Jinyi champion

Chapter 782

The palace examination is over.

After the ranking of Jinshi is determined, it should be the selection of Shujishi and the appointment of officials by the court.

In addition to making arrangements for the future of the Jinshi this year, the last Jinshi still observed the Six Departments of Politics, especially those who returned to their hometowns to marry and keep the system after passing the Jinshi exam. Now it is the turn of the three-year quiz, but this time the three-year exam is advanced for a year.

For the 16-year-old Shu Jishi, this year can be said to be a big test, involving whether they can stay in the Imperial Academy.

Generally speaking, only three or five people in a class of Shu Jishi can get the position of editor at most, and there are very few Hanlin officials who can be promoted to attendant reading, attendant lecturer, and continue to be promoted to attendant study bachelor and attendant lecturer bachelor. It is also the reason why the Imperial Academy of Ming Dynasty is more expensive.

If you want to be promoted to a high position in the Hanlin Academy system, you don't just rely on strength, but also rely on a unique skill... Boil it!

In terms of qualifications, Zhu Hao has an advantage.

He was born as the No. [-] Scholar when he first came up, and he skipped editing and went straight to editing. Coupled with his young age, he would always be able to survive a few more years in the Imperial Academy.

Shi Ping, the head of the Imperial Academy, went to ask Yang Tinghe for instructions on the plan for the Shujishi examination after the list of Jinshi in the new department was listed.

The examination of Shujishi is much more casual than the general examination and palace examination. Generally, the Imperial Academy sends two officials who are attendants and above as examiners. There are strict age requirements. In fact, there are only about 80 to 30 candidates in one session, and at most [-] people can be selected.

These people stayed in the Hanlin Academy, which was regarded as gold-plated, and it was a very face-saving thing to say that they returned to the Sixth Ministry or local officials.

Of course, it's just to save face, and it doesn't actually bring much political convenience.

Unless you have a background in editing or editing, or have served as a servant or lecturer, otherwise, if you want to gain convenience in your official career as a former member of the Imperial Academy, it is really better to curry favor with a powerful figure in the court.

Shi Ting waited for half an hour in Yang Tinghe's mansion before seeing Yang Tinghe coming out of the inner hall.

Shi Ping knew that Yang Tinghe was in the mansion, but he didn't know what Yang Tinghe was doing. It was a bit embarrassing to make him, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, wait so long.

"...The names of the candidates for the museum selection have been reported, and we will refer to them in the future. At present, Li Tingxiang and Gu Dingchen are going to be the examiners to take charge of the assessment of this group of good scholars. I have asked His Majesty for instructions before, and His Majesty is not in the museum. The specific number of people selected is limited, Zhongtang, you see..."

What Shi Jue meant was that the emperor didn't say how many concubines he would admit, but he probably let the Imperial Academy choose by themselves.

But I, a bachelor in charge of the academy, can't make the decision. I need to ask the bachelor of the first auxiliary university for your opinion.

Yang Tinghe said: "20 people is good, more or less is not appropriate."

The answer is very straightforward. I will set a standard of 20 people for you. If you rely on this standard, it will not work if there is one more person or one less person.

Shi Ping said: "Yong Xiu followed me earlier, saying that Zhu Hao, the official historian, was responsible for the daily guidance of the new Imperial Academy. Look..."

Now not only Yang Tinghe can issue orders to Shi Pang, but even Yang Shen can.

Who made Yang Shen the person appointed by Yang Tinghe to be in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Academy?

Shi Ping is a bachelor in charge of the academy, and Yang Shen is equivalent to a "prince". Shi Ping is also quite speechless now. Seeing Yang Shen, he feels like seeing a superior. No wonder Liu Chun was not good at being a bachelor in charge of the academy. But thinking about Liu Chun's life in the cabinet now, he doesn't have a good life, and he is still being bullied by others, so Shi Yan is calm, and he is just messing around anyway.

Yang Tinghe just nodded his head, and he did not object to Zhu Hao's instruction on the new Ke Hanlin, which was regarded as acquiescing.

Shi Ping said: "Your Majesty's imperial decree has not yet been approved, Zhongtang, you see, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"What could be the problem?"

Yang Tinghe's tone was slightly impatient, "The selection of the library is the most important thing after the imperial examination. You should deal with it well. The topic is up to you. The main thing is ethics. Anyone with strange ideas and heresies will be rejected!"

Yang Tinghe said that Shi Jue was asked to come up with the questions, but in fact he rigidly stipulated the direction of the questions.

You can only test ethics, and it is best to use matters related to rituals to test Shu Jishi, and opportunists cannot be allowed to appear among them.

Shi Ping nodded helplessly.

It seems that this visit is still necessary, at least he knows that no matter whether Yang Tinghe really intervenes in certain matters, he still has to listen to Yang Tinghe's opinion. It's over.

The prime minister is still the prime minister.

……

……

The selection of Shujishi was carried out in an orderly manner.

As a result, in the afternoon, an imperial decree was issued to the Imperial Academy.

At this time, Shi Ping had gone to see Yang Tinghe, but had not yet returned, and Fengxi, as the highest official in the Imperial Academy when Shi Ping was away, was completely in a state of confusion.

Why didn't you choose Shu Jishi all of a sudden?
Or was it the emperor's sudden decree without any warning?
Has the cabinet agreed?

Why didn't it go through the court meeting?

