Chapter 249 The champion Shen Tang, in addition to white and green
Chapter 249: The number one scholar sinks into the hall, except white and covered with green
Zhao Shen picked up the golden plaque on the desk and handed it to Chen Kangbai who was standing on the right. Chen Kangbai held the golden plaque and handed it to Shang Huaili. An official from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and carefully assisted Shang Huaili in slowly unfolding the golden plaque.
The vocal music stopped suddenly, and a Chuanlu official suddenly sang loudly: "Chuanlu!"
The sound was long and high, and it spread directly throughout the entire palace!
After the lingering sound, a propaganda officer came out of his class and read out the imperial edict, "Heaven carries the emperor, and the edict says: On March 31, the first year of Longxing, we will test the world's tributes. The first one will be awarded the title of Jinshi, and the second will be awarded the title of Jinshi. The first person is given a Jinshi background, the third person is given a Jinshi background. Thank you for this!"
After reading the imperial edict, another announcer came forward, walked to Shang Huaili's side, looked at the gold list and sang loudly: "First A, First Place Shen Tang!"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of vocal music sounded again. A group of officials standing on the west side of the student also sang the song one after another, passing it on from generation to generation, all the way to the outside of the palace gate!
At this moment, outside the Donghua Gate, there are already crowds of people! Including the families, relatives and friends of these students, including almost half of the people in Lin'an City. Who doesn't want to be the first to know the name of the number one scholar? Who doesn't want to see the scene of the roll call of the number one scholar? Almost Even the Jinshui Bridge above the royal road was full of people. However, on this most festive day, even the palace guards would not do anything to drive away the crowd.
As the voices inside the palace slowly came out, the chaotic sounds outside Donghua Gate suddenly became suffocating.
The voice spread from far to near, and everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the most resounding name.
"First A..."
"First place, first place..."
"Shen Tang!"
The title of No. 1 Scholar was sung three times in a row, and each time the sound was prolonged for a very long time. This is also the highest honor given to the No. 1 Scholar!
"boom!"
The originally silent Donghua Gate once again became loud and loud, and everyone was talking about the same name 'Shen Tang'! One of the tall and strong men suddenly shouted, "Hahaha, my master is the number one scholar!" Wei Daniu, hurry back to your home and tell the two ladies the good news, saying that our master has won the top prize!"
This man was naturally the guardian of the Shen family, Qian Hong. Behind him, Wei Daniu jumped up, pushed away everyone, and ran towards the Shen mansion. As he ran, he shouted, "My master Shen Tang has won the first prize. And he’s the top pick with three consecutive wins!”
I won’t say much about the joy and noise outside the door, except that in front of the Daqing Hall, after Shen Tang’s name was sung three times, an official from the Ministry of Etiquette came forward and saluted respectfully.
"Master Zhuangyuan, please come with me!"
At this moment, Shen Tang only felt like he was in a dream. Number one scholar? Number one scholar! He was actually the number one scholar. Originally, Shen Tang thought that even if he became a high-ranking official in the court, he would not be too happy or excited. However, now this big He was still a little unbelievable that the first place in the Song Dynasty, with three consecutive top prizes, fell on him.
Somewhat sluggishly, they followed the officials from the Ministry of Rites towards the Daqing Hall.
Afterwards, the names of Zhang Bin, the second place winner, and Zuo Cheng, the third place winner, were also chanted three times. However, the voices sung were slightly shorter than those of the top pick.
After Sandingjia finished singing, the messenger began to read out the list of the top two. The list of the top two was chanted only once. Then, the list of the top three was chanted only once!
After all the roll calls were completed, one hundred and ninety-six new scholars entered the Daqing Hall under the guidance of the salute officer. Before that, the emperor and courtiers had already returned to the hall.
At the front of the Jinshi queue is Shen Tang, the number one scholar. He stands in the middle under the steps of the Dragon Bookcase. In the middle of the steps are stone carvings of a rising dragon and a giant turtle. This is where the so-called dominance comes from.
Behind Shen Tang, Zhang Bin and Zuo Cheng stood on the left and right, and the rest of the second-class and third-class scholars were arranged in order with their respective first names as the leaders of the class.
The melodious music sounded, and the new scholars, led by Shen Tang, once again paid homage to the Holy One!
At the end of the ceremony, the music faded away. The attendants came out and sang loudly, "The Holy One has decreed that the robes and wats will be given to the Jinshi!"
Thank you for being a new Jinshi!
Except for the white robes and green silk robes! The original students wore white student robes, but after changing to green robes, they were considered to have official status.
Sanding Jia is naturally served by a chamberlain, so he changes his robe into a yellow gown, a green robe, a yellow belt, and a white scepter!
Naturally, the other Jinshi did not have this kind of treatment and had to do it themselves. Fortunately, this scene had been tried at home countless times, so although the scene was a little complicated, it was not too messy.
Emperor Zhao Shen looked at the group of energetic young people below, and the originally stiff look on his face gradually softened. It was precisely because of the generations of young people that the Song Dynasty continued to grow. Maybe it continued. , after more than ten years, these young people will become his humerus ministers. Their mood gradually eases, and even the number one scholar Shen Tang, who was originally dissatisfied with him, becomes more pleasing to the eye.
This was because Shen Tang, the number one scholar, was selected under the pressure of Chen Kangbai and others. Therefore, before this, Zhao Shen had always held a certain amount of resentment, and even had never even looked at him. But at this moment, his eyes fell. Shen Tang couldn't help but be slightly startled.
At this moment, Shen Tang had already changed into his robes, holding a white wat in his hand, and was standing under the jade steps, so Zhao Shen could see very clearly.
With a straight figure and a handsome face, under the sword-shaped eyebrows, his eyes are serious and firm!
"This Shen Tang has a good appearance!" Zhao Shen praised in his heart, "But I don't know if he is really talented or just talkative."
The courtiers present also looked at the Jinshi in front of them. They might be colleagues or enemies in the future. However, at this moment, they saw their former selves in them. However, after Huan Hai surrendered, his current self has changed. What a look.
Shen Tang seemed calm, but his heart was full of turmoil. Being a Tian Shelang in the morning and ascending to the Emperor's Hall in the evening was almost the highest honor for a scholar. Now, that he could stand here, it would undoubtedly make his heart surge.
After all the new scholars had changed into their robes, Zhao Shen stood up and encouraged them with gentle words. Then, he ordered people to give the scholars a bag of tips!
The brocade bag naturally contains the official's application to the court. However, in the future, he will still need to go to the Ministry of Personnel to register, and then he can be appointed and officially become an official of the Song Dynasty.
After giving the kit, the official Zhao Shen also gave the imperial pen, the Four Treasures of the Study and other items, as well as some money. After all, after the roll call in the Golden Palace, there were a series of ceremonies and celebrations. The money given was considered to be paid by the official. .
Therefore, starting from March of Yangchun, more than a month after the end of the palace examination, it is almost the time to celebrate the new Jinshi! Moreover, no one interferes and no one governs, which highlights the superiority of the Jinshi status to the extreme.
