Chapter 646 Wang Lidong spat on the ground, 'Bah!'
The princes from the Chongzheng Palace Gate relayed the message loudly to the guards below, and the six guards shouted in unison:
"The first place in the first class, Kaifeng Qiheng!"
"The first place in the first class, Kaifeng Qiheng!"
"The first place in the first class, Kaifeng Qiheng!"
The words were like thunder, spreading throughout the square.
Chen Mancang looked shocked and thought he heard it wrong. After hearing it for the second time, he grabbed Wang Lidong and shouted loudly, "Brother Qi! You are the number one scholar! You are the number one scholar!"
The nearby tributes all turned their heads and focused their attention on Wang Lidong.
Σ(°△°|||)︴
He was so excited. For those who didn't know, he thought it was you who won the top prize. Wang Lidong opened the fat man's paws and smiled calmly, "Okay, I got it. You're just the top pick. There's no need to make a fuss."
Chen Mancang was furious.
If the two of them weren't very familiar with each other, he would have given me a middle finger right now! No, two!
This is number one!
Only one comes out in three years!
The promotion of officials starts from the sixth rank. Many officials may not reach such a high official position in their lifetime, and promotion is as simple as eating and drinking. As long as no big mistakes are made, there should be no problem with being a second-rank official before retirement.
"It's a pity that Brother Qi is already engaged, otherwise... His Majesty will recruit you as your consort." Chen Mancang looked regretful.
I'm sick of Princess Caishang... But this guy is a businessman, so it's normal to have this idea.
Immediately, Wang Lidong came out of the queue and bowed in the direction of the main hall.
"The second place in the first class is Wang Junmin from Laizhou."
"Third place in First Class A, Suizhou Chen Mu."
More than 300 tribute soldiers looked at the three people who came out, their eyes full of envy and jealousy. The names of the three people, the names of three generations of their ancestors, could be heard by the saints. They were shouted loudly by the palace guards and echoed around the beams in the palace. The lingering sound
Never give up, there will be no regrets in this life!
The three of them came to the front of the palace together. After the guards checked their names, place of origin, father's name and other information, they received the imperial edict from Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang.
The so-called imperial edict is an imperial edict issued by the imperial court to a Jinshi who has been awarded the title of Jinshi. It says "So-and-so bestows the title of Jinshi (Jinshi origin, same as Jinshi origin)". The signature is signed by the prime minister, who is informed of political affairs, and is signed by the government. It is an official document of the imperial court.
Therefore, it is named Chihuang, also known as Huangdi, which is equivalent to the current appointment notice for public servants. Only those who hold the Chihuang as a Jinshi can go through the registration procedures and be awarded an official position by the Ministry of Personnel.
A loud shout came from the hall: "Those who pass the rank of Jinshi will be given Jinshi robes and wats."
Under the leadership of the guards, Wang Lidong and the others came to the side hall, put on Jinshi suits, green robes, yellow shirts, and black winged hats, put on belts, held attendance boards, and followed the internal officials into the main hall.
"Master Qi, your son is the top scholar in high school, congratulations." The deputy envoy of the Third Division said to Qi Guozheng.
Qi's father's head was dizzy. The surprise came so suddenly. He didn't even expect that his son would become a Jinshi and the top pick in high school. He grinned and said, "Same joy!"
"Master Qi, when we have a banquet and wine to celebrate, don't forget Liu."
"sure..."
"Sheng Shanda, congratulations! You really have found a good son-in-law." Li Shilang from the Ministry of Industry complimented Sheng Hong behind him.
"Where." Sheng Hong smiled and said a few words modestly, thinking that it would be better if he was replaced by Chang Bai.
A group of three people shouted long live to the old emperor and kowtowed in thanks.
As usual, the old emperor asked the three people about their parents, brothers and sisters and other family situations and some trivial matters, and then asked the chamberlain to bring them royal wine and palace flowers.
The three of them drank three bowls of rice wine, then put big red peonies on their official hats.
The ceremony is over.
According to the process of the imperial court, the next step is to conduct the imperial court, number one, number two, wearing red and colorful decorations, golden gongs to clear the way, umbrellas and ceremonial guards, and horse riding and parade.
Wang Lidong bowed to the emperor and said, "The student has something unclear and would like to ask your Majesty for advice."
The old emperor was a little curious and said, "Oh, what's wrong with Yuan Ruo?"
Wang Lidong said: "The examiner for this palace examination is Your Majesty?"
Although he felt that the question was a bit childish, the old emperor patiently replied, "Not bad."
Wang Lidong asked, "Then all the Jinshi named on the golden list this time are considered disciples of the emperor?"
The old emperor nodded, "Of course."
Wang Lidong took out a "disciple letter" from his sleeve, kowtowed to the old emperor, "Disciple Qi Heng, pay homage to my mentor."
The old emperor was so shocked that he couldn't help but say two words, 'Fuck!'
Before the Song Dynasty, there were only two levels of imperial examinations: the provincial examination and the joint examination. There was an unwritten rule that those who achieved fame in the provincial examination and the joint examination regarded the examiner as their "student" and called themselves disciples.
