Chapter One Hundred and Seven Officials

On March 20, the fifth year of Chongzhen, the hour of Mao.

Su Tiancheng and many Jinshi stood outside the Forbidden City, waiting for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to enter the palace.

He had no new feelings anymore. If the first time was to feel mystery and glory, the second time was a familiar process. As for the third time and fourth time, it was to repeat the previous process. Palace examinations, the ceremony of the rituals, the Ministry of Rites taught etiquette, etc., he entered the Forbidden City several times. As a time traveler, his psychological endurance is definitely stronger than others.

Su Tiancheng's main energy is already on the road after he was appointed as an official.

If you enter the Hanlin Academy, you still need to continue to work hard and strive to be exiled as an official within one year. If you are exiled directly, you need to get familiar with the superiors and subordinates as soon as possible, create the best environment, and then perform your skills.

Yesterday at the Honglu Temple, Chen Yutai and Wu Weiye both believed that they had entered the Hanlin Academy. When they were talking to them, they were already hinting that after entering the Hanlin Academy, they would strengthen their contact with each other. It seems that this practice of forming cliques exists at any time.

Su Tiancheng urgently needed to avoid such situations, so the thought of being out of touch is particularly strong.

At the second hour of Mao, officials from the Ministry of Rites led everyone into the Forbidden City and came directly to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

There is not so much etiquette this time.

Everyone was still standing behind civil and military officials.

At the time of Chen, the emperor arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony and everyone performed the ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.

"The emperor has an order to see Chen Yutai, the top scholar in Xuanxin, Su Tiancheng, and Wu Weiye, the second-level scholar in Xuanxin, and the second-level scholar in Tanhua, went to the palace to meet..."

Soon, officials from the Honglu Temple took three people out and walked towards the main entrance of the Taihe Hall.

When they arrived at the door, the Jinyiwei led the three people into the hall. In the hall, officials of the third rank and above in the court were already standing inside. The civil servants stood on the left, Zhou Yanru was in the front, and the military officers stood on the right.

Those who were able to enter the hall and directly meet the emperor were the three people in the palace test head armor.

According to the rules, being able to participate in the palace examination is considered a disciple of the emperor, but there are big differences here. The real disciple of the emperor, that is, the three first-class students, were selected by the emperor's emperor's imperial pen, and the remaining second-class and third-class students were mostly determined by cabinet ministers.

Entering the hall and walking two meters away, Chen Yutai spoke.

"Student Chen Yutai was a new Jinshi, and he was a Jinshi. He paid a visit to the emperor. Long live the emperor."

Su Tiancheng was on the right side of Chen Yutai, and Wu Weiye was on the left side of Chen Yutai. As Chen Yutai spoke, both of them knelt down. This is how Honglu Temple taught.

The ceremony of kneeling three times and knocking nine times has been done more than three times, and Su Tiancheng has long been numb.

"Flat..."

Zhu Youjian's voice was very soft and had some magnetic properties. Damn it. I don't know how many women I've fascinated with such a voice.

After getting up, Chen Yutai took out the prepared verses and began to read them loudly.

This verse was completed by Chen Yutai alone. Su Tiancheng and Wu Weiye have read it, but they have not put forward any suggestions for revisions. Neither of them is very interested in this kind of official documents.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yutai finished reciting the poems, and the next ceremony was that the emperor gave Chen Yutai the top scholar's tutu, crown and belt. This honor was only watched by Su Tiancheng and Wu Weiye.

The hall was very quiet. For some reason, Zhu Youjian did not speak according to the procedures. The eunuch on the side was holding a crown and uniform in his hand and had been waiting for a long time.

"Su Tiancheng, I ordered you to write a poem on the main hall."

Su Tiancheng's scalp was numb. What does this mean? Why did Zhu Youjian not follow the etiquette and ask himself to recite poems here. In the hall, the emperor spoke, which was the imperial edict. He had to do so. He would never disobey the imperial edict.

Seeing Su Tiancheng a little dazed, Chen Yutai gently touched his arm.

Su Tiancheng immediately knelt down.

"The students felt the power of heaven and were a little disobedient. I beg the emperor to forgive me."

"Haha, I forgive you for being innocent. I can't get up and talk, and write poems on my knees."

After standing up, Su Tiancheng thought for a moment, then spoke.

"The student wrote a song "Untitled", a straw raincoat, a hat, a small boat, a silk fog, a hook, a song and a bottle of wine, and a person fishing alone in the autumn river."

Wu Weiye's face turned a little red. If it weren't for being in the hall, he would have applauded, especially the last sentence, one person fished alone in the autumn river, showing a desirable artistic conception.

