red doors in front of the school palace covered with yellow copper nails were opened from the outside to the inside by Zanlisheng.

Wei Chen looked from afar, but after seeing the triple gate, there was Panqiao Panshui, and after Panshui, there were more than a dozen steps, and the steps led to the magnificent Dacheng Palace. In the Dacheng Palace, the main worship is the holy master, and the four and twelve philosophers are worshipped.

"New students are invited!"

Hearing the celebrant shout these words, all the students couldn't help but breathe rapidly.

Enter the palace and wander the pan.

This is the lifelong dream of a scholar!

At that moment, the students raised their folded hands, bowed their heads and walked forward, all the way through the Lingxing Gate and the Halberd Gate, and moved forward along the central axis of the school palace.

Stepping through the halberd gate, the half-moon-shaped blue pond in front of you is the pan pond.

The Pan Bridge on the Pan Pond can only be passed by people with meritorious reputation, otherwise they can only be detoured.

The sentient beings walked across the Pan Bridge and walked to the outside of the Dacheng Hall, and the salutant said loudly: "Make a great salute!" ”

The students got up after the ceremony, and then performed the ritual of cleaning their hands, and after entering the palace to worship, they retreated to the Minglun Hall in the east of the palace, and then it was considered a great success.

The sentient beings took off their restraints, their faces were full of relaxed smiles, and they bowed to each other at the moment, talking and laughing.

Jiangning Mansion is a strong imperial examination house, according to the convention, among the more than 50 students in front of him, there must be a few jinshi, these are all future connections, and everyone naturally wants to get to know each other.

Everyone gathered together, first in the preface, with the gift of the elder and younger, and then the fellowship of the generations.

Wei Chen couldn't help but suffer a little at this time, after all, he was less than twelve years old when he was full, and he was a well-deserved younger brother.

Of course, this is because all the people present are students, if it is a child who has no fame, then it is another matter, even if the other party is old enough to be Wei Chen's grandfather, Wei Chen can call the other party a little friend lightly.
