Chapter Four hundred and Fifty Seven: Granting Officials

The Ministry of Personnel divided the new Jinshi into two types. One is the Hanlin Shujishi. Generally, more than 30 people will be selected after each imperial examination and entered the Hanlin to study as the Shujishi. These people are what the people call Hanlin, and their future prospects are limitless.

The other type is the Guanzhengshi of various ministries. There are many such people. Almost except Shujishi, everyone will be assigned to each ministries as Guanzhengshi. After a year or two, if you are lucky, you can stay in the capital and serve as a small official. If you are not lucky, you may be sent directly to the local government as a county magistrate, county magistrate, or even chief clerk.

Of course, the division here is not just as simple as the exam ranking, but also takes into account your age. Sometimes even if you pass the second grade and are still among the top, but unfortunately you are too old, most of them are at risk of being called a polite political scholar. Appearance is also one of the factors that consider. After all, how can you enter the Hanlin area by stinging eyebrows, rat eyes, and mouse eyes? So if you can have a good appearance, look good and have a righteous look, you will often have obvious advantages.

Ye Chunqiu was naturally calm, but Ye Jing's position was a little awkward. He was in the division between Shujishi and Guanzhengshi. He was of moderate age and big, but he was not as white as his beard. He said that there were many young handsome men in this subject. Naturally, he looked good, but he did not have a beautiful beard. Most of the scholars in the cabinet have always had beautiful beards and thick beards, giving people a feeling of majesty and righteousness. If his beards are sparse, they will inevitably give people a feeling of no official appearance.

Fortunately, Ye Jing was indifferent. He had no intention of taking the imperial examination, but by chance he became a second-level Jinshi, which was particularly rare.

Dai Dabin was chatting and laughing with a Fujian Jinshi. When he saw Ye Chunqiu nodding at him with a meaningful meaning. The burnt yellow came, but he did not say hello to Ye Chunqiu. He seemed to be a little afraid of Ye Chunqiu, but there was a bit of arrogance in his eyes.

As he was speaking, a polite official stepped forward and said, "All the Jinshis are in charge and will be in the heavenly official."

Everyone was straightened, headed by Ye Chunqiu, and entered one after another. When they entered the main hall of the Ministry of Personnel, they saw Zhang Cai sitting upright. Everyone saluted. Zhang Caisheng was also handsome and looked at everyone with a majestic look. Then he tried a few words and finally his eyes fell on Ye Chunqiu: "Ye Chunqiu, I have heard of your name for a long time, but it is said that you are competitive in the market. Is there any such thing?"

When I was a student, the school officials were in charge of the student, but now that as an official, the fate of the official is in the hands of the Ministry of Personnel.

After hearing Zhang Cai's words, Ye Chunqiu slowly came out, crossed his hands and said, "Young officials in the lower level will not be up to you, so please follow the instructions of the heavenly officials."

Zhang Cai originally planned to take advantage of the problem, but he expected that Ye Chunqiu's attitude was sincere, so it was difficult to pursue it. He just smiled and said, "It's great to know the mistakes and be able to correct them. Remember it."

He seemed too lazy to say anything, so he winked at the head of the hall official, who said, "Please ask all the Jinshi to go to the Wenxuan Qing official."

Everything here must be well-behaved. Someone led the way and took the mighty Jinshi to the government office of the workshop on the left, and then asked everyone to wait on the porch. Then someone said, "Ye Chunqiu."

Ye Chunqiu stepped forward, his steps were steady and his face was calm. An official led him into the hall. A doctor sat on the desk, spreading the paper out, and said meticulously: "Who is under the seat?"

Ye Chunqiu replied: "The lower official Ye Chunqiu."

The man wrote down the paper and then said, "Geometry in the year."

After asking one by one, he put the pen with black ink and replaced it with a red pen, and then said, "Ye Chunqiu, you are ranked first in the subject today, the top scholar in the 1st year, and you are actually a Hanlin editor. You are from the sixth rank." While he said, he took the red note and finally picked up the seal of the Ministry of Personnel beside him and covered it hard. In this way, Ye Chunqiu recorded the file. The doctor stood up and said seriously: "Ye Cheng, congratulations."

Hanlin compilation is definitely the highest starting point for new officials. According to the unwritten rules of the Ming Dynasty, the top scholar was directly awarded to Hanlin compilation of the sixth rank, while the second-ranked second-rank, Tanhua, was directly awarded to Hanlin compilation of the seventh rank. In addition, a group of young and promising Jinshi will be selected among the second-rank and third-rank Jinshi. Shujishi is not awarded a real official, which is quite meaningful to let you intern in the Hanlin Academy. However, most of the people who can enter are young heroes. In the past, the cabinets of the Ming Dynasty were mostly selected from Shujishi, so those who can enter Hanlin compilation, editors and Shujishi are called the prime minister and belong to the reserve elites of the court.

If an ordinary Shujishi is lucky and is not assigned to various departments or the Censorate, he may be awarded the position of seventh-rank editor in a few years. If he is lucky, he can stand out from the editor and become an editor in a few years.

This means that the young Ye Chunqiu saved six or seven years of qualifications in one step and stepped into the threshold of middle and low-level cadres of the Hanlin Academy with one kick.

Of course, these are common examples. Ye Chunqiu was prepared, so he hurriedly saluted the doctor and said, "Thank you, sir."

Then Ye Chunqiu was invited out, and then the second place and Tanhua Dai Dabin entered. Their fate was naturally destined. The Hanlin editor who was steady and steady, only when he reached the second and third-level Jinshi, it really depends on luck. If he could rank among the top in the second and second-level Jinshi, it would be better to rank among the top in the second-level, but the others would really be able to lie in luck, of course, and there were connections.

Ye Chunqiu was invited to wait. Soon, a clerk sent the official seal and the official uniform. The official seal was just a very small seal. Compared with the real large seal, it was a bit ashamed to be able to take advantage of it. As for this official uniform, not everyone has it. If an ordinary Jinshi did not become a Shujishi, there would generally be no so-called gifts. It was entirely bought by himself. Just ask people to cut them according to the imperial boudoir. Ye Chunqiu was placed in the Hanlin area, so according to custom, the emperor should give the emperor a garment. Generally, his grade was given a fifth-rank Qilin uniform, which was equivalent to a gift in the palace. Almost every Hanlin official had one, and Ye Chunqiu was the top scholar, so he had special courtesy. If it were others, he had to wear a tiger uniform.

Ye Chunqiu took it, but was anxiously waiting for Ye Jing's result. After some time, Dai Dabin and Zhu Tao, the second-level scholar, came. The three of them were both first-class Jinshi, and they had to exchange greetings. After that, someone came. When the three of them looked, they were actually Jiaohuangzhong. Jiaohuangzhong sat down with a calm look. Dai Dabin said, "Is Jiao Tongnian a Shujishi?"

When Dai Dabin asked, the browned face was a little unhappy.
