Jinyi champion

Chapter 504 Biography

In the early morning of May [-]th, all the tributes gathered outside the palace as before when they participated in the palace examination, but this time they did not need to enter the palace gate, but came outside the left gate of Chang'an to wait for the announcement.

"Ming Hui Dian" records in detail the release process after Yongle.

"...give a banquet to the officials who read the papers. After the banquet, the banknotes will still be returned to the East Pavilion, and the second and third grades will be unpacked and sent to the cabinet one by one to fill in the yellow list. Tomorrow, all the paper readers will go to the Huagai Palace, and the cabinet officials will unpack them The three volumes were decided, and the list was filled out. After passing down the handing down of the Shangyu Fengtian Hall, the yellow list was hung outside the left gate of Chang'an. The official of Shuntian government used the umbrella cover to send the number one scholar back to the first place..."

It can be seen from this that it is in line with the rules for the emperor to appoint the first three papers, but this matter should be decided on the day the results are released, not like Yang Tinghe who brought the Minister of Rites and Hanlin scholars to the Qianqing Palace one day in advance to ask for instructions.

This is also the main reason why Zhu Si is angry.

I summoned you in the Qianqing Palace, it was a favor to you, but you came to see me on your own initiative, it can only be said that you did not obey the rules, and you were embarrassing me.

Zhu Nian was young, but he valued rules and decency more than anything else, especially when confronting Yang Tinghe, he really wanted to pay attention to the dignity of a monarch and minister.

There is no defect in the etiquette on the day of the announcement.

Zhu Si received the ministers in Fengtian Hall as usual, and the Ministry of Rites submitted the completed yellow list. The emperor had already filled in the names of the first and third persons on the imperial list early this morning, and the eunuch Zhang Zuo stamped the jade seal with the handprint of the supervisor of rites , which is equivalent to setting all rankings.

The court meeting was going on as usual, and the yellow list was hung outside the left gate of Chang'an on the south side of the palace.

……

When the list was published, the sun was already rising.

After going through a set of procedures, the time was delayed. All the candidates had stood under the sun for more than an hour. When they saw the person who made the list, everyone was excited.

After the officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple came out, they first hung up the gold list. This list was different from the usual yellow paper. The wooden shaft was opened, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the final result to be announced.

Candidates are not required to check in person.

There will be an official from Honglu Temple coming out, holding a reduced version of the "Golden List" in his hand, which is an edict made by the Imperial Academy, and then the drums will be played, creating a grand and solemn feeling for the people present.

But listen to the biography official's loud biography.

"...Zhi said that on May [-]th of the year of Zhengde Xinsi, an examination was held for the tribute scholars of the world. The first class was awarded Jinshi and rank, the second class was awarded Jinshi's background, and the third class was awarded with Jinshi's background..."

This is sort of a prologue.

It is equivalent to telling the candidates present the general rules. Although the rules are known to all scholars in the world, it is still necessary to emphasize them.

Unlike in the general examination, where the top five candidates are left blank, when the imperial examination is issued, the first place in the first class will be reported directly.

"...First place in First Class..."

Everyone is emotional. Although they are both Jinshi, they come from different backgrounds, and in the first class, the treatment of the number one scholar is different from that of the second place and Tanhua.

The number one scholar starts from the compilation and writing of the sixth-rank Hanlin Academy, the second place and Tanhua are edited by the seventh-rank Hanlin Academy, and the first-ranked scholar can directly enter the Imperial Academy.

Erjiaci Jinshi came from the seventh rank, and the official rank was the same as the second place and Tanhua, but most of them were put in the six departments to watch politics.

The third-class Jinshi is the same as the eighth-rank Jinshi. Like the second-class, they can take the exam for Shu Jishi. This is the only way for the second-class and third-class Jinshi to enter the Imperial Academy.

After being admitted to the Hanlin Academy for three years and then taking the exam, if you pass the exam in three years, the original second-class Jinshi can be awarded editing, and the original third-class Jinshi can be awarded a review, which is "retained". Go to the local government.

Everyone is eager to get the glory of a first-class Jinshi, which is related to the greatest achievement of a scholar, and also paves the way for becoming an official in the future.

"Huguang Anluzhou, Zhu Hao!"

The roll call was reported three times in a row.

Zhu Hao took a step away from where he was standing, and then went straight to the front on the left and stood still.

"Second place in the first class, Gu'an County, North Zhili, Yang Weicong."

Sing the same name three times.

Yang Weicong's eyes were almost murderous, and he stared at Zhu Hao, but he could only walk to Zhu Hao's side honestly, and stood on the right, side by side with Zhu Hao.

After standing still, he continued to stare at Zhu Hao with angry eyes.

The two had long been feuding. Zhu Hao, as the Huguang Township Examination Jieyuan, won two consecutive awards in the general examination and palace examination. In this way, his reputation quickly overshadowed Yang Weicong. What's more, Zhu Hao was just a young man, which made Yang Weicong full of righteous indignation .

"The third place in the first class, Jiangxi Qianshan County, Fei Maozhong."

The third person came out. This person was older than Yang Weicong, and he had nothing to do with Zhu Hao before. After all, he was the nephew of Ge's hometown. In addition, Fei Hong was recently conscripted by the emperor to join the court. In this way, Fei Maozhong Among the three of them, there is a unique protection talisman.

……

A report is over.

Next is the second and third.

Second-class roll-calls are performed twice, and names are called once at the third-class ranks. Some people who are at the back of the row can’t hear clearly, and officials from Honglu Temple will stand at the back of the venue and repeat it again.

After everyone stood in order, the Chuan Lu officially ended.

Representatives of the Imperial Academy came over, and the leader was Yang Shen who had contact with Zhu Hao before. Yang Shen first went to salute the officials of Honglu Temple, and then came to Zhu Hao and Yang Weicong.

