back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 651
After the wanton carnival, it is necessary to adjust the state.After all, three days after the release of the list, it was time for Chuan Lu to roll his name.

To really step into the officialdom actually starts with Chuan Lu's roll call, which also means that you have formally stepped into this circle.The circle is very strange, especially the circle in the official circle. In addition to obtaining fame, you also need to integrate into it to be considered a member of the circle.To put it bluntly, it is to ask other officials to recognize you.If you are blindly studying and do not understand the world, it will be difficult to integrate into it.Of course, the premise is that you have to have fame, and you have to have an "officially recognized" status.

Lu Chengqi hated these formalities, but this was the best time to buy people's hearts, let all Jinshi become "students of the Son of Heaven", and consolidate his rule, so Lu Chengqi still held back his disgust and obediently gathered all the officials in the Jiyingdian.

In fact, Chuanlu, that is, roll call, also known as "Zuodian Lei", the real purpose is to show the emperor's grace and give all Jinshi supreme glory. "Students of the Son of Heaven", not everyone can do it.

As for the Jinshi participating in the roll call, they also need to go to the Ministry of Rites to ask for a number.The Ministry of Rites will reissue the examination number returned from the last palace examination to them, but unlike the previous palace examination, the number paper will be stamped with a red seal, which says "Entry into the Jiying Palace Examination Completed".Those who have been deposed also need to ask for a number, and the number paper says "go to the Ministry of Officials for a test with ten-rank officials."As a result, the fate of the scholars who passed the palace examination and those who were dismissed was very different.

On the day of the roll call, the Xinke Jinshi entered the palace through the Hening Gate, and several imperial guards were in charge of collecting the number papers.After entering the palace, the scholar was introduced by the praiser to the court, and had an audience with Lu Chengqi.During the roll call, Xu Chongguang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, put the top three papers of the imperial examination in front of the imperial case for Lu Chengqi to read.It's just that Lu Chengqi had read it a long time ago, pretended to glance at it a few more times, and then nodded to Xu Chongguang.

It turned out that this errand should be done by Zaifu.Since the little emperor took power, he abolished the prime minister and set up a cabinet, and this task fell to the chief minister of the cabinet.This also reflects that the chief minister of the cabinet is the current prime minister, but the prime minister's power has been greatly weakened.I saw Xu Chongguang standing in front of the imperial case, and Bumen stood to the west of the imperial case.After Xu Chongguang checked the names of the scholars before the imperial case, he shouted "Zhang Zai, Fengxiang Mei County", and Bumen then shouted "Zhang Zai, Fengxiang Mei County", which spread all the way to the imperial guards below the steps, and six or seven people joined together again. Shout "Zhang Zai, Fengxiang Mei County", after three or four times, Zhang Zai responded.Seeing someone coming out, the two imperial guards stepped forward immediately, asked about his name, birthplace and father's name, and then sent Zhang Zai to the court from left to right, and bowed to Yuchi without paying homage.On behalf of Lu Chengqi, Gao Hao asked Zhang Zaixiang about his father's name, and the imperial guards answered him.After checking that the names and characters are correct, the scholars will stand in line according to the assigned first rank.After Yijia's roll call was over, he went to the corners of the two corridors to take imperial yellows and sent them to the scholars respectively.The so-called imperial edict refers to two pieces of jute paper glued together, on which are written the names, places of origin, ranks, etc. of the scholars... After the first-class Jinshi gathered their names, they began to thank them, bowed and bowed before retreating, and stood in front of their respective A-lists. first queue.

This queue is divided into three shifts. The first shift is No.1 who is alone for a class of Shane, without waiting for others. No.2 and No.3 are in one class, No.4 to No.10 are in one class, and second-class and full-class are in one class.After thanking you, you must stand with the imperial edict in hand, waiting for the bestowal.

