In the Xuanzheng Hall, at the long-awaited imperial meeting, all the officials, neatly dressed, knelt down on the ground and bowed to Xiao Cheng who was sitting on the dragon chair. The sound of shouts of long live echoed in the Xuanzheng Hall.
"If there is something going on, go ahead, if there is nothing going on, retreat!" Feng Bao shouted in a long voice.
All the officials in the palace looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, and stood there without saying a word.
Everyone knows that in today's impromptu imperial gathering, he and others are the foils. The real protagonists are actually the group of new imperial examination scholars waiting outside the Xuanzheng Hall.
Sure enough, among the hundreds of officials in the queue, Zhang Zhao held the memorial in his hand, walked out quickly, and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, Zhang Zhao, has a plan to report!"
Xiao Cheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was covered by the curtains, and the upper half of his face could not be seen clearly. All he could see was his lips moving slightly, and a majestic voice sounded in the Xuanzheng Hall:
"allow!"
Zhang Zhaoxuan handed over the memorial in his hand and said loudly:
"My minister Zhang Zhao was ordered to preside over the imperial examination. Today, everything has been completed. The admission list has been published. I will report to Your Majesty! There are twenty-seven scholars from the Xiucai Department and forty-four scholars from the Mingfa Department...
The total number of people in various disciplines is 249."
At this time, Wen Tiren took advantage of the opportunity and hurriedly got out of the queue. He knelt down and said loudly:
"The talents of today are at your Majesty's disposal. I would like to congratulate Your Majesty and congratulate the country and the country of Yun!"
All the officials in the palace looked at Wen Tiren, who was trying every possible means to find an opportunity to please Xiao Cheng, with disdain and disdain in their eyes.
It is really insulting to be an official in the same court as a flatterer!
Then all the officials raised their heads and looked at Xiao Cheng. Their expressions of disdain disappeared instantly, revealing expressions of admiration and reverence. One by one, they knelt on the ground and bowed, and shouted in unison:
"My congratulations to Your Majesty and the country of Yun!"
Well, when you are an official, you don’t shiver at flattery...
Xiao Cheng nodded and said:
"Everyone, please get up... and announce the scholars who have passed the imperial examination so that I can have a good meeting with all the officials!"
Feng Bao, who was on the side, immediately stepped forward and shouted:
"Xuan Ke Examination Scholars Appear before You!"
Immediately, there were imperial guards in charge of etiquette outside the palace, loudly echoing and singing:
"Xuan Ke Examination Scholars Appear before You!"
The majestic and loud voice echoed in the palace.
The palace door of Xuanzheng Palace slowly opened, and light poured into the palace. The sound of powerful rituals and music immediately sounded, making people feel excited.
When all the officials in the palace felt such a big movement, their hearts moved, and they all turned around and looked outside the palace.
I saw a group of civil servants uniformly wearing blue robes and short-winged black gauze hats, slowly entering the Xuanzheng Hall under the leadership of Li Cao officials.
The solemn ritual music was played, and hundreds of officials from the court greeted him. He entered this place, the center of the country's political orders, and was received by the emperor of the dynasty. From then on, he embarked on an official career and realized his ideals and ambitions.
This scene in front of me is something that many low-level scholars never dared to think about before!
A group of imperial examination scholars, either with high ambitions or holding back their excitement, came to the hall under the leadership of the Li Cao officials, knelt down on the ground together, and shouted with sincerity:
"See Your Majesty!"
Xiao Cheng looked at the imperial examination scholars in the hall, curved his lips, and laughed:
"Today, all the talented people in the world have come to my rescue!"
To say this is actually a bit exaggerated.
This first imperial examination was held poorly due to various reasons. Apart from Hai Rui, Yan Song, and Shi Chengwen, from the golden finger panel, there were very few candidates whose attributes could exceed 70.
However, among all the countries in the world, only Yun State has the imperial examination system. Regardless of one's origin, one can become an official based only on his talent and learning. This system has a strong appeal to the scholars of the world.
It can be foreseen that if the imperial examination is held again in the future, it will inevitably attract talented scholars to take the examination.
In other countries, even if the monarchs are talented and have great strategies, if they can see the superiority of the imperial examination system and want to copy it, there will definitely be people with vested interests in the country who will stop them.
It would take at least two or three years of quarreling with the courts of various countries before there would be any results. Xiao Cheng was unwilling to waste time on this kind of thing, so he made many plans and used various means to clean up the courts.
Read it again.
But now, the imperial examination system has finally been implemented.
From now on, these scholars who came from the imperial examination and were promoted by Xiao Cheng, who are sincerely convinced and grateful to him, will be the foundation for Xiao Cheng to stabilize his imperial power and control the court!
Xiao Cheng raised his hand slightly, and Feng Bao on the side immediately stepped forward, showed the imperial edict in his hand, and read loudly:
"By God's blessing, Emperor Dayun issued an edict:
From now on, at the age of each scholar, each scholar will be given a Jinshi background, a Jinshi uniform, and will be admitted to the Chancellor's Desk. During the sixth month of the Cao Guanzheng period, he will be awarded an official position in the court based on his performance during the period of Guanzheng. I admire this!"
This time, the rules were established.
Different from the imperial examination system in the original world, Xiao Cheng did not use the rankings in this palace examination to distinguish between first, second, third and third place, Jinshi and Jinshi.
It's just that each subject has a leader and a leader, that's all.
After all, like in Xiao Cheng's original world, it's really not good to be a first-class or second-class scholar in order to become a prime minister. An exam cannot be a measure to determine whether a person can reach a high position in the future.
A group of scholars, ah, it’s time to call them Jinshi. After hearing what Xiao Cheng said, they bowed again and said in unison:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Xiao Cheng raised his head slightly and said loudly:
"I am very happy to have gained the pillars of the country, and want to share this happy event with the people! Pass on my will, open the Zhengyang Gate, and be escorted by the imperial army. I invite you Jinshi to ride on the horse and parade through the streets, so that the people can boast!"
Zhengyang Gate is the main entrance of the palace. For the most majestic court of a country, Zhengyang Gate obviously has an unusual significance. Usually, it is not the emperor's visit to this gate in person, or the ceremonial matters of worshiping heaven and ancestors.
It cannot be opened easily.
Among the scholars, those who knew the reason felt that they were being taken seriously. Even the lower-level scholars who did not know the key could not help but show joy and excitement on their faces at this time.
Everyone has a heart to show off. Now these scholars jumped over the dragon gate and heard that His Majesty asked the Imperial Guard to escort them to parade in the city and be praised and praised by the people. Naturally, they were also happy!
All the Jinshi bowed again and said loudly:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At Xiao Cheng's signal, a group of Jinshi first changed into special red Jinshi uniforms. Then, under the escort of the imperial guards, they walked out from the Zhengyang Gate of the palace and paraded through the streets with their heads held high.
Countless people in the city heard the commotion and gathered on the street. Looking at the high-spirited Jinshi, they couldn't help but shout. Many people followed the practice of the Yun Kingdom and found flowers from everywhere and threw them at the Jinshi.
Ordinary people with children pointed at the Jinshi scholars who were parading on horses and taught their children to study hard. The young girls gathered in twos and threes and looked at the Jinshi scholars shyly. The people dressed as scholars showed envy on their faces and felt in their hearts.
I have secretly made up my mind to take the imperial examination next year.
Suddenly, the whole city was watching. A group of Jinshi were on horseback, looking around, becoming more and more satisfied and high-spirited.
The spring breeze is proud of the horse's hooves, that's it!
