Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty was a scholar.

The two Song Dynasty imperial examinations were selected, and the number was as high as more than 100,000. There is no difference between the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty, even if they are poor students, they can get ahead in ten years. The morning is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is the dream of all scholars.

The boy wants to fulfill his life's aspirations, and reads the Pentateuch to the window.

This is Song Zhenzong's encouragement to readers in "Encouragement of Learning".

In the second year of Yongxi reign of Song Taizong (985), Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong personally tested the Jinshi Hall in the Chongzheng Hall in order to attract talents from all over the world, and named the new Jinshi for the first time, which is the origin of the roll call.

The official family of the Great Song Dynasty gave the first roll call, and it was generally in the place of the palace examination. The Northern Song Dynasty was in the Jiying Palace, and since then it has become customized, and the Southern Song Dynasty is the same. But when I got to the new emperor Zhao Hong, there was no roll call, and I heard that it was changed to a face-to-face award. There is no list to catch a son-in-law, and I heard that the forbidden army in front of the palace has closed the street to drive away the crowd.

Even this Qionglin banquet was changed to Yujin Garden.

Yujin Garden, one of the "Four Gardens of Tokyo", is located outside the Nanxun Gate in the south of Tokyo, which was originally the old garden of the Later Zhou Dynasty, which was built in the Later Zhou Xiande period and expanded in the early Northern Song Dynasty.

Yujin Garden sandwich road for the east and west two parks, there are few buildings in the park, the environment is quiet and profound, the trees are luxuriant, a piece of green, the scenery is beautiful, so Lin'an people call it "Qingcheng".

In the park, there are not only the school field where the emperor inspected the horse archery, but also the grain planting field, as well as the encircled rare animals and pavilions.

Yujin Garden is a royal tourist attraction, but also with the people to enjoy the early Northern Song Dynasty, Yujin Garden is open regularly every spring for visitors to go out and enjoy.

When the emperor visited Yujin Garden, he guarded the guard of honor and accompanied hundreds of officials. The flags are waving, and they are mighty. The royal car passed through the Xuande Gate, marched through the Royal Street, crossed the State Bridge, the Suzaku Gate, and the Longjin Bridge to reach the Yujin Garden outside the Nanxun Gate.

According to records, Song Taizu had 33 times to visit Yujin Garden, Song Taizong was fortunate 10 times, to the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor rarely went to Yujin Garden, it can be seen that the most prosperous period of Yujin Garden was the early Northern Song Dynasty.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, during the Jingkang period, after military disasters and floods, Yujin Garden gradually became barren, and the last trace is difficult to find.

The Song Dynasty crossed to the south, and Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong built another Yujin Garden in the south four miles outside the gate of Lin'an Jiahui, and in the period of Song Xiaozong, the development of Lin'an Yujin Garden was the most prosperous.

In the fourth year of Shaoxing, the golden envoy came to congratulate Song Gaozong on the Tianshen Holy Day, and then shot a banquet. Song Xiaozong once had a good time to play, and once ordered the crown prince, the chief executive, the prince, the attendant of the five grades or above and the officers in charge of the banquet and the salute. Later, the emperor was fortunate to become scarce, and the scenery in the garden gradually decayed.

During the Kaixi period of Song Ningzong, the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty returned in vain, and the queen Yang Guizhi and Shi Miyuan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, conspired to kill the powerful minister Han Yanxuan in Yujin Garden.

Since the new emperor Zhao Hong ascended the throne, Yujin Garden has resumed the liveliness of Song Xiaozong, and Zhao Hong often reviews the forbidden army drills here, and has become a military camp.

The garden is full of green trees and red flowers, fragrant grass, pavilions and pavilions, green water rippling, and the scenery is quiet. It's just that the men in helmets and armor are armed with guns and knives, and they are heavily guarded, which adds a bit of solemnity.

Since the Song Dynasty, all those who enter the palace examination are awarded officials, and there is no need to go through the selection examination of the Ministry of Officials.

