Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 561 Hanlin Qinggui (Part [-])
The doctor of Wenxuan Division is named Wang Zhoushao, a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing.His tutor is Li Chunfang. Generally speaking, it is unlikely that it will be his turn to be the doctor of the Wenxuan Cleaning Department, but he is relatively impartial, and he is appreciated by Emperor Mu Zong. After the disbandment of the museum, Gao Gong used him as the head of the Department of Examinations of the Ministry of Officials, and later he was promoted to Yuanwailang. After Guo Pu succeeded Gao Gong, he became a doctor of the Department of Kaogong. , It can be said that it was a moment of glory, but at this moment when he met Gao Yushi and the other three, he didn't have the airs just now.

It turned out that Wang Zhoushao was from Huayin, Shaanxi. His hometown was separated from Zhang Siwei's hometown of Puzhou by the Yellow River, and he had a half friendship with Gao Yushi, Zhang's nephew of Puzhou.So when Wang Zhoushao saw Gao Yushi, he said enthusiastically: "I heard that Zhuangyuan Lang won the first prize in six titles. We and other Beibang officials are all proud! To tell the truth, many Beibang officials want to get closer to Zhuangyuan Lang, or else Another day I will hold a banquet in Wanglonglou to celebrate Zhuangyuan Lang, I wonder if Zhuangyuan Lang will be willing to honor him?"

Gao Wushi knew that such entertainment was indispensable after becoming an official. Most of these things were not his turn in the past, but it would be rude not to go now. Although he does not need to rely heavily on the official department, his contemporaries still need them--you can't do anything Everything is done through the teacher Guo Pu, who is a teacher, not an official.

Besides, Wang Langzhong said that "many Beibang officials" wanted to see him, so it must be meaningful. Gao Yushi himself was born in Beibang, so of course he had to accept it.

So Gao Wushi agreed, and Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan were also invited, but Wang Tingzhuan could agree because he and this Wang Langzhong were both from Shaanxi, and Xiao Liangyou had no choice but to politely decline. That's right - he is from Huguang, so it's not suitable to join a group of Beibang officials.

After the three of them registered their official certificates and resumes, they received their official uniforms.

Official uniforms are divided into court uniforms, official uniforms, ordinary uniforms, and swallow uniforms, which have different functions, but the most common ones are official uniforms and ordinary uniforms.

The so-called official uniforms are those worn during the imperial court, and those of the fourth rank and above are considered high-ranking officials among the more than 2 officials of the Ming Dynasty.

The fifth to seventh ranks wear green, while the eighth and ninth ranks wear green. Gao Yushi used to specially wear green before, and he didn’t have to wear it after he resigned. But now he has edited and edited for the Imperial Academy. From the sixth grade, wearing a blue robe with a regimental collar, decorated with small miscellaneous flowers, and a black horn leather belt, it can be regarded as wearing green again.

The regular clothes are worn when sitting in the office on weekdays. They are green robes in the shape of a tuan-collar shirt, with gold embroidery of four-clawed dragons and pythons on the hem, and egrets embroidered on the patches.As for the official uniforms of Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan, they are also exactly the same as Gao Yushi's, but the regular uniforms are different, there is no four-clawed dragon python on the hem of the garments, and Xi Chi is embroidered on the patches.

The gold embroidered four-clawed dragon and python on the official robes is the treatment for officials above rank six, but not for rank seven and below.

In fact, Gao Yushi has the big red silk flying fish suit given by the emperor, which does not have to be returned after resigning from office. In theory, he can still wear it, but it would seem too ostentatious, so he will definitely not wear it now.

Before leaving, Wang Zhoushao also politely said to the three of them: "The three of you will be free in the future, you might as well come to meet me for tea and chat more often. I am also very looking forward to being able to communicate with Sandingjia more."

Looking at the line of officials waiting for Wang Zhoushao to meet outside, the three of them knew that this was a polite remark, and they must not take it seriously. Even if Wang Langzhong was really interested in chatting, he and Gao Yushi were probably the only one, but they still said politely: " Thank you Quan Cao."

After coming out of the Ministry of Officials, the three of them were considered officials, and after complimenting and joking with each other, they went to Shang Baosi to get the official tooth badge.

Official dental badges are always only available to Beijing officials, and they were assigned by the imperial court during the imperial court. However, Gao Yushi had a dental plaque back then, which was specially made by the late Emperor Longqing. It was a silver medal, because Gao Yushi was young at the time. , the silver medal is not easy to damage, and it has already been returned to the palace.

At present, the high-practice dental plaque is an ordinary standard, with cloud patterns carved on the upper button, and the three characters "Hanlin Yuan" in regular script are engraved horizontally on the front, which refers to the Yamen where Gao Pragmatic works, and the two characters "Xiuzhuan" are engraved vertically in regular script. Highly pragmatic official titles have a unified format on the back, with 26 characters written "Courtary officials carry this card, and those without a card will be punished according to the law.

Since it is an ordinary tooth plate, it is relatively easy to damage, so the Beijing officials during the imperial court always hang the tooth plate on the left waist, and then wrap it in a bag, which is very cherished.Thinking back, it was more convenient to use that silver dental plaque back then...

After receiving their official uniforms and tooth cards, the three of them should report to the Imperial Academy, but according to the rules they heard before, this time they can't be the three of them together, and Gao Yushi should be the first to go as the number one scholar.

The Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Officials are on East Chang'an Avenue, just two blocks away, next to Yuhe and the Imperial City, and next door is the Siyi Pavilion.In fact, he has been an official in the Hanlin Academy for nearly ten years, but it is a pity that he came rarely, and he has never been promoted...

