Chapter 1914: Unequal treatment

When everyone was about to be listed as the Jinshi list, they were excited and faced with this moment that would change the fate of many people.

Because there are too many people, the officers simply beat the gong and sang their names, so one name after another is pronounced. Occasionally, someone suddenly screams excitedly: "I've won, I've won."

The people in the city are excited, but more people are filled with tension and dare not speak out, for fear of missing the name, so everyone is sweating.

The Jinshi List was quickly finished, followed by the first-class juren. Zhang Shengyuan suddenly found that his face was hot. He suddenly realized that listening to this list was the same as when he was taking the eight-legged scholar. He also hoped that he could become one of the top students in the list.

In fact, before coming here, he thought that he would have a little contempt and even seemed to care. But now, he knew that he was wrong and he still cared. He still listened with his heart and did not dare to miss a name.

When he read the name Zhang, hope suddenly ignited in his heart, but when he was sure that it was not him, he suddenly became disappointed again.

Seeing that the juren was about to finish his chanting, he began to get irritated for no reason, feeling both unconfident and a little depressed.

But at this moment, the servant suddenly shouted, "Zhang Hongmin!"

call……

Zhang Shengyuan's eyes suddenly widened, and he seemed unable to breathe.

He is actually a first-class juren!

First-class juren are among the authentic juren. The court has clearly stipulated in the new system that all Jinshi will join the Hanlin area.

In other words, if you can pass the Jinshi, you will go to Hanlin without being divided into one or two grades. As a reserve senior official candidate, these people will definitely have a very optimistic future, so there is no need to say much.

The first-class juren were sent to various ministries to observe politics, which means that they would be assigned to six ministries to do odd jobs. After some time, they would be given eighth-rank official positions and went to various counties to serve as chief clerks, county magistrates and other officials.

The treatment of second-class juren was obviously much worse. They went directly to local prefectures and counties to observe politics, which was where they were interns. After the internship period, they were transferred to various counties and served as minor officials in the ninth rank.

Although he did not pass the Jinshi, Zhang Shengyuan was at least a first-class scholar. He has made so much effort on the road to studying and now he has finally become an official.

You know, even if he takes the eight-legged exam, he may not be able to guarantee that he will definitely win the exam.

But now, he has finally become an official, and he is finally worthy of his father and brother, his wife and children. A bright future is right in front of him, and the Zhang family... will change this way.

Just now, he finally relaxed for a long time, and naturally he was very happy and wanted to cheer, but at this time, he suddenly calmed down and walked out of the crowd in a low-key manner.

When I returned home, I saw that Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Wang looked anxious. It was obvious that they had been long since they were old.

When they saw him coming back, they had not opened their mouths yet. Zhang Shengyuan finally said as if he was proud: "I was a first-class juren. In a few days, I will go to the ministry to observe politics. After half a year, I will be released as an official and a county magistrate. I may also stay in Beijing, serving as a doctor of Taichang Temple or a recorder of Guanglu Temple. If I have good luck, the Zhaomo of the Censorate and the governor of the Tongzheng Department may also be. In short, the actual teachings are eighth-rank, father, and child..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but choke up, and then bowed to the ground and said, "The child has finally fulfilled his ancestors."

Zhang's father was already smiling happily. The new policy had made his family fall in love with him. Although his son was willing to continue to take the exam, he couldn't help but scold the new policy for harming people. But now, the troubles in his heart were immediately wiped out.

Zhang’s father’s mind is very simple. If he can become an official, he will achieve success. No matter whether he can get the exam by relying on eight-legged essays or something else, only after becoming an official can his son truly have a way out.

He said a few good things in joy, and then, naturally, someone called his neighbors to come together, and the house was decorated with lights and prepared to make a living.

The Zhang family is very lively, and Zhang Shengyuan felt a little worried. Looking back at these business and law schools, I felt that they were not that annoying.

However, the next day, someone came to Zhang's house, but it was Chen Shengyuan who had acquainted with Zhang Shengyuan.

Chen Shengzheng was angry, obviously because he came to ask for punishment. He stared at Zhang Shengzheng and said angrily: "Zhang Hongmin, you are shameless. What did you say at the beginning? Everyone agreed to never go to the scientific examination. You are so good, you actually went to the examination privately. Are you still a disciple of a saint? Where did you read your saint's book?"

He scolded loudly without any mercy.

Chen Shengren's anger is completely understandable. Many people in the school went to the exam, and there was also a Jinshi, and he was a person who did not do good job in eight-legged articles. He thought it was ridiculous and felt that the court had actually won such a fool. But when he knew that even Zhang Hongmin had taken the exam, he clearly remembered how Zhang Hongmin scolded the eight-legged articles for reform, but now it's good, and he actually took the exam. It's really shameless.

Zhang Hongmin was very ashamed. He had the best relationship with Chen Shengjun and was usually called brothers. Moreover, he felt that he was indeed in the wrong, so he was scolded so much that he dared not look up or refute him. He just smiled bitterly: "It's just for the sake of a livelihood."

"Shameless!" Chen Shengyuan sneered: "You are the first-class juren in the eyes of people, but in the eyes of people, you actually...hem... since then, you and I... have cut off your robe and have no right."

This quarrel left a haze in Zhang Hongmin's heart and diluted his joy in the victory.

He simply hid at home and did not leave the door. When the days arrived, he realized that he had been assigned to the Ministry of Revenue to observe politics. He hurriedly went there and found that there were more than 30 people assigned to him, most of whom were young. After all, he was old and had limited energy and could no longer accept other knowledge. There were many scholars here who Zhang Hongmin thought were not motivated, but now they are like him, all of whom were first-class juren.

The Shangguans in the yamen obviously have a contemptuous attitude towards them, which is understandable. After all, these Shangguans are all from eight-legged essays and have taken the eight-legged essays, so they naturally feel that these people who have taken the miscellaneous essays are of low grade.
