But in Daze Country, this kind of thing is not surprising.
To put it simply, although Erjia was awarded the seventh rank, he was still a capital official. If he served for three years after being appointed to serve in various ministries and passed the assessment, he could be transferred to be the head of each ministry.
The heads of each department are the sixth grade.
If you pass the examination, you can also leave the capital and serve as a local official.
And for such low-ranking Beijing officials who leave the capital to serve as local officials, they can be promoted by 1-3 levels.
The highest level can be promoted to the sixth level.
The second best person in the rankings, who was awarded the rank of Editor of the Hanlin Academy, was in the seventh rank, which didn't look very high.
But in Daze Kingdom, the Hanlin Academy was known as the place of prime minister.
In the entire Daze Kingdom for more than two hundred years, except for the beginning of the dynasty, all the cabinet ministers in the rest of the time came from the Hanlin Academy.
This is the reason why it is extremely difficult for second- and third-class people to enter the cabinet.
After being awarded an official title, the Jinshi parade around the streets to praise the official.
As the number one scholar, Fang Xiaoyue wore a special uniform and a big red flower on her head.
Putting this kind of look in Fang Xiaoyue's world, people would probably think of her as a lunatic.
But here, whether it is the second best person, the third best person, or other Jinshi, they are probably willing to exchange everything.
And when the Jinshi paraded in the streets to praise their officials, only the top scholar could ride a horse and walk at the front, with the second and third prize on both sides, and other Jinshi following behind.
Before Jinshi paraded in the streets to praise his officials, a large number of soldiers from the City Patrol Department and all the government officials under Jing Zhaoyin took to the streets and lined up on both sides of the streets to guard them. Early in the morning, sweepers swept the streets back and forth several times to keep them clean.
At this time, no carriages or oxen were allowed on the main roads in the capital, which were used for parades to praise officials.
When the Jinshi slowly left the palace, surrounded by a large number of soldiers, and entered the main road to parade around to praise their officials, the atmosphere in the entire capital became lively.
Early on, a large number of officials, ladies and ladies had booked street-facing rooms in restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the main road to watch the new scholars.
The common people who had no money to rent rooms facing the street crowded on both sides of the street and looked excitedly at the Jinshi who passed by on the street.
Many women even deliberately took their children to see them, to the effect that they were interested in literature, hoping that their children would be admitted to the imperial examinations and become officials in the future.
It's hard to say that Fang Xiaoyue's body is good-looking. As soon as he appeared, cheers rang out in the rooms facing the street upstairs on both sides of the street. Many ladies and ladies braved it and put the incense they had prepared in advance. The bag was dropped from upstairs and hit Fang Xiaoyue on the head, making him quite embarrassed.
The girls on both sides of the street took out the petals they picked and threw them towards the street.
In short, at this time, the eldest girl and the young daughter-in-law all want to let the number one scholar take a look at themselves.
Some are trembling with love, and some are pregnant with children, trying to make the children look similar to the number one scholar.
In short, after this trip to the streets to praise the officials, no matter it was Fang Xiaoyue, second place, third overall, or even the next Jinshi, everyone had a lot of petals stained on their bodies, and there were even sachets hanging on their hats.
Back at the inn, Zhang Yuanming hurriedly came up to him and was shocked when he saw Fang Xiaoyue's appearance: "Brother Mingrui, what's wrong with you?"
Fang Xiaoyue smiled bitterly and rubbed a green bag on her forehead: "I don't know which silly girl sewed the silver into the sachet and then threw it away."…
To be honest, Fang Xiaoyue didn't notice the danger at all at the time.
Because they didn’t mean any harm, and they didn’t know that the silver sewn in the sachet would hurt someone if dropped.
So Fang Xiaoyue fell into the trap without any warning.
That blow almost knocked him off his horse.
Fortunately, after the Wuqu Zhuang reached level 9, his body was now quite strong after being continuously washed by star power. Just one blow would not knock him out.
Of course, this also made him the joke of many Jinshi after he finished his parade to praise his officials.
I am afraid that the allusion of the No. 1 scholar being smashed by a sachet while walking down the street will be circulated for a long time.
"I'm going to help you find some medicine for bruises."
Zhang Yuanming hurriedly went to the doctor and bought a small jar of safflower oil to help Fang Xiaoyue reduce the swelling.
When she got up the next morning, Fang Xiaoyue looked at the bag on her forehead in the bronze mirror.
Fortunately, after rubbing with safflower oil and resting for a night, the green buns dissipated a lot and the volume was reduced by at least half, making them no longer as eye-catching as yesterday.
If the green bag was still that big, he would be too embarrassed to go to the Ministry of Personnel to get his official certificate today.
After renting a carriage, Fang Xiaoyue took Zhang Yuanming to the Ministry of Personnel.
