Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 556
After the palace examination, the rankings are not announced immediately. After all, there are more than 300 candidates' papers to read, and the rankings always cause some controversy. How can it be done on the spot?

Therefore, after the candidates have finished the exam, they have already left the field from the east corner gate in order under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, left the palace and returned to the apartment to wait for news.The examiners have to get busy, and basically finish the reading within two or three days, and then select the top ten or so good papers and present them to the emperor for review-the emperor will not read all the more than 300 papers.

The grade of the examiners is higher than that of the examiners of the general examination, and their status is also more prominent, especially after the middle period of orthodoxy, this item has become a practice.For example, in this year's Gengchen Chunwei, the chief examiner Shen Shixing only ranked third in the cabinet, while the examiner of the palace examination was the chief assistant Guo Pu himself, leading the five cabinet elders, Zuodu Yushi, six ministers, academicians of the Imperial Academy, and servants. All the dignitaries in Beijing, such as the bachelor's degree holder, the lecturer's bachelor's degree attendant, and the general administration secretary and general administration envoy, all went to battle, and none of them served as the examiner at the same time.

In addition, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites served as the chief transfer officer, and two well-known supervisory censors served as supervisors for examination. Officials from Lusi Temple, Honglu Temple, Shangbaosi and six departments.

Of course, it is impossible to mark the test papers in the Zhongji Hall, but the test papers will be transferred to the East Pavilion by the examiner in charge, where the examiners will perform the marking.

At this time, there is one more thing to say, that is, during the imperial examination, someone will record the appearance and appearance of the candidates in advance, so as to prevent the top ten or top dozens of tribute students selected by the examiner from appearing "horrible" looks.

But these things have nothing to do with Gao Yushi now. His guess before the exam was very accurate. Zhu Yijun could read his handwriting at a glance, and then he could be sure of his paper by looking at the writing at will.But to be honest, he didn't expect Zhu Yijun to be excited for a while, and even directly selected him as the number one scholar without reading the other test papers provided by the examiners, and even caused some disturbances.

At the same time, the palace examination also stipulated that before the announcement of the gold list, the officials who read the papers could not return to the court and could only stay in the Ministry of Rites.

Well, so if there was a big explosion in the Ministry of Rites in the past two nights, the entire Ming court would be paralyzed. Except for the emperor himself, all senior officials of the court would probably have to sacrifice their lives.

Gao Yushi waited for the candidates to leave the palace, first they greeted each other and congratulated each other, and then they met for a banquet. It is boring to talk about eating and drinking every day, but this is a necessary entertainment. The relationship is getting closer, anyway, the court will pay for it.

The next day, the examiners read the papers from the Ministry of Rites to the East Pavilion. After reading the papers, they mark the papers with prescribed symbols for grading, and then read other people’s papers in turn. Because each table takes turns to read each other, this procedure is also called Turn the table.

The final general review is performed by the chief examiner, that is, Guo Pu himself counts the marks given by the examiners, and other people participate in the comments. However, this "other people" currently only has four members of the cabinet. The old man is qualified.

Generally speaking, more than half of the top-ranking examiners must give first-class or second-class marks; if the majority of fourth- and fifth-class marks are on the papers, they must usually be listed in the top three, unless the chief examiner personally likes it and forcibly promotes it .

After reading the examination papers and distinguishing the strategies and theories from superior to inferior, and ranking first, second, and third, on the second day after the examination, all the examiners kowtowed and knelt in front of the emperor. The first three test papers are read in order.After listening and reading, the emperor drew a pen to personally decide the order of first and third.

But this time is an exception, because No.1 was decided in advance, so Guo Pu and other five bachelors just went in and sent two people's strategy questions.As expected, the emperor did not change the position of No.1, and he arranged the order of the other two and it was over.

At this time, the examiners kowtowed their heads to thank each other, Zhu Yijun then gave a banquet, and after the banquet, each rewarded a certain amount of silver--this "amount" is really hard to say, and one person is only about ten taels and twenty taels. Kowtow to thank you with a grateful face.

