Three hundred roll-calls were called in the Golden Palace, and heroes gathered in the wide courtyard at dawn.
According to the system, the names of one person and three people will be sung three times.
Afterwards, we will sing the name of the second and first place, and then sing the names of the third and first place, etc., but only once, and do not lead out the class.
The names of other people could not be sung. After singing, the three tripod armors stood in front of the palace to thank the emperor for his kindness. The scholars outside the palace thanked the emperor again, and the ritual music played again.
Except for Sanding Jia, only the first few of the thirty people in the second Jia and the more than 300 people in the third Jia were ordered to enter the palace, and the rest all knelt on the spot and did not leave their duties.
The ritual officer chanted, and everyone fell down and bowed four times.
Immediately, Liu Heng, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the more than ten new scholars standing in the hall and nodded with a smile.
"Jia Cong..."
Upon hearing the emperor's call, Jia Cong immediately stepped forward and bowed in response: "I am here."
Liu Heng looked at the little young man in the palace and said with a smile: "Supposedly, you are the second Liu Yuan Lang in the dynasty. Today's roll call in the Golden Palace, we monarchs and ministers should also have a prelude to the king. But in the palace examination, your performance Wan Yance has almost solved the confusion in my heart, tell me, what reward do you want?"
What can you say about the prelude? That ten thousand-word policy has been taken away by the Central Committee, and it is planned to study it carefully, refine it and use it as a policy program to implement it.
Jia Cong bowed and said: "It is the way of a minister to relieve the king's worries. His majesty's ink brush strokes the gate of heaven and bestows the number one scholar on the minister. It is already a great favor from the emperor. How can we ask for heaven's favor again and again?"
Liu Heng smiled and shook his head and said: "How can I not be rewarded for my contribution to the country? If so, who else will be loyal to me in the future?"
After saying this, the emperor turned his attention to He Chong without waiting for Jia Cong to answer.
"I have long heard of He Qing's reputation as the leader of the Seven Elites of the Imperial Academy. Last year, I was hunted in Tiefang Mountain. You are capable of literary and martial arts. See you again today. You are indeed a worthy scholar despite your great reputation. Can you give up studying for the exam and serve the country before spring? , very good, I feel very relieved."
Being praised by the world, He Chong bowed down excitedly and said, "If you have learned martial arts, you can join the emperor's family. It is my great honor to be loyal to His Majesty and serve the country."
Liu Heng nodded and smiled, looking at Baoyu who was still in a trance. This cheap brother-in-law is a wonderful person. He is the only one who dares to let himself go and catch the emperor in the palace examination.
"Jia Jue, Jia Jia Baoyu... I ask you, do you feel comfortable scolding me for not knowing people well, being weak and afraid of fighting, and not being able to reconcile yin and yang during the palace examination?"
ah?
What?
And this thing?
thump!
Before Baoyu could kneel down, several people in the ranks of civil servants and generals knelt down.
Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Rong and other people in the two palaces who were originally still happy about having one and two tripod armors never thought that Baoyu would do such a shocking thing.
He quickly knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
"I am not angry, so why should I calm down? Everyone, get up."
Liu Heng waved his hand and said: "I was indeed unhappy at first, but after reading it, I found that what Jia Jue said makes sense. The way of heaven is the way of humanity, and the prosperity of humanity is the merit of the emperor. Otherwise, the emperor loses his virtue. Am I a man? A good emperor, it is not God who has the final say, but the people of the world. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
What else can the ministers in the palace say? Naturally, he shouted for the Holy Spirit.
Liu Heng shook his head and smiled, and continued: "The word sage is easier said than done. I hope that one day the people of the world can sincerely call me the Lord of Saints, instead of the ministers responding to my shouting. Jia Jue, you haven’t answered me yet, how can you feel comfortable scolding me?”
ah? Why hasn't this happened yet?
Baoyu fell to the ground with no tears and said: "Your Majesty, I... I... I am not scolding you, I am scolding those national thieves and cowards. I feel that Your Majesty is too tolerant to these national thieves and cowards, and they should all be dismissed from office and seized." Lord, drive out the court and hire more upright and virtuous ministers. Only in this way can the country be peaceful and the people be safe..."
Tsk~
Liu Heng smiled, Concubine Xian's brother was really a sincere person.
