Chapter 206: Conferring Officials (Middle) Asking for Subscriptions


The imperial talent promotion ceremony is undoubtedly the most important thing for the world, not only for the gentry and the common people, but also for the royal family.

After all, recruiting talents is to use the talents of the world.

What they do is naturally used by the Zhu family.

Therefore, no matter in the past dynasties, the imperial examination is very important.

Only by taking them can one be content with the people.

An official From childhood to greatness After being selected one after another until ranking in the top three, it is undoubtedly like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

It can be said that if you are not careful, you will go back and forth, so there is the eternal melancholy of "the most ruthless in the imperial examination, poor white hair epitaph".

However, today's protagonists are these scholars who have already jumped to the Dragon Gate.

They only need to go through today's final ceremony to officially become officials of the Ming Dynasty, achieving the ultimate goal of all scholars.

The importance of the talent promotion ceremony can be said to be related to the foundation of the country.

According to the Zhou Dynasty, the ceremony was solemn and very particular about etiquette, personnel and even the venue.

For example, at the beginning of the three dynasties and the court meetings in the past dynasties, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the Taizu, stipulated the use of Zhou rites in the three dynasties of the Ming Dynasty.

There are records of three dynasties and five gates.

First of all, the three dynasties are the Wai Dynasty, Zhi Dynasty and Yan Dynasty.

The "three dynasties" are the major dynasties, the regular dynasties and the Japanese dynasties, which are used to handle special government affairs, major government affairs or daily government affairs respectively.

The five gates are Gaomen, Zhimen, Kumen, Yingmen and Lumen.

The Forbidden City and the Five Gates of the Three Dynasties correspond to the Daming Gate, Donghua Gate, Duanmen, Meridian Gate and Taihe Gate, which were from the Ming Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, due to different uses, the Chang Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty was located at the Taihe Gate.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Chang Dynasty was moved to the Qianqing Gate starting from Kangxi.

In this way, from the Qing Dynasty, the location of the five gates started from the Donghua Gate. .

Then Duanmen, Meridian Gate, Taihe Gate and Qianqing Gate are worth noting that Donghua Gate was called by later generations.

Whether it is the Wai Dynasty, the Zhi Dynasty, or the Yan Dynasty, there are many rules about which door to enter.

There are strict standards for which door you exit from, and the identity and order of the people who enter.

It's not just that.

There are actually three parts of the Forbidden City, which are called the outer dynasties.

Within the Meridian Gate is the Zhichao, where the emperor held daily court meetings and processed memorials and petitions.

In addition, until the Qing Dynasty, the area within the Qianqing Gate was the Yan Dynasty, where the emperor and his concubines lived.

The main reason why Donghua Gate is favored by the world is that at that time it was mainly used for holding ceremonies and issuing decrees, and to pass the Jinshi examination, the emperor's announcement was posted outside.

Speaking of which, I have to talk about the "Three Dynasties".

After Qin Shihuang unified the country, according to Zou Yan's "Theory of the End and Beginning of the Five Virtues", he believed that Qin governed the water virtue, and according to the "Five Elements", the water element matched the tenth month of Hai and the eleventh month of Zi, so he issued an order to use October as the beginning of the year.

The "Dachao Meeting" is scheduled to be held on the first day of the first month of the new year, which is the first day of the first lunar month.

This is the origin of the Dachao.

The early Western Han Dynasty followed the Qin Dynasty's old calendar, with October as the beginning of the year.

At the beginning of the rise of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang and his ministers did not understand the court rituals, so they ordered Shu Suntong, an old official of the Qin Dynasty, to formulate the "Great Court Meeting" ceremony of the Han Dynasty by referring to Qin law.

The venue of the court meeting was at Changle Palace at first, and later changed to Weiyang Palace.

When the Changle Palace was built in the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, the "Great Court Meeting" held here was recorded in the Biography of Shusun Tong in the Historical Records.

During the court meeting, when the sky is dim, the ceremonial officer will introduce all the civil and military officials to enter the palace gate according to their rank.