On the third day, Gao Wushi and other Chinese-style Jinshi put on the Jinshi coats they rushed to the Imperial College to collect yesterday, and went to the palace again to read the list.

The Jinshi uniforms are bright red, but they have no patches, and they all changed into them on this day, more than 300 people are neat and brand new, which is quite a spectacle.According to the instructions of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they lined up successively and stood facing north.

If you can look down from the sky at this time, you will be able to see a stretch of red and gold in the gray buildings, which is completely different from other places.

If you can lower your sight a bit, you will find that it is a deep red palace wall and golden glazed tiles.This huge, orderly, majestic, and magnificent building complex is completely distinguished from its surroundings. Its name symbolizes the supreme imperial power: the Forbidden City.

Accompanied by the sound of the solemn Jingyang bell, the three main gates of the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City and the two tuck gates that open from east to west slowly opened at the same time.Two teams of big Han generals wearing golden flying fish suits and holding one-foot-long painted halberds stepped out from the four openings except the middle gate, and stood beside the five avenues paved with white marble.

Most of the Xinke Scholars are immersed in the shock of coming to the Forbidden City again, and they can't help it-the last time was an exam after all, this time the exam is over, and the feeling is even deeper.The main gate of the Forbidden City in front of them is located in the southern section of the central axis of the capital. The north is called "Zi" and the south is called "Wu". Therefore, the gate in front of them is called the Meridian Gate!Its east, west, and north sides are connected by city platforms, encircling a square square.Surrounded by three mountains, five peaks protrude, and the momentum is extremely majestic.

The three door openings on the front are extremely high and wide, and the middle one is as high as eleven feet, which is amazing.This doorway is the special door for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty to enter and exit the Forbidden Palace. Anyone who trespasses will die!

However, there are two exceptions. One is that the queen can enter once when she is married;

In other words, among the more than 300 new Jinshi who are wearing the same Jinshi scarves and uniforms today, three of them will leave the palace in a short while and enjoy the highest honor in the life of scholars in the world.No one can refuse this temptation.

After the deacons finished their salutes in Zhongji Hall, the officials of Honglu Temple invited the emperor to ascend to the hall.There was a masterpiece of music at one time, and the driver led the tour. Zhu Yijun, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was wearing a leather uniform, and the Jinyi guards were displaying guards of honor. Set the yellow list.Civil and military officials each wear court service classes.

So the emperor went to the Zhongji Hall to ascend his seat, and he stopped happily.The preface class presented the case and praised it in the hall.Raise people to pay respects four times, the officials who pass the system kneel and play the system, raise people to stand up, go out from the east gate to the east of Danbi, and stand facing west.

At this time, the deacon held the gold list to Danbi Yudao and put it down, loudly said: "There is a system!"

Both Zanli and Chinese-style Jinshi knelt down to listen to the reading.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the system said: On March 1th, the seventh year of Gengchen in Wanli, the examination of the world's tributes will be held. The first No. [-] will be awarded the Jinshi and the second; the second will be awarded the Jinshi's background; the third will be awarded with the same Jinshi's background... …

First Class No.1 Henan Xinzheng is highly pragmatic;

First Class No.2 Huguang Hanyang Xiao Liangyou;
First Class No.3 written by Wang Ting, Huazhou, Shaanxi;
No.1 Dong Sicheng, Wucheng, Zhejiang Province;

Second A No.2 Yingtian Wuxi Gu Xiancheng;
……

Second A No.4 Zhang Taizheng in Puzhou, Shanxi;
……

No. 13 of the second class is Zhang Jingxiu from Jingzhou, Huguang;

……

The second and sixth place is Huguang Hanyang Xiao Liangyu;
……

Zhang Maoxiu, the second and eighth place in Jingzhou, Huguang;
……

The 130th and [-]th place in the third class, Wang Tingyu of Huazhou, Shaanxi..."

After the preface sang, Gao Yushi, who was already standing at the head of Dan Bi, was led to kneel before leaving the class. Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan also came out alone, but they could only kneel behind Gao Yushi.

This is the so-called number one scholar who "takes the top spot"!
