Immediately afterwards, there was a high-pitched voice, and the eunuch shouted again: "Please visit Hualang, Yingzhou Chendao!"
As soon as these words came out, no matter how helpless Chen Dao was, he could only step forward.
At this point, the top three Jinshi scholars and their backgrounds are considered to be gone.
The rest, a few people on the first-level list, can only be born as Jinshi.
By the time they reach the second level, even those who were born as advanced scholars are gone, and there is only one left who is born with the same family as Jinshi.
Even though there is only one more word, sometimes, this one word makes a huge difference.
The eunuch's high-pitched voice continued to shout, and soon he reached Li Long's position.
Nineteenth, the ranking is lower than that of the national examination, almost falling out of the first-class list.
Hearing this, Li Long hurried forward and followed the etiquette taught by Li Changkong to wear the jade-branded Jinshi robe.
However, because there was sun-dried mud under his feet, the ground in front of Zhengde Hall was stained with mud stains all the way up.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience couldn't bear it anymore, and even in front of Li Changkong, they began to ridicule.
"What kind of style is this? What kind of style is this?"
"I am a scholar in Dagan who pays the most attention to etiquette. When Li Long comes to the Zhengde Hall like this, he has completely lost the face of a scholar in Dagan!"
"How can such a scum be able to become a Jinshi for me? How can he be able to face the saint later? Hurry up and get rid of him!"
Some people were furious, and some people were roaring.
All in all, he was actually afraid that Li Long's inappropriate appearance would offend Emperor Jing Xing, so as not to vent his anger on them.
Li Changkong looked at this scene and didn't say much, just snorted coldly.
For a moment, all the Jinshi were as silent as a cicada.
It is true that they are Jinshi, but even He Taibai, the number one scholar, as well as the second and third best candidates in front of them, can only be admitted to the sixth rank of the Hanlin Academy.
This is already a great kindness. From now on, he can be regarded as a distinguished member of the Hanlin Academy.
From now on, if you have a good official career and have someone to support you, you can gradually rise in the Imperial Academy.
After reaching the end of promotion, the best way out is to join the cabinet and then gain seniority in the cabinet.
At the end of the day, you will either become an ordinary cabinet minister, or be appointed as the chief minister like Jia Pingsheng, Zhang Zifang and others.
This is still the treatment of the top three. Those who are born in Jinshi can only be appointed as the county magistrate of the seventh grade.
Whether you can return to Qiandu City at that time depends on your luck.
If he can achieve political achievements, he can certainly come back.
But if you can't achieve political results, I'm afraid you really have to take root at the grassroots level.
Therefore, they are still far from being truly powerful ministers.
But Li Changkong was different. Military generals were much more difficult to be promoted than civilian officials.
But at such a young age, he is already a fifth-rank General Anbei.
From now on, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, this position will probably move up a bit.
The position of supreme minister is basically confirmed.
Even worse, Li Changkong still has two titles: Uncle Anbei and Marquis Wuling!
So if we really want to talk about it, regardless of whether they are Jinshi or Number One Scholar, the gap between them and Li Changkong is still huge.
Seeing Li Changkong angry at this time, it was inevitable that he would feel frightened.
Even if he was as proud as He Taibai, he couldn't help but look sideways.
To be honest, he admires Li Changkong very much.
Regardless of the fact that General Anbei was able to become a fifth-ranked general at such an age, his feat of destroying the Northern Yuan conspiracy in northern Xinjiang and saving countless people in Shanhaiguan is enough to be praised.
He Taibai knew that although he was arrogant, he had great respect for the people he recognized, and Li Changkong was one of them!
After a long time, when the eunuch's voice was already hoarse, the roll call in front of the Zhengde Hall finally came to an end.
The next step is to enter the Zhengde Hall and meet the saint to be conferred an official title.
For a time, many Jinshi could not help but feel excited.
"Announce all the Jinshi to enter the palace!" A high-pitched voice came from the Zhengde Hall, and the Jinshi filed in, followed by Li Changkong.
The guard guarding the palace gate frowned slightly when he saw this, but did not stop him. He just told his colleagues beside him to go forward and pass the news.
Soon, the group entered the Zhengde Hall.
Emperor Jingxing sat high on the dragon chair, showing his majesty.
Looking down, I saw that He Taibai, Zhang Han, Chen Dao and others were all high-spirited people, and I felt relieved.
"Everyone, they are all my humerus!"
However, when he saw Li Long, he was slightly startled, and even his eyes froze for a moment.
This...this just came down from the fields?
Looking at the traces of mud stained on the floor of Zhengde Hall, Emperor Jing Xing was slightly unhappy.
After all, this is a face-to-face meeting, so why can’t we clean it up and come back again?
Also, why is this bastard Li Changkong here?
Is it possible that when his apprentice is granted an official position, he, the master, still has to teach and watch him step by step?
Emperor Jing Xing secretly shook his head, feeling that it was too childish.
But he didn't say much, he just said to Zhang Zifang beside him: "Let's get started."
As a result, Zhang Zifang stepped forward and said: "He Taibai, the number one scholar, comes forward."
Hearing this, He Taibai stepped forward steadily and stopped three feet in front of Zhang Zifang.
"Promoted to be edited and compiled by Hanlin Academy, with the sixth grade."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's previous guesses were confirmed.
Later, Chen Dao was also promoted to editor of the Hanlin Academy. As for Zhang Han, to be honest, it was a pity that he was not granted any title.
Everyone knows that Zhang Han followed the system of honors and nobles, and the promotion route for generals was naturally different from that for civil servants.
If he were to be granted the title of Editor of the Hanlin Academy, which is known as a nobility, it would be unfair and would cause him to be ostracized from both sides.
But the person who was second in the list got fame, not merit. He couldn't be promoted to the rank of military officer even if he wanted to.
In this regard, Emperor Jing Xing was helpless and could only put it aside for the time being and wait until the next time Zhang Han made meritorious service before promoting him.
"Promote Li Mojie of Jizhou to the position of magistrate of Shangjing County, Chenghua Prefecture, Jiaozhou."
When Li Mojie heard this, instead of being disappointed, he was quite excited and hurriedly stepped forward to thank him.
As everyone knows, there is a rebellion in Yizhou, and Sheng Jin, the magistrate of Jiaozhou, was ordered to lead a state's troops to resist it.
And this Sheng Jin is a man with both political integrity and talent, as well as both civil and military skills. Under his command, if he has real talent and knowledge, he will definitely be able to make great achievements.
What's more, even if he can't accomplish anything, just resisting the military rebellion in Yizhou can be regarded as a great achievement. When the time comes... he will be transferred back to Qiandu City and become a capital official. I'm afraid it won't be around the corner.
He, who is a seventh-rank county magistrate, is not necessarily worse than He Taibai and Chen Dao, who are from the sixth-rank Hanlin Academy.
