Chapter 232 The initial target is within one armor
"Observe politics first, then promote officials", giving officials an internship period, allowing new scholars to study in various departments in turn, and then confer officials. At first glance, it is undoubtedly an institutional improvement.
However, with the solidification of the bureaucratic class, positions gradually became scarce, and party struggles among various factions eventually led to the system of Kanzheng Jinshi becoming a mere formality.
In order to prevent this situation from happening again, in the Xia Dynasty, Emperor Gao made slight changes to this system.
Separate training for first-class, second-class and third-class students.
The top three Jinshi are trained centrally by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Those who pass the assessment in March will be awarded the position, and those who fail will re-study.
The second-class Jinshis study in each department for half a year, and are assigned positions based on their assessment results.
The first-level Jinshi will study directly in the Hanlin Academy for one year. After leaving the academy, they will be interviewed by the emperor and then awarded an official position, either admitted to the Hanlin Academy or sent to other places.
Such a division improves operability, and once again, through the emperor's endorsement, it tacitly acknowledges the status differences between Jinshi since the pre-Ming Dynasty.
The top three in the first class, Chuan Lu and the other six people in the second class, that is, the top ten people in the palace examination are the most respected. The remaining second class is one group, and the third class is another group. When the rankings are determined, their status is basically
Already demarcated.
Those who are not Jinshi will not be admitted to the Hanlin, and those who are not Hanlin will not be admitted to the Cabinet.
To be promoted to a cabinet minister, one must have qualifications from the Hanlin Academy. To be a chief minister, the requirements are even higher.
For example, Zhu Sidao, the current chief assistant, was born in Yijia.
Thanks to a catastrophe in the late Ming Dynasty, many extremely capable talents indeed emerged among the Yijia Jinshi, making this unspoken rule in the Qian Ming Dynasty almost clearly recognized in the Xia Dynasty. The first assistant must be San Ding Jia!
Jia Lan once heard from Li Xuanzhu that the mountain chief felt very sad about the death of Lin Daiyu's father, Lin Ruhai.
Although he has withdrawn from the court, Li Xuanzhu is still an old man in the officialdom. When talking about Lin Ruhai, he told Jia Lan a secret that was not a secret.
Lin Ruhai was actually trained as the chief assistant and the reserve prime minister!
"Ke Qing is right. If you can get the top spot in Chunwei and enter the Hanlin Academy, you may really be able to find some clues."
Since it is not possible to visit the private sector, we naturally have to change our thinking. As the largest official archives, Shenzhang Pavilion, Jia Lan must visit it no matter what.
"I must enter the First Class this spring."
Jia Lan clenched his hands and secretly made up his mind.
Keqing's crisp voice continued: "One more thing, Brother Lan, you are going to Lihentian, I'm afraid your ordinary ranking is not enough to summon the Xuanhuang Qi.
I’m afraid the ranking in the imperial examination needs to be higher..."
"Xuanhuang Qi?"
Yu Linglong interrupted Ke Qing in surprise: "Girl, do you know what you are talking about?
That's the air of fantasy, not some mountain mist.
It's not like the cakes made by Jia Lan, which can be made casually with just some ingenuity.
Xuanhuang Qi is human luck, even I have never seen it with my own eyes."
"..."
Qin Keqing and Jia Lan were silent for a while.
"Ke Qing, could it be that you...?"
"Brother Lan, I thought you had already mentioned it to the Spirit Master."
"..."
Feeling the silence between Jia Lan and Qin Keqing, Yu Linglong looked at Qin Keqing with unconcealable surprise: "Could it be that..."
"Not bad." Jia Lan concentrated and silently adjusted the spirituality in his soul.
A shallow, but slightly identifiable purple aura permeates the spirit.
"Really, really..."
Yu Linglong looked at this faint spiritual energy as if she had seen a ghost.
"Has the spirit of humanity turned into such a rotten street?"
She murmured: "I think back then, the Great God Wa Huang condensed a trace of black and yellow energy, just a little bit, and it took thousands of years, thousands of years..."
Qin Keqing said: "Lingzun, the human race was not prosperous during the time of Emperor Wa, and it is naturally different from today."
"Yeah..." Jia Lan agreed, and took the opportunity to explain the situation of getting Xuanhuang Qi that day, and how to go to Lihen Heaven again.
Yu Linglong was silent for a moment after listening, and had to agree with what the two said.
"That's true. The great prosperity of the Human Religion today is indeed incomparable to that of Emperor Wa, but..."
She looked at Qin Keqing: "Jia Lan is too lucky, isn't he? Such good things can happen to him casually?
Why can't I?
Could it be that this kid is really blessed by human luck, or is he the reincarnation of a powerful person?"
Qin Keqing raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and smiled. At this moment, Yu Linglong fell into her eyes, like a child having a little temper.
"That's not the case."
Jia Lan's voice sounded: "Although this can be attributed to luck, but..."
Instead of believing in luck, it is better to believe in yourself.
If given a choice, Jialan is the kind of person who doesn't want to stand around and wait for luck to come.
It is true that Confucianism is flourishing in the world of Red Mansions, but as Yu Linglong said, the spirit of humanity is not something that can be found everywhere.
Jing Huan once said that this is a kind of Taoist auspiciousness. Even if you are as loyal as Prime Minister Wen, in the end only "Song of Righteousness" can be recognized by heaven and earth and initially give birth to spirituality.
Since then, Jia Lan has also searched for the authentic works handed down by other great Confucians. He also stayed in Qufu for a long time when he went south a year ago, but he found nothing.
Now when talking about Tao Zang, Jia Lan has a feeling, as if all history...
All were hidden.
After thinking for a long time and having no clue, he suddenly thought of another question.
What is Jia Zhen doing? Why does he mention Shenzhang Pavilion?
Qin Keqing thought about it for a moment.
"Although my memory of when I was Qin Keqing is still a bit intermittent, if I remember correctly..."
Jia Lan frowned: "Jia Zhen is looking for something?"
"Yes, he seems to be looking for something, so he specially invited someone to the banquet."
"Who did Jia Zhen invite? Is he also a new scholar?" Jia Lan asked.
As far as he knew, Rongguo Mansion almost no longer accepted submissions from candidates who had just graduated from college. However, he was not sure about Ningguo Mansion. After all, Jia Zhen's father, Jia Jingke, was a scholar in the East Palace.
It's a pity that Keqing doesn't remember.
In her memory, this was just an ordinary banquet, nothing special.
"Really..."
Jia Lan knew that Qin Keqing had lost part of his past memories after death and became a spirit body, so he was not disappointed. After all, Ke Qing was right, this should not be an untouchable secret, otherwise Jia Zhen would not
Let Jia Rong and Qin Keqing accompany you.
Although he was somewhat concerned about what Jia Zhen was looking for, Jia Lan did not delve into this matter.
In the Cuicui Temple, the young man still folded his hands in a daze as usual.
Miaoyu and Jialan sit opposite each other.
Looking at Jia Lan, Miaoyu gradually felt curious.