The Ministry of Personnel is the head of all the ministries except the Ministry of Rites!
The Minister of Civil Affairs is also known as the Heavenly Official.
This is all because officials below the third rank are appointed and dismissed by the Ministry of Personnel.
For many officials in the world, the Ministry of Personnel is the key department in charge of their future.
Therefore, compared with other departments, the official office of the Ministry of Personnel has the largest area and is also the most gorgeous.
When Fang Xiaoyue entered, she even gave the veteran guarding the door a piece of silver and two taels before being allowed in.
This is not surprising. For officials like Fang Xiaoyue who have not yet taken up their posts in the Hanlin Academy, you really can't get in if the veterans guarding the gates of the civil service department won't let you in.
As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. This is the truth.
After entering the Libu Yamen, Fang Xiaoyue was a little dumbfounded. The area inside the Libu Yamen was too large. There was a large garden at the entrance, and there were five corridors behind the garden.
Five corridors lead to the five departments of the Ministry of Personnel respectively.
Fang Xiaoyue didn't know anything about it, so she shamelessly grabbed a supervisor and asked him.
The person in charge, whose surname was Li, was kind-hearted and immediately pointed Fang Xiaoyue in the direction of the Wenxuan Cleaning Department.
After Fang Xiaoyue thanked the chief, she went straight to the Wenxuan Cleaning Department.
There are four divisions under the Ministry of Personnel. Among them, the Wenxuanqing Official Division is responsible for the promotion, promotion and transfer of officials.
After arriving at the Wenxuan Qingli Department, a chief received him.
His surname is Niu.
The bull boss was a little fat and looked to be in his forties. He cupped his hands towards Fang Xiaoyue and said, "I heard that this year's number one scholar is very talented in literature and is very handsome. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."
"Don't take it seriously, Master Niu is joking."
Fang Xiaoyue was afraid that the boss Niu had a daughter in his family and was interested in her, so he hurriedly became humble.
Fortunately, the boss Niu seemed to have no daughter in his family. After chatting with Fang Xiaoyue for a while, he handed over his official certificate to him.
The official certificate is a certification document for Daze Kingdom officials. It is made of high-quality mulberry leaves. On it is written with cinnabar Fang Xiaoyue's name, place of origin, number one in the imperial examination, sixth rank and other information. ….
After getting the official certificate, Fang Xiaoyue said goodbye to Master Niu.
At this time, some officials also delivered some documents, so Manager Niu did not keep Fang Xiaoyue.
After leaving the staff department, Fang Xiaoyue looked at the sky, then got on the carriage and headed towards the palace.
Today is the time for the Qionglin Banquet.
This Qionglin Banquet is a tradition handed down from the founding emperor of Daze Kingdom.
After the imperial examination, His Majesty the Emperor will hold a banquet in Qionglin Garden to entertain the new scholars.
It is precisely because this banquet was held in Qionglin Garden that it was called Qionglin Banquet.
However, Qionglin Garden is not located in the palace, but in Liulinhai on the east side of the palace.
Liulinhai is a summer resort for emperors of all dynasties in the capital.
It is a sea with an area of more than 20 square kilometers, surrounded by large willow trees. Waterside pavilions and pavilions can be seen everywhere. Qionglin Garden is located on an island in Liulinhai.
There were soldiers patrolling outside Liulin. When Fang Xiaoyue arrived, many Jinshi were waiting here early.
This is probably when they are most energetic.
They gathered in small groups, talked about life, and reflected on the wonderful life in the future.
Wait until all the Jinshi have arrived
When everyone gathered together, a eunuch in charge of Liu Linhai came out to welcome him: "My lords, are you here to attend the Qiong Lin Banquet?"
All the Jinshi responded in unison.
Jinshi at this time probably disliked eunuchs the least.
When they have been officials for a long time, they will gradually feel very disgusted with the profession of eunuchs.
"Then please show me your official credentials, my responsibilities. I need to check them first."
Everyone knows that Liulinhai is a royal forest garden, and naturally they also know that it is heavily guarded.
Therefore, no one would jump out and scold the eunuch at this time, saying what qualifications do you have to inspect our official credentials?
After the old eunuch inspected the officials one by one, he smiled and bowed his hands to the Jinshi: "Sir, I'm sorry, but please come with me."
After following the old eunuch into Liulinhai, the new scholars were like country bumpkins entering the city. They looked around and felt that they were not enough.
This is not surprising. Even those few Jinshi who were originally from the capital had no chance to enter this royal garden.
Walking all the way to the lake, the scholars boarded a painting boat.
More than a dozen little eunuchs worked hard together and rowed quickly. The painting boat soon arrived at a large island in the lake.
There is a palace on the island, which is magnificent and magnificent. There are twelve copper crane lanterns in front of the palace.
