Princess Huichen is about to get married. This matter is naturally very important. In the past few years, Queen Mother Bai has always ignored Princess Huichen. She ignored her and let this ten-year-old girl go in her early years.
He chewed pig trotters every day, and he weighed one hundred pounds!
Later, Li Xuan still couldn't stand it anymore, and he thought, if Princess Huichen eats this again, the tonnage will exceed 200 kilograms!
So two years ago, he told Princess Huichen to pay attention to losing weight, eat less and run more when she had nothing to do, and then he found a female official for her to teach her how to read and write.
He didn't know what the former Empress Dowager Bai and Lear Bi thought. As their son, he started studying since he was a child and could even take part in the imperial examination. However, his sister, Princess Huichen, was illiterate.
And what's very interesting is that it's not just their family, there are quite a few landlords and gentry families, even those from so-called scholarly families, many of the girls in them are illiterate. Confucianism has already been ruined by Zhu Cheng.
Nowadays, many people believe that "it is virtue for a woman not to have talent".
Fortunately, Wang Wenhua and the others knew that Li Xuan hated illiteracy. The various show girls and dancers they had sent to the palace over the years were basically literate, and some of them had been treated better since childhood.
With cultural literacy education, he is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Moreover, these ladies from scholarly families are different from the Qinhuai ladies who have also been trained in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as various dancing and bed skills since childhood. Those Qinhuai ladies are just pretending at most.
We are all ladies, but deep down, we still can't hide the aura of prostitution.
But those ladies of the world all have the aura that I am a lady of the world, and you poor scholars can get away as far as you want!
Li Xuan doesn't want his sister to be illiterate when she grows up!
I don’t want her to gain weight. This is not about whether she is beautiful or whether she will crush the groom to death on the wedding night, but that obesity has a serious impact on health!
Although he has no feelings, Li Xuan still hopes that his sister can live a healthy and happy life!
Unfortunately, it was too difficult for Princess Huichen to lose weight. She had already used diet and exercise to lose weight, but she was the same as Queen Mother Bai: she gained weight even if she drank water!
He is now sixteen years old and still weighs more than 150 kilograms!
As for weight, this thing has a lot to do with height. If you are 1.89 meters or something, more than 150 kilograms is not considered heavy!
You want to ask about Princess Huichen’s height? Well, I can’t say that!
Princess Huichen's height is an empire secret and cannot be leaked easily.
What, you said she is only 1.4 meters? Are you kidding? Our Princess Huichen is clearly 1.55 meters tall, she is tall!
Huichen is getting married, and the royal family has been busy with this recently. Although the Li family has become a royal family, it has only been a few years. Empress Dowager Bai and Empress Dong still retain many folk customs.
Marrying a girl is naturally inseparable from many customs, and many things need to be prepared in advance.
And Li Xuan was also planning to meet the husband chosen by Empress Dowager Bai for Princess Huichen after these few days of work. As for now, he was very busy. Not to mention the messy government affairs, the imperial examination took up a lot of his time.
In early April of the seventh year of Xuanping, many people in Jinling City were attracted by the upcoming imperial examination!
It was completely different from the previous imperial examinations held in the Tang Dynasty!
Although the imperial examinations held by the Tang Dynasty also attracted a lot of attention, to be honest, the overall influence was still relatively limited.
In the early days when Zhaoqing was the capital, the several imperial examinations held had great limitations. Those who participated in the imperial examinations were only scholars from Guangdong, Guangxi and some Guizhou, and even the local scholars, most of them were not
For those who agree with the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty spent a lot of hard work to gather hundreds of people to participate in the imperial examination.
Two years later, in order to allow the scholars to participate in the imperial examination, the Ministry of Rites also tried its best!
In the early days, as long as you passed the Jinshi examination, you would be awarded an official position of sixth grade or above on the spot. Soon after, after completing the basic internship, the official position awarded would often be one or two levels higher.
In the early years, after passing the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty, it was not difficult to climb to the fourth rank within one year, because the person who passed the examination would start at the sixth rank. After three months, officials were often promoted to one or even two ranks. Moreover, at that time, the rank of the Tang Dynasty
As more and more places are occupied, the gap for officials is quite large. As long as they don't make mistakes, even if they are not outstanding, they can often be promoted in a few months.
With better luck, it is very possible to climb to the fourth rank within a year!
If you are lucky and have the ability, your promotion speed will be like a rocket. For example, someone like Chen Lifu can be promoted to the fourth level in two years in the Grain Recruitment Department, a very important organization.
Although the demand for officials in the Tang Dynasty was still relatively large in the next two years, it was not so terrible. Especially after occupying Jiangnan, the number of officials awarded to new scholars in the Tang Dynasty was slightly reduced.