"You are the first one to say that I treat my courtiers with kindness. Others say that the stubborn fourth son is mean and unkind and treats his courtiers harshly..."
Seeing that the ministers in the palace were about to kneel again, he raised his hand to interrupt: "Don't kneel, and don't say that I don't dare. I don't want to hear it and I don't care."
Forcibly interrupting the formal apology of the civil and military officials, Liu Heng asked several people from the second and third class, and continued the process of the ceremony.
This shocking prelude to the king was finally over. Shen Ke, the minister of Honglu Temple, took out an imperial edict again and loudly announced: "The edict says that in the Renchen palace examination in the eighth year of Yuanyou, Jia Cong won the first place. , passed the rank of Six Yuan, and his admonitions were meritorious, and he was awarded the title of "Direct Bachelor of Longtuge", Right Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Liu Yuanfu, Wen Kui plaque..."
"How can I not reward He Chong, Mo Shizhi, Mu Congying, Zhao Delin, and Gao Jian for their meritorious service to the country? He Chong was awarded the Imperial Academy for editing, and Mo Shizhi, Mu Congying, Zhao Delin, and Gao Jian were awarded the Imperial Academy for editing. , to show its merit.”
"Jia Jue's admonishment has merit, and Jia Jue is awarded the title of Reviewer of the Bookstore and Information Department..."
According to the system, the number one scholar is awarded to the editors of the Hanlin Academy of the Sixth Rank, the second and third best candidates are awarded to the editors and editors of the Hanlin Academy of the Seventh Rank, and the rest of the second- and third-grade new scholars do not receive imperial titles, but are either selected to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy as Shujishi, or to enter the Imperial Academy. The six ministries observe the government and then promote it.
But this time the passing ceremony was different. The emperor had been waiting for Jia Cong to officially enter the court as an official for several years. The accumulated merit alone was enough to push him directly to the Liubu Hall official position.
However, He Chong and others were able to give up preparing for the exam before spring, and worked hard at the Ministry of Household Affairs for more than twenty days, doing their best for Anbei, which just touched the emperor's heart.
Empty talk will harm the country, but hard work will prosper the country. Daxia needs such people.
As a result, He Chong, who was ranked second in the second class, Mo Shizhi, who was ranked first in the second class, Mu Congying, who was ninth in the second class, Zhao Delin, who was in the seventeenth class of the second class, and Gao Jian who was in the twenty-ninth class of the second class, were all awarded first-level titles by the emperor and were awarded the Imperial Academy.
As for Baoyu's imperial title, it's even more interesting. Zhongshushe was only from the seventh rank, but he was a close minister of the imperial family. He was also appointed as a reviewer of the Information Department. The civil and military officials in the imperial court did not know that this newly-researched young man was favored by the Holy Spirit and that he was in the emperor's heart.
The imperial seal was completed and the emperor returned to the palace. Then, the official of the Ministry of Rites held the list, carried it on a cloud disk, and guided it with umbrella and drum music. After leaving the Daxia Gate, all the Jinshi, princes and officials followed the list and hung it outside the left gate of Chang'an.
A yellow list with the names and rankings of more than 300 Jinshi will be posted on the palace wall for three days. After three days, the yellow list will be sent to the cabinet, and the cabinet will forward it to the Imperial College. The names of the Jinshi will be engraved on tablets, and then the yellow list will be held It was kept in the Imperial College for future reference.
…
The sordid past is not worthy of praise, but today the dissolute thoughts have no limit.
The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are so fast that I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
Before riding on horseback and parading through the streets, Jia Cong was invited by the chamberlain to go to the side hall to change into the six-yuan suit given by the emperor.
When the new scholars gathered in front of and behind the Daxia Gate, Jia Cong rushed over wearing a purple Liuyuan suit.
The uniform of Jinshi in the imperial dynasty is a dark blue robe. Among the more than 300 people, only Jia Cong wears a purple official robe, which is very eye-catching. Everyone took a closer look and saw a majestic cat tattooed on the purple robe. It stretched out a claw and there were several evil ghosts under its claws.
The skirt and sleeves are all embroidered with gold thread dragon patterns, which is an extraordinary sign. A golden crown and jade belt, a jade-handled wild goose feather sword hung on the left side of the waist, and a royal dagger and a golden order on the right.
After riding on the exclusive white horse, they lead the Jinshi forward slowly to the music of Dengke.
