Chapter 117
Promote the Officials in the Imperial Street
Qin Zhichu was standing expressionlessly. As the new top student, he was neglected. This scene made him more clearly realize the necessity of staying away from the capital.
None of the civil and military officials dared to get close to him in front of the six major kingdoms. Once he had something to do, how could he expect someone to stand on his side? Or leave the capital as the best strategy.
At this moment, Yan Shiqi came over. He was the chief minister of the cabinet and the head of all officials. In terms of state affairs, even the princes and princes had to be controlled by him, so he didn't have to look at the faces of the six great dukes.
"Xi Yuan, congratulations. You are young, even if you win two yuan, you dare not say that you have never been there before, but it is rare in the world. You are a few years younger than when I was the top scorer back then. When I saw you, I remembered when I was young."
When people get old, they will inevitably become nostalgic. Even Yan Shiqi is an important official in the country, especially in these harmless things.
Qin Zhichu could not find any advantage except for his youth in front of Yan Shiqi. He quickly thanked: "My elder, you praised me. You won three yuan in a row back then, and you can be called an unprecedented person and no one comes later. How dare the students compete with you?"
Yan Shiqi smiled and said, "I am old and can't stay in my current position for a few days. In the future, you young people must assist the emperor and maintain long-term stability in our Great Zhou Dynasty. Xi Yuan, work hard, young people are not afraid of anything when they suffer some setbacks, and just get up after falling. Your Majesty will not treat loyal and willing ministers unfairly."
Officials from the Honglu Temple came over, "Yan Xiang, Zhuang Yuanlang and the others should change their clothes."
"Okay, Xiyuan, you go with me. After the clothes are updated, it's time to praise the officials on the street. The people in our capital are still waiting to see your new three-legged armored figure." Yan Shiqi smiled.
The top scholar, second-level scholar, Tanhua, is like a tripod with three legs, so people gave the world a nickname "Dingjia". Qin Zhichu and Sandingjia followed the officials of Honglu Temple to the side hall of Fengtian Hall, and under the service of several small eunuchs and palace maids, they changed their clothes.
First take off all the clothes on your body to the point where only a pair of shorts are left, change to the cotton mid-lane, and change to the mid-lane with Bai Sujuan texture.
The rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty were that only officials could wear silk clothes. Although this line was not strictly enforced among the people, scholars who were determined to participate in the imperial examinations did not dare to violate it. Qin Zhichu is now the top scholar in high school, so he naturally has the qualification to wear silk clothes legally.
The dark blue robe was replaced with a big red robe with black and blue silk robe. The big red robe was wrapped in a plain silver belt, and the medicine jade pendant was hung on it, and a red gauze bag was covered. The big ribbon was tied with two ribbon rings and a blue silk mesh was formed. The feet were pedaled with a pair of brand new green-edged red satin cloud-headed shoes. The fluorene plate in the hand was not replaced, but the original one was still the same.
Another palace maid brought a pair of silver hairpins with golden plates, decorated with green feathers, and a piece of gold and silver medal, with three words embedded in gold wire, "Enrong Banquet".
The palace maid put a flower hairpin and a silver medal on the black hat and put it on Qin Zhichu's head.
At this point, the first prize winner was completed. At the same time, No. 1 and Tanhua also changed their clothes, but they had a flower on their heads, with No. 1 being inserted on the left side of the black hat and Tanhua on the right side. The characters on the silver medal were embedded with silver wire.
When Qin Zhichu and others finished changing their clothes, someone brought a bronze mirror to ask them to see it. Qin Zhichu looked at the mirror and felt quite satisfied.
If you have a drink today, you will be drunk now. Anyway, you will definitely be the top scorer in high school. I will praise you first.
The top scorer in high school is a matter of glorious family and glorious ancestors. Many people can’t wait for a big happy event. You must be more happy. As for how to leave Beijing, it’s not too late to think about it again.
Qin Zhichu changed into a smile and walked out of the side hall gate. At the second place, Tanhua hurriedly followed, and several cabinet ministers led by Yan Shiqi followed closely and personally sent them out of the Meridian Gate.
Outside the Meridian Gate, Zhang Zongchang, the Minister of Rites, had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Qin Zhichu and the others coming out, he hurriedly came over and followed Qin Zhichu and others behind him and sent them to Chengtian Gate.
I saw a mat shed in Chengtian Gate with reed mats. The Renchen Sect Golden List was hung inside the shed, with the names of 300 new Jinshis written on it, and Qin Zhichu's name ranked first.
The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, Jingnan and Jingdong each held a tall horse with solid color, red and colorful colors, waiting outside the mat. Seeing Qin Zhichu and others coming, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture personally put a cross on Qin Zhichu and red, and a big red flower on his chest. He also helped Qin Zhichu get on the horse and handed him the whip.
Qin Zhichu thanked the prefect and looked apologized. Shuntian Prefect is a senior official with the third rank. Only a small part of them do this today is to give Qin Zhichu the new top scholar, and more to obey the court's laws. If Qin Zhichu was too arrogant and thought he could not afford it, he would offend this third rank boss. He might even wear some small shoes when he turned around.
At this time, Chang'an Street outside Chengtian Gate was already crowded with people in the capital, including scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, men, women, young and old. If the Imperial Army soldiers had not stopped them, they would have all rushed into Chengtian Gate.
Now is the time for the top scholar to praise the streets and celebrate together, so the Imperial Guard did not drive away these people, but just told them not to get too close to Chengtian Gate.
Han Qingshi got up a little late today. He originally wanted to give Qin Zhichu a sense of beauty, but he didn't expect that when he arrived, Qin Zhichu had just entered the palace. He and Li Yuling would be together.
Han Qingshi was quite experienced and pulled Li Yuling to stand directly opposite Chengtian Gate. As long as someone came out of Chengtian Gate, he could see it at a glance.
"Brother Han, do you think my brother will definitely win the No. 1 pick?" Li Yuling asked nervously.
Han Qingshi clenched his fists, his palms were covered in sweat, "Yes, my brother will definitely be the top scorer."
Just as everyone was looking forward to it, suddenly, the drums and music in Chengtian Gate were rumbling. Everyone in the capital knew what this meant, and the new top scholar was about to come out.
Everyone quickly stood on tiptoe and looked towards Chengtianmen, hoping to see the top scholar clearly as soon as possible.
I saw that on the Golden Water Bridge in front of Chengtian Gate, several generals of Tianwu with golden helmets and golden armors and holding golden axes appeared first. Behind them was Zhang Zongchang, the Minister of Rites riding on horseback. Then there were two people wearing red colored chariots and carrying chariots on their shoulders. There was a Panlong Gold List on the chariot, which was written on it. The list of 300 Jinshi in the Renchen Certificate, and there was also a jade seal on the lower left side of the list. The main purpose of Zhang Zongchang's accompanying was to escort this Panlong Gold List.