Fengxi couldn't find where Shi Pang was for a while, so he could only send someone to Shi Pang's mansion to inform him.

In this way, Yang Tinghe didn't know from Mao Cheng, Minister of Rites, that the emperor had decreed to cancel the selection examination for undergraduate scholars until the morning of the next day. But the exam was suddenly cancelled. Is this a slap in the face of him, a Shoufu University scholar?
Mao Cheng persuaded: "Jie Fu, don't be angry. Your Majesty decided not to choose the library, and there are advantages in not choosing the library. After all, it was only two years before the first subject was admitted to the library. The situation of some people has not been clarified. Besides, such things are not without If there is a precedent, if you insist on arguing with His Majesty... it will be easy to cause conflicts."

Yang Tinghe said with a dark face: "Since Your Majesty disagrees with the selection of the museum, why didn't you bring it up earlier?"

Mao Cheng shook his head: "No one brought up this matter at the court meeting before. Maybe everyone thought that the selection of the museum is a matter of course. Jiefu should calm down and accept the reality."

……

……

No matter how Mao Cheng tried to persuade Yang Tinghe, he couldn't swallow his breath.

At the court meeting, Yang Tinghe endured it again and again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and came out to speak out.

"Your Majesty, the matter of choosing a museum has always been the most important thing for me after the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty. It is related to the rise and fall of the Imperial Academy. The admission of new scholars into the museum can calm people's hearts and at the same time reserve talents for the Ming Dynasty. Dongliang, why did His Majesty cancel the selection of the museum?"

Yang Tinghe spoke politely.

I just talked briefly and thought that there is a need for library selection, but if you cancel the selection, the emperor, it is your fault.

Zhu Sidao: "Yang Ge didn't mention it, but I want to talk about it too. The last class of concubines has been in the museum for two years, right? At this time, a new one is selected to come in. What is the previous one? Don’t choose. Whether you choose in the future depends on the actual situation. I think that the number of Jinshi selected this time is large, and they should be filled as soon as possible to the place where they are needed in the court. Do you have any other opinions?”

The tone of the emperor's speech was very tough, and he didn't intend to discuss with the ministers present at all.

In history, there was indeed no selection of Jinshi in the second year of Jiajing, and the comprehensive reason was also because of the conflict between the emperor and the Shoufu University Scholars.

Moreover, from the second year of Jiajing to the eighth year of Wanli, nine of the twenty subjects were not selected.

Yang Tinghe dislikes the emperor speaking in such an almost orderly tone, he doesn't care about the minister's opinion at all, it's like informing you that I have made a decision, and you like that feeling.

This is where the court is regarded as a place to give orders?

"His Majesty."

Yang Tinghe continued to be aggressive, "If you don't choose this time, do you want to have an explanation for the new Jinshi?"

Zhu Si sternly said: "Explanation? In the past, when there were no selections for the museum, did you also have to have an explanation? If you want to explain, then I will make it clear. If you encounter a palace examination in the future, the Hanlin Academy will not be accepted. If everything is ready, the selection will be made, otherwise, no selection will be made. The selection of the library is just to fill in the gaps of the Imperial Academy, do you really think that a few nobles can shake the foundation of the country?"

Originally, many people were on Yang Tinghe's side, thinking that it was a mess not to choose a library.

But after hearing what Zhu Si said, he felt that what the emperor said was very reasonable.

Whether or not to choose a good scholar depends on the situation. Could it be that everyone who has passed the Jinshi exam expects to enter the Imperial Academy as a good scholar, and even become famous in the Imperial Academy system?

Stop dreaming.

How many people from Shujishi's background can get into the high position of serving as a lecturer or serving as a lecturer?

Isn't most of them sent abroad after three years?Although admission is indeed a matter of face, compared to being a Jinshi and becoming an official, admission is just icing on the cake. It is more about entering the Imperial Academy to live a hard life. Many people who pursue fame and fortune care more about whether they can be released early. Official vacancies.

Zhu Si said again: "I don't think that the Hanlin Academy is currently underrepresented. There are many people and they have nothing to do at ordinary times. Otherwise, why would they always appear when there is a major event in the court? Only when there are fewer people, there will be no overcrowding. Those imperial courts can also do some practical things for the imperial court! Instead of absenting themselves from work or asking for leave, they simply treat the imperial court system as a trifle."

These words clearly mean something.

Who is this that made the emperor angry?
He is always there when there is something to do in the court, and he is absent from work and asks for leave when he has nothing to do. Could it be that he is talking about Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen?I've never heard of Yang Shen being so passive and sabotage.

Or……

Is this implying that Zhu Hao, who had previously led the Imperial Academy to play admonishing the king?

It’s because the last Hanlin Academy provoked the emperor, so this time the emperor took countermeasures against the Imperial Academy, and didn’t select you for the hall, so that you can’t accept it, so that there will be fewer self-proclaimed high-minded guys criticizing me give pointers.

Yang Tinghe originally thought that the emperor was making trouble for no reason.

After listening to Zhu Si's words, he understood.

The emperor had long held a grudge against those Hanlin officials, and finally found an opportunity to retaliate against them.

"Mr. Yang Ge, this year, there will always be Ding Jia and three people entering the museum. I think it is enough to have them here. The rest... depends on their personal fortunes. There are four hundred new scholars, and there are no officials in the court. There are so many, there is always a place for them!"

　Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, Happy Chinese New Year!