The civil and military ministers in the hall whispered and rated this poem.

This is a poem that completely describes the scenery. It should be said that writing such a poem here is in line with the atmosphere.

"Well, it's not bad. I'm capable of writing such a poem in such a short time. I ask you to write another poem and show your ambitions."

Su Tiancheng's body shook slightly, and showed his ambitions on the hall. Isn't it crazy and unlimited? However, Zhu Youjian asked that he would not be able to do so if he did not obey the order.

In the hall, it became quiet again, and everyone looked at Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng blinked, raised his head, and looked at Zhu Youjian on the Golden Palace. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youjian had a smile on his face and was also looking at him.

Su Tiancheng's move was a bit rude, but no one spoke in the hall. In a short period of time, it was too difficult to write two poems. If Su Tiancheng had no surprise talent, he would never be able to do it, especially the poems that needed to show his ambitions, it would be too deep or shallow. It would be really hard to write.

"Students follow the order."

"The poems of Li and Du have been passed down through the ages, but they are still not new. There are talented people in the country and have led the way for hundreds of years."

In the hall, there was no longer any silence. Su Tiancheng's poem showed extraordinary courage, especially the last two lines. There were talents in the country and the country, and each had been in charge for hundreds of years. It was a great spirit, and it was also a praise to the emperor.

"Haha, okay, good, good, good, there are talented people in the country who have emerged, and they all have been in charge for hundreds of years."

Zhu Youjian actually stood up and walked a few steps above the Golden Palace.

"I am very happy that Su Aiqing is very literary."

Wang Chengen, who was standing next to him, whispered a reminder. Zhu Youjian realized that today's ceremony was not over yet and there was still something to do.

Soon, Chen Yutai accepted the court uniform and crown belt of the top scholar, but his face lacked a happy expression. Although Su Tiancheng's poem was requested by the emperor, today's limelight belongs to the second place, and he, the top scholar, has become a foil.

It's finally time to be appointed as an official.

Zhou Yanru announced the imperial edict on behalf of the people, and Chen Yutai, Su Tiancheng and Wu Weiye knelt down again.

"The emperor ordered the emperor to say..."

“…I am hereby granted the editor of Chen Xinjia Hanlin Academy…”

“…I will be awarded the magistrate of Jiangning County, Zhili, Nanzhili..."

“…This is hereby awarded to Wu Weiye Hanlin Academy for editing…”

The hall was quiet again, and the second-class new student was released directly. This is something that has never been heard of.

The look at Su Tiancheng became a little strange. The new subject has a long-term future. And two poems have been written on the hall. With such ability, if you stay in the capital and go to the generals and ministers, it is just a matter of time. Why should you release it? The difference between a capital official and a local official is very big. Even if you have great talents, you will be quickly submerged when you go to the local area.

Many civil and military ministers cannot understand this truth.

Not to mention your ministers, even Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren are not very clear.

They all offered olive branches to Su Tiancheng, but they didn't expect that this kid would actually let him go. Isn't this intentional avoidance? But from another aspect, this kid is also very smart.

Chen Yutai never expected that the appointment of an official was actually arranged like this. For a moment, he didn't know what he was thinking. Although the magistrate of Jiangning County was of the sixth rank, there was still a gap compared with the editors of the seventh rank of Hanlin Academy. The development path of editors was completely different. They were always around the emperor and were exposed to cabinet ministers, as well as the Minister of the Sixth Ministry and the Censorate, and the Chief Minister of the Imperial College. The level was completely different. The next step to enter the Sixth Ministry was expected, and then they could even become the governor of a province.

As for the six ministers, ministers, and cabinets, they are the path to development.

But thinking about the position of Jiangning County as a magistrate, and fighting to the position of governor, it is like reaching the sky, not to mention the subsequent development.

Why is this?

Wu Weiye's idea was a bit extreme. He even believed that this was something in the court, and some people were jealous of Su Tiancheng's talent and knowledge, so Su Tiancheng was released. Just imagine how noble it was to be able to enter the Hanlin Academy, and always receive the attention of the emperor and contact the cabinet ministers, and they will definitely shine.

Now that Su Tiancheng is unfamiliar with local things, and thinking about making achievements is not a simple matter.

The two poems written by Su Tianhao in the hall just now shocked Wu Weiye again. He even decided not to mention poetry in front of Su Tiancheng. What is the occasion today? Such a depressing and tense place, Su Tiancheng can calmly write excellent poems. Such a ability can't catch up with it.

Those who entered the hall were all ministers of the third rank or above in the court, and ghostly wise figures. Although everyone was surprised by this arrangement, they would never give any comments at will. These are the things that were given to the matter.
