The Ming etiquette system was set last year.

The Chuan Xuan Grand Ceremony was promoted very high, second only to the enthronement of the Son of Heaven, the big wedding, etc., and belonged to the same level as the triumph of the military generals.

Therefore, all officials must wear court clothes, the whole body is crimson, and there are no birds and beasts or anything, highlighting unity, calmness and solemnity - the official clothes are divided into colors, and the clothes are embroidered with birds and beasts.

The hats are all worn into the virtuous crown, and there are three kinds of hat beams: seven beams, six beams and five beams.

The prince, the three divisions, the three dukes, and the prime minister (including the privy envoys, etc.), when wearing the Qiliang Jinxian crown, they also wear the Diao Chan crown (cage scarf).

The imperial historians of the Inspectorate added horns to the crown of Jinxian.

With the change of the grade of officials, it is necessary to hang jade swords, jade pendants, brocade ribbons and the like with different patterns.

Before dawn, the officials were already waiting.

Zhu Guoxiang was sitting in the Wende Hall at the moment and yawned, usually the court had postponed the time, but this kind of large-scale ceremony had to get up early.

"Official, it's time to ascend to the palace." The eunuch walked in and reminded.

"Ha~~~"

Zhu Guoxiang yawned again, stood up and stretched his waist to relieve his fatigue, and then walked towards the Jiying Palace.

"The emperor ascends to the throne!"

"The emperor ascends to the throne!"

“……”

One after another, the sound sounded, and the band began to play music.

There was also a whip sound in front of the Jiying Palace, and a few shouts, and hundreds of officials lined up to enter the Jiying Palace.

The new scholars, still wearing cloth clothes, stood outside the hall and waited for the preach.

A whole set of imperial examination procedures in the new Ming Dynasty set a new etiquette system last year. It integrates the ritual system of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is not the same, all according to the preferences of the Zhu family's father and son.

I was afraid that the jinshi would not understand, so they specially assigned the Honglu Temple official to guide them.

The chaotic Jinshi Jiadi of the Northern Song Dynasty was also unified by the Ming Dynasty.

One of the five people.

Ninety-five people in the second class.

The rest are all top three.

The yellow list has been filled in, and the top five are written by Zhu Guoxiang himself.

After organizing the exam, Meng Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was not allowed to participate in the questioning, invigilation and marking of the papers, but now he could arrange for the passing of the papers.

He stepped out of the Jiying Hall and stood between the palace gate and His Majesty. He was followed by the herald officer, as well as a few guards who were responsible for holding the yellow list.

Meng Zhao opened the holy decree and read: "The Ming Emperor said: On March 5 of the second year of Hongwu, he will test the tributes of the world. The first class is given to the Jinshi and the first, the second is given to the Jinshi origin, and the third is given to the same Jinshi origin......"

After the announcement was completed, Meng Zhao stood beside him.

The official stepped forward and personally opened the first yellow list: "Hu Quan, the first first, Hu Quan, the first first, the first Hu Quan......"

In the sound of ceremonial music, it was sung three times in a row.

Hu Quan trembled with excitement, and was guided by the ceremonial officer to the head of Dan Majesty.

This is the treatment that the old Song Dynasty did not have, and the new Ming Dynasty set a ritual system, and the new champion can "dominate".

Hundreds of jinshi looked at Hu Quan's back, and they all cast envious eyes.

This is the first champion who was allowed to stand at the head of the Aotou since the Tang and Song Dynasty imperial examinations!

The remaining four people in the first class, after hearing the roll call, stood behind the champion.

The second and third grades are called one after another, but only the top 10 of each can stand alone, and the rest are still standing in place.

"Kneel!"

Three hundred and fifty new science and technology scholars knelt down towards the Jiying Palace.

The kneeling salute of the new Ming Dynasty is very rare, only appearing on a few major occasions, and even deducting wages when kneeling indiscriminately.

The father and son of the Zhu family discussed it repeatedly, and believed that the ceremony must be bowed, firstly, because the level of the ceremony is very high, and secondly, the relationship between the monarch and the minister should be established before the jinshi became an official.

In front of these new science and technology scholars, it is possible that they will kneel to the emperor once in their lives.

And it's not just kneeling to the emperor, it's kneeling to worship the entire Jiying Palace, or rather, to bow down to the country!

Next, there is the release of the brown ceremony.

