The doctor of the Wenxuan Department was named Wang Zhoushao, and he was a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing. His tutor was Li Chunfang. Generally speaking, it was unlikely that he would be able to be the doctor of the Wenxuan and Qing officials department. But relatively speaking, he was actually an impartial person and was highly appreciated by Emperor Mu Zong. He was a good scholar at that time. After the dissolution of the academy, Gao Gong appointed him as the director of the Examination Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and later he was promoted to Yuanwai Lang. After Guo Pu succeeded Gao Gong, he further became the doctor of the Examination Department. Last year, he was adjusted again and became the doctor of the Wenxuan Department. , it can be said that it was a moment of glory, but now when he met the Gao pragmatic trio, he didn't have the airs he had just now.
It turned out that Wang Zhoushao was from Huayin, Shaanxi, and his hometown was only separated from Zhang Siwei's hometown of Puzhou by the Yellow River. He and Gao pragmatic, Zhang's nephew in Puzhou, could be considered half of the same family. So when Wang Zhoushao saw Gao Pragmatic, he said enthusiastically: "I heard that the number one scholar won the championship with six titles. We and other Beibang officials are all so proud! To be honest with the number one scholar, many Beibang officials want to get closer to the number one scholar. Otherwise, I will hold a banquet at Wanglong Tower to celebrate the number one scholar some other day. I wonder if the number one scholar is willing to honor me?"
Gao pragmatically knew that after becoming an official, such entertainment was indispensable. In the past, most of these things were not his turn, but now it would be rude not to go. Although he does not need to borrow from the official department, his peers still need it - he can't do anything. Everything is handled through the teacher Guo Pu. He is a teacher, not an official.
Besides, Wang Langzhong explained that "many Beibang officials" wanted to see him, which must have meaning. As Gao Pragmatic himself was born in Beibang, of course he had to agree.
So Gao pragmatic agreed, and Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan were also invited. However, Wang Tingzhuan could agree because he and the prince were both from Shaanxi, but Xiao Liangyou had to politely decline. Yes - he is from Huguang, so it would be inappropriate to join a group of Beibang officials.
After that, the three of them registered their official certificates and resumes, and then received their official uniforms.
The official uniforms of officials are divided into court uniforms, public uniforms, ordinary uniforms, official uniforms, and official uniforms. They have different functions, but the most commonly worn are official uniforms and ordinary uniforms.
The so-called public uniforms are those worn when going to court. Those who are above the fourth rank are considered to be high-ranking officials among the approximately 20,000 officials in the Ming Dynasty.
Ranks 5 to 7 serve the Qing Dynasty, while those of the 8th and 9th ranks serve the Qing Dynasty. Gao Jingshi once specially served the Qing Dynasty before, but he had no choice but to wear it after he resigned. But now he has become a compilator of the Hanlin Academy. This official is From the sixth grade, one wears a green robe with a tuan collar, embellished with small miscellaneous flowers, and a black horn leather belt, which is regarded as wearing green clothes again.
The regular clothes are worn when sitting in the office on weekdays. They are shaped like a blue robe like a tuan collar shirt. The edges of the clothes are embroidered with four-clawed dragons and pythons in gold, and the patches are embroidered with egrets. As for the official uniforms written by Xiao Liangyou and Wang Ting, they are exactly the same as Gao Pingshi's, but the regular uniforms are different. There is no four-clawed dragon python on the edge of the clothes, and the embroidery on the patch is the imperial edict of Xixi.
The gold embroidery of the four-clawed dragon and python on the official robes is the treatment for officials of the sixth rank and above, but not for the seventh rank and below.
In fact, Gao Jingshi has a bright red silk flying fish suit given by the emperor. This does not need to be returned after resigning. Theoretically, he can still wear it, but it would be too flamboyant, so he will definitely not wear it again now.
Before leaving, Wang Zhoushao politely said to the three of them: "When you three are free in the future, you might as well come to me to drink tea and chat more often. I am very much looking forward to being able to communicate with Sanding Jia."
Looking at the row of officials waiting to be received by Wang Zhoushao outside, the three of them knew that these were polite words and should not be taken seriously. Even if Wang Langzhong was really interested in chatting, it would probably only be with Gao Pragmatic, but they still said politely: " Thank you Quan Cao."
After coming out of the Ministry of Personnel, the three of them were considered to be officials. After complimenting and joking with each other, they went to Shangbaosi to receive the official tooth badges.
Official dental plaques were always only available to officials in the capital, and they were issued through the palace ban during court visits. However, Gao Jingshi had a dental plaque at that time, which was specially made by the late Emperor Longqing. It was a silver medal because Gao was young at the time. , the silver medal is not easily damaged, and has now been returned to the palace.
Nowadays, Gao pragmatism's dental plaque is the common format. It has a moire pattern engraved on the upper part, and the three characters "Hanlin Yuan" in regular script are engraved horizontally on the front, which refers to Gao pragmatism's service in the yamen, and the two characters "Xiuzhuan" in regular script are engraved vertically. The title of a high-pragmatic official position has a unified format on the back, with the twenty-six characters engraved on the back: "The court official carries this card. Those who do not have the card will be punished according to the law. The borrower and the person who borrowed it are guilty of the same crime. They are not used when leaving the capital."
Because it is an ordinary dental plaque, it is relatively easy to be damaged. Therefore, the officials during the imperial court hanging the dental plaque on the left waist and then wrapped it in a bag, cherishing it very much. Thinking back, the silver dental plaque I had back then was more convenient...
After the three of them received their official uniforms and dental plaques, it was time to report to the Hanlin Academy. However, according to the rules they had heard before, the three of them could not go together this time. As the number one scholar, Gao Pragmatic should be the first to go.
The Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Civil Affairs are located on East Chang'an Street, two blocks away, next to the Yuhe River and the Imperial City, and next door is the Siyi Pavilion. He has actually been an official in the Hanlin Academy for nearly ten years, but unfortunately he has been here rarely and has never been promoted...
Gao pragmatic returned home and put on his regular clothes, that is, the blue official robe with four-clawed dragon and python gold embroidery, a heron and an owl patch, and a black gauze hat on his head. He looked at himself in the mirror and joked to himself: "I have been fooling around for ten years, and I am fooling again." Back to Qingpao."
From now on, you will have to wear this when sitting in the Yamen court. As for the dental plaque, you don't need it except when going to court, but you should wear it all the time. If it is lost, the damage will be severely punished. Gao Pragmatically wraps it in a bag and ties it on the left side. The leather belt around the waist.
Putting on this official robe that he passed the examination for, Gao Pragmatic was no longer the close minister of the prince who relied on the care of his uncle's holy family. Cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. Now I can be considered successful in cultivating oneself and managing the family, and have begun to take the step of governing the country.
However, this idea is also hypocritical. Although he Gao Mou did not "govern the country" before, but if you think about it carefully, the impact on things is really not small.
When an official takes office, there will be a lot of red tape. Gao pragmatically sent someone to inform him before arriving at the hospital. When he arrived at the hospital, the editor Zeng Chaojie came out to greet him and served as the forerunner. When they met, Zeng Chaojie nodded friendly and pragmatically.
Zeng Chaojie was the number one scholar in the fifth year of Wanli. This is different from the original history. The reason is that Shen Maoxue, the number one scholar in that year in history, was a disciple of Xinxue. Gao Gong was still there in the fifth year of Wanli. How could Shen Maoxue be the number one scholar? The second place on the list was historically Zhang Sixiu, the son of Zhang Juzheng, but now he is Song Xiyao - this is Huiyuan who was selected by Zhang Siwei. However, the place was changed to second place after the palace examination, but Zhang Sixiu still won the 213th place with the same Jinshi.
Gao pragmatically entered the courtyard gate, first entered the right corridor and surrounded the gate, went to the Saint's Shrine to offer incense, and bowed four times to the Holy Master. Then he went to Changli Temple to offer incense and two bows. This Changli Temple is dedicated to none other than Han Yu, the head of the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties", and Changli is Han Yu's hometown.
It is also interesting to say that in the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Hanlin Academy all had Changli Temples. Although Han Yu never entered the Hanlin Academy in his life, his articles were respected as a model by the Hanlin Academy of the Ming Dynasty.
After worshiping at the two temples, go out of the right corridor and enter through Dengying Gate. Behind the Yingying Gate is the inner hall, which faces south and has a width of five couplets. The west of the hall is the lecture hall and the east of the hall is the review hall.
The Lecture and Reading Hall is a public hall where the sixth-grade ministers and lecturers sit in the hall. The Hanlin ministers and lecturers are called lecturers. Some of them have been admitted to the Zhida University and have the position of giving lectures on the emperor's classic banquets. As for the Review Hall, also known as the Review Hall, it is the public house where the sixth rank editor, the seventh rank editor, and the seventh rank review sit. The editor, editor, reviewer, and historian are also commonly known as historians.
Zeng Chaojie led Gao Pragmatic and three others to the Procuratorate Hall, and the subordinate officials in the Procuratorate Hall went to the hall to pay their respects.
The subordinate officials are also divided into three, six or nine grades. The first person to visit is the official, that is, the official on duty, who has the highest status among the officials.
Today is the day when Master Hanlin's new official takes office. All the officials in the hall who are on duty or not come to pay homage.
Gao pragmatically sat on the public seat, and the six of them saluted together: "Meet Mr. Xiu Zhuan."
Then perform four obeisances to the high official. Next to the official position is the writing official, the clerk of the yamen, who also performs four bows. Thirdly, it is the hall class, that is, the servants in the hall still perform the four bows. Finally, there are the servants, who have the lowest status and are not even as good as officials. They kowtow.
On the left side of the entrance to the review hall is the historian's seat, and on the right side is the place where classics and historical books are stored, as well as the official's room. There are about twenty more public cases in the hall. This side is where the officials work, and to the west is the official case for the officials.
The highly pragmatic koan is pictured sixth in the second row. He walked to his seat and sat down. He first handed the seal to the official for safekeeping, and then took it out when he wanted to use the seal. The four treasures of the study are included in the koan, but it is an office environment open to all sides.
Gao Pangshi had been in the Hanlin Academy for almost ten years, but he had never been to this office. He thought that now that he was an official Hanlin official, he should have a small private room to work. Only after he arrived did he realize that he If you think too much, let alone a private office, there is not even a partition. The office environment is not as good as the white-collar workers of later generations.
Then Zeng Chaojie led a class member to talk to Gao pragmatically and said: "Gao Xiuzhuan, all the officials in this court are served by a clerk. This person is quite diligent. According to the instructions of the head of the court, he will be assigned to you. .”
After finishing speaking, Zeng Chaojie looked at the official and said with a serious face: "This is the new number one scholar. He is the sixth number one scholar who has been hand-picked by Long Live Yubi as 'the true leader for two hundred years'. Being able to follow him will make you cultivate for many lifetimes." You need to serve the blessings that have come to you carefully and obey the orders, and do not be rude. If there are any mistakes, the hospital rules will take care of them!"
The classmate hurriedly bowed down and said: "The great master is here, but the little man dare not. The little man Liu He pays his respects to the great master who is the number one scholar."
Gao pragmatic took a closer look at him and felt that this person seemed to be quite honest in appearance, and nodded slightly in his heart. From now on, this person can be regarded as working with me, serving tea and water, and can be regarded as his full-time secretary.
However, officials have never looked down on these officials, so Gao Pragmatic did not pretend to be close to the people. This only lowered his status, so he said nonsense like "You must be sincere and sincere."
Liu He looked like he was bowing his head and obeying his orders, and then Zeng Chaojie winked at Gao Jingshi, who understood and took half a tael of silver from his sleeve to reward Liu He. Liu He didn't expect Gao Pingshi to be so generous, and he looked very grateful after taking the money.
Zeng nodded towards Node and signaled Liu He to retreat, then smiled and said to Gao Pingshi: "I'll pay my respects to the head of the courtyard later. I heard that I have an errand for you."
Gao Pragmatic was a little surprised. I had just arrived and I already had errands?