Both sides of Zhengyang Street were already crowded with people watching the excitement. Even the ladies from high-ranking families had reserved private rooms in the restaurants and teahouses facing the street, intending to have a look at the elegance of the new scholars.
Especially Tanhualang, who is said to be the most handsome among the Jinshi. He doesn't know who will fall into the trap today.
Almost all the daughters-in-law and girls from Ning and Rong's houses were dispatched to book the restaurant closest to the imperial city. When the sound of the gong slowly approached, the girls lay down in front of the wooden fence and looked at the figures that were gradually becoming clearer in the distance.
Among the new scholars parading through the streets, Jia Cong in purple robe is the most eye-catching. That majestic orange cat, with an evil spirit under its paws, makes everyone feel awe when they see Jia Cong.
Wang Xifeng looked north and suddenly clapped her hands: "The number one winner is Brother Cong. No one except him dares to wear an orange cat suit!"
Except for Xiao Xichun who kept pushing forward to watch the fun, everyone else smiled slightly.
Could it be that the emperor would be willing to push out the Six Yuan Xiangrui? The number one pick can only be Brother Cong, there is no suspense.
Tanchun's eyesight was very good, and he could see the difference in Jia Cong's clothes today at a glance: "Huh? Brother Cong's orange cat suit is different. The cat looks more majestic, and it seems to be pressing down under its claws... It seems to be pressing down on demons and monsters. .”
"Your Majesty said that Brother Cong has officially entered the official position, and it is time for Yu Mao to show his sharp claws. Monsters and ghosts cannot escape Yu Mao's eyes!"
Daiyu had already heard the news in the palace. This official robe was a sketch drawn by Empress Yang herself, so it was special.
She explained the meaning of the official robe decorations to the girls, and suddenly heard Xiangyun's exclamation.
"Brother Ai turns out to be the most beautiful woman. Look, the person walking on the right in the second row is brother Ai. He is the most beautiful woman! Huh? The one on the left is Mr. He. Sister Bao, you are going to be the second lady!"
All the girls looked together and saw that the person walking behind Jia Cong on the right side of the second row was Baoyu.
The second person on the left is the flower on the right. They also know the second person. He is Baochai's fiancé, He Chong, the son of the He family, the Minister of Rites.
The Tanhualang is usually the best-looking among the new scholars. This is a convention. Xiangyun is not interested in what kind of official Baoyu will be. She only cares about one thing, that is, the handsome appearance of loving her brother has been affirmed by His Majesty the Emperor today, and she is honored.
Baochai on the side had glaring eyes and held the handkerchief tightly with both hands. He Chong was extremely talented, and she had expected to be a Jinshi in high school. However, when she saw her fiancé put on Jinshi uniform and parade through the streets, she still felt proud in her heart.
This is her fiancé Xue Baochai. At the age of seventeen, he took the roll call at the Golden Palace and won the second place. Those who had laughed at her, what could they compare to her?
Clang, Clang, Clang~
The gong rang loudly, and the team had arrived downstairs with the girls.
"Third brother, second brother Bao, I'm here!"
Although there was noisy noise on both sides of the road, Jia Cong and Baoyu heard Xichun's call clearly for the first time.
They both raised their heads and looked to the left. The people standing on the railing in front of the window on the second floor were not their sisters.
Jia Cong and Bao Yu waved, and the girls threw the sachets they had prepared. Jia Cong reached out and grabbed one of them, raised it and waved to the people in front of the window.
Baoyu didn't have Jia Cong's skills, so he received several blows on his head, and in the end he could only grin at the girls.
On the contrary, after He Chong had a sachet on his head, he grabbed it and looked over. It was Baochai who had made an engagement with him a few days ago.
He was about to wave in response when more than ten sachets suddenly flew from the right side, catching him off guard and hitting him several times on the head.
Baochai looked up and saw several women standing in front of the window on the second floor opposite, looking towards him without any sign of weakness.
Is this a provocation? How ridiculous.
Daiyu and others also discovered this. When the Jinshi team left, she carefully looked at the people opposite.
"It turns out it was them..."
Daiyu has seen these people, no, she has beaten them all.
"Uncle Weiyuan's Mansion, Chengyang Bo's Mansion, Fengguo General's Mansion... It seems that they are not convinced. Sister Bao, don't worry, they are a bunch of local chickens and dogs. I'll meet them later!"