When he saw the order of Zhu Hao and Yang Weicong's positions, he couldn't help but sighed softly.

Obviously Yang Shen was not reconciled to his good friend Yang Weicong taking the second place in the exam, and now even he himself was embarrassed.

"Young Scholar, please."

At this time, officials from Shuntian Mansion came over, prepared the umbrella cover for Zhu Hao, and prepared to send Zhu Hao back to the inn where he was staying.

"and many more."

Yang Shen stretched out his hand to interrupt the officials of the Shuntian Mansion, came to Zhu Hao, and said loudly: "I need to explain to you about the process of the past few days... As the leader of the new department, I will participate in the Enrong Banquet and express my gratitude to you, etc. , you will take the lead, can you understand the process?"

Zhu Hao smiled and nodded.

Seeing the smile on Zhu Hao's face, Yang Shen felt powerless.

They are also the number one scholar, because Yang Shen had been idle for a long time before, and he had just returned to the Hanlin Academy after the new emperor ascended the throne. There is no difference between him and a champion of new subjects, both of which were compiled by the Imperial Academy.

That is to say, when Zhu Hao just entered the Imperial Academy, he was on an equal footing with him, an old fritter in the Imperial Academy, and he had no friendship with Zhu Hao, and he might become an opponent in the future. I feel uncomfortable.

"gone!"

Yang Shen turned and walked back without saying hello to Yang Weicong.

Then the sound of firecrackers sounded.

The biography is over, and most of the people present are happy physically and mentally. The imperial examination career is finally over today!
Some people also feel that their performance in the imperial examination is abnormal, especially those who have the strength to pass the first or second class but unfortunately fail the exam. They can't hide their loneliness. Some people want to check their names and rankings before the gold list, for fear of making a mistake. , after all, Chuanlu may still make mistakes, and in the end, the list on the imperial list shall prevail.

But that's just heartbreak.

……

……

Zhu Hao's title on the Gold List, the number one scholar in high school.

Zhu Hao knew it in advance. He didn't make any preparations at first, but Jiang Lun was so lively, and Zhu Hao was his son's husband. He had a private agreement with Tang Yin that day to find someone to create a scene on Zhu Hao's way back. .

"The number one scholar is returning home..."

As soon as Zhu Hao walked out of East Chang'an Avenue to Chongwenmenli Street, a large number of people hired to create momentum appeared one after another.

In addition, Zhu Hao has officials from the Shuntian Mansion and government servants accompanying him, shouting and embracing. Although he is not wearing the imperial uniform, crown belt, etc. given by the imperial court, everyone knows that the young man crossing the street is the one who will be in the imperial examination. champion.

All of a sudden, the enthusiasm of the crowd was ignited.

These days, it's not easy to see a famous person, and Zhu Hao is the champion of the new department, and he is not very old, so many people want to come and join in the fun, to be happy and civilized.

The more feudal and ignorant the era, the more superstitious people there are, and the more invisible aura Zhu Hao wears.

Zhu Hao didn't know that he was so "famous" when he heard the people around him talking about him while ostentatiously passing through the market?
"I heard that it is the number one scholar from Shuntian Mansion."

"Nonsense, it's obviously from Huizhou, okay?"

"Stop arguing, you are still yelling nonsense if you don't know, you are obviously the number one scholar in the Shu region, and you are always from the same town as Yang Ge in the current dynasty. It looks like you don't know each other."

Anyway, no one knew who Zhu Hao was, many of them didn't even know the words, and the family couldn't get along with reading at all.

Real scholars don't like to join in the fun.

Zhu Hao continued to walk forward in the midst of this kind of regional dispute. He didn't like the feeling of being pointed and pointed at when he was walking home.

All the way to the outside of the inn.

Jiang Lun had long arranged a firecracker battle, which was even bigger than the Huiyuan time in the examination, attracting a large number of people to watch.

Jiang Lun and Tang Yin stood inside the inn, and were about to go out to meet them, Zhu Hao waved them back.

When Zhu Hao entered the inn, Sun Ru brought some literati from his hometown to congratulate him, but he also stopped him.

"Give out the reward...let's talk upstairs."

Zhu Hao said something to San, then turned to Tang Yin and Jiang Lun.

Jiang Lun was puzzled: "Mr. Zhu, you are wrong...how can you be so lucky if you get the first prize in the exam?"

Tang Yin naturally knew why Zhu Hao had a stern look. Previously, he had tried every means to get rid of his relationship with Prince Xing's Mansion, and finally got the position of champion. Now the people of Prince Xing's Mansion are arranging a celebration. Isn't it self-inflicted?
Tang Yin dragged Jiang Lun upstairs to wait.

When Zhu Hao came up, there was an endless stream of congratulatory people from below.

In particular, many people heard that Zhu Hao was born in Anlu Prefecture, and that he was from a family of thousands of households who worked in Jinyiwei, so of course they wanted to curry favor.

After the three of them sat down, Zhu Hao shook his head and smiled wryly: "Mr. Tang, you don't understand the stakes, do you?"

Tang Yin smiled casually: "So what if you know? It's such a festive event to win the first prize in the exam. Meng Zai wants to make arrangements for you. Can I refuse?"

Jiang Lun asked puzzledly, "What are you talking about?"

Only then did Tang Yin tell Jiang Lun about the joint.

Jiang Lun slapped his thigh: "Say it earlier, I just want to make the little Zhuangyuan famous... So, I really shouldn't show my face, so don't take offense to the little Zhuangyuan... This is all my own idea. It doesn't matter sir."

　It's the middle of the month, the emperor begs for a monthly ticket!Three strong canvassing today!
