Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a rule that non-jinshi was not allowed to be an official, and non-Hanlin was not allowed to be a prime minister.

The so-called non-Hanlin is not allowed to be a minister, that is to say, if you are not from the Imperial Academy, you will not be eligible to join the cabinet in the future.In fact, not only do you meet the cabinet, even if you are a big official in the frontier, you are not a part of the senior officials of the ministry.

Today's Ming Dynasty is in an era of peace. Such a world is certainly a great thing for the common people, but the world is fine, and it is not so easy to be promoted as an official.

You are not from the Hanlin Academy. You started as a seventh-rank official by relying on your qualifications. After decades of ups and downs in your career, you should have reached the retirement age when you reach a fourth-rank magistrate.But ordering Hanlin is like entering the Central Party School of later generations, where they were trained as senior cadres from the beginning.

Once the period of study in the Imperial Academy expires, according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, they will either enter the central government to work as a secretary for the emperor.Either leave the house and go to the Sixth Ministry to observe and study, and then be promoted to an important position.Compared with ordinary civil servants, the speed of promotion can only be described by taking a helicopter.

Precisely because this is a fast track to becoming an official, being able to order Hanlin is the most important thing in the exam.

According to the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty, the top three in the first class, that is, the number one scholar, the second place in the list, and Tanhua will directly get the honor of Jinshi, and they will be recommended to the Imperial Academy for editing.Strictly speaking, these three people are the real Jinshi.

As for the second class, it can only be regarded as a fellow Jinshi.In other words, the political treatment and status are the same as Jinshi.

When it comes to the top three, it can only be granted as a Jinshi.Entering the top three, you are not a Jinshi, and you can't even enjoy the treatment of a Jinshi.However, the emperor's kindness is mighty, and he bestowed on you a fellow Jinshi.

Of course, in the eyes of the world, first-class, second-class and third-class are all Jinshi.

Because of this, it is impossible to enter the Hanlin Academy if you are given a Jinshi.

Only Tong Jinshi may still have a chance.

The top three of the first class go directly to the Hanlin Academy. After the exam, the imperial court will select three or 40 people from the second class Chinese Jinshi to enrich the Hanlin Academy.

From this point of view, if you want to enter the Hanlin Academy, you must be at least in the top [-] in the exam to be sure.

There were thousands of candidates who participated in the examination, and these candidates were all the elites of the provinces of the Ming Dynasty. Su Mu didn't think he would enter the top forty.

Being able to enter the top three is already a burst of character. As for the top forty, in such a fierce competition, all elements of luck will be stifled by the huge number of candidates.

Thinking of this, Su Mu suddenly became worried, and he was not interested in persuading Miss Wu to accept Hu Ying's double-headedness.

Even if Ms. Wu nodded, if she couldn't order Hanlin, the matter between him and Hu Ying would also fail.

In life, those who are unsatisfactory out of ten!

Su Mu felt like he wanted to sigh.

Just thinking in such a mess, I don't know how long it took before Mr. Wu's homework for today is over.

He put down his book, took a sip of water to moisten his dry throat: "Su Mu, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, why don't you stay at home and come to this old man? You don't have to think about coming to this old man to pay New Year's greetings. I haven't passed it yet, so there's no need for it. Besides, fame is important, and you have to study hard. It doesn't matter if you get reunited at Thirty Nights or not."

Su Mu hesitated for a moment, and then said tentatively, "Old man, there is nothing to say next year's spring. Although Su Mu may not be able to order Hanlin, there is still [-] to [-]% certainty that one of them will be born as a Jinshi."

"That's good." Mr. Wu nodded.

Su Mu said again: "I came here today, I want to discuss the marriage between Su Mu and Miss Wu with you, old man."

Hearing what he said, the servant girl who was serving Mr. Wu was overjoyed and sneaked out of the study, presumably to go to Miss Wu to announce the good news, so as to ask for some rewards.

Old Mr. Wu snorted: "Didn't it be agreed? After the Chinese New Year, when the national funeral expires, you will send a matchmaker to propose a marriage. What else can you say?"

"No, no, Wansheng has encountered something now, and wants to discuss it with you, old man." After all, this matter involves his own body, Su Mu is very embarrassed, and he stutters when he speaks.

"Speak up if you have something to say, a gentleman can speak to others." Old Mr. Wu was a little annoyed.

Su Mu had no choice but to pluck up the courage to talk about his holidays with Hu's family in Baoding and his grievances with Hu Ying in detail, and then he talked about the conditions Hu Shun raised at Baiyun Temple today.

After finishing speaking, Su Mu sweated slightly on his forehead, and lowered his head: "Mr., the thing is like this. Su Mu promised to marry Ms. Wu, and no one can stand without faith. In Su Mu's heart, Wu Ms. Wu is the hostess of my Wu family, and Ms. Wu has to nod for Hu Ying's affairs."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Shiqi slammed the table: "It's unreasonable!"

The loud voice made Su Mu startled.

A bad premonition rose from his heart. According to Wu Shiqi's personality, once he exploded, he didn't know what it would be like.

Su Mu was flustered: "Mr., I also have difficulties."

"There is no reason for this, what is the difficulty?" Wu Shiqi was furious, and shouted: "Su Mu, you also read the books of sages and sages, and you have read all these books into the stomach of a dog? Cai Yong of the Han Dynasty summarized the standards of the ancients. Wives and two concubines, scholars have one wife and one concubine, ordinary people do not accept concubines. Dare I ask, are you a senior official or a scholar, and now you are just a person, so you have to take concubines? A man is a man, when the future is important, what is the relationship between children and daughters? ? Everything, we have to wait until you become a Jinshi.”,

"I'm not blaming you for accepting the daughter of the Hu family. I'm just angry. You haven't made any achievements yet, and you are preparing for the exam at a critical juncture. You are still distracted by it. Worrying about gains and losses, thinking wildly, can you still succeed?"

The more the old gentleman spoke, the angrier he became, his lips trembled, and he pointed at Su Mu and kept cursing: "When you become a Jinshi and become a scholar, who you want to accept is your business. The husband is the leader of the wife, and you can do it yourself." It’s up to you to ask my daughter what to do. If it spreads out, won’t the world laugh at my Wu Shiqi’s family style and raise such a jealous woman? Su Mu, you bastard!”

Mr. Wu's scolding was continuous like a torrential river, Su Mu felt ashamed and could not lift his head when he scolded him.

But after listening to it for a long time, he realized in astonishment: No, Mr. Wu's idea seems to be wrong!When other families hear that their son-in-law wants to take a concubine, they will definitely try their best to stop them for fear of losing their daughter.But the old man blamed himself for neglecting his studies because he only cared about men and women.Moreover, he meant that he was blaming me for notifying them in advance, which hurt face.

These three views are a big problem!
