Chapter 305： Chuan Lu Ceremony

Chapter 305: The Ceremony of the Passion

What came earlier than the decree to enter the palace was the ceremony of passing on the emperor.

Although the rankings of this imperial examination have been announced before, after the Chuanlu Ceremony, only those who have passed the imperial examination can find their own way to become officials.

On this day, the new scholars were all dressed in dark blue robes, Jinshi scarves on their heads, and holding scepter rulers in their hands. They were lined up neatly, waiting to bow down. Only Yijia and three others were different, wearing bright red robes.

As the number one scholar, the Jinshi scarf worn on his head is different, with two more silver hairpins.

After Gu Mingda changed his clothes, he saw Qin Jing, who was also wearing a red robe, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He felt that the person in front of him was shining like a jade flower, as if he had been banished to the world.

The second-place finisher on the side said with a smile: "Huaiyu, you are so good-looking. Even if you are walking down the street today, I don't know how many beautiful ladies will be saddened by your sorrow."

Qin Jing frowned slightly when he heard the compliment. He didn't like others to make fun of him all the time, but today was the ceremony for passing on the emperor, so even if he was angry, he couldn't express it.

Gu Mingda came to his rescue and said to No. 2: "Go out first, don't keep His Majesty and the adults waiting."

The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.

The Chuanlu Ceremony is actually a grand sacrificial ceremony.

After the long prayers, there is a roll call ceremony.

"Gu Mingda came first in the first-class examination of Enke Hall in the 19th year of Deqian's 1898 Reform!"

This sound was sung three times in succession before officials from the Ministry of Rites came to help and guided Gu Mingda up the imperial road, step by step.

Even though he knew he was the top pick three days ago, Gu Mingda still had the illusion that he was in a dream.

The official from the Ministry of Rites stopped in front, and Gu Mingda also paused. He had already been warned and knew what to do at this time.

Gu Mingda lifted up the hem of his clothes and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty Gu Mingda, I bow to the Emperor and thank you for your kindness."

After him is Qin Jing, the second best player in the rankings.

Only the first three people can get the honor. They can go forward along the royal road and kowtow to Tianyan.

The chief **** at the emperor's side was awarded an official title on the spot. Gu Mingda was awarded the sixth rank of Hanlin Academy as editor, and the second-ranked eunuch, Tanhua, was awarded the sixth rank of Hanlin Academy as editor.

There has always been a tradition in this dynasty that "non-Jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not join the cabinet". The starting point of the officialdom of the top three is one level higher than that of other Jinshi.

After them, people continued to roll call, and there were nearly a hundred people in the second class. Each person could do the roll call alone and had a chance to show his face alone.

But when it comes to the top three scholars and the Jinshi, they don't even have the chance to roll call, and they can only get the sentence "Three hundred people in the top three", which fully demonstrates the treatment of Mrs. Ru.

Although the second-level scholars were not conferred an official position, they could still enter the Hanlin Academy by taking the commoner examination. The third-level scholars did not even have the chance to enter the Hanlin Academy, so they could directly use all their connections to seek an official position in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, or stay in the Imperial Academy. Become a minor official in the capital, or be posted as a county magistrate.

After the roll call is over, there is a farewell drink.

At this time, every move of these new scholars was still guided by the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Gu Mingda had been warned in advance and was the first to stand up.

There are many rules for toasting to the emperor. Only when he saw the emperor pick up the wine glass with his own eyes could Gu Mingda shake his head and toast respectfully.

"Your Majesty, when the Five Blessings gather, I respectfully apply the tin, and the Spring Terrace and the World wish you a good harvest. Your Majesty, Gu Mingda, respectfully wishes you good fortune, good health, and eternal blessings!"

Li Yong listened to Gu Mingda's toast that contained the word "Fu" that exceeded the standard. He didn't know what he thought of. He laughed loudly and said: "The number one scholar is so talented in literature, it's obvious to me!"

The emperor picked up the wine glass and drank it, and then Gu Mingda drank all the wine in his glass. Gu Mingda made a good start, and the second-place finisher behind him racked his brains to come up with a toast. However, the emperor's interest was not as good as when he faced Gu Mingda before. After just a brief taste, he turned his attention to the food behind him. Tanhua Qin Jing.

When No. 2 sat down, his eyes darkened.

Wait until Qin Jing stood up to toast.

The emperor smiled and said: "The beauty is unique and unique in the world. My Tanhua Lang is worthy of this sentence."

After that, the emperor picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He obviously liked Qin Jing's good looks very much.

The emperor drank more or less wine, depending on his mood.

But his every move affected the hearts of others. The eyes of many people present were focused on the three people in the first class and the three in the first class, and the most attention was paid to the second class who was treated differently.

No. 2 frowned and lowered his head, making it difficult to see the expression on his face.

After the farewell banquet, it is the highlight of the ceremony: praising officials in the Imperial Street.

The new scholars left the palace and rode horses to tour the main streets of the city. This was called "Yujie Kuai Guan", which was also commonly known as "horse beating parade" among the people.

Every year, the imperial street boasting officials is a grand spectacle in the capital, and the restaurants and shops on both sides of the main street are packed with people.

The Gu family had already paid a high price for a private room on the second floor of the No. 1 scholar in the capital.

At this time, Mrs. Gu proudly said to her family: "Thanks to me. I was in Fang City the day before yesterday. I heard that this private room is very popular every year, so I rushed over to buy it, and I happened to grab this one." The last room on the second floor.”

Zhang Yunniang smiled and praised: "Mom, you are decisive in doing things, otherwise we would have to huddle together on the street like everyone else."

The Sun family also stayed in Gu's private room.

Sun Jiaxing held Longevity in his arms and said, "Auntie, no wonder they say that having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. This is absolutely true."

Being praised by Sun Jiaxing, the second best student in the previous subject, Mrs. Gu was so happy that her tail was raised to the sky, and she held her head high, like a general who had won a battle.

Dad Gu said vaguely from the side: "A blind cat encounters a dead mouse..."

Mrs. Gu was in high spirits. When she heard this, she immediately glared at her husband: "I rely on my real ability!"

Father Gu glanced at his wife casually with his turbid eyes, then moved his steps, slowly reached the window of the private room, leaned out and looked outside.

Although Mrs. Gu was angry with the old man, worry still prevailed in the end and said: "Go back and sit down, blindly looking at something, be careful not to fall down."

Father Gu said: "I...I know...well..."

Mrs. Gu's brows suddenly furrowed so much that she could kill a fly, and she didn't dare to brag to anyone else anymore. She stood aside and held on to Mr. Gu tightly.

But Niu Niu suddenly said: "Grandma, has grandpa recovered from his illness?"

Mrs. Gu looked back at her precious granddaughter and said casually: "How can it be possible that the disease is cured? Old doctor Yan said that it is just like this. Just be confused, as long as you don't run around, don't take the child with you like you did in the countryside before." While you are running to the mountains, you can just say that others are confused, and you can even say a few unpleasant words from time to time to undermine me..."

"When the five blessings are gathered, I respectfully apply tin, and the spring platform and the world wish for a good harvest" comes from "Jiaxu New Year's Day", "Lang Yan is unique and unique in the world" comes from "Baishi Langqu"