Jinshi is divided into three grades: the first and third, the first name of the Jinshi and the first, the second and third names of the list, Tanhua; A number of second-class scholars, born as Jinshi; A number of the top three are given the same Jinshi background. The second and third leaders are all called Chuanlu, and the first, second, and third are collectively referred to as Jinshi.

Unlike previous years, this time, it was the official family who personally interrogated and then conferred the official.

To be precise, it is not a direct award, but a "proposed award". Because all the jinshi have to "intern" in the six departments, five temples and local areas for half a year before they enter the officialdom.

Zhao Hong is in front, all the "protégés of the Son of Heaven", the scholars are behind, the monarchs and ministers are accompanied, visiting the garden and enjoying the flowers, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

"Li Angying, do you have any thoughts about the award, you can put them forward."

Zhao Hong asked Li Angying, who was following, as he walked.

Gui is the top of the two lists of Xinke, Li Angying is fair-skinned and handsome, a typical scholar of the Great Song Dynasty. In any case, Zhao Hong also had to start with him to show the difference between Zhuangyuanlang.

"The eldest husband governs the country and the world, don't have any worries, in front of Your Majesty, if you have any ideas, just say it."

Seeing that Li Angying's face was flushed, and he seemed to be a little restrained, the ruling Zou Yinglong encouraged him.

"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to temper it locally, and I ask Your Majesty for permission."

The emperor personally asked, and Li Angying's face blushed and her heart beats.

The emperor is young and has no shelf, but he has his own majesty, which is heartbreaking.

"If you are asked to serve as the parent official of Yiwang County, you may not have experience. What do you think of letting you serve as the county magistrate of Yiwang County and the mayor of a township? ”

Zhao Hong groaned slightly and spoke.

In the Song Dynasty, the county governance was expected to be more than 4,000 households, more than 3,000 households were tight, more than 2,000 households were upper, more than 1,000 households were middle, and less than 1,000 households were middle. Wangxian is a large county with a large population.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The thunder, rain and dew are all military favors, and Li Angying hurriedly said yes.

What he didn't know was that these Jinshi had to "intern" in the six departments and five temples for half a year, and then go to the local state capital and county to experience before they could join the government and shepherd the people.

Zhao Hong took the booklet handed over by Zou Yinglong and looked at it.

"Li Angying, your mentor Cui He is now the Sichuan envoy, he is old, you will take the position of Chengdu County and County Cheng, and learn from Cui He first. However, I said that in the past, if the past assessment is not passed, I will punish or demote it. ”

When the champion of the dynasty, if the "internship" can't pass the test, it is really an embroidered pillow, and it is useless.

Li Angying's face turned red, and he hurriedly thanked him, and the officials on the side immediately wrote it down.

"Hong Tianxi, what do you think?"

Zhao Hong looked at Hong Tianxi and laughed.

"Your Majesty, the minister is a straight-tempered man who offends too many people. The minister wants to go to the local government to become an official. Please forgive your Majesty! ”

Hong Tianxi has a dark and thin complexion, a straight figure, and a loud voice, a typical-stirring stick, everyone is afraid.

"The imperial court is implementing a new law, and there is still a shortage in the anti-corruption department of Liangzhejiang West Road, are you willing to take on this important responsibility?"

Two Zhejiang West Road to Lin'an Mansion. Lin'an, Pingjiang, Zhenjiang, Huzhou, Changzhou, Yanzhou, Jiaxing, Jiangyin military subordination. This is the place where officials of the Southern Song Dynasty gathered, especially Lin'an Mansion was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

With this black-faced Hong Tianxi, he may be able to charge into battle and relieve pressure on Xu Liang.

Hong Tianxi was stunned and speechless for a while.

Once he held the official position of the Anti-Corruption Department of Zhejiang West Road, although the official rank was not high, he was extremely powerful. This is to offend the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and it is thankless.

