Chapter 126 Imperial Examination

The Qionglin Banquet is a banquet held for Xinke Scholars, which began in the Song Dynasty. "Qionglin" was originally a famous garden in the Song Dynasty. It was located in the west of Bianjing (now Kaifeng). Two years before Song Huizongzhenghe, Jinshi who had a banquet in Qionglin Garden would participate in the banquet, so it is collectively called "Qionglin Banquet". Later, it was changed to Wenxi Banquet, which was called Enrong Banquet in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and was held in Baohe Hall, one of the three main halls of the Forbidden City.

In terms of regulations, the Baohe Hall is one of the three great halls of the Qing Dynasty, far superior to the ancient "Qionglin" courtyard, and because the emperor may visit in person, it is even more extraordinary for the emperor's disciples.Naturally, because of its increasingly important political attributes, the Enrong Banquet has lost its function of banquet entertainment in essence, and is more of a political performance.After parading the streets, all kinds of Jinshi have to wear formal dresses and walk to the palace. First, they kowtow to the emperor's dragon chair in the Qianqing Palace, and then go to the Baohe Hall to thank the masters. Officials who were able to participate in the banquet, they had to thank them one by one, and it took more than an hour to thank them one by one, which was quite tiring to say the least.

This time the No. [-] pick Zhang Zhidong and Tanhua Zhao Liewen are both very young, so they are even more brilliant than the role models who are nearly forty years old.When all the officials are thanked by Jinshi one by one, they will secretly examine the words and deeds of these Jinshi to examine their political inclination and character quality, and then decide whether to win or suppress.

"The student thanked the teacher." After Zhang Zhidong toasted all the officials one by one, he toasted Jiao Youying again.Seeing this, Jiao Youying smiled slightly, raised his glass as a gesture, and took a sip, while Zhang Zhidong drank it all in one gulp.Seeing this, Bangyan and Zhao Liewen also got up, saluted and toasted again, Jiao Youying nodded, and sipped the wine again.

At this moment, Li Lianying walked in, he looked around, and then a dedicated disciple shouted loudly: "The emperor is here."

When everyone heard the words, they all stood up and knelt down to meet him.Zai Chun, dressed in blue auspicious clothes embroidered with dragons in tapestry, walked in from the main entrance of the Hall of Preserving Harmony, and walked to the dragon chair in the main hall.

"Pingshen." Zai Chun glanced at everyone present and said.

Zai Chun is only ten years old now, his voice is quite immature, and it falls on everyone's ears crisply, and many Jinshi who are old enough to be Grandpa Zai Chun don't know what it feels like, but they all said solemnly: "Thank you, Lord Long En. "

Everyone stood up, and then dared to glance at the top of the dragon chair with the corner of their eyes. During the palace examination that day, everyone had met Zai Chun, but few had the courage to face the holy face. It is also considered a chance to meet the master of the Qing Dynasty who will serve for the rest of his life in the future.

"Your majesty is really young, but he already holds real power, and he really has some knowledge." Many families are well-informed, knowing that Zai Chun, who is only ten years old now, has not formally taken charge of the government, but has a lot of experience in many court affairs. He has a very heavy right to speak, and everyone is a little curious at the moment what kind of talent this little emperor is.

Zai Chun didn't know what everyone was thinking, so he raised his hand and waved to Li Lianying.Li Lianying understood, holding a volume of imperial decree in her hand, she read aloud: "All Jinshi accept the decree." When everyone heard this, they knelt down again.

"By God's blessing, the emperor said. I hand-picked Jinshi, and all of them were given to the emperor's disciples. Zhang Zhidong, the number one scholar, was given to the Hanlin Academy for editing and writing and studying in the study room, and Qian Ying, the second best, was given to the Imperial Academy's editor and Economics Bureau to wash horses and explore flowers. Zhao Liewen bestowed the editorial editor of the Imperial Academy and the office of the prime minister to walk in the office of the prime minister. The rest of Jinshi will study in the Imperial Academy."

Entering Hanlin to study is the Shujishi system.The so-called shujishi means to be selected again from among the new subjects. After studying in the academy for three years, they will try again.But because he had studied in the Hanlin Academy, the world also regarded the Shuji who could not stay in the academy as the Hanlin Academy.Since then, "non-jinshi cannot enter Hanlin".Since the abolition of the prime minister in the Ming Dynasty, Chengzu set up a cabinet and a university scholar, which is similar to the prime minister.All bachelors come from Hanlin, "non-Hanlin will not join the cabinet".The Hanlin Academy became the cradle for cultivating senior civil officials and a place for cultivating high-level scholars.

However, the Qing Dynasty is somewhat different from the Ming Dynasty. The cabinet of the Qing Dynasty is actually a military aircraft department. Generally speaking, one can be admitted to the cabinet as an old man. Two conditions are required. Diange University Bachelors (Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Three Halls and Three Pavilions, Zhengyipin), so that they can be called as worshiping the Prime Minister in a veritable name.In today's Qing Dynasty, although there are ministers of military aircraft, there are actually no elders in the true sense, because although these ministers of military aircraft hold the power of military aircraft, they do not have the title of imperial scholar. Institutional powers are not fully grasped.

After Li Lianying announced the imperial decree, everyone quickly accepted the decree.Zai Chunfu said a few words of encouragement such as "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" and then left after sitting for a while.

So far, all Jinshi have all kinds of thoughts in their hearts.Now there is only one official of the first grade in the Qing Dynasty, and that is Taifu Jiao Youying, so it can be seen that the emperor attached great importance to this imperial examination.Especially for Yijia's special management, it can be seen his intention.

Going to the study room is from the fifth grade, and it is an official position very close to the emperor, so it can be seen that the emperor Zaichun took a fancy to Zhang Zhidong, the number one scholar; and Jiao Youying is the emperor's tutor and the seat of this imperial examination Master, the study room can be said to be Jiao Youying's main sphere of influence. In this way, the relationship between Zhang Zhidong and Jiao Youying is firmly bound together, and binding Jiao Youying is equivalent to binding Zai Chun. It can be seen that Zhang Zhidong If Dong didn't take the wrong path, he might be able to join the cabinet and pay homage to the prime minister in a few decades.

And Xima, the second place in the ranking, is a sixth-rank official. Although it is not low, anyone who knows the official system of the Qing Dynasty knows that this is an extremely difficult official position.The Department of Economics and Economics is responsible for the printing and collection of scriptures, classics, books, and official documents. It is similar to the modern national library, and it is generally honored and supported by senior officials; A role model in his 40s doesn't pay much attention.

Of course, the most worthy of scrutiny is Tanhua Zhao Liewen's visit to the Prime Minister's Office.Walking in the prime minister's office is not an official position, "walking, walking" is similar to what we call "studying" now.The general meaning is to ask Zhao Liewen to go to the prime minister's office to study and do odd jobs.Do you want to say that the emperor doesn't pay attention to it?The Prime Minister's Office is a well-known department under Prince Gong's management, and it has a bright future; what should the emperor value?And it's a bit hard to say, who doesn't know that there are many noble relatives in the Manchu Eight Banners in the Prime Minister's Office.Since Zhao Liewen went as a Han, he would have to be suppressed more, and the days to come must be very sad.

Zhao Liewen also thought of this point, when his face changed slightly, he looked at his teacher Jiao Youying. Seeing this, Jiao Youying smiled slightly with a deep expression, and no one could guess what the emperor teacher of the Qing Dynasty was thinking.