The Song Dynasty was set up after entering the temple to worship, and the Ming Dynasty was set up after the Confucian Temple, but the father and son were set after the transmission.

First, in order to shorten the process, etiquette should not be so complicated.

The second is to give respect to the jinshi, so that when they officially visit the emperor for the first time, they can wear official clothes instead of cloth clothes.

The Ming Dynasty is the most picky, and you have to go to the Confucian Temple to borrow official clothes to wear, and you must return them after participating in various ceremonies. The age of those official uniforms may be older than the grandfather of the new science and technology jinshi. Not to mention whether it fits or not, I don't know how many years I haven't washed it, and many of the official clothes smell of mold and sweat.

Students who have rented a bachelor's uniform for the graduation ceremony should be familiar with this.

Compared with the etiquette system of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, the father and son also made other changes-

The release ceremony, canceled, who said that officials have to eat meat?

The new science and technology priest sacrifice Confucius ceremony, don't do it, anyway, it's a thing that only arose in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Everyone was led to the Shengping Building next to it, where they received their court clothes and changed their clothes, which was much higher than the old Song Dynasty's change of clothes in the side hall.

The court clothes are divided into several batches according to height, including five feet, six feet, seven feet, and eight feet. Among them, the number of six or seven feet tall is the largest, and the new science and technology scholars can choose freely.

Boots and hats are similar, and they come in several sizes.

There is also a blank wat board, a Jinshi silk card, and a Jinshi hairpin flower.

"Congratulations, Brother Bang Heng!"

"Rejoice, rejoice!"

“……”

The new science and technology scholars changed their clothes, also put on hairpins, and congratulated each other with wat boards, and the champion Hu Quan was greeted the most times.

Yang Ji sighed: "Compared with the old Song Dynasty, the Ming court is more kind to our scholars. Brother Bang Heng can stand on the top as the champion, and our Shi Brown is also arranged in Shengping Building, which is something that has not been done before. ”

"Yes, the emperor's grace is great, we should do our best for Your Majesty and the court!" Everyone expressed their opinions.

When they say this kind of thing now, they should be sincere, and they are still excited and grateful.

Everyone chatted in the Shengping Building, until the official came in to remind them, and then went downstairs to line up to see the emperor in the Jiying Palace.

In this process, the kneeling salute was canceled.

The new science and technology scholars made a visit to the shrine, and the set of dancing was retained, because Zhu Ming thought it was interesting for everyone to dance the square dance together.

Li Hanzhang, the secretary of the ministry, personally announced the appointment of the new science and technology jinshi:

"Hu Quan, the first person in today's department, was awarded the Chengwu Lang (from the Jiupin Beijing official), and stayed in the cabinet to observe the government."

"Yang Ji, the second person in the current department, was awarded Zhilang (selected from the eight grades), and stayed in the cabinet to observe the government."

"Li Tong, the third person in the current department, was awarded the inheritance of Naolang, and stayed in the cabinet to observe the government."

"Li Gongmao, the fourth person in today's department, awarded Ru Linlang (selected from the eight grades), and stayed in the political court to watch the government."

“……”

Last year, a new court ritual system was formulated, and the civil and military official system of the Ming Dynasty was finally established.

Retain the old Song Dynasty's system of court officials, Beijing officials, and selection of people, and determine the salary based on this, which is equivalent to the title of an official.

As for the prefect and county orders, they are the duties of officials and are not linked to salaries.

The military generals are similar, and the military rank is equivalent to the title, so as to determine the treatment; Military positions belong to the position, and real power is determined.

The officials and jinshi present did not react to the award of Jilu officials, because the same was true of the new Jinshi of the old Song Dynasty. The champion must be the lowest-level Beijing official, while Bangyan and Tanhua are the highest-level candidates.

But what is the situation of all "viewing politics"?

Li Hanzhang explained on the spot: "From now on, the new science and technology jinshi will be ......sent accordingly only after observing the government for three months."

That is to say, if you are admitted to the Jinshi, you will be given a job title and you can receive a salary, but you will not be assigned a position until you have an internship.

There are five people in the first class, and they intern in the Cabinet and the General Administration.

Ninety-five people in the second class are interning in the middle and senior departments of the center.

Sanjia Jinshi, interned in the low-level departments of the center and Kaifeng Mansion.