The palace displays chariots and cavalry guards, as well as various flags and ceremonial objects.

When the ceremony officials heard about the "trend", all civil and military officials marched forward neatly and orderly, arranged in east-west and east-west classes.

Liu Bang was surrounded by the sounds of bells and drums.

Surrounded by chamberlains, he came to court in a chariot.

At this time, all the officials from the princes to the six hundred officials congratulated and contributed gifts.

After the ceremony, the wine is placed, and longevity is celebrated in order of honor and inferiority.

Until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed Zhengshuo.

With the first lunar month as the beginning of the year, the "Dachao Meeting" was accordingly changed to the first day of the first lunar month, and thereafter.

It was followed through the generations, after the Song Dynasty.

Each dynasty still followed the example of the previous dynasty in carrying out the "Great Court Meeting" ceremony.

All officials were arranged in court uniforms according to their rank.

The "Jinzou Officials" of various states who were renamed from "Chaoji Envoys" each held their own special objects and presented them.

In the Ming Dynasty, the "Great Court Meeting" had the Jin Yiwei displaying the ceremonial guards, the Jiaofang Department displaying the great music, and the Etiquette Department displaying documents, congratulations, and tributes from various countries.

There was also a ceremonial censor to inspect the officials and supervise those who stood.

People who like to doze off or whisper to each other for a long time.

When the time comes, the emperor ascends to his throne, drums and music play, and all the officials kneel down to congratulate him and perform rituals.

After the ceremony, the crowd shouted long live, long live.

Today is actually the final day of the Talent Recruitment Ceremony.

Although it is grand in scale, it is still not as good as the Great Chao Hui.

Its specifications are slightly lower than those of the Great Chao Hui, but it is higher than the regular meeting.

It is a special ceremony.

Because it is a Wen Dian, the etiquette is presided over by the Ministry of Etiquette, and the Jin Yiwei is responsible for the order.

As the saying goes, military attaches ride horses and civil servants ride in sedans.

As an official, Yang Ming has not yet been awarded an official title, but he still has an official status.

So Miaoyun had hired four bearers for him early, and the sedan chair was an ordinary four-carrying sedan chair.

Although it is grand, it is also good.

Only the huge Yang character woven with black thread at the door of the sedan is particularly eye-catching.

"Who made this?

Isn't it a bit too ostentatious?"

Yang Ming looked at the sedan.

He was quite satisfied with the sedan, but the word "Yang" was a bit too much.

Up to now, he was still a tribute.

What's more, it seemed a bit showy since he hadn't been awarded an official title yet, so he asked Miaoyin next to him.

Yang Ming actually doesn't understand anything about these things.

Although he is relatively familiar with some political affairs, he is really blind to these so-called rules.

Apart from being at the mercy of others, he relies more on these things.

I looked at it subjectively, so when I saw the sedan door, I undoubtedly felt a little guilty.

At this time, Xia Yuhe had already stood beside the sedan.

He smiled and said to Yang Ming: "Master, what are you talking about?

There is something wrong with this sedan.

It is a rule to embroider characters on the door of the sedan, and it is also for your convenience."

Seeing that Yang Ming didn't understand, she explained: "The embroidered characters on the front are to distinguish the ownership of the sedan.

For example, my surname is Yang, and the size of the sedan can distinguish your identity.

And secondly, the emperor is under the feet of the emperor."

There are many officials.

For example, when you went to the conferment ceremony today, all the officials gathered together.

When the next court comes, there are hundreds of sedans outside Donghua Gate.

Can you find which sedan is yours?

So the words embroidered on the front are not for show.

If you don't believe it, look at other officials when you go out.

Most of the characters on the sedan are like this, in red, green, and black."

Yang Ming nodded sheepishly.

He was indeed a novice.

He only had such a small sedan chair.

He didn't expect that he had so much knowledge.

He was really taught.

"Ahem" his face turned red, and Yang Ming got into the sedan chair under the gaze of the three women.

