Chen Yichen walked all the way to the banquet hall, and saw at least no less than a hundred tables inside and outside.

Because in addition to the new Jinshi who attended the banquet today, there were also examiners, deacons, and accompanying officials of the Ministry of Rites.

In addition, in order to demonstrate the importance of the new Jinshi and the palace examination examiners, the emperor would order a minister to go to the "feast" as his representative.

Regarding the identity of a minister, it is generally "the honorable person of the military minister is appointed to the chair," which means that the civil servants do not send a civil servant to the chair, but send a military officer.

But this is not an ordinary military general. They are far from qualified to host the banquet of honor and honor for scholars and Jinshi, but refer to military generals and honors.

The honorary relative who was appointed by the emperor in Yichou Coen Rongyan was the famous British Duke Zhang Fu!

Chen Yichen did not salute or sit down immediately when facing the ministers, but stood tall and waited for the arrival of hundreds of new Jinshis to salute the ministers.

"Neil is waiting for the celebration banquet today, so there is no need to be too polite, just have to enjoy your face!"

Wang Zhi, the Minister of Personnel, stood up and said to the new Jinshi with a smile as a representative of the documentary reading officer.

The reason why Wang Zhi was the leader was that among the officials who went to the Enrong Banquet, only Chen Xun came to the cabinet members.

You should know that during the Orthodox dynasty, the cabinet did not crush the six ministries, and even the chief minister of the cabinet was just as good as the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel.

Following the unspoken rule of "the king does not see the king", it is not convenient for Yang Pu to show up in the Enrong Banquet, otherwise who hosts the banquet will be a big ritual issue.

They represent not only individuals, but also clashes of rights between cabinet departments.

Even during the Jiajing Dynasty, the status of honorary relatives who "served the banquet" also appeared.

That is, when the emperor ordered a military honor, it was not clear whether it was a "sermon banquet" or a "main banquet".

The military general Xunqi himself has a good status. Even if it was pulled after the Tumu Fort Incident, coupled with the bonus assigned by the emperor, it represents the will of the emperor. How could it be that it could be inferior to civil officials?

But during the Jiajing period, the civil servant group was at the peak of fighting for power, and he was really not accustomed to the emperor at all. He dared to fight against the "big ritual discussion" incident. This kind of small problem is considered a bad one, and of course, civil officials are respected.

So after a few years of struggle, I made several decisions on how to place the seats. In the end, I had to remove the seats in the center and no one sat down. This matter came to an end.

From this we can see that it is unreasonable to decline in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the inefficiency of the government is outrageous!

...

"Thank you Otsukazai."

All the new Jinshi salutes and thanked each other, and then sat on their table according to the palace examination ranking.

The Enrong Banquet adopts a separate seat system, with one table in the top scorer, one table in the second place, and one table in the Tanhua. There are three to five people in the other new Jinshi, so there are no less than a hundred tables inside and outside the entire banquet hall.

Since it was a pure celebration banquet, the atmosphere of the Enrong Banquet was relatively relaxed. Even if the new Jinshi had some actions that exceeded the rules, the senior officials would not care about it. Instead, they would be happy.

Many more bold new Jinshi stood up from their seats and took the initiative to toast Wang Zhi, the Minister of Personnel, to make a familiar face.

Because after the Enrong Banquet, the new Jinshi, except for the Sandingjia, entering the Hanlin Academy, there are only two ways out before the others.

First, take the Hanlin Academy’s library selection exam, and those who win the exam are called Shujishi, who are qualified to study in Hanlin Academy with Sandingjia.

You should know that in the Ming Dynasty there was a saying that "no one should not be a Hanlin person unless he was a Jinshi" and "no one should not be a Hanlin person if he was a Hanlin person." If you want to be the best minister to be at the peak of power, then the Hanlin Academy is the place of "Capital Prime Minister" that must be entered.

