For Li Miao, he is still two months away from turning 18, but his lifelong academic examinations for fame and fame have all come to an end. You can imagine how difficult it is. Although it is a bit excessive to have a Jinshi under fifty years old, most Jinshi are in their thirties or forties.
There are absolutely very few Jinshi under the age of twenty in each term, not to mention that Li Miao is only seventeen years old, plus the emperor's stop. At this moment, no matter how low-key Li Miao wanted to be, he might not be able to do so.
After the palace examination, the Gongsheng students no longer had the impatience they had after the general examination. He is already a Jinshi. As for the ranking, I generally have an idea of it. Even being a top three Jinshi is pretty good.
Some Gong students are more concerned about ranking, and those are the best. Thinking about becoming a first-class scholar, or even the top scholar. After all, these people are only a minority.
As a result, Gongsheng students now spend less time and leisure, and most Gongsheng students have begun to think about their future career. Make more connections, have more friends, more paths, not to mention these will all be officials in the future.
People gather in small groups to talk about the most popular topics. It’s Li Miao who has always kept a low profile.
"Why would you want to try for the twelfth place?" "You are only seventeen years old, and your future life is terrible." "What, what, the emperor stopped beside him during the imperial examination and watched for a long time." "Oh, it turns out he is a close disciple of the Vice Examiner Li Shouzhong."
When everyone knew that Li Miao turned out to be Li Shouzhong's close disciple. It seems like everything is as it should be. So the focus is no longer on Li Miao, but on his mentor Li Shouzhong.
Mr. Li Shouzhong, the deputy examiner, is now a popular figure around the emperor. His disciples who fail to pass the first grade will be disqualified. If I had the training of the deputy exam master, what does it mean to be ranked twelfth in the district exam? The emperor only paid attention to him because he was Li Shouzhong's disciple.
So, Li Miao suddenly became ordinary again. This is what Li Miao wants to see most. In fact, Li Miao didn't want to be noticed by others. Within a few days, Li Miao returned to a low-key life. He didn't want to show off, it was all the emperor's fault.
Besides, these Gongsheng students, who were mostly in their thirties and forties, did not take a teenage boy seriously. Being an official did not just rely on being ranked as a Jinshi. You have to rely on enlightenment, ability, relationships, etc.
Among the Jinshis in the past dynasties, there are really not many first-class Jinshis such as the number one scholar who finally entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister. It couldn’t be because it was floating! It also fully shows that being an official has no direct relationship with the quality of articles.
Jinshi directly enters the officialdom. In the officialdom, one's ability to conduct affairs is more important than one's articles. Even if you want to be a Jinshi or become an official, it no longer depends on your articles, but on your ability.
Of course, external factors are also important. How much can your family power help you? How much help can your various relationships bring to you.
But your own abilities become even more important after you reach a certain position. Your support is powerful, and it may even reach the level of the fourth grade. You don’t even need to be outstanding. Even if your performance is mediocre, your qualifications can help you rise to the top. But generally it depends on your own abilities.
When an official reaches this position, it doesn't matter, and it becomes important. Even those without a backing formed a gang. These officials don’t have fuel-efficient lamps. This ability is first of all the ability to deal with others. Some officials themselves are not very capable. But he has outstanding abilities in other aspects. He can also rise to great heights.
Being an official is a complex knowledge, and officials are all the elites among the elites of an era. How can it be so easy to be a high official? It can be said that abilities, relationships, and opportunities are all indispensable.
Li Miao's current understanding is that luck is very important. In later generations, Li Miao never served as an official, and now he is much stronger than later generations.
Li Miao has only been in this world for two years, and he has already reached a height that will never be reached by future generations. The title of Jinshi is about to be obtained. He was about to become an official. As he slowly honed his skills in the officialdom, he believed that he could go far.
Moreover, officialdom is also part of "Tao". Li Miao believes that through the tempering of officialdom, the Taoism he cares about most will be greatly improved. It's hard to make progress even if you compete with these experts.
The ranking of Jinshi is of course also important. Generally, the ranking of Jinshi depends on the bottleneck of the Jinshi's career in the future. Generally, those who are ranked first or second are Jinshi. That is, he will have the opportunity to enter the Hanlin Academy.
Then there is no ceiling for their official career, and they will be qualified to be cabinet ministers and prime ministers in the future.
And the second-class is at the back or the third-class is a Jinshi. Then their fourth rank may be his ceiling in the future. Of course, we can't generalize. When you have particularly outstanding abilities, you may get an exceptional promotion. But such people are rare after all.
The title of Jinshi is synonymous with success. Now Li Miao will soon have the title of Jinshi. The Li Miao family is about to produce a Jinshi. His family became the Jinshi family.
The Jinshi family is an amazing family in this world. Belong to a privileged family.
There is something more powerful than the Jinshi family, that is, there are several Jinshis in one family, and several generations of Jinshi families.
After Li Miao, it will be much easier for the descendants of the family to go to school. Even if a Jinshi is born, he will definitely have some background, and the family will definitely have a lot of books, and they will grow more and more.
Jinshi will also accumulate a certain amount of connections after becoming an official. That is to say, it will pave the way for future generations. Anyway, as long as you don't do anything, if you win the Jinshi, it is inevitable that the family will prosper.
Those who won Jinshi were considered disciples of the emperor. In fact, the emperor only looked at the top ten papers. Then decide on a ranking and that's it.
And then. Three people in the first class will be awarded Jinshi status, and most people in the second class will be given Jinshi background. The remaining second-level and third-level Jinshi are given the same background as Jinshi.
Compared with later generations, the Jinshi in ancient times were equivalent to the junior high school youth cadre class. I thought. A Jinshi is more valuable. Because there are only a hundred Jinshi on average nationwide a year. A smooth career.
These Jinshi scholars can all leave their names on the Jinshi monument. And it benefits the family. The local government will also build a Jinshi memorial arch in his hometown. In ancient times, no room was spared for Jinshi scholars, so as to honor the ancestors!
"Congratulations to Mr. Li Miao from Changzhou Prefecture for ranking ninth in the second grade of Dingmao Division." "Congratulations, sir." "Congratulations, sir." "As a reward, the slaves will be rewarded for two months." Like the tribute list, he is actually still ranked 12th. It seems that Li Miao's performance is stable.
But Li Miao didn't think so. The Jinshi were indeed great. I guessed and made predictions, but I still couldn't compete with them. Now, Li Miao's luck has soared.
The pinnacle of the seventh level of the cultivation realm and the Qi refining realm. The ranking list of the Inner Space Spiritual Consciousness Conference has been improved. The realm of cultivation finally broke through to the late stage of Qi refining realm. It seems that the luck of becoming a Jinshi is still very good.
At this time, the second house on Rongning Street was already a sea of joy, and the servants were also happy. They and Li Miao were one, and they both prospered and suffered.
Moreover, these slaves are all based on family units, and the whole family is happy. A rising tide lifts all boats for them too. Now the second entrance to the small courtyard on Rongning Street can truly be called Li's Mansion.