In the late Tang Dynasty, fierce party disputes occurred in the imperial court that lasted for decades, which had a lot to do with the examiners' use of the imperial examination system to cultivate private power.
In the Tang Dynasty, the examiners were regarded as their mentors by all the Jinshi scholars, so "the favor was given privately, and no one knew it was the master anymore." Therefore, some people once said angrily that the Tang Dynasty was actually destroyed by cronyism.
For this reason, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin specially added the palace examination. The emperor directly controlled the right to select scholars in the imperial examination, and those who passed the imperial examination became "the emperor's disciples." In this regard, Song Taizu said with great pride:
"Most of those who want to be admitted to the imperial examinations and grades are chosen by powerful people. The road to being cold and lonely is very meaningless. Today I personally come to test it to decide whether to advance or retreat, so as to overcome the shortcomings of the past."
It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny. The Jinshi people are not interested in the title of "Emperor's Disciple" at all. They never admit this relationship in their hearts, but still call the examiner as "Search"!
Several officials were actually very knowledgeable about this matter, but they could only pretend not to know. Even the emperor could only decide what he thought, but not what others thought.
But Qi Heng, the top scholar in the new subject, made great fanfare and performed the apprenticeship ceremony in front of all the officials, so the two of them really had a teacher-student relationship.
The number one scholar became a disciple. This was something that the great ancestors and emperors wanted to do but failed to do. Suddenly it happened to them. This was the first of its kind in the Song Dynasty.
It will definitely leave a mark in the history books.
The old emperor became more and more excited as he thought about it. He took the apprenticeship invitation from Officer Liang and opened it.
Apprenticeship post
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mr. Zhao Zhen’s Taoist teachings: The teaching of teachers is great, and it is also about teaching and teaching to solve doubts. Disciples Qi Heng, Mr. Suwen... one day is a teacher, and a hundred
Thank you for your kindness. I would like to write this post to show my sincerity.
Poster: Qi Heng.
The old emperor laughed three times and said, "Okay, okay." He closed the apprenticeship card, turned to Officer Liang, who was still standing dumbfounded, and shouted, "Hurry up and bring some tea."
Liang Daguan became excited, hurriedly ran to the tea room, and cut a cup of warm tea himself.
Wang Lidong took the tea from Liang Daguan and said, "Teacher, please have some tea."
The old emperor took the tea cup, took a sip, and officially settled the status of teacher and student. He looked at Wang Lidong with a more loving look than usual, and took off the white jade pendant with cloud and dragon pattern around his waist, "This jade pendant will be used as
It’s Yuan Ruo’s apprenticeship ceremony.”
"Thank you, Master." Wang Lidong was not polite at all. He took the jade pendant and took a rough look at it. It was made of Hetian white jade. The jade is warm and has a glass-like luster. It is white all over and its tentacles are as warm as hand grease.
The jade quality is meticulous, with only the waist showing a faint okra yellow color. The shape is a single five-clawed golden dragon, with an "S"-shaped curled body, wide-open eyes, and high-angled horns. It is thick, smooth, and lifelike.
Good thing, after a thousand years, it will be a first-class cultural relic.
The showmanship performed by the new top scholar blinded everyone in the hall.
The faces of all the civil servants became very ugly. In the Song Dynasty, "the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together". In their eyes, the emperor was at most a cooperative partner.
They, the scholar-bureaucrats, had always been the emperor's teachers, and it was their duty to tame the emperor with the authority of Confucianism. No number one scholar had ever worshiped the emperor as his teacher.
Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang glanced at Song Renzong and chatted very happily with Qi Heng. He never expected that the officials would play such a trick.
Han Qi looked at Qi Heng with a livid face. If looks could kill, Qi Heng would have been cut into pieces by him.
He was the examiner of the Jinke Examination and Qi Heng's tutor. But after the examination, all the tributes came to his house to submit their "disciple invitations", but Qi Heng did not come to report, and now he has done something like this again
.
"For hundreds of years in the Song Dynasty, those who had no disciples ordered them to surrender to others", and now it fell on him. Han Qi couldn't bear it and cursed in a low voice, "Shu Zi, Xiao Chi Lao... a servile person... a wolf-hearted person.
......."
When the noble generals saw the faces of the civil servants, they were overjoyed.
We must support whatever the enemy opposes. We haven't seen such a happy scene in many years.
A few quick-thinking people shouted at the second and third best students, asking them to follow Qi Heng and meet the current officials as students.
Duke Cheng Guo shouted to Officer Liang, "Officer Liang, don't just stand there stupidly. Go and prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones. The second best candidate and the third most beautiful man probably didn't prepare the discipleship cards."
"Sir Liang, prepare some more gifts. This kid Qi Heng makes so much money, and he doesn't even bring the apprenticeship ceremony when he becomes a disciple. It's outrageous."
"Little flag, go and prepare some tea so that Bang Er and Tan Hwa Lang can serve tea."
