"Silence!"
Just as the scholars were chatting merrily, a dignified old man in a red official robe walked out of the Ministry of Official Personnel.
This old man was not an ordinary person. He was a famous and capable official in history, Gao Shilian, the Duke of Shen, and also the Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty.
Gao Shilian, originally named Gao Jian, word Shi Lian, Bohai County County people.
He was the grandson of Gao Yue, King of Qinghe in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the son of Gao Mai, the governor of Taozhou in the Sui Dynasty, the uncle of Empress Wende of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and Zhangsun Wuji, Duke of Zhao. He was ranked sixth in Lingyan Pavilion.
A big shot!
Gao Shilian walked out of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, accompanied by a group of officials. With a loud shout, the entire square instantly fell silent.
He didn't waste any time and took out a list of official positions from his sleeve. He read it aloud,""This is a year of grace and a hundred auspicious signs. All of you are the talents of our Great Tang. After the discussion of the Ministry of Central Affairs and the judgment of the Emperor, you have been appointed!”
"Chen Guangrui, the top scholar, will be appointed as the sixth grade secretary of Hongwen Hall.”
"Lu Xiuyuan, the second-in-command, is a seventh-grade doctor of Taichang Temple.”
"Granted to Tanhua Cui Mingzhi, a seventh-grade direct scholar in the Imperial College.”
"Cheng Zongwen, a new Jinshi, is appointed as the Eighth Rank Magistrate of the Supreme Court."
“......”
"Cui Bo, a new Jinshi, will be appointed as the ninth grade officer of the Great History Bureau!”
"Li Zongwang, a new Jinshi, will be appointed as a 9th Rank County Lieutenant of Yongfu County, Tianshui Prefecture, Qingzhou!”
"Chen Ziming, Imperial Academy."
Gao Shilian read out the names of the thirty-six new candidates.
At the end, when he announced Chen Qi's appointment, he could not help but be slightly stunned. Then, he raised his head and continued to announce in a strange tone,"From the position of a Ninth Grade Scribe!"
Not only Gao Shilian, but even the other officials of the Ministry of Official Personnel, as well as the newly appointed scholars, could not help but be in an uproar. They looked at Chen Qi with pity, guessing who he had offended.
It was as if a husky had suddenly snuck into a pack of wolves.
Ever since the restoration of the imperial examination system in the Great Tang, Chen Qi had set a new record for the lowest rank of Jinshi.
This was probably the first ninth rank scholar to appear since the restoration of the imperial examinations.
In modern terms, it was not harmful but extremely insulting.
In addition, the position of Hanlin Academy's secretary was also very particular.
The first was the Hanlin Academy.
In the impression of many people, in ancient times, as long as one was the top scholar, they would have to go to the Imperial Academy to study. As a result, the Imperial Academy was also known as the cradle of the prime minister.
However, that was in the future, after Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji. It had nothing to do with the present.
What was the Imperial Academy used for in the early days of the Great Tang?
At the beginning, it was an organization for people with skills. There were various talents in the courtyard, such as Ci, Jing, He Lian (alchemy), monks, Daoists, divination, Zhu, Shu, Yi, calligraphy, chess, etc. They were called waiting for the imperial edict, which meant that they were summoned and sent by the emperor at any time.
To put it nicely, it was the residence of the extraordinary people worshipped by the imperial court.
To put it bluntly, it was a place for acrobatics.
As for the scholar of the Imperial Academy?
You could understand it as an official who organized books.
Yes, he should be an official. Although it was only a nominal official position, it was still a ninth rank.
To be more specific, he could refer to Sun Wukong, who raised horses in the Heavenly Court. He was probably on the same level as Ma Wen.
After Gao Shilian finished reading the appointment of the new Jinshi, he looked at Chen Qi strangely.
He was also very curious about what the little guy in front of him had done to be so hated by the Tang Emperor, Li Shimin. Not only was he appointed as a Secondary Ninth Pin, but he was also sent to the Imperial Academy.
It could be said that the career of this little guy named Chen Qi was completely over.
Of course, he wouldn't tell Chen Qi that Chen Qi's initial appointment was not like that. It was a very good official position of the ninth rank.
Unfortunately, this appointment was directly rejected by the Tang King, Li Shimin, and he was appointed as the ninth grade scholar of the Imperial Academy.
"A ninth grade scholar from the Imperial Academy?"
After Chen Qi heard his own appointment, he could not help but be stunned.
Sad and angry?
It didn't exist at all. If he could, he would jump up and kiss the old man in front of him.
This official position was really too suitable for him.
To think that he had been worried that he would not be able to find new books to read after reading the Four Books and Five Classics he had brought with him.
Alright, there was no need to worry now.
Although the Imperial Academy of the Great Tang was not as good as the Hongwen Hall, it was still the place with the richest collection of books in the world.
Moreover, unlike Hongwen Hall, the Imperial Academy had a very complex collection of books because of the artists 'offerings. There were books on Ci, classics, alchemy, Buddhist scriptures, Daoist scriptures, divination, and many other types of books.
This was definitely the place he had dreamed of.
Thus, although this appointment from the Imperial Court was extremely insulting, he didn't care.
What was the saying?
The world deceives me, slanders me, humiliates me, laughs at me, despises me, despises me. How should I deal with it?
Chen Qi replied," I just have to tolerate him, let him be, let him be, avoid him, tolerate him, respect him, and ignore him. After I study hard for a hundred years, we'll come back and settle the score."”
