Shen Yi's original plan was to follow Uncle Zhao's path and see if he could get into the Di Newspaper Division. If he couldn't get into the Di Newspaper Division, he could stay in Jiankang and become a capital official.
But now that Shen has taken a higher and wider path, Zhao Changping no longer needs to contribute in this matter.
He thought about the wording in his mind, then coughed at Zhao Changping and said: "Uncle, my nephew has communicated with the palace a few days ago. The palace wants me to help organize the residence newspaper department, and has already agreed. My nephew asked me, so my uncle doesn’t have to work hard on this matter."
Zhao Changping glanced at Shen Yi in surprise, and said thoughtfully: "Ziheng saw people in the palace a few days ago?"
Shen Yi nodded.
Zhao Changping asked again: "Before the results are released in the spring?"
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows and said: "The palace agreed, saying that if my nephew can become a Jinshi, he can take charge of the Di Bao Division."
"It is not trustworthy that eunuchs are eunuchs."
Zhao Changping snorted in a somewhat disdainful tone: "Just listen to what they say. Don't believe it. Don't think about anything else during this period. Spend more time preparing for the palace exam and thinking about what questions His Majesty will ask for the palace exam." Try to be among the top 100 when the time comes, so that you can be sure of being a second-class Jinshi."
Maybe he felt that the conditions he gave were a bit harsh. After all, it only took a few days from the release of the results of the general examination to the palace examination. Moreover, the opponents were all elites among the national candidates, so it was unrealistic to improve their rankings too much.
So, Zhao Shilang went on to say: "If you fall into the top three, don't be discouraged. When the time comes, my uncle will personally go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to help you. He will definitely provide you with a big and fat county, or provide you with a promotion official." errand."
According to the system of the Chen State, the first-class, second-class, and third-class grades have different treatment. Needless to say, the top three of the first-class class basically all enter the Hanlin Academy as noble officials, and the top two class-class officials can also join them. Hanlin Academy. Others will be given the title of Guanzheng and study in various yamen of the imperial court. After studying for six months to three years, they will be assigned by the Ministry of Personnel according to their vacancies.
Generally speaking, the second-level Jinshi is in charge in Beijing, and when sent abroad, he is the prefect and prefect.
The top three Jinshi are a head shorter. In Beijing, they are from Zhongshushe. Those with doctorate degrees from Taichang Temple are from the seventh rank. When they are sent abroad, they are promoted to officials or county magistrates.
The so-called push official is the left official of the prefect, which is equivalent to the deputy prefect.
Of course, rules are just rules.
It has been more than a hundred years since the imperial dynasty. Even after crossing to the south, sixty years have passed. In the past sixty years, there have been twenty scientific examinations, plus the officials who came from the south and the officials who were favored by the imperial court. The positions are already fully filled. Generally, a second-class Jinshi can fill a slightly better county magistrate within a year, so he gritted his teeth and went.
If it doesn't matter, and you still have to wait for the errand of the magistrate, I'm afraid you have to be prepared to retire in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Of course, the status of local officials is far inferior to that of officials in the capital. Therefore, if the Jinshi gentlemen can stay in the capital, they will definitely stay in the capital. If some second-class Jinshi are sure to be released, they will lie in bed and pretend to be sick. They will not live or die. Be willing to leave.
And Shen Yi has already found a way for himself.
With Zhao Changping being such a powerful person, if he does not join the imperial court, but takes the normal route to fill the vacancy, as long as he is a second-class Jinshi, Zhao Changping might really be able to get him an errand as a magistrate.
Of course, even if a newly promoted Jinshi master is sent to serve as a prefecture, he will most likely be in a remote and remote state capital. For a prefect of a major city in the capital like Jiangdu, it doesn't matter if he has no ability. Don't even think about it.
In any case, Zhao Shilang is still very good to Shen Yi.
Shen hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak clearly to the humanoid in front of him.
He said slowly: "Uncle, the person in the palace who is talking to my nephew is none other than Eunuch Gao."
