Prime Minister

Chapter 297 Episode Three

After writing the Xiaolu of the same year, it is about talking about teeth and worshiping Huang Jia.

All Jinshi gathered in the Sutra Library, with mats set up in the hall, Zhang Yue faced west, Chen Mu and Wang Zhichen sat on their own facing east, and the rest of the same age over 40 years old stood in the east corridor, and those under 40 years old stood in the west corridor .

The master of ceremonies made a sound, ordering the same year to pay respects, and to pay respects again.

Afterwards, an old man with white hair in the East Corridor came out of work, Zhang Yue got up from the mattress, and came to the courtyard to pay respects to the old man.

After the old man returned to work, a Jinshi in Xilang, who was about the same age as Zhang Yue, came to the courtyard and bowed to Zhang Yuechang.

This is worshiping the yellow armor.

This white-haired old man is the oldest among all Jinshi, he has already passed his sixtieth year, and the number one scholar pays homage to the oldest one first.

Afterwards, the youngest of all Jinshi, and Zhang Yue, was generally 17 years old, but Zhang Yue was two or three months behind.The youngest among the Jinshi will worship the champion again.

This is called worshiping the yellow armor.

Huang Jia means that the Jinshi list is written on yellow paper, so those who are among the Jinshi are called Huang Jia.

Afterwards, the Ministry of Officials annotated the new and dispatched Jinshi to issue another list of essays, called the Huang Jiaque List.

Immediately, the commander of the regiment came out and said: "The meaning of worshiping the yellow armor is to train those on the list not to judge each other by their academic names, but by their teeth. Those who are on the list should put righteousness first before profit, and rank Give in to each other, sympathize with each other in adversity, treat each other for a long time and meet each other far away."

Zhang Yue and other Jinshi present listened to the admonition and said yes.

Since the Tang Dynasty, Jinshi has regarded the same year as the brother, and the chief division as the teacher.

Although the Song Dynasty abolished the chief division as the teacher, all the graces were attributed to the officials, and the Jinshi were collectively called the disciples of the Son of Heaven.But the tradition of being brothers in the same year was still preserved.

After everyone sat down, they continued their conversations.

Just now, the old Jinshi who Zhang Yue paid homage to told some anecdotes.

Although this person is about to die, but because he has failed many times, he has heard a lot of rumors about the episodes and so on, so he sat there and talked eloquently, even a little bit condescendingly pointing everyone.

Zhang Yue also understands that he has been studying all the time before, and he is not very clear about these ways, and this is also the disadvantage of the poor family.

No one mentions the rules in the officialdom. This is due to Huang Jiaxu's same year, and everyone will do it, but how to choose who will join the game and who will arrange the money-raising period, these things I don't care about for a while.

While the Jinshi was talking, Wang Zhichen said to Zhang Yue: "Mr. Zhuangyuan, I have drafted a list about the regiment secretary. You can go over it. If there is no problem, follow the draft above."

Zhang Yue was displeased from the bottom of his heart. Before discussing this, you handed me a list. Are you the number one scholar or am I the number one scholar?

However, according to the rules, the top three members of Division A are eligible to select candidates for the regular call, so Wang Zhichen couldn't find reason for his behavior.

After Wang Zhichen finished speaking, several of the same year nodded. It seems that the other party also has appeal among Jinshi of the same year.But Zhang Yue also has charisma, that is the word champion.

But I am one of the youngest among the Jinshi.

Is it true that according to Bai Huangjiali's words, the ranks are ranked according to their age, so what's the point of having yourself as the number one pick?
Wang Zhichen's provocation was actually the first challenge Zhang Yue faced since he became an official.

Looking at the list that Wang Zhichen handed over, Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Brother Xi drew it up so quickly."

Wang Zhichen smiled and said, "Young Master Zhuangyuan is young, and I also want to help share more if I can. If Duke Zhuangyuan feels that I am presumptuous, then I will pay for it."

"Where is it?" Zhang Yue said with a smile, "I believe that Uncle Xi is definitely out of good intentions."