Ever since she led her soldiers to smash around the capital, she immediately fell in love with using her iron fist to suppress all disobedience.
Seeing that the "defeated general" still dares to provoke, he immediately becomes eager to kill the opponent and teach him how to behave with an iron fist again.
Baochai grabbed Daiyu who was about to roll up her sleeves and said with a smile: "I accept Sister Lin's wishes. Let me handle this matter myself. As Sister Lin said, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. I There are ways."
She whispered a few words in Daiyu's ear, and Daiyu's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Sister Bao is worthy of being the best among girls, so I will watch the show with peace of mind. Then we will see if they dare to use their status to harm others with rumors."
…
After the passing ceremony, the Ministry of Rites gave a banquet on the 19th. On the 20th, the new Jinshi entered the palace again to express gratitude and accept the imperial uniform, crown and belt and Jinshi treasure notes awarded by the court. On the 21st, he went to the Imperial College to pay homage to the Confucius Temple, where he inscribed his name and erected a monument.
After everything was done, before Jia Cong had time to go to Duan Jun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he was pulled into the procession by the sage to pay homage to the imperial mausoleum for spring sacrifices.
The Qingming Spring Festival is a time-honored tribute to our ancestors.
The Supreme Emperor took the kings out of the capital and went to the imperial mausoleum of Tianshou Mountain on the north side of Changping Prefecture. There were hundreds of relatives, civil and military officials accompanying the emperor. In addition to a thousand Yu Linlang's retinue, the emperor also sent two thousand Jinwu guards to protect him.
After several days of running around, we finally arrived at the foot of Tianlu Mountain on March 27th, where the Holy Emperor arrived at the Imperial Tomb.
On the twenty-eighth day, the saint and others visited the imperial mausoleum, offered sacrifices to the ancestors of all dynasties, and then gave him food. At night, the old man took Jia Cong to the Xin'en Hall in Taizu's imperial mausoleum.
The Hall of En'en is the main hall of the imperial mausoleum. "En" means to be blessed by offering sacrifices, and "En" means to be extremely kind. The implication is that if you worship here, you can get the protection of the late emperor, and there is no limit to your kindness.
This main hall, built in imitation of the Fengtian Hall, is furnished with divine couches, spiritual seats, niche tents, sacred tablets of emperors and empresses, treasure books, clothes, crowns, thrones, incense tables, and various musical instruments.
There is a large bronze cauldron in the main hall, with seal characters on it and nine dragons chasing the sun, and there is constant incense all day long. The old man took Jia Cong into the back of the palace, offered incense and worshiped, and then asked the sacrificial officials in the palace to retreat. Yu Linlang was guarding outside and no one was allowed to enter.
Jia Cong supported the saint and came to the sacred tablet of Emperor Taizu Gao under the command of the old man. I saw the old man pointing in front of the magic card: "Did you see that gold box? Take it and open it."
The gold box is not really made of gold, but is made of golden nanmu, with dragon patterns on it and a brass lock.
Jia Cong weighed it and found that it was quite heavy. He took it down, returned to the old man and placed it on the table.
The old man took out a key also made of brass and opened the lock with a click. Under the bright candlelight in the palace, the golden box glowed with golden light.
Jia Cong rubbed his eyes and looked at the things inside carefully. His jaw almost dropped: Good guy, someone really used gold to make books!
"This was built by Emperor Taizu ten years after he ascended the throne, and he left a legacy before his death. If a person born with wisdom appears, as long as he does not hinder the country of Daxia, future emperors can bring him here and take it out. The golden book pays homage to the hadith.”
At the old man's signal, Jia Cong took out the golden book.
The golden book is very heavy, weighing at least ten kilograms. The seal of the book cover is engraved with dragon and phoenix, and there are four seal characters on it: Rejuvenate China.
These four words had already shaken Jia Cong's mind, but after turning over the heavy cover page, he was even more shocked by the line of words engraved on the first page.
The golden book left by Taizu was written in divine inscriptions, and no one could understand it for hundreds of years. But the Supreme Emperor saw from the change in Jia Cong's eyes that the boy understood.
Jia Cong tremblingly touched the words carved on the golden page. These characters were not any type of Chinese calligraphy, but the pinyin that Jia Cong was extremely familiar with in his previous life.
