Shen Yi's original plan was to follow Uncle Zhao's path and see if he could get into the Di Newspaper Division. If he couldn't get into the Di Newspaper Division, he could stay in Jiankang and become a capital official.
But now, Shen has taken a higher and wider path, so Zhao Changping no longer needs to contribute in this matter.
He thought about the wording in his mind, then coughed at Zhao Changping and said: "Uncle, my nephew has communicated with the palace a few days ago. The palace wants me to help organize the palace newspaper, and has already agreed.
My nephew asked me, so my uncle doesn’t need to work hard on this matter."
Zhao Changping glanced at Shen Yi in surprise, and said thoughtfully: "Zi Heng met people in the palace a few days ago?"
Shen Yi nodded.
Zhao Changping asked again: "Before the results are released in the spring?"
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows and said: "The palace agreed, saying that if my nephew can become a Jinshi, he can take charge of the Di Bao Division."
"Eunuchs who are castrated and erect cannot be trusted."
Zhao Changping snorted in a somewhat disdainful tone: "Just listen to what they say. Don't believe it. Don't think about anything else during this period. Spend more time preparing for the imperial examination and thinking about what questions His Majesty will ask for the imperial examination."
Try to be among the top 100 when the time comes, so that you can be sure of being a second-class Jinshi."
Maybe he felt that the conditions he gave were a bit harsh. After all, it only took a few days from the release of the results of the general examination to the palace examination. Moreover, the opponents were all the elites among the national candidates, so it was unrealistic to improve too many rankings.
So, Zhao Shilang went on to say: "If you fall into the top three, don't be discouraged. When the time comes, my uncle will personally go to the official department to help you. He will definitely provide you with a big and fat county, or provide you with a promotion official."
errand."
According to the system of Chen State, the first-class, second-class, and third-class people have different treatment. Needless to say, the top three of the first-class class basically all enter the Hanlin Academy as noble officials, and the top two class-class officials can also join them.
Hanlin Academy. Others will be assigned the title of Guanzheng and study in various yamen of the imperial court. After studying for six months to three years, they will be assigned by the Ministry of Civil Affairs according to their vacancies.
Generally, the second-level Jinshi is in charge in Beijing, and when sent abroad, he is the prefect and prefect.
The top three Jinshi will be a head shorter. In Beijing, they are from Zhongshushe. Those who are Doctors from Taichang Temple are from the seventh rank. When they go abroad, they are promoted to officials or county magistrates.
The so-called push official refers to the left official of the prefect, which is equivalent to the deputy prefect.
Of course, rules are just rules.
It has been more than a hundred years since the imperial dynasty. Even after crossing to the south, sixty years have passed. In the past sixty years, there have been twenty scientific examinations, plus the officials who came from the south and the officials who were favored by the imperial court.
The positions were already fully filled. Generally, a second-class Jinshi could fill a slightly better county magistrate within a year, so he gritted his teeth and went.
If it doesn't matter, and you still have to wait for an errand from the magistrate, I'm afraid you should be ready to retire in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Of course, the status of local officials is far inferior to that of officials in the capital. Therefore, if the Jinshi masters can stay in the capital, they will definitely stay in the capital. If some second-class Jinshi are sure to be released, they will lie in bed and pretend to be sick. They will not live or die.
willing to leave.
And Shen Yi has already found a way for himself.
With Zhao Changping being such a powerful person, if he does not join the imperial court, but takes the normal route to fill the vacancy, as long as he is a second-class Jinshi, Zhao Changping might really be able to get him a job as a magistrate.
Of course, even if a newly promoted Jinshi master is sent to be a magistrate, he will most likely be in a remote state capital. For a magistrate in a major city in the capital like Jiangdu, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have the ability. Don't even think about it.
In any case, Zhao Shilang is still very good to Shen Yi.
Shen hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak clearly to the humanoid in front of him.
He said slowly: "Uncle, the person in the palace who is talking to my nephew is none other than Eunuch Gao."
After hearing these words, Zhao Shilang was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
He glanced at Shen Yi silently and suddenly smiled: "In that case, I won't ask any more questions."