Therefore, being selected as a Shujishi is a dream for new Jinshi, and the glory is no less than winning the Three Tripod Armies.

If you fail the examination for the museum selection, or you don’t want to be a Shujishi at all, then this group of people will be sent to the six ministries, five temples, three courts, the Censorate and other functional departments to "observe politics", and call them Jinshi of the Conservation Politics.

The so-called "political observation" is actually equivalent to an internship system.

After all, this group of new Jinshi is just talking about it. Most of them turn a blind eye to things outside the window and only read the books of sages. If you ask them to go directly to be officials and administrative, it will probably be a group of disasters and the government will immediately be in chaos.

According to historical records, the time when the Jinshi was in power was recorded in the Hongwu and Yongle periods was half a year, and it was mostly three months after the Zhengtong dynasty.

After the political observation ends, it is naturally formally assigned to the official position. Most Jinshi want to stay in the capital, and it is a daunting opportunity to release it outside.

After all, the officials in the capital are naturally superior to those in the foreign government, and even if they are not Hanlin, they cannot become prime ministers of the cabinet, and the chance of staying in the capital and becoming an important minister in the department is much higher than that of foreign governments.

As for the decision to remain or release the person, the Ministry of Personnel will be selected. With this intention, it is not surprising that it is to toast and please the Heavenly Officer Wang Zhi.

Others were busy working hard for the career, but Xiao Yi and Shang Lu raised their glasses to Shen Yichen's table.

"To the north, the top scorer is treated well, your table looks really spacious."

Facing Xiao Yi's teasing, Shen Yichen replied with a smile: "Your table is only three people, can't you still tolerate your big Buddha?"

After all, Shang Lu is older and has a calm personality than Xiao Yi. He did not participate in the jokes, but said seriously: "Yangbei, after the palace examination, you will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy. I wonder if my brother can still have the opportunity to work with you."

Regarding Shen Yichen, Shang Lu sincerely admired each other since the Winter Solstice Poetry Conference that year.

During this period of time, Shen Yichen was more convinced that in terms of character and talent, he was like-minded with him.

In ancient times, chariots, horses and letters were slow. If they were not allowed to be a Hanlin Academy or even sent to the public as an official, they would not know when they met again.

Enrong is a celebration banquet. For many new Jinshi, isn’t it a farewell wine?

"The first passerby in the second class is also likely to be directly awarded the Hanlin Academy for review. Moreover, with Brother Shang's talent, there is no difficulty in selecting the library."

Shen Yichen also admired and recognized Shang Lu. In history, he was the third grade, and his talent was unquestionable.

The fairness of the selection of the Hanlin Academy is far beyond the palace examination. It is truly comparable to the level of knowledge. Shen Yichen believes that few people can surpass Shanglu, and he will definitely enter the Hanlin Academy!

"Yes, Brother Hongzai, you are the second-class pass, so it is not difficult to enter the Hanlin Academy. I am far from here. If I want to be in line with you, I have no hope."

"This is a bad statement. Jing Chun, you are the second-class thirteenth. The chances of choosing a library are also very high, so there is no need to be discouraged."

Faced with Shang Lu's encouragement, Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Brother Hongzai, I am not discouraged. I am already satisfied with being from a poor family and being able to reach the Golden List step by step and get to know you and other talents."

"No matter what the future is, you should not forget your original aspiration, use your writing to establish morality, make contributions, and make words!"

Xiao Yi's words also aroused the passion in Chen Yichen's heart. He raised his wine glass and said, "Okay, no matter what the future is, I wish you all the future a bright future and not to lose your ambition!"

"Well said, do it!"

"Dry!"

The three of them raised their glasses and drank so hard, and they seemed so out of place with the utilitarian mentality of others on the scene.

Maybe at the feast of the Eternal Honor, everyone still retains the last day of the students’ sincerity and innocence. What greets them in the future will be the officialdom full of intrigues.

