Prime Minister

Chapter 360 What position does Yue confer?

Jiayou seven years, March.

Zhang Yue called for an examination in the Academy.

After daybreak, Zhang Yue got up early, and Shi Qi Niang personally waited for him to fetch noodle soup for Zhang Yue to freshen up.After washing up, Mother Chen brought rice porridge, eggs, buns, side dishes and soup.

Before getting married, Zhang Yue only had two or three dishes for breakfast, but since Shi Qiniang married into Zhang's family, Zhang Yue can eat more than five dishes every day.

For example, buns were bought by the envoys early in the morning near Qingfeng Tower.

Among the female envoys brought by Shi Qi Niang, two or three were in the kitchen, and one of them was even good at cooking tea and rice.Mama Chen has been in the Wu Mansion for many years, so she knows how much more food and clothing are spent than ordinary people, so it is not a problem to buy food.

No wonder there is a saying in Bianjing, 'It is better to marry a slave of a big family than a daughter of a small family'.

Zhang Yue ate a little bit of each dish, and Shi Qiniang saw that Zhang Yue had almost eaten, and then went to see if Zhang Shiyu had woken up, and brought them meals.

Zhang Yue didn't delay after dinner, tidied up and went outside the middle gate to see Tang Jiu and Zhang Gong had already set up the carriage and waited for him to go out.

Zhang Yue got into the car and went straight to the academy.The exams are usually held in Zhongshu, Sherenyuan, Academy, and Guozijian, but nowadays officials generally choose to take exams in the Academy.

After entering the imperial city, Zhang Yue entered the academy, and the official invited him to rest in a side room.

But I saw that there were already two people waiting here in the room.

Zhang Yue looked at the faces of the two, but both of them knew him. He got up and smiled, "Duke Zhuangyuan!"

Zhang Yuezhi and Zhang Yuezhi were people who went to the museum with him for the exam, so he couldn't help asking: "Excuse me for my clumsy eyes, who are you two?"

The two have common names, one is Dou Bian and the other is Luo Kai.

Zhang Yue suddenly realized that they were the No.2 and No.3 of Jiayou's second-year Jinshi.

After the three exchanged pleasantries, Dou Bian laughed and said, "We can be said to be like brothers with Ziping. Back then, Ziping had said that he had a relative who would become famous in the future. We asked who he was, but he refused to say. At that time, we all speculated that it was Zhang Zihou, but it wasn't until last year that we were the top two, and then we realized that Ziping was talking about you."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

After Luo Kaizhong became a Jinshi, he was awarded the Dali Temple to judge affairs, and passed the judgment of Jizhou. A few years later, he moved to Dali Temple.

But the library job test is poetry and fu.But Luo Kai is a supporter of Ouyang Xiu's ancient prose movement, and believes that only strategy theory can show the level of an examinee.

Now the Academy of Poetry and Fu has to test the red tape, so I sighed, "It is lost to use Fu to get scholars, and it is almost impossible to use Fu to test posts." In the end, Luo Kai lost his rhyme in the exam and was dismissed. This year he had to go to Bianjing Take the pavilion exam again.

Dou Bian's experience is similar. He suppressed the rebellion when he was in Ruzhou, and this time he was also recommended for a post in the museum.

In words, the two of them were very envious of Zhang Yue.

There are several ways to take part in the Pavilion Examination, one is to submit papers, the other is to recommend, mainly these second-class, and there are also those who die without passing the exam, but this must be due to special grace and meritorious deeds, or the provincial supervisory department. long term.

But the more different the chapters are, the more special the chapters are.

This is very rare. For example, in the first year of Ming Dao, the officials ordered Hu Su, Song Qi and other seven people to take the exam in the Academy of Sciences.This time Zhang Yue also received a special order, that is to say, the recommender is the emperor, which is a kind of grace that is different from ordinary people.

After a while, a little official said: "The two internal officials have arrived, you go and see."

Zhang Yue and others immediately cheered up and went to the hall.

But I saw two Hanlin scholars sitting on chairs, they were Wang Gui and Fan Zhen.

In fact, there are five Hanlin bachelors in the Hanlin Academy, the other three, like Jia An, have now gone to Kaifeng Mansion, and the other Wu Kui has just been promoted to the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and Cai Xiang is now the third envoy.

