Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

Chapter 17

The Yang Mansion Bieyuan is located in the inner city of Chang'an, not far from the Ministry of Officials.

There was also Zhang Han's carriage riding together, so the two soon came to the government office of the official department.

At this time, most of the other Jinshi had already arrived, standing in groups of three or four on the Fuya Square, whispering about something.

Although everyone looked calm and calm, it seemed that they didn't care about the next appointment.

But from the eyes that glanced at the inside of the government office from time to time, one could still feel the nervousness of the Jinshi in the field.

I can't help but let everyone not be nervous. After all, the next appointment is related to the future of life. It depends on the next appointment whether it is to take advantage of the wind or to waste time in the next few years.

Only Lang Chen E, the number one scholar who stood in the center of the square and was surrounded by Jinshi like stars, was really calm.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, his face was calm and calm, and there was no trace of tension.

When Chen Qi saw the Zhuangyuan Lang Chen E, his heart couldn't help but move, and he urged the secret method of the sixty-four hexagrams of Houtian, wanting to see how this Chen Zhuangyuan would follow.

He felt that Chen Guangrui was definitely not a simple person.

Chen Qi had reason to suspect that Chen Zhuangyuan in front of him was the reincarnation of a certain boss in the heavens, or the reincarnation of a certain Buddha on Lingshan.

The reason is very simple. Looking back on the entire plot of Journey to the West, Chen Guangrui's life has never been smooth.

The number one scholar in high school, married Bai Fumei, and gave birth to a son who is the reincarnation of a Buddhist power.

The most important thing is that even if this guy is killed by thieves and his body sinks into the river, the Dragon King will still protect his body.

Eighteen years later, Tang Seng grew up, and his mother committed suicide in shame.

And what about Chen Guangrui?

He was resurrected again, and became a scholar of Wenyuandian University. He was promoted, made a fortune, and his wife died.

It would be strange if there is nothing tricky in it.

Then think of Yin Kaishan, the left prime minister of the Tang Dynasty who should have died seventeen years ago, and Yin Wenjiao, who became Tang Seng's biological mother.

Among the four, Yin Wenjiao, who seemed to commit suicide, was the most normal and innocent.

The other three have more or less problems.

In other words, three men are plotting against a little girl, and these three men are still her father, husband and son.

This is really Buddhist!

Chen Qi secretly urged the Houtian sixty-four hexagram secret method to look at Chen E, wanting to spy on his luck and heel.

However, what puzzled him was that Chen E's luck light beam was only red with green in it, which was not very strange.

According to the introduction of the Houtian sixty-four hexagrams, the luck of living beings can be divided into six levels: grey, white, red, blue, purple, and gold.

Of course, a living being in different worlds has different pillars of luck.

For example, an emperor in the small thousand world, in the small thousand world, the light pillar of luck is purple, but in the big thousand world, it may only be the lowest level of gray and white, not as good as ordinary people.

Chen E's pillar of luck is red with green in it, which means that he may become a Marquis or Prime Minister in the future, or become a monk of the third rank.

Of course, it is only possible, not certain.

After all, there is no growth in water, and people's luck will also rise and fall. Potential is potential after all, and whether it can really be achieved depends on the individual.

"how is this possible?"

"Red with blue, this kind of luck is normal for other Jinshi, but it is impossible for Tang Seng's father to think about it with his toes."

"Could it be that someone from the Buddhist sect made a move to hide Chen E's luck?"

Chen Qi looked at Chen E not far away, thoughtful.

But even so, Chen E's luck was the highest among all Jinshi in the field.

After all, the cyan natal luck represented that Chen E had the potential to become a marquis and a prime minister. It was not easy for a prince and general to appear in one session of the imperial examination.

You can't expect that a few prime ministers will be screened out in one imperial examination.

While Chen Qi was deep in thought, Chen E, who was talking and laughing with other Jinshi, seemed to feel something, and turned his head to look in Chen Qi's direction.

Facing Chen E's scrutinizing gaze, Chen Qi did not avoid it, but responded with a smile, which was regarded as a greeting.

It's not that he doesn't want to hide, but because he is the only one there, if he dodges, doesn't it mean that he has a guilty conscience?

It's not that there is no silver three hundred taels here, it's no wonder Chen E didn't doubt him.

On the contrary, they looked at each other openly, smiled and nodded to say hello. Even if Chen E felt strange, he would not think about the bad side.

Chen Da Zhuangyuan thinks he has never seen such an arrogant person, who secretly spies on others without saying anything, and does not cover up when he is discovered.

This made him slightly taken aback, and in the end he could only smile with a stiff face, which was regarded as a return gift.

When Chen E looked away from Chen Qi, Chen Qi let out a heavy breath.

