Chapter 169: Qionglin Banquet

On this occasion, the Qionglin banquet is to show grace, and the other is to communicate, everyone is planning for their own future, and whoever wants to eat here must have the wrong brain.

Therefore, Wei Chen just grabbed a few quick moments at random, and then prepared to get up and leave the table and go to toast to the chief officials in the hall.

At this moment, Li Zuochang, the top eye, and Cai Xuan, Tanhua, came to Wei Chen's side together.

The two first exchanged a glass of wine with Wei Chen, and then said: "After two dates, you must go to the country to worship Huang Jia, and talk about the same year, and then ask Brother Wei to write a small record of the same year, for the purpose of getting close in the future." ”

"Wei Chen is ordered."

Wei Chen made a gesture and replied to the two half-jokingly, Li Zuochang and Cai Xuan also laughed a few times, caught the atmosphere, and didn't let Wei Chen's humor fall to the ground.

Today in the Chongzheng Palace, Wei Chen is so favored by the Son of Heaven, everyone sees that Wei Chen is not only the sixth yuan and the first, but also got the holy scroll, the future can be said to be bright, smart people will not be enemies with him, on the contrary, they must deliberately get close to each other.

Li Zuochang and Cai Xuan were in the same year as Wei Chen, and the two knew how to behave, so they soon had a good conversation with Wei Chen.

After chatting a few more words, the two turned around and said goodbye, and continued to discuss the matter of Xiaolu in the same year with other new science and technology scholars.

The so-called small record of the same year is actually similar to Wei Chen's classmate record in his previous life, but it is more cumbersome and complicated than the classmate record.

Not only the names, family backgrounds, and names of the three generations of all the new science and technology scholars are recorded, but even the surnames and birthplaces of the mother and wife must be recorded.

Of course, there are also edicts issued by the Son of Heaven, examiners' names, exam questions, etc., etc., and so on.

Of course, such a huge amount of work cannot be completed by only three or five people, and all new science and technology practitioners must participate in it.

In fact, the organization should have done the task of allocating manpower by Wei Chen, but since Li Zuochang and Cai Xuan took the initiative to take the burden, Wei Chen was also happy to be idle.

Not long after sending Li Cai and the others away, Wei Chen also got up and left the table and walked to the seat where the officials attending the banquet were located.

Among the officials present, Shoufu Han Zhang's mother was undoubtedly the most noble person, and the most people gathered around him to toast.

The second most is Zhou Boyi, the secretary of the ministry.

The new science and technology jinshi have to be plugged into the six departments and the nine Qing yamen in the government in March, depending on their performance, in order to be officially awarded inside and outside. And the right to go to the ministries to observe the distribution of government, as well as the final power of evaluation, are in the hands of the ministry.

Therefore, these new science and technology scholars naturally want to befriend Zhou Boyi, in order to gain Zhou Boyi's appreciation and assign themselves a good place.

However, Wei Chen doesn't have to be like this.

Wei Chen is the champion and the first, Shi Brown was awarded the six products to revise, and since then he has become a member of the Hanlin Academy.

The reason why Hanlin is noble is because the Hanlin Academy is self-contained, and it has little to do with the other six departments and nine kings, and only needs to be responsible to his direct superiors, which is why Hanlin has such a hard waist.

Moreover, according to the tradition of emphasizing the background of the imperial examination in the officialdom, no matter what their rank is, these Hanlin officials who meet non-Hanlin officials with official positions below the third rank on weekdays will not have the slightest respect, but feel that they are superior.

As a future member of the Hanlin Academy, Wei Chen didn't need to flatter Zhou Boyi, the secretary of the ministry, like other new scholars, he only needed to find his direct boss, Liu Tingxi, the Hanlin scholar in charge of the Hanlin Academy, and bow to the dock.

Wei Chen glanced at the audience and quickly found the location of Liu Tingxi, who was sitting in his seat at this moment, with a surging expression to deal with the new science and technology jinshi who came to toast.

There are not many people around Liu Tingxi to toast, after all, only Sanding Jia can be directly awarded the official title of Hanlin, and among the remaining new scholars, only a small number of people can pass the court examination to enter the Hanlin Academy.

