After receiving the holy decree in a daze, Zheng Xiong was also confused, not knowing what Lao Zhu meant.

Besides, it's not a big deal to be an attendant, and it's not a murder, no matter how brutal Lao Zhu is, he won't give you a slap for no reason.

Secretly warn yourself that when the time comes, you must be absolutely cautious in your words and deeds, and bury your head in an ostrich, so that you will not notice yourself.

Time flies, early in the morning of the first day of March, I open my heavy eyes, wash up, take my identity certificate and walk to the palace.

The New Year gave Lao Zhu a New Year's greeting, how this path went down and did not forget, came to the noon gate to check in, not a big court, so there were not many people who came, and the quality was not high.

First, the general promotion

The chief promotion officer is the official who is responsible for the overall command and dispatch of the palace examination.

The post of the chief promotion officer is set up as two members by the imperial court.

These two chief promotion officers are served by two officials from Zhongshu Province.

2. Examiner

Reading the papers, for the imperial examination in the palace examination of the official name, by the emperor hand-appointed ministers, this position began in the Song Dynasty, the Ming and Qing dynasties along the place.

The post of the reading officer was set up by the imperial court as four.

These four examinees are respectively served by the following four officials.

One doctor

In addition, it is responsible for recording and compiling the edicts and supervising the implementation of the edicts; Serve as an examiner during the township examination, serve as the same examiner during the general examination, and serve as the examiner during the palace examination (there may be differences before and after); When canonizing clans and vassals or admonishing foreign countries, he shall serve as the chief and deputy envoys; It can also accept unjust lawsuits, etc. Although the quality is humble and weighty. It was initially determined to be the fifth grade, and then changed the rank several times, and the lowest was the ninth grade.

Edited by one person

The Tang Dynasty History Museum has officials who revise and revise the history of the country. In the Song Dynasty, there was a revision officer in charge of the actual record. The National History Institute of the Liao Dynasty and the Hanlin Academy of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties all had revision officials, from the six products.

3. Proctors

The proctor is the official who is responsible for supervising the imperial examination.

The post of proctor is set up by the imperial court as two.

These two invigilators are served by two imperial historians.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the establishment of the Inspectorate was in fact the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Metropolitan Procuratorate, signed by the official, was the highest supervision, impeachment and advisory organ in the Ming and Qing dynasties. During the Hongwu period of Ming Taizu, the imperial history was changed to the Imperial Inspectorate, and the chief was the left and right imperial history, which was the second grade; There is a vice-capital imperial history, which is the third product, and the left and right are the imperial history, which is the fourth product. According to the thirteen provinces, it is divided into supervising the imperial history, patrolling the prefectures and counties, and specializing in the investigation and impeachment of officials.

Fourth, the palm, the volume, and the sealing officer

Sealing officer: The official who is responsible for sealing the test paper.

For the posts of the official in charge of the file, the official receiving the file, and the official of the seal, the court shall each set up a member.

Each of the three officials is headed by a director.

In the Ming Dynasty, the chief of the ministry was set up, and the official rank was promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, which was the lowest level among the ministers and officials.

Fifth, to the reading officer

For the reading officials, in the imperial examination, the officials who are responsible for proofreading the transcribed Zhu scroll with the original ink scroll.

For the post of reading official, the imperial court is set up as two members.

These two are the secretaries and editors.

Si Cheng, Ming Shi is the sixth product or from the sixth product, and his position is different.

Editing, the Ming and Qing dynasties belonged to the Hanlin Academy, compiling and correcting the seven products, the position is second to the revision, and the revision and review are called the same historians.

Search and coercion, responsible for the search of the body in and out of the imperial examination, and the behavior of carrying in the examination.

The prison gate patrol is responsible for the supervision of the entrance of the examination room during the imperial examination, and the patrol of the examination room.

7. The Ministry of Rites is promoted to a higher officer

The Ministry of Rites is the host department of the palace examination, so there is a special official who directs and dispatches the Ministry of Rites.

The post of the official promoted by the Ministry of Rites is set up by the imperial court as two members.

The promotion of the Ministry of Rites is served by the two Shangshu.

Just like the last time I was here, hiding in the corner and shivering. In the big room, two people from Zhongshu Province, Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong. Liu Bowen in the imperial history was demoted to Song Lian who was edited by Hanlin.

It is worth mentioning here that Liu Ji, Song Lian, Zhang Yi, and Ye Chen are also known as "Mr. Zhedong Four".

At this stage, the Zhejiang faction led by Liu Ji in the imperial history is the main force of Zhu Yuanzhang to attack the Huaixi nobles.

Divided into two circles, there is a clear distinction, and some are incompatible.

The gods fought, the mortals suffered, and none of the big guys in the group were lower than the seventh grade, so they didn't dare to say anything, and they didn't dare to ask anything.

Fortunately, this process did not last long, Lao Zhu was still very diligent, and after being notified, the group rushed to the Baohe Palace.

The palace examination only examines the policy questions, and the candidates enter from dawn, and go through the rituals such as roll call, scattering papers, praising and bowing, and then issue the policy questions.

When a group of officials arrived at the Baohe Hall first, Lao Zhu held an impromptu meeting to confirm the responsibilities of everyone.

At this time, the people who took the exam had already taken the roll call, arranged their seats, and then scattered, saluted, and saluted, and the official exam began.

Only the test is a test, it completely depends on the on-the-spot performance, an hour of time, two hours, not only to do a good answer, but also to copy it again, the time is still very tight.

Zheng Xiong was very bored when he sat in front of the hall, there was no shortage of tea and snacks, he didn't dare to drink, and the urgency of urination was not easy to solve, but he ate a few pieces of dim sum to fill his stomach.

Other people whispered in twos and threes, and if they didn't know Zheng Xiong, they naturally wouldn't take him to play.

There were two enthusiastic people who chatted with Zheng Xiong for a few words, some people chatted, and they also dealt with a few words casually, they didn't want to have a deep friendship, most of the officials present were Huaixi officials, but they were all the targets of Lao Zhu's attack, and it was not good to get involved by themselves.

It was not easy to get the candidates to finish the exam, and it was a nervous marking, there was no Zheng Xiong's business, it was very uncomfortable to just do it, and I sat from noon to afternoon, and I moved a little while eating, and I didn't dare to move at other times, and the loss of honor in front of the emperor was another crime, and I was more tired than doing a train at the end of the day, and my back hurt.

The next day, after resting, Zheng Xiong was full of vitality.

The rankings are also ranked, the first place is naturally Guo Chong from Shanxi, like history, he looks a little ugly, Lao Zhu considers the high exposure rate of the first champion, so he only ranks second.

Although Wu Bozong, a handsome guy from Jiangxi, was only ranked twenty-four, he was still caught by Lao Zhu at a glance and was named first.

This exam is also for the selection of officials, Lao Zhu did not procrastinate, and was directly canonized, Wu Bozong directly sealed the Ministry of Rites Wailang, from the five grades, it can be said that he has ascended to the sky in one step, and the starting point is a lot higher than the average person.

Zheng Xiongju was born in a person, and he was a nine-rank sesame official at the beginning, and he was promoted to the eighth rank because of his merits.

Guo Chong is not bad, the head of the Ministry of Officials, the official of the sixth grade, is better than Wu Bozong in terms of power, and it can be regarded as Lao Zhu's compensation.

The Jinshi present all started from the eighth grade, and the smallest ones were all county orders.

Seeing that it was coming to an end, Zheng Xiong was still confused, what did he call himself to do, did he make soy sauce.