After hearing these words, Zhao Shilang was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
He glanced at Shen Yi silently and suddenly smiled: "In that case, I won't ask anything."
Shen Yi came to Zhao's house today simply because he passed the examination. According to the rules, he came to say hello to Zhao Changping, the elder. However, the two of them had a good relationship now, so they chatted in the study for a while until it got completely dark. Shen Yi Say goodbye and leave.
Minister Zhao did not keep him, but asked Zhao Jizhou to send Shen Yi home.
After leaving Zhao's house, Zhao Er felt a lot more relaxed. He led Shen Yi on the street. When he almost reached Shen Yi's door, Zhao Er looked around, then smiled and said: "Zi Heng is really amazing. The provincial examination. All the examinations are passed in one test, and now that Zi Heng has basically won the Jinshi title, we two brothers are going to have a drink to celebrate?"
Shen Yi glanced at Zhao Er and said helplessly: "Second brother, most of the shops that are open at this moment are on both sides of the Qinhuai River?"
Zhao Er chuckled and said, "Zi Heng, you will be on the gold medal list soon. You have studied hard for so many years, and now that all the hard work has been rewarded, can't you relax and enjoy yourself?"
"The imperial examination will be held in a few days."
Shen Yi breathed out softly and said, "Second brother, I have to keep up my energy these days and I can't embarrass myself in front of His Majesty."
The palace examination results are released immediately next to the general examination.
According to the process of previous years, after the exam results are released on April 15th, on April 18th or 19th, the court will call the newly promoted tributes to the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a re-examination to see if anyone cheated and passed the exam. , followed by April 21st, the palace examination was also officially held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The questions for the imperial examination were given by the emperor himself.
In fact, at this moment, Shen Yi had the idea of finding the emperor's back door. After all, he, Mr. Shen, also wanted to be known as the top three. Even if he could not win the second place in the first place, it would be great to win the third place.
However, after much thought, Shen Yi gave up the idea.
In previous years, the number of tributes and scholars was usually more than 300, and the maximum number was even 350, but this year there were only over 200 people.
It can be seen that the imperial court is very strict about this scientific examination, or it attaches great importance to this scientific examination. If Shen Yi goes to the emperor to go through the back door, it is no different from going to the principal's office to ask the principal for answers during the examination.
Since you can't cheat, you have to bite the bullet.
Zhao Jizhou chuckled: "Since Ziheng wants to recharge his batteries, I won't force you as a brother. I'm going to drink near the Qinhuai River tonight. I won't go back tonight. If one day my parents at home If I ask about this matter, Ziheng, you have to bear witness for me."
Although Zhao Er is a bit bohemian, he also has one advantage, that is, he is very afraid of his parents.
Or be very filial to your parents.
Shen Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, if my uncle and aunt ask, I will tell them that my second brother is sleeping at my house today."
Zhao Jizhou was overjoyed.
"That's the best thing to say!"
He rolled his eyes, then patted Shen Yi's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "How about this, Qi Lang, if my parents ask, just say that I am happy for you, drink at your house, and sleep at your house." Three days!”
Mr. Shen was a little helpless.
"Second brother, you have to pay attention to your health."
Zhao Er laughed and strode towards the Qinhuai River.
"Don't worry Ziheng, my brother is in very good health and is well-known in Qinhuai River!"
When he said the first few words, he was still not far in front of Shen Yi. When he said "very famous", his voice was far away and he was obviously far away.
Shen Yi looked at Zhao Jizhou's handsome back and felt envious in his heart.
This is the benefit of precise reincarnation.
Unlike Mr. Shen, who has studied hard for so long and still hasn't gotten out of the problem book, he is really a bit of a failure.
But soon...
Shen Yi looked up at the sky. It was late at night on April 16th, and it was not far from April 17th.
That is to say. In two days, Shen Yi will go to the palace for a re-examination, and in four days, the palace examination will officially begin.
After passing the palace examination, you can throw away the question book and start studying hard and darkly.
Shen Yi thought as he knocked on his courtyard door.
"Qing'er Ping'er, I'm back, come and open the door!"