But today, in the seventh year of Xuanping, the awarding of new scholars has basically returned to the normal historical average level. Whether it is the Jinshi or the doctoral degree, they are all under the same standard. The first grade is awarded from the sixth grade to the second grade.
Awarded to the seventh rank, and top three are awarded to the seventh rank!
However, in addition to grades, the biggest impact is actually the specific appointment. Generally speaking, the first-class and second-class people stay in Beijing to serve. They may be assigned to serve in various ministries, or they may be assigned to serve in the Hanlin Academy, even if they are
After entering the Hanlin Academy, there are many departments. Entering the secretariat is completely different from entering an ordinary department.
Here, if the level is equal, entering the Secretariat is naturally the first choice. This is an organization where you can get close contact with Li Xuan, and it is also a place that countless young officials dream of. Once you enter, you only have to serve for three years and then go out again.
, your official career will be much smoother.
However, the Secretariat is very strict in selecting people, and in the past two years, it has rarely recruited directly from new undergraduates. Generally speaking, there are only two people who can enter the Secretariat every year, and that is the top pick in the Jinshi and Doctoral programs.
Others, including the second and third placers in the first-A class, sometimes can't get in. As for the second-A and third-A teams, there is 100% no chance.
In addition to the top candidates in two subjects every year, the secretariat is now more inclined to select young, experienced, middle- and low-level officials.
In short, you have to be young, talented and experienced, and there is an unwritten rule. You must also have an excellent background. Otherwise, how could it be your turn to be a secretary when there are so many young, talented and experienced mid-level and low-level officials across the country?
From then on, he became famous and prosperous!
As for the new graduates such as the second-class and third-class scholars, the second-class graduates can usually stay in Beijing. They usually work in various ministries to take on more important tasks. They may also enter the Supervisory Office or the Supreme Court, or special agencies such as the tax department and the patrol department.
, it depends on the scholar's own wishes and whether there is a need for people in the specific yamen. It does not mean that you can just go there if you want to go.
As for the top three, they basically stay in various yamen in the capital for three months as interns. After three months, they will be awarded officials depending on the situation. They are generally sent to various ministries or provincial or prefecture-level and other local yamen to hold ordinary positions. Those with outstanding abilities
Yes, it is for training in the counties and towns below.
Yes, for the top three Jinshi, staying in Beijing or going to work in a certain provincial city is actually a very bad choice, because that means that the official career will be like that in this life.
As for the new top three Jinshi who go to work in the county, they are the top three top Jinshis trained by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. These people usually serve as the chief of a certain section after going to the county, and then transition to the chief of the agriculture and forestry section or the chief of the industrial and commercial section.
These two positions are very important in the current official system of the Tang Dynasty. Because these two positions are very challenging, the boss also likes to promote people who hold these two positions. Among the officials of the Tang Dynasty today, there is such a
Saying: If you want to govern a county, you should first become the section chief of the Agriculture and Forestry Section or the Industrial and Commercial Section. After gaining experience as section chiefs in these two positions, you can naturally become the county magistrate.
And with the experience of serving as a county magistrate, you will have a greater chance of becoming a prefect or prefect in the future!
After you have experience in running a government, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will list you as a backup candidate for the chief envoy or governor.
This road is almost the best way for local officials to climb up.
Of course, very few people working in various ministries in the capital or in provincial yamen can climb up the ranks very quickly, and they may even become a minister!
But there are very few such people!
And even if he is a person who climbs very fast in the Gyeonggi Yamen, even if there is a group of people behind him pushing him to climb up, due to the official rules of the Tang Dynasty, he still has to go somewhere, and he still has to go to a poor place to be gilded.
In addition to the internal promotion agencies such as the tax department, patrol police, and inspectorate, ordinary civil servants serving in other agencies, if they have no experience in governing, want to cross the third rank and become the minister or governor of the second rank. In today's
The Tang Dynasty was impossible.
In today's Tang Dynasty, the fastest way to get promoted is to stay in the capital for a period of time, go abroad for a period of time, and then transfer back to the capital for a period of time. If you repeat this, the speed of promotion will be as fast as a rocket.
But you have to pay attention again. Not everyone can be transferred back to Gyeonggi after being transferred to other places, and not everyone can be transferred to another place after being transferred back to Gyeonggi. For many officials, they may not be able to do so in their lifetime.
What about such an opportunity?
The officials who can have such an opportunity are all reserve officials with names from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and have been designated as key training officials. They all meet the five major conditions: young, talented, experienced, well-backed, and loyal to the emperor!
A brief explanation of the latter one's loyalty to the emperor is: willing to dedicate all loyalty to the Holy Emperor!