Everyone was watching how Zhang Yue would respond.

But Jian Zhang took the list more calmly, and asked the oldest Jinshi: "In Brother Mingde's opinion, who has been the regimental secretary in the past?"

The Jinshi known as Brother Mingde was also taken aback. Although he liked Da Da, he was also aware of the contest between Zhang Yue and Wang Zhichen, so he said cautiously and vaguely: "The regiment is responsible for organizing the banquet and checking all matters. , In the past, the candidates were all discussed and determined by the champion and the second place."

Zhang Yue asked with a smile: "So how did you discuss it in the past?"

"Well." The other party looked at Zhang Yue and did not let him go, and thought that the other party won the first prize at the age of 17, so he had better not offend him.

So this person gave up his ambiguous answer and said: "Most of the people who serve as regimental secretary are the top ten in the imperial examination, Jiake provincial examination, all kinds of examinations, and famous people."

Now Zhang Yue held up Wang Zhichen's list and said, "Uncle Xi, are the top ten in the palace examination and the provincial examination in Jiake and provincial examinations included?"

Wang Zhichen said unnaturally: "There may be some omissions, but there are many of them."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "The group secretary has a lot to do with Jiji. Whoever takes up the post and who doesn't, we must handle it fairly. Even among the top ten in the Jinshi Provincial Examination, some people may not be qualified. Uncle Xi, look at us again Discuss and discuss."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhichen nodded reluctantly.

The Jinshi named Ming De smoothed things over with a smile: "It's true, it's true."

After Zhang Yue and Wang Zhichen finished talking, they thought about how to kick Wang Kui out of the game.

At the moment when Zhang Yue found Han Zhongyan, Huang Lu said: "How to draw up the people in the regiment, and how to distribute the funds collected during the period, you two need to help me make up my mind."

When Wang Zhichen made things difficult for Zhang Yue, Han Zhongyan saw clearly from the side.He didn't say a word, seeing how Zhang Yue dealt with it, but seeing Zhang Yue's effort to resolve it, he was also admirable.

Now that Han Zhongyan sees that Zhang Yue is asking him for help, he takes a high look at him.

Huang Lu said: "Our students in Taixue must try their best to join the League Division, or participate in the set."

Zhang Yue nodded his head when he heard the words, he also understood from Wang Zhichen's incident that he was basically in a position, if he really offended someone, he would still offend him.

Huang Lu said: "Of the 24 students of our Taixue, except for you and me, brother Pu, none of them entered the top ten of the Jinshi Jia Division and the Provincial Examination."

Zhang Yue said: "Then you choose a few who are outstanding, and I will try my best to let more students from the Taixue join the regiment division."

"it is good."

Zhang Yue thought of Wang Anli, Wang Jiong, Liu Fengshi and so on.

Zhang Yue came forward to invite one by one, and finally Chen Mu and Wang Zhichen discussed and decided on the candidates for the regiment secretary, a total of 50 people.

The top ten in the provincial examination for Jinshi all served as regimental secretary, but Wang Kui, No. 6 in Jinshi and No. 3 in the provincial examination, did not enter.

As for the reason, outsiders dare not ask too much.

As the "officer" who presides over the episodes, the group secretary is a fixed candidate for each episode. As for how other Jinshi will enter the game, it will be discussed again.

The new Jinshi all like to enter the game, so they always entrust people or come to Zhang Yue for activities.This circle in Tongnian is so important, not only Tongnian himself, but even the descendants of each other have loved each other for several generations. Afterwards, promotion will show mutual honor, and relegation will be humiliating together.

The most famous one is that Jinshi openly formed a party in the third year of Taiping Xingguo.The number one scholar Hu Dan relied on Song Taizong's appreciation to fight against Prime Minister Zhao Pu. He, Dong Yan and Chen Xiangyu of the same year often gathered at Zhao Changyan's home in the same year for long talks all night, discussing the ministers of the court.

Dong Yan and Chen Xiangyu were nicknamed Dong Midnight and Chen Sangeng.