Li Hanzhang continued: "The second-class and third-class jinshi must prepare for the examination during the period of observing the government, and they will be awarded the dispatch ...... through the selection."

That is, the second and third class jinshi, after the end of the internship, they have to take the exam, pass the specific government examination results, and combine their jinshi first, and then carry out the actual official arrangement.

Of course, if it is said that it is to observe the government in March, it will definitely be shortened as appropriate.

For example, a large number of officials in Guangdong will be dismissed, and 60 new science and technology scholars will be thrown over next month.

And like the old Song Dynasty, basically they will not let the new branch jinshi directly do the county order, they all start from the county master book or the like, or the affairs officials of the yamen such as the state government and the superintendent.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "During the period of observing the government, the new science and technology scholars can live in the Baozhen Palace. ”

The Shangqing Baoqi Palace, which was built by Huizong of the Song Dynasty specifically for Lin Lingsu, was expanded on the basis of the original Baoqi Palace, and it was also built to be connected to Yanfu Palace.

Now part of the building has been demolished, and it has been cut off from Yanfu Palace, and it is used as a dormitory for the new science and technology jinshi - this broken place can accommodate 2,000 Taoist priests!

There are also some buildings in Tokyo that have been temporarily turned into official dormitories.

For example, the Qishengyuan next to the imperial city, which was originally the official residence of the Five Dynasties period. Because Zhao Guangyi was born here, it was later rebuilt into the Qisheng Temple, which enshrines Zhao Guangyi's various royal things, as well as Zhao Guangyi's portraits, spiritual seats, and so on.

Its area is larger than the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, and it is now rebuilt as the official residence of the Beijing Dynasty.

After announcing this, the new science and technology jinshi Shane departed.

Zhao Ding, who had been promoted to the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, personally guided them out of Donghua Gate, and at the same time, some officials posted yellow lists outside Donghua Gate.

Hundreds of horses were brought from the Heavenly Prison and had been waiting outside the Donghua Gate for a long time.

Zhao Ding said with a smile: "Champion Lang, please get on the horse." ”

In the crowd of hundreds of onlookers, Hu Quan stepped on the stirrup and sat on the back of the horse, and found that Kaifeng Mansion Yin was leading the horse for himself, and hurriedly said: "I can't do it, I can't do it!" ”

Zhao Ding laughed: "This is Your Majesty's will, and in the future, the Kaifeng Mansion Yin will lead the horse to the street for the new champion." ”

Hearing this, Hu Quan's eyes were moist with emotion, and he couldn't wait to repay the king's kindness with death.

Other new science and technology scholars were also led by officials from Kaifeng Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

Zhao Ding introduced as he walked: "The spring breeze is proud, and I can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." In the future, the new science and technology jinshi should go south from Donghua Gate and cross the state bridge along the royal street. The team was divided into three, the champion led the team to the east, Bangyan led the team to the west, Tanhua led the team to the south, and finally returned to the Baoqi Palace to converge. ”

"Dang!"

The commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division personally struck the gong to open the way, and shouted along the street: "Xinke Jinshi, it's time to fight the streets!" ”

The long procession went to the Imperial Street, and the place where it passed was boiling and noisy, and the people of Tokyo helped the old and the young to watch the excitement.

The old Song Dynasty did not have this process, and it could only appear in opera.

Now it's bringing the opera into reality, and all the jinshi are excited and excited, riding horses in Tokyo to usher in the highlight of their lives.

Decades later, some people will be prosperous or some people will be disappointed, but today they must be deeply hidden in their memories.

(Today, I checked the information and found that in the Song Dynasty, there were two institutions: the Academy and the Hanlin Academy.) The Academy is equivalent to the Hanlin Academy in the Ming Dynasty, and the official positions are all Hanlin Bachelors, Hanlin Chengzhi and so on. The Hanlin Academy in the Song Dynasty raised a group of literary, painting, astronomy, medical, and craftsman officials, and the official position was a certain position in the Hanlin Academy. It was a little embarrassing, and it was the Zhu family and his son who merged the Academy and the Hanlin Academy, and took away the power to write the holy decree. ）

(In addition, the Cantonese official who died in the Dali Temple prison in the previous chapter was actually a businessman who conspired with eunuchs to buy officials and high promotions, so he was killed and robbed of his wealth.) What happened, there is no detailed record in the history books, this is an unsolved case at the turn of the two Song Dynasty. ）
