Chapter 560 Hanlin Qinggui (Part 4) [-]th

The second-tier and third-tier new Jinshi still need to be busy and work hard for the selection, but the Dingjia three can relax a little, because their next step is very clear.

Gao Yushi is the number one scholar, and together with Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan, they are called Sanding Jia.As a rule, they will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy, becoming a leisurely and luxurious editor from the sixth rank and the seventh rank.

As a rule, Gao Yushi must be compiling, and his main responsibilities are to master the history of the country, master the actual records, record the words and deeds of the emperor, give lectures on scriptures and history, and draft manuscripts related to ceremonies.However, in addition to editing history and compiling books, this errand also has another task, which is to observe politics, that is, to learn how the various ministries govern and how the cabinet handles official documents. One word is very suitable to describe: public travel.

Of course, in reality, the purpose of these practices is to prepare the nerds who are deaf to the outside world to prepare for politics.

Then after a certain Beijing inspection, they may be released to the prefect or the prefect of Zhili Prefecture, or they may serve as township, examination examiners, provinces and so on.

In short, it is to jump from an idle official of the sixth or seventh rank to a high-ranking official of the fourth rank, complete a gorgeous turn, become a CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life... This process is possible in the shortest three years, and the longest is ten years. Look at the age and ability of the officials themselves - as well as the opportunities, or the support of the nobles.

After one term is over, he will either be promoted to governor of a province, or move in from outside, and then he can be the servant of the six departments after opening a workshop.Therefore, although the Hanlin Academy is a Qingshui yamen, the courtesy of the Hanlin Academy is extremely high, and the promotion is extremely fast.

If you do well, you can be a governor or a minister in ten years. Although not always, there are many people.To put it simply, the Hanlin Academy is a good place where everyone yearns for while being idle.

Now that he has embarked on this fast track, a bright future is in front of him. In addition, he is qualified enough to say that he will definitely be supported by "noble people", so there is no need to try hard for promotion. What Gao Wuzhen has to do now Instead, it is to seek stability—in fact, seeking stability is the first key to being an official, in order to prevent the faster you climb and the worse you fall.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the Xinke Scholars went to the Ministry of Officials to report and participate in the selection of the library hosted by the Ministry of Officials.

Gao Yushi has nothing to do with this matter. His future is very promising. The top scholars in other dynasties may not have a good future, but the Ming Dynasty is different.In history, there were as many as 12 champions in the Ming Dynasty who joined the cabinet: Hu Guang, Cao Nai, Ma Yu, Chen Xun, Shang Ren, Peng Shi, Xie Qian, Fei Hong, Gu Dingchen, Li Chunfang, Shen Shixing, and Zhou Yanru.Of course, Zhou Yanru has not yet appeared, so it should be considered that there are already eleven of them. Compared with the number of Jinshi who entered the cabinet, this ratio is already very high.

Later generations have verified that there were a total of 91 champions in the Ming Dynasty, most of whom were of noble character, and many of them were brilliant.More importantly, some of them are self-promising, diligent in governing and loving the people, honest and upright, and upright;There are only a very small number of bad ones, and Zhou Yanru is the only one who is counted as a "traitor".

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty still attached great importance to Zhuangyuanlang.

It's just that the Wanli Dynasty's emphasis on Gao Liusong seemed a bit too much, even Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan were honored.Because people from the Ministry of Officials came yesterday, saying that according to the imperial edict, the three of them were asked to report to the Ministry of Officials to be appointed officials early this morning.

It was a bit early, and it seemed that the imperial court was eager to use the three of them. In fact, there were many people in the imperial court who were more experienced than them, so there was no rush to line up.

But since it was the emperor's edict and the Ministry of Officials' notice, the three of them had to report to the Ministry of Officials together early in the morning.

Gao Yushi used to only go to the cabinet, at most the six departments—because these two yamen are in the palace city.He had never been to the Ministry of Officials in person, and he was taken aback when he came today. Not to mention the lobby of the Ministry of Officials, there was a line of officials waiting to be interviewed outside which was nearly a mile long.

Xiao Liang was thirty-one years old, and he was the most mature and prudent among them. When he saw this situation, he said: "It seems that we are going to enter the Ministry of Officials, maybe after noon. Fortunately, Brother Qiuzhen took the servants with him. , I can buy a few pancakes to fill our stomachs later, so we won’t faint here from hunger.”

But Wang Tingzhuan smiled and said, "Brother Yizhan, you may be worrying too much."

Xiao Liang was puzzled and asked, "Why did Brother Jingqing say that?" Jingqing was written by Wang Ting.