"Forget it, don't force it. In my opinion, you are still ......"

Before Zhao Hong finished speaking, Hong Tianxi had already preemptively said:

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing!"

He has such a temperament, and he may be the most comfortable to do this thing.

The reason for hesitation is that I am afraid that I will not be able to do it well. Besides, I heard that the Anti-Corruption Division has no official position, and I don't know if it's true or not.

"Okay, you go to the Liangzhe Road Anti-Corruption Branch for an internship first, and then decide whether to retain it after half a year, depending on your performance."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thanksgiving! ”

Hong Tianxi was a little relieved. Someone with them is much better than a headless fly running around.

"Ma Guangzu, what do you think of you, Tanhua, going to Yangzhou as a picket in the army?"

Zhao Hong looked at Tanhua Ma Guangzu with a faint gaze.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ma Guangzu smiled all over his face and bowed.

What does the emperor say, can he still refuse?

Besides, I have to go to an internship for half a year, and who knows how well I perform.

"Ma Guangzu, I'm joking, you still take it seriously!"

Zhao Hong laughed, thought slightly, and then said:

"Ma Guangzu, I heard that you are knowledgeable, shrewd and capable, and I want you to serve in the Criminal Department. Jiangnan East Road criminal officer Song Ci is about to enter the court as a waiter in the criminal department, you follow him, have a good life and experience in the criminal department, and escort the implementation of the new policy for the imperial court. ”

The military police in the army, the graduates of their own martial arts hall to do. Let Ma Guangzu go, it's a bit overkill.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Ma Guangzu was overjoyed and kowtowed on the ground, and then stood up.

He liked the name of the penalty, but he couldn't imagine that the emperor would really let him go to the criminal department for training.

Following the famous Song Tixing, you have to cheer up and learn something.

"Huang Fu, I heard that you are skilled in arching and horses, so I appointed you as the county lieutenant of Shanyang County!"

"Zu Wu, your writing is good, and your articles are well done, so stay in Guozijian."

"He Yifeng, I heard that you have a good criminal name, so let's serve as the judge of Dengzhou."

"Zhao Ruteng, you are a child of the clan, you have been pampered since you were a child, and you need to temper it well. Let's take care of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War first, and start from scratch. ”

Zhao Hong and the "protégés of the Son of Heaven" talked cordially, one after another, approachable, without the slightest arrogance.

The vast majority of them, the imperial court has already drawn up official positions, and only the seven or eight people he selected, such as Ma Guangzu, Hong Tianxi and others, will ask them about their wishes.

After all, official positions are only granted for the first time, and the future of everyone depends on their future achievements.

"Jiang Wanli, we've known each other for a long time. Your younger brother Jiang Wanzai is now the commander of the Lizhou West Road, with thousands of troops and horses. You brother, you have to work hard! ”

Seeing his old acquaintance Jiang Wanli, Zhao Hong's face was full of smiles.

The elder brother was a scholar in the imperial court, and the younger brother was an officer in Jinling, a martial arts officer, and the Jiang family had many talents, all of whom were children of other people's families, and their eyes were full of tears when they talked about it.

"Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to go to the side to solve problems for Your Majesty!"

Jiang Wanli did not hesitate and directly expressed his ambition.

"Good! Be ambitious! I love it! ”

Zhao Hong and the officials next to him, Zou Yinglong and Zhen Dexiu, muttered a few words softly.

"Jiang Wanli, I ordered you to be the county magistrate of Xiangyang County, and if you pass the assessment in a year, you will go to Biansai to take up a post. Would you like to? ”

In fact, don't ask, Jiang Wanli will also answer yes. Xiangyang County was under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang Prefecture and was on the border of Song and Jin, and Zhao Hong did not fool him.

After a period of training, you can use it with confidence, and there is also a shortage of officials in the northwest border fortress.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thanksgiving! ”

Jiang Wanli, like Ma Guangzu, kowtowed and thanked him.

It's easy to think about the assessment.