The Marquis of Xiangyang said loudly, "Be more prepared, there are still second-level and third-level Jinshi..."
"That's right, Senior Official Liang, please quickly send someone to send pens, inks, paper and inkstones to the Jinshi outside the palace..."
Wang Junmin, who was ranked second in the list, and Chen Mu, who was ranked third in the rankings, were both worried. They were both from Qingliu families that had been around for generations. Both of them had also been to Han Qi's house, handed over their discipleship invitations, and paid homage to their teachers. If
To follow Qi Heng and return to the present day would be to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors, to cut off oneself from the civil servants, and to cut off oneself from the scholar-bureaucrats. If the family knew about it, they would not tear them apart and delete them from the genealogy.
Glancing at Qi Heng, he saw that he had no grudges in the past and no grudges in the recent days. He was not so deceptive!
The two of them cursed Qi Heng's eighteen generations of ancestors in their hearts. When they saw Liang Daguan happily coming out of the side hall with two wolf hairs and a few pieces of rice paper, followed by two internal officials, they were "humming hummingly."
Holding up a yellow rosewood eucalyptus table, No. 2 and No. 2 looked at each other and made a mouth gesture at the same time, "Pretend to be stunned."
"It's not good, No. 2 fainted."
"It's not good, Tan Hwa Lang fainted too."
Not long after, the prince of the pavilion ran into the palace, bowed to the old emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, the new scholars outside the palace fainted collectively, and none of them are good."
The old emperor's face suddenly darkened, and he was so gloomy that he glanced at the array of civil servants. The prime ministers and political ministers all looked straight ahead with calm expressions, as if they didn't know what was going on outside the palace.
Knowing that this was a demonstration to him, warning him that enough was enough, he had never won a fight when he was in good health, let alone now... The old emperor waved his hand half-heartedly and said, "Give Brother Heng a uniform for the number one scholar, and parade him across the street on horseback.
Huamen roll call."
Seeing that the emperor was planning to stop, all the civil servants breathed a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere in the main hall became much more relaxed.
The noble generals all had some unfinished ideas. As soon as they got up, the 'pia chirping' disappeared.
"Those who have studied have good brains. Yuan Ruo's hands can disgust the big turban." Chang Xingbo patted Qi's father on the shoulder and whispered, "Jingde, will Brother Heng accept students?"
Qi's father shook his head and said, "Heng'er hasn't been crowned yet, so how can he be qualified to accept any students?"
Changxingbo said, "You have already won the first prize in the examination, why do you still care about your age? When you go back, help me ask. If you want to accept students, my four boys will ask you. By the way, tell Brother Heng that the apprenticeship ceremony and tuition fees will be determined."
He will not be missing."
"Jingde, if Yuan Ruo recruits students, including my two boys, read more books to avoid being sold by those big turbans and counting the money."
"Brother Qi, my family also..."
.....
"Ah!" A shrill scream rang out in the hall. Bang Yan sat up straight and covered his right waist with both hands and kept rubbing it.
"Ah!" Tanhualang also followed suit, sat up straight and rubbed the left side of his waist with an "ouch, ouch".
"Eh..." No. 2 didn't feel the pain after rubbing it twice. He stood up, stamped his right foot, and spun around twice happily. The heartbreaking pain just now made him almost collapse.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the hall, it became quiet for an instant, and the atmosphere became a little weird.
All the civil servants looked at the two clowns in the hall coldly, wishing they could go up and slap the two idiots hard.
We all know that you two are pretending to be faint, and the emperor also knows that you are pretending to be faint, but everyone pretends not to know.
As soon as the old emperor leaves, this matter will be over.
I couldn't bear it any longer. When I heard that I was going to parade through the streets, I jumped up. I really thought that the emperor's face was so worthless.
Wang Lidong glanced at the old emperor and found that he was extremely calm, as if nothing happened. He didn't believe that he could really bear this tone. After all, no matter how docile a sheep is, it will bite someone when provoked.
When he was in the small class in kindergarten, he learned the slogan "Respect teachers, be filial to parents", and even got a small red flower for this.
When the teacher is humiliated, how can he, a fresh disciple who has only been born for a few minutes, stand by and watch?
Wang Lidong walked to the side of No. 2 and Tan Hua Lang, "You two, are you feeling better so soon? Do you want to continue lying down for a while?"
These two people were not fools. Their faces were already pale at this time. They were guilty of deceiving the emperor. Although the Song Dynasty did not kill civil servants, they basically did not expect to be officials in this life.
"Throw a steamed bun to a wild dog, and it will wag its tail twice to express gratitude. When the brothel girls see the benefactors who are offering food to them, they will warmly entertain them and call them officials or husbands. What about you two?!
"Pointing at the No. 2 pick and the top pick, he cursed angrily, "His Majesty appointed you to be the top pick and the top pick, and gave you generous salaries to high-ranking officials. You are a distinguished person in front of others, but you are stingy and refuse to even call me your mentor, and you even fainted on purpose. You are worse than a virgin.
Wild dog, a female prostitute, and she brazenly calls herself a 'good man!'"