"Third brother, I'm sorry to bother you."

Just as he was about to get up from the sedan chair, Yang Sandao had already walked over wearing a brand new nursing uniform.

This was actually Xia Yuhe's explanation to the two women of Miao Yun's order.

When he saw Yang Sandao coming over The three women couldn't help but warn them again.

After all, this could be said to be Yang Ming's first day in officialdom.

It was a great day for him and everyone.

"Yes."

Yang Sandao nodded solemnly.

Now he is no longer as frivolous as he used to be.

Ever since he came back and learned that Yang Ming had become a prostitute, he has been calling himself Yang Ming's bodyguard, no matter it is His words, deeds, and demeanor have become much more stable.

He actually knows that he has come to the capital this time.

Not to mention anything else, just the birth of Yang Ming Yijia is much higher than other Jinshi, not to mention the ones next to him.

There was also Lu Qianbei explaining on the side.

As an old man in the capital, Lu Qianbei knew a lot of things, and he was very knowledgeable about them.

For example, those in the first class directly enter the Hanlin Academy to serve as officials, and there is no such thing as internship learning.

The number one scholar is awarded to Xiuzhuan, from the sixth grade.

The top two candidates were all awarded to the editors of the Hanlin Academy, with the rank of seventh rank.

Moreover, there are quotas for Shujishi.

Generally, according to the rules of Emperor Yongle, 28 are selected, including the number one.

Choose 25 out of the second, third and third grades and have to take an exam.

Later, some years were not selected strictly according to the number 28, each with its own special reasons.

Among them, after the internship of Shujishi, the outstanding ones will stay in the Hanlin.

Those who are particularly outstanding in the assessment will be edited.

The general ones will be reviewed.

It is not a written review, but an official title.

They must be promoted after the assessment period is over.

You see, the gap between the second-class and third-class players is widening the gap between the first-class players and the first-class players.

You must know that if the assessment is mediocre, it will take nine years to be promoted.

Add in the internship time, and you will still be unable to compare with the number one scholar in ten years.

Those who did not stay in the Hanlin Academy, like other Jinshi who did not enter the Hanlin Academy, went to various ministries to observe the government.

Anyway, there is no time limit for this political observation.

It doesn't mean that those who come out of Shujishi are taller than others.

Jinshi Observation of Government is an internship.

Those who are outstanding will be appointed after one and a half years.

After Jinshi Observation of Government, the best way out is to be assigned to the Sixth Subject to Shi Zhong, the Thirteenth Censor, and the Sixth Ministry Director if it is worse.

Some other departments are idle, and the other is to go to the capital to serve as a seventh-rank official, including county magistrates and county magistrates.

If you are a poor scholar, you will generally be incompetent if you reach the fifth rank in this life.

Yang Ming's situation is a bit special.

Although he was awarded the title of Jinshi, he was appointed as the county magistrate.

According to the above point of view, it is equivalent to being put on the back foot, but Yang Ming's ability is so good to everyone.

But we all know very well that as for the appearance Being a county magistrate is just a formality.

As long as he does a good job as a county magistrate, he will immediately rise to the top and be favored by the court.

Therefore, although he is just a small seventh-grade county magistrate, he is nothing compared to the number one scholar.

Poor, even beyond.

This shows that the big shots in the court and Jiajing's expectations for Yang Ming, and as long as Yang Sandao follows Yang Ming, as Yang Ming's status continues to rise, his status will naturally rise, especially for him and the other two.

Clan brothers say that they used to be He is a scoundrel that everyone hates.

They originally went to the capital to accompany Yang Ming to take the exam, although they also held the hope that Yang Ming would become an official.

But now that Yang Ming has truly become the top pick, they feel the joy and hope for the future.

It can be said that he is more enthusiastic than ever.

The most important thing is that Yang Ming won the third prize.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, all Jinshi have a holiday to go home to visit relatives.

This holiday lasts about two months.

As the so-called return home in glory is like this, then they s: Chapter 2 is presented:
