The north wind is gradually turning cold, and winter is coming.
Early that morning, Qi Yu put on thick clothes and rushed to the staff department to learn about his appointment.
Yes, the half-year period is here and it's time to be released.
This time, I took a strange path.
Why do you say that?
Under normal circumstances, Dingjia's candidates are appointed by the emperor for official positions, which is commonly known as Dianhanlin. There is no need to take the initiative to inquire.
However, the emperor inexplicably made himself wait for half a year, saying that he had another appointment.
In this case, his official position will be announced through the Ministry of Personnel.
Of course, the final decision on the dismissal of officials still lies in the hands of the emperor, and the staff is only responsible for passing the news.
As far as the Jinshi of Sandingjia is concerned, in theory, they can be placed at the highest rank of the seventh rank. For example, the former number one scholar was awarded the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and the second place was awarded the editor of the Hanlin Academy. Both of them belong to the seventh rank.
The same is generally true for winning third place.
Some people may ask, Han Chuang studied hard for so long and finally got admitted as a Dingjia Jinshi. Why did he become a seventh-grade Sesame Official?
Haha, you can't say that, you know, the seventh-grade official is already quite old!
It may be easier to understand by giving an example.
Let’s just say that in future generations, those freshly graduated college students, even if they are highly sophisticated talents, will not be able to make you a top leader at the county or city level as soon as you come up.
Do you understand?
So, does the court’s arrangement make sense?
have!
You know, the imperial examination and becoming an official are two different things.
That is: the difference between learning and applying it.
Your excellent performance in the imperial examination can only mean that you are pretty good at "learning", but how you do after becoming an official depends on your "application" ability.
Sanding Armor is no exception.
If someone thinks that they can become a high official after winning the first prize, they are completely wrong. There is no such saying in history.
Without further ado, let’s get back to the topic.
Objectively speaking, it is quite remarkable that the starting point for becoming an official is a seventh-grade official.
If you want to become a big official, you have to climb up step by step.
Remitting an official position is just the beginning of becoming an official. There is still a long road to promotion to go. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
In terms of official positions, in addition to the size of the rank, there are also differences in the nature of the official positions.
This topic is all-encompassing and it is difficult to go into details. To put it simply, it can be divided into two types, namely leaders and those led, or those with real power and those without real power.
Take the newly appointed officials in the capital as an example. They usually start with clerical jobs, such as the Hanlin Academy Editor for the No. 1 Scholar, the Hanlin Academy Editor for the No. 2 Scholar, and other positions such as Chief Registrar, Chief Secretary, and Zhao Mo. Civil service optional.
In fact, these are all minor roles, somewhat similar to the president's secretary in a super large company in later generations, and they all fall into the category of being led.
Want real power?
Yes, you can climb up by stepping on other people’s necks!
The road is long and long, and everything has just begun.
…
The north wind blew by, sweeping up the dead leaves on the roadside and fluttering.
The cold weather could not suppress the enthusiasm in Qi Yu's heart. As he walked, he thought: What kind of official position will the emperor reward me?
Unknowingly, I walked to the official department.
Ah! What a coincidence!
What's going on?
The great eunuch San Dezi happened to be here to deliver the edict and was announcing Qi Yu's appointment.
"Master Qi came just in time, come and listen too."
"Well……"
Mr. Qi?
Gee, this title is really unfamiliar.
But it sounds pretty good.
Qi Yu hurriedly cupped his hands and asked with a smile: "Qi Yu has met the eunuch, I wonder what kind of official position the emperor has given me?"
Seeing his humility, San Dezi's attitude became kinder: "Aren't you asking knowingly? Of course he is a civil servant."
Qi Yu asked again: "I wonder what kind of civil service he is?"
San Dezi said: "The emperor has appointed you as the chief registrar of the Xingtaipu Temple. Your official position will be from the seventh rank. Your appointment time is set for the first day of the next month."
"this……"
Qi Yu was shocked!
What shocked him was not the position of chief registrar, but the department he was assigned to—Xingtaipu Temple!