Shen Yi came to Zhao's house today simply because he passed the examination. According to the rules, he came to say hello to the elder Zhao Changping. However, the two of them had a good relationship now, so they chatted in the study for a while until the sky completely darkened. Shen Yi then
Say goodbye and leave.
Minister Zhao did not keep him, but asked Zhao Jizhou to send Shen Yi home.
After leaving Zhao's house, Zhao Er felt a lot more relaxed. He led Shen Yi on the street. When he almost reached Shen Yi's door, Zhao Er looked around, then smiled and said: "Zi Heng is really amazing. The provincial examination.
The general examinations are all passed in one test, and now that Zi Heng has basically won the Jinshi title, we brothers are going to have a drink to celebrate?"
Shen Yi glanced at Zhao Er and felt helpless: "Second brother, most of the shops that are open right now are on both sides of the Qinhuai River?"
Zhao Er chuckled and said, "Zi Heng, you will be on the gold medal list soon. You have studied hard for so many years, and now that all the hard work has been rewarded, can't you relax and enjoy yourself?"
"The imperial examination will be held in a few days."
Shen Yi breathed out softly and said, "Second brother, I have to recuperate enough energy these days and cannot embarrass myself in front of His Majesty."
The palace examination results are released immediately next to the general examination.
According to the process of previous years, after the exam results are released on April 15th, on April 18th or 19th, the court will call the newly promoted tributes to the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a re-examination to see if anyone cheated and passed the exam.
, followed by April 21st, the palace examination was also officially held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The questions for the imperial examination were given by the emperor himself.
In fact, at this moment, Shen Yi had the idea of finding the emperor's back door. After all, he, Mr. Shen, also wanted to be known as the top three. Even if he couldn't get the top pick, it would be great to get the third top pick.
However, after much thought, Shen Yi gave up the idea.
In previous years, the number of tributes and scholars was usually more than 300, and the maximum number was even 350, but this year there were only over 200.
It can be seen that the imperial court is very strict about this scientific examination, or it attaches great importance to this scientific examination. If Shen Yi went to the emperor through the back door, it would be no different from going to the principal's office to ask the principal for answers during the examination.
Since you can't cheat, you have to bite the bullet.
Zhao Jizhou chuckled: "Since Ziheng wants to recharge his batteries, I won't force you as my brother. I'm going to drink near the Qinhuai River tonight, and I won't go back tonight. If one day my parents at home
If I ask about this matter, Ziheng, you have to bear witness for me."
Although Zhao Er is a bit bohemian, he also has one advantage, that is, he is very afraid of his parents.
Or he is very filial to his parents.
Shen Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, if my uncle and aunt ask about it, I will tell them that my second brother is sleeping at my house today."
Zhao Jizhou was overjoyed.
“That’s the best thing to say!”
He rolled his eyes, then patted Shen Yi's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "How about this, Qi Lang, if my parents ask about it, just say that I am happy for you, drink at your house, and sleep at your house."
Three days!”
Mr. Shen was a little helpless.
"Second brother, you have to pay attention to your health."
Zhao Er laughed and strode towards the Qinhuai River.
"Don't worry Ziheng, my brother is in very good health and is well-known in Qinhuai River!"
When he said the first few words, he was still not far in front of Shen Yi. When he said "very famous", his voice was far away and he was obviously far away.
Shen Yi looked at Zhao Jizhou's handsome back and felt envious in his heart.
This is the benefit of precise reincarnation.
Unlike Mr. Shen, who has studied hard for so long and still hasn't gotten out of the problem book, he is really a bit of a failure.
But soon...
Shen Yi raised his head and looked at the sky. It was late at night on April 16th, and April 17th was not far away.
In other words, Shen Yi will go to the palace for a re-examination in two days, and the palace examination will officially begin in four days.
After passing the imperial examination, you can throw away the question book and start studying hard.
Shen Yi thought as he knocked on his courtyard door.
"Qing'er Ping'er, I'm back, come and open the door!"