As I said before, No. 1 in the palace examination will be awarded the first prize, No. 2 will be second, and No. 3 will be the third.For those with less than three candidates, the first Jia candidate is granted a Jinshi degree, the second Jia candidate is awarded a Jinshi background, the third Jia candidate is awarded a same Jinshi background, and the fourth Jia candidate is awarded a classmate study background.

After giving the title, there was originally a ritual to write a poem to the emperor to express gratitude.Lu Chengqi felt that these poems were flattering, and he didn't want to listen to them, so he canceled them, and directly gave a royal banquet to treat the three chiefs, as a show of respect.Other Jinshi will give three kinds of food: two red burnt meat pies, two vegetarian cakes, and a bowl of mutton rice or mutton soup.

After the end of the roll call, the Jinshi robe and wat will be given.The robes and wats are placed under the two south verandahs outside the hall. After wearing it, it means that you have become a "student of the emperor" and have embarked on an official career since then.In order to put on the official robe earlier, we still need to fight.Before he could take off the white cloak on his body, he directly put the green robe on his body.

Dashun was not a stingy imperial court, and the robes and wats bestowed by him were also good: a light yellow silk shirt with a collar, a light yellow silk belt, a green Luo official uniform with a collar, a court wat, and a pair of official boots.

These things are all carefully made by the generals in the palace, and they are extremely valuable. In this way, it shows Lu Chengqi's kindness to the scholars, and it is a means to win people's hearts.Since then, these scholars who have obtained ranks have been included in the sect of the Son of Heaven and become Lu Chengqi's "subordinates" to be driven around.

After receiving the robes and eating, the most exciting time came—the awarding of officials!
According to the Dashun etiquette system, the number one scholar is generally a Chengshilang who is awarded the eighth rank, but Zhang Zai has already had an official status before, and this is the only one.Lu Chengqi just asked Zhang Zai: "Would you like to accept the post of Secretary and Provincial Editor?"

Fortunately, Zhang Zai was also a man of etiquette, so he immediately replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

In this way, Zhang Zai's official position is the editor of the secretary province, and the rank official (Jilu officer) is Cheng Shilang.Then, Su Zhe, the second place in the list, was awarded the eighth-rank Chengfenglang and Fengxiang County general judge; Tanhua Zenggong was awarded the eighth-rank Chengwulang and Hezhong Prefecture general judge.Then the remaining seven people, who are awarded the ninth rank of scholars, will report to the Ministry of Officials to see if there are any real vacancies.If there is, add a commissioning officer, if not, then the Jilu officer will do it first, and remember to go to the Imperial Academy every day to get an appointment.The rest of the people below the second-level class will all go to the Ministry of Officials and be assigned to various places as tenth-rank officials.These scholars have long understood the new system of appointing officials, and there is no dispute.

After the conferment of officials, these new Jinshi thanked each other, and they were led out from Donghua Gate by the servants.

It took a whole morning to pass on the roll call and give the first place, and Lu Chengqi felt very boring.But seeing so many talents under his command, he was still very satisfied.Perhaps reborn people have a celebrity complex, especially after becoming an emperor, they can't wait to have all the celebrities as younger brothers for their own drive.Firstly, the reason why these celebrities left their names in history must have their own merits.There are so many mediocre officials in Dashun, but they have no real ability to do anything. One more is not too many, and one less is not too many.If these people were given a stage, they might make a bigger career.What Dashun needs most now is not loyal ministers, let alone mediocre ministers, but capable ministers.Of course, capable ministers can't take bribes, otherwise they will end up in the same end.

After these Xinke Jinshi left Donghua Gate, they were about to swim across the street.The top three will be Lu Chengqi who rides on a horse bestowed by him, and the rest of the Shinke Scholars either have their own chariots or horses, or they will ride in a friend's chariot. Anyway, they all form a group, come out from Donghua Gate, and travel across Chang'an to show their glory.When others saw it, they were all envious.Of course, there are also those who are envious and jealous: "Hmph, what's the air, aren't there just hundreds of petty officials?"

"That's it!"