What kind of agency is this?
Let’s hear the details.
Xingtaipu Temple is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and its responsibility is in charge of border horse administration, that is, the relevant units that manage war horses and horse herding.
How strange! Weird!
How could the emperor let himself take care of the horses?
I am a top talent in Dingjia. Even if I cannot enter the Hanlin Academy, I am still qualified to serve in the six major ministries. How can I go to Xingtaipu Temple?
Could it be a mistake?
The emperor has given a verbal order, saying that he will definitely be reused!
Is this considered reuse?
Sandoku laughed and said, "Who said that if you go to Xingtaipu Temple, you won't be reused?"
Um?
Qi Yu was at a loss...
San Dezi coughed dryly and imitated his master's tone and spoke in an official tone:
Xingtaipu Temple is in charge of horse administration and is a strong support behind the scenes of our frontier cavalry. The quality of the war horses is directly related to the success or failure of the battle. If you can hold such an important position, what is it if you are not reused?
What is the logic?
Qi Yu took a few deep breaths, and his rambling mood finally calmed down.
Well, even reuse!
But why did the emperor arrange this?
Could you please give me some advice?
Santoku glanced sideways, as if he suddenly had a relapse and seemed to have forgotten.
this……
Qi Yu gritted his teeth and stuffed a package of things very discreetly.
Then Santoku thought of it again.
"We can only tell you one thing. Please listen carefully. Your Majesty doesn't like to use people who can't see through it. You should slowly understand what this sentence means."
People who can’t see through?
How to understand this?
But it's not hard to tell that the emperor doesn't like him.
Niang Xipi!
Could it be because of the "Cricket Picture"?
Qi Yu suddenly shuddered and did not dare to think further.
After San Dezi said these words, he said goodbye and left on the pretext of rushing back to his hometown. Qi Yu also left after completing the appointment procedures at the Ministry of Personnel and receiving his official uniform.
On the way back, Qi Yu seemed a little worried about gains and losses, and looked a little depressed.
It was not easy for him to join the officialdom from a humble family, but unexpectedly he got this result.
Yin Jun, as a successor, successfully entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but he became a horse-breeding official. Life is really unpredictable!
How can you know that it is a blessing in disguise?
right! Don't give up on yourself, let alone belittle yourself!
What's there to be upset about?
Although he was only given the title of Bi Ma Wen, he was still a public servant!
If you get a penny as a salary, you can raise horses if you want to raise them!
As a result, Qi Yu regained his balance.
Since you can't change anything, you can only face it calmly.
Before coming to Beijing, Yu Hai had advised himself. He said that he must be a broad-minded and generous person. Only in this way can he be successful in the officialdom.
Yes, I am still young and will have plenty of opportunities to climb up in the future. There is really no need to try to get ahead of myself.
Well, today is the day of joining the official position, so you should be happy!
Thinking of this, Qi Yu chuckled and couldn't help but walk towards the vegetable market.
…
The dinner was sumptuous, and the table was filled with big fish and meat.
Yes, the family is very happy.
The man in the family has become an official, a senior official from the seventh rank!
It seems that Liu Quan and Zhou only care about the rank of the official position, but not much about the type of position.
"Seventh grade is promoted to sixth grade, and then promoted again..."
"The salary will also increase..."
Just after dinner, Ms. Zhou couldn't wait to urge her son to put on his official uniform and let her take a good look. Liu Quan also cast an expectant look.
Trying on official uniform?
That's fine.
Then let your family take a sneak peek!
Not to mention, it’s really good!
Look, the cyan clothes with small mixed flowers and embroidered orioles look elegant and generous.
According to the official uniform system of this dynasty, civilian officials embroidered birds and generals embroidered animals. Different patterns represented different identities.
Looking at the clothes on his body, Qi Yu suddenly came up with a strange guess: Could it be that the beast said that this is how it came about?
Unexpectedly, Qi Xiao's words were even more shocking: "Haha, daddy has turned into a birdman!"