Gao Yushi returned home and put on his regular clothes, that is, the cyan official gown with gold embroidered four-clawed dragon python, the heron patch, and the black gauze hat on his head. Back to Qingpao."

From now on, you will wear this suit when sitting in the yamen and doing business. As for the dental badge, you don’t need it when you are not in court, but you must always wear it on your body. on the leather belt at the waist.

Putting on the official robe that he got through his own examination, Gao Yushi is no longer the close minister of the prince who relied on the care of his uncle and holy family.Self-cultivation, family regulation, state governance, and world peace, now I can be regarded as successful in self-cultivation and family regulation, and I have begun to step into the step of governing the country.

However, this idea is also hypocritical. Although he Gao did not "govern the country" before, but thinking about it carefully, the impact is really not small.

On the day when an official takes office, there is a lot of red tape.Before Gao Wushi arrived at the courtyard, he sent someone to inform him. When he arrived at the courtyard, Zeng Chaojie, the editor and editor, came out to greet him and acted as the leading officer.When they met, Zeng Chao Jiexian nodded in a friendly and pragmatic manner.

Zeng Chaojie was the No. 210 scholar in the fifth year of Wanli. This is different from the original history. The reason is that in history, Shen Maoxue, the No.As for the second place, Zhang Sixiu, the son of Zhang Juzheng in history, is now Song Xiyao.

Gao Wushi entered the gate of the courtyard, first went to the right corridor to enclose the door, and went to the Temple of Saints to worship, and paid four prostrations to the most holy teacher, and then went to Changli Temple to worship, and paid two prostrations.This Changli Temple enshrines none other than Han Yu, the head of the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties", and Changli is Han Yu's hometown.

It is also interesting to say that the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty all had Changli Temple. Although Han Yu never entered the Imperial Academy in his life, his articles were respected as a model by the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty.

After worshiping the two temples, go out of the right corridor and enter through the Dengying Gate.After Dengying Gate is the inner hall, which is as wide as five couplets facing south. The west of the hall is the lecture and reading hall, and the east of the hall is the review hall.

The Lecture and Reading Hall is the public office where the six grades serve as attendants and attend lectures. The Hanlin attendees and attendants are called lecturers.As for the review hall, also known as the Xiujian hall, it is a public office where the revision from the sixth rank, the revision from the seventh rank, and the review from the seventh rank are seated.

Zeng Chaojie led three people, Gao Yushi, to the review hall, and the subordinate officials in the review hall below went to the hall to meet.

The subordinate officials are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. The first to see is the official, that is, the official on duty, and has the highest status among the officials.

Today is the day when the new official of the Hanlin master takes office, and all the officials in the hall who are on duty or not are here to pay homage.

Gao Wushi sat on the public seat, and the six of them saluted together and said, "I pay my respects to Master Xiuzhuan."

Then implement the four-prayer ceremony to the high-ranking officials.The next to the official is the posting official, that is, the scribe of the yamen, who also pays four respects.The third is the hall class, that is, the hall servants are called, and the four prostrations are still performed.The last is the door official, who has the lowest status, even worse than an official, and performs the ceremony of kowtow.

On the left side of the entrance to the review hall is the historian's seat, and on the right side is the place where classics and historical books are stored, as well as the office of the official.There are about [-] public cases in the hall. This is where the Hanlin people work, and to the west is the public case where the officials are posted.

The highly pragmatic koan is the sixth in the second row.He went to his seat and sat down, and first handed over the seal to the official for safekeeping, and then called it out when he needed the seal.There are four treasures of the study room on the official case, but it is an open office environment on all sides.

Gao Yushi had worked in the Imperial Academy for almost ten years before, but he had never been to this office. He thought that now that he was an official official of the Imperial Academy, he should have a small private room to work. Think too much, let alone a private office, there is not even a partition, the office environment is not as good as the white-collar workers of later generations.

Then Zeng Chaojie led a class to talk to Gao Wushi and said: "Gao Xiuzhuan, the officials in this court are always ordered by an official. This person is quite diligent in his hands and feet. According to the orders of the head of the court, he will be assigned to you. .”

After finishing speaking, Zeng Chaojie frowned at the official and said, "This is the champion of the new department, the six-headed champion hand-picked by Wansui Yubi today as the 'true leader in the past 200 years', it is your several lifetimes of cultivation to be able to follow him Blessings, you need to be careful in serving and serving the errands, and you must not be contemptuous, if there is something wrong, the courtyard rules to serve you!"

The famous class hastily bowed down and said: "The elder is here, the villain dare not. The villain Liu He pays homage to the number one scholar."

Gao Wushi took a careful look at him, and felt that this person seemed to be quite honest in appearance, so he nodded slightly in his heart.In the future, this person will be regarded as doing business with him, serving tea and water, and he can be regarded as his full-time secretary.

However, officials have never looked down on these officials, so Gao Yushi didn't put on an appearance of being close to the people. Instead, he lowered his status, so he said nonsense like you have to be honest with yourself.

Liu He looked obedient and obedient, then Zeng Chaojie gave Gao Wushi a wink, and Gao Wushi knowingly rewarded Liu He with half a tael of silver from his sleeve.Liu He didn't expect Gao Wushi to be so generous, and after receiving the money, he looked very grateful.

Zeng Chaojie nodded, motioned Liu He to retreat, then smiled and said to Gao Wushi: "I will meet with the head of the academy later, I heard that there is an errand for you."

Gao Wushi was a little surprised. I just got here, so I have an errand?