It is impossible for these three people to preside over the exam because they are busy with official duties.

From this, Zhang Yue was also very emotional. The Imperial Academy is an internal system, and when the official position reaches the internal system, in addition to being able to accompany him often, he has officially entered the reserve team of Zaifu.

Hanlin scholars and Zhongshu Scheeren both called internal system and external system. It is the dream of civil servants to reach this step, but to implement the two systems, one must first enter the pavilion.

Wang Gui is a scholar of the Imperial Academy, with the highest status. He was also the chief examiner in the Zhangyue Provincial Examination. Fan Zhen is also an old acquaintance.

When Zhang Yue got married, both of them were invited, but neither Wang Gui nor Fan Zhen came.

The reason why Wang Gui didn't arrive was to avoid suspicion, so he took Zhang Yue to be second in the provincial test.Because the officials of the Song Dynasty were very taboo about the relationship between the master and his disciples, Wang Gui was unable to come to the door to congratulate him purely because of his lack of power.

As for Fan Zhen, he is dissatisfied with his son-in-law Wu Anshi.

Two examiners and three candidates, this is the lineup for the Bachelor's College Examination.

Wang Gui asked for the imperial examination questions, each of the Imperial Academy drafted a question and handed it to the officials for review, like Jia An, Cai Xiang and the others, although they did not preside over the examination, they also participated in the proposition.

The officials decided the exam questions from the submissions of several imperial officials before handing them over to the Academy of Sciences. In addition, the exams of the Academy of Sciences were the same as the provincial exams, and the examiners had to go through the lock court.

After the three of them sat down in the hall, the exam question rolls that had overshadowed the Imperial Treasure were presented on the table.Zhang Yue looked at the title and there were two questions in total, one was about poetry and the other was about theory.

It can be regarded as a compromise compared with last year's bachelor's college exam, which was purely based on poetry and prose.

Wang Gui ordered the officials to light incense sticks and said, "The three of you can answer now."

Zhang Yue picked up his pen in response, and he had a draft in his heart, so he started to answer the questions.

In the past six years, he has taken countless exams along the way, and he has just experienced the all-encompassing system of exams, and he is at the peak of his exam status.And even during the period when the emperor bestowed the marriage, Zhang Yue still read for two hours every morning after getting up, and never slack off.

This is also the reason why he knew that there would be a bachelor's college exam.

The sun shines through the window in front of the desk, Zhang Yue concentrates on answering the test paper, and soon the sunlight gradually shifts away, at this moment, he heard the sound of the chair, it turned out that Dou Bian got up to hand in the test paper.

Zhang Yue heard that Dou Bian was talented, and in the second year of Jiayou's reign, he was ranked first in the imperial examinations.Dou Bian, who can surpass Su Shi, Su Zhe, and Zeng Gong, and ranks second in Jinshi, is also such an outstanding person.

Wang Gui and Fan Zhen looked at Dou Bian's article with joy.

It can be said that Dou Bian's handing in the paper had no effect on Zhang Yue, he still wrote his essay according to the rhythm of his imperial examination, and with the last stroke, Zhang Yue also finished the paper.

Immediately Zhang Yue took the paper and presented it to Wang Gui and Fan Zhen.

Wang Gui saw himself smiling gently, while Fan Zhen looked stern.

After roughly reading Zhang Yue's paper, Wang Gui said to Fan Zhen, "Du Zhi's writing is even better than last year's!"

Zhang Yue didn't hear this sentence, turned around and left after saluting, and Luo Kai had almost finished writing here.When he raised his head, Zhang Yue nodded to him and went out.

The college exams are over, and Zhang Yue goes home to wait for the news.

After the library examination, the examiner will rank the candidates according to their scores, and finally award the library post to those who pass.

Librarians are divided into three grades according to their seniority.

The highest ones are Jixian Palace Xiuzhuan, History Museum Xiuzhuan, Zhilongtu Pavilion, Zhizhao Wenguan, Zhishiguan, Zhijixianyuan, and Zhimi Pavilion.

The next ones are Jixian and Mige Xiaoli,
The worst thing is the collation of the pavilion and the review of the history museum.

I don't know what Zhang Yue can teach in the end?