Wang Zhi, the Minister of Personnel, was very approachable when facing the newly-school Jinshi's wine. He raised his glass and tasted it with no help from everyone.

But to be honest, how could hundreds of new Jinshi leave an impression? This is just a polite attitude.

How to choose the Ministry of Personnel in the future depends on the political performance of the examination department, and Wang Zhi would not interfere. Moreover, as the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel, he could not pay attention to the position of minor officials around the seventh rank.

The new Jinshi’s pleasing actions today are nothing more than giving themselves psychological comfort.

But while drinking and having fun, Wang Zhi heard the words of Chen Yichen and others below. The young man's vitality was still maintained at the banquet of Enrong, which made him think of some past events in the imperial examination, and his mood was quite emotional.

"Zhuangyuan Gong, your words have also made me talk about the young man crazy."

"Come on, I'll give you a cup!"

Wang Zhi said this, which surprised the audience. It was really rare that others would queue up to toast him.

Chen Yichen was a little surprised when he heard this. Logically, he wanted to toast Wang Zhi. However, seeing that everyone was almost surrounded by Wang Zhi, he had to give up for the time being and wait for this limelight before taking over.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhi was so proud of his face.

"Otsukazuka, I dare not be called the top scholar in front of you. Just ask me to go north."

After saying that, Chen Yichen also raised his glass and said, "Thank you for your kindness at Otsukazai!"

The two of them drank it all in one go, and Wang Zhi's behavior of treating wise men and wise men also applauded everyone present.

This scene felt a little uncomfortable when He Pingyan and others' eyes. Wang Zhi was his uncle, so it would be fine if he didn't take special care of him. He also gave Chen Yichen such a big face. Are you afraid that this kid will not go fast enough in the future in the future?

"Brother Heihiko, Otsukazai is not trying to win over Chen Yichen, isn't that equivalent to us giving up?"

Song Jie asked inexplicably, if Chen Yichen becomes his own person in the future, how embarrassing it would be to get along with each other.

"How is it possible? Chen Yichen is a member of the eunuch party. Will the civil servants accept him?"

Sun Shaozong flatly denied that civil officials are now incompatible with Wang Zhen, and Chen Yichen is absolutely impossible to cleanse.

Hearing this, He Pingyan's expression remained unmoved, but he was extremely contemptuous in his heart.

After all, he is a relative of a foreigner. How could the uncle of the dynasty be so stupid that he doesn't even understand the minimum political struggle?

The so-called "Han and thieves are incompatible" is for scholars and lower-level scholars. How many people will stick to this spirit of scholars and officials who have truly climbed to the palace and the ministers of the department?

Did Wang Zhen start autocracy today? Why haven’t any minister Zhuyi submitted a memorial to impeach him in the past few years?

When I meet in the meeting, I am still polite with a smile on my face. I am very kind.

Of course, even though He Pingyan understood his uncle Wang Zhi's actions, the jealousy in his heart could not be suppressed.

When will Chen Yichen have a glory in this son?

I'm afraid only God knows when the scenery will be, but at least judging by the current situation, Chen Yichen can be said to be incredible!

With the Minister of Personnel starting from this, other officials also toasted Chen Yichen and drank a drink. In particular, Wang Ying, the Minister of Rites, took Chen Yichen's hand and gave a lot of instructions, completely treating nephews in his later life.

In addition, the Minister of War Xu Xi, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Naiheng and other eunuch party members were also extremely enthusiastic about Chen Yichen and treated him as his own.

Even at the end, even the British Duke Zhang Fu patted Chen Yichen's shoulder and gave a few words of advice.

After all, it is also the son of Chengguo Duke, the descendant of the honorary relatives, and the British Duke Zhang Fu took care of Yi Er. Isn’t it normal?

After a few scenes, the new Jinshi present was stunned.

My mother, Chen Yichen, was a member of the eunuch party who everyone called for fighting last night. Why did it not happen when I saw it today?