Wei Chen stepped forward slowly and bowed to Liu Tingxi: "Xiaguan has seen the head of the courtyard. ”

Liu Tingxi saw Wei Chen, nodded slightly, and then said with a solemn expression: "When you enter the Hanlin Academy in the future, you need to have a good life to temper your mind, devote yourself to studying, and you must not be frivolous and impetuous. It must be known that the most important thing in the Hanlin Academy is the champion. ”

"There is no shortage of champions in the Hanlin Academy, but I am the only one who has been the champion of the sixth yuan and the first since ancient times."

Wei Chen secretly added a sentence in his heart. However, he also understood that Liu Tingxi didn't want him to be complacent, so he spoke out.

The other party's kindness, Wei Chen naturally would not fail to appreciate it, and bowed down at the moment and said: "The lower official should remember the teachings of the master. ”

"You can teach."

Liu Tingxi was very satisfied with Wei Chen's modest attitude, smiled and nodded, and then said softly: "Let's go, go with this academy to toast Scholar Han." ”

Wei Chen should claim that it is, but he doesn't know that this is another promotion by Liu Tingxi to him.

Liu Tingxi knew very well in his heart that when the previous palace test was determined, Han Zhang was reluctant to let Wei Chen take the champion, but he didn't want to see the birth of Xiangrui, who was six yuan and the first, which added confidence to Zhao Zhen's single-mindedness, and he didn't have any opinions on Wei Chen himself.

And Liu Tingxi can faintly feel that Han Zhang still admires Wei Chen in his heart, which can be seen from Han Zhang's performance in the Chongzheng Hall today.

Therefore, Liu Tingxi asked Wei Chen to toast Han Zhang with him, so as to ease the relationship between Wei Chen and Han Zhang, which will also help Wei Chen in his future officialdom.

Liu Tingxi's considerations did not make it clear to Wei Chen, Wei Chen just followed the instructions of his boss and followed him to Han Zhang to toast.

Han Zhang was talking to an official of the Ministry of Rites at this time, and when he saw Wei Chen, he didn't pay attention immediately, but continued to finish talking to the official next to him, and then turned his head to look over.

As the first assistant below the Great Zhou people and above the ten thousand people, this thin little old man naturally had an aura of non-anger and self-authority in his eyes, which made Wei Chen's heart awe-inspiring.

After Wei Chen's salute, Han Zhangyu said: "Talent also needs to be virtuous, and those who are ministers should have a backbone, and they should not be flattering." The old man did not approve of your palace's trial and question, but His Majesty appreciated you very much, so he named you as the champion. ”

After listening to Han Zhang's words, Wei Chen couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart, it seems that this Shoufu Lord is not very satisfied with himself, and he will have to be a man with his tail between his legs in the future.

Wei Chen finished saluting a glass of wine and retreated depressedly, but Liu Tingxi on the side laughed and said: "Don't mind Zhuangyuanlang, Scholar Han is like this, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, don't look at him teaching you a serious lesson now, maybe I can't wait to recruit you to be his grandson-in-law!" ”

Liu Tingxi is much more familiar with Han Zhang than Wei Chen, and in Liu Tingxi's heart, Han Zhang has never been a direct minister.

"You, you, a dignified bachelor, are still so open-mouthed in front of juniors, it's really unseemly!"

After being teased by Liu Tingxi, Han Zhang didn't get angry, but just pointed at Liu Tingxi and scolded with a smile.

Wei Chen watched from the sidelines, not daring to speak at all, the two elders joked with each other, but it was not something that he, a little ant, could participate in now.

Han Zhang chatted and laughed with Liu Tingxi for a few words, then turned his head to Wei Chen and said, "Champion Yuangong, you will write the thank you table for Your Majesty this time." Write well, and don't let down Your Majesty's upliftment. ”

"Don't let down the promotion of Han University." Liu Tingxi added with a smile on the side.

"Yes."

Although Wei Chen felt a little dazed, he still nodded hurriedly and said yes.

Han Zhang ordered someone to take pen and ink, and Wei Chen wrote a pen and wrote a thank you table on the spot, which was circulated in four places, and everyone was amazed.