Wang Tingzhuan said with a smile: "If others can't get in, it doesn't mean that brother Qiu Zhen can't get in too... right, brother Qiu Zhen?"

Gao Wushi smiled wryly and said, "Brother Jingqing, please don't make fun of me."

But Wang Tingzhuan grinned: "Hey, brother Qiuzhen, don't be polite. The way here is that the elders of brother Zhan's family have been officials outside. Maybe I don't know it. My father has been an official in Beijing for many years. How many brothers are there?" I also understand a little bit."

Hearing what he said, Gao Wushi realized that neither of these two could be regarded as complete rookies in the officialdom, they both came from the family of officials.Not to mention far away, Xiao Liangyou's father was a prefect; Wang Tingzhuan's father was a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wai Lang.

By the way, I have to mention that Wang Ting's eldest brother, Wang Tingshi, is now the deputy envoy of Shandong's inspectorate, a serious fourth-rank official in the imperial court.It can be seen that there are real "poor scholars", but in fact, more of them are the children of the "secular" family, but the official does not rely on the nine-rank Zhongzheng, but the scriptures.

Since they are all "insiders", Gao Wushi had no choice but to put away his fair and impartial face, and asked Gao Mo to pass his post to the officials.

The janitor was yawning, but when he saw the post, he got up immediately, and quickly came down from the yamen, bowed and bowed to the three of them, and after apologizing, he led him into the yamen, and all the officials waiting outside I was dumbfounded.

""Eh?I said, why is this young man so arrogant? "This is someone who is not convinced.

Immediately someone replied: "These three are the top three undergraduates."

"So what, I'm a fourth-rank Shangfu magistrate, and here he is queuing up as usual, so what about his new subject Sandingjia? The official appointment is only six or seven ranks!"

"Brother, I don't know, that Zhuangyuan Lang is Gao Wenzheng's nephew, Guo Ge's old disciple, and the six-scholar Gao Qiuzhen who has accompanied Wansui today for ten years."

"It turns out that... aha, the weather is really good today, and it's refreshing to line up here... Hey, brother, where were we chatting before?"

Don't talk about the outside discussion, but say that the doorman led Gao Yushi and other three people straight into the Wenxuan Department.Xiao Liang was surprised and said: "Shouldn't we go to visit the three hall officials first?"

The gatekeeper explained: "The No. [-] master doesn't know something. The two junior ministers are not appointed officials. As for the grand master, it is Guo Ge who is also in charge. Guo Ge always manages a lot of things. Officials below the fifth rank almost never ask for orders."

Gao Gong and Guo Pu are close friends of Gao Yushi, and together they have been in charge of the Ministry of Officials for more than ten years, so Gao Yushi still knows a little about the rules of the Ministry of Officials.

The rules in the yamen of the official department are very unique. When encountering any problems among the clerks of the other yamen, they will first discuss with the servants of the headquarters, the members of the same department, and the principal.It's not like this among the doctors of the various divisions of the Ministry of Officials. In many cases, they directly submit the ministerial documents face-to-face, and no one else can intervene.Among the four divisions of the Ministry of Officials, the doctor of the Wenxuan Division is in charge of the promotion of officials all over the world, so he can be described as a "little master".

Gao Wushi and the other three came to the gate of the Wenxuan Department, but saw more than a dozen officials waiting outside. Although all of them were tired from waiting, they sat quietly, not daring to show any signs of irritability. .

As for a senior official in the court room, dressed in a scarlet robe, he was bowing his head like a subordinate official, listening to the lecture, nodding his head from time to time.

Gao Yushi couldn't help but want to laugh, Wen Xuansi's doctor is only a fifth-rank official, and an official in a scarlet official robe, at least a fourth-rank or above, is now obediently listening to the training. This power is almost comparable to that of a cabinet minister.

After a while, the scarlet-robed official came down from the hall after listening to the reprimand. Not only was his expression not the slightest bit unhappy, but he was also slightly happy, and his steps were brisk. It seemed that he was expected to be promoted.

Then the three of Gao Wushi jumped into the queue and entered the court room. Others respected and feared officials from the Ministry of Officials, but Hanlin officials were a bit special and didn't need to look at his face.It's just that the three of them didn't lose their manners when they saw the fourth-rank officials obediently listening to the training just now, and said together: "I have seen Quan Cao."

Seeing the three of them, Wen Xuansi Langzhong said with a smile: "It turns out that Gao Liushou is here, oh, and there are two Dingjias... Please, please. Please."
