161 Eng Rong Banquet and Conferring Officials (2 in 1)(2/2)
Civil officials, honorary relatives, and eunuchs, almost all treat him as their own people. Chen Yichen is very good at everything and is full of "porn". What's wrong with this world?
Today's scene can be regarded as a vivid lesson for these Jinshi chicks who have not yet been officially awarded official positions.
What is the false and balanced way in the officialdom?
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of the dishes were served, and it was time for the Enrong Banquet to end. When Chen Yichen walked out of the Ministry of Rites, he found that there were already a few stars in the sky.
When he returned to the mansion in a carriage, Chen Yichen was already drowsy. After all, as the top scorer, it was impossible for him to drink less. He could not stop him from being toasted.
I don’t know how I returned to my room, but when Chen Yichen opened his eyes again, it was the next morning.
After rubbing his dry eyes, Chen Yichen got up in a daze to dress. When he found the bright sunshine outside the window, he suddenly remembered an important thing.
That is, today I will go to the Ministry of Personnel’s Wenxuan Department to receive the official uniform and tooth cards!
Drinking is a mistake!
Chen Yichen sighed in his heart. The wine table culture of later generations was still a bit critical, but in ancient times it was praised.
What is the wine that you meet with friends for a thousand cups, don’t let the golden cup face the moon, etc. Anyway, there are endless poems about drinking. Many of them have even become famous works throughout the ages and have been praised by later generations.
"Aniu, please help me get a basin of water!"
Chen Yichen shouted outside the house, then accelerated the movements in his hands.
When A Niu brought the basin over, Chen Yichen quickly washed his face with cold water. He didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he hurriedly called the carriage to rush to the Ministry of Personnel.
He urged the coachman to gallop all the way, but when Chen Yichen arrived at the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel, he was still late.
Yang Hongze and He Pingyan had already been waiting in front of the official department, with a very gloomy face...
Please Chen Yichen, at least be a person!
The provincial examination is late, the Lu Ming Banquet is late, the concert examination is late, the teacher is late, and even the palace examination is the last one!
The only thing I didn’t arrive late was yesterday’s Enrong Banquet. I didn’t expect that it would be a day before the Ministry of Personnel was late again today. It’s really hard to change my shit!
The problem is that it’s okay if you, Chen Yichen, is late, but you are awarded the title of three tripods and officials, and you still have to wait here. Why?
"Sorry, it's too late to get down."
Chen Yichen looked at the two of them who wanted to eat him, and felt a little ashamed. Even though the relationship was not good, he still apologized.
"snort!"
Compared with pure playboys like Sun Shaozong, Yang Hongze and He Pingyan, there is some literati cultivation.
I couldn't say anything cursed, and I didn't want to say anything else to Chen Yichen. I could only snort coldly and walked into the Ministry of Personnel with a stern face.
"Hey, what's the situation? Are you going to jump in line?"
"Yes, why should they go in first?"
"And the last guy who arrived, go to the back to line up honestly!"
Seeing He Pingyan and others entering the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department, the other officials waiting in line were dissatisfied and shouted at the officials at the door.
"What are you talking about? They are the three tripod armors, and they are given priority as per the rules."
"Whoever dares to make a loud noise again, don't think about going in today!"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the green robe were waiting outside, and all the officials in the green robe were shut up honestly and did not dare to say anything more.
On the one hand, the Sanding A is indeed preferred, and this year, the B-Chou Department also posted a three-yuan ranking. It is a foregone conclusion that it has been successful. Isn’t offending such potential stocks to cause trouble?
On the other hand, the Ministry of Personnel’s Wenxuan Department can’t afford to offend, even the little official standing at the door.
You should know that there is a saying that it is the seventh rank official in front of the prime minister, and the same is true for the Ministry of Personnel.
The head of the six ministries is the Ministry of Personnel, and the head of the Ministry of Personnel is the Wenxuan Department!
The Wenxuan Department is in charge of the quota and rank of all civilian officials in the central and localities, as well as the selection, promotion and reimbursement of officials, etc., which is equivalent to the Organization Department and Human Resources Department of the later generations. Do you dare to offend it?
In addition, according to the unspoken rules of the Ministry of Personnel, the Shangshu Tianguan is only responsible for officials of the fourth rank and above, that is, officials in red robes. The review work of the other five rank and below officials was handed over to the Wenxuan Department.
Therefore, the chief officer of the Wenxuan Department, with the title of the No. 5th rank in the world, could determine the future of middle and low-level officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if the Wenxuan Department doctors go to the place, they will be treated as third-rank officials, comparable to the sixth ministry ministers, and no one dares to underestimate them.
When he entered the house and saw Chen Yichen and others coming in, Wenxuansi's Langzhong immediately dropped his work and came forward to greet him, "The Three Dingjia Grand Master is here, I am so honored."
Most officials may not be too lazy to say a few more words, let alone the Wenxuan Department’s doctors welcome him warmly.
The reason why I am so polite is due to the identities of Chen Yichen and others.
One is the history of the Sanyuan and the Year of the Imperial Examination, and there will be a bright future in the future. The other is the nephew of the immediate superior of the Wenxuan Department. If you neglect your back, you will report it. Do you still want to sit in this position?
"You are kind to the doctor. I'll come to register the official certificate and receive the official uniforms when I die late."
The other party treated each other with courtesy, and Chen Yichen and others were naturally extremely polite.
"I have prepared it early and are waiting for the Sanding Armor to come and be appointed as an official."
After saying that, Wenxuansi greeted the officials next to him, and soon someone came over with three red cases, with official uniforms, beams, hats, boots and socks on them.
The Sandingjia is different from other new Jinshi. The official title and position have been decided long ago. The top scholar is directly awarded the editor of the sixth-rank Hanlin Academy, and the second-rank Tanhua is directly awarded the editor of the seventh-rank Hanlin Academy.
But don’t look at the low rank of officials, the future is not the same as those of Beijing officials and foreign officials.
In addition, it was customized during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. All officials of fourth rank and above wore red robes, seventh rank and above wore green robes, and green robes below.
So what Chen Yichen received was a blue official uniform with a tonic embroidered with a genus belt and a belt with plain silver.
This reminded Chen Yichen of his crimson top robe and the golden flower belt he gave him. When paired with it, except for the lack of patches on his chest, he was definitely the demeanor of a member of the red-robed clothes, and he was in the limelight.
After thanking Wenxuansi's doctor, Chen Yichen and the other two went to Shangbaosi to receive their own ivory carved waist card of the Chaoguan official, referred to as "waist card" or "tooth card".
Shangbaosi was founded in the first year of Wu in Zhu Yuanzhang. It was an institution that controlled the seals and talismans in the Ming Dynasty. For example, the large seal of "Emperor's Treasure" was jointly controlled by the inner official Shangbaojian and the outer official Shangbaosi.
In addition, official seals such as gold medals, tokens, bronze medals, tooth cards, sacrifice cards, Pisces bronze medals and talisman verification are also issued by Shangbaosi.
The receipt of tooth cards is not that complicated. After verifying the official certificates of Chen Yichen and others, it was directly distributed.
This thing is ivory-shaped vertically rectangular, with an arc edge at the top, and the first sign is engraved with Ruyi cloud patterns.
On one side of the sign is engraved with the user's official rank and the other side is a common four lines of warning text, which is read in succession as "The officials of the court have this card hanging on the plaque, and those who have no plaque shall be judged according to the law. The borrower and the borrower shall be punished for the same crime. It is not necessary to leave the capital."
The last four words indicate that only Beijing officials need to issue tooth cards, and foreign officials do not need them.
In addition, there are also characters on the tooth card, such as Gong, Hou and Bo, the son-in-law, the son-in-law, the character of relatives, the civil servants, the character of martial, the character of martial, the character of joy, and the character of internal officials.
It can be said that this small tooth card is not only used for travel, but also a symbol of status.
After receiving these official supplies, Chen Yichen and others did not go directly to the government office to report, but wanted to gather with other new Jinshi and go to Honglu Temple to learn etiquette.
After all, for the officialdom, the new Jinshi are all a group of novices and do not understand the rules at all.
There were some officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple who were instructed step by step, as long as they were obedient and followed, there would be no big problem.
In the future, there will be no one in the officialdom to guide you on what to do, and everything depends on yourself.
In order to avoid the new Jinshi who are in the imperial examination or committing crimes, according to the requirements of the "Da Ming Hui Dian", you must train etiquette in Honglu Temple for a few days, and then the new top scholar leads the Jinshi who are in the imperial examination to express their gratitude.
The process of expressing gratitude above is a standard court meeting, which is also the first time Chen Yichen has attended court as an official.
Only after the court was completed would he go to the Hanlin Academy to report, and he would officially become an official from then on.
The Honglu Temple etiquette training process is boring. In summary, you must be cautious everywhere and give in step by step.
The training these days has also made many new Jinshi's hearts who were originally fanatical about experiencing the officialdom, and became much colder.
The officialdom seems not as easy as I imagined.
On April 1st of the tenth year of Zhengtong, Chen Yichen wore a sixth-rank civil servant uniform and carefully sorted it out in front of the bronze mirror. After confirming that nothing had made any mistakes, he left the other courtyard to prepare for the first time in his life.
However, when he walked out of the Duke's mansion, he found that Duke Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong's carriage was still there and did not leave early as usual.
Just when he was a little surprised, Duke Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong also walked out of the mansion, stood in front of Shen Yichen and looked at him for a few seconds, then reached out to help him tidy up his clothes.
Faced with Zhu Yong's actions, Chen Yichen subconsciously took a step back, his movements full of defense.
Seeing this scene, Duke Cheng Guoguo Zhu Yong was stunned. After a long time, he slowly lowered his hand and said, "Today you can go to court with me."
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Yichen to answer, he went straight into the carriage.
Go to court together?
Chen Yichen didn't know why Zhu Yong made this request, but Butler Wu came over and said something with emotion.
"I guess the father is proud of Mr. Chen who can personally send his son to court for the first time."
Will it be?
Chapter completed!