Entering the palace, the scholars were led to sit down one after another.
After a while, the chief assistant and other officials arrived one after another.
As the chief assistant and others arrived, dishes and drinks began to be served one by one.
But even after smelling the fragrant aroma of vegetables, no one dared to move quickly.
Because the most important protagonist of the Qionglin Banquet, His Majesty the Emperor, has not yet arrived.
To be honest, after waiting for more than an hour, Fang Xiaoyue became a little impatient. She reached out and quietly scratched her back, but was glared at by a eunuch next to her.
Probably the eunuch was thinking that this man dared to do such an indecent thing in the palace.
But Fang Xiaoyue didn't care at all, he was just an ordinary eunuch. ….
The emperor didn't come, so this was not considered disrespectful to the emperor at all, so even if the other party wanted to file a complaint, it would be impossible.
An hour later, a large group of forbidden troops arrived and guarded the inside and outside of the palace.
At this time, both the chief minister and other officials and Jinshi all stood up and showed respect.
Because everyone knows that this is the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor.
In fact, this was the case. His Majesty the Emperor, surrounded by a group of eunuchs, entered the palace and sat down on the dragon throne.
A great eunuch next to him immediately shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived! All the officials are here to greet you!"
Under the leadership of the chief minister, all the officials and scholars saluted the emperor.
"Your Majesty, today is a Qionglin banquet. No need to be formal, I want to have fun with you all!"
The emperor's voice was relatively deep, and Fang Xiaoyue felt that it sounded a little kidney-deficient.
Of course, having said this, no one dared to be presumptuous in front of the emperor. It was not until the emperor personally stretched out his hands to pick up a piece of Fu Lu meat and put it into his mouth that the first assistant started to move quickly. As soon as the first assistant moved quickly, all the officials also started to move. Just follow the move quickly, and then all the Jinshi move quickly.
In fact, even those new scholars had received some etiquette training before.
No one dares to be careless when it comes to meeting the emperor.
If you are not careful, you will be disrespectful to the emperor, and you will be impeached at the least, and lose your head directly at the worst.
In fact, everyone's appetite at this time is not very good.
Only Fang Xiaoyue moved quickly, specializing in picking up meat to eat. There was nothing he could do, he was really hungry.
Of course, even so, he felt that the dish was not very appetizing because he had waited too long and the dishes on the table were a little cold at this time.
If there are no conditions, Fang Xiaoyue can eat anything, but if there are conditions, he is still quite picky.
I wonder if it was because Fang Xiaoyue ate relatively quickly that His Majesty the Emperor noticed him.
Naturally, His Majesty the Emperor did not come here to eat. He came here just because of the custom of the Qionglin Banquet.
These new scholars are called disciples of the emperor. As a teacher, it is natural for them to eat and drink with their students to enhance their friendship.
This is also one of the methods used by emperors in the past dynasties to control their courtiers.
After all, an emperor who is not popular with his ministers, even if he is an emperor, is very dangerous.
"The custom of this Qionglin Banquet is that all Jinshi are required to write poems."
The emperor suddenly spoke, causing everyone to quickly put down their taikos and listen to the oracle.
"Fang Aiqing, you are the number one scholar. I heard that you are quite talented in poetry. I ordered you to write a poem on the theme of Qionglin Banquet."
Fang Xiaoyue never expected that His Majesty the Emperor would target him instead.
Of course, although Qionglin Banquet's poetry writing does not necessarily follow the order of first place, second place, and third place, generally whoever writes the poem first will read it first.
But if His Majesty the Emperor designates who should write the poem first, it is certainly possible and must be carried out.
"Follow the Holy Order!"
Fang Xiaoyue naturally did not dare to disobey the order at this time, and hurriedly saluted the emperor, then thought about it in her mind, and finally copied a poem written by Wen Tianxiang at the Qionglin Banquet in the original world.
Fang Xiaoyue pretended to be thoughtful at first, then frowned slightly and saluted His Majesty the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I'm done."
"I gave you a poem to Qionglin for a banquet! I received the imperial edict and received a new crown, and my Majesty came back to look at the sky. The clouds are covered with five-color talisman flags, and thousands of officials are exposed wearing rings. The Yanxi banquet coincides with the Cow Girl Festival, and the Luan Chapter shines in the light. In the Bikui room, I presented poems to describe the elegant and foolish ministers' affairs, and I saw that Geng Ge's mood was restored."
As Fang Xiaoyue recited in a deep voice, everyone couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.
In ancient times, there were seven steps to compose a poem, but Fang Mingrui’s frown made him write poems!
"Okay, okay, Fang Aiqing is really talented in poetry. If your poems are good, I will reward you! Wang Defa, hurry up and get my Wanfang inkstone!"