"What a terrible number one scholar!"

"A master, definitely a master, at least as tall as three or four floors!"

Although it was only a subconscious glimpse, Chen Qi still felt the fear of Chen E.

He didn't know whether Chen E was practicing martial arts, immortality, or Buddhism, but one thing was certain, the Chen E in front of him was definitely a master.

At least he was stronger than Zhou Chong, who was in the eighth rank of martial arts, and not even a little bit stronger.

Rank seven warrior?

Or sixth grade, fifth grade?

Or is it a master-level powerhouse of the third rank?

Chen Qi didn't know, but one thing was certain.

If such a master was killed by two ordinary ferry boatmen, he would be a dead dog.

Therefore, there is no need to doubt that there is definitely something wrong with Chen E in front of him, and it is still a big problem.

He Chen dares to guarantee it with his integrity! .

Chapter 18

"quiet!"

Just when all Jinshi were chatting and laughing, an old man wearing a scarlet official uniform and a dignified face came out from the official office.

This old man is not an ordinary person, but a famous capable minister in history, Shen Guogong Gao Shilian, who is also the Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty today.

Gao Shilian, whose real name is Gao Jian and courtesy name Shilian, was born in Yi County, Bohai County.

The grandson of Gaoyue, king of Qinghe in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the son of Gaomai, the governor of Taozhou in the Sui Dynasty, the uncle of Empress Wende of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, ranked sixth in Lingyan Pavilion.

Proper big shot!

Accompanied by a group of officials from the Ministry of Officials, Gao Shilian walked out of the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, shouted loudly, and instantly quieted the entire square.

He didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out a list of official appointments with a big seal from his sleeve, and read aloud: "It's Sui Enke, Bairui is showing signs, and you are all my Tang Dynasty!" The outstanding talents, now after the discussion of Zhongshu Province, the Holy Majesty has ruled that he can be appointed below!"

"Chen Guangrui, the No. [-] scholar, and the sixth-rank secretary of the Hongwen Museum."

"Give the second place in the list, Lu Xiuyuan, the post of Doctor Taichang, the seventh rank in Taichang Temple."

"Tanhua Cui Mingzhi is awarded the position of a direct bachelor of the Seventh Rank of the Imperial College."

"Conferring Cheng Zongwen, a Jinshi of the new department, and the post of official eight-rank official history of Dali Temple..."

"..."

"Award Cui Bo, a Jinshi of the new department, and a Lieutenant of the Ninth Grade Department of the Great History Bureau!"

"Award Li Zongwang, a Jinshi of the new department, and the post of Zhengjiupin County Lieutenant of Yongfu County, Tianshui County, Qingzhou!"

"Chen Ziming, a Jinshi of the new department, the Imperial Academy..."

Gao Shilian read leisurely, announcing the appointments of the thirty-six new scholars in this session one by one.

At the end of the reading, when Chen Qi's appointment was announced, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, then raised his head and continued to announce in a strange tone: "From the post of Jiupin School Secretary!"

Not only Gao Shilian, but other officials of the Ministry of Officials, and even the newly appointed Scholars of the New Division couldn't help being uproarious, looked at Chen Qi with pity, and guessed who he had offended.

It's like a husky suddenly mixed in with the wolves.

Since the restoration of the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty, Chen Qi can be said to have created a record, the record for the lowest grade of appointment of a new scholar.

This is probably also the first Jinshi from the ninth rank to appear since the restoration of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty.

In modern terms, it is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

In addition, even the post of Shulang in the Hanlin Academy is also very particular.

The first is the Hanlin Academy.

In the impression of many people, as long as you won the number one scholar in ancient times, you had to go to the Imperial Academy for further studies, so that the Imperial Academy is also known as the cradle of prime ministers.

However, that is for later generations, after Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, and has nothing to do with the present.

What was the Hanlin Academy in the early Tang Dynasty used for?

At the beginning, it was an institution that served people with artistic skills. There were various talents in the academy, such as CI, classics, alchemy, monks, Taoism, divination, wishing, art, art, calligraphy, chess, etc., called Daizhao, that is, Waiting for the emperor to summon and dispatch at any time.

To put it bluntly, it is the residence of strange people enshrined by the imperial court.

To put it bluntly, that is where acrobatics are performed.

And what about the scholar of the Hanlin Academy?

You can understand it as an official sorting out books.

Well, it should be an official. Although it is only a nominal official position, it is not from the ninth rank.

Specifically, you can refer to Sun Monkey who raises horses in Tianting, who is probably at the same level as Bi Mawen.

Gao Shilian looked at Chen Qi strangely after reading the appointment of a new Jinshi.