As a result, Hu Dan and the others were young people after all, they were originally used by Zhao Kuangyi to deal with Zhao Pu, but they were dealt with by Zhao Pu instead.

In addition to this list, the fifth year of Taiping Xingguo and the fifth year of Tiansheng are also the list of prime ministers, and they assisted each other in the same year.

It is decided by the examiner who is the same year, but the friendship of the same year forms a circle, but it must be consolidated through the collection.Therefore, why new Jinshi are so keen to participate in the Jiji is also here, because after the Ministry of Officials confers officials, all Jinshi, including the number one scholar, must go to the local government to serve as officials.

Only at the meeting before the official appointment can everyone win over the relationship, no matter how bad it is, they must get acquainted.

In the same year, Xiaolu was written and Huang Jia was paid homage to.

All the young people sat down and ate tea and fruits, and seized the time to talk about friendship and discuss raising money during the period.

Some people can be eliminated by collecting money in the future...

It is very unfair to Jinshi from a poor family, but it is also true, and we have to adopt a screening method.

The money collected in the period is 180 guan, which is still under tight use. There are 100 seven Jinshi in Zhang Yue's subject. Assuming that [-] people enter the game, each of them will give out [-] guan.

Generally speaking, it is distributed according to the ranking. For example, Zhang Yue has to pay the most money as the number one, while Chen Tao has to pay less as the last one.

But in fact, in order to obtain the status of entering the game, the low-ranking Jinshi paid more money for the lower-ranking Jinshi, and Zhang Yue and other top three did not have to pay.

Zhang Yue sighed that in any era, the winner takes all, and there is no exception.

Many wealthy Jinshi said out loud that they would use the method of paying more to raise money in order to obtain the qualifications for admission.One of them was a son of a wealthy businessman, and he was willing to give ten times the expected money.

At this time, someone in the audience suddenly talked about Lu Wenhuan's story, which seemed to mean something.

Lu Wenhuan, the No. [-] scholar in the second year of Tang Guanghua, organized a period collection with great ostentation. Those who had money in the same year could not afford it, so they were reluctant to go there.One day, Lu Wenhuan asked everyone to come out in the same year with his eyesight, and a Jinshi named Liu Can couldn't afford the money.

Lu Wenhuan immediately confiscated his donkey, but Liu Can pleaded that the donkey was not his, but was lent to him by someone else.

Lu Wenhuan scolded, medicine can't cure dizziness, and sickness can't be cured.

The words came from Shangshu, and the implication of Lu Wenhuan's words is that if you don't give you strong medicine now, your poor disease will not be cured.

After four years, Liu Can became famous and Lu Wenhuan was frustrated.When Liu Can met Lu Wenhuan, she satirized him with this sentence.

There are quite a few people like Lu Wenhuan, and even the number one scholar used the banquet to extravagantly squeeze the same year and benefit from it.

Anyway, thinking of Lu Wenhuan, Hu Dan and Zhang Tangqing, Zhang Yue knew that it would be smooth sailing if he won the No.

Zhang Yue decided to change the rules, and suggested changing the period set from one banquet every five days to one banquet every three days. The banquet does not pursue luxury, but enough food is enough. At the same time, the number of people should be a hundred people, so that everyone in the same year can participate as much as possible Several episodes.

Zhang Yue also took the initiative to take out one hundred guan as the fee for the regular collection, in order to block the mouths of many people, and let every Jinshi contribute some of the regular collection money to enter the game.

Han Zhongyan lamented that Zhang Yue didn't take advantage of this opportunity to form a small group, exclude and suppress people, and finally invited the same year to enter the game with the method of rain and dew.

Is this first-class pedantry?Or is the plotter very big?
Is it true that he wants to be a lonely minister as he and the emperor said in the palace examination?But looking at the way he wins him over, Huanglu and letting his confidant serve as the regiment secretary, it doesn't feel like it?
What exactly does Zhang Yue want?I can't understand it myself.
